Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 728 A Rare Treasure Becomes an Unparalleled Treasure

Broly's opening description of his own situation completely stunned Freya, who was sitting opposite him in the form of a young girl, the mascot of the poster.

She carefully examined the boy opposite her, and only after finding no signs that he was lying did she interrupt Broly's description of his childhood life as a spider hunter on Planet Wampa.

"Mr. Broly, do you mean that you come from a world on another planet, much higher than the heavens where the gods reside?"

This world has some understanding of the stars and the universe, but due to the influence of divine authority, the exploration of the starry sky has not developed. Seele, played by Freya, can only ask the Saiyan boy questions using the language she can understand in her own worldview.

"To be precise, it's not other stars in this world, but other stars in another world."

Broly corrected the girl on the signboard.

[I'm not lying...]

Seele narrowed her eyes, concealing the glint in them, but even now, she couldn't detect any wavering in the boy's soul.

"Visitors from another world, that's really an incredible thing!"

The gray-haired girl said with a smile.

“I didn’t lie. Everything I told you, Miss Seele, was the truth.”

Broly thought the other party didn't believe him, so he emphasized it in a serious manner.

“I am willing to believe Mr. Broly.”

Freya not only believed it, but she was also deeply moved.

The Saiyan boy's soul, if she had previously only considered it a rare treasure she had encountered for the first time in the lower realm.

Now, with the added attribute of being from another world, it has become a priceless treasure that may be unique to the lower realm.

This unique characteristic was incredibly attractive to a goddess like her, who had a collecting obsession with special children.

"But can you tell me, as someone from another world, why did you come to our world?"

Gods descend to the mortal realm to satisfy their own desires for pleasure. Freya was somewhat curious about the boy's purpose in coming to this world.

“Miss Seele, I think I already talked to you about this when we first met.”

"Uh, you came here for a fateful encounter?!"

Freya recalled the events, and her face flushed slightly as she tried to appear as a girlish model.

Seeking an encounter across the world is far more romantic than simply coming to Orario to seek a fateful meeting.

“Yes, that’s why I came into this world.” Broly nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, “Miss Seele, would you like to hear more of my story?”

"Ah, sorry, I interrupted your story."

Freya was still very interested in the Saiyan boy, so she apologized and gestured for Broly to continue.

"From initially hunting Vampa Spiders, to later trading with them using the blood of Baya Beasts..."

"Hey, are those giant spiders intelligent monsters?"

"They probably don't have intelligence, but they do have biological instincts, and I've formed a new food chain relationship with them."

Broly continued his story, and the mascot girl listened quietly. She soon heard about the time-traveling opportunity Broly encountered when he was five years old.

"One day, a voice suddenly appeared in my consciousness, telling me that if I go to another world, meet someone special, and make them happy, I can obtain food that tastes normal..."

"So, you went to another world?"

"Yes, in my ignorance, I heard about food and went to another world."

"So, who was the first person you met...?"

"A little girl surrounded by many insects, but at that time I envied her for having so much food to eat."

"Hey, you're eating bugs?"

"Actually, it tastes pretty good, much better than the Vampa Spider from my original world."

Although Seele would occasionally ask questions, she mostly remained a quiet listener.

Before long, she had heard the whole story of Broly's first time traveling to another world.

Although Broly didn't use any boastful words, after listening to his entire speech, Freya felt that he had become a little girl's hero in that world.

Then came the second world, the third world...

Even if it's just a general account of the experience, after recounting the whole story, it takes time to go from morning to afternoon.

"Mr. Broly, your experiences in other worlds are truly fascinating. I'm still craving more after hearing about them..."

Freya sincerely shared her thoughts after hearing the story, saying that the boy's experiences were far more fascinating than those of many children she had ever met.

Some of the worlds she experienced were so bizarre that even she, a deity, found them astonishing, such as the six-sided world that could continuously rewind time.

"I feel like I haven't had enough. Unfortunately, my story has come to this point, and as for what happens next and in the future, that's something I can't predict right now."

