Chapter 7 Who is more heartbroken?
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
The hairdryer was blowing hot air, and Broly could feel the warm breeze blowing over his head, gradually making his hair fluffy and dry.
"It's a bit perky, looks like I can't blow-dry it too much."
As Fujimura Taiga, who was wrapped in a bath towel, said this, he picked up a bottle of hair conditioner and sprayed it on Broly's head.
The fragrant scent made Broly raise her head and sniff the hair conditioner in her hand.
"This isn't something to eat either."
Fujimura Taiga quickly put the conditioner back, picked up a comb, and had Broly turn his head around to comb the boy's long and fluffy hair.
"Your hair is really nice!"
Broly's hair, after washing, had a silky smooth feel that even made Taiga Fujimura envious.
Let me style your hair.
Soon, a boy with pigtails appeared in the mirror.
"Haha, your hairstyle is so cute, you look like a little girl."
Broly frowned. After Fujimura Taiga's exemplary introduction, he already knew the difference between himself and the girl.
"I'm not a little girl, I have a little brother."
As he argued, he thrust his hips forward, as if to show the evidence to the girl behind him.
"You little brat, aren't you ashamed to throw an elephant like that?!"
Fujimura Taiga spat, his face turning slightly red; the little guy was developing quite well.
No, it should be said that it exceeds what one should be expected of someone his age.
"shame?"
Broly looked puzzled, but before he could turn into a questioning child, Fujimura Taiga quickly untied his twin tails.
"Alright, alright, I'll give you a new hairstyle."
She was somewhat intimidated by the child's questions.
"Is a single ponytail okay? It looks refreshing and neat."
Broly wasn't really sure if the hairstyle was good or bad, but seeing Fujimura Taiga's satisfied expression, he nodded and said, "Yeah."
"Stretch your tail over here, I'll blow on it for you, otherwise it'll get your clothes wet."
Broly was very obedient and did not refuse the girl's instructions, obediently placing his tail in the girl's hand behind him.
The hairdryer started again, and the warm air brought a cool breeze to Broly's tail. Soon, his tail became as fluffy as his hair, and the fuzzy feeling made Fujimura Taiga, who was holding it, unable to resist making a lewd stroking motion.
As Broly's body trembled, she quickly released her hand: "Sorry, I couldn't help myself."
"It's okay."
Broly didn't mind. He had just been petted on the tail, and his body had reacted instinctively because of the strange way the tail was petted.
"Hmm, do you want to masturbate too?"
Seeing the young Sakura, dressed in her clothes, staring at her own tail, Broly thought for a moment and then asked.
"May I?"
Being petted on the tail won't cost you a single hair, so Broly didn't say anything. He simply moved closer and handed his tail to the girl.
Young Sakura held her tail in both hands and touched it carefully, not daring to use too much force. This made Broly feel a little itchy, so he started wagging his tail in the girl's hands.
Did I hurt you?
Young Sakura immediately stopped stroking her tail and asked.
"No, you can just apply a little more pressure; if you apply too little, it will feel a little itchy."
Under Broly's encouraging gaze, young Sakura began to try out the correct way to stroke her tail.
"Is this pressure okay for you?"
"It's still a little itchy."
"How about this?"
"It's a little numb."
After several trials and errors, Broly's tail gradually became familiar with Sakura's little hands and was no longer unfamiliar with her grasping them, gradually entering a state of desensitization and adaptation.
To use a human-like analogy, it's like a cat that was originally wary of people, but now it's able to show its chin to people.
"Hey, stop touching your tail there. Come over and put on some clothes, or you'll catch a cold."
"I'm already dressed," Fujimura Taiga exclaimed, adding that she was also a little envious of the little guy who could pet his tail.
"Do you need me to cut a hole in your pants?"
Taiga Fujimura asked.
"No need. I always wrap my tail around my waist. My father said that this reduces the chance of my tail getting hurt."
Saiyan fighters generally position their tails like this. As for Saiyans who cut off their tails, they are a minority because this is related to the Saiyan's trump card of transforming into a Great Ape.
Although, if it weren't necessary, almost no Saiyan would enjoy turning themselves into an irrational Great Ape.
Broly recounted how his father had taught him to place his tail in this way, but to Fujimura Taiga, it became a different story.
