Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Culinary Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 385 The Tiantong Agency needs this kind of talent!

Chapter 385 The Tiantong Agency needs this kind of talent!

"Broly, I didn't expect you to have such good taste! You immediately noticed that Rentaro and I look like a married couple!"

The girl with pigtails said very happily.

"So they really were husband and wife."

Broly's anxiety finally subsided; he had thought the girl was someone he could win over.

"We're not husband and wife. Don't listen to Yeon-joo's nonsense. I was just her matchmaker..."

However, Rentaro Satomi's words revived the Saiyan boy's dead heart.

What is a facilitator?

He asked it.

"Hey, you didn't know?"

Rentaro Satomi looked at him with some surprise.

"I don't know. As I said, I've only just arrived in this world and know absolutely nothing about it."

Broly nodded seriously.

"Uh, a Facilitator is someone who partners with an Initiator. They take care of the Initiator's daily life and act as a guardian. When it is necessary to fight Gastrea or other enemies, they will join forces with the Initiator to fight together."

Rentaro Satomi didn't quite believe Broly's words, but he still explained the situation of the facilitator to the boy.

"So, you're actually her father?"

Broly thought for a moment and then asked.

Do I look that old?

Rentaro Satomi almost stumbled and fell.

"I guess you could say I'm like her older brother; Yeonjoo is like family to me."

He stroked the girl's head and said.

"So, Rentaro, you actually want me to call you 'Big Brother'?"

The girl with pigtails asked the question in a slightly coquettish voice.

"Waaah..."

The boy shuddered. Broly noticed the boy's bare arm and immediately got goosebumps. Clearly, the address didn't make the boy feel comfortable; on the contrary, it made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Can I be friends with her with the intention of inviting her to be my wife?"

Broly asked the question.

"Um?!"

Lan Yuan Enju stared at her with wide eyes.

"In principle, I won't stop Yeonju from making friends with whomever she wants, but you might not be able to."

Rentaro Satomi shook his head.

Why?

Broly narrowed his eyes, a hint of malice in his gaze toward the boy.

"Because your background is unknown and you are very dangerous, I cannot let Yeonju be friends with someone of unknown origin and who is dangerous."

Rentaro Satomi said earnestly.

"Uh, I'm a Saiyan from Planet Wampa. I'm not dangerous at all, and I won't kill other creatures unless it's absolutely necessary."

Broly paused for a moment, then quickly introduced himself.

"Wait a moment……"

Rentaro Satomi was about to speak when he was interrupted by Enju Aihara.

"First of all, Rentaro, how can you speak so calmly to a man who wants to steal your fiancée... well, boy?"

The girl with pigtails pointed at the boy's nose and questioned him.

"Because I never considered you my fiancé..."

Before the boy could finish speaking, the girl pressed her hand against his mouth.

"I know you're a breast-obsessed person, and you like women with large breasts like Kisaragi..."

"Hey, you idiot, don't talk nonsense!"

The boy tried to cover the girl's mouth in a panic, but it was no use; the girl easily dodged his hand.

"But I will grow up too. I believe that once I'm older and have a fuller bust, you will definitely fall for my charm."

The girl with twin ponytails said with absolute certainty, then pointed at Broly: "So, you can forget about it, sir. I will never be anyone else's wife!"

Broly: "..."

The heart that had just been revived is now dead again.

"Gurgle..."

Just then, my stomach started growling.

Broly glanced at his stomach instinctively and realized that it wasn't his stomach that was making the noise.

Looking to the side, I saw the red-eyed girl who had been brought along tightening her belt.

"Can I go back now?"

She looked somewhat distressed and asked the question.

"I'll treat you, uh, you guys to something to eat."

Rentaro Satomi said.

Broly did not refuse when someone invited him to dinner.

Led by the boy, they went to a ramen restaurant near the hospital.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, there weren't many customers yet.

"Boss, please give us four servings of tonkotsu ramen."

