Dating Me for the Gravity Chamber?

Bulma regretted it a little.

If she'd known she'd run into robbers on her way home from school, she would've listened to Son Mirai when they'd collected all the Dragon Balls.

She should've wished to become stronger, strong enough to withstand bullets, instead of wishing to stay young forever...

Just as Bulma was regretting it,

the leader of the robbers immediately scolded his underling. "We're robbing them, so act like a professional!

If you've got money, you can find any woman you want.

Hurry up and take her Capsule. We need to get out of here."

"Yes, boss!"

Hearing the leader say they'd leave once he got the Capsule, Bulma breathed a sigh of relief and quickly handed it over.

"H-here. You can have the Capsule, but don't hurt us..."

"Don't worry, little girl. We're professionals!"

The robber took the Capsule and saw that it contained a House Capsule. His face lit up with delight.

"Boss, there's a house in here!"

The leader laughed. "Ha ha, we hit the jackpot! Let's get out of here!"

The two put away the Capsule, then stole Bulma's Flying Motorcycle. They rode off together on it in a hurry.

Bulma, Amy, and the others had just breathed a sigh of relief when sirens rang out around them.

The next moment, the two robbers came back.

They pointed the black muzzles of their guns at Bulma and the others.

The students were all dumbfounded.

As the sirens drew nearer, a group of police officers gradually surrounded them.

Keeping an eye on the police, the robber shouted, "Clear a path for us, or I'll kill the hostages!"

Suddenly, Amy's boyfriend pushed his way out of the crowd of police officers.

He shouted, "You brazen robbers! How dare you threaten the police? Put down your weapons and surrender at once!"

Amy was stunned when she saw him. "John, were you the one who called the police?"

John immediately tried to reassure her. "Don't be scared, Amy. My uncle's a police officer.

I'll find a way to get you all out of there!"

Even with a gun pointed at her, Amy couldn't help cursing him out.

"Like hell I'm scared!!!

Let's put aside the fact that you ditched me and ran off.

They'd already let us go, and then you came along and blocked them again, you idiot!"

The other students glared at John, their anger palpable.

John didn't know what to say.

"So I was wrong to call the police?"

The officer beside him immediately picked up a megaphone and called out, "Don't put up a pointless resistance! Release the hostages and surrender at once. It'll go easier for you!"

The leader fired a shot into the air. Bulma and the students all covered their ears and crouched down.

The robber leader roared, "Quit the damn chatter!

I'm counting to ten. If you don't clear the way, I'll kill someone!"

"One, two, three..."

His deadly countdown began, but no one budged.

At that moment, a log came hurtling down from the sky and slammed into the road at an angle.

Son Mirai rolled through the air and landed smoothly on the ground.

Everyone stared at Son Mirai in astonishment.

"Did he just fly by stepping on a log?"

What a show-off way to travel!

Son Mirai glanced around and quickly spotted Bulma.

"Bulma, I've been waiting at your house for ages. What are you doing? Why haven't you come home?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed her classmates, the police, and the masked men, and paused in surprise.

Only then did he realize that Bulma seemed to have been robbed.

The robber leader had also been startled by Son Mirai's Log-Riding Flight.

He immediately pointed his gun at Amy's temple and threatened Son Mirai.

"You! Put your hands up, or I'll make you regret it!!"

Son Mirai replied calmly, "Sorry, I don't know her that well!"

The leader was taken aback.

Damn it, this guy wasn't a cop, and threats wouldn't work on him...

But the underling was worried Son Mirai might ruin their escape. While his boss was talking to him, he secretly aimed at Son Mirai and pulled the trigger.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

He fired three shots in a row.

The three gunshots rang out almost simultaneously. The crowd screamed and covered their heads.

But when they looked, the bloodshed they'd expected never came.

Everyone turned to Son Mirai. He had his palm open, and three smoking bullets fell to the ground.

Time seemed to stand still.

The robbers' eyes widened, their gun hands frozen in midair.

Bulma's classmates were practically turned to stone. They'd even forgotten to breathe.

The police officers stood there with their mouths agape, forgetting what to do next.

The officer swallowed hard.

"H-he caught bullets with his bare hands?"

"It's been a long time since I've seen a fighter this powerful!"

Son Mirai vanished in a flash. The next moment, the two robbers fell with a scream.

He'd twisted their two pistols into knots with his bare hands and tossed them onto the ground.

The air fell silent once more.

Then a scream broke the silence.

Amy shouted, "I remember now! You—you're Bulma's boyfriend!"

The police hurried into action and handcuffed the two unconscious robbers.

They were safe now, and the students crowded around. Their fear was replaced by shock and excitement.

"Bulma! Your boyfriend's so strong!"

"Yeah, he's a martial artist, and he caught bullets with his bare hands! That's amazing!"

"Sorry, I was wrong before. I take back what I said about martial artists."

"That move just now was a hundred times cooler than anything you'd see in an action movie!"

Amy gave Son Mirai a long look, then glanced at Bulma with envy.

"Bulma, I think I understand why you never let him come to school!"

"You're worried someone will steal him away, right?"

Bulma smirked, looking pleased and smug.

"Not at all!

I'm a gorgeous, gentle genius. I'm not worried about anyone stealing him!"

Just then, John pushed his way over, looking ashamed as he reached for Amy's hand.

"Amy, I'm sorry!

I pushed you aside because I was scared!

But then I went to get the police to save you all...

I was wrong. Will you forgive me?"

Amy jerked her hand away and snapped, "John, the moment you left me behind and ran off, we were over!"

She looked at Son Mirai, then at Bulma.

"Bulma, I won't lose to you. I'm going to find myself a martial artist boyfriend too!"

The crowd was soon dispersed, and the robbers were taken away.

Bulma climbed onto her Flying Motorcycle and took Son Mirai with her.

As she rode, Bulma said, "Thank goodness you came to find me this time. Otherwise, I'd have been in danger!"

Son Mirai replied indifferently, "It's fine. You wouldn't have been in danger even if I hadn't come..."

Bulma said, "How could you say that?

You didn't see how dangerous it was just now. They had their guns pointed at us. I was about to cry..."

As she spoke, a shy look appeared on Bulma's face.

"Anyway, you saved me this time. Tell me, what reward do you want? I'll give you anything you want..."

Son Mirai's eyes lit up. "Your dad called to tell me the Gravity Chamber is ready.

So I was thinking I'd take a break from hanging out with you for the next couple of days and spend them experiencing the Gravity Chamber..."

Bulma suddenly turned around and glared at Son Mirai.

"Son Mirai!!"

Son Mirai felt the murderous aura rolling off Bulma and grew a little uneasy.

"What is it?"

Bulma asked, enunciating every word, "You jerk, are you dating me just for the Gravity Chamber?"
