How Am I Supposed to Relax?

The girls exchanged glances, then turned their eyes to a girl named Amy, seeming to urge her to make a move.

She usually liked to compete with Bulma.

She was also the one who had once mocked Bulma for being unpopular, because she had a younger boyfriend from another class who bought her breakfast.

That was what had spurred Bulma to look for a boyfriend so urgently.

Amy's eyes shifted, and she plastered a sweet smile on her face as she swayed toward Bulma and Son Mirai,

even casually tossing her hair.

As a Saiyan, Son Mirai's sense of smell was far sharper than an Earthling's.

He was hit by a strong, pungent wave of perfume, but since she was Bulma's classmate, he didn't show any sign of disgust.

Amy deliberately softened her voice, her eyes curving as she looked at Son Mirai. "Hi! I'm Amy, one of Bulma's classmates."

Son Mirai replied calmly, "Hello!"

Amy sized him up. He certainly had the looks and presence to match, and he seemed far more imposing than the boys at school.

She smiled. "This is the first time I've seen Bulma bring her boyfriend out!

What school do you go to?

Since you're Bulma's boyfriend, I guess we'll be seeing each other a lot from now on."

Son Mirai picked up on the strong scent of jealousy.

He replied coldly, "Sorry, I'm not a student, and I won't be going to school. We won't be seeing each other often."

As he spoke, Son Mirai took Bulma by the arm,

then told Amy and the others, "The movie's about to start. If you don't have anything important to do, we're going inside."

Amy met with a polite rebuff, and her smile stiffened for a moment.

She turned to Bulma and asked playfully, "Bulma, where did you find your boyfriend? He's so cool!"

Bulma shrugged as if helpless and smiled. "I met him while traveling over the summer.

After he saw me, he insisted on chasing after me and making me his girlfriend...

Oh, you have no idea. He was so persistent when he pursued me back then. It was really annoying!

But what could I do? I'm smart, beautiful, and adorable!"

Bulma made up stories as easily as she breathed, but with Son Mirai holding her hand and the two of them looking so close, her performance worked surprisingly well.

Amy and the other girls were thoroughly green with envy.

Amy changed tack and said to Bulma, "Still, I think boys are cuter when they're more outgoing!

It must be so boring to be with someone who's too quiet. Don't you think, Bulma?"

Son Mirai frowned.

Is this what those palace-intrigue dramas are like?

Putting all that effort into verbal attacks is such a waste of time!

Bulma was about to snap back, but Son Mirai spoke first.

"Whether people enjoy each other's company depends on who they are, not on how much they talk."

He glanced at Bulma, then looked at the others,

and said, "Besides being pretty girls like you, Bulma is also a genius scientist.

She can help me build a Gravity Chamber and support my training.

As for you..."

Son Mirai's gaze swept over the girls, and he openly looked down on them.

"You're all still students, yet you dress so extravagantly and wear such heavy makeup.

You don't even look like you can focus on your basic classes at school. You should put more effort into what really matters."

Amy and the others turned red in an instant.

Seriously!

They'd heard adults tell them to study harder, but who had ever heard someone's boyfriend say that to them?

Seeing Son Mirai leave them speechless, Bulma could barely hold back her laughter. She pretended to scold him.

"Come on, be a little more polite. They're all my good classmates..."

Another girl tried to smooth things over. "Bulma, your boyfriend... sure does look out for you.

But Amy meant well, you know."

She sized Son Mirai up too, then continued, "Still, I guess you have to keep a close eye on a boyfriend that handsome. There are so many temptations out there."

So annoying!

This time, Son Mirai didn't even look at her. He turned toward Cinema Hall 3 with Bulma.

"Bulma, the movie's about to start. Let's go!"

Before Bulma could respond, Son Mirai pulled her away, giving her no time to react and nearly making her stumble.

But Son Mirai was strong. He practically carried her into the theater with one arm, looking like the perfect boyfriend to anyone watching.

The other girls were treated like they weren't even there, their faces turning ashen.

Son Mirai pulled Bulma into the theater. She didn't complain—in fact, she was overjoyed.

They walked into the dim screening room and found their seats.

Bulma shoved the bucket of popcorn into Son Mirai's hands, leaned close to his ear, and finally let her excitement show.

Laughing, she whispered, "Son Mirai, you were so cool just now!

Did you see their faces?

They looked like they'd eaten shit! Hahaha, that felt so good!"

"Hahahaha... That was so satisfying!"

Son Mirai whispered, "Looks like you're happy now?"

"Happy? I'm thrilled!

I finally got my revenge by making them mad!" Bulma said excitedly.

Son Mirai continued, "Then after the movie, I'll be leaving.

I can't put it off any longer. I need to start training.

Oh, and when I leave, give me a mobile phone.

If you need me to back you up, just call. If I'm free, I can get there quickly.

You can also call me when the Gravity Chamber is finished."

Seeing how serious Son Mirai looked, Bulma was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Hey, why are you in such a hurry? Do you have a mission to rush off to?"

Son Mirai asked in confusion, "What's wrong with that?"

Bulma put her hands on her hips. "Of course there's something wrong with it!

We're dating. Don't you think that should be fun? Can't you just relax for once?"

"But this is exactly when I should be training!

You're telling me to relax, but how am I supposed to relax?"

Son Mirai looked up in the distance and said anxiously, "Goku has probably already started training by now!"

Bulma knew that he and Goku had made plans to train with Master Roshi. She sighed helplessly.

"You really are a dummy!

Isn't life supposed to be enjoyed?"

Kame House.

Master Roshi had some requirements for his students.

He told Son Goku to bring back an adorable, lively girl before he would start teaching him to train.

But Goku's taste was terrible. First, he brought back a woman who weighed over three hundred pounds, then a mermaid.

He failed every time.

Just as Master Roshi was carefully explaining what an adorable, lively girl was to Goku, Krillin showed up.

With Krillin there, the two of them finally managed to bring back a girl.

It was none other than Launch, who transformed whenever she sneezed.

She was also a wanted criminal.

Fortunately, when she had deep blue hair, she was kind-tempered and knew how to cook.

Master Roshi hadn't managed to take advantage of her, but he still let her stay.

After two days of chaos—moving house and getting food poisoning from eating pufferfish...

On the third day, Krillin and Goku were finally about to start training.

The two stood up straight as Master Roshi lectured them. "All right, we're finally about to begin training in the Turtle School.

Before that, let me explain what martial arts are!"
