Right now, the problem before Broly was how to obtain Happiness Points.
[There are two ways to obtain Happiness Points:
First: when a wife-unit is successfully captured and agrees to become an official member of the Crystal Palace, the happiness value currently attached to her will be converted into Happiness Points at a ratio of 1 to 100.
Second: after a wife becomes a member of the Crystal Palace, continued interaction with her may generate happiness value, but it will only be converted into Happiness Points at a ratio of 1 to 1.
Note: the emotion known as happiness has freshness.
It will gradually become calmer with time, but warmth will always remain.
As long as love still exists, Happiness Points will continue to be produced.]
Broly only half understood what he heard, but he understood one thing clearly.
He had to make his wife happy in order to obtain Happiness Points that could be exchanged for food.
But how exactly do I make a wife happy?
Broly looked at young Sakura beside him.
She had been crying pitifully, but because of his words, she had temporarily stopped and was now staring at him in confusion.
[Based on the pan-information analysis collected from World D95, satisfying the target’s needs can provide the individual known as a wife with the motivation for an increase in happiness value.]
Satisfy?
Broly froze for a moment.
Then the Crystal Palace gave a more intelligent explanation in terms he could understand.
[For example: when the host is hungry, and a wife gives the host food, the feeling of satisfaction the host experiences afterward is the happiness brought by having a need fulfilled.]
Broly understood.
He immediately asked the teary-eyed girl:
“Do you want to eat something?”
“Eh?!”
Young Sakura was stunned by the question.
Why had he suddenly asked whether she wanted food?
“No… I’m not hungry.”
But she still answered honestly.
“Eh?!”
Hearing that, Broly froze and asked the Crystal Palace why his method had not worked.
The Crystal Palace seemed to freeze for a moment as well.
After a while, it finally answered.
[Receiving food when hungry, then feeling happiness after eating—that is the host’s personal condition for happiness.
It does not necessarily apply to others.
Under different circumstances, different people have different personal conditions for having their needs fulfilled and feeling happiness.
Please analyze the target’s needs yourself in order to satisfy them and increase the target’s happiness value.]
What should I do?
Broly pressed.
[Reminder: this Crystal Palace only provides the basic conditions needed to capture wives.
It has no obligation to capture them on the host’s behalf.
According to Article 38 of the System’s Original Code, we shall serve only as an auxiliary golden finger, not replace the host as a high-level proxy player.]
The voice in his mind paused briefly before continuing.
[In other words, please rely on yourself, work hard to satisfy your wives, and obtain Happiness Points through your own efforts.]
Broly: “…”
“How should I satisfy you?”
He looked at young Sakura and threw a direct straight ball, asking her outright.
“Eh?!”
Young Sakura was utterly confused.
What exactly did this tailed big brother want to satisfy?
Her stomach?
But she had eaten plenty tonight and really wasn’t hungry.
“How can I make you feel happy?”
Broly asked again.
This time, he moved closer to Sakura, his questioning eyes staring straight at her from a very close distance.
“I…”
Young Sakura was so flustered under his gaze that she had no idea how to answer.
“Oh, right.
You said you wanted to go home.”
At that moment, Broly suddenly remembered what she had said earlier.
“Tomorrow, I’ll take you home.
How about that?”
Broly asked.
“Eh?!”
Young Sakura let out a startled sound, then hesitantly said,
“But… Father and Mother don’t want me anymore.”
“What does you wanting to go home have to do with your father and mother?”
Broly couldn’t understand.
“But that’s their home…”
Young Sakura said weakly.
“But it’s also your home.”
Broly lay back down again and raised his small fist, showing it to the girl beside him.
“You don’t have to worry.
If your father and mother try to take your home away from you, then I’ll use force to help you take it back.
Then I’ll chase them out.”
Broly’s words were very Saiyan in nature.
This was also one of the Saiyan teachings Paragus had instilled in him: if there was something you wanted, you could seize it by force.
“Ah, this…”
Take the house back and then chase her parents out?
Was that even something a person could do?
No, more importantly—could a home still be called a home after driving her parents out?
Young Sakura’s mind was a mess, but she could feel Broly’s sincerity.
“Thank you.
But if possible, please don’t chase my father and mother out.”
Strangely enough, young Sakura did not doubt whether Broly could actually do it.
