Fifth Junior Brother

"Then I'll go answer the phone?"

"Okay!"

Android 8 walked over to the phone and picked up the receiver.

"Hello!"

"Hello, is this Android 8? It's Bulma. I have something I need to talk to Wukong about; could you let him take the call?"

"Okay!"

Android 8 said, turning his head to look at Sun Wukong.

"Wukong, it's a call from Bulma. She says she has something to discuss with you!"

Sun Wukong hesitated for a moment before walking over to take the phone.

"Hello!"

"Hello, is that Wukong? It's Bulma. I was in the wrong today, and I want to apologize! I promise I won't force you to make a choice ever again! Wukong, please don't be angry anymore. How about you come back and stay the night?"

"Then you and Chi-Chi... are you still going to fight?"

"We won't! As long as you come back, the two of us won't fight anymore!"

Sun Wukong remained hesitant after hearing this.

Just then, Chi-Chi's voice suddenly rang out from the other end of the line.

"Alright, you've said enough to Wukong; it's my turn to talk to him now!"

"But Wukong hasn't answered me yet, you savage woman!"

"..."

"Bulma, I think I'd better come back tomorrow instead!"

"Beep, beep..."

As soon as Sun Wukong finished speaking, he immediately hung up the phone.

After the line went dead, Bulma, who had already been suppressing her temper, began arguing with Chi-Chi once again.

The next morning.

After finishing breakfast at Android 8's house, Sun Wukong returned to Bulma's place.

"Good morning, Wukong!"

As soon as Sun Wukong reached the backyard, he saw Chi-Chi waiting for him.

"Good morning! Where's Bulma?"

"She's probably still sleeping!"

Chi-Chi felt a bit displeased hearing Sun Wukong mention another woman's name.

"Is that so!"

No sooner had the words left her mouth than Bulma came running out of the house.

"Wukong, you're back!"

Sun Wukong nodded.

"Have you eaten breakfast yet?"

"I already ate at Android 8's place!"

"Then you aren't angry about yesterday anymore, right?"

"I'm not angry!"

"That's good!"

Bulma smiled.

"By the way, Bulma, Chi-Chi, I haven't seen Master Roshi and the others in a long time, so I'm planning to go visit them today!"

"Mm, okay!"

Bulma nodded.

"Wukong, I haven't seen Master Mutaito and the others in a long time either. Why don't I go with you?"

Chi-Chi said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately glanced at Bulma.

He saw Bulma suddenly looking at him with a face full of smiles.

"Wukong, I don't have anything to do today anyway. Why don't I go with you too?"

"...Alright!"

As soon as the words left her lips, Bulma and Chi-Chi immediately locked eyes with each other.

Then, Chi-Chi looked at Sun Wukong with a smile once more and asked, "So, Wukong, when are we going to Master Mutaito's place?"

"In... a little while!"

Sun Wukong had originally intended to go to Master Roshi's to hide for a bit, but he hadn't expected them to want to tag along.

After a short while, Sun Wukong used Instant Transmission to bring Bulma and Chi-Chi to Turtle Hermit Island.

Master Roshi happened to be stepping out just as they arrived and spotted Sun Wukong and the others.

"Long time no see, Grandpa Master Roshi!"

Sun Wukong greeted Master Roshi with a smile.

"Could you be... Wukong?"

Master Roshi stared at Sun Wukong in astonishment.

A year ago, Sun Wukong had been about the same height as Krillin, yet in just one year, he had grown so tall.

Moreover, Krillin was a year older than Sun Wukong, yet he was still roughly the same height as before.

That kid Krillin, his height must have plateaued, Master Roshi thought to himself.

"That's right, Grandpa Master Roshi!"

"And who is she?"

Master Roshi looked toward Chi-Chi.

"She is the Ox-King's daughter, Chi-Chi!"

"Long time no see, Master Mutaito!"

"Long time no see!"

As Master Roshi spoke, he glanced over at Bulma standing to the side.

Bulma shot him a cold look and raised her right hand, clenching it into a fist.

Master Roshi immediately averted his gaze and said, "By the way, Wukong, what brings you all here today?"

"I haven't seen you all in a long time, so I came to visit!"

"I see!"

Just then, the door to the Turtle House opened, and two bald figures, one tall and one short, stepped out.

They were none other than Krillin and Tien Shinhan.

After the two walked out, Chiaotzu, Yamcha, and Puar also emerged from the house.

"Bulma!"

As Krillin approached Master Roshi and the others, he quickly greeted Bulma.

"Long time no see, Krillin!"

Bulma replied, then looked toward Tien Shinhan and the others.

"Aren't you Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, and Yamcha?"

"That's right!"

The three of them nodded.

"Then why are you all here?"

"We've become disciples of Master Mutaito!" Tien Shinhan said.

"What! You all actually became Master Roshi's disciples too?" Bulma asked, looking surprised.

"That's right!"

Tien Shinhan said, then looked at Sun Wukong and asked, "You wouldn't happen to be Sun Wukong, would you?"

"That's right! Why do you ask?" Sun Wukong laughed.

"Wha... what! You're Senior Brother Wukong?"

Krillin stared at Sun Wukong in disbelief.

It was clear that the two of them had been about the same height back then, but now, he couldn't even reach Sun Wukong's shoulders.

He suddenly felt that the world was so bleak, and that the heavens were so unfair.

"Yeah!"

Sun Wukong said, looking toward Yamcha.

"Krillin, is Yamcha also a disciple of Master Roshi now?"

"Yeah! Why do you ask?"

"Nothing! Just asking! If Tien Shinhan is the third junior brother and Chiaotzu is the fourth, then Yamcha must be the fifth junior brother!"

"Fifth... fifth junior brother!"

Hearing how Sun Wukong addressed him, Yamcha immediately gritted his teeth in anger.

If what Sun Wukong just said was true, he would be the disciple with the lowest seniority under Master Roshi.

"Then, Senior Brother Wukong, who is she?"

"She is the Ox-King's daughter, Chi-Chi!"

Because Krillin had never met Chi-Chi before, he did not recognize her.

"Hello!"

Chi-Chi smiled and greeted Krillin.

"Hello!"

Krillin smiled and replied.

Then, he suddenly looked at Sun Wukong with an expression of great envy.

He had been single for seventeen years and still didn't have a girlfriend.

Yet Sun Wukong had brought two along at once.

"Wukong, this isn't the place to talk. Let's go inside the house to chat!"

"Alright!"

Following that, Sun Wukong led Chi-Chi and the others into the Turtle House.

Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu didn't really feel like chatting, so they went to the Gravity Room to train.

Because Yamcha was afraid of girls, he also went to the Gravity Room to train with Tien Shinhan and the others; only Krillin, Master Roshi, and Sun Wukong chatted for a long time.

During the conversation, Bulma and Chi-Chi both sat very close to Sun Wukong to stake their claims.

Sun Wukong could constantly smell the perfume wafting from them.

By noon, Master Roshi had intended to have them stay for a meal, but the house was too small, so Sun Wukong thanked Master Roshi for his kindness and returned to West City with Chi-Chi and the others.
