Chapter 369 Signing the Marriage Contract, the Red Demon Clan's Murder Mystery Game Project!
"Hey, Eris, how dare you take advantage of me?!"
On the morning of the third day, Broly, who was preparing breakfast with Youyou, suddenly heard a scream coming from the room.
A group of people ran over to check the situation and found Aqua in the room, clutching a blanket, looking angry at the white-haired goddess who seemed a little bewildered.
"No, Aqua-senpai, you insisted on holding me while we slept last night!"
Eris began to argue.
"How could that be? You clearly took advantage of me while I was drunk! Waaah, you've ruined my virginity! I'll never be able to get married now! You have to take responsibility for this..."
"Ah, but Aqua-senpai, didn't you already agree to become your disciple's wife?"
Eris was stunned when Aqua turned the tables on her and asked a question in return.
"Ha, how can you take a child's promise seriously? Some adults even promise to return the New Year's money to the children when they grow up, but how many adults actually do it?"
Aqua said this with a straight face.
"Alright, Aqua-senpai, how do you want me to take responsibility?"
Eris felt there was no way to reason with Aqua, so she could only resign herself to her fate and ask.
"It's simple. You ruined my innocence, so you have to take full responsibility for me. From now on, you're mine."
Aqua immediately spoke up, and also took out the celestial contract, handing it to Eris.
"Oh, are you that serious?"
Eris was somewhat stunned as she looked at the Celestial Contract that was handed to her.
"Ha, did you think I was joking with you?"
Aqua rolled her eyes at the guy and asked.
"Uh, let me take a look first..."
"What are you looking at? Are you trying to take advantage of me and then deny everything? Hurry up and put your fingerprint on the contract, or I'll rip your mat off."
Eris was interrupted as Aqua lunged forward, her hands reaching under the hem of her dress toward the white-haired goddess's chest.
By this time, a number of people who had come to check the situation after hearing the commotion had gathered in the room. With outsiders present, Eris could only tightly protect the false, towering dignity on her chest, her face flushed with shame as she uttered words of submission.
"I'll press it, I'll press my handprint, okay? Aqua-senpai, please stop!"
Aqua then released her.
"Hurry up and press it for me, don't try anything funny, or I'll go to the Church of Eris and spread the word that you're a goddess of cushions!"
Aqua crossed her arms, looked down at the white-haired goddess panting beside her legs, and said...
"Okay, I understand."
Eris placed her finger on the Celestial Contract, and her divine name appeared on it, but the expected light of the contract's establishment did not illuminate.
Aqua snatched the contract from Eris's hand and strode over to the Saiyan boy, whose expression was complicated and who had just heard Aqua's words.
"Broly, Eris has voluntarily signed the marriage contract. Quickly, you put your fingerprint here too, to make the marriage contract official!"
As she said this, Aqua grabbed Broly's hand and pressed his fingers to the other side.
The moment Broly's fingers touched the contract, this marriage contract from the heavens shone brightly and was immediately established.
"Ah, Aqua-senpai, you..."
"Hmph, you've fallen for my trap. Now, you can't marry anyone else who might exist, except my disciple."
The celestial realm doesn't forbid goddesses from falling in love; it's just that most goddesses are rather detached from worldly desires and don't easily fall for mortals.
Once this marriage fidelity contract is signed, it means that Eris can only choose one person from among his own disciples.
Aqua is really worried sick about her disciple, resorting to all sorts of insidious and shameless tricks.
"Senior, you're so despicable!"
Eris's eyes were brimming with tears.
"So, Master Aqua, your promise to become my wife wasn't a lie?"
Broly asked the question.
"Of course it's real, you're my favorite disciple~"
Wearing the dress from last night, Aqua reached out and vigorously ruffled the boy's hair before snuggling up to Eris to comfort him.
"Since things have come to this, you have no other choice. As the saying goes, since life is like this, and you can't fight it, you might as well lie down and enjoy it. Don't worry, as long as you behave yourself, I'll make sure Broly treats you well from now on!"
Aqua, like a scumbag after using someone, made such a promise, and Eris, sobbing, seemed to have no choice but to accept it.
However, Aqua advised Eris not to rush into agreeing to become his wife. After all, the exchange rate between happiness points and happiness stats upon joining the Crystal Palace was 1:100. To maximize benefits and keep Broly in this world longer, they had to take it slow.
And so, in less than three days after Broly returned to this world, Aqua had already brought back a not-so-new wife for him.
Although her methods were utterly despicable, and even Broly felt they were somewhat inappropriate, Aqua disregarded them, uttering phrases like "Those who achieve great things should not concern themselves with trifles" and "Behind every successful man should be a great wife who wholeheartedly supports him."
