Yamcha, Who Is It?
Atop the vast, clear sky of Korin Tower.
Kami's Lookout.
Son Gohan met Piccolo, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, and also Chi-Chi, who was now the Kami of the Kami's Lookout. Beside Chi-Chi was a red-haired stranger, fresh and innocent, beautiful without being seductive, but Son Gohan had never seen her before in his own world.
"This is another goddess of Earth, Suno," Goku introduced Suno's identity.
Suno gave Son Gohan a friendly nod, Son Gohan quickly returned the greeting, his gaze falling on Piccolo and Chi-Chi beside him.
"Kid, are you Son Gohan from another world?" Piccolo crossed his arms and took a few steps forward to Son Gohan.
"Uncle Piccolo." Looking at Piccolo's familiar face, Son Gohan couldn't help but call out softly, a tear glistening in his eye.
Piccolo stared intently at Son Gohan, his sharp eyes glancing at Bulla beside him, who was pouting. He nodded, a hint of warmth appearing on his otherwise serious face.
"Hmm, she looks much better than that girl Bulla."
Piccolo said calmly.
"Piccolo!"
Upon hearing Piccolo's words, Bulla glared at him, his eyes wide with anger, like a kitten whose foot had been stepped on, and angrily shouted Piccolo's name.
Piccolo ignored the shouting Bulla and said seriously, "You came with Goku, so it must be something important. Explain in detail what's going on!"
Son Gohan nodded to Piccolo, and then explained Cell's situation just as he had told Roland. After listening, Piccolo and Chi-Chi's expressions changed drastically. They rubbed their throbbing foreheads, feeling just like Bulma that this would never end.
This is Android with power comparable to Super Saiyan 2, and who knows how much stronger it has become over the years. They exchanged glances and immediately realized that this matter was even more troublesome than the Android that had appeared on Earth before.
"Mr. Popo, keep an eye on the situation in the lower realm. Don't overlook any possible scenarios," Piccolo said in a cold voice, his face serious.
"Yes." Mr. Popo nodded vigorously, fully aware of the seriousness of the situation.
They diligently and responsibly monitored the situation in the lower realm from the Kami's Lookout.
"Cell's Time Machine arrived in this world about two years ago. Before that, he may have been to other worlds. I can't give an accurate assessment of his strength, but it shouldn't have changed much." Son Gohan estimated that Cell was still at the Super Saiyan 2 level.
Piccolo nodded with a somewhat grave expression. Regardless of whether Cell's power was Super Saiyan 2, it was already beyond their ability to handle. For the poor, it was the difference between a million and ten million.
He immediately thought of Roland's family living in the West City, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, those few are still on Earth.
"The Earth really has suffered many disasters!"
Piccolo, who had inherited the memories of the Old Kami, uttered these words of reflection.
Although they knew that after connecting with the universe, Earth had to prepare for a revolutionary change, the changes were too sudden and intense. Powerful enemies appeared one after another, exceeding their capacity to cope.
Thinking back to twenty years ago Old Kami with a combat power of 300 could manage the world; the pressure on today's administrators is immense.
This situation has been particularly pronounced in the last five years.
Vegeta, Captain Ginyu, King Cold, the Android, and other powerful enemies appeared one after another, seemingly targeting Earth, and the stage for Earth's battles suddenly expanded into the universe. Of course, compared to the battles on truly cosmic-famous planets, the battles on Earth were fewer, but their quality was a bit higher.
"Son Gohan... can you tell me about the situation where you are?" A gentle voice asked, Chi-Chi looked at Son Gohan with her elegant face.
Looking at Chi-Chi, who was dressed in Kami attire and had a youthful appearance, Son Gohan didn't recognize her at first, and nodded after a moment of surprise.
"Of course, the difference between the two worlds probably starts from when Aunt Bulma met Dad..."
Son Gohan recounted the situation in his world, and Goku, Chi-Chi, and the others listened attentively. When they learned that Goku from another world had traveled through Mount Liangjing and encountered Chi-Chi, and that they made a marriage agreement due to a misunderstanding, a strange expression appeared on both of their faces.
The two of them, who were fellow disciples, ended up as husband and wife in another world.
I feel strange.
The two children mentioned by Son Gohan were childhood sweethearts who made a promise to get married at the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament. This plot is as beautiful as a fairy tale, making people yearn for it. However, in the eyes of onlookers, it is also hasty and absurd, which brings pressure in their later life.
