Chapter 503 The reason for the vivid memory: the occurrence of the disaster.
"Hey, Broly, when can we finally go on a real adventure?"
In the 40th playthrough, in the spring of Ankylion year 417, under a tree on a high slope in the village of Buena, Alice lay on the boy's lap and asked the question.
"Haven't we already gone on an adventure?"
Broly, who was folding leaves, looked curiously at the red-haired girl who was already 12 years old and looked much older than him, and asked her a question.
"I'm not referring to the experiential adventures you take us on, but the real adventures, like those of a true adventurer, where we accept commissions from the Adventurers' Guild, use our swords to fight dangerous monsters, explore dungeons, defeat powerful enemies, and gain rewards and fame!"
"Sister Alice wants to embark on a genuine adventurer's adventure."
"I can summarize from the side," Hilfi concluded.
"That's right, that's exactly it."
Alice nodded, completely ignoring the back of her head, and was busy rubbing against Little Broly.
"Then it will probably take another 11 playthroughs."
Broly thought for a moment and then said.
"Ugh, why is it taking so long? Couldn't it be shortened a bit?"
"It's possible to go a little earlier, but if you, Alice, go out on adventures before you're an adult, it will make your family worry about you."
"We can keep it from them, just like we did in some previous runs."
"Alice, you don't really believe that your family abandoned you in the previous loops, do you?"
"Hey, isn't that right?"
"Gilead has done a good job taking care of you; he reports on your condition every time he returns to the Boreas family."
"Oh, is that so?"
"Of course not. Do you think your father and grandfather would be so comfortable letting you live alone outside with us?"
"It's okay to go on an adventure, right?"
"Then they'll be worried."
"How about we ask Gilead to keep this a secret?"
"She's more loyal to your grandfather, so she won't keep your secret."
"But you're here. You can prove that it won't be dangerous for me to go out and take risks."
Alice said again.
"If I frequently intervene during the adventure, then it won't be an adventure for you anymore, but just a simple sightseeing experience."
"Woo~"
Alice was an impatient person, but she couldn't refute Broly's words.
She rolled around on Broly's lap several times before lifting her legs and jumping up in place.
"Ugh, this is so annoying, I'm going to practice my sword!"
After saying that, Alice picked up the wooden sword beside her and went to the open space on the other side to start swinging it.
This attitude means being willing to wait for the day when the real adventure begins.
Broly and Silphie, a 10-year-old girl who was already quite grown up, exchanged a glance and continued teaching each other how to play the leaf flute.
On a bright afternoon, Rudius came to the high slope and heard a melodious leaf flute tune.
"Brother Broly, listening to your flute, I have the illusion that I've traveled into the world of Digimon and become a Chosen Child."
"Is there something you need, Rudy?"
Broly put down the leaf, looked at the boy who was walking over, and asked.
"My father would like to invite your family to our house for dinner tonight."
Rudius explained why he had come here to find them.
"Is it for Aisha's birthday?"
"Hilfi asked."
"This is the only thing my father thought he could do for Aisha: celebrate his daughter's birthday."
Judging from Sylphie's reaction, Rudeus was certain that his father must have done something similar in the previous cycle.
"We'll take Aisha with us."
"Noren is also looking forward to seeing Aisha."
Noren is Senis's daughter, a few months older than Aisha.
Because of her brother Rudeus, the girl met her half-sister.
Because they are about the same age, the two little ones get along quite well.
They happily huddled together as soon as they met in the evening.
Senis and Lilia exchanged pleasantries and discussed the challenges of raising children, and their relationship became quite harmonious.
"Brother Broly, please accept my bow!"
Paul Grealat, who had drunk quite a bit, suddenly ran over and knelt down before Broly.
He was very grateful to Broly for taking in Lilia and her daughter, but there were some things he couldn't say openly.
Therefore, he did such absurd things when he was drunk.
Just as he was about to get drunk and make a mistake, and was about to blurt out some of his innermost thoughts, Rudius stepped forward in time.
"Father, you're drunk. Let me help you back to bed."
Rudius walked over.
"No, I'm not drunk, I want to..."
From an angle where his mother couldn't see, the boy landed a precise uppercut on his father's jaw.
Paul's drunken ramblings stopped abruptly as he was knocked unconscious by his own son.
"Brother Broly, could you lend me a hand?"
Broly nodded and helped Rudius carry Paul back to his room.
Then, he said to the boy next to him, "Judging from your father's appearance, I feel like he'll eventually confess to having an affair with Miss Lilia and having Aisha as a child."
"Sigh, let's postpone it for as long as we can."
Rudius could also see the trend of the truth being exposed, and he sighed and said with some helplessness.
"How about next time, we don't tell your father that Aisha is his daughter?"
Broly suggested.
"I don't think it's useful. My father isn't stupid; he should be able to figure it out."
As for my mother, I feel she might have sensed it too.
Lately, her attitude towards my father has become somewhat unfriendly.
"You've really gone to great lengths for this family."
"That's right, that's exactly it."
Rudius sighed; he really didn't want to see his parents arguing.
"However, compared to me, who only has memories of the current cycle and only needs to worry about things in the current cycle, Broly, you are the one who is really worried."
"Even though I have to re-fight for Loki, Alice, and Sylphie every playthrough, she still has the energy to help me with my affairs."
"Replaying the strategy isn't difficult; I can succeed by following the steps step by step, and it won't take me much effort."
"But repeating similar processes must take a lot of patience, right, Brother Broly? Don't you find it boring?"
Rudius said it, and he truly meant it.
No matter how well-made and attractive a visual novel is, after playing it a dozen times and experiencing most of the content, you will feel bored when you continue to play it.
If this is the case with Galgame games that typically last no more than four or five hours, then the situation is even worse for real-life Galgame games.