"It's not impossible to predict. I believe that you, in this world, will definitely achieve a satisfactory result in the future."

"So, Miss Seele, are you willing to formally accept our encounter in the future of this world?"

Broly blinked and asked the gray-haired girl opposite him.

"Well, that depends on your performance. If Mr. Broly can make me fall hopelessly in love with you..."

"Then what should I do?"

"Of course, you should think about this yourself; how can you ask me?"

The young girl on the signboard pretended to be angry.

"Ok."

Broly had no choice but to give up and get the correct strategy from the girl herself.

"It's getting late, I should head back. The tavern is busiest and most busy at night, I can't be absent and make Liu and the others at the tavern work too hard."

“Then, Miss Seele, I’ll take you back.”

"Mm." The gray-haired girl did not refuse, but after being escorted to the tavern entrance, she leaned close to Broly's ear and said, "From now on, just call me Seele. You don't need to use honorifics like 'Miss,' it sounds a bit distant."

"Okay, Seele, you can just call me Broly from now on. Don't add anything like 'sir'."

Broly nodded, then put his newfound knowledge to use.

"Would you like to dine here tonight?"

"They should come."

"See you tonight, Broly."

See you tonight, Seele.

The two parted ways at the store entrance.

. . . .

"Seele, did your date with Mr. Broly go well today?"

After the girl who was waving the signboard walked into the store, Ryu, who was wiping a table, asked her a question.

"Why do you ask?"

That's because your face is full of undisguised joy.

"Huh, is it that obvious?"

"It's obvious, it's like the expression Chloe would have if she found money on the street, or Anya would have eaten something delicious."

Miss Elf nodded seriously, and then used other people in the shop as examples to illustrate her point.

“Well, it went very smoothly. Broly shared a lot of his stories with me.”

Seele said with a smile.

“Eh, Broly?” Ryu noticed the change in her friend’s way of addressing the boy.

"Yes, our relationship is so good that we can call each other by our first names."

Seele puffed out her little chest and said.

"Well, congratulations then."

Liu was stunned for a moment, then congratulated her friend. A change in address often signifies a change in relationship.

"Ryu, why don't you try to get closer to him too, and call him Broly by his first name from now on, without using honorifics like 'Mr'?"

Seele looked at her and suddenly asked.

"Ah, I don't need to call him by his first name. After all, Mr. Broly is my swordsmanship instructor."

Ryu refused outright.

“But I’ve already told him to call you by your name from now on. He calls you by your name, but you call him ‘sir.’ That’s not a good idea, Ryu. You’re at a disadvantage.”

Seele spoke without hesitation.

"Hey, Seele, why did you do that?"

Upon hearing this, the female elf's eyes widened.

"Ugh, I want to improve the relationship between the three of us, is that not okay?"

Seele pretended to be innocent.

"Oh, if you want to be friends, you can be with him alone. Why do you have to drag me into it?"

Ryu expressed her confusion, and the thought of being called by her first name by a Saiyan boy made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Of course, she didn't dislike Broly; she just felt that getting too close to him would be a bit inappropriate.

"Since we've already said it, it's a bit late to bring this up again. Ryu, why don't you just call him by his name as I suggested?"

Seele started to whine and beg the elf lady, and what could Liu do? She sighed and reluctantly agreed.

"By the way, Ryu, would you be interested in learning about Broly's story?"

Seele added, "It looks like she's a best friend trying to recommend something to a friend."

"That's a story he shared with you; I have no interest in it."

Upon hearing this, Ryu resolutely refused.

"That was really great!"

Seele tempted her.

"I went to help in the kitchen."

The female elf left without hesitation.

"Ugh, with Ryu's personality like that, Broly, it's going to be difficult to get her to accept your formal invitation for a future meeting, especially with so many people..."

After the elf left, the mascot girl muttered something to herself.

. . . .

Meanwhile, Broly, having parted ways with the mascot girl, decided to go down into the dungeon to kill some time since it was still early.

