Chapter 399 With Broly around, Tokyo is safe!
Let's move forward in time...
"Chiju, bring out the high-explosive bomb."
In the forest, after passing a gastrulator nest, Yi Xiong stopped and suddenly spoke to the girl following behind him.
"Brother Jiangjian, what are you planning to do?"
Although Chizu Natsuyo didn't understand why, she still took the bomb out of her backpack and handed it to the man in front of her.
"Of course, we'll blow up this nest and cause some trouble for the others!"
The man who received the high-explosive bomb said this and immediately set the timer for the detonation.
"Hey, is this okay?"
"What's wrong with that? All the guys coming are competitors. Giving them some trouble will make it easier for us to claim the 20 billion reward all to ourselves!"
. . . .
"That's how it happened. In order to get the 20 billion reward all to himself, Brother Jiang threw a bomb into the nest of these Gastrea."
"Is your facilitator an idiot? Shouldn't they be focused on finding Hiruko Kagetane and stopping Scorpio from arriving? What the hell is this about wanting to take the 20 billion yen reward all by themselves?"
When Satomi Rentaro heard that the explosion was actually a ploy by someone to delay the others' search for Hiruko Kagetane, he felt his head was about to explode.
"Brother Jiang is all brawn and no brain. He always does whatever comes to mind, and it's hard for me to persuade him."
Senju Natsuyo showed a helpless expression.
In other combinations, the facilitator usually uses their brains while the initiator is responsible for the physical aspects, but the combination of Senju Natsuyo and Ikuma Shōken is the opposite.
Chizu Natsuyo, who possesses dolphin genes and has a sharp mind, is responsible for using her brain, while Ikuma Shōken, who is physically strong but simple-minded, is responsible for the combat.
However, the initiators are often treated as tools, which results in Senju Natsuyo not having absolute say in her own group.
They could only follow the lead of the physically strong but mentally simple-minded Ikuma Shōken, doing some supportive logistical work.
As a result, this absurd situation occurred: Ikuma, without thinking, threw a high-explosive bomb into the Gastrea's nest, blasting up a group of Stage 3 Gastrea who were sleeping soundly inside.
The huge commotion caused by the high-explosive bombs brought great trouble to the search and capture team.
"So how did you get separated from your facilitator and get chased by a bunch of Gastrea?"
Aihara Enju asked curiously.
"The sound of the high-explosive bomb waking up a Stage 4 Hammerdragon. We were attacked by it. I lured Brother Jian away from the Hammerdragon, and I hid, but I was chased by Gastrea that came from behind."
Satomi Rentaro: "..."
After a moment of silence, he asked, "So, the high-explosive bombs you dropped also got you killed?"
Chishou Natsume blushed slightly and lowered her head to apologize, "I'm sorry."
Rentaro Satomi has a very big head.
It's outrageous that the police officer's ranking is still 1584, given that such an idiot was a promoter of that person.
"This is not your fault; blame your disobedient promoter."
Broly comforted Senju Natsume.
"Um?"
Beside her, Aihara Enju frowned slightly, sensing that something was wrong with the boy.
It seemed he was being a little too attentive to the girl in front of him.
"By the way, would you like to be my... um, friend?"
Broly meant to say his wife.
But in this world, he has already been rejected six times.
So he decided to start by being friends with the girl in front of him.
"Hey, are you asking me?"
Broly nodded quickly, looking nervously at the girl in front of him.
"You're strange; you're actually willing to be friends with me, the child of the curse."
Chizu Natsuyo looked at him with a strange expression.
"You didn't choose to be the child of the curse. It's your mother's fault. She shouldn't have contracted gastritis while pregnant."
And it was because she was pregnant with you that she didn't turn into a Gastrea. So, you are the child of the curse, but you did nothing wrong.
On the contrary, you saved your own mother at birth, so you are the real hero, and I just want to be friends with heroes, um, the very close kind of friends.
Broly said seriously.
These words stunned everyone present.
"Broly, who told you that?"
Rentaro Satomi asked out of curiosity.
"It was Dr. Sumire Muroto; that's what she told me."
Broly answered honestly.
"What kind of friend is a very close friend? Is it like our relationship?"
Aihara Enju's focus was on the other side; she looked at the Saiyan boy and asked him a question with some nervousness.
"No, I mean a closer friend, the kind who could become my wife in the future."
Broly told the truth again.
"Huh?!"
Senju Natsuyo opened his mouth wide.
