Chapter 113 The Final Wings Display
Broly and his friends' debut at the workplace was a great success. None of the Oberg members in the castle dared to underestimate Akame and the others who came here to work.
Barbara was finally relieved after confirming that Broly had indeed been recruited by her niece Merad, and not that he had kidnapped her to try and take over the Assassin's Guild.
"May I ask what position you intend to assume here, sir? An elder of our assassin society, or an honorary leader?"
"No, it's my companions who need to take the job; I myself will leave this place in six hours."
Of course, I hope my colleague will be able to have a happy and stable life here after taking up a job. I wonder if this is possible in your area?
After being pulled aside by Barbara for a brief conversation, Broly raised his most pressing question.
"If you're just looking for a peaceful life, I think that's fine. With our strength, Oberg is capable of providing a haven in this chaotic world."
Barbara wasn't surprised that the scary boy said he would leave. The fact that a group of children who used Imperial Arms joined Oberg, even if they joined as maids and butlers instead of assassins, would greatly enhance the defenses of the Assassin's Guild's headquarters castle.
Judging from the terrifying boy's words, the reward offered seemed to be nothing more than providing a stable living environment, so she had no reason to refuse to join this force.
"I don't like being deceived. If I find out you've deceived me, I'll raze this place to the ground."
Broly thought for a moment, then added another warning.
Barbara wanted to call it arrogance, but looking out the window at the still-standing hollow mountainside, she smiled and indicated that there was absolutely no way she would deceive the other party in this way.
"Well then, on behalf of my comrades, I thank you for being willing to accept us and for giving us a job here that allows us to eat our fill and live a happy life. Hmm, here's an extra Imperial Arm, so I'll give it to you."
As Broly said this, he handed the remaining Imperial Arms to Barbara.
"Hey, this compass looks like Shangri-La, doesn't it?"
Barbara recognized the Imperial Arm before her, and it goes without saying how precious an Imperial Arm capable of spatial teleportation would be to a power.
It can be said that as long as Oberg doesn't do anything reckless and directly confront the regular army of the Empire or the Western Kingdom, having this thing will ensure his invincibility.
As long as they have multiple burrows and prepare more teleportation points, the regular army simply cannot wipe them out.
"This is so precious!"
Barbara really wanted it, but she was hesitant.
Is it valuable?
Broly didn't quite understand the value of Shangri-La, since it wouldn't take him long to travel around the planets.
"Then consider this payment for taking care of my companions in the future."
After thinking for a moment, Broly said...
"By the Eye of Death Oberg, we at Oberg have truly received your commission."
Barbara agreed, treating it as a special commission. She signed a commission contract on behalf of Oberg and Broly, thus Akame and the others were successfully inducted into this assassin society's headquarters.
Everyone got their own single room. Broly helped Akame and the others carry their luggage into the room. At noon, everyone was treated to a big meal by Melard in their new place.
As dusk fell, Broly's return was imminent, with only five minutes remaining. He summoned all his companions and, in their presence, questioned the six targets before him, some large and some small.
"Akame, Kurome, Mine, Esdeath, Sheele, Leone, would you be my wings, my wives?"
"Um."
Akame nodded.
"Yes, of course I'm willing."
"Black Eyes said happily."
"At this point, is there even a need to ask this question?"
Mine blushed and asked a question with a touch of pride.
"I was always your property."
This is Esdeath's answer.
"Besides offering myself in return, I have nothing else to repay the willingness to take in a homeless person like me."
Hill bowed in thanks.
"Since I'm taking so much money from you, of course I have to act professionally."
There's not much to say about Leone.
[The Crystal Palace has reached its full membership requirement, upgrading to level 2 and unlocking internal space construction permissions. The current membership count is 10/15...]
Suddenly having six more wives, the one-time conversion of his happiness stat caused Broly's original three-digit happiness points (from the daily output of his other four wives) to directly break through to six digits.
Looking at his 345,600+ Happiness Points, Broly felt that his return to Vampa Star was now secure, and he no longer needed to gnaw on spider legs.
"Hey, what's this?"
"Happiness value 375, converted into 37500 happiness points."
