Chapter 38 respectively
On his ninth day in the Red Leaf tribe, Broly was invited by the tribe's chief to the deep waters to participate in a freshwater pearl harvesting operation.
"We use fermented fish meat balls with a strong fishy smell to attract dangerous fish that go to deep water."
After attracting away the dangerous fish, the tribe's best divers will then take the opportunity to dive into the deep waters.
There are some large freshwater clams at the bottom. You can lure them to open their shells with a whole piece of fresh fish meat. When they open their shells, you can use a twig that has been brought down to pick out the pearls from their mouths.
A pea-sized pearl can be exchanged for six or seven bags of flour. If you can find a pearl larger than a pea and of good quality, you can even exchange it for half a month's worth of food for the tribe, or for some iron utensils.
But be careful not to harm the large oysters, so that they can produce new pearls again in a few years…”
On the small boat, Ridell told Broly about the work of the Red Leaf tribe to supplement their income. They were a pearl-collecting tribe in the mangroves, earning money by diving into dangerous deep waters to collect freshwater pearls from the seabed.
"Broly, you are very strong. If you are willing to join the Red Leaf Clan, I can give you the position of clan chief."
After explaining the money-making schemes of the Red Leaf tribe, Riddell immediately invited Broly over.
These days, he has been quietly observing the boy's situation and knows that Broly has a good personality, values his companions very much, and, more importantly, possesses terrifying strength.
If he were to become the chieftain of the Red Leaf tribe, he would surely be able to disregard the fact that the watery area is separated from the land by a mangrove forest and develop the Red Leaf tribe.
So, after discovering that the boy seemed to be preparing to leave the tribe with some children who did not want to stay, Ridliel had the idea of arranging a meeting with him.
As a member of a not-so-civilized tribe, Chief Ridriel didn't have many ulterior motives and directly extended the invitation with the utmost sincerity.
"Stay here. The Red Leaf Tribe can be a home for you and the other children."
To be honest, Ridliel was very sincere; he was even willing to give up the position of clan chief to an outsider.
But no matter how sincere he was, it was useless, because even if Broly agreed, Crystal Palace would forcibly send him back to his original world after his stay was over.
"I can't stay," Broly shook his head. "Others who no longer have homes can stay if they want, but some who want to go home, I'm prepared to send them back."
Although the children who stayed in the Red Leaf tribe and came out of the great forest with him lived a stable life, there were still some children who did not feel a sense of belonging here. They envied Rivarina for being able to go home and also wanted to return to their real home.
Do you know where they live?
Ridliel asked.
"Some people who want to go home have mentioned the places they used to live, even though I don't know the way."
Broly was telling the truth.
"If you don't know the way, how are you going to get them back?"
"I didn't know the way here either, but I still brought them here."
Broly didn't think it was difficult to take people home; he had done it in the previous world.
"The road to the empire is not easy, but with your strength, you should be fine."
Ridley sighed, knowing he couldn't keep Broly, and gave up.
"Could you help me get some pearls?"
Broly nodded.
In one day, he brought up a larger quantity of pearls from the deep water than anyone else.
"Did you clean out all the freshwater shellfish in this area?"
Seeing the pile of pearls on the small boat, Ridell smiled wryly. The boy was too efficient; he probably wouldn't need to come to this deep water area for another year or two.
That night, back in the Red Leaf tribe, Broly discussed leaving with the other children, and some of them already knew about it.
"I'm sorry, Brother Broly, I'm prepared to stay here."
This is the thought of most children without a home. They have finally found a place to stay and do not want to go back to a life of homelessness.
"I want to go back. I don't believe my parents sold me. It must be a lie told by the slave traders. I want to go back and find out the truth."
This is the thought of a child who wants to go home, while the others who want to go home all have homes, but at their age they don't know the exact location of their homes, only remembering a simple name of the area where they used to live.
"We need a map."
Nahash said he had no home, but he wanted to leave with Broly.
Where can I find a map?
Broly asked, and the children who were willing to leave with him looked at each other, having previously mostly drifted along with the tide.
"I have a map, though it's not very accurate."
Ridliel then walked in from outside, carrying a parchment and a package.
"This is a map that my father, the former chief of the Red Leaf tribe, obtained from a traveling merchant. My father once wanted to take the pearls collected by our tribe to the Empire to sell for a good price."
But we failed. The Empire was very hostile to foreign peoples. Not only did thieves target us, but even some lords and nobles did. We suffered heavy losses, and the map was shelved within our tribe.
