Chapter 475 The Crystal Palace's Rigid Judgment
"My dearest Luo Qixi, please don't joke with me like this. It would make me very sad if you really forgot me."
Broly tentatively uttered these words, while also putting on a sad expression.
"Honey?"
Luo Qixi's expression was somewhat subtle. This was the first time she had heard a stranger use such an affectionate term for her, a member of the demon race.
But after thinking about it, she still couldn't find any trace of the boy in front of her in her memory, so she said, "I don't know who you are, or where you heard about me. If you are in trouble and need help, then I can help you. But if you are just trying to tease me, then I can only say goodbye."
Broly: "..."
He was now certain that Luo Qixi in this timeline did not have any memories from the previous timeline.
"Sorry, Loki, I actually got lost. My name is Broly, and I'm a freshman preparing to enroll at La Noah Magic University. I heard about you from a friend, so when I saw you, I instinctively came over to ask for help."
Broly quickly offered this explanation.
"friend?"
After thinking for a moment, Luo Qixi actually remembered an acquaintance who had come to Lanoa to accept the guard commission from the Jia Mu Merchant Guild.
Judging from the boy's appearance, he was about the same age as Jia Feng, so she said, "I know, you know Jia Feng, right?"
"Ah, yes."
Broly wasn't actually familiar with that little man, but during his time with Loki last week, he had heard about him from the girl. Now, he pretended to know about Loki through her and agreed.
"Broly, right? I'll take you to the press office."
The Ga.Mu Merchant Guild was very generous with its payments, which made Loki even more enthusiastic.
"Wouldn't this be too much of a bother for you?"
The boy in front of her looked a little reserved, and Luo Qixi quickly waved her hand: "It's alright, I was planning to go over there anyway."
Loki walked ahead carrying the book, with Broly following behind. The girl's demeanor was much more childish than in the previous playthrough.
After being taken to the freshman registration office of Lanoa Magic University, Broly thanked Loki, but the demon girl waved her hand, indicating that she was welcome.
After watching Loki leave, Broly summoned the Crystal Palace from his consciousness and questioned the suddenly unreliable Crystal Palace:
[What's going on, Crystal Palace? Why doesn't Loki have any memories from the previous timeline? Wasn't it agreed that once she became a full member of Crystal Palace, her memories wouldn't be affected by the time rewind?]
The unexpected situation involving the demon girl made Broly feel as if he had been deceived by the Crystal Palace, so his tone became somewhat unfriendly.
To this, Crystal Palace simply gave a curt affirmative answer: "Yes, once you become a full member of Crystal Palace, it's very difficult for the secondary time rules of this world to affect the consciousness of a full member."
Why doesn't Luo Qixi have any memories of the previous timeline?
[Because Loki Migrudia is not currently a full member of Crystal Palace, she is not subject to Crystal Palace rules.]
"How is this possible? Loki married me in the last playthrough and became my wife. How could she not be an official member of the Crystal Palace?"
[Note: This world exists in a special time-space. Crystal Palace's recognition of new members in this world is limited to the current time-space.]
The response from Crystal Palace wasn't very clear, but Broly figured out one thing: Crystal Palace was probably refusing to provide corresponding protection to Loki, a formal member who joined Crystal Palace last week, because the demon girl in this game wasn't yet his wife.
That's how it is.
Broly returned to the hotel and explained the unexpected situation of this cycle to Alster, who had already booked a room.
"Your Crystal Palace is a bit unreliable."
"Alster said."
"It's not that it's unreliable, but rather that it's rigid. Although it can answer my questions fluently in my mind, I can clearly sense that it lacks wisdom."
My Crystal Palace operates rigidly within my consciousness, neither demanding anything of me nor restricting what I can do.
Although Crystal Palace was a bit rigid and something unexpected happened to Loki, Broly was still very grateful to this non-intelligent life form that had been with him for so long.
