Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 647 The Goddess's Instructions

The next day, Broly woke up in the warm embrace of the goddess Hestia. Although Hestia looked like a little girl, her chest was much larger than that of her master Aqua, who was also a goddess. In addition, she had a warm and hot aura that was completely opposite to that of her master Aqua.

If Broly was someone who could be a hand warmer for others, then Hestia was someone who could be a hand warmer for him.

However, it's unclear whether goddesses share a common trait, but they all drool while sleeping, and Broly could feel that his head was a little wet.

The Saiyan boy got up and started brushing his teeth with the toothpaste and toothbrush he had bought the night before. The rustling sound gradually woke Hestia, who was already showing signs of waking up in bed.

"Woo~"

The goddess lay on the bed, her beautiful body stretched out like a cat. The thin blanket was pushed up high, creating a round tent. The straps on her shoulders had come loose, and her already full breasts looked ready to burst out.

Good morning, Broly!

After stretching, Hestia lazily greeted the boy who was brushing his teeth in the room.

Good morning, Lady Hestia.

Broly responded, gargled his mouth, and then asked the goddess on the bed.

"What would you like to eat? I'll go out and buy it for you."

"Oh, no need. I have to go to work at the French fry shop later. The manager promised to provide meals, so I can eat there."

Hestia was surprised at first, then quickly refused. Since the boy in her own clan was a big eater, she naturally needed to be more frugal.

At least until the family's finances improve, savings should be made wherever possible.

"By the way, Broly, why are you up so early? Is my embrace uncomfortable?"

The goddess, who was lying on the edge of the bed, had her soft breasts squeezed and deformed. She asked the boy a question in a mischievous tone.

According to the novels about the lower realms she had read, children of the opposite sex usually harbor deep admiration and longing for beautiful goddesses.

Just like last night when she held the boy while sleeping, feeling a sense of security, if Broly didn't get up and stayed in bed greedily hugging her body, burying his face deeply in her full breasts, Hestia felt that she would definitely hold him lovingly and allow him to indulge his whims, lying in bed all day long.

Is it comfortable to have your head wet with saliva?

Broly thought for a moment and then said, "I had to go to the dungeon today, so I got up a little earlier."

"Ah, right~"

The fantasies she had developed from certain novels were dispelled by the words of the dungeon. Hestia remembered this and quickly jumped off the bed. The goddess was like a nimble rabbit, and even her chest trembled violently and surged dramatically as she sprang up like a carp.

Unfortunately, Broly was already immune to such beautiful scenery, or rather, he had already gotten used to this kind of perk that his other wives would occasionally give him before it even took effect.

Broly simply squeezed toothpaste onto her toothbrush and handed it to her, then used water-generating magic to create a glass of water in the wooden cup next to her.

"Hey, Broly, you can use water magic too?"

Hestia looked at the liquid that appeared out of thin air with some surprise and asked the question.

"Yes, this is the magic I'm best at."

Broly nodded in agreement.

Water magic was the first type of magic he encountered and the one he was most proficient in using.

After all, it involves issues such as drinking water and bathing.

"You are indeed a very talented child. With the ability of that peculiar crystal palace space from last night, you probably have both a skill and a magic."

Hestia praised the boy from the bottom of her heart, and the fact that such an excellent child as Broly had taken the initiative to become her familia still felt like a dream to her.

"Then, Lady Hestia, I'll head to the dungeon now."

Broly changed into the gear the other party had chosen for him the night before and prepared to go out.

"Wait, Broly, we haven't bought the potion yet."

However, he was stopped by Hestia before that.

"Lady Hestia, I am very powerful and should not need any potions."

Broly didn't believe that a weak monster could hurt him.

"That won't do! The Adventurer's Handbook has a rule that you must be fully prepared before going into a dungeon. You didn't even bring any potions. How can I let you go into a dungeon alone?!"

Hestia insisted on this point, and Broly did not continue to refute the goddess. He did not reject Hestia's visible concern for him.

Perhaps yesterday, he and this goddess were strangers, but today, Broly already regards Hestia as a close friend.

Boys are never stingy when it comes to emotions. They have a mirror-like quality, rarely rejecting kindness from others, but will reciprocate with corresponding or even greater emotions.

"That's right, wait for me a moment."

Hestia quickly brushed her teeth, changed into a white outfit with blue suspenders, and then took the boy out.

The morning breeze in Orario was slightly chilly. As she walked out of the streets, all the neighbors she encountered greeted the goddess Hestia.

