Chapter 412 Crystal Palace Examiner, Lady Aqua's kindness is never-ending!
"How's it going, Broly? Any changes over in Scorpio?"
Broly arrived at the Holy Residence Council building, where Aqua, who had changed into a sky-blue evening gown, greeted him and immediately began asking questions.
"No changes for now. It may take some time before the abilities of suspicion and exaggeration can be activated."
Broly shook his head. The Scorpio aura remained stable in his perception, and he found nothing unusual.
"Eris, did you even properly bless Broly with good fortune? Were you trying to cheat?"
Upon hearing this, Aqua put her hands on her hips, glared at the Goddess of Fortune behind her who had also changed into a white evening gown, and questioned her.
"Aqua-senpai, I wouldn't cheat. I used all my strength to apply Broly's lucky charm."
Eris quickly denied this.
"That might be your lucky blessing, but it stopped working after you arrived in this other world."
"Probably not, I can feel the lucky blessing still on Broly."
Wait a minute, Aqua-senpai, you're not here to pick a fight because you couldn't help Broly, hoping I can't help Broly either.
This is to prove that your inability to help is not your fault, because I can't help either.
"Hmm, you wouldn't think that, would you?"
Eris was somewhat skeptical.
"Ah, would I be that kind of person?"
"Aqua-senpai, you're avoiding my gaze."
Eris offered a reminder.
"I just want to see Broly, oh Broly, you'll believe me, right?"
Aqua looked over expectantly.
Broly: "..."
The Saiyan boy, who knew what kind of person his goddess master was, nodded, expressing his complete trust in his goddess master.
However, the fact that the happiness points increased slightly afterward, in a sense, proved that this goddess master might have some expectation that Eris was actually a useless guy.
"See that? This is the bond between us, master and disciple—unconditional trust!"
Aqua's momentum surged once again.
"But I also believe in Eris."
However, Broly's additional words interrupted Aqua's momentum.
"Then let the good fortune take some more time to develop."
"Let's not talk about that anymore, the banquet is about to start, let's go inside quickly."
Aqua changed the subject, took Broly's hand, and walked into the council building.
"Wait for me~"
Eris quickly followed and came to the other side of Broly.
Broly looked at her and offered her his other free hand.
Eris was a little embarrassed, but still blushed and took the boy's hand.
He didn't have women on his left and right, but he did have hands clasped on both sides.
Aqua and Eris, like two beautiful older sisters with different styles, came to the banquet with their younger brother.
The banquet that the Holy Emperor hosted for Aqua this time was held to the standards of a state banquet. However, since it was a private banquet, there weren't many attendees. They were all people Broly knew, or rather, most of them were people who were potential romance options.
This includes Hiruko Kagetane and his daughter Hiruko Kohina. After learning that Aqua planned to test those who wanted to join the Crystal Palace at the banquet, the young princess went to great lengths, even contacting the terrorist-like Hiruko father and daughter.
Hiruko Kagetane, that audacious fellow, openly brought his daughter to the banquet, dressed in a sharp suit, though he wore a mask.
"Little Enju, why are you playing with this weakling? Play with me instead."
Hiruko Kohina, dressed in a blue gothic dress, spoke to Aihara Enju, who had changed into a white dress.
The "weakling" she was referring to was the dolphin factor girl standing next to Aihara Enju, Chizu Natsuyo, with her blonde hair tied in small braids on both sides.
"Xia Shicai is not weak, and besides, I don't associate with guys who casually hurt others!"
Aihara Enju glared angrily at Hiruko Kohina and said...
Not weak?
Let her have a match with me then.
If I lose, let me kill her.
If I win, I'll be friends with her.
Or, she could kill me if she wanted to.
Upon hearing this, Hiruko Kohina suggested that she was the type who typically liked to take action.
"You bastard..."
Aihara Enju was a little angry, but was stopped by Senju Natsuyo who was beside her.
"Yeonju, let me handle this myself."
Natsuyo Senju came to Hiruko Kohina.
"Since you want to compete with me, then let's have a competition."
Hiruko Kohina was eager to try, and reached for the knife at her waist, but found nothing.
Because her weapons were temporarily confiscated when she came in.
However, it's possible to fight even without weapons.
Hiruko Kohina, however, made a ferocious tiger-like pouncing stance towards Senju Natsuyo, with two small tiger claws.
"Stop!"
Just as Hiruko Kohina was about to make her move, Senju Natsuyo stopped her first.
"What's wrong now?"
Hiroko Hina frowned.
