You Suddenly Tried to Catch Me Off Guard, and I Wasn't Ready for It!

"Whoosh!"

The axe shot toward Master Roshi at incredible speed.

As if sensing the fierce force coming from behind, Master Roshi spun around in a dazzling flourish and tried to block the axe with his staff.

"Crack!"

The sharp axe cut straight through Master Roshi's staff and buried itself in the top of his head.

"Ah... my staff..." Master Roshi wailed in pain, on the verge of tears.

Broly: "..."

"Pfft..."

Broly burst out laughing.

"It hurts so much..." Master Roshi rubbed his head, feeling like the world had turned against him.

"Are you all right?" Sea Turtle hurried over to check on him.

"Pfft... Hahahaha!" Broly, however, laughed without a care in the world.

"Stop laughing! I raised you this big, and you care less about me than a sea turtle does!" Master Roshi glared, blazing with anger.

Broly quickly covered his mouth, holding back his laughter.

Still, his shoulders kept shaking, and he could barely keep himself from laughing.

"He definitely isn't Master Roshi!" Chi-Chi was even more suspicious of his identity.

"You idiot! You caught me off guard, and I wasn't ready for it!" Master Roshi snapped angrily at Chi-Chi.

"If you're Master Roshi... then show me some proof," Chi-Chi argued, lifting her head.

"Look! My name is on this ID!" Master Roshi took out his identification card and showed it to Chi-Chi.

"Ah... so it really is you!" Chi-Chi exclaimed. She hurriedly planted one foot on Master Roshi's face, pulled the axe from his head, and apologized somewhat sheepishly. "I'm sorry. Please forgive me!"

"Ah..." Master Roshi grimaced in pain.

"Sorry... I really should have known better..." Chi-Chi blushed and put on a cute expression.

"I hate this girl!" Master Roshi said angrily.

"Pfft..."

Broly couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

Master Roshi was furious. He turned and glared at Broly.

"I'm not laughing." Broly quickly covered his mouth, his shoulders shaking even harder.

"And you still say you're not laughing!" Master Roshi grew even angrier and shouted at him.

But the moment Master Roshi got angry, blood suddenly sprayed from the top of his head.

"Pfft... Old man, it looks like you've grown red hair," Broly said, laughing even harder.

Master Roshi: "..."

"Hahahaha..." Son Goku joined in, laughing without a care in the world.

Master Roshi felt dizzy and lightheaded, swaying from side to side.

He'd lost too much blood after a careless accident...

"What are you standing around for? Go get a Band-Aid!" Master Roshi ordered Broly irritably.

"Uh..." Broly nodded, hurried into the room, grabbed a sanitary napkin, and handed it over.

"Idiot! That's not a Band-Aid!" Master Roshi glared, his face turning green with anger.

"There aren't any Band-Aids that big!" Broly shook his head.

Master Roshi thought about it. He had a point.

Band-Aids were so small... they couldn't cover the wound on his head.

Maybe using a sanitary napkin to stop the bleeding first wasn't such a bad idea.

"By the way... does a woman live here?" Chi-Chi asked curiously.

"No." With Broly's help, Master Roshi stuck the sanitary napkin to the top of his head and answered offhandedly.

"If no woman lives here... then why do you have one?" Chi-Chi was even more curious.

Master Roshi: "..."

Master Roshi blushed.

"Ahem... anyway... that's not the point..." Master Roshi awkwardly cleared his throat and hurried to change the subject. Looking at Son Goku, he asked, "What do you two want from me?"

"Oh, right! I forgot why we came." Son Goku replied, "Grandpa, do you have a Banana Fan?"

"What do you need a Banana Fan for?" Master Roshi asked.

"Lend it to us so we can put out the fire on Flame Mountain!" Chi-Chi urged.

"We'll bring it right back when we're done. Please lend it to us," Son Goku added.

"So it's the flames on Flame Mountain," Master Roshi said, his expression turning a little more serious. "I've heard of them. The Banana Fan can indeed put them out."

After speaking, Master Roshi spun around with a flourish and said nothing more.

"Please, lend it to us," Chi-Chi said, bowing.

"What's Grandpa thinking about?" Son Goku scratched his head.

"All right, I can lend it to you..." Master Roshi agreed with a nod.

"That's wonderful! Thank you!" Chi-Chi bounced up and down with excitement.

"But... I have one condition." Master Roshi turned around and beckoned Son Goku over. "Hey, you. Come here for a moment."

Son Goku pointed at his own nose, looking completely puzzled.

"Yes, you. Come here!" Master Roshi nodded.

"A condition?" Chi-Chi said, taken aback.

"What is it?" Son Goku came over and asked.

Broly and Sea Turtle also leaned in to see what was going on.

"I can lend you the Banana Fan," Master Roshi said with a mischievous grin. "But that girl who was with you last time... what was her name..."

"Was it Bulma?" Son Goku asked, nodding thoughtfully.

"Right, right! Could you let me... heh heh, you know what I mean." Master Roshi wore a lecherous grin, drooling as he spoke.

"Master Roshi, what kind of request is that?" Sea Turtle couldn't listen to any more.

"Shh! Keep your voice down! Someone might hear you!" Master Roshi quickly gestured for him to be quiet. "Just look at Broly. He hasn't said a word!"

"Broly doesn't understand!" Sea Turtle replied, then gave Master Roshi a look of deep contempt. "Sigh! What a disgrace..."

"Don't say that!" Master Roshi rolled his eyes repeatedly and shouted angrily, "I don't have many days left to live. Just give me one last comfort before I die."

"What do you mean, one last comfort? Didn't you take the elixir of immortality?" Sea Turtle stretched out his neck and argued reasonably.

"If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all!" Master Roshi grew even angrier. Suddenly he felt even dizzier, and his body began to sway. He was starting to feel faint.

"Y-you're all right, aren't you?" Sea Turtle asked with concern.

"Why do I feel even dizzier with this thing stuck to my head?" Master Roshi rubbed his head.

"I've heard these things are really absorbent..." Sea Turtle mused.

Master Roshi: "..."

Master Roshi immediately felt like the world had turned against him.

Was it going to suck all my blood out?

"I remember there's an extra-large Band-Aid in the drawer..." Sea Turtle continued.

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Master Roshi was truly furious.

Fortunately, Master Roshi changed it in time.

Otherwise, he really might have died from losing too much blood.

"Broly! Are you trying to kill me?" Master Roshi glared angrily at Broly.

"Why keep something that absorbs so much blood in the house?" Broly asked with a puzzled expression.

Master Roshi: "..."

Master Roshi was at a loss for words.

"Hey, kid, what do you think of my condition?" Master Roshi changed the subject and asked Son Goku again.