It's of little use to our tribe now, but it might be useful to you who want to return to the Empire.
Ridliel handed over the parchment map, which was over ten years old but well-preserved, with the patterns and text still quite clear.
Although Broly couldn't read maps, Nahash could. He was a learned man who seemed to have received a good education, even in etiquette.
"It's a very old thing, it's definitely an imperial map, and Green's house is probably here."
Nahashu found Green's house from above, but only in the general direction on the map. The exact location would have to be determined once they got closer.
"If you're not in a hurry to leave, wait in the tribe for two months. Merchant ships will pass by and can take you back to the Empire. I will help pay for it."
"I don't have that much time."
Broly shook his head, saying that he only had 49 days left to stay in this world.
"However, if you don't need me to take you home, you can stay here."
Broly spoke to the children who wanted to go home, but no one wanted to stay.
After all, the eldest brother's abilities were evident to all. Following him, even in a forest teeming with dangerous creatures, one could walk out as if taking a stroll.
So, it's safer for my older brother to take me home.
"Since you're all leaving anyway, here's a farewell gift I've prepared for you."
Ridlier seemed to have anticipated this situation and immediately put down the package in his hand.
After the package was opened, the pearls inside were revealed.
"Once you get to the Empire, unlike here, there will be many places where you will need money. Our tribe does not have the Empire's currency, but we have pearls that can be exchanged for money. The money you can get from exchanging these pearls will make your journey easier."
Of course, money can also lead to trouble, but Ridley looked at Broly and figured that with this capable kid around, there shouldn't be any problems.
"Thank you, Chief Ridriel."
"No need to thank me. You have helped our tribe a lot. Not to mention helping Rivarina return home, you also brought a mangrove forest. With that adjacent mangrove forest, our Red Leaf tribe will be able to expand into a larger tribe in the future."
In wetland areas, the size of mangrove forests determines the size of the tribes that live there; the larger the mangrove forest, the more sustenance it can provide.
"Hey, what do you need?"
Broly tilted his head.
"Shall I move some more for you?"
Ridliel opened his mouth, but did not say anything in refusal.
"If it's possible, I'd appreciate it if you could."
In half a night, Broly moved a bunch of mangroves from other parts of the Watery District. If Chief Ridli hadn't stopped him halfway through, he might have been able to move all the mangroves in the surrounding area.
"We always need to reserve some for transit points."
The mangrove forest area of their own clan had expanded nearly tenfold, making Chief Ridriel somewhat ashamed. He had only received a map and a bag of pearls, yet he had received so much in return.
The following day, Chief Ridril gave Broly the largest ship of the Redleaf tribe and the child who was going to leave with him.
Of the 73 friends Broly originally had with him, only 14 remain. The other children are on the new border of the Red Leaf tribe. Broly saw them off with tears in his eyes.
Having shared joys and sorrows on their journey, these children with no one to rely on had long since forged a sincere friendship.
It's incredibly sad to have to part ways now, knowing we might never see each other again.
"Nahashu, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said you were from a noble family."
"It's alright, after all, what you said isn't wrong."
"Bonnie, stop picking poisonous mushrooms, you really can't eat them."
"But that was really delicious."
"Bang!"
Cornelia tapped her on the head and said to her companions on the shore, "I'll keep an eye on her."
"Chikushi, we will always remember your barbecue."
"If I have the chance, I'll come back and cook for you again."
"Red eyes, black eyes, stop stealing your brother's meat."
"We didn't steal it; he gave it to us voluntarily."
The twin sisters felt they had been slandered.
……
"Brother Broly, we'll always remember you!"
Finally, everyone shouted.
The words of parting touched Broly, and he seemed to experience a sense of reluctance.
At the same time, she also missed another world, the world of Fujimura Taiga, who had been so kind to her.
"I will try my best to remember you all."
Broly responded to them, using the word "effort" because he couldn't remember everyone's names and faces.
After all, seventy-odd people are too many, and they aren't wives recognized by Crystal Palace.
The boat sailed far away, far from the Red Leaf tribe.
As the sadness of parting subsided, Grimm suddenly asked Nahashu, "Are you really a nobleman?"
"I'm just an illegitimate child. I've been reduced to a slave. That's a useless identity."
This is a simple Q&A between two friends who have changed their mood.
After his mood changed, Broly thought: I can go find a wife somewhere else.
