Confession

Louis's voice was faint, yet to Tights it sounded like a thunderclap, striking straight at her soul.

She covered her small mouth, simply unable to believe her ears.

After Nail finished speaking in the Namek language, Porunga's eyes glowed red once more.

Tights suddenly felt her skin become smooth and fair, as if she had returned to the age of eighteen.

"Candidate God of Destruction, your second wish has been granted. Please state your third wish."

"No more wishes. You may leave now."

Louis clicked his tongue; he truly couldn't think of any other wishes.

"Very well, I shall take my leave!"

Porunga breathed a sigh of relief, instantly turning into a streak of light and vanishing into the sky.

"Candidate God of Destruction, if there are no further instructions, I shall also take my leave." Nail hesitated for a moment before speaking up.

"Wait a moment. Tell the Grand Elder that there is no need to worry about the crisis Namek will soon face; someone from my Saiyan race will step in."

BOOM--!

Nail's body swayed. His Namek would be in danger in the future?

"Thank you, Candidate God of Destruction!!"

Thinking of the identity of the person before him, Nail was instantly overjoyed.

Even if a crisis truly appeared in the future, with this promise from the Candidate God of Destruction, Namek would surely be able to survive it safely.

Nail departed, leaving only the dazed Tights and the amused-looking Louis behind.

Louis chuckled, "Tights, what's the matter?"

Tights felt a sting in her nose, looking at Louis with reddened eyes: "Why did you make this wish?"

"You mean the wish for you to remain forever young?"

"Mm!"

"Can I say it's because I couldn't think of any other wishes, so I made that one?"

Louis was teasing her.

Tights had been deeply moved, but upon hearing this, she huffed indignantly: "Louis, you jerk!"

"Hahaha!"

Louis stepped forward, ruffled her hair, and said gently: "The days of cultivation are too long, and I want you to stay by my side forever!"

BOOM--!

A strange sensation surged into her heart, and her emotions erupted.

Tights's eyes welled up with tears as she covered her mouth: "Are... are you telling the truth?"

"I'm not a fool; how could I not see what's in your heart?" Louis reached out and gently wiped the tears from her face.

Half a year ago, when he woke up, he noticed Tights was acting a bit strange, though he hadn't thought much of it at first.

But while traveling through the universe with her, he discovered that Tights was becoming increasingly clingy.

Louis wasn't stupid; how could he not understand Tights's intentions?

He also realized that at some point, he had started to care about her as well.

Every time he saw Tights smile, he felt a sense of genuine happiness.

Every time he saw Tights frown, he would find himself feeling restless...

"Then... do you like me?" Tights lowered her head, asking timidly.

"Silly girl, didn't I just say? I only want to be with you forever."

Louis pulled her into his arms and said solemnly: "Tights, I like you!"

"Louis, I like you too!"

Tights broke into a smile, and in that stunning moment, time seemed to stand still.

Tights wrapped her arms around Louis's waist, looked up, and beamed: "Louis, I'm so happy!"

"Hahaha, I'm happy too. Who would have thought that the sycophant I brought back all those years ago would end up becoming my wife!"

"Stinky Louis, you're the sycophant!"

Tights pouted and gave Louis's waist a light pinch, then said happily: "Louis, does that... does that mean I can keep this appearance forever from now on?"

"That's right!"

Louis looked at Tights. Her cheeks were delicate, her eyelashes long, and her eyes blinked shyly, making her look adorable.

Even though she was a mature older sister, she displayed the demeanor of a young girl; Tights was truly beautiful!

"Tights!"

Louis cupped her small face in his hands.

Tights met his gaze and slowly closed her eyes.

"Mmm~"

Half an hour later.

Tights's small face was flushed red as she touched her lips.

"Louis, it's all your fault, they're swollen!"

"You really can't blame me for that!"

Louis pulled Tights tightly into his arms and whispered in her ear, "It's all because Tights is too charming."

"You..."

Tights's heart hammered against her chest.

Louis's sweet words were too lethal, making her body go soft just listening to them.

Tights lowered her head, twisting the hem of her clothes as she said shyly, "Louis, you're playing dirty!"

Louis clearly didn't understand anything before; even when she intentionally showed him her legs or chest, he would just blush in embarrassment.

Now that their relationship was confirmed, this ugly Louis was acting like a seasoned veteran.

"Louis, were you just pretending before? I liked you so much, could you really not tell?" Tights pouted and huffed coquettishly.

"I really didn't see it at first, I only started to realize it later on."

Louis kissed her on the forehead, "I really didn't expect my Tights to be so bold."

Back in the spaceship, Tights would often run out wearing nothing but a bath towel, which would occasionally slip to the floor.

Thinking of those scenes, Louis's heart raced wildly.

"I'm not bold at all, I only act like that in front of you." She lowered her head, her entire face as red as a ripe apple.

