Miss Bulma, Squeeze In With Soro

"Really?" Son Goku was both surprised and delighted, his eyes lighting up. "Is that really possible?"

"Thank you, Soro." Krillin was overcome with excitement, his hands clenching into fists in front of him.

"You've been a huge help, Soro." Son Goku thanked him hurriedly.

"It's nothing." Soro smiled faintly and waved his hand. "I just shared what I happened to know."

"That's great!" Krillin rubbed his hands together, his fingers frictioning against each other as a look of deep anticipation appeared on his face. "Maybe Chiaotzu can be revived after all!"

"Ugh!" Bulma let out a soft sigh, slowly shaking her head with her arms crossed. "Laymen are so naive! How could something like that possibly be achieved?"

"Why do you say that, Miss Bulma?" Krillin asked, tilting his head in confusion.

"Krillin, let me ask you first." Bulma turned to look directly at him. "Do you even know where Namek is located?"

"Huh?" Krillin was momentarily speechless; he opened his mouth, then closed it again.

"It's fine." Soro smiled, his tone relaxed. "I know! My spaceship has the coordinates for Namek."

"Oh? Really?" Bulma grew excited as well, her eyes brightening.

"But... Soro." Krillin thought about how small Soro's spaceship was and asked quickly, his brow furrowed. "Can your ship only fit one person?"

"It can barely squeeze in two!" Soro mused, tapping his chin with his finger.

"That's perfect!" Krillin's eyes lit up, and he immediately proposed with an excited grin, "Miss Bulma, why don't you squeeze in with Soro and make the trip to Namek?"

Bulma: "..."

Bulma's face flushed a deep red, the color spreading from her neck to her earlobes. She opened her mouth, then shut it again.

Soro took a long look at Krillin.

His gaze lingered on Krillin's face for two seconds.

This kid has guts!

He wants me and Bulma to squeeze into such a cramped spaceship?

At that ship's flight speed, it would take at least a week to reach Namek.

What exactly would Bulma and I be doing on that ship?

The corners of Soro's mouth curled up slightly, then he quickly suppressed the expression.

At this moment, Soro even found himself missing the 100 cat-eared beauties on Atlantis.

What are they doing right now?

Are they thinking of me?

"What are you talking about!" Bulma stomped her foot in anger, the sole of her shoe hitting the metal floor with a loud thud.

She glared at Krillin, her eyes practically spitting fire.

"It's the only way." Krillin sighed, spreading his hands. "We can't just let Soro go alone; it was our friend who died... that wouldn't be right."

He paused, his gaze darting back and forth between Bulma and Soro.

"So, having Miss Bulma go with Soro is simply the best solution."

"I want to go to Namek and see it too!" Son Goku scratched his head from the side, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"If we are going to Namek," Piccolo said in a deep voice, arms crossed and gaze firm, "I'm going too!"

"That ship..." Krillin rubbed his bald head, his fingers scrubbing against his scalp. "It can't fit that many people, can it?"

Bulma took a deep breath, steadying her emotions.

She looked at Soro with a gentle expression and proposed softly, "Soro, could your spaceship be modified? If we modify it, I think it wouldn't be a problem for all of us to go. It would only take two months to finish the upgrades!"

"Sure, no problem." Soro nodded and agreed readily, a smile playing on his lips.

"Bulma." Son Goku asked quickly, "Since you're modifying the spaceship, could you help me add a gravity training device?"

"Gravity training?" Bulma blinked, tilting her head.

"Simply put, it's a device that can adjust gravity." Son Goku explained, gesturing with his hands. "I trained at King Kai's place, and that planet's gravity is ten times that of Earth's, which is why my strength improved so drastically."

He paused, his gaze turning resolute.

"It should take a long time to fly from here to Namek, right? I can't just sit around idle; I want to become stronger!"

"Soro." Krillin asked, "Do you know how long it takes to get from here to Namek?"

"About seven days or so," Soro replied, his tone calm.

"Can you add the gravity training?" Son Goku asked expectantly, his eyes shining.

"How much gravity do you need?" Bulma asked, tapping her chin.

"At least 100 times Earth's gravity!" Son Goku thought for a moment before stating his requirement, his fists clenching.

"100 times gravity!" Bulma nodded, her expression turning serious. "Alright! That shouldn't be a problem!"

Twenty minutes later.

The airship landed in the courtyard of Bulma's home.

"Creak!"

The hatch opened, and white mist surged out from the gap.

Before this, Bulma had already called her parents and asked them to prepare a sumptuous feast.

Soro stepped out of the hatch, his feet landing on the soft grass.

He took a deep breath, the air filled with the scent of flowers and fresh grass.

Bulma's mansion was massive, even more magnificent than the palace he had on Atlantis Planet.

The lawn was trimmed neatly, and the fountain shimmered with golden light under the setting sun.

"This way!" Bulma walked in front with a light step, turning back to wave at Soro.

The group crossed the courtyard and entered the dining room.

The table was laden with all kinds of dishes.

Roast meat, stews, salads, soups, fruits, desserts... the table was completely full.

It was steaming hot and smelled delicious.

Soro didn't stand on ceremony and joined in, eating to his heart's content.

After a few bites of the Earth cuisine, Soro's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Two lines of tears slid down his cheeks, dripping onto the dining table.

Son Goku was startled, half a chicken leg still stuffed in his mouth, and asked vaguely, "Soro? What's wrong?"

Krillin was also stunned, his chopsticks hovering in mid-air.

Bulma set down her bowl and looked at Soro with concern.

"It's nothing." Soro sniffled, wiped his tears with the back of his hand, and his voice trembled slightly, "It's just too delicious."

Atlantis Planet was smaller than Earth, only about the size of Mars.

Crops and the like were relatively scarce there.

There weren't even potatoes or sweet potatoes, let alone tomatoes.

There was no cumin or chili pepper either.

Even eating roast meat, Soro never felt truly satisfied.

Having stayed there for twenty-five years, he had almost forgotten what these flavors were like.

In fact, this was also one of the reasons he detested Vegeta and Nappa so much.

Although the planet was decent, it lacked many of the delicacies that should have been there.

The one thing the planet didn't lack was seafood.

All kinds of hairy crabs, large shrimp, abalone, sea cucumber, and so on...

But eating seafood every single day, one would definitely get sick of it.

Especially abalone; Soro had truly eaten his fill of that.