"A competition has to be fair, right?"
Qian Shouxia asked.
"Uh, yes."
Hiruko Kohina thought about it and realized that what the other person said made sense.
"I am the originator of the Dolphin Factor and am not good at fighting. You are the originator of the Mantis Factor and are better at fighting. If we only use fighting as a way to compete, I will definitely lose."
"So what do you want?"
"How about we compete in my own way?"
"Your way?"
"That's the way to outsmart your opponent."
Senju Natsuyo explained.
"Wouldn't that be unfair to me?"
"Therefore, we have a best-of-five series."
However, you're more capable, so you have to give way to me.
"We must first conduct three trials using my method, and then we can proceed with the trial using your method."
Hiruko Kohina sensed something was wrong and frowned as she pondered.
"Of course, if I had won against you beforehand, you wouldn't have your fighting style. But do you consider yourself an idiot?"
"Of course I'm not stupid."
"So, are you scared?"
"Who's afraid of you?"
"So, will you say yes?"
"I agree!"
Provoked, Hiruko Kohina immediately agreed.
On the other side, Hiruko Kagetane, seeing what was happening here, couldn't help but adjust the mask on his face.
"My foolish daughter!"
He let out a helpless sigh.
"Suppose there are 36 Gastrea in front of us, divided into bipedal and quadrupedal types, and we can see 122 legs. How many bipedal Gastrea and how many quadrupedal Gastrea are there?"
"Who could possibly know?"
Hiruko Kohina thought for a while, then grabbed her hair, feeling that the problem was unsolvable.
"The answers are 11 and 25, and solving this problem is actually quite simple; it only requires using a linear equation in two variables..."
Natsuyo Senju began to explain, and Kohina Hiruko listened with wide eyes.
"Is it really that easy to calculate?"
Hiroko Hina suddenly realized.
"Hurry up and give me another question."
She said confidently.
"Okay, let's have another competition. Suppose there is 1 Gastrea in the first cage, 4 in the second, 9 in the third, 16 in the fourth, and so on. How many Gastrea are in the eighth cage?"
Hiruko Kohina had a blank expression on her face, and then she repeated the process again, feeling that there was no solution to the problem. Chizu Natsuyo then gave her the answer.
During this process, the girl, who only had a mindset of fighting and killing, began to admire Chisato Natsume.
One question, two questions, three questions... When it came to the fourth question, Chizu Natsuyoshi asked the same question type as before. After Hiruko Kohina answered it correctly and said she had won, Chizu Natsuyoshi reminded her that it was best of five, and she had already lost three games.
"Damn it, kill me or torture me, do as you please."
Hiruko Kohina was very angry, but she didn't intend to renege on her debt.
"I won't kill you or torture you. We're friends now, aren't we?"
Hiroko Hina: "..."
Because of what Chishou Natsuyo said, his happiness level suddenly increased.
"That girl has high emotional intelligence and IQ. What's her name?"
Aqua asked the Holy Emperor beside her.
"Natsuyo Senju."
The Holy Emperor replied.
"Is she also one of Broly's targets?"
"Yes."
"Then why did she reject Broly before?"
The young Holy Emperor looked troubled.
"I haven't inquired about this matter."
"Then why did you reject my lovely disciple?"
"When Broly called the hotline, I assumed he was someone from the military..."
The Holy Emperor began to explain in a low voice.
"If there hadn't been this misunderstanding, would you have agreed?"
Aqua asked.
"Lady Aqua, I don't want to deceive you. Even if there's no misunderstanding, I still won't agree."
"Oh, why?"
"I am the Holy Emperor. I cannot simply agree to marry a stranger just because he wants me to be his wife."
The Holy Emperor answered truthfully.
"So what made you change your mind now?"
Aqua pressed for an answer.
"It is Broly's strength that has been demonstrated; I must protect the safe zone."
"It sounds like it's my disciple's fault, and you're the one who was forced into this."
The Holy Emperor remained silent, for given the circumstances, he was indeed forced into this situation.
"Now that you know about my disciple's situation, even if you change your mind again, Broly won't let your safe zone disappear. Are you still willing to become his wife?"
Aqua asked again.
"willing."
The Holy Emperor answered without hesitation.
Why?
Aqua scrutinized the young girl, the Holy Emperor, before her.
"Because of his support and help, I am able to better realize my dreams."
"May I ask, what is your ideal?"
"Eliminate the divide between ordinary people and the children of the curse, unite humanity, and reclaim and rebuild the home that rightfully belongs to humankind."
Aqua: "..."