"Moreover, Eris's happiness level hasn't dropped much, which means she's just shy, not unwilling."
If you ever encounter this type of guy again, you should show your manly spirit, push him down hard, and make it a fait accompli first!
The great wife, the wise goddess Aqua, is waving her marriage contract (a contract of servitude) as she imparts astonishing wisdom to her disciple.
"Broly, don't take Aqua's words seriously. You should at least have some goodwill towards her before you try to do this."
The others added that the prerequisite for Aqua's amazing strategic execution was firstly, goodwill, and secondly, personality. If she encountered the type who would rather die than submit, forcing her with force would only have the opposite effect.
I see~
Princess Alice, with an excited expression, actually started taking notes.
"Your Highness, you don't need to remember this!"
Captain Claire was speechless; her little princess was incredibly cute, and no one could resist her.
. . . .
After breakfast, the group prepared to head to Scarlet Devil Village, including Wiz. She wanted to take the monster materials she had processed the day before and have them made into real objects by the magic item master in Scarlet Devil Village.
"Can I come with you?"
Princess Alice asked, as she was also curious about the hometowns of her good friends Huihui and Youyou.
"Of course, but there's nothing fun to do in our village."
Youyou nodded and added another reminder.
"That's right, those are all tourist traps for out-of-towners."
Huihui chimed in, directly pointing out fraudulent projects typical of the Crimson Demon Village, such as the artificial holy sword with gambling shady dealings, the wishing well with no real wish-granting effect, and the succubus tavern without any succubus ladies.
Claire's lips twitched as she listened, wanting to dissuade her little princess from going to such a treacherous place, but Princess Alice waved her hand, saying, "I'm just going to visit a friend's hometown and relax. I definitely won't be scammed!"
Her confident demeanor left the two guard girls somewhat helpless, but they insisted on going together.
"Eris, come along too."
Aqua dragged the white-haired goddess into the range of the teleportation spell. After Wiz asked everyone if they were ready and received an affirmative answer, the teleportation spell was activated.
The next moment, the figures of nine girls and one boy appeared at the entrance of Red Demon Village.
Compared to before, Hongmo Township has changed a lot.
The wooden gate that used to be at the entrance of the village has been replaced by a stone brick gate, the kind you'd find in a normal city.
However, the gatekeeper remained the same, still the hound of the dark night—Papato.
After meeting Wiz, they became quite familiar with each other, but wisely, she didn't call her "Auntie" anymore.
Upon seeing Huihui and Youyou, he complained about how the two of them rarely came back to their hometown.
"How can we face our hometown if we don't make it big in big cities?!"
Huihui refuted this.
"So, have you guys made it big yet?"
Papato asked curiously.
"Waaah..."
Huihui was speechless; she was completely unable to answer the question about her most stable job being a delivery driver in the city.
"I'm still a pharmacy apprentice, Megumin..."
Youyou's mouth was covered.
"My current professional level is 49, making me a top-tier Explosion Mage!"
Huihui said, highlighting her strengths and avoiding her weaknesses.
"As expected of Megumin!"
Papato praised him, then looked at Broly.
"Long time no see, Broly. I heard from the village chief and Mr. Piaosaburo that you've had many children with Yu-Yu and Hui-Hui outside. How come you still look like a child yourself?"
"Um?"
Broly looked at the gatekeeper with a puzzled expression.
"Huh, no?"
Papato was somewhat surprised.
"Damn it, who started this rumor?"
Huihui immediately grabbed Papato by the collar and started questioning him.
"Ah, it's Miss Wiz."
"Huh, me?"
"Wiz..."
"Oh, I didn't spread such a rumor!"
This book has a brand new chapter.
Let's take a look!
As soon as Wiz's collar was grabbed, Miss Lich quickly waved her hands.
"What did you say to me and Youyou's family when you came here?"
"They didn't say anything, they just occasionally ask about your current living conditions."
"So what was your answer?"
"Uh, I just told them that you guys are living a fulfilling life in Axel. Youyou even started growing some lovely flowers at home, and Huihui, you're always busy working for your own happiness. That's all."
Miss Lich, please confess honestly.
In her view, fulfillment meant being a potion apprentice and a deliveryman for a magic item store.
But from the perspective of the Crimson Demon Clan, fulfillment is equivalent to pregnancy, and cultivating adorable flowers is equivalent to raising children.
When Piao Sanlang learned of this news six months ago, he and his wife were even moved to tears.
"Huihui, this child, has finally taken on the responsibility of being a mother..."
After the Lich Lady left, she made a few remarks.
Xiaomi knew the truth, because she had visited her older sister in Aksel.
