Son Satoshi couldn't help but smile as he watched this scene.
Not long after entering the park, while the children and women went to play on the first attraction – the " Interstellar Roller Coaster".
Son Satoshi bought two bottles of drinks and sat down by the fountain in the central square to wait.
"Give."
Before he could even sit down properly, something cold was handed to him.
Son Satoshi looked up and saw Vegeta standing in front of him, holding two double scoops of ice cream.
His face was turned to one side, and his blond hair shone brightly in the sunlight.
"... Strawberry flavored?"
Son Satoshi raised an eyebrow as he looked at the pink ice cream that was handed to him.
"This is the only flavor left! Take it or leave it!"
Vegeta said stiffly, though his ears were slightly red.
A dignified Saiyan Prince buys ice cream to "please" others.
If this were transmitted back to Planet Vegeta (if it still exists), it would probably make those King Vegeta laugh themselves back to life from their graves.
"Eat, of course I'll eat."
Son Satoshi smiled as he took the ice cream and happily licked it.
"His Highness the Prince bought this himself; the taste is indeed different."
Vegeta sat down next to him, holding another chocolate-flavored ice cream in his hand, but didn't touch it.
However, his pair of emerald green eyes would occasionally glance at Son Satoshi.
That hesitant, unspoken expression was even more agonizing than the rollercoaster ride I'd just experienced.
"Speak."
Son Satoshi couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up.
"Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious. You went out of your way to find me, surely not just to buy me this ice cream?"
Vegeta, whose thoughts had been exposed, visibly stiffened for a moment.
He took a deep breath, as if he had made a great decision, before turning his head and staring intently at Son Satoshi.
" Kaxiu."
"Six years ago, you showed me that form... that Super Saiyan 4."
Vegeta's voice was somewhat low, carrying a hint of reminiscence.
It was a year after the Androids Saga ended. He was still adjusting to Super Saiyan Full Power when he heard about Son Satoshi transforming into Super Saiyan 4 while shopping with Elena.
After he rushed to Son Satoshi's house, he witnessed that form.
The shock of that moment is still deeply etched in Vegeta's mind.
You promised me back then.
Vegeta clenched his fist.
"Once I can reach the full power of Super Saiyan 2 and perfect my normal form... then you'll teach me how to transform."
As he spoke, Vegeta's aura trembled slightly.
Although no shockwave erupted, Son Satoshi could clearly feel that the energy within Vegeta's body was surging like a deep-sea undercurrent.
Yet he controlled it perfectly within his body, without wasting a single drop.
This is proof of Super Saiyan 2 Full Power.
"I... have done it now."
Vegeta looked at Son Satoshi, his eyes burning with a flame of desire.
"Tell me, what should I do next?"
I asked the question.
I finally asked.
As an elite warrior with a strong sense of self-respect, he asks someone he once regarded as a " Lower-class Warrior " for advice on how to transform.
This was worse for Vegeta than death.
But he was too eager to become stronger.
Looking into Vegeta's eyes, which were filled with longing, Son Satoshi's joking expression vanished.
He took a bite of his ice cream and, instead of answering immediately, asked a question in return.
" Vegeta, I know you're in a hurry."
"But..."
Son Satoshi pointed to Elena and Trunks in the distance, who were screaming and cheering on the roller coaster.
Today is Family Day.
"You promised Elena and Trunks you'd spend the whole day with them."
"If I told you the method now, knowing your personality, you would definitely abandon them immediately and run to the wilderness to try transforming, right?"
Vegeta was stunned.
His lips moved, as if he wanted to refute, but in the end he remained silent.
Because Son Satoshi is right.
If it were ten years ago, or the Vegeta who had just arrived on Earth.
Forget about family gatherings; if it means becoming stronger, he'd be after your family already!
He wouldn't even blink if the amusement park were blown up.
But now...
Vegeta watched the red-haired woman's happy smile on the roller coaster, and saw Trunks waving at him.
That heart, which had previously been filled only with fighting and killing, actually hesitated for a moment.
"Cut..."
Vegeta took a big bite of the chocolate ice cream in his hand, as if venting his dissatisfaction.
"Have a finger in the pie."
He didn't mention the transformation again, nor did he leave immediately.
He sat there next to Son Satoshi, eating ice cream and looking at his family in the distance.
Son Satoshi watched this scene with deep emotion.
Old Berlusconi, you've finally become a family man.
"But..."
After finishing the last bite of ice cream, Vegeta suddenly spoke again.
His voice was somewhat low, seemingly carrying a hint of barely perceptible anxiety.
"If... I mean, if..."
What if I can't find you tomorrow?
"So, that's why you've been loitering around my house lately, even secretly observing me?"
Vegeta was taken aback by what he heard, then turned his head away somewhat awkwardly.
"Hmph... who was secretly watching you?"
"I just... I just wanted to come and ask you something."
"But..."
Vegeta's voice lowered.
"You've been away from home a lot lately."
"I felt your energy disappear several times, and then suddenly come back."
Upon hearing this, Son Satoshi suddenly understood.
I see.
Vegeta was unaware that he had gone to the GT Timeline; he simply believed that he had gone out for training.
The reason he was so concerned about his whereabouts was that he had already mastered Super Saiyan 2 Full Power and couldn't wait to fulfill that promise.
But because of that damned pride, she was too embarrassed to go directly to his door, so she could only observe from the shadows like a resentful woman, waiting for an opportunity to create a "chance encounter".
"What an awkward guy."
Son Satoshi couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at!"
Vegeta was enraged.
"It's nothing, I just find you much more interesting than before."
Son Satoshi finished his ice cream in a few bites, wiped his hands, and stood up.
He walked behind Vegeta and put a hand on Vegeta's shoulder.
"Don't move."
Vegeta instinctively wanted to resist, but hearing Son Satoshi's serious and unquestionable tone, he forcibly suppressed his physical reaction and sat there stiffly.
"Since you're ready, I will naturally keep my promise."
Son Satoshi mobilized the God Ki within his body, just as he had done in the GT Timeline, sending an extremely fine strand of Divine Power down Vegeta's spine, all the way to the end of his tailbone.
There is an invisible seal there.
It was this seal that prevented Vegeta's tail from regenerating and also severed his path to Super Saiyan 4.
"Open."
Son Satoshi recited this in his heart.
"Snap."
A sound, audible only to Son Satoshi, rang out, a sound of rules shattering.
The seal that had imprisoned Vegeta for decades crumbled instantly under the onslaught of Divine Power.
After doing all this, Son Satoshi calmly withdrew his hand.
"Alright."
"Alright?"