The latest novel is first published here!
At that moment, she seemed to see a radiant soul shining before her.
"A guy like you would definitely go to heaven if you died in our world."
Aqua said.
"Uh, thank you for the compliment, Lady Aqua?!"
The Holy Emperor had never heard such words before and was somewhat unaccustomed to them, but he still politely expressed his gratitude.
"So, if you have such ideals, are you prepared to pay the price?"
Aqua became serious and asked the young Holy Emperor.
"Lady Aqua, I am ready. I am willing to give my body at any time as long as my ideal can be realized."
"Ha, even if you give your body, you still won't get a chance to join Crystal Palace."
"what?"
"What you're giving is your own feelings. I ask you, are you prepared to love Broly and to feel happy in the process of loving this child?"
"Well……"
The young Holy Emperor was somewhat bewildered and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Hmph, in the Crystal Palace, whether or not one loves Broly and can feel happy in the process of loving him is a very important measure of one's status."
If you can't do that, even if you join Crystal Palace, you'll just be an insignificant nobody.
"With such a low status, you think you can boss Broly around in this world? Don't you think that's going too far?"
Aqua's question caused the young Holy Princess to fall silent for a moment, but she quickly made up her mind.
"Lady Aqua, thank you for your guidance. I will try my best to fall in love with Broly, and I hope that he can also become an ally in my ideal life."
"If you can really make yourself important, then you don't need to ask, Broly will do it for you. That's the kind of kid he is."
But is this all the awareness you need to join Crystal Palace?
"Uh, Lady Aqua, do you know what kind of resolve I'm required to achieve?"
"In the Crystal Palace, there are wives from different worlds, each with their own faction and ideas, and I also have my own faction and ideas. Hmm, do you understand what I mean?"
"Lady Aqua, if I join the Crystal Palace, I will serve you as my master."
The young Holy Emperor, suddenly inspired, spoke directly.
"Hahaha, the first time I saw you, I felt very attracted to you. Now, after hearing what you said, I can confirm that you have great potential to become the perfect wife for my adorable disciple, Broly. Hmm, I have high hopes for you and look forward to your performance."
Aqua waved her hand and approved the process for the Holy Emperor to join the Crystal Palace.
"Aqua-sama..."
After they finished speaking, Sima Weizhi came over carrying a wooden box.
"Um?"
Aqua turned to look at Shima Miori, her gaze filled with scrutiny.
"I've heard Broly mention that you enjoy fine wine. I happened to bring a bottle of Latour from home, so I would like to ask you to try it."
Sima Weizhi opened the wooden box and actually used the tactic of bribing with fine wine.
Aqua's eyes lit up. She took out the wine from the box, uncorked it, poured it out, and sniffed it.
"The color and taste are perfect; it truly deserves to be called fine wine. So, what's your situation?"
"I thought Broly was too small back then, but now I think being small isn't so bad..."
"Is it also because of the strength displayed by my adorable disciple?"
"Um."
Sima Weizhi did not deny that her move to align with Broly was in the best interests of the Sima family.
"You heard what I just said, is there anything you'd like to say?"
Aqua asked.
"I will also try my best to like Broly, and I will also follow Aqua's lead in the Crystal Palace."
"Hmm, bring me a few more wines of this caliber, and I'll consider you passed."
Aqua was very susceptible to bribery, while Eris watched from the side, her eyelids twitching. Aqua's way of doing things was just too worldly and sophisticated.
Aqua may be unreliable in other areas, but never doubt her workplace social skills as a goddess-like elite.
Sipping the Sima family's fine wine, Aqua turned her gaze to the last girl-type target she was trying to win over, Tendo Kisara, who was dressed in a black evening gown. Under her gaze, she felt an inexplicable pressure, but she was not one to be passive, so she spoke up directly.
"My reasons for refusing are similar to those of His Majesty the Holy Emperor. It's impossible for me to directly accept a sudden confession from a relatively unfamiliar child. As for now, to be honest, I don't really care whether I can join that Crystal Palace."
"Don't you have any ideals or aspirations?"
Aqua, as if drunk, squinted and asked.
"Yes, but my wish is revenge, and it only makes sense if I do it myself."
Kisara Tendo clenched her fist; she didn't need the Saiyan boy to do anything for her.
As for his previous confrontation with Sima Weizhi, it was simply because he and Sima Weizhi did not get along.
But now, Aqua is clearly testing her target, stating that the condition is that she needs to develop genuine feelings for Broly.
