"Tights, keep an eye on Bulma for me, okay? Little Karochi seems like he's been hungry for ages. He's eaten so much, but he still doesn't look full!" Mrs. Brief handed Bulma over to Tights, then placed her hands beside her cheeks and spoke with a gentle smile.
Karochi froze when he saw Tights! In Dragon Ball Super, Bulma's older sister had appeared in a few scenes. Back then, she'd had short yellow hair and a very capable look. It seemed she often followed Jaco around the universe to collect material, and had become a bestselling science fiction author.
But now, her golden hair fell to her waist, and her delicate features were absolutely stunning! Damn, she was just the cutest little girl.
"Okay, Mother. By the way, who's this little boy? He's so strange—he has a tail growing out of his backside!" Tights stared at Karochi with curiosity. She hadn't become a writer yet, but she was already bursting with curiosity.
Karochi stopped devouring his food. To be honest, Tights really did draw the eye like this. He wiped his mouth and replied, "Hello, big sister. I'm Karochi! I'm not from Earth—I'm from Planet Vegeta."
When Tights heard that Karochi was an alien, she perked right up. Her eyes were practically glowing!!!
Holy crap!! Karochi was sure Tights couldn't have moved that fast with her power level. In the blink of an eye, she grabbed both his hands. "Planet Vegeta?? You're an alien!!? Can you tell me about aliens??? Ah, can you? Can you???"
Th-this much enthusiasm!? Tights was practically about to hug Karochi. Damn, he remembered Jaco being the one who took Tights off Earth!?
"Uh, well, Big Sister Tights, space is pretty dangerous. I'd recommend you not venture out there lightly." With a power level of around a thousand, Karochi was still a nobody. Tights, with a single-digit power level, was even more hopeless!!
"Ah~! You can get off Earth?" It was clear Tights hadn't heard a word he'd said. Instead, she'd drawn her own conclusion.
Uh, what? Holy crap, how did you know that!!! Had I said a single word about being able to leave Earth? No, right? Right???
"Oh my~! Karochi did ask that old geezer to modify a spaceship, didn't he? Is he planning to return to Planet Vegeta?" Mrs. Brief chimed in from the side!!
Huh?? You did that on purpose!?
Karochi was stunned. It was one thing not to stop your daughter from going off into space, but now you were egging her on??
"A spaceship?? Dad's modifying it!!?" At the mention of a spaceship, Tights' eyes practically shot out beams!!!
Karochi could only reply helplessly, "That's right. I asked Dr. Brief to modify the craft I arrived in! I want to make it bigger and have him install a gravity machine so I can train." There was no point hiding it. The thing was right there in their house, after all.
"Take me with you, take me with you!! I want to see space too." Tights looked just like Karochi had in his past life whenever he'd gone home for the holidays and seen his phone. I'm crying—she was still raising her hand!! What a good student.
"Big sister... Big sister... I wanna go too!!" Bulma had no idea what was going on. She'd just seen Tights wanting to go, so she started joining in too.
Mrs. Brief picked her up. "No, Bulma, you're still too little. You can't go wandering off!" As she spoke, she nuzzled Bulma's cheek, making her giggle!
Amazing. Eleven wasn't old enough either, was it?
Karochi was speechless. Weren't you going to talk your elder daughter out of it??? She was still young too. Seeing that Mrs. Brief had no intention of trying to dissuade her, he said solemnly, "Ahem, I'm really not trying to scare you, Big Sister Tights! Space really is dangerous. Take my homeworld, for example! If everything's on schedule, it should be destroyed by a big villain very soon."
He'd been away for seven months, and he'd only found out Gine was pregnant when she was already three months along!! That meant Goku must have been born by now, by his reckoning. And if he figured right, Frieza was about to set off his "fireworks" too—holy crap.
"R-really!!?" Tights looked even more excited.
Oh, for crying out loud! Why weren't you even a little scared? This made no sense, damn it. Now he finally understood how Bulma had the guts to smack Beerus. Nobody in that family had any idea what fear was!!
Come to think of it, when Majin Buu destroyed West City, the Briefs hadn't even fled.
The Dragon Ball world's strongest genes really were something else. Amazing!!
"Oh my~! Tights, how can you act like that? Karochi's homeworld is about to be destroyed! How can you not be sad?"
Mrs. Brief, I wish you'd squeeze some tears out along with those narrowed eyes!!
"Um, Karochi, take me with you into space! My biggest dream is to become a popular science fiction writer, but I just can't find any inspiration on Earth! I feel like my big break is waiting for me in space." Tights looked so pleading that it was hard not to feel for her. Seriously, why had Tights been so cute as a kid?
"Well... I still have to train on Earth for a while! Probably over a year." Karochi looked troubled. He really did need to leave Earth! He planned to visit Planet Namek and Yardrat.
After all, the Grand Elder's power-up on Namek was just too good! It had no side effects at all, so it was an incredible deal. If he could, he also wanted to get his hands on Namek's Dragon Balls. As for Earth's, he seriously couldn't find the damn things!!
Yardrat's techniques were powerful too. Learning even one or two would benefit him for life! Was Beerus strong? Could he outrun me? I could use Instant Transmission to cross the entire Galaxy in one go. Hilarious—Whis couldn't catch up even if he tried.
But bringing a woman along would be a real hassle!!
When Tights heard Karochi would be training on Earth for a year, a sly look crept into her eyes. "So you'll be living on Earth for a whole year, Karochi!?"
Karochi nodded, a little confused about why she was asking.
"Oh my, Karochi, do you have any money? You seem to eat quite a lot. That meal alone must have cost at least several hundred thousand yen!" Tights wore a smile like a devil's!!!
Uh-oh!! Holy crap, that's right. I'd been thinking the Briefs family would feed me. Two lifetimes, and I was still broke??
Th-this is bad!! She's found my weak spot? What do I do!! Help, I need an answer fast??
Just then, Tights took out a card, waved it in front of Karochi, and quickly pulled it back. She put on a coy expression.
"What should we do? If you agree to go with your big sister, I might just give you this unlimited card." She held the card by her lips with her right hand, standing tall and radiating charm.
Gulp~!
Karochi swallowed. Holy crap! No spending limit?? In two lifetimes, he'd never heard of such a thing! His eyes were full of longing.
After less than two and a half seconds of inner struggle, Karochi said solemnly, "Don't worry, Big Sister Tights. Once we're in space, I'll protect you, Karochi's word! Nobody will lay a finger on you."
Hilarious. At that moment, Karochi felt like even Beerus would have to take two big slaps to the face before he could leave.
He'd been blinded by money. Sorry, Saiyan pride—you only made me hesitate for two and a half seconds!! At that moment, tears of joy slid from the corners of his mouth.
"Yay! Karochi knows what's good for him. This card is yours! Just don't let me find out you tricked me, okay?" With that, Tights handed the card to Karochi.
Karochi accepted it with reverence, his hands trembling slightly! Good grief, in two lifetimes, he'd never touched a card with such a huge limit. At Tights' words, Karochi thumped his chest and promised, "Don't worry, Big Sister Tights. I keep my word!" His voice rang out with conviction.
Hilarious. Money was power! A high credit limit was the truth. In the face of money, even the emperor of the universe, Frieza, would have to get into real estate.