You know, each time Broly is re-conquered, it takes two or three years. I also know how difficult it is to deal with her willful and capricious cousin Alice, and how troublesome it was for Sylphie to be clingy and cry when she was a child.
But even so, how many times has Broly replayed this route, and how much time has been spent on it...?
Rudius just thought about it and felt that it was not something a normal person could do, at least not something someone like him could do.
"Although it's a bit bland, I don't find it boring, and it's not exactly a repetitive process; there are always some small changes each time."
For example, this time, Luo Qixi was reading "Luo Qixi's Autobiography," learning about the fairy tales written from her own past life since childhood, and meeting me again with the premise of understanding the future development direction.
Even though she hasn't regained her memories from the previous timeline, this timeline feels like someone I've known for a long time...
"Like an old married couple, they have a tacit understanding that resonates with each other."
Rudius took over the conversation.
"Yes, and with our tacit understanding, she personally experienced the autobiographical fairy tale she read as a child, and in reality, I used the reenactment of the fairy tale to win her over once again."
Rudy, you might not know this, but Loki was so happy back then. She hid from me for two days after regaining her memories.
besides……"
Rudyus: "..."
What else could he say? What should have been a tedious and repetitive walkthrough was actually quite interesting; Broly and Loki were really making things interesting for them.
What a self-written strategy guide! The two discussed setting up a new strategy script. Although Loki agreed to become Broly's wife, which was the final happy ending, the process of how to agree to become his wife was full of variations, including romantic, forceful, and touching ones.
"Brother Broly, stop."
Seeing that Broly was about to shower him with dog food (a Chinese slang term for romantic displays of affection), Rudeus, feeling a chill run down his spine, quickly called for a halt.
"What's wrong?"
Broly looked at Rudeus with a puzzled expression. He had just mentioned the scenario of his 33rd playthrough, in which he was a wandering swordsman who befriended Loki, a fellow wandering mage, and the two eventually got married.
"It's nothing. I'm just amazed by your memory, Broly. If I'm not mistaken, this is something that happened at least decades ago, yet you still remember it so clearly."
"You mean this? This has nothing to do with my memory ability. It's just that after each cycle of time, my body is refreshed. Even if I was full a second ago, I will become very hungry the next second. And although my memories continue, they are also refreshed. It feels like it just happened not long ago."
Broly explained why he remembered it so vividly.
"So, even though you've already lived through 40 cycles in this world, spanning over two hundred years, you still remember everything that happened during those two hundred years?"
"No, I've actually forgotten many things that aren't important to me. I only remember things or people that are important to me."
Refreshing is refreshing, forgetting is forgetting. Even if his memory is refreshed, it won't stop Broly from continuing to forget people or things that aren't very important to him.
"Do you miss your wife from another world?"
Rudius asked out of curiosity, and the question silenced Broly.
"Ah, Brother Broly, you don't have to answer if you don't want to."
Rudeus, realizing what was happening, quickly tried to cover it up.
"I miss them, but it's okay. My memories of them have never faded. And after I leave this world, I will be the only one who will remember that I haven't seen them for a long time."
Rudeus stared blankly at Broly, who had just said this. He wanted to ask Broly if he really understood that each additional cycle only added three months to the time spent in the cycle, how many cycles would it take to get from the current year 417 to the year 500 of the Ankylion calendar, and how long would it take? But in the end, he remained silent.
After a while, Rudeus smiled and asked the Saiyan boy, "Brother Broly, would I have the honor of being someone you remember?"
"I've helped you with so many playthroughs already, what do you say?"
In the late summer of Ankylosaurus year 417, the Rudeus family laid out the story of Aisha, and after some twists and turns, Senis gave in.
But it wasn't for Paul's sake, but for Isha's. She didn't want the child to not know who his father was. Of course, this didn't have much of an impact on Isha.
Having multiple fathers or having fewer fathers didn't prevent her from growing up happily in Broly's home.
In early September of the year 417 of the Ankylion calendar, the Broly family received another invitation from Rudeus.
"Today is my birthday, and Brother Broly, your family has helped me so much, please allow me to express my gratitude."
Rudeus took out his own savings (the money he earned working to do Lokishi's magic tests), and knowing that the cycle was about to end, he generously spent all of it to prepare a lavish birthday party.
But the day after Rudeus's birthday, the sky suddenly darkened, and a tremendous magical force appeared in the direction of Roya City.
A terrifying stream of magic descended from the sky, spreading out from the core area of the Fituia territory. Before it reached Buena Village, an even more terrifying beam of energy was blasted towards the incoming stream of magic by Broly, who had noticed the anomaly and come out to investigate.
"What?"
Broly watched as his energy blast vanished into the stream of magic, and the next moment, he was engulfed by the magic.
When Broly came to his senses, he found himself 10,000 meters in the air, and his energy blast seemed to have arrived earlier than him, blasting into the vast ocean below and creating a huge gap in the sea.
Vast amounts of water vapor evaporated and rose into the air, while massive amounts of seawater surged and churned. One could see enormous sea monsters, either alive or dead, being tossed about in this churning sea.
. . . . .
Orstide, who had come to find Broly, stopped in his tracks and saw with his own eyes the distant territory of Fituia being engulfed by a terrifying stream of magic.
"Transferring disaster?!"
Orstide recognized what was happening in the territory of Fetoa and quickly summoned his dragon mount, heading towards the territory.
When they arrived, the core area of the Fitoa territory was already in ruins.
Both the buildings and the population seem to have vanished from this land.
Oh no, wait, there's one more person.
On the outskirts of Roya City, at the very center of the disaster outbreak, a young woman with long, straight black hair, dressed in a modern hospital gown, lay collapsed.
