Seeing Son Gohan suddenly grow a little serious, Bulma—who rarely held back—said nothing. She simply took his hand in silence.
Though there were many things she didn't understand, she supported and liked whatever Gohan wanted to do. Perhaps that was simply how girls acted when they were sunk deep in the swamp of love.
Since they were at Bulma's house, Son Gohan didn't dare stay in her room when they needed somewhere to sleep after dinner. Early the next morning, after finishing their basic training, the two of them said their goodbyes.
The World Martial Arts Tournament was just around the corner. They had already prepared two backup plans in case they arrived too late to register, but naturally, it would be best if they could sign up in person.
After failing to persuade the Brief Couple to come watch the Martial Arts Tournament with them, the two boarded their plane. Before they left, Brief made a promise: he told Son Gohan that the Gravity Room was well on its way to being ready.
They agreed that after the tournament, when they came back with Bulma, they would test out the Gravity Room.
Once everything was settled, he and Bulma hurried straight to the city where the World Martial Arts Tournament was being held...
After more than a day of travel, Son Gohan finally managed to register before the deadline and reunite with Master Roshi and the others.
"Whew, good thing you made it! If you'd been any later, Goku probably would've had to turn into you and sign you up!"
Master Roshi let out a sigh of relief and spoke with a laugh.
During the last few days after Son Gohan had left, Master Roshi learned that Son Gohan had already arranged for Goku to serve as a backup.
