Chapter 441 The Reincarnation Request, the Third Cycle Ends Abruptly
Broly arrived in Kur Town, sold monster materials to earn some initial funds, told Nataya that her brother wanted to kill her, and ignored the bewildered expression on the noble lady's face as she was disguised as a man, and went to the nearby inn to book a room.
"Whether you believe me or not is your business. As for evidence, I don't have any. Why don't you tell me a way to quickly gain your trust? If there's a next time, I'll tell you then. Or next time I might just ignore you and bypass you, letting you accept your original fate of being sold into slavery, Miss Nataya Elliott?"
Broly stood at the doorway, with the handsome young man who had followed him outside. Upon hearing the address of "Miss," Nataya's pupils visibly contracted.
"Alright, Mr. Broly, I thank you for your kind reminder and will keep an eye on things. Well, if you are indeed traveling through a period of time that is repeating itself, I would like you to tell me in each of those repetitions."
As Nataya spoke, she took out her purse and handed it to the boy standing at the doorway.
"What does this mean?"
Broly looked at her with some confusion.
"Since I treated you to a meal, you've come to tell me this three times in a row. I feel I can't let you come a fourth, fifth, or even more times for nothing, so this time I'm giving you my reward in advance."
"Ten King Dragon Gold Coins? Aren't you afraid I'm lying to you?"
"To be deceived by a powerful hunter who hunts S-class magical beasts, I would consider it an honor."
"Okay, if you come again next time, I'll tell you about it again."
Broly nodded and accepted the reincarnation commission.
"But if there's a next time, how can I make you believe me right away?"
He then raised another question.
"If there's a next time, you can sell monster materials to our Elliott Merchant Guild, just like you did this time, then suggest we talk privately, and then tell me:"
When you were five years old, you broke your father's favorite piece of porcelain and hid in the cupboard in your room for one night. Instead of being angry, your father searched for you anxiously all night. When he finally found you, he said in the gentlest of words, "Nataya, more than the porcelain you broke, you are my true treasure."
"Uh, will you believe me now?"
"Of course, that was the first time I felt the love of that man who was always away from home, the man I called my father. And later, when my father learned that I was afraid of him because I was unfamiliar with him, he offered to take me with him on his trading trips..."
A look of nostalgia appeared on the handsome young man's face.
"Alright, I'm going to sleep now. I've accepted your request. If you come again next time, I'll definitely let you know."
Broly closed the door.
"Miss, do you really believe that person's words, that the young master would actually poison the master and also harm you?"
After Nataya went downstairs, the old man who was with her asked her some questions.
"My brother is a playboy, but he is also someone who is easily manipulated. I am not surprised that others used him to do those kinds of things."
As for believing that person's words, why shouldn't I try to believe someone with at least the strength of a King?
Even if it's not true, my loss is only ten Wanglong gold coins.
"Grandpa Delino, please get ready. We might need to head back to the territory ahead of schedule to investigate some matters."
Meanwhile, Broly fell asleep quickly in bed, but when he woke up the next day, he hadn't even had a dream, let alone been visited by a god.
"Does that mean I have to sleep in a specific place to be visited by gods and humans?"
As Broly was guessing, someone next to him greeted him.
Good morning, Lord Broly.
"Good morning, Nataya."
"Would you do me the honor of having breakfast with me?"
Broly hadn't expected such a good thing, so he agreed.
"You looked very worried earlier, is something bothering you?"
"It's not anything that's bothering me, it's just that I have a friend who I met a while ago, but I haven't been able to run into him since."
"I see. So, during the time before you met him, did you do anything different from the time you met him?"
Nataya asked.
"Because I was in a hurry, I didn't follow the original route."
"That's not surprising. You were able to find me because my merchant group is currently purchasing goods here. But your friend, unless he has something to do where you met him, it's normal that you didn't run into him, Lord Broly."
"How can I run into him again?"
Broly inquired with the noblewoman in front of him.
"If there is a next time, you can repeat all the actions you took when you met him."
