Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 21 The adoption contract signed again

Last night, because Gildre killed some police officers, the police believed that the serial killer had accomplices. Not only was the alarm alert not cancelled, but it was raised to another level, causing many elementary and even middle schools to suspend classes.

It should have been a happy thing for students to know that they didn't have to go to school for the time being, but after hearing the news, Toosaka Rin's face fell a little.

Broly saved her yesterday, but because she met Uncle Kariya later, there were many things she couldn't tell the boy. She had thought that she would ask him about it after going to school today, but the school directly called to notify her that classes were suspended.

Toosaka Rin was a little shocked, but fortunately her mother suggested taking her and her sister to the amusement park, which quickly changed her mood.

In the morning, they rode the carousel, the Ferris wheel, and played bumper cars. At noon, they had ice cream, hamburgers and French fries.

After I got home, the good mood I got from playing in the amusement park still lingered in my heart.

"Mom, let Dad come to the amusement park with us next time, okay?"

In response to her daughter's expectant question, Zenjo Aoi gave a somewhat forced smile.

After a perfunctory "OK", she hid in her room to call her husband.

Not long after Toosaka Tokiomi lay down on the bed to rest, he was woken up by the ringing of the phone. When he answered it, he found it was his wife calling, so he asked Zenjo Aoi whether she had prepared one of their two daughters to be sent to the Matou family.

“No, Shichen, I haven’t done enough ideological work on my daughter yet. It’s just that last night, I ran into Matou Kariya in Fuyuki City…”

"Wait, you came to Fuyuki City last night?"

"Rin came to Fuyuki City without permission, wanting to look for a friend..."

"Why didn't you take a liking to her?"

"I……"

"Okay, I don't mean to blame you, as long as you and your daughter are fine."

Fatigue reduced Tōsaka Tokiomi's ability to control his emotions. Knowing that he had said something out of turn, he quickly regained his elegance and spoke softly to his wife on the other end of the microphone.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Toosaka Tokiomi just wanted to end the call quickly and take a rest.

"I met Matou Kariya, and his health became very bad."

Zenjo Aoi continued.

"What does he have to do with us?"

Toosaka Tokiomi frowned. Hearing his wife mention another man, even an elegant man like him felt a little uncomfortable.

"He was the one who protected Rin last night."

"Then I really have to thank him. If I run into him again in the future, I will try my best to save his life."

"That's not what I meant to say, but he mentioned the magic of the Matou family. He said it was something that eroded life and flesh."

Zenjo Aoi did not hide anything and told her husband everything about what she saw with Matou Kariya last night.

"You continue to work on my daughter's thoughts. I will go to Matou Zouken to inquire about the situation. If the magic of the Matou family is really as bad as you said, then I will not push my daughter into the fire pit."

After Toosaka Tokiomi hung up the phone, he returned to his study, picked up a pen and wrote a letter to Matou Zouken. He summoned a crow familiar and asked it to deliver the letter to Matou's house.

After receiving the letter from Tōsaka Tokiomi, Matou Zouken became furious and walked quickly into the underground insect warehouse with a cane.

In the insect warehouse, Matou Kariya is being bitten by insects. This is his way of maintaining his magic power as a half-baked magician.

“Kariya, do you think that if you tell the Tousaka family about your physical condition, they won’t send your daughter back to the Matou family?”

Matou Zouken spoke directly to the man in the pile of insects.

"What do you mean?"

Matou Kariya, who was enduring the pain of being bitten by insects, just felt a little confused.

"Heh, are you playing dumb? It's okay. I'll tell you, it's useless. The head of the Tousaka family is a rational magician. He has decided to send the children who left the Matou family back to the Matou family!"

He shook the letter in his hand, and without waiting for Matou Kariya to see it clearly, Matou Zouken put the letter away, turned around and left the Worm Warehouse.

"No, Matou Zouken, you bastard, explain it to me clearly...ah!"

The insects increased their force in squeezing his life, and Matou Kariya fell directly to the ground, losing consciousness in the intense pain.

"Tsuruno!"

The old man who left the insect warehouse found his nominal eldest son.

"Father, what do you want?"

Matou Tsuruno showed a look of fear, but still walked forward and followed the instructions.

"Take Shinji and leave the Matou family."

"Eh?"

"Go hide outside. A dangerous guest is coming tonight."