Good morning, Lady Hestia.

Hestia has been here for more than two months, and everyone around knows that a down-on-his-luck god who has just descended to the mortal realm and has not yet formed a kin lives near the abandoned church.

"Good morning."

Hestia responded to everyone who greeted her. She was never indifferent to the children of the lower realm. She had even tried to bring some of the older people around her into her familia. Unfortunately, most of the people who lived here were elderly ordinary citizens or retired adventurers. The idea that they were in their forties, fifties, sixties, or seventies and were in their prime was a truly hellish joke.

"Lord Hestia, have you recruited any new members for your clan?"

Someone noticed the Saiyan boy she was holding hands with and couldn't help but ask him about it.
“That’s right.” Hestia immediately puffed out her chest when someone asked, her face beaming with a smile, and introduced the boy to the person who asked, “This child is called Broly, please take care of him from now on!”

"What a congratulations."

Seeing the little goddess's delighted expression, the neighbors offered their congratulations.

Of course, many people feel that the goddess Hestia also had a tough time. She lived in that dilapidated abandoned church for more than two months before finally meeting a simple child who was willing to join her kin.

And it's just one child that made her so happy.

"Would you like an apple, Lady Hestia? It's on me."

A dwarf uncle who had just returned from the morning market with fruit couldn't bear to watch any longer. He suppressed the sympathy he was about to show and said to Hestia, "May the sugar in the apples sweeten this goddess."

"Hey, is that okay?"

Hestia looked over.

"Of course, after all, Lord Hestia, you sometimes give us potato balls too."

The bearded dwarf nodded.

"Those were just leftovers from the place where I worked."

"But it doesn't affect the taste, does it?"

The dwarf uncle warmly handed over two red apples.

“Here you go, Lady Hestia, and this little Broly.”

Thank you!

Hestia expressed her gratitude, and Broly, along with the goddess beside her, thanked the dwarf uncle who had given them the apples.

After traveling some distance away from the abandoned church and the secluded Forgotten Alley, no one on the road greeted Hestia.

Clearly, these people did not know Hestia.

"Click~"

Chewing on an apple, Hestia led the boy and soon arrived at the city area southeast of the abandoned church.

The streets here are also old, and the goddess stopped in front of a shop with a sign that read "Tianqing Pharmacy".

As soon as the shop door opened, a tall, slender, blue-haired man in a gray robe—or perhaps a heartthrob—was moving the wooden planks that made up the shop door. "Good morning, Mihe!"

Even from some distance, Hestia greeted the other person.

"Isn't this Hestia? You seem quite energetic today. I bet something good has happened, right?"

Mihe, who had the air of a noble young master, turned around and saw Hestia. Upon seeing the boy being led by the little goddess, he smiled and spoke to his celestial friend.

“Indeed, there is good news, my friend. This is the first child of my clan, named Broly, and he is going to the dungeon today for his first adventurer’s activity.”

Hestia brought the boy over and introduced him to Mih.

“Then I think he needs some elixirs.”

"That's exactly why I'm here."

The handsome blue-haired god turned his head and called out to the Sky Blue Pharmacy: "Nazha, bring out a set of potion suits for novice adventurers."

Not long after he finished speaking, a dog-woman came out carrying some things.

"Master Mihe."

She respectfully handed what she was holding to her family's deity.

After receiving it, Mih passed it on to Hestia.

"Mich, how much do these medicines cost?"

Hestia inquired about the price and had already taken out her money pouch.

"Never mind, we're friends. Consider these potions a gift from me to your child for his first adventure."

Mich waved his hand.

"Mich, you're still as good as ever."

Hestia accepted her friend's offer.

"If my family grows in the future, they will definitely patronize your pharmacy more often."

The Lolita goddess said with absolute certainty.

"That would be the best thing ever."

Mich simply smiled at this.

"Master Mihe..."

After Hestia left with the boy, the dog-woman next to her offered a reminder.

"Our pharmacy's profits this month are almost gone again."

"You've really worked hard, Nazha."

The handsome young man, who looked like a noble prince, looked over and said something gently to the girl from his clan.

"I'm not suffering, it's just that, Lord Mihe, we're always giving away potions to people who can't afford them. When will we ever be able to pay off our debt?"

"Perhaps, when my divine friend Hestia's kin have prospered, they will come and patronize our shop's business!"

“Lord Mich, I do not mean to belittle your friend, but it is a very difficult thing for Lord Hestia’s newly established familia to gain a foothold in Orario by exploring dungeons.”

