My Mayor Father

As for why she couldn't have children, she didn't actually know herself.

However, she recalled something from a very, very long time ago.

Her boss had once told her.

To have a child, a man and a woman must sleep in the same bed.

Otherwise, it was impossible to have children.

The Great Ape was so big, and she was so small; how could they possibly sleep in the same bed?

Therefore, it was impossible to have a child.

"Your Majesty..."

Thinking of the past, the young girl's expression couldn't help but turn dim.

Just then, a voice came booming from a helicopter.

"Komai, can you hear me? Komai, it's Daddy. Daddy is here to save you. Don't be afraid, Daddy will get you out."

A man with graying hair held a megaphone, shouting with a look of anxiety.

"Daddy?" The girl looked up at the helicopters in the sky.

Although she didn't know which helicopter the voice was coming from, a warm current instantly spread through her entire body, and she felt less afraid.

Even though this man was not her biological father, he treated her as his own and loved her very much.

Yes, this was her adoptive father, the mayor.

"Did you hear that? My daddy is here to save me," Komai said to the Great Ape.

The Great Ape ignored her question, looking stubborn: "Are you really unwilling to be my wife?"

Komai shook her head very firmly: "I am not. Please, let me go, okay? If you let me go, I will beg them to let you leave here safely."

"That won't do. Even if you aren't willing, I will take you away. You don't get to decide." As the Great Ape spoke, it gripped Komai tightly and stood up.

Its body was massive, as tall as an entire building.

As it stood up, the whole skyscraper creaked and groaned, swaying as if it might collapse.

The Great Ape looked at the helicopters flying in the sky, its face full of displeasure.

"Such annoying flies!"

It gripped Komai with one hand and swiped at the helicopters in the sky with the other.

The giant palm descended like a canopy of heaven, and the helicopters, seeing the danger, quickly fled.

Afterward, the Great Ape jumped down from the roof and strode away.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

Wherever it passed, it left deep footprints, the thudding sounds shaking the earth.

It even trampled several humans to death.

How could the helicopters in the sky just let it leave with the hostage? They immediately gave chase.

Seeing these humans were so ungrateful, the Great Ape's temper flared up.

"ROAR~"

It let out a massive roar and swiped wildly at the aircraft. One plane was unfortunately struck in the tail, trailing thick smoke as it plummeted from the sky.

"Oh no!"

Seeing this, Videl, who was standing on the roof of a building, paced back and forth in anxiety.

Although she had learned the Flight Technique, her flight speed was not fast, and the disparity in power was too great; even if she followed, she couldn't defeat this giant ape.

"Strange, why hasn't Trunks arrived yet? Was he delayed by something on the way?"

Watching the smoke-filled plane crash, Videl grew increasingly anxious.

Just then, a figure wreathed in an aura pierced into the battlefield from the distant sky.

Trunks had finally arrived.

"Phew, he's finally here." Videl breathed a sigh of relief.

Trunks flashed, appearing instantly beneath the crashing plane.

He held the plane up with both hands, helped it land safely, then tore the plane's door off with one hand and vanished once more.

The pilot jumped out of the plane, staring dumbfounded in the direction Trunks had left, shocked beyond measure.

Was this person a human, or a god?

At this moment, Videl held a microphone in her hand and shouted orders:

"Attention all action teams, attention all action teams. Our reinforcements have arrived. Please cease rescue operations, please cease rescue operations. Leave everything to him to handle."

Videl knew that Son Gohan and Trunks were both Super Warriors, possessing power so formidable it defied logic.

There was no need to think about helping them; as long as they didn't get in the way, that was enough. Otherwise, they would only complicate the rescue and increase casualties.

The rescue team obeyed the order, pulling back to the side and no longer doggedly following the Great Ape.

Their original mission had only been to stall for time anyway.

Looking at such a massive ape, they had been terrified to follow it in the first place.

Trunks turned into a streak of white light, instantly intercepting the Great Ape's path.

Seeing a human as tiny as a mouse daring to block its way, the charging Great Ape's eyes flashed with malice, and its massive palm swiped out like it was swatting a fly.

"No!" Komai screamed.

But how could the Great Ape listen to her? It struck without mercy.

Full power! Kill the one blocking the way.

"BOOM!"

A shocking scene unfolded.

It was the massive ape that went flying backward, its backside flipping into the air as it tumbled across the ground like a rolling gourd.

"Ho... how?" The hundred-meter-tall Great Ape sat up, staring in shock at Trunks, who stood motionless in the sky.

This—this brat hadn't been crushed to death by its palm.

Instead, the bones in its own arm had been shattered.

How was this possible?

Its palm alone was more than several times larger than that boy.

This made no sense, absolutely no sense; its father had never told it about such things.

"ROAR~"

A beast is a beast, after all, with limited intelligence.

The intense pain in its arm ignited its ferocity, and it roared loudly at Trunks.

Dizzy and nearly fainting from being tossed around, Komai stared at Trunks in utter disbelief.

This youth was completely fine, while the Great Ape was the one injured?

It was too incredible.

The scene before her couldn't help but remind her of Son Goku from many years ago.

That's right, Son Goku.

This youth also had a tail.

Wasn't he the same type of expert?

In an instant, hope ignited in Komai's eyes.

Trunks stood high in the air, looking at the crazed Great Ape, and said coldly, "Big guy, roaring is useless. You smell of blood; you've killed people, so I will kill you too."

"ROAR~ Die, die!" The Great Ape had fallen into madness and couldn't care less about such things, charging at Trunks once again.

Yet, even so, it still clutched Komai tightly in its hand; it was unknown where such a deep obsession came from.

The giant ape sprinted forward, every step shaking the earth and sending dust flying in its wake.

Trunks pressed his middle and index fingers together, gathered energy, and fired it in an instant.

An energy beam shot from his fingertips, instantly blowing apart the Great Ape's head.

As the skull exploded, the Great Ape's legs went limp, and its body collapsed forward.

Because it had been running, momentum caused the hand that was tightly gripping Komai to swing forward violently, as if it had thrown her with great force.

"Ahhh~"

Komai closed her eyes in terror, letting out a shrill scream.

Trunks flashed forward, instantly intercepting Komai.

"Stop screaming."

"Eek~" Komai opened her eyes and found herself in Trunks's arms, her face flushing bright red.

"You're safe now; that Great Ape has been killed by me," Trunks said.

"Th-thank you," Komai said, stealing a glance at Trunks's face.

"Don't thank me, I'm just here to help my sister," Trunks said, then flew toward Videl while carrying Komai.

Soon, Trunks found Videl and set Komai down.

"Sister Videl, mission accomplished as requested," Trunks said with a smile.

Videl looked at the completely unharmed Komai, then smiled and said, "Thank you, Trunks. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have known what to do."

"It was nothing."

"How about this? Big Sister will treat you to a grand feast. Afterward, I'll apply for a bonus from the police department for you."

"Although I know you certainly aren't lacking for money, this is the only thing Big Sister can do. Besides, this is money you earned yourself."

"Alright, then I'm going to eat a huge meal," Trunks laughed.

"Um, that, could I go eat with you guys? I'll pay," Komai said from the side, stammering.