He took out his communication crystal and dialed Bell's crystal. After asking if he wanted to go to the dungeon together, he learned that the white-haired boy was at the flower shop with Miss Anna.

"Brother Broly, I'm so sorry..."

Bell's apologetic voice came from the sound transmission crystal.

"It's alright, it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision. I'll go find Lorne."

Just as Broly went to the Hermes Familia to find the red-haired dwarf and take him to the dungeon to level up that afternoon, he was disappointed to find that the dwarf was not there.

“Mr. Broly, you mean Lorne? Last night he found out he had leveled up with Lord Hermes, and this morning he got dressed up early, saying he was going to make a final confession or something.”

He was greeted by Lulune, the dog-woman from yesterday, and what she said surprised Broly.

"Lorne leveled up so quickly, how did he accomplish such a feat?"

"It seems like they were involved yesterday, dealing with those man-eating flowers..."

Broly, who came out of the Hermes Familia's residence, was also speechless. Great achievements really do depend on the person. When he hadn't activated the Super Weight Training, it was extremely difficult for him to acquire great achievements, but for others, acquiring great achievements was as easy as playing a game.

However, this is a good thing, at least it's a way of repaying the other party. I just don't know if Lorne will still need to go to the dungeon after leveling up and being able to pursue the girl he admires.

With that in mind, Broly lost interest in going to the dungeon today. Since it wasn't far from Southeast Street, he turned around and headed to the Soma Familia's residence.

Upon arriving at the Soma clan's residence, there were no more drunkards blocking the entrance. The antidote for alcohol addiction was incredibly effective, and anyone who didn't want to suffer from withdrawal symptoms was now obediently following orders, working hard and living life to the fullest during the day.

Broly entered the Soma Familia by scanning his face and went straight to the captain's office on the third floor: "Lily, you don't need to help me find out about Hayate anymore. I've already learned about her situation from Seele... um, Seele."

"Is that so? By the way, what happened today? Why are you starting to call Miss Seele by her first name, Brother Broly?"

"I just went on a date with her and we talked briefly about Ms. Ryu..."

Broly explained that the mascot girl wanted to be called by her name before they parted ways.

"Ah, that guy Frova, he's pretty good at this, he's already caught up..."

The little girl pouted; if it had been before last night, she might have felt a little jealous.

But now...

Having already tasted Broly's milk, Lily Luca felt that she was far ahead in intimate relationships with boys.

[No one can challenge my position except Lady Hestia!]

The little girl thought to herself, and then congratulated the Saiyan boy.

"That's wonderful, Broly. You're one step closer to successfully meeting Miss Seele and the others."

"Hmm," Broly replied, then asked, "I'm free now, Lily. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Ah, I've almost finished handling the recent clan affairs."

As Lily Luca spoke, she looked at the Saiyan boy and swallowed hard.

"or……"

Just as she was about to say that she wanted to have something to drink in the office, there was a knock on the door.

"Commander Erd, Lord Soma has already brewed the first batch of divine wine for the Ishtar and Hephaestus Families. Shall we send it over now?"

Divine wine is quite precious, and even within the city, it might be robbed. Chandra came up to ask if they should send skilled men to transport it there now.

"Shall I help with the delivery?"

"Ok."

Unexpectedly, something really happened, and Lily Luca had no choice but to give up her idea of ​​drinking milk in the afternoon.

It would be too dangerous to send Broly, who has already become more assertive, to deliver alcohol in a place like the entertainment district.

Therefore, Lily Luca left the most dangerous place for men to herself, but sent the Saiyan boy to deliver sake to the Hephaestus Familia.

Broly agreed and followed the Soma Familia's wine delivery cart to the Hephaestus Familia.

. . . . .

"Hey, Broly, it's you who brought the drinks?!"

Chun was very happy to see him arrive.

"Perfect timing, I have some good news to tell you."

The one-eyed craftsman settled the bill for the batch of divine wine with the Soma clan's wine deliveryman, then took the Saiyan boy upstairs.