While Broly was overjoyed at gaining a large number of happiness points, Akame and the others were somewhat surprised by the virtual panel that suddenly appeared in front of them after agreeing to become his wife.
"This is the Crystal Palace; you can exchange it for lots of delicious food."
Broly explained.
"But please don't exchange for the Vampa Spider; it tastes awful."
The Crystal Palace's exchange shop has been updated with a bunch of new items, but Broly's main focus is still on food.
"Wait, what the heck is the Imperial Arm [Devil's Essence]? Didn't Esdeath already drink that stuff?"
Mine was somewhat taken aback. Pointing to the Happiness Points Shop redemption page on her Crystal Palace panel, she asked the question.
"What are you talking about?"
Melard said he couldn't understand why Akame and the others started saying strange things after Broly formally invited them to be his wives.
"I tasted the Demon's Essence. The items in the exchange shop are all things I've experienced."
Broly replied succinctly.
"exchange!"
Out of curiosity, Esdeath used 1,000 Happiness Points to exchange for a mouthful of Demon Essence. After drinking the blackish-red blood that suddenly appeared in her hand, she could clearly feel the icy power within her body increase.
"nice one."
Esdeath's eyes lit up, and she immediately went all in on the Devil's Essence. The blood-type Imperial Arm, created by the Crystal Palace, perfectly replicated the situation when Broly drank it, before the Super Dangerous Species' lingering spirit was completely cleared away. After just twenty or so sips, her face was flushed red.
"Ah~"
Esdeath couldn't help but cry out, her gaze towards Broly filled with malice.
Are you alright?
Upon hearing the sound, everyone looked at her and, noticing Esdeath's unusual behavior, couldn't help but ask her what was wrong.
"It's nothing, it's just that the Demon Essence I exchanged seems to be a little different from the Demon Essence I drank."
Esdeath suppressed the lingering resentment of the Super Dangerous Species with her willpower, and only after taking a few deep breaths did she return to normal. After Esdeath's explanation, everyone understood the danger of the Demon Essence that had been exchanged.
This scene stunned Melard, who had thought that becoming Broly's wife was just a matter of title.
As a result, Esdeath even managed to recreate the Demon Essence she had drunk.
"Broly, I want to be your wife too!"
"Well……"
Melard's words put the boy in a difficult position.
"Big brother, is it not allowed?"
The other friends also showed expressions of anticipation.
"Of course, the more wives the better, but Crystal Palace doesn't recognize your wives' status, and there's nothing I can do about it."
Broly was quite helpless. Akame and the others alone had given him more than 300,000 happiness points. If he could also take the other friends as wives, wouldn't his happiness points easily exceed one million?
However, this is just a thought. Crystal Palace didn't give him that authority at all. If someone is a wife, she is a wife. If someone isn't a wife, no matter how much you want to make someone else your wife, she's still not your wife.
Seeing his friends' disappointed looks, Broly also felt a little down. After thinking for a moment, he said loudly, "Everyone, although Crystal Palace doesn't acknowledge your status as wives, I, Broly, do! Whether it's Nahash, Losang, Bonnie, Tsukushi, Cornelia, or Melard and Casandora, you are all my acknowledged external wives!"
Hearing this, some of the children, who were feeling down, were moved and looked at him with teary eyes.
"Brother Broly, could you do that with us?"
Bonnie asked.
"Which one is that?"
Broly was somewhat puzzled.
"That's it, we are all your wings!"
At Bonnie's suggestion, under the setting sun, Broly and his companions, amidst the bewildered and awe-inspiring gazes of the numerous Oberg assassins and the combat maids working in the castle, formed a version of a giant roc spreading its wings and soaring into the sky, a scene that was utterly hilarious.
Seeing that it was almost time, Broly dropped everyone off and, after saying "I'm leaving," disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Big brother!"
The children were crying, and Leone stared wide-eyed, finally understanding the true meaning of death—it meant truly leaving this world.
"Will the young boss ever come back?"
Leone asked the question, and Mine was about to answer yes, but in front of the six official members of Crystal Palace, the Crystal Palace panel sensed their thoughts and gave them the corresponding prompts.

"Huh?!"
