"Yeah, Chi-Chi!"
The Fortune Teller Baba chimed in from the side, trying to persuade her too.
"No! I'm going to West City to find Goku!"
"How about this, Chi-Chi? I'll call Master Mutaito and ask him to contact Goku, so Goku can come find you!"
Chi-Chi was tempted when she heard this, but when she thought of Sun Wukong living with a girl, she ultimately decided to go to West City and find him herself.
"No, Dad! I want to find Goku on my own!"
"This..."
The Ox-King looked at the Fortune Teller Baba.
The Fortune Teller Baba helplessly waved her hand.
They knew what Chi-Chi was like. Once she made up her mind to do something, it was very hard to change it.
"Well, Chi-Chi, if you're going to West City, how about I go with you?"
The Ox-King thought it over before speaking.
Chi-Chi was only sixteen, and she had hardly ever left Fried Bread Mountain. He was worried she might get taken advantage of out there, so for her safety, it would be better if he went with her.
"No, Dad. I'll go by myself. Besides, I'm all grown up, and I know martial arts. I'll be perfectly fine!"
"W-well, all right!"
Chi-Chi nodded and headed home.
As soon as she got back, Chi-Chi began packing her clothes.
Worried that Chi-Chi might not have enough money in the big city, the Ox-King gave her some gold and silver jewelry.
Once Chi-Chi had finished packing everything she wanted to take, a bundle bigger than a person was piled on the castle floor.
It contained not only clothes, but also every pot, bowl, and utensil she could need.
"Okay, Dad, I'm off?"
Chi-Chi picked up the huge bundle from the floor and slung it onto her back.
"All right, Chi-Chi. Be careful on the way!"
Chi-Chi nodded and walked out of the castle.
The Ox-King followed her out and saw her off. Then he returned to the castle and called Master Roshi.
"Master Mutaito, it's me, the Ox-King!"
"Ox-King! What can I do for you?"
"Well, Master Mutaito, Chi-Chi left Fried Bread Mountain today. She said she was going to West City to find Goku!"
"Goku!"
"Yeah! It's all my fault. Chi-Chi had no appetite lately and kept talking about Goku, so I thought she was sick and asked the Fortune Teller Baba to take a look at her!"
"I think... Chi-Chi has fallen for Goku!"
"I already know that now!"
"Then why are you calling me?"
"I want you to contact Goku for me and tell him Chi-Chi is going to find him!"
"Sure, no problem!"
"Sorry for the trouble, Master Mutaito!"
"Mm!"
After saying that, the Ox-King hung up.
Master Roshi then found the phone number Sun Wukong had given him last time and called Bulma's house.
Bulma's mother answered the phone.
When she heard that the call was for Sun Wukong, Bulma's mother immediately went to the Gravity Room and called him out.
As soon as Sun Wukong heard that Chi-Chi had come to find her, he immediately left Bulma's house to go meet her.
After a long while, Sun Wukong found Chi-Chi in the mountains.
Over the past six months, Sun Wukong had grown quite a bit taller.
So when Chi-Chi first saw him, she wasn't entirely sure that the person in front of her was the Sun Wukong she had come to find.
"Um... are you Goku?"
"Yeah!"
Sun Wukong smiled and nodded.
"That's wonderful!"
Chi-Chi immediately threw herself into Sun Wukong's arms.
The gesture left Sun Wukong at a loss.
A little while later, Chi-Chi realized she had been too forward, so she let go and said,
"I'm sorry, Goku. I got so excited because I hadn't seen you in so long!"
"It's nothing!"
Sun Wukong smiled.
After all, he wasn't the one who'd lost anything!
"Goku, it's been years since we last saw each other, and you've grown so handsome. I almost didn't recognize you!"
"Really?"
"Then, Goku, you still remember who I am, right?"
Chi-Chi looked at Sun Wukong expectantly.
"You're Chi-Chi!"
"You really didn't forget me!"
Chi-Chi jumped for joy.
"By the way, Goku, what are you doing here?"
"Your dad asked me to come find you!"
"Really?"
"Then I'll take you back?"
"No! Not unless you stay at my house!"
"Um..."
Sun Wukong looked troubled.
"By the way, Goku, I heard from the Fortune Teller Baba that you're living with a girl. Is that true?"
"A girl? You mean Bulma?"
"Bulma? The girl who went with you to look for the Dragon Balls before?"
"Yeah!"
Sun Wukong nodded.
"Then why are you living at her house? Are you two already in a relationship?"
"No, I'm just training at her house!"
"Training?"
"Yeah. She built me a Gravity Room to train in!"
"What's a Gravity Room?"
"..."
Sun Wukong was speechless.
Still, he explained what the Gravity Room was for.
Once Sun Wukong had finished explaining, Chi-Chi's face showed that she finally understood.
"Then, Goku, how about you move the Gravity Room to my house?"
"...Forget it. If it breaks, you won't know how to fix it!"
Chi-Chi immediately looked displeased when she heard that.
"Then should I take you back?"
"No, I want to go sightseeing in West City!"
"..."
Sun Wukong was speechless again.
"By the way, Chi-Chi, what's in the bundle on your back?"
"Clothes, pots and pans, all sorts of things!"
"..."
"You really aren't going back?"
"I'm not!"
"All right, then. I'll take you to West City, but you have to promise me you'll do as I say once we get there."
"Mm!"
Chi-Chi nodded firmly.
Seeing that, Sun Wukong called the Flying Nimbus and took her to West City.
West City, Bulma's house.
Bulma had just finished making a cake and was about to go to the Gravity Room to have Sun Wukong taste it when she ran into her mother at the door.
"Bulma, is the cake ready?"
Bulma nodded.
"I was just about to go find Goku and have him taste it!"
"Goku just went out, I think. I don't know if he's come back yet."
"He went out?"
"Yeah, he got a phone call and then left."
"Who called him?"
"I think it was his master."
"That old pervert!"
As she spoke, Bulma ran to the Gravity Room. Sure enough, Sun Wukong wasn't there.
About ten minutes later, Sun Wukong returned on the Flying Nimbus.
"Goku!"
Bulma was happy to see Sun Wukong return, but the moment she noticed Chi-Chi behind him, her expression darkened.
When Sun Wukong had the Flying Nimbus land in the courtyard, Bulma wanted to leave.
But... she wasn't the kind of person to give up so easily, so she forced down her anger and walked over.