But being young and lacking common sense, she thought that the flowers that Youyou took care of at home would actually bloom, bear fruit, and give birth to new babies in the future.
After a conversation with her parents that went on a different wavelength, the news that Youyou and Huihui were pregnant spread throughout the village, and by then it had become that they had already given birth to many children.
"So you don't have children yet!?"
Papato was somewhat disappointed upon learning this.
"The Crimson Devil Village is currently short-staffed. If you have any children in the future, you must bring them back to help!"
As he said this, he opened the village gate and let Broly and the others in.
"Help!"
Upon entering the Crimson Demon Village, before they had even walked three hundred meters, Broly and the others saw two outsiders, clearly not Crimson Demons, running frantically towards the village road, calling for help.
"Roar~"
Chasing after them was a terrifying, monstrous bird with a ferocious appearance.
"It's a gargoyle, Your Highness, be careful!"
The female knight and the magician rushed forward to protect Princess Alice, who was stronger than them.
"Oh, help us!"
Upon seeing the group of people, the two out-of-towners' eyes lit up, as if they had seen a light in the darkness, and they quickly turned around and ran towards them.
However, once they reached them, the two bypassed Broly and the others, instead leaving the gargoyles that had been chasing them to them.
"Hey, you two, are you trying to use us as scapegoats?"
Huihui was somewhat dissatisfied and started yelling at the two people who had run away.
This approach is tantamount to shifting the blame eastward.
The two people who were being yelled at ran away without looking back.
*Smack!*
Before the gargoyle could even roar, Broly slapped it across the face.
The gargoyle, resembling a strange bird, was hit by the fan and its body flew out like a cannonball.
"Boom!"
It was slammed to the ground, creating a deep crater, and then it died instantly.
"Ah, my treasured gargoyle!"
The next moment, an old man with a white beard teleported over.
The other person looked at the dead gargoyle on the ground and cried out in anguish as if a loved one had died.
"Hey, isn't this the principal?"
Yoyo's words made the old headmaster, who was about to shout "compensation is a must," stop. The old headmaster of Red Prison Academy pushed up his reading glasses, and after seeing clearly that it was Yoyo who was speaking and Broly who was doing the work, he stroked his beard.
"Turns out they're on our side. I thought I could extort some money, hmm, cough cough, and get some compensation. But since they're on our side, petrification magic..."
The old headmaster petrified the gargoyle's corpse, which had turned into pieces on the ground, and prepared to take it back to repair it with special glue.
"Wait, Grandpa Headmaster, what's going on? Why is your gargoyle out again?"
Youyou grabbed the old principal, who was about to teleport away instantly, and asked.
"Youyou, don't you know? This is the latest murder mystery game experience project launched in our village!"
The old principal asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Huihui and I haven't been back to the village for a while."
Youyou explained.
"Oh, is that so?"
The old headmaster was getting on in years and a little confused, but he still tried to explain.
It turns out that since the kingdom's army advanced to the vicinity of Crimson Demon Village half a year ago and drove away the surrounding monsters, more and more outsiders have been able to come to Crimson Demon Village.
In order to increase the village's revenue, the Red Demon Clan used their imagination to create many new projects in the village to attract tourists passing through.
This script-based murder mystery game experience is the most successful and profitable new project for the Red Demon Clan.
"Someone is willing to pay the bill to experience the scenario of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress from a gargoyle."
The former headmaster said this.
"Uh, were those two beauties who just ran off?"
Huihui asked, somewhat shocked.
Those two troublemakers who tried to shift the blame weren't exactly good-looking.
"No, he's a hero who saved a damsel in distress."
The old principal denied it, then continued.
"There was just a slight mishap in the plot. Those two couldn't even defeat the weakest gargoyle I had. They ran away as soon as they met, and they were incredibly fast. They ran from the inn in the center of the village to the village gate in such a short time!"
The old principal gestured as if making a universe-like gesture with his fingertips and then said...
"Huff huff..."
Just then, a fat man with a large belly ran over.
"How's it going? Did you record it?"
He stopped beside the old principal, panting heavily, and asked.
"It's all here. We recorded your friend's heroic efforts in facing the gargoyle, but they didn't manage to be the hero. Is that really okay? Would you like to do it again?"
The old headmaster tossed over a magic stone for taking a picture and said...
"I don't want footage of successfully rescuing a damsel in distress; I want a photo of me terrified by a monster, practically wetting myself in fear..."
The fat man let out a loud, cackling laugh, grabbed the photo stone used to commemorate his friend's embarrassing moment, and left.
"Our murder mystery games always fail, but for some reason the guests are very satisfied."
The old principal turned around and said.
Everyone: "..."
