Fifth Junior Brother

"Then should I go answer the phone?"

"Sure!"

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

"Hello!"

"Hello, is this Android 8? This is Bulma. I need to talk to Goku about something. Could you put him on the phone?"

"Sure!"

Android 8 said, then turned to Sun Wukong.

"Goku, it's Bulma. She says she needs to talk to you!"

Sun Wukong hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and picked up the phone.

"Hello!"

"Hello, Goku? It's Bulma. I was wrong about what happened today, and I'm sorry! I promise I'll never force you to choose again!

Goku, don't be mad anymore. How about coming home tonight?"

"Then you and Chi-Chi... won't fight anymore?"

"We won't. As long as you come back, we won't fight!"

Sun Wukong still seemed a little hesitant.

Just then, Chi-Chi's voice suddenly came through the phone.

"Okay, you've talked to Goku long enough. Now it's my turn to talk to him!"

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

"..."

"Bulma, I think I'll come back tomorrow instead!"

"Beep, beep..."

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

After the call ended, Bulma, who had already been holding back her temper, started arguing with Chi-Chi again.

The next morning.

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

"Good morning, Goku!"

When Sun Wukong arrived in the backyard, he saw Chi-Chi waiting for him.

"Good morning! Where's Bulma?"

"She's probably still asleep!"

Chi-Chi felt a little unhappy when Sun Wukong mentioned another woman.

"Is that so?"

As soon as he said that, Bulma ran out of the house.

"Goku, you're back!"

Sun Wukong nodded.

"Have you eaten breakfast?"

"I ate at Android 8's place!"

"Then you're not still mad about yesterday, right?"

"I'm not mad!"

"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 going to visit them today!"

"Okay!"

Bulma nodded.

"Goku, I haven't seen Master Mutaito and the others in ages either. Can I come with you?"

Chi-Chi asked with a smile.

At that, Sun Wukong immediately glanced at Bulma.

Bulma was suddenly looking at him with a bright smile.

"Goku, I happen to be free today too. How about I come with you?"

"...Sure!"

As soon as he said that, Bulma and Chi-Chi immediately stared intently at each other.

Then Chi-Chi turned to Sun Wukong again with a smile.

"So, Goku, when are we going to see Master Mutaito?"

"Maybe... in a bit!"

Sun Wukong had originally planned to go to Master Roshi's to get away for a while, but he hadn't expected the two of them to come along.

A little while later, Sun Wukong used Instant Transmission to take Bulma and Chi-Chi to Turtle Hermit Island.

Master Roshi happened to be heading out and saw Sun Wukong and the others.

"It's been a long time, Master Roshi!"

Sun Wukong greeted Master Roshi with a smile.

"Could you be... Goku?"

Master Roshi stared at Sun Wukong in surprise.

A year ago, Sun Wukong had been about as tall as Krillin. Now, after just one year apart, he had grown so much.

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

That boy Krillin must have stopped growing already!

Master Roshi thought to himself.

"That's right, Master Roshi!"

"Then who is she?"

Master Roshi looked at Chi-Chi.

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

"It's been a long time, Master Mutaito!"

"Indeed!"

Master Roshi replied, then looked at Bulma beside her.

Bulma gave him a cold look and raised her right hand, showing him her clenched fist.

Master Roshi immediately looked away.

"By the way, Goku, what brings you here today?"

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

"I see!"

Just then, the door of Turtle House opened, and two bald men, one tall and one short, came out.

They were Krillin and Tien Shinhan.

After they came out, Chiaotzu, Yamcha, Puar, and the others also emerged from the house.

"Bulma!"

When Krillin came over to Master Roshi and the others, he quickly greeted Bulma.

"Long time no see, Krillin!"

Bulma said, then looked at Tien Shinhan and the others.

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

"That's right!"

The three of them nodded.

"Then what are you doing here?"

"We became Master Mutaito's students!"

Tien Shinhan replied.

"What! You became Master Roshi's students too?"

Bulma exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right!"

Tien Shinhan said, then looked at Sun Wukong.

"You wouldn't happen to be Sun Wukong, would you?"

"That's right! What's up?"

Sun Wukong asked with a smile.

"W-what! You're Senior Brother Goku?"

Krillin stared at Sun Wukong in disbelief.

They had been about the same height back then, but now he barely came up to Sun Wukong's shoulder.

He suddenly felt that the world was so bleak and that heaven was so unfair.

"That's right!"

Sun Wukong replied, then looked at Yamcha.

"Krillin, is Yamcha also one of Master Roshi's students now?"

"Yeah! Why?"

"Nothing, just asking! Tien Shinhan is the third junior brother, Chiaotzu is the fourth, so Yamcha is the fifth junior brother!"

"F-fifth junior brother!"

At Sun Wukong's words, Yamcha gritted his teeth in anger.

Going by what Sun Wukong had just said, that made him the most junior student under Master Roshi.

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

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

Since Krillin had never met Chi-Chi, he didn't recognize her.

"Hello!"

Chi-Chi greeted Krillin with a smile.

"Hello!"

Krillin replied with a smile.

Then he suddenly looked at Sun Wukong with deep envy.

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

Meanwhile, Sun Wukong had brought two with him.

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

"Sure!"

Sun Wukong then led Chi-Chi and the others into Turtle House.

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

Yamcha was afraid of girls, so he went to train in the Gravity Room with Tien Shinhan and the others. Only Krillin, Master Roshi, and Sun Wukong's group stayed and chatted for a long time.

As they talked, Bulma and Chi-Chi both sat close to Sun Wukong to stake their claims.

Sun Wukong could often smell the fragrance of perfume wafting from them.

By noon, Master Roshi had wanted to invite them to stay for a meal, but the house was too small. Sun Wukong thanked him for the offer and took Chi-Chi and the others back to West City.
