Dragon Ball: Reborn as a Saiyan, They Covet Me Chapter 32

"I'll teach you how to run faster later..."

Master Roshi looked toward Chi-Chi.

"Second, Chi-Chi!"

Chi-Chi walked up to the starting line.

"Ready!"

"Go!"

Chi-Chi's short legs moved at high speed, kicking up a cloud of dust just the same!

Soon, Chi-Chi reached the rock, and Master Roshi clicked the stopwatch.

"Click!"

Master Roshi praised her, "Hmm, only 11.5 seconds. That's beyond my expectations; you're quite good, Chi-Chi."

Chi-Chi scratched her head happily and said, "Thank you for the praise, Master Roshi!"

Krillin also complimented her, "For a girl to run it in 11.5 seconds, that's truly impressive!"

"Next, it's Goku's turn!"

Son Goku walked to the starting line.

"Ready!"

"Click!"

Son Goku turned into a blur, lunging toward the finish line in a flash.

Master Roshi stared blankly at the stopwatch.

"7.5 seconds!"

Chi-Chi ran over to Goku's side, hearts appearing in her eyes.

She praised him, "Wow, Goku, you're so fast! You actually only took 7.5 seconds!!!"

Son Goku: "It's really nothing, just the result of the training I've done since I was a child. Chi-Chi, don't be so jumpy in the future."

Chi-Chi: "Oh, I understand."

Krillin was even more shocked, saying, "7.5 seconds, isn't that too amazing? Goku, how did you train to get like that?"

Son Goku didn't hide anything: "My grandpa taught me; I usually train with weights on."

Chi-Chi and Krillin both gave him a thumbs up: "Awesome!"

Just then, Master Roshi looked at them.

"Although you all run very fast, you must understand that there is always someone better, and there is always a sky beyond the sky!"

Master Roshi handed the stopwatch to Krillin and took off his turtle shell.

"Krillin, help me time this!"

"Is Master Roshi going to run too?"

"Yes, I haven't run in a long time either. Time to stretch my legs."

After speaking, Master Roshi arrived at the starting line.

"Ready!"

"Go!"

Master Roshi stomped hard on the ground, turning into a blur as he lunged toward the finish line.

"Click!"

Seeing Master Roshi cross the finish line, Krillin clicked the stopwatch.

His face was filled with profound shock.

"My god, 5.2 seconds!"

Chi-Chi's eyes glowed with golden light: "Master Roshi is actually this fast; he truly lives up to his name!"

Goku: "Krillin, you were a bit slow on the button."

Master Roshi calmly put his turtle shell back on.

"Sigh, I'm old, I've lost my touch. But you are still young; you have a chance to break 5 seconds."

Chi-Chi asked, "Can I do it too?"

Master Roshi nodded: "Of course, anything is possible."

Cough, cough. Running so suddenly actually made me thirsty.

"Son Goku, go to the kitchen and get me a drink."

Chi-Chi, standing to the side and always wanting to do something for Son Goku, immediately stepped in first. "I'll go!"

With that, Chi-Chi ran off to fetch the drink.

Just as Chi-Chi entered the house, a crisp sneeze echoed out.

The next second, Chi-Chi came sprinting out clutching a bottle of soda, with Launch chasing fiercely behind her, brandishing a kitchen knife.

The three of them watched Launch chase Chi-Chi, completely stunned.

The speed was too fast.

Soon, they dashed past the rocks and crossed the starting line from earlier.

Master Roshi glanced at his stopwatch.

"Chi-Chi is quite remarkable too! She's already broken the five-second hundred-meter mark—she's faster than me!"

Krillin said in surprise, "Really? It looks like I'm the weakest of the three of us!"

Master Roshi replied, "No, not necessarily. Chi-Chi only unearthed such great potential because she encountered danger. If you were pushed to a dead end, you would also erupt with unimaginable power. You must believe that human potential is infinite!"

Krillin scratched his head. "Is that so?"

"Yes, trust me, you can't go wrong. Look at Chi-Chi, isn't she the perfect example?"

"That's true!"

Son Goku watched Chi-Chi running for her life and couldn't help but scratch his head. "I didn't expect Launch to be so fierce toward other girls after her hair turns blonde."

Master Roshi said, "Women are only gentle toward the men they like. If it isn't that person, they don't care if the other party is a man or a woman!"

Krillin expressed deep admiration. "As expected of Master Roshi, you know so much."

Son Goku asked, "Master, you don't even have a partner, how do you know all this?"

Master Roshi's face darkened. "Children shouldn't pry into adult matters!"

Soon, the test ended, and the sun was about to set.

Master Roshi said, "Formal training begins tomorrow. Before we eat, I want to test your strength one more time."

He held up a stone, let the three of them get a clear look at it, and then threw it off the cliff.

"Tonight, whoever among you three can find that stone gets to eat."

The three of them immediately ran in the direction where the stone had disappeared.

A moment later, Son Goku returned with the stone, with Chi-Chi by his side, walking shoulder to shoulder with him.

Son Goku said, "Chi-Chi, you're still growing, you can't go hungry. Why don't I give the stone to you?"

Chi-Chi replied, "No! You have such a big appetite, and you were the one who found the stone, so you should have the dinner."

Son Goku insisted, "You eat it instead!"

Chi-Chi said, "I can't. If you give it to me, you won't have anything to eat."

Son Goku said, "It's fine, I'm a boy!"

Chi-Chi said haughtily, "I don't care! Anyway, if you don't eat, I won't eat either!"

Little Chi-Chi showed her determination to share the hardships with Son Goku.

Little Chi-Chi's innocent and adorable demeanor was truly endearing.

Son Goku found it difficult to reconcile her with the fierce woman she became after marriage.

Perhaps it was because the adult Goku didn't know how to take care of a home, making their life together so bitter that it shaped Chi-Chi's personality that way.

But, couldn't they just communicate properly when there was an issue?

Was it really necessary to resort to hitting and scolding?

Thinking of the volatile Chi-Chi after their marriage, Goku was reminded of his parents from his previous life.

Although they weren't as outrageous as Chi-Chi, their mental state seemed remarkably similar to that of a short-tempered married woman.

Every day it was forcing him to do homework, eat on time, and forbidding him from playing with children who had worse grades than him...

Even though he understood that much of what his parents did was for his own good, being scolded and lectured every single day from childhood to adulthood was a terrible experience.

It led him to be trembling with fear whenever he returned home from school as a child, and because of that, he grew up to be a rather closed-off and introverted person.

But fortunately, heaven allowed him to be reborn.

In this life, not only did he become his favorite hot-blooded protagonist, Son Goku, but he also had the kind and amiable Grandpa Gohan to look after him as he grew up.

In his daily life, not only did he never criticize him, but he also frequently encouraged him.

He felt that although he would have to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the Earth in the future, needing to keep training hard every day without slacking off or lying flat, from childhood until now in this life, he had truly lived happily.