The boy she met for the first time said he wanted to be her wife.
This was somewhat unbelievable to the girl with an IQ of 210.
"Ah, this..."
Aihara Enju's face flushed red instantly. She wanted to say something, but found herself unable to say anything.
Ever since he met Broly, the boy has never hidden his desire to find a wife.
However, none of the women Broly encountered, those who could be recognized by the Crystal Palace, agreed to become his wives.
And she herself was among those who refused.
"Excuse me, are you kidding me?"
At this moment, Senju Natsuyo asked the question.
"Of course not, I'm very serious, I'm not joking with you."
Broly answered the girl with a stern face.
Enju Aihara stomped her feet beside her.
The holmium shoes made a clicking sound as they hit the ground.
"Are you willing?"
Broly glanced at his twin-tailed friend, Enju Aihara, with a puzzled look before turning his attention back to the blonde girl with braids on both sides in front of him and asking her question again.
Hearing the boy ask again, Aihara Enju stopped stomping her feet, held her breath and looked over, somewhat nervous about the answer Chizu Natsuyo was about to give.
Rentaro Satomi pinched the bridge of his nose. He was very familiar with Enju Aihara's reaction. Calling it jealousy might not be quite right, but describing it as food possessiveness was definitely accurate.
Unbeknownst to her, the Saiyan boy who moved into her home had risen to a point in Enju's heart that she worried about him being taken away by someone else.
However, Rentaro Satomi could understand. If he were Enju Aihara, he would also be moved by the boy's many actions and cherish him deeply, worrying that the boy would be taken away by someone else.
The girl is currently in a state where she wants to protect her food, but finds that the food cannot be considered her property.
She stamped her feet anxiously and held her breath nervously until Chizu Natsuyo finally exhaled her breath after saying "I'm sorry."
"If we're just ordinary friends, I'd be very happy to be, but if it's the kind of friend that will become your wife in the future, then forget it."
Chizu Natsuyo rejected Broly, but her happiness level on the Crystal Palace panel continued to rise.
Being proposed to was quite sudden, but Chizu Natsuyo was still very happy because someone in this world was willing to accept her.
However, Chizu Natsuyo, who possesses the dolphin gene, is too intelligent; her clever mind allows her to see into the distant future.
Her status as an Initiator means she's constantly in a situation where she could die at any moment, or turn into a Gastrea.
Rather than worrying about the harm her death would cause the boy after she had developed a deep bond with him, Chizu Natsuyo preferred to never harbor any illusions or expectations about a beautiful future that was impossible from the very beginning.
As the saying goes,
Without expectations, there will be no disappointment.
No one will be hurt if it doesn't start.
"is that so……"
Broly hung his head in dejection. This was the seventh person he could potentially pursue in this world, but she still rejected him.
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
"Broly, don't be sad..."
Lan Yuan Enju patted the boy's shoulder to comfort him, but for some reason, she felt very happy at that moment.
On the Crystal Palace panel, her happiness score, which reflected her true mood, rose by 2 points to 31.
"I...I'm fine."
After noticing the change in Aihara Enju's happiness level, Broly suddenly lost his motivation.
The person he was trying to win over in this world, Sumire Muroto, seemed to have left him with a glimmer of hope, but it felt more like she was just making empty promises to get him to do her work.
The others refused decisively without leaving any room for negotiation, and even the only friend Aihara Enju, who had made him, was now being hypocritical.
He had treated her with such sincerity, helping her reverse the stereotype of being a cursed child at school, and she had even encouraged him to find a wife. But now, seeing her reject him again, he was putting on a comforting act while secretly overjoyed.
This hurt Broly more than the hurt caused by Chizuki Natsuyo's direct rejection. To describe Broly's feelings at this moment with a line of poetry, it would be: "I offered my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the gutter."
Broly considered Aihara Enju a friend, but now he felt that Aihara Enju didn't consider him a friend, which disappointed the Saiyan boy, but he didn't say anything.
"Broly, now is not the time to be discouraged. In just over an hour, Scorpio will arrive. We need to find Hiruko Kagetane, retrieve the Seven Star Relics, and prevent the mass extinction event before then!"
Rentaro Satomi walked over and patted Broly on the shoulder, still hoping that the Saiyan boy could cheer up.
For the teenager, the sweet nothings between boys and girls were trivial; preventing Scorpio from reaching Tokyo Bay was the real issue.
