Dragon Ball: Reborn as a Saiyan, They Covet Me

"Don't resist, close your eyes, and do as I say."

"Oh!"

Son Goku trusted Bulma implicitly, allowing her to blindfold him with a strip of cloth.

"What do I do next?"

Son Goku asked.

No sooner had the words left his lips than Son Goku suddenly realized Bulma's intention, and he nearly broke into a cold sweat.

Calculating the days, the full moon was approaching.

Could it be that Bulma knew he would turn into a Great Ape if he saw the full moon?

Doubt stirred in Goku's heart.

He immediately tried hard to recall the scene of leaving Baozi Mountain with Bulma.

When he left Baozi Mountain with Bulma, Grandpa had pulled her aside to give her many instructions in private.

At first, Goku thought he was just telling Bulma to take care of him.

Now that he thought about it, it might have been related to his transformation on the night of the full moon.

Having spent over ten years with Grandpa Son Gohan, even though he had deliberately avoided the moon, it was still difficult to avoid the occasional lapse.

A flash of inspiration struck Goku's mind.

Goku remembered that year when his tail had grown back; he must have turned into a Great Ape.

Although he didn't remember what he had done, he remembered that after waking up, not only was the house destroyed, but much of the terrain on the mountain had been ruined as well.

Moreover, on the day he woke up, Grandpa said a storm had destroyed the house during the night, and he even took him to buy a Capsule House during the day.

It was a pity they didn't have enough money, so they went back up the mountain to chop down trees and build the house himself.

Thinking about it now, it wasn't a storm at all!

That time, he must have transformed, and Grandpa had discovered his secret.

That was why, later on, besides him deliberately avoiding the night of the full moon, Grandpa had also cooperated with him and never took him out on nights when the moon was full.

So, when Bulma and he left Baozi Mountain, Grandpa must have told Bulma this secret.

Goku let out a deep sigh of relief.

It was as if he had finally understood the cause and effect.

He had been searching for the Dragon Ball these past few days and had forgotten about his ability to transform, which had nearly led to a disaster.

Fortunately, Bulma was more careful than him and was looking out for him.

At this very moment, Goku suddenly felt a warm, soft touch on his face.

Son Goku was startled.

His sense of smell was exceptionally keen, and he clearly sensed Bulma's scent; it was a kiss from Bulma.

"Bulma, what are you doing?"

Bulma said, "Goku, I just remembered something. You saved my life when I fell off the Flying Nimbus earlier. So, I want to congratulate you—you've received a kiss from a beautiful girl!"

Young people really know how to play.

Goku knew that although Bulma's methods were a bit clumsy and childish, everything she did was to find a way to help him avoid seeing the moon.

Grandpa had never told him he could turn into a Great Ape; he only told him there were monsters on the night of the full moon and that he should go to bed early.

In truth, it was to protect his own self-esteem, so he wouldn't have to think of himself as an anomaly.

Actually, Son Goku knew it all along; these were silent gestures of care.

In the original story, after Bulma saw Son Goku transform, she guessed that it was Son Goku who had lost his reason and killed his grandfather, which was why she suggested keeping it a secret from him.

However, in this world, his grandfather was still alive and well, and although he could transform, he hadn't caused any loss of life yet, so Bulma only needed to be straightforward with him; there was really no need to hide it.

Regardless of what plans Bulma had, he would just go along with her wishes.

Son Goku touched the cheek that Bulma had kissed, and asked, "Bulma, I don't really want a kiss from a beautiful girl, can I trade it for something delicious instead?"

Seeing that Son Goku didn't struggle to tear off the blindfold, Bulma's brow instantly smoothed out, and she laughed, "You little brat, you're actually turning down a kiss from a beautiful girl.

When you reach the age where you actually want one, you won't be able to get it anymore!

But, since you saved me, I'll make an exception and let you trade it for food.

As long as you keep your eyes covered, once we arrive in a little while, you can return this kiss to me, and I'll treat you to a super feast, how about that?"

Son Goku curled his lip.

"Return it?

Bulma, you're trying to trick me like I'm a little kid!"

"Uh..."

Bulma was instantly choked for words.

This Son Goku wasn't stupid; he was getting a bit hard to fool!

Who would have thought that in the next second, Son Goku would offer her a way out.

Son Goku continued, "Bulma, since you said I can trade it for food, then I won't be polite; I'm truly hungry.

Hmm, let me think...

I want to eat fifty bowls of ramen tonight, how about that?"

Bulma was stunned, "You want to eat ramen?"

"Yeah! Based on how much I eat, I think fifty bowls is the bare minimum!"

During the day, when they passed through the town of the Rabbit Mob, there were several ramen shops.

This was the closest place Son Goku could think of where he could get full without it being too expensive.

With the Flying Nimbus as a mode of transport, it was fast; it would only take an hour to get there, which was very cost-effective.

Bulma nodded happily, "Alright, then I'll treat you to ramen tonight.

But is fifty bowls enough?

If you don't take off your blindfold before going to sleep tonight, I'll add a plate of beef to every bowl, how about that?"

Son Goku said happily, "Add meat, of course I want to add meat!!

Don't worry, if you don't want me to take it off, I absolutely won't.

Besides, wearing a blindfold doesn't affect my sleep; I won't even take it off when I sleep tonight."

Bulma smiled faintly, and the Flying Nimbus accelerated once more, turning into a golden light that vanished into the night sky.

An hour later.

Son Goku and Bulma arrived smoothly at the Ichiraku Ramen Shop.

Everyone saw the strangely dressed Son Goku and cast sidelong glances at him.

Just at that moment, Bulma bent down, and Son Goku kissed her lightly on the face.

Then he immediately asked, "Bulma, I've returned it to you, so, can we start eating now?"

Bulma laughed, "Yes, we can!"

After saying that, Bulma pulled out a thick stack of cash, at least several hundred thousand, and tossed it onto the counter for the owner with a flourish.

"Boss, many bowls of ramen, and add an extra portion of meat to every single one. Don't stop serving until I say so!"

Seeing such a lavish customer, the boss responded excitedly, "You got it!"

With that, Bulma led Goku, who was wearing an eye patch, to a seat.

As soon as the first bowl of ramen hit the table, Goku began to devour it with gusto.

Bulma rested her chin on her hand, watching Goku eat with a smile on her face. The smile never faded for a moment, carrying the distinct air of a wealthy woman doting on her young man.

The others watched Goku and Bulma, one after another filled with surprise and deep shock.

Goku was just a little kid!

With lipstick marks on his face, an eye patch, and a tail...

So what if you're a rich woman?

If you've got the guts, come at me instead...

A short while later, Goku was full.

Everyone's focus wasn't on how much he had eaten, but rather on Goku and Bulma themselves.

After Goku and Bulma left, the people in the ramen shop finally dared to speak, several of them drawing in sharp breaths.

"Are kids these days really playing this wild?"

"Who knows!"
