Under a wide umbrella, Launch with blue hair gently held the handle, tilting almost the entire umbrella toward Broly.
Her own shoulder was getting wet from the drizzle, but she didn't care at all.
Her other hand wrapped affectionately around Broly's strong arm, her body pressed close against his.
A warm and satisfied smile filled her face.
As if simply being beside Broly could make even a rainy day bright.
Not far away, Master Roshi stood alone under an old umbrella.
He looked at the couple leaning against each other in the rain.
Then he looked at himself.
Alone.
His white beard trembled slightly.
Suddenly he felt like a completely unnecessary third wheel.
Roshi sighed internally.
The girls Goku and Krillin brought back…
And in the end they all went to Broly…
That lazy brat who only eats, sleeps, and plays video games!
What kind of karma did I commit…
I must owe him from a previous life!
Bulma Arrives
"Crunch—"
A yellow taxi rolled across the wet road and stopped nearby, splashing small droplets of water.
The door opened.
Bulma stepped out elegantly and skillfully opened a fashionable umbrella.
Oolong and Puar jumped out of the car as well, looking around at the familiar yet slightly changed surroundings.
"Ah, it's Bulma!" Launch spotted her immediately and waved.
"Long time no see, everyone!" Bulma replied with a cheerful wave.
Her eyes scanned across the group.
Then they landed on Broly.
She looked at him carefully.
His tall figure had grown even more muscular over the past three years.
Bulma couldn't help but admire him.
"Broly really… keeps getting more handsome."
"That presence… that physique…"
"Well of course!" Launch giggled proudly.
"Our Broly is the best!"
She hugged Broly's arm even tighter.
Bulma's Question
"So you two…" Bulma leaned closer, a mischievous smile appearing on her face.
Her eyes moved between Launch and Broly.
"When are you planning to get married?"
"You've been inseparable for three years already."
"Th-that…" Launch's cheeks instantly turned red like ripe apples.
"We're… not in a hurry…"
Bulma smirked playfully.
"By the way… have you two… you know…"
She nudged Launch with her elbow and made a slightly suggestive hand gesture.
"What?" Launch blinked in confusion.
Her blue eyes were full of innocent puzzlement.
"That hand gesture… is it some kind of greeting? I've never seen it before."
Broly also looked confused.
His eyes were completely clear and clueless.
"What does that mean?"
Bulma froze.
Then she sighed.
"I mean… are you two really together yet?"
"You know… like… more deeply together?"
Broly looked even more confused.
"Aren't we already together?"
He pointed at Launch, who was basically hanging on his arm.
Bulma: "…"
She felt like she had just hit the biggest communication barrier of her life.
That's not what I meant!!
Does he seriously not understand?
Master Roshi Interferes
"Hey hey, stop focusing only on Broly!"
Master Roshi suddenly appeared beside them with a grin.
Behind his sunglasses, his eyes gleamed suspiciously.
He carefully looked Bulma up and down.
He swallowed.
"Girls really change as they grow up!"
"You've become even more beautiful!"
"That figure… those curves…"
"Let your teacher take a closer look!"
"Hey! You dirty old man!"
Bulma reacted instantly.
She slammed her elbow backward.
BANG!
"Ow!!"
Roshi clutched his nose and stumbled backward.
"My nose!"
"You're still so violent!" he complained.
"Not cute at all!"
"Hmph!" Bulma crossed her arms angrily.
"You're so old yet still so shameless!"
"Look at Broly instead!"
"He's honest and decent!"
"Good thing he grew up with you but didn't learn your bad habits!"
"Him?" Roshi glanced at Broly and sighed deeply.
"That clueless blockhead…"
"There's such a beautiful and gentle girl beside him every single day…"
"Three years!"
"And what happened?"
"They just eat together…"
"Sleep together…"
"And play video games together!"
Bulma Is Shocked
"Wait—what?!" Bulma's eyes widened.
"They even sleep together…"
"But nothing happened?!"
She looked at Broly as if he were some rare prehistoric creature.
"Not even a kiss?"
"How did they hold back?!"
"That level of self-control is insane!"
"Maybe…" Roshi rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"They just don't know the operating procedure."
"Or maybe they don't know where to—"
Bulma's face turned bright red instantly.
"Don't finish that sentence!"
"You perverted old man!"
Launch's Innocent Explanation
"What are you two talking about?" Broly asked honestly.
He still had no idea what they meant.
At that moment, Launch lifted her red face.
She spoke very seriously.
"My mom once told me…"
"If a boy and a girl kiss…"
"They will have a baby."
"So such an important thing…"
"…must wait until after marriage."
She nodded firmly.
As if this were a scientific fact.
Bulma nearly fainted.
She held her forehead and felt dizzy.
What kind of education is this?!
That's way too old-fashioned!
Master Roshi could only shake his head and sigh.
After a moment of silence—
Bulma leaned closer to Roshi again and whispered quietly:
"What about… the blonde Launch?"
"She's a lot more… aggressive, right?"
"Did she also…?"