A child with a fluffy tail suffered discrimination and bullying from others. To prevent him from being discriminated against and bullied, his father taught him from a young age to hide his unique tail. Although the father is no longer in this world, his love for his child is reflected in the details.
What a magnificent display of fatherly love!
"It's okay, I'll protect you from now on."
Fujimura Taiga was overcome with maternal instinct and hugged Broly tightly. She was quite well-developed; although she hadn't reached the level of a broad chest she would later have, she was still soft and fleshy, just enough to cover the boy's entire face. Broly was a little confused and had no idea what was happening.
However, smelling the pleasant scent of soap, Broly didn't resist much, letting Fujimura Taiga hug him and inhale the fragrance emanating from him.
Fortunately, Broly didn't eat people and didn't try to bite into the soft flesh covered by the cloth in front of him.
That night, Broly and young Sakura were put to sleep in the guest room by Fujimura Taiga. Originally, Fujimura Taiga wanted to put the two little ones to sleep in his own room, but his grandfather Fujimura Raiga rejected the idea.
"A host should maintain a certain level of decorum. If you get too close to someone, there will be no sense of hierarchy, and it will be difficult to manage people in the future."
"Grandpa, I've already told you, I'm not grooming any trusted confidants!"
No matter how Fujimura Taiga explained, it was useless; Fujimura Raiga remained in charge of the household.
When you're under someone's roof, even your own granddaughter has to bow your head.
"Then, you two should get some rest."
After saying that, Fujimura Taiga left, leaving only Broly and young Sakura in the room.
"What do we do next?"
Young Sakura was a little nervous; after all, she and Broly had only just met.
"Didn't she say we should go to sleep?"
Broly found it strange, so he went to the corner, leaned against the wall, and closed his eyes.
"Are you going to sleep like this?"
"How else can we sleep?"
"Aren't you going to lie in bed with the covers on?"
Young Sakura pointed to the bedding and blankets that Fujimura Taiga had brought to them for their use and asked.
But seeing the look of confusion on Broly's face, she quickly realized that he probably had never slept on a mat on the floor before.
"This is how it's supposed to be used."
Although young Sakura herself had never slept on a floor mat before, she had never seen a pig but had eaten pork. She quickly unrolled the rolled-up bedding, laid out her sleeping mat on the tatami, crawled inside, and peeked out at Broly.
"So this is how you all sleep? My father and I used to sleep leaning against a rock."
"Huh, why?"
"Because there are many dangers on Planet Wampa, some of which come from monsters, and some of which come from the planet's natural environment. Sleeping against a rock makes you more alert than sleeping on a rock. That's what my father told me."
The main reason is that Broly has a bad temper when he wakes up. Paragus was once attacked by his own son after waking him up, so he taught Broly to sleep in a light sleep mode.
"Vampax?"
Young Sakura couldn't quite understand Broly's words, but one thing was certain: Broly had lived in a very dangerous place, perhaps just like she had in the Matou family.
"It's alright, it should be safe here now, you don't need to sleep against the rocks anymore."
Broly thought about it, and realized that this seemed to be the case in this world, with weak lives everywhere. So he went over and crawled into young Sakura's bed.
"Huh?"
Young Sakura looked at the unlaid-out bedding on the other side, then glanced at Broly lying on her own bedding, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Aren't you going to sleep?
Broly lay in the bed his wife had made and asked young Sakura a question.
"I'll sleep here. This is a pillow; you can put your head on it."
Young Sakura didn't say anything in the end, she just pushed the pillow over so that Bro could sleep like a normal person.
The lights were turned off, and young Sakura crawled into the same bed.
The room was quiet, but soon, a sobbing sound could be heard.
"What's wrong?"
Broly turned his head and looked at the girl who had made the sound, and asked.
I miss home.
"Young Sakura said in a low voice."
What is home?
Home is a place where family members live, like the cave where you and your father live.
Crystal Palace provided an explanation, and Broly understood.
"If you miss home, then go home."
He said so.
"But I have no home anymore, my mom and dad don't want me anymore."
Dark and silent environments are most likely to trigger a person's inner vulnerability.
Previously, young Sakura had never cried, but lying in an unfamiliar bed and looking at an unfamiliar room, this depressed mood was brought out and directly broke down the little girl's defenses.