After asking everyone about their preferences and finding that no one had any particular requests, Rentaro Satomi ordered the same thing for everyone.

"OK."

The noodle shop owner was very enthusiastic, but when he saw the dirty girl's eyes, his expression changed immediately.

"I'm sorry, sir, we do not serve children of the curse."

The shop owner, a middle-aged man, actually picked up the noodles he had put down and put them back up.

"What's wrong with you?"

Lan Yuan Yanzhu stood up and looked at him angrily.

"The cursed child carries the Gastrea virus. Who knows if she will spread the virus to others? If I entertain her, my noodle shop will be out of business."

The ramen shop owner, however, refused to back down.

"But gastrovirus can't be transmitted through the air, not even through saliva..."

Rentaro Satomi pulled Enju Aihara back, explaining that there was nothing that could be done about the discrimination against children of the curse in this world.

"Excuse me, boss, we'll take the ramen to go."

"That's for the best."

The ramen shop owner didn't refuse again and quickly packed the ramen into disposable boxes for them.

"After you finish eating, it's best to burn or bury the box she used."

But as he handed it over, he didn't forget to remind the boy.

Why do people here discriminate against red-eyed people?

After leaving the noodle shop, Broly asked out of curiosity.

"The fact that you can ask this question makes me believe you're not from this world."

A wry smile appeared on the boy's face.

There was a park nearby, so I found a secluded corner to sit down.

While eating ramen, he explained to the boy about the cursed child of this world.

To understand why the children of the curse are discriminated against, we must start with the Gastrea virus.

"At some unknown time, a terrifying virus appeared in this world. After invading the human body, this virus can change the human's genetic material in a short period of time, causing the infected person to become Gastrea-like, that is, to turn into a monster."

Those monsters once destroyed this world, and now it has been reclaimed from the hands of those Gastrea...

The cursed child is born because a pregnant woman accidentally ingested gastroenteritis from the outside world, causing the fetus to be infected with the gastroenteritis.

These children are born with antibodies that inhibit gastritis, but they are still human beings carrying gastritis. Many people do not regard these children as human beings because of their fear and hatred of gastritis.

Many parents choose to abandon their children after giving birth to them...

Discrimination against them and avoiding them is the most common situation in this society.

"So, that's why those two wanted to kill her?"

Broly looked at the red-eyed girl wolfing down her food and felt that the girl's situation was a little more pitiful than his own.

At least, when he was exiled to Wanpa Star, his father came after him.

Thinking this, he pushed his half-eaten ramen over.

"Huh?"

The girl looked over, somewhat puzzled.

"Here, have some. I'm not hungry."

Broly said.

"Thanks."

The red-eyed girl thanked her.

"Yes."

Rentaro Satomi stopped deceiving himself; that was the truth, and denying it wouldn't change anything.

Moreover, the boy had already killed both of the guards.

"If that's not enough, you can have mine too."

Seeing this, Aihara Enju also pushed her ramen over.

"Thank you, but I'd like to take it back for other people to eat, is that alright?"

The girl asked cautiously.

Lan Yuanyanzhu recalled her past life in the outer city.

Sometimes, when he was starving or not eating properly, his gaze would involuntarily drift toward Rentaro Satomi.

"Is instant noodles okay?"

The boy took out his wallet; as a newly recruited police officer, he didn't have much money for living expenses.

Inexpensive bean sprouts are a staple dish in their household.

Seeing that Rentaro Satomi was generous with his money, Broly also wanted to take some food out of his storage space.

Unfortunately, apart from the few bags of candy left over, there was not much food in the Crystal Palace space; it was all left on Wanpa Star.

"Are there any jobs that pay well in your world?"

After giving the candy to the girl, Broly felt he needed some money from this world, so he asked the local boy for some.

"You want to make money?"

"The few packets of candy I gave her were my last possessions."

Broly told the truth that he no longer used his happiness points to redeem food.

"With your appearance, it would probably be difficult for you to earn money on your own outside."