However, Broly's view is just that—a thought. The upcoming Scorpio is not a big deal for him; finding a wife is the real issue.
"Let Scorpios come if they want to; it's just a matter of an energy blast anyway."
Broly was no longer in the mood to play along with this act of pretending not to see Hiruko and her father; he wasn't really interested in either side that was currently at odds with him.
After all, none of the members in this camp have wives who would agree to join Crystal Palace.
Since neither of them has a wife, they might as well just set it up.
People here can do whatever they want.
What does survival or death have to do with a Saiyan from another world?
Well, at most, since he knows someone in the area, he might help throw one or two energy blasts or something after that damn Scorpio swims to this area.
As for whether one or two energy blasts could take down a Stage 5 Gastrea, Broly had no doubt about it.
In his eyes, the Gastrea of this world were merely creatures that provided food. And as creatures that provided food, the Gastrea were not even as strong as the Vampa Spiders on Vampa. He felt that any two Vampa Spiders could easily slaughter the Gastrea of this world.
"Ah, Broly, you can handle Scorpio?"
Rentaro Satomi was a little slow to realize what was happening, but after he did, he widened his eyes and asked the question.
Broly remained silent, raising his hand towards the forest to his side, where a growing commotion was beginning to rise.
As a Gastrea charged out, an energy blast, imbued with his pent-up frustration, was fired from his small palm.
"Boom!"
The Gastrea were reduced to ashes, and the forest behind them was also reduced to dust, revealing a wide forest road that appeared directly in the forest.
Flames burned at the edges, leaving a desolate wasteland in the wake of the energy blast; no living being survived this horrific attack.
The energy blast, which had been hurtling forward, suddenly changed direction and shot into the sky just before reaching a giant monument, disappearing from everyone's sight as a shooting star.
Rentaro Satomi gaped, for facts spoke louder than words; Broly's casual strike had completely exceeded his expectations.
Of course, it also exceeded the expectations of the other two girls present, as well as everyone who happened to witness the scene.
However, compared to Rentaro Satomi and the others who knew the truth, the others only thought that some terrifying Gastrea existed in the forest and launched this horrific attack.
"Broly, you're amazing! That's a super-large magical flash!"
Enju Aihara rushed up and started shaking the Saiyan boy's arm.
"How did you do that?"
Chizu Natsume's mind went blank for a moment, unable to comprehend how the boy could generate waves.
"This is an energy blast, an energy blast condensed from qi."
Broly remained somewhat calm in response to their praise.
The praise from the girl who couldn't become his wife left him unmoved.
He was tired, both mentally and physically.
The frustration accumulated from being rejected so many times in this world erupted all at once because of Aihara Enju's attitude just now.
She didn't show it in any specific way, but she fell silent, completely ignoring the loud and boisterous Aihara Enju beside her.
Broly completely ignored the fact that Chizu Natsuyo wanted to ask but didn't know how to ask.
. . . .
The police's search line was being narrowed, and Hiruko Kagetane's whereabouts were discovered in the warehouse area.
As the fighting intensified, signal flares were fired, and many police officers headed towards the old port warehouse district.
Rentaro Satomi also wanted to go over, but he found that the Saiyan boy behind him had sat down cross-legged on a hillside with a better view of the coastline, and showed no intention of continuing forward.
"Broly, aren't you going over there?"
He couldn't help but turn around and ask.
"So what if it's all in the past? Will Hiruko Kohina agree to be my wife, or will either the Holy Emperor or Tendo Kisara agree to be my wife?"
Broly countered with a question.
Satomi Rentaro: "..."
He finally realized that Broly was a bit upset.
But why is that?
The boy was very confused, because Yeonjoo clearly liked him more and valued him more.
Is this the reason the girl rejected him?
Rentaro Satomi looked at Natsuyo Senju and thought silently.
However, it's better to stay here. The Gastrea that have been attracted by the fighting in the forest behind will eventually need to be dealt with by humans.
Otherwise, if a bunch of Gastrea joined the battle, everyone except Broly's side would probably die.
Having witnessed Broly's energy blast that cleared the forest area within his field of vision, Rentaro Satomi no longer felt the urgency he had before.
Even if Scorpio comes, so what? Can he withstand Broly's terrifying energy blast? Even if he can withstand one, he asked the Saiyan boy, and the Saiyan boy said that the other party could throw out many energy blasts like that at will.
So there's no need to panic at all, because with Broly around, Tokyo is absolutely safe.
. . . .