"Yes, that's why I want to help her. Hestia is my friend in the heavens. I'm not as capable as Hephaestus, but I can still offer some small help within my power."

Naza sighed. Her god was just too gentle and benevolent. However, it was precisely because of this personality that she was not abandoned by this god after being seriously injured and losing her right hand in the dungeon.

She'll let it go this time, but next time, she will never allow anyone else to take advantage of her god, not even if they are her god's friends in the heavens.

Naza swore an oath to the silver prosthetic arm on her right arm, and it was precisely because of this expensive prosthetic arm that the Mih Familia had fallen into its current predicament, even forcing Lord Mih to bow down to a god with whom they were at odds.

. . . .

On the other side, Hestia, who was being treated as a freeloader, escorted Broly to the entrance of the Babel Tower underground labyrinth like a parent sending their child to school for the first time.

“Broly, I know you may be very powerful, but don’t be too reckless once you enter the dungeon. The dangers of the dungeon are something that even we gods cannot fully predict.”

The loli goddess gave her careful instructions.

"But the deeper the monster we defeat, the more magic crystals and items we get, which can be exchanged for more money. Aren't we in a familia short of money?"

"I do lack money, but your safety is more important. If I don't have money, I can work to earn money to support you, but if you lose your life, then I, this god, will be all alone again."

"Now that I have you, my child from the same clan, even though only one night has passed, I never want to go back to being all alone."

After Hestia finished speaking sincerely, she noticed the boy's serious face and added with a smile, "Of course, if we can make money, we should make more, but only within a safe range."

Secondly, your true strength should exceed your displayed stats. If you directly venture into the deeper dungeons and defeat high-level monsters, you might be mistaken for having accomplished a great feat by the Divine Grace, leading to a level increase.

"Hey, is leveling up a bad thing?"

"No, leveling up is a good thing, but if you level up before you have fully explored the potential of your current level, that is, before you have raised your ability value to the limit that you can raise, it would be a huge waste of your talent."

Broly, I believe in your potential and I am willing to place my hopes on you for the future heights that the clan can reach.

That's why I hope you can build a solid foundation at each level.

In this way, you can go much further on the path of an adventurer..."

Hestia wanted to outshine the clan of that guy with the barren chest who now stood at the top of Orario.

So, whether it was for the boy's safety or for his own personal desire to surpass Loki's clan.

Hestia hoped that her son would not do anything too risky, just like what Miss Eina said last night: adventurers should not be too risky!

"Yes, Lady Hestia, I will do as you say."

Broly solemnly agreed.

"So, I went to work at the potato ball shop."

Oh, and if you get hungry, be sure to come up for a meal.

This is for your meal.

Hestia handed Broly a money bag, said goodbye, and ran off.

Broly wasn't hungry yet, so he tossed the money pouch into the Crystal Palace space and, along with the group of adventurers who were preparing to explore the dungeon that morning, entered the dungeon entrance.

As soon as Broly stepped onto the spiral staircase, he sensed a powerful pressure, carrying an aura similar to that of a god, enveloping the surrounding space.

Broly's target wasn't the adventurers descending the stairs, but rather the surrounding walls themselves. He followed the flow of people down the stairs and soon arrived at the first level of the dungeon labyrinth.

The oppressive aura carrying the divine presence had lessened, but it was still there. What appeared before them were tunnels with different passages.

The pale blue walls emitted a faint aura, as if the underground labyrinth they connected to were a living creature.

And indeed, based on the legends about the ancient underground labyrinth that he heard from Bell, Broly had reason to believe that the labyrinth was a living creature.

The adventurers began to disperse, and Broly chose an empty tunnel to enter. He touched the walls, sensing the presence within.

Soon, a faint aura approached him, and as it stopped at the spot on the wall where his palm was touching, a raised mark appeared on the pale blue wall.

A snapping sound rang out, and then a green-skinned goblin was squeezed out of the pale blue wall right in front of Broly.

Newborn monsters don't have the weakened period of normal offspring. With a strange cry, it grabbed the wooden stick it was born with and charged toward Broly.

In response, the Saiyan boy simply flicked the air in front of him with his finger. The air at his fingertip was like a cannonball that pierced the goblin's head, and in an instant, the head of the newly born monster exploded.

The headless corpse fell to the ground, its body dissipating into ashes, just like the dragons he had casually killed three days ago.

In the black ashes, there was a magic crystal about the size of a child's pinky fingernail, and an inconspicuous wooden stick—clearly a dropped item.