In the letter from Toosaka Tokiomi, the other party agreed to bring his servants to visit the Matou family tonight, and he cannot refuse. Although he thinks Toosaka Tokiomi is unlikely to take action, he still has to be prepared just in case.

On the surface, it was to let Matou Tsuruno, an ordinary person, take his grandson and leave the Matou family for refuge, but in fact, his real body would also quietly follow and temporarily stay away from the Matou family.

"Excuse me, Master Matou."

In the evening, Tōsaka Tokiomi, who had recovered, arrived as promised.

"Of course not. The head of the Tousaka family is visiting us. Our Matou family welcomes you very much..."

The old man stood at the door and responded with a polite fake smile.

"So, regarding the doubts in my letter, I wonder if Master Matou can give me a response?"

Tōsaka Tokiomi also smiled, but the way he held the jeweled cane made it clear that he would take action if the answer did not satisfy him.

"Of course, please follow me."

Matou Zouken didn't seem to notice this, and welcomed Tōsaka Tokiomi and Gilgamesh who appeared behind him into the house.

"It's such an unpleasant magic."

After entering the house, Mr. Jin frowned and made a comment, then went to the wine cabinet of the Matou family, took out a bottle of wine, opened the cap and started drinking.

"This wine is better than the wine in your house, and even better than the wine in your disciples' house."

Matou Zouken looked at Gilgamesh and opened the wine he had stored, which his family could use as a reserve fund. The eyelids of his insect-made body couldn't help but twitch twice.

"Why, do you have any objection to me opening your wine?" "No, how dare I? It is an honor for my wine collection to be praised by the King of Heroes."

"A group of insects can actually talk."

Matou Zouken's body was a little stiff. He didn't expect that his fake body could be exposed so easily.

"For the sake of this wine, I will tolerate the slight dirt here. If you have anything to say, you can talk to my subordinates. But if you dare to let the mad dog hiding underground attack my subordinates, don't blame me for being merciless."

Gilgamesh stayed in the living room drinking, while Matou Zouken took Tōsaka Tokiomi into the insect warehouse.

Here, Toosaka Tokiomi met Matou Kariya. Matou Zouken asked the insects to hold him up and introduce him to the head of the Toosaka family, and the reason why the engraving worms were destroying Matou Kariya's life.

"In the final analysis, it was only because my good-for-nothing son suddenly returned to the family to participate in the Holy Grail War that I had no choice but to use such extreme transformation magic on him, so that he could have the ability to fight against excellent magicians."

"It's a very delicate technique. Although his body and life were severely eroded, the magic circuit activated at the cost of his life also produced a considerable amount of magic power."

Toosaka Tokiomi ignored the densely packed insects in the insect warehouse, and after observing the Crest Bugs activating the magic circuits in Matou Kariya's body, he gave his unstinting praise to this method.

"Master Matou, you are indeed an experienced magician. I am still far behind you in the path of a magician."

"You're overpraising me. These are just some cheap tricks."

"Then how can I know that you won't use the same method on my daughter?"

"What I want is a successor to the magic way, not a tool like him. Naturally, I will not use such cruel transformation methods on your daughter. If Master Tosaka doesn't believe me, we can sign a magic contract as a guarantee."

Perhaps the title of "Head of the Tousaka Family" triggered the key words, and Matou Kariya, who was originally knocked unconscious by the cresting bug, opened his eyes at this time.

"Tousaka Tokiomi, why are you here?"

"You're awake, Kariya. The head of the Tousaka family is here to investigate the magic of the Matou family and discuss sending his daughter to the Matou family again."

“Damn it…”

Matou Kariya was now controlled by the cresting bug, and his consciousness was still not very clear, but he still managed to ask questions with difficulty.

"Seeing me like this, you still want to send your daughter over here?"

"You are asking for trouble. You want to participate in this Holy Grail ceremony as a half-baked magician, and that's why you ended up like this.

But the head of the Matou family has just promised me that he will not use cruel methods to transform my daughter's magic circuits."

Tōsaka Tokiomi paused, then thanked Matou Kariya for helping his wife and daughter last night, and then asked Matou Zouken, "Master Matou, can we sign a new adoption contract now?"

"of course."

Matou Zouken smiled in a somewhat creepy way, and said that he had the contract provided by the Magic Association ready at home.

"Ah, Tousaka Tokiomi, you are not worthy of being a father, Ber..."