[Host, please note that Sakura Matou's mood remains low, and her happiness level is declining.]
Broly: "..."
He didn't know what to say to the girl next to him.
Please note that a low happiness score will affect the conversion of happiness points when the invited target successfully becomes a member of the Crystal Palace.
Note: Happiness Points can be used to redeem items that the host has previously experienced, including but not limited to daily necessities and food products.
Broly scratched his head. This didn't seem to affect him much. He had already learned how to survive in this strange world, and he could exchange food for doing things for others.
[Reminder: The host is not permanently transported to this world. You will return to your original world in five days. Return countdown: 5 days, 6 hours, 38 minutes, and 33 seconds. Currently at 32, 31...]
Broly: "?!"
[Do I have to go back to Planet Wanpa, back to my "home"?]
Of course, once the spacetime energy is exhausted, we have to go back.
Although he had been in this world for less than half a day, Broly had already fallen deeply in love with it and with the delicious food that was neither bitter nor astringent.
However, this happiness did not last long, as Crystal Palace told him that he would have to go home soon.
Thinking back to the days of eating bitter spider eggs on Planet Wampa, Broly's mood plummeted.
How can I stay?
Unlike young Sakura, Broly had no desire to go home and return to Planet Wampa.
Please provide more spacetime energy.
Crystal Palace provided the answer.
What is spacetime energy, and how can I provide it to you?
Broly asked.
[Spacetime energy is the energy of time and space. After the host returns to their own world, they can accumulate spacetime energy by relying on the passage of their own time. Of course, they can also accelerate the space they have moved through to increase the speed of spacetime energy collection.]
So, does that mean I can't stay in this world?
[If you wish to remain in this alternate dimension, please provide more spacetime energy.]
To collect spacetime energy, you have to go back to your own world to collect it; to stay in this world, you have to provide more spacetime energy. Well, it's a vicious cycle.
Hearing the young Sakura crying beside him, Broly inexplicably followed suit and started crying too.
"Waaaaah..."
Hearing the noise behind her, young Sakura was a little stunned.
Turning around, she found the boy in the same bed also crying.
"No, why are you crying?"
"I cried because I'm going home in a few days."
"Uh, isn't this a good thing?"
"But I don't want to go back. If I go back, I won't be able to eat such delicious food in this world anymore. Where we live, we only have Vampa spiders and Vampa spider eggs to eat."
They tasted so bitter, so astringent, so awful compared to the cake, pudding, fruit, soda, and pork chop rice bowl you gave me.
Broly rattled off a list of food names and then made a summary.
"It's completely incomparable. I don't want to go back. I want to stay here, but I can't stay here, sob sob sob..."
Young Sakura: "..."
She had a home she couldn't go back to, while the other person had a home they didn't want to go back to. This stark contrast made her even more upset.
Young Sakura wanted to cry along with Broly, but after crying for a couple of minutes, she realized that Broly was crying even more miserably, as if his parents had died, so she stopped.
"Please don't cry."
Young Sakura tries to comfort Broly.
"Cake, pudding..."
But Broly cried even harder, feeling incredibly distressed at the thought that the food would be gone from him in a few days.
"No, so what if you run out of good food? Compared to me, at least you still have a home to go back to!"
"Young Sakura said."
"If I had never seen the light, I could endure the darkness, but now that I have seen the light, how can I endure the darkness?"
Broly then used this information that came to mind to ask the girl a question.
Young Sakura: "..."
She deeply sympathized. In her original Tohsaka family, she was carefree and happy, but after being sent to the Matou family as an adopted daughter and thrown into the insect warehouse for modification, her life was so dark and desperate that it was unbearable.
[A reminder to the host: Matou Sakura's mood remains low, and her happiness value is decreasing further. An excessively low happiness value will affect the target's conversion of happiness points into benefits when successfully invited to become a member of the Crystal Palace.]
Note: Happiness Points can be used to redeem items that the host has previously experienced, including but not limited to daily necessities and food products.
【Huh?!】
[After returning to Planet Wanpa, can I still exchange for food from this world?]
【Can. 】
Broly stopped crying.
"Waaah..."
Young Sakura wanted to continue crying.
"Don't cry."
Broly interrupted his spellcasting.
Young Sakura: "???"