"I know many skills, such as hunting and killing animals, and I'm also good at acting. I can go into the ring and throw matches, and I can act in large-scale murder mystery games..."

Broly listed out all the money-making skills he had.

"If anyone here needs a religion, I can help introduce you to my master's religion—Axis!"

As Aqua's disciple, Broly is qualified to represent his goddess master and open a branch of the Axis Cult in this world, so charging a membership fee is not unreasonable.

"Uh, is that a cult?"

"……,no."

"Were you hesitant in your answer just now?"

"No, absolutely not."

Broly, with a stern face, flatly denied it.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Wait a minute, let me make a phone call first."

Rentaro Satomi looked at the boy and felt that he couldn't leave such a dangerous, possibly alien, person alone. After thinking for a moment, he said...

He took out his phone in front of the boy and dialed a number with the name Tendo Kisara on it.

"Hello, is this Kisara-nee?"

The call was answered quickly.

"What's up? Why are you calling me at this hour?"

Kisara Tendo is at his office, using his connections to investigate the whereabouts of the missing arachnid.

"I've met a really talented person here who wants to make money. I'm wondering if your firm has any hiring plans?"

"Ha, are you crazy? Our firm is so poor we can barely pay salaries, your family is eating bean sprouts every day, and you're still hiring? Don't you and Yeonjoo want to live?"

The roar coming from the other end forced the boy to move his phone away from his hand.

"This person is very capable."

After the roar subsided, the boy finally spoke.

"Impressive? How impressive? More impressive than you and Enju?"

Tendo Kisara asked into the microphone, sounding somewhat annoyed.

"Um."

But the answer from the other end surprised her.

"In the afternoon, Enju and I encountered Hiruko Kagetane. It was with his help that Enju and I were able to evacuate safely."

"Uh, well. If they're experts, that's a different story. Our firm is in dire need of capable people!"

Tendo Kisara changed his tune.

"Should I bring them over later?"

"I'll wait for you at the office. By the way, where did you run into Hiruko Kagetane?"

Rentaro Satomi gave the location before the call ended.

"My company president is willing to hire people, if you don't mind that the salary isn't very high at the beginning."

Broly nodded. He was unfamiliar with this world, so he would find a job to earn some living expenses first. Once he became familiar with the world, if he felt that the job was not suitable, he could consider changing to a better one later.

"Let's take her home first."

Rentaro Satomi bought several boxes of instant noodles from the convenience store, and Broly helped carry them. After taking the girl back to the outer city area of ​​the 39th ward, the sewers were opened, and a red-eyed girl came out to meet them. Only then did Broly leave with Rentaro Satomi and Enju Aihara.

The three went to Tendo's office.

Upon arriving at the destination and going upstairs, I met Tendo Kisara.

This is a beautiful young woman with long, straight black hair, the type of Yamato Nadeshiko.

[Tendo Kisara, happiness level is decreasing]

"This is the expert you were telling me about?"

Upon seeing the three of them, the sword-wielding girl seemed to emanate a heavy black aura.

"Sister Kisara, don't let his childlike appearance fool you, he's actually incredibly strong."

Rentaro Satomi quickly explained that he was also a little afraid of Kisara Tendo when he got angry, which was why he didn't dare to tell the other party on the phone that the expert he brought was a boy who looked only seven or eight years old.

"Satomi, listen to me. Our agency doesn't have the resources to take care of homeless children. You should send him to an orphanage."

Tendo Kisara rubbed his temples, feeling a slight headache.

"Kisara-nee, Rentaro wasn't lying, Broly can easily catch my kick."

"Um?"

"He caught not only Enju's kick, but also Hiruko Kagetane's daughter's twin-sword strikes, all with his bare hands, very easily."

Judging from the boy and girl's confident expressions, their injuries were genuine, and there was a strong smell of iodine and blood.

After thinking for a moment, the girl stood up and walked to the three of them.