While Kisara Tendo doesn't dislike boys, she wouldn't say she likes them either; at most, she has a good impression of them. As for someone like Miori Shima who shamelessly pursues him, she simply can't do that.
Therefore, the sword-wielding girl chose to tell the truth, prepared to be rejected, but that was no big deal.
"Ha, I admire your unique personality. You passed!"
However, Aqua's words surprised Tendoki even more.
"Aqua-senpai, are you drunk?"
Eris walked over and dragged Aqua aside, somewhat puzzled as to why the other party, who had said in the group chat that she would give the country bumpkin from another world a severe test, was now being so easy to talk to.
After Aqua was dragged to a corner by Eris, her previously intoxicated gaze immediately cleared.
"I'm not drunk!"
"Why are you talking nonsense if you're not drunk?"
"I'm talking nonsense? You don't understand. I'm not talking nonsense. I just decided from the beginning to bring all the targets in this world that Crystal Palace has recognized into Crystal Palace into Crystal Palace."
"Oh, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
"What's wrong with it?"
"There's no emotional foundation..."
"Who wants to talk about feelings? We want to talk about happiness points, about Broly's interests. We want to bring people into the Crystal Palace. If they have feelings and can generate a lot of happiness points, that's great. If they don't have feelings, it doesn't matter if they're just insignificant little people. Anyway, there's no limit to the number of people in the Crystal Palace."
She paused for a moment, then a sly smile appeared on Aqua's flushed face.
"Moreover, these people were recruited by me under the pretense of taking a test. From now on, they will be my juniors in Crystal Palace. They can never repay the favor of me, Aqua, in agreeing to let them join Crystal Palace."
Therefore, in the group chat room, these people will definitely revolve around me. If I'm doing well, we can all do well; we all come from the same world. Once I've solidified my position as the group chat leader, I'll definitely take good care of you.
"Ah, Aqua-senpai, aren't you being a bit too mercenary and calculating?"
Eris started complaining.
"Study hard and observe carefully. This is the difference between me, the supreme god, and you, who are merely a goddess managing a remote world."
"Didn't you rise to the position of a supreme god because of Broly?"
"Enough with the nonsense. Husband and wife are one. Broly and I have long been an inseparable unit."
Aqua whispered something quickly in Eris's ear, then left the corner.
"Come, let me perform a piece about flowers, birds, wind, and moon for you all!"
Aqua has come back to liven things up again.
"Broly, is your master always like this?"
Rentaro Satomi and Broly ate together after the banquet started. Now, seeing the goddess performing over there, the boy's expression became a little strange, and he asked the Saiyan boy next to him.
"That's how Master Aqua is; she really enjoys lively banquets."
Broly glanced up, answered the boy's question, and then continued eating.
On the table next to them, a pile of plates had already been stacked up to half a person's height.
"All right."
Rentaro Satomi accepted that the otherworldly goddess was indeed this down-to-earth, and then brought up something.
"Broly, do you know about Natsume Senju's situation?"
"What is it?"
"When the facilitator dies, the initiator will reassign partners, but no one needs a logistical support initiator like Ikuma Shōgan."
So, Natsume Senju lost her job. The Mishima Royal Guard Company doesn't want her anymore, and she'll probably be sent back to the outer city soon.
"Well, what I wanted to ask is, what are your thoughts?"
"What thoughts can I have?"
"For example, you could apply to become a police officer and bring that child over to become your initiator, or something like that."
Rentaro Satomi said.
"Is she willing?"
After all, Chizu Natsuyo was the girl who rejected him, so Broly hesitated.
"I think the child will agree. What do you say? If you don't object, I'll take care of it for you."
The boy said.
"Broly boy, you can really eat."
Just then, Hiruko Kagetane walked over.
"I've heard you're worried about the safety of this world, but I have a great idea that will put your mind at ease..."
Before Hiruko Kagetane could finish speaking, Broly suddenly stood up.
But it wasn't because of what the person in front of him said, but because the energy from Scorpio's side suddenly underwent a huge change.
But it was shrinking rapidly, like some life forms that were about to die.
Without hesitation, Broly flew out, but quickly returned, taking Sumire Muroto, Aqua, and Eris with him.
"Broly, what's wrong?"
Aqua, who was still holding a performance fan in her hand, asked.
"Something's happened to Scorpio."
"What happened?"
Sumire Muroto inquired.
"I didn't know, so I brought you along. And the feeling she gave me was like she was about to die."
Broly said somewhat sadly.
"Broly, don't worry, the lucky blessing is still working on you."
Eris comforted him.
