The Grand Minister was in a very good mood. He suddenly leaned close to Whis's ear and whispered,
"Have you forgotten about the Super Dragon Ball? If things really get to the point of no return, use them to restore everything!"
Whis's face lit up with joy, but his expression quickly darkened.
"But if the universe is erased, no one will come out to make a wish..."
The Grand Minister slapped his forehead, looking at Whis with a disappointed expression.
"How stupid! Have you forgotten about Uchiha Senga? Doesn't he belong to a different dimension? Doesn't that mean the Lord Zeno's erasure won't work on him? Why don't you just give him the Super Dragon Ball as insurance?"
"Yes! How come I didn't think of that? Father is truly shrewd and calculating! I admire you!"
The Grand Minister's smile deepened. He held up a finger and wagged it, saying...
"However, as I said before, you need to make sure that Uchiha Senga is trustworthy first. If he did something else with the Super Dragon Ball, it would definitely anger the Lord Zeno, causing the universe to disappear prematurely."
"I understand, Father, but it's definitely best for Bardos to handle this, as long as she can stay on Earth for a little longer..."
"Yes, I understand what you mean. I'll pretend I didn't see her leaving her post. But we can't just listen to Bardos alone. In her current state, she's unlikely to say anything bad about Uchiha Senga. Isn't Marcarita on Earth too? She just got into a fight. We should also listen to her opinion."
Whis nodded repeatedly, almost as if he were taking out a small notebook to write it down.
The father and son exchanged a smile, said a brief goodbye, and then went their separate ways in opposite directions.
On Earth,
Marcarita, wearing a dark blue silk nightgown and holding a bucket of popcorn, was sitting cross-legged on the sofa watching TV.
The popular TV show "Angel Baby" was playing on TV, Marcarita's hands were constantly busy stuffing handfuls of popcorn into her mouth, while her eyes never left the TV screen.
Marcarita sat on the sofa to the side, wearing pajamas of the same color as her angel outfit, holding a cup of ice cream. Compared to Marcarita, her movements were much more elegant.
She ate her ice cream in small bites with a spoon, occasionally glancing at the television.
Suddenly, Marcarita screamed hysterically.
"What?! Why is this male lead being so indecisive? Just tell me who he likes! If you can't have him, then have him all!"
Bardos paused, about to speak, when Marcarita crushed the popcorn in her hand and jumped up from the sofa.
"I'm so angry! This show is called 'Angel Baby,' but how come the second female lead gets all the screen time? Don't let me catch that director, or I'll make him taste the wrath of an angel!"
As she jumped, crumbs of popcorn spilled onto the sofa. Bardos raised an eyebrow and reminded her...
"Marcarita, you'd better tidy up the sofa, or Senga will give you a piece of his mind when he gets back!"
Marcarita was furious; she twisted her waist with a defiant expression and shouted,
"Afraid of him? What was that word he used again? I'm here to make his shabby shed shine!"
Bardos sighed and rubbed her forehead, saying...
"Senga said it's an idiom, 'humble abode brings honor,' but can't you tell he's being sarcastic towards you?"
"Hmph! I don't care about any of that. By the way, why isn't he back yet? I'm hungry!"
"You're an angel, how could you possibly be hungry? I think you're just craving something sweet."
"It's all the same, I'm just not happy! If he doesn't come back soon, I'll..."
Click!
The sound of the door lock clicking rang out. Marcarita's angelic ears were naturally extremely sharp, and she twitched them. Then, to Bardos's astonishment, she quickly cleared away all the popcorn on the sofa and tidied her clothes as well.
After doing all this, she sat upright on the sofa with her legs together, and replaced the popcorn in her hand with a cup of hot tea, looking incredibly elegant.
Bardos's lips twitched twice as she asked,
What are you doing?
Marcarita took a sip of her hot tea and said softly,
"Watching TV shows, isn't that obvious?"
"What do you mean by that look? Where's the arrogant you from just now?"
Marcarita's face flushed slightly. She frowned and said,
"What are you saying? We're guests in someone else's home, how can we be so rude? Bardos, your thinking is dangerous."
As soon as he finished speaking, Senga walked in carrying several bags of groceries, with No. 18 linking arms with him.
Senga raised an eyebrow at Marcarita's posture and said teasingly,
"Oh, whose lady is this?"
Marcarita forced a smile and said,
"You're back! You've worked so hard, buying so much groceries. I'm so sorry."
"It's okay, you can buy it next time."
"... good!"
"By the way, I heard someone at the door say that if I didn't come back, she would do something to me. From her tone, it sounded like she was going to hit me. I'm a little scared."
Marcarita immediately feigned surprise, turned to Bardos, and asked,
"Really? Bardos, did you hear that just now?"
Bardos rolled her Byakugan, but didn't expose her. She scooped up a spoonful of ice cream and put it in her mouth, quietly watching Marcarita's performance.
Marcarita secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Senga and said,
"You must have misheard. How could anyone on this planet dare to hit you? Who's got a death wish? Tell me and I'll take care of her for you!"
No. 18 finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing. Marcarita lowered her head awkwardly and kept sipping her coffee.
Senga glanced at the TV and noticed the title of the show in the lower right corner. She couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle.
By the way, he found a new girlfriend on the No. 17 and has now moved out to live with her.
Marcarita insisted on moving in with Bardos, since she was Bardos's sister. Bardos didn't want her to wander around the earth alone anymore, so she put in a good word for her with Senga, and Senga agreed.
When she first came in, she still couldn't shake off her arrogant personality. It wasn't until Senga ruffled her pigtails into a poop shape like Lazy Sheep's that she finally became completely obedient in front of Senga.
When Senga came in, she had already tucked the tips of her twin ponytails under her bottom before sitting down, because she was really afraid that Senga would mess with her twin ponytails!
