But I reminded Krillin that he didn't have a nose! Then all of a sudden, it's like he was never harmed by Bacterian!" Kakarot exclaimed, both his mother and grandfather then burst out laughing.
"Hahaha! Well, that's convenient!" Gine quipped.
They were all seated at the dining table waiting for the stove to warm up so she could cook dinner. Kakarot had just returned an hour ago from his latest adventure. This time he was gone for almost half a year, training with Gohan's old martial arts master, Roshi, and competing in some sort of tournament, as he was recounting to them now.
Kakarot was so excited to tell them everything. His travelling had done him good in ways Gine never expected. He had become more independent ever since he first went off with Bulma, and had grown an insatiable curiosity in everything he saw and a thirst to see everything Earth had to offer, essentially making the world his to explore. It made Gine so proud that he had become quite an adventurer, and she couldn't be any happier to hear his exploits. The peace and quiet of his absence was certainly just as great too, but she did miss him so much sometimes.
"Then what happened?" Grandpa Gohan asked.
"He knocked him down and gave him a taste of his own medicine by farting in his face." Kakarot replied.
Gine and Gohan didn't laugh at that. He didn't have to tell them that gross little detail, but they supposed it worked for teaching that filthy slob a lesson.
"So, he won that match?" Gohan said, moving the conversation along.
"Yep. He won that and made it as far as the semi-finals."
"Who did he lose to?"
"Some really good fighter named Jackie Chun." Kakarot said.
"Ahh, so you meet good ol' Chun?" Gohan said, sounding oddly nostalgic.
"Yeah, I did! You know him?" Kakarot asked.
"Oh, we've meet before in previous tournaments."
Gine noticed a touch of slyness in Gohan's voice, as if he knew something they didn't. "Did you fight him in the finals?" She asked.
Kakarot turned to her, "We did! We went all out too, so I had to use every trick and technique Master Roshi ever taught me just to not get thrown out or beaten down."
"I bet you had to; he is one of the best fighters out there. He has a way of...putting you to the test." Said Gohan knowingly.
To Gine it almost sounded like Gohan knew there was something about Mr. Chun that correlated with Roshi. And somehow should be kept secret. She'll ask him later.
"Yes, he did, he was such a good fighter that I almost wanted to look up at the moon."
Gine turned toward him in alarm. "You weren't actually going to, were you?!"
Kakarot shrunk when he realized he shouldn't have said that. "N-no! I was tempted to since it would've been the only sure way to win, but...I know you said I never should. Plus, there were people everywhere, so I didn't."
Gine looked him in the eye, as if searching that he was telling the truth. He was.
"That's very good, I'm glad you didn't." She said finally and sipped her tea.
Gine really was glad he considered all this but made a mental note to talk to him about never even thinking about resorting to such a reckless tactic to win something trivial like a competition.
"Also, it would've felt like cheating. I wanted to win the tournament in a fair fight." Kakarot added.
"Now that is the philosophy of an honorable warrior." Gohan remarked.
Gine didn't entirely agree, for the Saiyan definition of "honor" was far more different than from what humans thought it was, then again it just meant winning a fight. If it was for the sake of fighting then yes, all for a good sport. But if your life depended on winning...
Another thought entered her mind, overtaking her last one.
"Hang on, how did you not look at the full moon? You had your shades on?" Gine asked.
"Yeah." Kakarot answered. Then perked up when he remembered. "Oh, and my tail grew back!"
He uncoiled his tail from his new orange gi and showed it to her.
"Excellent!" She said genuinely, then got back to her original question. "So, you wore your shades on during the fight?"
"I did." He answered.
"So, how did you keep them on while getting punched in the face?"
Kakarot thought this over. "Well... Jackie Chun did accidentally knock off my glasses and I almost transformed."
Gine didn't realize she was holding her breath, almost afraid to hear what happened next.
"But I looked away as you always told me to do. Then, Chun gave them back to me so we could continue fighting. He also didn't try to hit me in the face afterwards. He was as courteous as he was strong."
"He certainly does sound like it..." Gine said, looking over to Gohan, who smiled back at her.
It seemed to click in place. Roshi was made aware of Kakarot's ability to transformations. Could he be Chun? But... wou
ldn't Kakarot recognize it's him? So many questions went through her head...