Matou Kariya wanted to call on his Servants to attack, but Matou Zouken quickly ordered the Crest Bugs to subdue him.

"You will regret this……"

Before being knocked unconscious by the bugs again, Matou Kariya uttered his last unwilling words.

"I am Rin and Sakura's father. How I arrange for my daughters is the Tousaka family's family affair. Outsiders have no right to interfere."

In response to this, Tōsaka Tokiomi was just a little disdainful, but he still looked at Matou Kariya with some pity. As his wife's childhood sweetheart and also his childhood friend, this man really cared about his two daughters.

If this person could survive, the daughter sent to the Matou family would have someone who truly cared for and took care of her.

He sighed in his heart, but his face remained elegant. He left the Worm Warehouse together with Matou Zouken. Matou Kariya provided the Magician Association's high-level magic contract, and they discussed the details of adopting a daughter again. After making sure that the life of the daughter sent to be the stepson would not be harmed and that the stepson would inherit the Master of Magic, Tōsaka Tokiomi signed his name with magic power.

"I wonder when Sakura can be sent back?"

After signing the magic contract, Matou Zouken asked.

"My wife seems very reluctant to part with her little daughter."

"What does Master Tousaka mean?"

"I might send my eldest daughter over here as my stepson. I wonder if Master Matou would mind?"

"Haha, I don't mind. Whether you send our eldest daughter or our youngest daughter, our Matou family just needs an excellent heir to the magic path."

Of course, Matou Zouken didn't mind. All he wanted was a mother with excellent qualifications. If Toosaka Tokiomi sent his eldest daughter, he would be even happier because he could transform her mature uterus earlier and turn it into a mother to give birth to the Matou family's offspring.

Toosaka Tokiomi left the Matou family, and after confirming the insect magic of the Matou family, he returned home and called his wife to vouch for the Matou family's magic, but he asked his wife to do ideological work on their daughter as soon as possible.

"If possible, I mean let Sakura go. Rin is older after all. If something happens to me, she, who is older, can better stabilize the situation of the Tohsaka family."

"But isn't this too cruel for Sakura?"

"Okay, Aoi, I won't interfere with you on who to let go. As their mother, you will make the decision. As long as you can convince one of them to go to the Matou family and continue to be the stepson who inherits the Matou family's magic, it will be fine."

Tōsaka Tokiomi took a step back on this point, leaving the choice to his wife and hung up the phone.

. . . .

At the Fujimura household, Broly was somewhat relieved that he discovered something very important before being sent back to his own world.

That is to convert the happiness value of your wives into happiness points, which requires inviting them to join the Crystal Palace.

Broly didn't pay any attention to this at first, until he was entrusted with their daughter by Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel at noon, and the Crystal Palace suddenly had its first official member. After questioning the Crystal Palace, he was specifically introduced to the situation of gaining happiness points.

It can be said that if the wife he had never met had not joined the Crystal Palace, he might have returned empty-handed without understanding the Crystal Palace's happiness point acquisition mechanism.

But now, after he made a formal invitation to Fujimura Taiga while taking a bath in the evening and Fujimura Taiga agreed, the happiness points in his account skyrocketed to more than twelve thousand points.

In addition to Fujimura Taiga, who has been converted into happiness points, he has two other wives in this world with high happiness values. Broly gets excited when he thinks that his happiness points will continue to soar after he invites them to join the Crystal Palace tomorrow.

If he hadn't wasted some time testing the exchange function of the Crystal Palace and it was getting too late, he might have gone over to invite the other two.

“I really hope tomorrow will come soon.”

"Why, do you really want to leave your sister?"

"Uh……"

"I'm just kidding, but don't forget your sister when you go back."

"Yes, I won't forget it. Sister Fujimura is the best person to me."

Fujimura Taiga hugged the boy. When she used the subsystem module given to official members by the Crystal Palace to exchange for the spider legs of the Wampa spider, a specialty food of the planet Wampa, she tried to take a bite of the sticky yellow-brown meat and almost vomited her stomach. After that, she listened to Broly talking about his simple (outrageous) hunting life on the planet Wampa, and she felt even more pity for the child.

The night before their separation, Fujimura Taiga wanted to give the child motherly care. Her body was soft and she smelled sweet. Broly quickly fell asleep in the girl's arms, with her patting his back like a child coaxing him.
