Meeting

In the distance, at a cliffside featuring a towering waterfall, a young girl with silver-purple hair, dressed in a red coat with a pink lining, sat lost in thought, gazing down at the scenery below.

As familiar figures surfaced in her mind, tear tracks began to trace down the girl's cheeks.

I really can't forget it after all!

Lifting her head, the girl scanned the planet, looking at the familiar environment, her heart filled with nostalgia.

This familiar equipment—this girl was none other than Laila, the West Supreme Kai.

This place was the Supreme Kai World; in fact, the planet she had been on previously was modeled after the appearance of the Supreme Kai World, intended as a tribute to it. As for why Laila had been unwilling to return to the Supreme Kai World before, it was first because she did not want to be reminded of the past, and second, because she had been wandering the universe in search of a way to destroy Majin Buu.

Soon, while Laila was lost in her nostalgia, a "swish!" sounded in the distance.

A familiar figure appeared.

"It! It really is!"

The ones who had appeared were the Supreme Kai and Kibito.

Looking at the familiar scene before him and the girl in the distance, the Supreme Kai's eyes welled up with hot tears, and he spoke with great emotion.

"It, it really is you, West Supreme Kai, Sister Laila."

Beside him, hearing the Supreme Kai's words, Kibito's eyes bulged, his mouth hanging open in disbelief.

"West, West Supreme Kai! This, how is this possible! Didn't she die in the battle against Buu!?"

Ahead, hearing the Supreme Kai's voice, Laila turned to look at the newcomers.

"Shin."

Laila looked at the emotional Supreme Kai in the distance, her expression softening as she said gently.

"It has been a long time, Shin."

"Sister Laila..."

Supreme Kai Shin could not hold back the tears streaming down his face, and he walked toward Laila with unsteady steps.

Laila stood up and looked at the Supreme Kai as he approached, her expression gentle.

"I'm back."

Though it was only four short words, to the Supreme Kai at this moment, it was the final straw; Shin immediately burst into uncontrollable sobs.

Time passed quickly. Some time had elapsed since the reunion of Shin and Laila, and the two had since come to understand each other's situations.

"So, Sister Laila, you hadn't returned to the Supreme Kai World because you were searching for a way to defeat Majin Buu?"

As their conversation continued, Supreme Kai Shin gained some understanding of the situation and spoke up.

"But that doesn't seem right."

At this moment, Kibito interjected with a question.

"If it was because of Buu, there was no reason to stay away from the Supreme Kai World for so long, or even fail to send word, was there?"

Hearing Kibito's words, Supreme Kai Shin couldn't help but feel the same doubt.

Looking at the two of them, West Supreme Kai Laila continued.

"That was only one reason. The other was that you were still too weak, Shin, and I didn't want to put you in danger because of it."

As she spoke, Laila suddenly rolled her eyes and said crossly.

"Although that was what I thought, I never expected that you would disregard the danger and personally assassinate that evil sorcerer Bibidi for the sake of Majin Buu. Do you have any idea how worried I was when I found out!?"

As she spoke, Laila looked exceptionally annoyed; she reached out, pinched Shin's cheeks, and twisted them.

"Ah! Ouch, ouch, ouch... I was wrong, Sister Laila."

With his cheeks being pinched, Shin wore a wry smile and stretched out his hands to beg for mercy.

"Fine."

Releasing Shin's face, Laila relented.

At this point, Kibito asked again.

"Then, what is the reason for the West Supreme Kai's return this time?"

Hearing Kibito's inquiry, Shin added.

"Could it be that Sister Laila has already found a way to destroy Majin Buu!?"

Hearing this, Laila looked at the two of them, their eyes filled with expectation, and replied.

"No, not yet..."

However, before she could finish, Shin already wore a look of regret, saying dejectedly.

"So there really isn't one."

Beside him, Kibito looked at the disappointed Shin and offered comfort.

"It's alright, Supreme Kai. Even if there isn't a way right now, it's fine. After all, you have already killed Bibidi. Without his incantations, Majin Buu cannot be revived. In that sense, Buu has effectively been dealt with."

To the side, Laila watched the two of them, speechless, before saying helplessly.

"Hey, you two, is there some kind of misunderstanding here?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Laila's follow-up question, Supreme Kai Shin and Kibito could not help but be confused, looking toward her.

"Sigh..."

Letting out a sigh, Laila explained.

"I hadn't even finished what I was saying! You two should think about it—if there really were no way, would I have returned to the Supreme Kai World?"

"Does that mean, Sister Laila, you have a way to deal with Majin Buu!?"

"Yes! Lord West Supreme Kai, what exactly is this method?"

Following Laila's answer, the two of them immediately brightened, hurriedly asking for guidance.

"Of course! This method is..."
