Jaco: A terrifying Saiyan is coming to Earth!

"Raditz, what did I tell you earlier? Don't kill people so easily. Keep a peaceful heart!" Soya reminded him.

"Fine. That guy got lucky," Raditz readily agreed.

The four of them went to another stall and ordered some snacks.

"What about the ice cream?" Soya suddenly asked.

"Ah... I forgot... Those thugs stopped me on the way..." Tights slapped her forehead. "I'll go buy some now!"

"No rush. We can have it later." Soya waved a hand.

"Okay." Tights nodded obediently, then asked curiously, "By the way, Jaco, did you come to Earth to conquer the world?"

"Wasn't I clear enough just now?" Jaco's face darkened. He folded his arms and snorted. "I'm an elite patrolman who maintains peace in the galaxy. Why would I come here to conquer the world?"

"Then what are you doing on Earth?" Raditz looked up and asked.

"Kid, when adults are talking, children shouldn't butt in." Jaco glared at him.

Raditz: "..."

Raditz trembled with anger, wishing he could slap Jaco to death.

"My spaceship had a malfunction and landed on this planet by accident... It'll cost a lot to repair it... I'm trying to figure out how to get the money," Jaco said with a sigh.

"A spaceship? Can I play with it?" Tights's eyes sparkled.

Jaco wiped away some sweat.

Was a spaceship a toy?

"I want to become a science fiction writer. I want to write exciting, cool sci-fi adventure novels," Tights said with a smile. "So I left home and wandered around to find inspiration... I never thought I'd run into an alien here."

What she didn't realize was... all three of the people she'd met were aliens. Raditz grinned and whispered in Soya's ear.

"You talk too much. If you keep quiet, nobody will think you're mute." Soya scolded him.

Raditz: "..."

Why are you being so harsh?

I'm just telling the truth.

"Negative Emotion Points +555 from Raditz!"

"You're still going to complain?" Soya glared at him.

Raditz jolted.

How did you know I was grumbling to myself?

"No, no, I wouldn't dare!" Raditz waved his hands in a panic, his expression changing again and again.

That guy had a battle power of 10,000!

I can't afford to provoke him!

One slap from him could turn me into a meat pie.

What Raditz didn't know was that Soya's battle power had already climbed to nearly 15,000.

"Negative Emotion Points +666 from Raditz!"

"Negative Emotion Points from Raditz..."

For a while, Raditz's Negative Emotion Points kept refreshing.

Soya secretly rejoiced.

Bringing this kid along really had been a great choice.

"Actually... Forget it. I won't say," Jaco began, then forced the words back down.

"You're no fun... Who stops halfway through a sentence? Hurry up and tell us!" Tights pouted in annoyance and glared fiercely at Jaco. "I hate people who leave their sentences unfinished!"

"Hey... I'm the one who saved your life... That's going too far," Jaco said, his face darkening.

"What are you talking about? Even if you hadn't come, Soya would've saved me." Tights knew Soya was strong.

He could even fly. Surely he could handle a few thugs?

"Th-this pretty boy?" Jaco turned and studied Soya carefully.

Incidentally, because Soya and Raditz had both changed into casual clothes, Jaco hadn't recognized them.

After all, judging by their appearance, Soya and Raditz looked much like ordinary Earthlings.

Besides, they had wrapped their tails around their waists, making them look like furry belts.

At Jaco's words, Raditz shuddered.

This Galactic Patrolman named Jaco was in for trouble.

How dare he call Soya a pretty boy!

Didn't he know Soya was a demon?

He'd even dared to mess with Frieza!

Soya merely smiled and said nothing.

Still, Jaco suddenly felt that the guy's smile was awfully smug.

"Who are you calling a pretty boy? Don't go judging people by their looks when you're wearing a mask yourself," Tights said with a huff, the first to take offense.

Jaco: "..."

"Negative Emotion Points +666 from Jaco!"

Soya paused for a moment.

Tights had insulted Jaco. Why was Jaco giving me Negative Emotion Points? I hadn't said a thing!

"I get it. You must be jealous of how handsome I am," Soya said with a sigh.

"Y-you! What are you talking about? Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Jaco glared at Soya, who had hit the nail on the head.

"Negative Emotion Points +666 from Jaco!"

Soya couldn't help marveling. He'd actually guessed right.

Was being handsome a crime now?

Huh? Come to think of it, Bulma had said something like that in the future, too.

Maybe it was fate.

"Jaco, hurry up and finish what you were saying!" Tights urged him.

"You really want to hear it?" Jaco rolled his eyes. "You're the one who asked me to tell you."

"You're making it sound like something terrifying happened," Tights scoffed.

"It really is something terrifying!" Jaco's voice grew heavy. Lowering it, he spoke softly to Soya and the others. "Don't spread this around yet. We don't want to cause a panic."

"Quit stalling and tell us what it is!" Tights demanded, fuming. "Why do you have so much to say?"

"All right, I'll tell you." Jaco nodded. "A terrifying alien is going to land on Earth and kill every human here! So while you're still alive, eat plenty of good food and cherish the time you have left."

"What?" Tights shook her head and snorted, not taking him seriously. "Isn't that a common sci-fi trope?"

Jaco: "..."

"This isn't science fiction. It's the truth!" Jaco insisted gravely. "I'm telling you, the ones coming to Earth belong to a special race called the Saiyans."

Raditz looked excited and pointed at his own nose.

I'm a Saiyan.

Are you talking about Soya and me?

Soya and I aren't planning to kill all the people on Earth.

"Kid, if you want to pick your nose, do it yourself. You expect me to pick it for you? I'm a Galactic Patrolman, not your babysitter!" Jaco scolded him irritably.

Raditz: "..."

"Soya, can I beat him to death?" Raditz asked, furious.

"What's your battle power now?" Soya asked.

"It was five times higher just now, and it's almost been an hour. If I drink another sip, it might go up again." Raditz paused, then quickly took out the Battle God Water and drank some.

Soya watched Raditz, his little lab rat, with eager anticipation.

Raditz scratched his head.

Why do I feel like you're watching me the way a cat watches a mouse?

That look of yours is terrifying.

"Negative Emotion Points +555 from Raditz!"