"So now what do you need me to do? For example, let me commit suicide and extend your stay in this world to 500 years after the Ankylosaurus calendar?"
In the end, all you need to do is make Lokisie Migrudia your wife in the last cycle, and then help me defeat Laplace. Leave the rest to me.
"Once I've dealt with the gods and humans, time in this world won't need to be rewound anymore, and you won't need to worry about Loki Migrdia forgetting you."
Alster said that he felt this would save more time and allow him to reach the ending where he defeats the god-man faster.
"Uh, that's not necessary."
"Um?"
Orstide looked over with some confusion.
"Although my Crystal Palace did not allow Loki to regain the memories of the previous cycle in this cycle, it does have a way to preserve and restore her memories of the previous cycle."
"What method?"
"It's simple, all I have to do is get her to agree to be my wife again in this loop."
"But what's the point of doing this? Next time, won't that girl just go back to forgetting you?"
"No, it makes sense, Alsterd. I may not have explained it clearly to you before, but after I successfully win over a target who is recognized by the Crystal Palace, I can obtain happiness points that can be exchanged for the happiness value possessed by the successfully won-over target."
Happiness points are very important to me. When a player successfully completes a level, 1 point of happiness is converted into happiness points at a ratio of 1:100.
Happiness points are only generated from the happiness of the characters I'm pursuing before they become my wives. Once I successfully pursue one, they only generate happiness points...
"You mean, because your wife's identity was rejected by Crystal Palace, your decision to try and win over Lokishi Migrdia again in this playthrough will actually allow you to gain more happiness points, which you need?"
"Yes, but even without that situation, I would still continue to pursue Luo Qixi. She is my wife, so she can only be my wife."
However, I might take your suggestion and extend my stay beyond the 500th year of the Ankylosaurus calendar. Orstide, you won't mind my plan to drag things out, will you?
"No, I don't mind. As long as the fate of the gods and men is certain, I will wait no matter how long it takes."
According to Broly, he will most likely spend a lot of time trying to win over Loki Migrudia in each subsequent playthrough.
This will cause the time required to stay in each cycle to increase continuously.
However, Alsterd didn't complain. Broly was willing to help him deal with Laplace, so he was willing to help the boy do what was in his best interest.
"Next, I will re-enroll in Lanoa Magic University in this cycle, and I may stay with Sharia for the rest of the time."
"I've already prepared your living expenses, so you don't need to worry about that."
Alsterd decisively pulled out his backpack, which was full of treasure.
"No, what I mean is, while I'm pursuing Loki again, you can also relax and enjoy a life without revenge. At least, until my stay is extended to the 500th year of the Ankylosaurus calendar, you don't need to be obsessed with revenge."
Broly's words startled Alster. He stroked his chin and thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.
"Broly, you're right, I can relax a bit. But the thing I want to relax about most right now is to sleep with you and then beat up this cycle of gods and humans in my dreams. What do you think?"
"Oh, that's a good idea. We're just killing time anyway, why don't we go to sleep now?"
"Go to sleep now. I hope it takes longer to beat that bastard."
. . . . .
"Why the hell?"
In his dream that night, the god in his twentieth cycle was once again brutally beaten by the Saiyans and the Dragon God.
"Since you've asked so sincerely, I'll answer you properly..."
While beating people up, Broly also explained to God why He was being beaten.
After learning the Saiyans' reasons for targeting him, the god felt that he had been a bunch of idiots in previous timelines.
Especially in the cycle where I first encountered Broly, wouldn't it have been better to politely ask Broly, a being with the power to overturn the world's order, to leave the Six Dimensions? Instead, I had to drag him down and lead him to the Dragon God.
Now look what's happened! The other party from another world is refusing to leave. If that were all, it wouldn't be unacceptable. But in other playthroughs, you scheme against them and deliberately prevent them from encountering the person they're looking for. Isn't that even more of a trap for both of you?
