I Finally Found You, but the One You Were Waiting For Wasn't Me

Broly closed the hatch, glanced around at Frieza's henchmen, then turned his gaze back to Cheelai, and suddenly asked, "Can you survive in outer space?"

Cheelai shook his head.

"Then we'll have to take a spaceship." Broly nodded, then instructed Burter and the others present, "What are you all standing there for? Get down!"

"Your name is Broly, right? You've got some nerve. Do you even know who I am?" Burter pointed to his nose with his thumb. "I'm the best member of the Ginyu Force ..."

However, Burter had not finished speaking.

"Bang!"

Broly delivered a light punch, striking Burter in the nose.

Suddenly, Burter collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

The few Frieza's henchmen present were all dumbfounded.

Isn't Lord Burter known as the fastest person in the entire universe?

It is said that he is faster than Lord Frieza.

As a result, he was knocked unconscious by this person's punch.

This is too sci-fi!

"The Ginyu Force? Is that so great?" Broly muttered to himself.

Cheelai remained silent.

Of course it's amazing!

They are the sharpest swords in Lord Frieza's hands.

They are still the most powerful legion in the universe.

As a result, the number two figure in this legion was knocked unconscious by your punch.

Cheelai's lips twitched, and his eyes quickly lit up with endless surprise.

My future husband is so amazing!

The underlings were terrified, staring in horror at Broly and then at Burter was lying unconscious on the ground.

Is Lord Burter really that fragile?

"Get out, all of you!" Broly's eyes turned fierce.

With that, Broly opened the spaceship's hatch and kicked Burter out.

Frieza's henchmen, terrified, put on their breathing apparatus and jumped out of the spaceship.

Broly calmly closed the hatch.

Immediately afterward, Broly glanced over and saw Remo standing there dumbfounded inside the spaceship.

Remo suddenly had a bad feeling.

"And you!" Broly stepped forward, grabbed Remo who was standing next to him, and led him toward the hatch.

Remo: "..."

Remo nearly lost his composure.

So you're saying everyone except Cheelai is going to be kicked off the spaceship?

I'm fucking... a friend of Cheelai!

Remo suddenly realized that the words "friend of Cheelai" no longer held much weight.

"Broly, wait a minute, what are you doing? He's Remo, my good friend!" Cheelai exclaimed anxiously, trying to stop him.

"Boyfriend?" Broly asked.

Cheelai: "..."

"He's a male friend, but not a boyfriend," Cheelai explained.

"Is there a difference?" Broly felt that the two titles were not much different. "Since you are going to marry me, you can't have any other men."

Remo's composure crumbled.

It's as if I have some special relationship with Cheelai.

Remo wanted to shout: I am innocent.

"Listen to me, Broly, he's really just a regular friend of mine, not my boyfriend!" Cheelai cried out in distress.

"Whether it is or not... I can't tell, but Luo Tian can!" Broly thought for a moment and replied, "I'll take you to see Luo Tian. If he really is your boyfriend, I won't marry you!"

"What do you take me for?" Cheelai's chest heaved with anger.

Broly said no more.

"Hmph, do you think I'm that kind of woman? You're making me furious!" Cheelai said angrily.

"Hurry up and get to Earth. I have something very important to do," Broly instructed. "This spaceship is too slow. I might be taking the spaceship with me later, so be careful."

"Flying with a spaceship?" Cheelai was taken aback.

"Can I come with you guys now... We're really just friends..." Remo gave a dry laugh and hurriedly said to Broly.

Broly did not object further.

Remo tactfully stepped forward to take control of the spaceship.

"Call out!"

The spaceship suddenly accelerated and sped towards Earth.

Inside the spaceship, all three remained silent for a long time.

Remo kept winking at Cheelai, as if to say, "You've been looking for him for 16 years... a full 16 years."

Now that we've met, let's not quarrel over such a small thing.

Cheelai took a deep breath and realized that Remo was right.

I've been searching for Broly for so long, for the past 16 years, I've been searching for Broly's whereabouts all over the universe.

That little tiff from earlier doesn't seem like a big deal now.

"Hey, Broly, what have you been doing all these years?" Cheelai asked as he stepped forward.

"Nothing much, either fighting or on my way to a fight," Broly replied.

Cheelai: "..."

"Pfft... I don't even know how to respond to your answer." Cheelai chuckled.

Seeing Cheelai's cheerful laughter, Broly was momentarily stunned, blushing and scratching his head, even feeling a little embarrassed.

"Hey, Broly, why is your face so red?" Cheelai stepped forward and stroked Broly's cheek.

Broly's face turned even redder.

"Broly, am I pretty?" Cheelai tilted his head and asked with a grin.

As soon as he finished speaking, Broly's entire body trembled violently, his face turned extremely pale, and his breathing became increasingly rapid.

Because, Broly immediately recalled what Xiao Ai had once said.

"Broly, am I handsome?"

The same words were said by Xiao Ai.