Goku was obsessed with martial arts and didn't know how to share the burden of the family. Chi-Chi had to shoulder everything. Because of the trivial matters in life, Chi-Chi's mood became irritable. The two of them seemed to be a perfect match, but they were not as happy as they had imagined.
Especially after Goku's death, Chi-Chi had to take care of Son Gohan while being pursued by the Android, which made her life extremely difficult.
After listening to Son Gohan's story, Chi-Chi was filled with emotion and felt a pang of sadness.
"My life in another world is so tough."
"You have to shoulder the burden of the family and take care of your clueless husband. Senior brother, we're not a good match!" Chi-Chi looked at Goku Wukong with eyes as clear as lake water and said earnestly.
"This isn't me. Although I'm also dedicated to martial arts, I also help with some housework." Goku somewhat dejectedly, "Besides, my grandfather didn't die so early. When I was little, he often took me to Mount Liangjing to see Uncle Ox-King."
"The fire at Mount Liangjing was extinguished by Chi-Chi, with a single slap, but in another world, it was thanks to Master Roshi who came to help."
"The change probably started when Suno and I were chosen as the successors of the Kami..." Chi-Chi licked her rosy lips. If she hadn't been taken to the Korin Tower and hadn't left Mount Liangjing, she might have really ended up with her senior brother.
Although the senior disciple in this world is not quite the same as the Goku in Son Gohan, it still feels strange when the two of them walk together.
Perhaps Bulma felt the same way.
"By the way, who is Yamcha in the Gohan story? Does such a person exist on Earth?" Suno, who had been listening to the history of another world as a story, suddenly asked.
Both Goku and Chi-Chi shook their heads.
"I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before, but I can't remember where." Goku racked his brains, but still couldn't recall it.
At this moment, Piccolo, who inherited the memories of the Old Kami, said calmly, "Yamcha is the Desert Bandit you met in the Gobi Desert when you were traveling with Bulma, the one you beat so badly he questioned his existence."
"Does such a person exist?" Goku shook his head, his memory somewhat hazy.
It seems that's true!
He and Bulma did encounter someone who tried to steal their Dragon Ball when they were searching for Dragon Ball.
His name is Yamcha?
"Also, Chi-Chi encountered him in Mount Liangjing, but you knocked her unconscious with a single slap," Piccolo continued.
"Oh, so it was the person who attacked me without any explanation." Chi-Chi couldn't quite remember, but after Piccolo reminded her, she vaguely recalled that incident.
At that time, she was riding her Flying Nimbus home. Just as she approached Mount Liangjing, a poorly dressed person attacked her for no apparent reason. She was very angry and hit him a little too hard.
He was a nobody, and he couldn't even withstand one slap from her; all the bones in his body were broken.
Judging from what Son Gohan, this person is still one of their companions in another world. Surely he can't be that pathetic!
"What's wrong? Isn't Yamcha your comrade-in-arms? He's also Bulma's ex-boyfriend," Son Gohan said, somewhat surprised.
Although Yamcha's presence isn't very strong, he's not so much that he's ignored.
Goku and Chi-Chi shrugged; there was no one like that around.
"Well... maybe it's just a difference in the world!"
Son Gohan gave an awkward laugh, silently mourning for Yamcha in this world.
Meanwhile, at Roland's home.
The sun has already shone into the yard, its warm rays falling on the leaves, refracting into a dazzling array of colors when they meet tiny water droplets.
Launch hummed a little tune, leisurely pruning the plants with scissors. Then she picked up a watering can and watered the flowers and plants in the yard. It was springtime, and the yard was filled with birdsong, lush grass, and blooming flowers. A gentle breeze blew by, bringing a few fragrant and tranquil scents.
On the soft grass nearby.
A slender young girl was holding a candied hawthorn, lying flat on the ground with her legs together. Her long, fine, black hair was tied into a ponytail, with a few strands of bangs tucked behind her ears. Her skin was as white as snow, and her slender waist, paired with her appropriate clothing, made her look exceptionally beautiful.
Suddenly, the girl's bright eyes caught sight of two dark figures flying rapidly from the other side of the sky. She paused for a moment, then stood up.
"Lazuli, Lapis, why are you only arriving now?" Askari smiled faintly, occasionally licking the candied hawthorn in her hand with her cute little tongue.