She simply made that request.
“If you can be happy, then I won’t chase them away.”
Broly promised seriously.
Young Sakura thanked him again, then gradually fell asleep on the pillow.
Broly also yawned.
The warm futon gave him an entirely new experience, and before long, he fell asleep as well.
Nothing happened overnight.
Only, in her sleep, the girl’s brows furrowed slightly.
It was not until she moved closer to the boy and hugged Broly like a warm body pillow that she finally settled down again.
The next morning, Taiga Fujimura came to check on them.
After gently knocking and sliding open the door, what she saw was the two little ones sleeping while hugging each other.
Beside them was another futon that had never been spread out.
Two tiny little kids sleeping together like that… so cute!
That was Taiga’s first thought when she saw their sleeping forms.
She did not wake them.
Instead, she crouched beside the futon and watched them sleep, gradually beginning to fantasize about her own future.
Simply put, she imagined herself someday marrying some unknown Prince Charming and having two children with him.
A boy and a girl.
Whether they were older brother and younger sister, or older sister and younger brother, being able to admire their sleeping faces like this every day would surely be a very happy thing.
Yes.
Right now, this scene could definitely be used to take a scam photo titled: “Luring an Innocent Young Girl Into Wanting Children.”
[Taiga Fujimura’s happiness value is continuously rising.]
Broly was woken up by the Crystal Palace’s notification.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a smiling girl crouching beside him.
Then he felt something wrapped around his body.
Looking down, he saw a small head resting against his chest.
Young Sakura had turned him into a body pillow, with most of her small body pressed against him.
Fortunately, Broly slept rather well.
Otherwise, a major accident would definitely have happened last night.
[Killing with a girl in my arms… I am fond of killing in dreams…]
Strange information surfaced in Broly’s mind.
He gently pushed the girl sleeping on top of him.
“Mm…”
Young Sakura woke up in a daze.
When she saw a boy’s face right in front of her—
“Ah!”
She cried out in surprise.
Only after sitting up and seeing Taiga Fujimura beside them did she realize that she was no longer in the Matou household.
At that moment, she felt something fluffy rubbing against her calf.
Looking down, she realized it was Broly’s tail.
Broly had also been startled a little by Sakura’s reaction.
Although his face showed no obvious sign of surprise, the movement of his tail revealed his emotions.
He was not as calm as he looked.
He seemed slightly uneasy.
“I’m sorry.
I was pressing down on you.”
Young Sakura quickly apologized.
“It’s fine.
You’re not heavy.
Your body is soft and warm too, kind of like Ba’s tail, though you don’t have fluffy fur.”
“Who’s Ba?”
“Ba is my friend.
I like sleeping on top of it.
Sometimes, it covers me with its body.”
Broly explained.
Young Sakura half understood, while Taiga Fujimura, standing nearby, could only say that she did not understand the encrypted language children used.
“Why are you here?”
Broly looked at Taiga and asked.
“I came to call you two for breakfast.
But you were sleeping so soundly that I didn’t want to disturb you.”
Broly was usually quite alert when he slept.
However, ordinary people in this world were far too weak.
If measured by a power-level scouter, they probably wouldn’t even reach a battle power of five.
To Saiyans, whose battle power was generally in the triple digits or higher, normal humans in this world were practically no different from ants on the roadside.
“Breakfast?!”
Broly was shocked.
“We ate yesterday.
We can eat again today?” he asked.
“Uh… if you don’t eat, what happens when you get hungry?”
Taiga was also surprised.
“If I’m not training, I won’t feel hungry for two or three days.”
Broly answered honestly.
He did not live the normal lifestyle of eating three meals a day.
For him, meals were irregular.
If he got hungry, he hunted.
If he wasn’t hungry, he either received training from his father, Paragus, or played with Baia.
Taiga did not know what to say.
In her understanding, Broly’s answer sounded like the life of a wandering child who never knew when his next meal would come.
“No wonder you ate so much last night.
But don’t worry.
From now on, you’ll have food every day.”
Taiga felt sorry for the boy and gave him that promise.
“?!”
Hearing this, Broly’s affection for Taiga rose sharply.
Unfortunately, he knew very well that he would be returning home in five days. This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
Even if this second wife was willing to provide for him, that support would be forcibly cut off once they separated five days later.