"Broly, relax, take a deep breath, don't be sad, I'm here for you!" Cheelai noticed that Broly's mood was not right, so she quickly hugged him and comforted him softly.

Feeling Cheelai's gentleness, Broly's mood gradually calmed down.

"Something very important must have happened to you, right?" Cheelai looked at Broly with a gentle expression. "Sit down first. If you don't mind, you can tell me your story."

As she spoke, Cheelai glanced at Remo, gesturing for him to go to his room first and not disturb her and Broly's time together.

Remo immediately understood and quietly entered a room next door, closing the door behind him.

In the empty main control room of the spaceship, only Broly and Cheelai remain.

Broly was already seated, as arranged by Cheelai.

"Broly, do you like listening to songs? Shall I sing for you?" Cheelai asked softly.

"Sing that song again, 'Returning the Xiao Ai We Once Had...'" Broly nodded.

"To bring back the Xiao Ai we used to have?" Cheelai was taken aback, but replied wisely, "Okay, then I'll sing it for you again."

If the universe could bring back my former Xiao Ai, I would wait a lifetime for it.

All the wounds I've suffered, all the tears I've shed, my Xiao Ai, please take them all with you...

Cheelai changed all the "love" in the book to "Xiao Ai".

Although it was a little more difficult to sing after the revision, Cheelai still managed to grasp the rhythm of the song very well.

Broly listened intently from beginning to end, and as he listened, tears began to fall without him even realizing it.

Cheelai didn't say anything, but hugged Broly tightly.

Broly cried like a child.

"Xiao Ai is your best friend, right?" Cheelai asked softly. "She would be so happy if she knew you missed her."

Broly nodded forcefully.

"She must be a very beautiful girl," Cheelai whispered.

Broly nodded again.

Cheelai wiped away a tear and sighed softly, "So many years have passed... I finally found you, but the person you were waiting for isn't me..."

Cheelai felt heartbroken.

My feelings are so complicated. I'm comforting the person I like so they can think about their lover.

Unfortunately, his lover wasn't me.

Cheelai really wanted to ask, "What exactly happened to Xiao Ai?"

However, Cheelai ultimately didn't ask the question that was on his lips.

It seems like Xiao Ai is in grave danger, otherwise Broly wouldn't be crying like this.

Asking him questions now will only further provoke him and make him feel worse.

Broly wiped away his tears and suddenly spoke, "Xiao Ai is a robot created by Dr. Briefs. She was originally Bulma's sister and was used to accompany her while she studied."

Cheelai was taken aback.

Robot?

Cheelai was both amused and exasperated.

I'm jealous of a robot... I think I'm ridiculous.

Cheelai immediately felt relieved.

So Xiao Ai is a robot.

"I was only 5 years old when I met her." Broly looked up at the spaceship's ceiling.

"You were five years old when we met, weren't you?" Cheelai nodded gently.

"I had a lot of fun with her. I didn't know she was a robot at first. I just kept looking at her, and then she suddenly spoke—what are you looking at? I imitated her... and she shocked me with electricity." Broly said in a deep voice, lost in memories.

"Is she a very beautiful female robot?" Cheelai asked.

"Back then, she was just a ball floating in the air, about this big." Broly gestured with his hand to show the size of the ball.

Cheelai: "..."

"More than 20 years later, when we met again, I had grown up," Broly continued. "She said the same things she said when I was a child... I was unmoved. I was no longer the boy I once was, but she was still the same as before."

"She must have been very sad at that time, if she had intelligence," Cheelai sighed softly.

"Later, Bulma created a brand new body for her... a very beautiful girl's body," Broly said truthfully, and then told Cheelai in detail what happened afterward.

Upon hearing this, Cheelai also burst into tears.

What a devoted robot!

I feel like I've already lost to her.

I'm so unwilling to accept this...

My competitor is actually a female robot.

Instead of a real woman.

No, Xiao Ai's actions are more feminine than those of a real woman!

"Everything will be alright, Broly," Cheelai comforted her. "There will definitely be a way to bring her back."

"Yes, Luo Tian should have a way." Broly nodded.

"When Xiao Ai comes back, you will marry her." Cheelai smiled, but the smile seemed a little unnatural.

Broly paused, looking at Cheelai with some surprise.

"It was just a childhood joke between us, don't take it to heart," Cheelai smiled.

"Why... why should I marry Xiao Ai?" Broly scratched his head in confusion.

Cheelai: "???"

"Don't you like her?" Cheelai was taken aback.

"I like it," Broly nodded in reply.

"If you like her, then marry her," Cheelai sighed softly.

"No, the person I want to marry is you," Broly said stubbornly. "You were the one who agreed first."

"You scumbag!" Cheelai glared angrily at Broly. "Or... do you want me and Xiao Ai to serve you together?"

"Together?" Broly didn't understand.

"Do you want to marry two wives?" Cheelai glared angrily at Broly.

Broly was even more confused.

Can you marry two wives?

Luo Tian never told me about this.

