Son Gohan

"Oh no."

"Goku loses all his strength when someone grabs his tail. That's how Ziye defeated him back then."

Krillin's face changed drastically as he shouted out.

"But how did he know that?"

Bulma asked, puzzled.

"Hahaha!"

The Mysterious Man laughed triumphantly, then slowly stood up and swung his hand with force, intending to throw Goku away!

However, he suddenly felt his hand tighten. Shifting his gaze, he saw that Goku had already grabbed onto him firmly.

"How... you..."

"Hehe, ever since I lost to Ziye at the last World Martial Arts Tournament, I've been training my tail every day. I don't have that weakness anymore!"

Goku chuckled, then threw a punch that landed squarely on the Mysterious Man's chest, sending him flying.

"Take another one!"

Goku roared and lunged forward suddenly.

"Wait... wait a minute! I give up!"

The Mysterious Man held out his palm and hurriedly called out to stop Goku.

"Goku, long time no see!"

Hearing this, Goku couldn't help but ask in confusion, "How do you know my name?"

The Mysterious Man stood up, walked slowly to Goku's side, and said, "Goku, I never expected you to have become this strong! And you've even overcome the weakness of your tail. Seeing you achieve this much, I'm truly gratified!"

"You... you... could it be... are you..."

Goku's face changed suddenly, and he pointed at the Mysterious Man, too emotional to speak.

"Haha, you child, only recognizing me now!"

The Mysterious Man chuckled, then reached up to remove the mask from his face, revealing his true appearance: it was none other than Goku's late grandfather, Son Gohan.

"Grand... Grandfather!"

"Grandfather!"

Seeing the man's face, Goku's eyes instantly turned red. He bit his lower lip gently before throwing himself into Son Gohan's arms.

"Haha, you're how old now and still crying?" Son Gohan stroked Goku's head and said gently.

"Grandfather, I missed you so much!"

Goku shook his head and continued to sob in Son Gohan's embrace.

"I never thought I'd see Goku cry like this!" Bulma said, moved.

"It must be a happy thing to see your grandfather, Goku!"

Ziye wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, feeling a stir in his heart. After all, Goku was the first friend, both familiar and strange, he had met since arriving in this unfamiliar world.

"Master Mutten, long time no see."

Son Gohan turned around and addressed Master Roshi respectfully.

"Gohan, it has indeed been a long time. I never expected the Mysterious Man to be you. If you hadn't used the Kamehameha, I might not have guessed it!"

Master Roshi nodded with a smile.

"I'm truly sorry, Master Mutten! I was just afraid Goku would discover my identity as his disciple!" Son Gohan laughed and scratched his head in explanation.

Hearing this, Master Roshi nodded in agreement and said, "I understand. You wanted to see how much Goku has grown, didn't you?"

At this moment, Bulma interrupted their conversation and asked, "Um... Goku's grandfather, we previously wished on the Dragon Balls to bring you back to life, but you refused. So, what about now?"

"Oh, this! It's thanks to a special ability of Fortuneteller Baba's. She can travel freely between the mortal realm and the Otherworld. To make her business easier, she hired me to help out here, and she even pays a high salary!" Son Gohan explained lightly.

"That's right! That's how it is."

Fortuneteller Baba also nodded earnestly from the side.

"Then... Grandfather, can you live with me from now on?" Goku asked excitedly.

Son Gohan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that won't be possible. I can only stay in the mortal realm for one day!"

He then turned and walked over to Master Roshi, dropped to his knees with a thud, and said respectfully, "Thank you, Master, for training Goku to be so strong. Now I can return to the Otherworld with peace of mind!"

After saying this, he quickly stood up, leaned toward Master Roshi's ear, and whispered, "By the way, has Goku turned into a giant ape again?"

"Ziye promised me that he would keep an eye on Goku! Ziye is a very talented and thoughtful child; you can trust him," Master Roshi said in a low voice, pointing to Ziye nearby.

"Then I can rest easy!"

Son Gohan nodded, then walked over to Ziye and asked with a smile, "You must be little Ziye, right?"

"Yes, hello, Grandfather!"

Ziye nodded quickly and responded politely.

"Thank you for all the companionship and care you've shown Goku for so long. Goku is quite naive, so I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you in the future!" Son Gohan said gratefully.

"Don't worry, Grandpa! Goku and I are great friends; his business is my business!" Ziye patted his chest in assurance.

"Alright, it's about time! Fortuneteller Baba, please send me back to the Otherworld. Oh, and Goku, don't waste your effort trying to revive me with the Dragon Balls. I quite enjoy life there—there are many beautiful young ladies!" Son Gohan patted Goku's head, then turned to speak to Fortuneteller Baba.

Hearing this, Master Roshi's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say with a hint of regret, "Re... really? I never imagined there were lovely ladies in the Otherworld. If I had known, I wouldn't have bothered taking that Elixir of Immortality!"

"Uh... truly Master Mutten's number one disciple, even your hobbies are identical!" Krillin muttered with an awkward laugh.

"Grandpa, you're leaving already? I don't want you to go!" Goku walked to Son Gohan's side, took his aged hand, and said with great reluctance.

"Goku, seeing how much you've grown, and knowing you've met so many good friends, Grandpa is truly gratified! You must continue to train hard in the future; don't let Grandpa down!" Son Gohan chuckled, stroking Goku's head as he spoke gently.

"I understand, Grandpa!"

Goku nodded earnestly.

"Thank you all for looking after Goku. I leave him in your care from now on!"

With that, Son Gohan turned to address the group.

"Well then, goodbye everyone. I hope we can meet again someday!"

"That won't be necessary, haha!"

The group laughed and declined in unison.

The next second, Son Gohan's figure vanished from before them.

"Grandpa, I will work hard to become stronger!" Goku shouted loudly toward the sky.

"Me too!"

Ziye clenched his fists and said earnestly.

"Where does that leave me, your master?" Master Roshi sighed, speaking with a helpless tone.

Just then, Fortuneteller Baba's voice echoed in everyone's ears once more.

"Alright, since you've won, I'll give you a free fortune-telling session as per the rules."