"Young talent, you don't mind if I give you a preliminary assessment before starting the job, do you?"

The girl placed her hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist and looked at Broly as she asked.

"Can."

Broly nodded, a hint of pleasure on his face.

Despite being rejected one after another, she also encountered several potential suitors who were accepted by Crystal Palace.

"Well then, excuse me."

Tendogi is known as a swordsmanship genius, and her sword speed is terrifying. However, this is relative to ordinary people. Compared to Broly, her movements are considered slow.

"Can't even react in time?"

Tendo Kisara swung his long sword, but the boy didn't react at all, which disappointed her.

"Uh, if the knife can't even hit me, do I need to react?"

Upon hearing her words, Broly asked in confusion.

"Um?"

Tendoki was even more surprised. She knew she wouldn't hit the boy, but the other party...

"Satomi said that you'll only pass if you can catch a blade barehanded, and catch my sword."

The girl with long, straight black hair corrected the assessment content.

"Then try again."

Broly understood the rules of the test, and after Tendo Kisara drew his sword again, he immediately gripped the blade.

Kisara Tendo tried several times and found that it was the same every time, as if he was cooperating by handing over the knife.

She then no longer doubted the boy's abilities.

"Broly, right? I'm Kisara Tendo, the president of Tendo Agency. Welcome to Tendo Agency."

She reached out her hand.

"Kisara-nee, before that, there's something I need to tell you."

"What is it?"

"This child killed two security guards."

Rentaro Satomi explained what had happened at the abandoned building.

The reason I said this was to remind Kisara Tendo that the boy might be a dangerous problem child.

"I thought you were the one who killed the security guard over there!"

After hearing this, Kisara Tendo was somewhat surprised.

"what?"

Rentaro Satomi looked at the girl with long, straight black hair, puzzled.

"You take good care of Yeonju, so isn't it normal for you to step in and fight back when the cursed child suffers injustice?"

Upon hearing this, Rentaro Satomi was somewhat at a loss for words; he had arrived too late.

"I never expected this kid to be the killer. Good riddance! My Tendo Agency needs just the right talent!"

[Tendo Kisara's happiness stat is rising]

The fact that the boy killed the security guard did not make Tendoki more repulsed; on the contrary, he admired the boy even more.

"Kisara-nee, do you really think that way? Those are two lives."

Rentaro Satomi frowned and asked.

"If those two guards hadn't abused their power and tried to take the cursed girl to a secluded place to kill her, they might not have been killed."

Tendo Kiyoshi detests those who abuse their power.

"If I were in that situation, I'd probably draw my knife and chop those two bastards up too."

Rentaro Satomi looked at this older woman and felt that she was a bit of a stranger.

"By the way, have you eaten yet?"

"I've already eaten."

"Broly, do you have a place to rest?"

The boy shook his head.

*Smack!*

Tendou Kisara's hand patted the boy's shoulder.

"Ugh, my place is already so cramped."

Once he came to his senses, Rentaro Satomi quickly said...

"Squeezing in another one shouldn't be a problem, or do you want to leave the child here and have him share a bed with me at night?"

Satomi Rentaro: "..."

"Oh, right, before you leave, tell me the last direction Hiruko Kagetane escaped to."

"Kisara-nee, should we deal with that guy?"

"It's not about dealing with them, but about leaking their whereabouts to other agencies so they can surround and trap that guy, diverting their attention and reducing their chances of finding the source of the Seven Star Relic infection before us."

The joint commission agreement, where whoever finishes first receives the lion's share of the payment, is crucial for the Tendo Agency, which is not financially well-off.

"Is the person being surrounded in danger?"

Broly asked a question from the side.

"Of course, Hiruko Kagetane killed so many people, the company that lost people must want to kill him."

As Tendo Kisara spoke, he sensed that something was amiss.

"What, do you know where that masked man is?"

Broly quickly shook his head.

"I have no idea."

He's lying through his teeth.