Broly shook his head blankly.

"You can tell from the poems she told you before she disappeared that she truly loved you," Cheelai said thoughtfully, looking up at the vast starry sky, tears streaming down her face.

"I don't understand. I only know one, two, two or three, three, four, five or six, seven, eight, nine or ten..." Broly replied, "In the end, I tore off the mermaid's scales one by one."

Cheelai's lips twitched slightly.

That mermaid must be in a lot of pain.

They deserved it.

"After telling you all this, I feel much better," Broly said to Cheelai.

"Go, Broly," Cheelai said to Broly, mustering his courage. "Let's part ways here."

"Huh?" Broly was taken aback.

"Go and save her quickly," Cheelai said with a smile.

"But... I still want to marry you." Broly scratched his head.

"We'll talk about love when you understand what it is," Cheelai said, immediately turning her back to Broly and whispering, "Take care, Broly!"

Broly scratched his head again, looking bewildered.

Could you please explain yourself more clearly?

Will you let me marry you or not?

What you're saying is that you feel like you don't want me to marry you.

"Alright then, I'm leaving. Take care." Broly hesitated for a moment, then turned and left.

The next moment, Broly opened the spaceship's hatch, a dark green light emanating from his body, and transformed into a dark green streak of light, returning to the Void Realm.

After making a slight turn in the Void Realm, Broly finally entered Universe 6.

After Broly left, Remo heard something was wrong with the noise outside and immediately came out of the room to look for Broly.

"Remo, what are you looking for in that trash can over there? Do you think Broly would hide there?" Cheelai said irritably.

"Where is he...?" Remo asked curiously.

"I'm leaving." Cheelai sighed softly.

"You're gone? Did you go back to prepare the dowry to come and marry you?" Remo asked excitedly.

"We broke up." Cheelai shook his head. "So many years have passed, and the person he loved so deeply was a robot."

Remo: "???"

"What robot?" Remo was completely confused.

"His heart has been taken over by robots; there's no room for anyone else." Cheelai held back her tears.

The Universe 7, Outer Space.

"Hello, this is Jeice from the Ginyu Force. Get Burter on the phone."

A voice is calling Burter.

The caller was Jeice, a member of the Ginyu Force.

Jeice sounded anxious, instructing Burter to contact him immediately.

However, the person who answered the phone was not Burter, but one of Frieza's henchmen.

"Lord Jeice, I am Ruaru ..." the underling replied.

"Ruaru, get Burter on the phone right away," Jeice instructed.

"Lord Jeice, Lord Burter has fainted..." Ruaru looked at Burter was still floating in space.

"You... what did you say? You fainted? What happened?" Jeice was a little confused. "Was it because you ate too much chocolate and your blood sugar went up?"

Ruaru: "..."

"Jeice, stop spouting useless nonsense," Ginyu couldn't help but interject.

Jeice quickly shut up.

"Ah... Captain Ginyu!" Ruaru hurriedly called out, and then recounted everything that had happened on the spaceship.

"Hey! Burter is dead!" Ginyu sighed.

"Burter can't survive in outer space, can he..." Jeice was both amused and exasperated.

"That unlucky guy!" Recoome sighed deeply. "His death was too random."

"Idiot," Guldo cursed, seizing the opportunity.

"He must have been too careless! He actually got knocked out with a single punch!" Jeice said angrily. "What was that person's name?"

"He didn't say..." Ruaru had been standing on the outside and hadn't heard Broly's name, so she simply said that he hadn't said his name.

"Captain, what do we do?" Jeice asked. "Should we go and deal with that guy?"

"Let's finish what Lord Frieza asked us to do first," Ginyu replied decisively. "After we get back from Planet Namek, we'll settle the score with that guy. He won't get away!"

"Yes, Captain!" Jeice replied.

"They're bullying our Ginyu Force members! I, Recoome, will be the first to stand in their way!" Recoome said angrily.

"Me too." Guldo took the opportunity to make himself known.

"Guldo, no one will think you're mute if you don't speak. You're just there to make up the numbers in our team. Don't you know that?" Recoome said to Guldo without any mercy.

Guldo felt a pang of heartache at that moment.

You've gone too far.

Even if I'm just there to make up the numbers, you can't just say that outright.

"How much longer until we reach Planet Namek?" Ginyu asked.

"It will take at least five more days," Jeice analyzed.

"Get a good night's sleep... It's a pity it's not on the way to that little girl Cheelai, otherwise it would have been easier to take care of them on the way." Ginyu said with some regret.

"Should we report this to Lord Frieza?" Recoome asked.

"Why do you need to report such a trivial matter to Lord Frieza? Do you really think Lord Frieza has nothing better to do?" Ginyu scolded.

"Recoome, the captain is scolding you! He's speaking very seriously!" Jeice explained.

"Shut up!" Ginyu and Recoome shouted at the same time.

Hey everyone, the monthly votes haven't been very generous lately... I'm sure you're saving your votes for me!!
