Chapter 27 Twin-Eyed Sisters
"Click~"
Inexpensive wooden boots crunched over the dead branches as two petite figures ran swiftly through the forest, where tree roots were extensive and obstacles were plentiful.
"Sister, I... I can't run anymore!"
The little girl was even younger, and after getting on the slave traders' cart, she only had a little food to barely survive on each day.
After entering the forest, she encountered various dangerous beasts. In the process of trying to escape, her physical strength was severely depleted, and she could no longer run.
"Keep going, Kurohime, don't give up."
Akame encouraged her younger sister, but the roars of the beasts behind them grew ever closer.
"Ah~"
The little girl was exhausted and her steps were unsteady. She tripped over the vines on the ground.
"Black Eyes!"
The girl running ahead immediately stopped.
"Don't worry about me, sister, run!"
Black Eyes lay on the ground, their eyes red from the pain and fear of the fall, yet they still shouted these words to the older girl in front of them.
Upon seeing this, the dangerous wolf species that had been chasing and exhausting them immediately pounced on the fallen girl.
"Don't even think about hurting my sister!"
Akame drew her only weapon, a small knife, and charged towards the wolf-like dangerous creature that was almost the same size as her.
Akame was very agile, dodging the wolf-like dangerous species' bite, and stabbed the beast in the neck with her knife.
Unfortunately, the angle was wrong and the force was too light. It only made a cut on the wolf's neck, and it was quickly thrown away by the wolf's head-shaking motion.
Wounded beasts are dangerous. This dangerous wolf species shifted its hatred, its beastly eyes fixed on the girl who had injured it and was thrown to the ground, dazed and confused. It roared and charged forward, ready to bite the prey that had injured it to death first.
"Don't hurt my sister!"
Just as it was about to bite the red-eyed creature, the black-eyed creature got up from the ground. The little girl seemed to unleash her latent abilities, stabbing the creature in the abdomen with a knife from the side. With the momentum of the charge, the knife sliced open the belly of the dangerous wolf species.
The dangerous wolf species wanted to retaliate, but Akame also got up and rushed over, pressing the dagger still in its neck into its throat.
With a final howl, the wolf, the size of a calf, was dealt with by the twin-eyed sisters.
"Kuro-tomi, are you alright?"
"It's alright, where's your sister?"
"I'm fine too, we survived."
The two girls lay sprawled on the wolf carcass, both feeling as if they had survived a terrible ordeal.
But this feeling didn't last long, as low growls echoed from the surrounding woods.
The final wolf howl drew together the dangerous wolf species that had been hunting scattered prey that had wandered into their territory.
"Black Eyes".
Akame pulled the little girl behind her, pulled the blood-stained knife from the wolf's neck, and aimed it at the three newly appeared dangerous wolf species.
"elder sister……"
Black Eyes gripped the bloodstained knife tightly, leaning against the older girl. They were surrounded by this pack of dangerous wolves.
"I'll hold them off, you just run backwards."
Akame lowered her voice and said.
"I'm not leaving. I want to fight alongside my sister."
Black Eyes shook her head; she didn't want to abandon her sister.
"Idiot, only if you, who are physically weak, run away can I escape."
"elder sister……"
"Don't cry, Mom and Dad are dead, but we must live on."
"Yes, I will..."
Before Kurohime could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a questioning voice.
"Excuse me, is this for me to eat?"
Broly had just transmigrated when he encountered two girls whom the Crystal Palace considered potential romance partners.
[Akame, current happiness level: 0]
[Black Eyes, current happiness level: 0]
Beside them lay the fresh carcass of their prey. Broly exchanged the last of his rice bowls for his father, who was still unsure about his next meal. So, he asked his two wives, whom he had encountered directly after transmigrating.
"Um?"
The boy who suddenly appeared beside them startled the two sisters.
"Where did you come from?"
Akame asked him warily, pulling her younger sister along.
"Me? I just transmigrated here."
Broly confessed honestly.
"Time travel?"
Before the two could even figure out what time travel meant, one of the dangerous wolf species that had surrounded them couldn't hold back any longer and made a move.
"Be careful!"
Akame quickly warned the boy of the danger behind him, but her voice stopped abruptly the next moment.
Because the wolf's bite landed on the boy's head, the blood that splattered was not on the boy, but on the giant wolf that had bitten his head; its sharp teeth were broken off by the recoil.
"Don't make my head all sticky."
Broly disliked the sticky feeling, which reminded him of the Vampa Spider, and kicked the wolf-like dangerous species that was biting his head.
He didn't use much force, but it made the dangerous wolf widen its eyes, arch its back, and pierce its spine from its back, causing a large amount of blood to spurt out.
