"So you want me to take him back to Universe 10?" Kusu asked.
"Yes. I'll pick him up after I return from seeing the Grand Minister," Vados replied.
"Sure." Kusu didn't object.
"I'll send you his location. I'll leave him in your hands, Sister," Vados said, sending Kusu the coordinates.
"There's no need to be so polite between Angels," Kusu said with a smile.
After ending the call, Kusu turned around and quickly flew off.
Vegeta silently floated in the empty space of the World of Void, feeling as if his girlfriend had just dumped him.
What the hell...
I'm all alone in the World of Void...
There isn't a single soul around.
Even a ghost would be nice.
At least it could keep me company.
I wonder if Kusu will come pick me up.
If she doesn't, then I really will be Tragic Vegeta.
What good is having a power level of five million?
What can I even do in this empty World of Void?
Fortunately, after Vegeta had waited for a little while, he saw a distant light flash several times, brilliant as a star.
"Whoosh!"
Kusu came speeding over from afar.
Vegeta breathed a small sigh of relief.
Vados, you really are pretty reliable.
Kusu, you deserve a compliment too. You really came to get me.
"Mr. Vegeta, Vados said I should take you to Universe 10 first. She told you about that, right?" Kusu asked.
"Yes, she did." Vegeta nodded obediently.
"Then... let's go," Kusu said.
"Okay. Sorry for the trouble," Vegeta replied, moving forward to wrap his arms around Kusu's slender waist.
"Hee... That tickles so much..." Kusu immediately giggled.
"Uh... Did I touch your ticklish spot?" Vegeta asked.
"Yep, yep... Hold me somewhere else. That spot tickles easily," Kusu replied.
Vegeta slid his body a little higher.
Kusu: "..."
"Your hands aren't in the right place..." Kusu said, wiping away sweat.
If you weren't a little kid... I'd be angry.
You did it by accident, right?
"Uh... I can hold on more securely here..." Vegeta suggested.
"Let go!" Kusu's expression darkened.
"Is it because I'm not supposed to hold you there?" Vegeta asked, pretending not to know.
"Yes!" Kusu said.
"I didn't know..." Vegeta quickly changed his grip.
Only then did Kusu feel better.
"By the way, Mr. Vegeta, how old are you?" Kusu took a deep breath and asked.
"Me? I'm five," Vegeta replied.
Kusu: "..."
He's only five.
He really is just a little kid.
He probably didn't do that on purpose.
And he didn't know he wasn't supposed to touch that spot.
All right, I forgive you.
"Let's go." Kusu stopped dwelling on what had just happened, carrying Vegeta with her as she transformed into a brilliant, star-like streak of light and sped toward Universe 10.
Outside Zeno's Palace.
With his hands behind his back, the Grand Minister waited patiently for Vados to arrive.
A young man stood beside him.
The young man had blue skin and an Angel halo around his neck, just like the others.
He held a Scepter in his hand and gazed up at the sky.
Several dozen minutes later.
Vados came speeding over from afar.
"Thump!"
Vados descended from the sky and landed right in front of the Grand Minister.
As soon as she landed, Vados spotted the young man standing beside the Grand Minister.
Vados was slightly taken aback.
"Vados, you're here," the Grand Minister said with a smile.
"Greetings, Grand Minister," Vados said, bowing.
"Rise," the Grand Minister said.
Vados stood up.
"Merus, let me introduce you. This is your older sister, Vados. She is currently the Angel of Universe 6," the Grand Minister said.
"Yes, Grand Minister." Merus bowed. "It's nice to meet you, Sister."
"Vados, this is your younger brother, Merus. He was only brought into existence recently," the Grand Minister explained to Vados. "Merus is an Angel born in Universe 7."
"Oh my, another member has joined the Angels!" Vados exclaimed with delight. "Have you decided where you'll go to train?"
"I called you here to discuss Merus's training," the Grand Minister replied. "I originally planned to have Whis take him under his wing, but Whis is currently playing around in the depths of the universe, so it would take him quite a while to get here. Since you happened to be nearby, I asked you to come instead."
"Since Merus is an Angel born in Universe 7, Universe 7 would be the most suitable place for his training," Vados suggested.
"That's right. You're the Angel of Universe 6, and Universe 7 is its mirror universe, so you know it very well. Having you take Merus there to train is an excellent choice," the Grand Minister said.
"Sure, leave it to me." Vados patted her chest.
"Sorry for the trouble," the Grand Minister replied.
"Thank you for taking me, Sister," Merus said, bowing at once.
"Merus, you don't have to be so polite," Vados said, patting him on the shoulder. "Shall we set off?"
"Okay," Merus replied.
"Merus," the Grand Minister said.
"Yes, Grand Minister?" Merus bowed.
"You're going to the mortal realm to understand good and evil, but don't go to extremes. I hope you'll train your heart well and do your best to become a full-fledged Angel as soon as possible," the Grand Minister said.
"Yes, Grand Minister." Merus bowed again.
"Go on. Do your best," the Grand Minister said with a smile.
"Mm!" Merus nodded solemnly.
"Then... Father, we'll be taking our leave," Vados said, bowing as well.
The Grand Minister gave a slight nod.
"Merus, you can fly, right?" Vados asked.
"I can, Sister Vados." Merus nodded.
"Let's go," Vados said.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The two of them turned into two brilliant, star-like streaks of light and swiftly flew toward Universe 7.
"Merus, what kind of place would you like to train in?" Vados asked.
"Just as the Grand Minister said, I'm going to the mortal realm to understand good and evil..." Merus replied. "So, Sister, could you think of somewhere that would help me understand good and evil better?"
"Let me think," Vados said thoughtfully.
"Sorry for the trouble, Sister," Merus said.
She thought about it for a little over half an hour.
"I've got it. There's someone in Universe 7 known as the Emperor of the Universe," Vados explained. "His name is Frieza."
