"You know the story of the Dragon Balls too!"

Bulma turned back in shock, blurting out the words subconsciously.

But she quickly regretted it and hurriedly covered her mouth, preventing herself from revealing more information and adding complications to her quest to collect the Dragon Balls.

Son Goku, who was outside dealing with a large fish, heard the commotion and rushed into the house.

When he saw Bulma standing before the altar, eager to act, his face tensed. With a flash, he blocked Bulma's path.

"You're not allowed to have designs on Grandpa!"

Seeing this, Son Gohan couldn't help but cover his face.

"I told you, Goku, how many times have I told you, this isn't Grandpa."

"That's what you say, but it's Grandpa's only memento!"

"And it's been flashing these past two days. Grandpa must have something to say to us!"

Bulma looked at Son Goku in surprise, blinked, and said.

"Maybe... maybe the other Dragon Balls I brought resonated with it!"

She took off the backpack from behind her and pulled out two more Dragon Balls, shining brightly.

"Look, this is one I found in my house's warehouse, and this one I picked up in the valley to the north."

Seeing that she could no longer hide it, she decided to reveal everything she knew.

"The storybook says that if you find the legendary seven Dragon Balls, you can have many wishes granted!"

Her eyes were full of longing.

"What wish should I make? How about a perfect boyfriend!"

As she spoke, Bulma fell into her own fantasy world, and for a moment, only her somewhat "lewd" laughter filled the room.

"Oh, I know about this. Actually, summoning the Shenron to make a wish is real, not just a story."

Son Gohan broke her reverie at this moment. Recalling his previous gaffe, Bulma coughed awkwardly and quickly changed the subject.

"Really? I was just bored at home and decided to go on an adventure. Now I have to search even harder!"

"So, Mr. Sun, both of you, could you lend me this Four-Star Ball? I'll return it after I'm done."

She blinked her eyes, looking hopefully at Son Goku and Son Gohan, trying to entice them into agreeing with her cuteness.

Unfortunately, this wave of charm was like throwing a wink at a blind man for Son Goku. His clear mind remained completely undisturbed.

As for Son Gohan, although he hadn't seen a beautiful young woman in a long time, he wasn't so infatuated as to lose his mind.

He responded with a hint of difficulty.

"This... isn't it too good? Like Wukong said, this is Grandpa's relic; it's very important to us."

"And after the wish is granted, the Dragon Balls will fly away on their own. Then we won't be able to find this Four-Star Ball anymore."

He feigned a sigh of regret, as if full of sorrow.

After hearing Gohan's words, Son Goku's face became even more nervous. He quickly turned around and hugged the shining Four-Star Ball behind him, as if afraid it would disappear if he wasn't careful.

"You don't need to be nervous. There are only three Dragon Balls so far, and if you use them to make a wish, you can also revive Grandpa."

Seeing Son Goku's nervous expression, Son Gohan quickly comforted him.

It couldn't be helped. Saiyans were prone to stubborn mistakes. Later, when Son Gohan took them up the mountain.

Because the two were roughhousing, Son Goku accidentally fell into a valley and hit his head, causing him to lose his memory. From then on, he became somewhat "frank and straightforward."

While this was naturally top-tier talent for comprehending martial arts, there were always deficiencies in his daily life.

"Oh! Really!"

Unlike the Son Goku of the parallel world who was alone, because of Son Gohan's presence, he had known early on that it was his Great Ape transformation that had accidentally crushed his grandfather to death, so he felt very guilty.

"That's for sure. As far as I know, Shenron is a magical item created by Kami. It's not surprising that it can revive the dead!"

Patting Son Goku's head, Son Gohan knew what he was thinking at that moment. He hadn't thought about reviving Grandpa Son Gohan, but when he thought about how the old man was currently flirting with a girl at Mount Five Elements, acting as the head of security.

He was quite busy and happy, so he didn't want to disturb the old man's twilight romance.

"Since you two also have wishes to fulfill, why don't we team up to search for the Dragon Balls together!"

Bulma thought of Son Goku's monstrous abilities again, so she extended an invitation to the brothers to form a team.

Seeing Son Goku look at her with confusion, she quickly continued to explain.

"It's okay for everyone to make wishes. I've developed the Dragon Radar in my spare time. It can track the Dragon Balls by tracing the magnetic wave signals they emit!"

To prove her words, Bulma rummaged through her backpack and pulled out a small round disk.

Son Goku and Son Gohan leaned in together to look at the mechanical dial in her hand.

"Look here, these three clustered points are the three Dragon Balls we have in hand. The remaining four are located here, here, and here!"

As her finger moved, Son Gohan took in all the light sources.

"It really is! (⊙_⊙) Sigh!"

Son Goku exclaimed in surprise.

"Then let's set off right away!"

Since he already knew the magical ability of the Dragon Balls could resurrect his grandfather, he was naturally eager to depart.

Seeing Wukong suddenly excited, Son Gohan scratched his head awkwardly.

"I say, no matter how anxious you are, shouldn't we fill our stomachs before hitting the road!"

"Rumble~"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sound came from Son Goku's stomach.

"Ah, haha, then let's fill our stomachs first!"

In his excitement, he had forgotten his empty stomach. Son Goku laughed heartily.

"You guy, you really are heartless, thinking of one thing after another!"

Although Son Gohan complained, he still consciously placed the ingredients Son Goku had already prepared onto the grill.

For the past few years, Wukong had always hunted while he cooked. With his skills from his previous life and a few years of practice, the food he made wasn't bad.

The appetites of the two brothers were terrifyingly large. A single meal could consume the entire Giant Beast they hunted that day, so cooking became a physically demanding task.

After they finished dinner and packed their belongings, they prepared to depart.

However, they encountered some difficulty in choosing their mode of transportation.

"I'm really sorry, I only have one Motorcycle here, and it can't carry all of us."

Bulma, who had retrieved a Motorcycle from her Hoi-Poi Capsule space, looked troubled.

"There's no need to worry. There's no time to explain, get on quickly!"

Son Gohan looked at the wildly styled Motorcycle and could no longer hold back. He threw his bag onto Son Goku and straddled the front of the bike.

"Wukong still needs to train, he can follow along running. You sit behind me!"

Bulma stared blankly at him, then at Son Goku's short stature, feeling like something was off.

"Okay, okay, let's go! I definitely won't lose to this metal monster!"

Son Goku spread his arms, the Ruyi Staff on his back, and carried their bags on either side. He slightly bent his knees and sprang forward.

"Then we're off! Dragon Ball Squad!"

Bulma cheered gleefully and jumped onto the Motorcycle.

"Go go go!"