She accused him of playing dirty, but little did she know that in Louis's heart, her words were even more unfair!

Louis cupped her small face and lowered his head once more.

Half a day passed.

"Alright, my Tights, it's time for us to go somewhere else now."

Louis held Tights tightly, carrying her as they flew into the sky; he finally had something to hold onto in this world!

Being held, Tights felt wonderful inside; she could finally be held by Louis in a legitimate way.

Returning to where the spaceship had landed, the two boarded the craft and left Namek.

On the other side.

Nail returned to where Grand Elder lived and relayed Louis's words to him.

Grand Elder murmured, "So, Lord Candidate God of Destruction knew everything all along!!"

Earth.

The journey from Namek to Earth took another three months of traveling.

Nearly a year had passed since Louis left the God of Destruction Realm.

The spaceship landed in the West City Wasteland.

"Louis, what made you suddenly want to come to Earth?"

"I have kin here, and I thought I'd take the opportunity to visit your parents." Louis led Tights as they flew toward West City.

"You have kin on Earth?"

"I do."

Louis suddenly looked up at the sky, saying in disbelief, "And there's more than one!"

Four powerful auras emanated from the Lookout; based on their power levels, the strongest one seemed to be around 80,000.

"One of those auras feels a lot like Vegeta. Why would he be on Earth at this time? Shouldn't he be invading Earth two years from now?"

Louis frowned and muttered to himself.

Tights leaned against him, reaching up to touch his well-defined cheek, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm taking you to the Lookout to have some fun."

"The Lookout?"

"You'll see when we get there."

Louis's flight path shifted instantly, and he flew rapidly toward the upper atmosphere.

The Lookout.

The sun was bright, and in the center of the Lookout plaza sat a figure who looked very much like Bardock; this person was none other than Son Goku, who had just reached adulthood not long ago.

Beside him were four Gravity Chambers, three of which were occupied by people training inside.

At the edge of the Lookout, a Namekian was observing the world below when he suddenly felt restless, his entire body drenched in cold sweat.

"This pressure!! What is going on?"

"It's getting stronger!"

"It's here!"

Whoosh!

A beam of light flew up from the world below and appeared on the Lookout, the powerful shockwave knocking the Guardian of Earth to the ground.

"Who... who are you people?"

The Guardian of Earth was shocked beyond measure; the dimension of these individuals was incredibly high. Could they be King Kai?

The commotion caused by the newcomers also woke Son Goku, who had been in the center of the Lookout plaza.

"Who are you?" Son Goku assumed a fighting stance, eyeing Louis and Tights.

"That's right, Kakarot is indeed training at the Lookout at this time. He will continue to train here for another two years, then participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament, and only after he marries Chi-Chi and has Son Gohan will it be time for Vegeta and the others to invade Earth."

Louis looked at Son Goku, muttering to himself.

Son Goku and the Guardian of Earth exchanged a glance. What was wrong with this guy? Why wouldn't he say anything?

Suddenly!

"Kakarot, is Vegeta inside there?"

Louis pointed toward the Gravity Chamber in the center.

Kakarot?

Ever since reaching adulthood, although Son Goku remained thick-headed, his mind had matured, and he had learned of his own origins.

Hearing Louis call him Kakarot, he blurted out, "Are you a Saiyan?"

The Guardian of Earth also noticed the tail at Louis's waist and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Goku, it seems he is of the same race as you."

In his view, since Vegeta, Raditz, and Nappa had appeared on Earth without showing any intention of harming the planet, this Saiyan likely wouldn't do such a thing either.

Son Goku also noticed Louis's tail and said, "Vegeta is inside. Did you also come here as a fugitive?"

The three of them, Vegeta, had been hunted by the Frieza Force before fleeing to Earth.

"A fugitive?"

Tights, standing to the side, covered her mouth and giggled. Who would dare make Louis a fugitive? It was already a mercy if he didn't make others flee for their lives.

Louis was taken aback, but he quickly recalled what Whis had told him—that the three of them had been constantly hunted.

Louis shook his head. "I didn't come here as a fugitive. Tell Vegeta to come out; just tell him my name is Louis."

"Alright, I'll have Vegeta come out right now."

Son Goku went to the central Gravity Chamber and pressed the communication button on the outside.

"Vegeta, a Saiyan named Louis is here to see you!"

"Who? Who did you say?"

A shout erupted from the communication device, and then the Gravity Chamber opened from within, and a figure stepped out.

He had a high hairline, a shiny forehead, and was wearing a tight-fitting training suit.

As soon as Vegeta emerged, he grabbed Son Goku tightly. "Is it Louis? Where is he?"

Before Son Goku could speak, Louis called out, "Vegeta, long time no see!"

Vegeta looked at the person behind Son Goku, his body swaying. It really was Louis!

"Louis, you've finally returned!!!"