However, this brutal scene did not deter the other two dangerous wolf species; on the contrary, the blood splattered from their own kind further stimulated their nerves.
The two smaller, dangerous wolf-like creatures turned red in the eyes, and a red glow emanated from their bodies. Like canines suffering from rabies, they charged forward from the left and right.
But with just two loud bangs, Broly smashed their wolf heads, leaving their headless corpses on the ground, thus increasing the Saiyans' food reserves in this world.
"The blood doesn't taste good."
Broly was a little thirsty, so he picked up the headless wolf carcass and drank its bodily fluids from the severed wound. After drinking a couple of sips, he stuck out his red tongue.
However, his palate had become somewhat spoiled by normal food. During his first transmigration, he thought the Marked Bugs tasted delicious, but after drinking the bodily fluids of the first food from the New World during his second transmigration, he found it unpalatable.
"Of course, because that's blood, and it's the blood of a dangerous species."
Akame made a sarcastic remark, but quickly pulled her sister back, because the boy who looked like a wild, untamed little savage was handing the headless wolf carcass in his hand toward them.
"Would you like some drinks? It's on me."
Chitong: "..."
"Why did you bring us something you thought tasted awful?"
Kurohime asked directly.
"Because I don't want to drink blood, and I don't want to waste it."
Broly said honestly.
The twin sisters with double pupils: "..."
There's nothing wrong with this logic.
"Anyway, thank you for saving me and my sister."
Akame sincerely thanked him. If it weren't for this boy who suddenly appeared, she and her sister might have died here, just like the other children who had already been killed by the Dangerous Species.
"You're welcome, it's the right thing to do to help you."
Broly said happily that the Crystal Palace notification was reminding him that the happiness values of his two wives were rising steadily. In just a short while, Akame had reached 12 points, while Kurome, as his younger sister, had reached 9 points.
"My wife's happiness is my happiness."
Broly couldn't help but swallow hard at the thought of the 21 happiness points they could exchange for food after becoming official members of the Crystal Palace.
But as his father Paragus instructed, he had to raise the happiness level of the wives he found to the highest possible level before he could invite them, otherwise he would lose a lot of happiness points.
"Wife?"
Akame looked puzzled.
"It means best friend."
Broly explained.
"I want to be your best friends."
As he spoke, he reached out his hand to the two of them.
"What are you going to do?"
Recalling the scene of the boy smashing a wolf's head with a single punch, both Akame and Kurome subconsciously stepped back again.
"Of course I'll shake your hands. This is a way of making friends (and finding a wife) that one of my best friends taught me."
"Well……"
The twin sisters looked at each other, and sensing that the boy meant no harm, they lowered their guard, extended their little hands, and shook hands with Broly.
"Shake hands, my good friends. From today onwards, you two are my two best friends in the world. Hmm, would you like some meat?"
"Huh?!"
The topic jumped a bit too quickly, but Broly's words weren't surprising; he was always more interested in food.
Moreover, when I used to eat with Taiga Fujimura, her happiness level would also rise rapidly.
That's right, Broly has already used what he considers to be the first method for boosting happiness:
[Inviting my wife to cook with me!]
After her parents died, Akame developed a maturity beyond her years because she needed to take care of her younger sister.
"It's dangerous here, let's go eat somewhere safe."
But this maturity didn't affect her desire to be truly hungry and want to eat.
"Okay, sure."
Broly didn't think there was anything dangerous here, but he didn't argue with his best friend. He simply pulled over some vines, packed up the four wolf carcasses on the ground, and carried them away. This was his and his two best friends' food.
"Help, help me!"
Not far along, Broly and the Twin-Eyed Sisters encountered a patch of man-eating flowers that lured and killed prey. These were dangerous plants that did not move normally, but if prey approached, they would immediately use their huge petals to bite the prey and trap it in the flower buds to turn it into nutrients.
Previously, in the Gifunola Sea Tree Forest, these man-eating flowers survived by preying on insects, flies, and animals, and through photosynthesis. But now, some children who had wandered through the forest have entered their territory. Naturally, these terrifying flowers use their large petals to swallow the children who have strayed into the forest one by one.
The girl now crying for help is a girl whose body is half inside the mouth of a man-eating flower. Her little face is full of terror, but the children passing by do not go to her rescue. Instead, they fearfully walk around this dangerous flower bush.
The officer who had driven them into the forest said that they could only survive if they crossed the forest and reached the clearing in the center.
Therefore, upon entering this perilous forest, most children only had one thought in mind: to get to a safe place.
Akame was the same in this respect, but just as she was about to go around the carnivorous flower bushes, she saw the boy next to her put down the wolf carcass on his back.
"Wait, what are you doing?"
"Wasn't she calling for help? She looked like she really wanted to get out, so I prepared to help her out."