Unless he could take her and her food back home with him—to Planet Vampa.
[Reminder: the host can only take non-living objects that are in direct skin contact with the host.
If you wish to take wives with you, it will only be possible after unlocking the internal space of the Crystal Palace.]
Internal space?
[Current Crystal Palace level: LV1.
Official members: 0/5.
Once five official members are obtained, the Crystal Palace will automatically upgrade to LV2 and unlock the internal space construction function.
The host may spend the corresponding amount of Happiness Points to construct locations and buildings previously experienced.
Current Happiness Points: 0.
Capture Target 1: Matou Sakura.
Happiness Value: 25.
Capture Target 2: Taiga Fujimura.
Happiness Value: 31.]
The Crystal Palace gave him a lot of information.
Broly felt that his brain wasn’t quite enough to process it all.
But he understood one thing clearly.
He had no way to take many things from this world with him.
…
“This rice is so good!
Give me another bowl!”
The plan for the day begins in the morning, and breakfast tasted especially delicious.
Knowing that Taiga would feed him for the next five days, Broly did not stuff himself until he was bursting this time.
Still, he finished five tubs of rice and two pots of side dishes.
Raiga Fujimura’s eyelids twitched as he watched.
Last night, someone had reported to him that the child his granddaughter had brought home could eat an astonishing amount.
But he had not expected it to be this much.
This wasn’t just a glutton.
He was practically a rice barrel in human form.
No one knew what his stomach was made of, to be able to hold so much.
One meal equaled the food intake of more than a dozen people.
Three meals a day.
At this rate, raising this child was equivalent to feeding more than a dozen idle adult men.
Even though Raiga Fujimura was the big boss of Fuyuki’s underworld, he still felt a headache coming on.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford it—it was just that the cost-effectiveness felt rather low.
In his eyes, Broly was merely a child who could eat a lot.
Nothing more.
“I hope this child grows up to have abilities worthy of that appetite.”
Since he had already been brought into the house, they couldn’t exactly throw him out.
Raiga could only hope for that much.
Considering that his granddaughter’s temper resembled his own, she might not find someone she could get along with in the future.
Eh?!
The moment he thought of raising a future husband for her, the old boss of Fuyuki’s underworld suddenly felt much better.
…
“Are you two going out later?”
Taiga asked.
“Yes.
I’m going to take her home.”
Broly pointed at young Sakura and explained their plan.
“She still has a home?”
The moment Taiga asked, she realized she had misspoken.
“That’s not what I meant.”
She quickly explained to Sakura, whose expression had fallen.
“I know.
Big Sister Fujimura didn’t mean anything bad.”
Sakura was a sensible child and understood her explanation.
“I’m planning to use force to take back her home.”
Broly clenched his little fist as he spoke.
“Take it back from whom?”
“From her father and mother.
If her father and mother don’t want her anymore, then I’ll beat them until they do.”
Taiga: “…”
She had read about armed tax collection in history books, but she had never seen anyone use violence to return home.
In a certain sense, she had truly had her horizons broadened by a child.
“I’ll go with you.”
When Broly and Sakura were about to leave, Taiga came over from the dojo carrying her tiger bamboo sword.
Clearly, she intended to accompany them.
Such a violent—cough, such a righteous deed of escorting a girl home—couldn’t possibly be left to a poor child who had lost his father to handle alone.
Naturally, she had to be part of it.
Taiga did not know the full details of the girl named Sakura, but she did know that Sakura had been abandoned by her parents.
And that was a problem.
Taiga planned to go to their doorstep and give those parents, who had discarded such an obedient girl, a proper lecture.
…
At the Tohsaka residence, a man wearing a priest’s robe arrived.
“Kirei, you know why I called you here, don’t you?”
“Yes.
When you sent your familiar, Teacher, you already said it was about your missing younger daughter.”
“Although Sakura has been adopted into the Matou family and has officially severed ties with the Tohsaka family, she is still my daughter in the end.
Now that she has been abducted by an unknown Heroic Spirit, as her biological father, I cannot simply ignore it.”
The man in the red suit spoke in this manner.
He was the current head of the Tohsaka family.
The king of blame in the Nasuverse.
Matou Sakura’s biological father—
Tokiomi Tohsaka.
