Vegeta Flies with His Wife; First Taste of High Gravity

Hearing this, Bulma immediately wore an "as I expected" expression and said helplessly, "Fine then, forget it."

"However, Gohan, remember to call your mother and your grandfather!"

"It's been a long time since we all gathered together; let's take this opportunity to have a good get-together!"

"The more people, the merrier!"

To this, Son Gohan readily agreed: "Yes, I will tell Mom and Grandpa."

Bulma nodded with satisfaction, then looked toward Krillin.

Before she even had to speak, Krillin took the initiative: "I know, I'll tell Master Roshi and Android 18."

Seeing this, Bulma beamed with joy and shot him an appreciative look.

"Then, we'll head over to start preparing!"

"Trunks, you'll have to take Mom back."

She had originally wanted Vegeta to take her back, but she knew his personality; with so many people around, he would certainly be too embarrassed to carry her while flying.

As for Tarble and Rix, it wouldn't be appropriate for them to carry her either.

And as for Yamcha, that was out of the question—she was afraid he would end up knocking over a jar of aged vinegar.

Therefore, only Trunks was the most suitable choice.

However.

Trunks didn't seem too keen: "Eh?"

"Mom, isn't Dad right here?"

"Can't you just let Dad take you back?"

Standing nearby, Vegeta felt his heart tighten abruptly upon hearing this.

Though he felt a flicker of anticipation and joy, his tsundere nature made him unable to help but curse internally:

You're not even willing to give your mother a ride back?

I'll have to teach you a lesson later!

Bulma hadn't originally intended to tease Vegeta, but hearing this, she suddenly thought it might be fun to mess with him.

Besides, they were husband and wife!

What was the big deal about giving her a lift?!

Thinking of this, a mischievous smirk appeared on her lips. She feigned a sudden realization and said to Vegeta, "Hey, Vegeta, your son doesn't want to take me back, so why don't you do it?"

Upon hearing this, a trace of joy, difficult for others to detect, flashed in the depths of Vegeta's eyes.

However, he kept a straight face, appearing completely reluctant.

He even scolded Trunks without mercy: "Trunks, if you disobey your mother's instructions again, watch out—I'll beat you!"

Seeing him act this way, Bulma knew she could hitch a ride on this "human airplane," so she walked over in high spirits: "Let's go, there are still so many things to prepare!"

As she spoke, she affectionately linked her arm through his powerful one.

Feeling her warmth, Vegeta's face immediately flushed with embarrassment. Looking like a bashful tough guy, he grumbled, "Don't stand so close to me!"

Before the words had even faded, he took off into the sky with Bulma, flying rapidly toward West City.

The speed was so fast that Tarble and the others didn't even have time to react before the two figures vanished into the horizon.

From the sky, Bulma's terrified and indignant shouting drifted down—

"VE--GE--TA!!!!"

Seeing this, everyone was left speechless.

"Eh?"

"Why is Dad flying so fast?" Trunks muttered, confused.

Hearing this, Tarble and the others held back their laughter.

They couldn't exactly tell him that Vegeta was just shy, could they?

"Rix, bring all the spaceships along," Tarble instructed Rix. "Nephew, could you help carry one of the ships as well?"

Rix replied promptly: "Yes, Your Highness."

"Eh, spaceships?" Trunks asked instinctively upon hearing this. "What spaceships?"

But as soon as he said it, he guessed the answer himself.

"Ah!"

"I know, you mean the ships you and Uncle Tarble used to come to Earth, right?"

Tarble nodded: "Yes, that's right."

Receiving the confirmation, Trunks agreed readily: "No problem!"

Those eyes, filled with curiosity, scanned the surroundings in search of the spaceships.

"Uncle, where are the spaceships?"

Tarble pointed toward four dirt pits not far away: "In those pits..."

Before he could even finish his sentence, Trunks and Son Goten had already dashed off, disappearing from sight.

Seeing this, the corner of Tarble's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Forget it, no point in bickering with little brats!

He then turned his gaze toward Son Gohan and the others.

"Well then, I'll see you all tonight!"

Seeing him act so polite, Piccolo and the others were surprised, yet they all responded in kind, agreeing to meet up again that evening.

Afterward, Son Gohan, Piccolo, and Krillin took their leave first.

As for Yamcha and Tien Shinhan, they offered to help transport one of the spaceships.

With help available, Tarble naturally had no reason to refuse and was happy to take it easy.

Bringing the spaceships back was, of course, to have Bulma help modify them into Gravity Chambers.

That way, it would be convenient for training.

On the way back, he also used his final binding slot to bind Son Goten.

The reason he chose him was simply because they wouldn't see each other often in the future.

Since he was staying at Bulma's house, he could bind Trunks whenever he had another slot available.

At this point.

The number of people bound was: 4, and the training effect multiplier was: 5x.

By evening, a welcome banquet was held at Bulma's house as scheduled, and it was incredibly lively.

Of course.

Son Goku could not be reached, so he did not return.

The banquet lasted until eight o'clock in the evening before it concluded.

The next day.

After breakfast.

An unusual event occurred, which was—Vegeta actually took the initiative to let Tarble use his Gravity Chamber for training.

As for himself, he would wait until the new Gravity Chamber was finished being modified before training.

This uncharacteristic behavior immediately caught Tarble's attention.

After all, this guy was not the type to yield to others so easily.

However, Tarble had intended to ask to borrow the Gravity Chamber anyway.

Since the other party had offered it up, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

At this moment.

Inside Vegeta's private Gravity Chamber.

Tarble and Rix were listening intently as Vegeta taught them how to operate the Gravity Chamber and explained the necessary precautions.

"...I have already told you how to operate it specifically."

"You need to adapt to high-gravity environments slowly; judge your own limits."

"Tarble..."

Vegeta's eyes flickered, but in the end, he didn't voice the thoughts in his mind. After dropping the line, "Train hard," he turned and left decisively.

He wanted to say that Tarble's talent might be even more formidable than he had imagined.

But how could he bring himself to say such a thing?

Moreover, that was merely his own speculation; the truth would reveal itself automatically after they trained for a while.

By then, even if he didn't say anything, Tarble might realize it on his own.

Tarble was left feeling a bit confused by his hesitant, stop-and-go demeanor.

If you have something to say, just say it. Being this indecisive doesn't suit you, Vegeta!

After mentally grumbling to himself, he cast the thought to the back of his mind.

He turned to Rix and commanded: "Rix, let's start by increasing it to 2 times Earth's gravity!"

"I've heard that the gravity on Planet Vegeta is 10 times that of Earth."

"Let's get a feel for it first, and then aim to adapt to 10 times Earth's gravity today."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Rix acknowledged the order and immediately pressed the button on the gravity control device.

Hum!

Tarble felt his body being pressed down hard by an invisible force.

It had become heavy!
