"Well…" Tien Shinhan's mouth twitched slightly.
He showed a complicated expression that mixed helplessness, amusement, and deep amazement.
Patting Chiaotzu on the shoulder, he gave a bitter smile.
"It's a long story… I'll explain it slowly later."
What had just happened was far too shocking to summarize in a few words.
At that moment, Kami, who had been silently observing everything, slowly floated in front of Broly.
His expression was serious.
There was unprecedented respect in his eyes.
"Broly," Kami said sincerely.
"With the strength you've shown… and your unique nature… you are fully qualified to become the next Guardian of Earth."
"I hope you will consider becoming my successor and inheriting the position of Kami."
Broly pointed upward toward the sky.
Instead of showing excitement, he simply asked the most important question in his mind.
"Are there good things to eat up there?"
Kami froze.
"W-well… no…" he admitted awkwardly.
"In the Lookout, there is only pure flour and clean water."
"As the Guardian of Earth, I normally only drink water to sustain myself."
Broly immediately shook his head like a rattle drum.
"Then I'm not going. Sounds boring."
Kami quickly tried to fix the situation.
"Food isn't a problem! I can ask Mr. Popo to collect delicious foods from all over the world and bring them to the Lookout."
Broly shook his head again.
"Forget it."
"The old man's island is way better."
"There's sea breeze, sunshine, and lots of good food whenever I want."
"Your place in the sky sounds boring."
Kami opened his mouth but couldn't argue.
The relaxed and carefree life Broly described was completely different from the solemn responsibility of being the Guardian of Earth.
Looking at Broly's simple desire for comfort and food, Kami realized he could not persuade him with duty or honor.
"Oh right!"
Broly suddenly remembered something important.
He looked at Kami with unusual seriousness.
"Have you ever heard of the Grand Priest?"
Three large question marks practically appeared above Kami's head.
He was completely confused.
"The Grand Priest?"
Kami repeated the name slowly.
He searched through the long river of his memories but couldn't find anything related to it.
"Is that some kind of deity?" he asked uncertainly.
"I've never heard that name before."
Finally, Kami shook his head honestly.
He truly had no idea.
The expectation on Broly's face immediately faded.
Even the Guardian of Earth didn't know?
Broly clicked his tongue in disappointment.
Looks like the only hope is Shenron.
But that brought up a new problem.
When the Dragon Balls are gathered…
Should I wish for rare foods from across the universe first?
Or ask about that annoying Grand Priest?
Broly rubbed his stomach.
After thinking about it, the strange obsession won.
Yeah…
Better find that guy first.
Food can wait.
"However…" Kami said gently after noticing Broly's disappointment.
"Judging from the title 'Grand Priest,' it sounds like a deity with extremely high status in the divine realm."
"Perhaps… the god of some distant planet?"
"I don't know either," Broly said while scratching his messy hair.
"This name just suddenly appears in my mind."
"I don't even know what he looks like—whether he's old or young, fat or thin."
Kami became even more curious.
"You are asking about this person so persistently…"
"What exactly do you want with him?"
Broly's confusion vanished instantly.
Instead, his face lit up with excitement.
He grinned and answered honestly.
"No special reason."
"My instincts just tell me…"
"I need to find him."
Broly clenched his fist and made a crushing motion.
"Then press him to the ground…"
"And rub him into the dirt for a while."
Kami: "..."
Kami froze.
For a moment he couldn't say anything.
A strange feeling of sympathy for the unknown Grand Priest suddenly rose in his heart.
Whoever this Grand Priest is…
He's probably in serious trouble.
To be targeted by Broly like this…
What terrible karma must he have accumulated?
Trying to ease the awkward atmosphere—and also help Broly—Kami quickly suggested a solution.
"Broly, I know King Yemma in the Other World."
"He is one of the supreme gods who manages life, death, and reincarnation."
"He has a wide network of knowledge."
"Maybe he has heard of the Grand Priest."
"Do you want me to ask him for you?"
That was the most reliable connection Kami could think of.
"Sure, thanks," Broly agreed immediately.
"Having someone investigate is better than wandering around aimlessly."
Kami nodded, but then spoke more seriously.
"However, I must warn you."
"If even King Yemma has never heard of this person…"
"Then it will become very difficult."
"In that case, the only option would be to summon Shenron and ask directly."
Broly blinked.
"What if Shenron doesn't know either?"
Kami: "..."
Cold sweat appeared on Kami's forehead.
At that moment, he realized he truly couldn't keep up with Broly's unpredictable way of thinking.