However, the god also knew that given his personality, it was almost inevitable that he would scheme against the boy.
"Do I still have a chance to be forgiven?"
As the dream was about to end, the god-human, who had been beaten into a pulp, asked the question.
"You should say that to Alsterd."
Broly has no intention of forgiving the god, even though the god has been with him for longer, but in terms of sincerity, the dragon god is still the one.
"Broly, let's meet again in 4 years and 11 months."
Alster bid him farewell the next day, intending to live a life where he no longer needed to think about revenge.
"By the way, Alsterd, did you take care of any chores for me this playthrough?"
Before parting, Broly thought of this and asked it.
"Well……"
A hint of embarrassment appeared on the Dragon God's face.
"Sorry, I forgot, but I'll take care of it right away. You can just focus on winning over that demon girl in this playthrough and making her your wife again."
Alster has left, and Broly should go back to school.
This time, he didn't intend to buy a house in Charlotte, but instead decided to live in the dormitory at the magic university.
With practiced ease, he found the principal of La Noah Magic University and sponsored some of the academy's research projects.
Broly was admitted to the school without any problems. The principal of Lanoa Magic Academy originally intended to arrange for him to be placed in the best boys' dormitory, Building No. 3, because of his generous spending and the fact that he seemed to be a big spender. However, there was a group of noble students there that Broly did not like.
More importantly, Broly was there to win over Loki again, not to engage in pointless socializing with other unrelated people, so he naturally refused and chose to stay in a luxurious single suite in a boys' dormitory building, close to Loki's girls' dormitory.
. . . .
"Sigh, we're in a tight budget again this month. Maybe I should just skip breakfast for now. I can just bear with it; it'll be noon soon."
Loki stood in front of the academy's cafeteria. Due to the recent intense magic circle classes, her expenses had exceeded her expectations.
"Ah, Senior Luo Qixi, what a coincidence, we meet again."
Just as the demon girl was considering whether to tighten her belt and save money on breakfast, she heard a childish voice from beside her.
Luo Qixi turned her head and saw the boy she had met yesterday, greeting her with a gentle smile.
"It's you, I remember your name is Bu... uh..."
Luo Qixi was a little embarrassed because she couldn't remember the boy's name.
"My name is Broly."
Broly didn't seem to mind and introduced himself again.
"Yes, that's it, that's what I was just about to say, cough cough..."
Luo Qixi coughed twice to ease the awkwardness before asking, "By the way, Broly, what's wrong? Can't you find your classroom?"
"No, I can still find the classroom. I just wanted to thank you for your help yesterday, Senior Luo Qixi. By the way, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? How about we eat together?"
Broly invited her, knowing from the hesitant look on Lokishi's face when she stood at the cafeteria entrance that the demon girl was probably short of money.
"Uh, I don't need it."
Luo Qixi quickly waved her hand in refusal.
"It's my treat, as a way of thanking you for your help yesterday."
Broly knew how to get Loki to accept his good intentions.
Is this really true?
"really."
"I have quite an appetite..."
Are you feeling hungry?
"Don't worry, Senior Luo Qixi, unless you can eat the entire cafeteria's food, I can pay for it for you."
"I'm not that big of a eater. No, I mean, no normal person could possibly eat that much."
Luo Qixi started complaining, and felt that she had gotten closer to the boy she had only met twice yesterday and today, and she was no longer reserved.
Of course, Luo Qixi only ordered two large, filling set meals and ate with the boy at the same table.
During this time, other students would occasionally cast glances over. Compared to the previous cycle when they met in the 409th year of the Ankylion Calendar, Loki, who was only a first-year student at the Magic University, was now in a much worse situation at the academy.
Because of her demonic identity, Luo Qixi always faced discrimination from others.
There were people who ridiculed and mocked her, people who came to find fault with her, and people who rejected and disliked her.
Of course, Luo Qixi herself doesn't care much about how others view her.
