Broly spent nearly three years using Mobile Charging to fill the Crystal Palace’s Space-Time Energy, then left Vampa for the Other World after entrusting Paragus with a meal. He arrived at the Jiffonora Sea Tree Forest, where Akame and Kurome were among children forced into a deadly trial to select future assassins.

• Paragus urged Broly to upgrade Mobile Charging, and Broly spent half his Happiness Points to reduce the required travel distance to one-sixteenth of a light-year.
• Broly flew across Vampa to charge the Crystal Palace, while he and Paragus traded spider eggs and Ba Ya Blood for food and shared their meals.

• Broly rescued seven children, collected flower buds filled with nectar, and recruited the children to carry his belongings.
• Broly led the children into the forest to hunt Danger Beasts, saving more children and turning them into ingredient porters.
• Bill grew anxious when no children returned by dusk, while Goeschi told him to wait; several children eventually emerged from the trees.

Meanwhile, Broly led more than seventy rescued children to safety, where they shared food and began treating him as their protective big brother.

• Bill learned that only six children had escaped and ordered the local Empire officer to punish the logistics officer blamed for embezzling the purchase funds.
• The Empire officer shot the young officer responsible for the botched delivery and killed a girl in the tent, then ordered the dead man's home ransacked.

Broly shared a meal and a night’s shelter in a giant tree with the rescued children, while learning he could remain in this world for more than 62 days. The next morning, he killed an avian Danger Beast that attacked the group, and the children celebrated their breakfast and dependable Big Brother.

• Akame and Kurome tried to give Broly their first bites of grilled meat, so he traded portions with them and ate alongside the sisters.
• Broly sampled Tsukushi’s flower-nectar-marinated meat, then finished the remaining food after the children had eaten their fill.

• Broly hunted fish and a giant crocodile-like Danger Beast to feed the children by the river.

• Goeschi repeatedly charged Broly, then drew his Imperial Arms, Murasame, and tried to kill him after deciding he was an obstacle to the Empire.
• Goeschi slashed Broly’s neck, but Broly remained unharmed and knocked Goeschi unconscious while chasing the giant crocodile; Bill ordered the agents to flee with Goeschi.

• Cornelia asked whether Broly was hurt, and he explained that Goeschi might have been too hungry to hit him hard.
• After sharing the roasted crocodile with Akame, Little Fatty Losang, Cornelia, and Boni, Broly said he would take the children to find happiness and headed after the fleeing agents.

Broly led the children through Jiffonora Sea Tree Forest, clearing a path with an Energy Beam and helping them avoid dangers. At camp, the children discussed their blisters, and a Boy with shoemaking skills made a soft pair of vine-and-fur shoes, prompting the others to plan to make more.

• Tsukushi and other children offered to learn shoe weaving together after the group ate its dinner of roasted long-haired deer, Haisen Great Worms, and fish soup.

• Broly made round, tangled Tumbleweed Shoes and then helped the children scrape bark from vines, glad to take part in their group activity.

• Goeschi decided to train the six children he had brought out instead of pursuing Broly, and invited Bill to drink with him.
• After three days of travel through the Jiffonora Sea Tree Forest, Broly and the children reached the Mangrove Swamp near the Empire’s western border.
• Rivarina recognized the area as near her homeland and pointed out that it lay farther south; after Tsukushi corrected their mistaken direction, Broly led the group south.

Broly and the children traveled through the Mangrove Forest, learned to catch fish, and struggled to make a fire before Broly used Qi to start one. After Broly spotted Rivarina’s tribe from the air, he offered to fly everyone there, though he was unsure whether he could carry them all.

• Rivarina explained the mangrove’s dangers and showed the children how to spear fish while Broly easily caught fish from the water.
• The children could not start a fire with wet branches, so Broly carefully used Qi to ignite one and then roasted their fish.
• Broly chewed poisonous redwood branches, which left his mouth bitter and made him regret eating them.
• At dusk, Rivarina could not find her tribe’s markers, so Nahash asked Broly to fly up and search for signs of people.

• Broly offered to fly the group to the tribe, but he was unsure whether he could carry everyone that far.

• Rideriel arranged for the children to stay in the tribe, and Riparip punched a tribesman who said Rivarina had been dead.

Broly and the rescued children stayed with the Red Leaf Tribe, where the children gradually befriended the tribe’s children through fishing, fights, and games. Riparip challenged Broly to reclaim his status as Big Brother, but lost every contest and ended up recognizing Broly as his Big Brother.

• Rideriel treated Broly and the children to food after Broly drank the Red Leaf Tribe’s juice to reduce the bitterness in his mouth, and Broly awkwardly described how he had rescued Rivarina.
• The children helped fish in a nearby Mangrove Forest, then fought with Red Leaf Tribe children over whether they had stolen fish; Rideriel let the children settle the dispute themselves.
• Broly carried several Danger Beasts back from Jiffonora Sea Tree Forest, winning the Red Leaf Tribe’s children over and helping the two groups become friends.
• Riparip challenged Broly in contests of strength, speed, lung capacity, and other abilities, but lost every time and called Broly his Big Brother.
• Broly became the children’s admired Big Brother, while Akame and Kurome’s Happiness Value rose from playing the games.

Broly declined Rideriel’s offer to become chief of the Red Leaf Tribe and prepared to leave with the children who wanted to return home. He departed with fourteen companions, carrying a map and pearls, while the others stayed behind; Broly then thought about finding wives elsewhere.

• Broly and fourteen companions departed as the children who stayed behind said farewell.
• Green asked Nahash whether he was a noble, and Broly thought he could find wives somewhere else.

Broly’s caravan reached a border city where lax inspections, banditry, and discrimination shaped local trade. After the children enjoyed a meal, a starving street girl cautiously asked a diner for his leftover bun wrappers.

• Broly and his companions reached the Border Pass, where Nahash explained that a fee could bypass inspections and described the city’s rival merchant groups and prejudice against different races.
• Broly told the subdued bandits not to hurt anyone, then led the children into a noodle shop and ordered a hundred bowls.
• Broly and the other children ate their fill while homeless children nearby watched and hoped for scraps.
• A filthy-scarfed girl approached a customer at the Steamed Bun Shop and politely asked for the bun wrappers he had left on his plate.

Mine, a homeless mixed-blood girl, was beaten by street children who resented her for receiving food and tried to destroy her mother’s headscarf. Broly and his companions rescued her and returned the scarf, but Mine fainted.

• A customer bought Mine a meat bun, and she ate it before continuing through the streets alone.
• Street children cornered Mine, exposed her pink hair, beat her, and tried to take her headscarf.
• Broly, Akame, Kurome, and the others confronted the bullies and quickly defeated them.
• Broly demanded the headscarf back and returned it to Mine.
• Mine thanked Broly, held the headscarf close, and fainted.