Broly nodded, agreeing with what the other person said.
"Well then, Lord Broly, we shall meet again if the opportunity arises."
After finishing breakfast, Nataya paid the bill and then said to the boy.
Where are you going?
Broly looked at the handsome young man carrying luggage and couldn't help but ask.
"I have to rush back to check on my father's safety."
"Um, do you need any help?"
Broly asked the question.
"No need. If what you told me yesterday is true, then this is a private matter for the Elliott family."
A noblewoman disguised as a handsome young man rode lightly on horseback, accompanied by five loyal caravan guards.
Broly stood at the inn's entrance, watching the other man ride away on a chestnut horse.
. . . .
The usually deserted Death Restaurant has a rare guest today.
"Welcome! What would you like to order?"
Randolph, in his skeletal form that could frighten people, tried to be enthusiastic in welcoming the unfamiliar new customer.
"Give me your signature dish, but please clean the glands of the burrowing worms thoroughly. Also, give me two glasses of prawn juice."
"Are you a guest from the Demon Continent?"
"In fact, I am preparing to go to the Demon Continent after I have traveled to the Holy Kingdom of Milis and the Great Forest region."
The sound of stir-frying came from the kitchen, and Randolph stopped chatting.
Not long after, he brought out the dishes.
Just as Randolph was about to introduce his shop's signature dish, Broly interrupted him and said it first.
"Guest, have you eaten my food elsewhere before?"
"No, I've only ever eaten your food here."
"But to my recollection, I don't think I've ever entertained a guest like you before."
Do you believe that time can be reversed?
"I don't know, because I've never seen it."
Randolph did not offer any comment.
"Now that you've met me, my name is Broly. I'm a regular at your restaurant, and we can be considered friends."
"Guest, even if it's my friend eating here, they still need to pay."
Randolph reminded him.
"certainly."
Broly placed the money bag on the table to show that he wasn't trying to get close to her for free.
"As a friend I haven't met yet, Randolph, would you be willing to listen to some of my advice?"
After finishing the not-so-delicious signature set meal from the Demon Continent, Broly asked...
"What suggestion?"
Randolph, who had already accepted the money from the boy, asked out of curiosity.
"Expand the variety of dishes in your restaurant and hire some chefs who can cook other regular dishes to be the head chefs for other dishes."
"Excuse me for being blunt, but this is my restaurant."
"But it's in a state of monthly loss, isn't it?"
There's also a Chagall guy who keeps coming to advise you to close down.
"Join his army and put your talents as the Grim Reaper to use, won't you?"
"Who exactly are you?"
"As I said, my name is Broly. I'm a Saiyan from the future of this world, and I'm good friends with you. It's just that time in this world has been reversed, so you don't know me now."
"Broly, I'll call you that for now, but your words are hard for me to believe."
"That's true too."
The fact that time has been reversed and the time spent in the previous loop is a good thing, but Broly is somewhat troubled by the fact that some friends and acquaintances he met in the previous loop have completely forgotten him.
"But I mean you no harm. I know you enjoy being a chef, and you don't want your family's ancestral restaurant to go out of business due to mismanagement, do you?"
"You're here to help me?"
"Obviously."
Randolph looked into Broly's eyes and saw no deception, only purity and sincerity.
"Okay, so how are you going to help me?"
Randolph cleared away the dishes, refilled the boy's glass with juice, and sat down opposite him to ask what was wrong.
"First, you'll need to spend 8 silver coins per month to hire a chef named Warren Rek. He's the court chef of the Dragon King Kingdom, and his roast chicken and fish are superb. Second, you'll need to go to the Adventurers' Guild and hire some receptionists as waitresses..."
Do you think my restaurant needs waiters?
Randolph looked back at his deserted restaurant and asked.
"It's not necessary now, but when Chef Warren comes to work for you, the restaurant will become very successful, and you'll be extremely busy. Last time I helped out here, we were all a bit overwhelmed!"
"That's something to look forward to. What else?"
