Chapter 119 The Stepmother's Daughter (Just kidding)
"Oh, how could you put the food back after you've eaten it? That's so unhygienic!"
Upon seeing this, Aqua immediately began to complain.
"???"
Upon hearing this, Broly looked puzzled. The only thing that could make him give up the food in his mouth was his wife, but he didn't expect her to be unwilling.
"Then should I take it back and eat it?"
Since the other party was unwilling, Broly, who also wanted to eat another chicken leg, picked it up again.
"Hey, hey, hey, you've already put it down, so don't pick it up again. I'm the goddess of water, and I can easily purify mere saliva into clean water."
The main problem is that there's only one chicken leg left, and Aqua has already tasted it; the chicken leg was indeed very delicious.
The person who treated us has already paid the bill and left, so we can't just order another dish and put it on their tab...
Eh?
and many more!
That doesn't seem like a bad idea.
"Waiter! Waiter!"
Aqua immediately raised her hand and called over the waiter from the Adventurers' Guild.
"Can I order more food and have it put on the tab of the person who treated us to dinner?"
After the waiter came over, Aqua looked at her with hopeful eyes and asked the question.
"The adventurer has already paid for this meal, and it's not right to put it on the tab unless he says he'll treat you again."
As a waiter in the Adventurers' Guild, I've seen quite a few eccentric adventurers, but I've never seen one like this before. She has the cute appearance of a beautiful young girl, but for some reason, she exudes the air of a greasy, opportunistic middle-aged man.
"Could you possibly make an exception for this?"
Aqua rubbed her hands together and pleaded.
"Guest, no matter how cute you try, it won't work."
The waiter suppressed the urge to complain and maintained a fake smile when dealing with customers.
"Tsk~"
Seeing that there was no way to make an exception, Aqua pouted, glanced at the waitress, and made a sound of dissatisfaction at not getting the better deal.
Waitress: "..."
Even with professional training, she was a little stunned at this moment. This guy in front of her was so annoying. Shouldn't it be no problem to roll up her sleeves and beat him up now?
But remembering that the other party was the high priest, the waitress calmed down and fled as if she were escaping.
"Those guys from the Axis cult are definitely out of their minds..."
Broly seemed to hear the departing waitress muttering these words to herself.
So, is the chicken leg in his hand still edible?
"Broly, you're a good boy. It's not good for good boys to eat too much fried food. Let me finish this chicken leg for you!"
As she said this, Aqua took the chicken leg that had been bitten in Broly's hand, and without making any purification efforts, she stuffed the chicken leg into her mouth and started gnawing on it.
Aqua ate with a greasy face. In the Celestial Realm, it was rare to eat such unhealthy junk food. Even the bag of potato chips in the Rebirth Space was bought by her at a high price in exchange for a certain deceased soul returning to life for a day so that the soul could return to the human world to see its family and make its final arrangements.
"Delicious, delicious."
Broly watched Aqua eat, much like how others used to look at him. Back then, his happiness was probably just like that of his wife, who called herself the goddess of water—his happiness level was soaring.
"Drink some water, don't choke."
"Thank you, Broly, you're such a good boy."
"Eat slowly, I'm done eating, no one's going to take your food."
This scene is somewhat contrary to the natural order, but as long as you look at the rate at which Aqua's happiness level is increasing in the Crystal Palace, you can understand why a Saiyan child who hasn't been satisfied with normal food for a year and a half would be so humble.
Broly was able to make the right choice, knowing the difference between one full meal and several full meals. He started standing beside Aqua, pouring her drinks and occasionally wiping the goddess's mouth with tissues, making sure Aqua was comfortable while eating.
Aqua's happiness level was rising, but she didn't notice that the way the adventurers around her were looking at her was changing.
"Look at that boy, his movements are so practiced, he must have done this kind of thing a lot!"
Some male adventurers whispered these words.
"I thought it was a touching story about an older sister taking care of her younger brother and the two of them depending on each other for survival in this world, but I never expected it to be a story about a stepmother's daughter who is enslaving her stepbrother's daughter from her previous marriage. Tsk tsk..."
The adventurer's gaze shifted.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Why do I suddenly feel like everyone's way of looking at me has changed?"
After finishing the last fry, Aqua noticed the increasingly cold looks from those around her. Feeling confused, she turned to Broly, who was mimicking her former companion who had taken care of her, and asked him.
"I don't know either."
Broly shook his head. He had only vaguely heard some of the adventurers around him muttering things like "scumbag sister" and "poor brother," but it shouldn't be them.
After all, he wasn't anyone's brother, and Aqua wasn't her sister.
Instead, it was his target, the wife acknowledged by Crystal Palace.
"Have you eaten?"
Broly asked Aqua.
"Mmm, I'm full."
Aqua stroked her slightly protruding belly and gave an affirmative answer.
"Then, let me wipe your mouth for you."
Bro used a tissue to dampen it with water and took it to wipe Aqua's mouth.
Aqua didn't see anything wrong with it, and looked up like a little baby, easily accepting Broly's meticulous service.
Broly wiped her mouth clean, but in the process, he gained three points of happiness.
"Pants! (Scumbag)"
Someone spat.
"This is something an older sister should do to a younger brother!"
A female adventurer was taking big gulps of wine when she slammed her glass down on the table with a loud crash.
The commotion startled Aqua. She looked in the direction of the sound and was met with a fierce glare from the female adventurer who seemed to be in a bad mood and had imagined many scenarios.
"Ah, Broly, I have a feeling that we've suddenly become disliked by others."
Aqua was startled by the female adventurer's gaze and instinctively hid behind the boy, but quickly realized something was wrong and straightened up to speak.
Broly looked in the direction of the female adventurer. The female adventurer, who had just glared fiercely at Aqua, immediately looked at him with a kind and pitying gaze.
"Ugh, really?"
Broly tilted his head, looking puzzled.
Such behavior has attracted the attention of many younger female adventurers.
Where can you find such a thoughtful little brother who serves his older sister meals?!