"We also need some kitchen helpers, and we need to consider increasing the size of the restaurant and changing the decoration style."
Last time, before I went back to square one, you told me about this: you wanted to make your restaurant more appealing to the average diner.
"This will cost a lot of money."
"If you don't have enough money, I can lend you some."
Broly placed the money bag on the table.
"No need, I have enough money. But one last question, why?"
"Why? Why?"
Why are you helping me?
"You're my friend, do I need a reason to help a friend?"
Broly countered with a question.
"I'm Randolph. Although I don't know you well, I'll be very grateful if this restaurant does well."
"Things will definitely get better. I'm waiting for you to treat me to a meal."
In the third playthrough, Broly reconnects with Randolph, renovates the Death Restaurant, reassembles the cast from the previous playthrough, and quickly achieves the same success as the previous playthrough.
"Cook Warren lied to us; his actual monthly salary wasn't four silver coins."
"But his skills are really good. I think it's worth it to hire such a good chef for eight silver coins."
Thank you, Broly. Without you, my restaurant certainly wouldn't have gotten any better.
"You're welcome. I'll come over for meals from now on, so just cook for me with care."
"Are you about to leave?"
"Yes, I've been here for 5 days now."
"Wait a minute..."
"A berry drink will do."
"Um?"
"Last time you were going to send me your special magical continent seasoning, but I refused, and this time it's the same."
"Okay, thank you."
"By the way, if another guy named Alster comes looking for you this time, wanting to know about me, you can just tell him about my whereabouts."
"Is that someone you know?"
I guess so.
After giving his instructions, Broly left.
"Orstide..."
Randolph murmured the name after he left.
Do you know Broly?
Suddenly, Randolph recalled a terrifying figure he had encountered long ago, who had asked him strange questions.
"I don't know him."
After receiving a negative response, the other party left somewhat disappointed.
"So, the Dragon God I met before was looking for you."
Realizing this, Randolph stood at the shop entrance, looking at the bustling street where the boy was nowhere to be seen.
Suddenly, he believed Broly's words; they had known each other as friends before.
. . . .
In the third playthrough, at the end of January 408 of the Ankylion calendar, Broly, who was no longer wanted by the Holy Kingdom of Milis, easily used the "meeting commission" to take over some cities that the Holy Kingdom of Milis had failed to handle in the previous playthrough, and saw which cities were willing to come and collect the money.
Just as Broly was traveling down the Nicolaus River by boat, inspecting the towns and villages along the river as he headed towards the Blue Dragon Mountains in the northeast of the continent of Milis, the Death God's Restaurant once again welcomed the silver-haired Alster.
This time, Randolph directly told him about Broly's whereabouts. After learning about it, Alsterd immediately found a teleportation array near the capital of the Dragon King Kingdom and teleported himself to an ancient ruin in the Great Forest of the Milis Continent.
Unable to find Broly's name in the territories of the Dwarfs and Miners, Alsterd headed to the Blue Dragon Mountains.
As luck would have it, Broly also arrived here and they happened to run into each other.
In early February of the year 408 of the Ankylion calendar, with more than half of the remaining time (2) still to go, Broly met Alster again at the entrance to the Blue Dragon Mountains.
This time, Alsterd didn't use wide-range attack techniques. Instead, upon seeing Broly, he charged forward without a word, wielding his divine sword, seemingly intending to use the weapon to kill Broly, this apostle of God.
"Can we talk?"
Broly dodged the next strike from the gentleman and asked.
Do you want to beg for mercy?
Orstide thought.
"I have nothing to talk about with the apostles of gods and men."
The next moment, he refused to chat.
From his perspective, with the divine blade in his hand, he had driven his former formidable enemy to the brink of destruction.
"Okay, fine."
Broly was somewhat helpless; this person was simply impossible to communicate with.
After dodging the slash again, Broly aimed his little hand at Alsterd.
In the Dragon God's wide-eyed gaze, the skirmish ended with a simple, unadorned energy blast.
Along with it, the remaining time for the third playthrough was also terminated.
