Faced with Kashius's answer—shameless beyond shameless—and that pitiful tone that couldn't be any more pitiful...

Bulma let out a deep sigh, then grabbed a certain black-haired guy by the ear and roared, "Do you think I'm an idiot? The starting point on the Dragon Radar is my house! Back then, I was afraid you wouldn't know where my house was, so I specifically programmed it in. Of all the excuses you could make, you picked this one???"

"Huh?!!! Nani???" Kashius was instantly dumbfounded. He had never expected Bulma to have even taken his getting lost into account. At that moment, Kashius couldn't help praising her inwardly. As expected of the girl called a genius. Her IQ really is off the charts.

"So, do you have any other explanation? Say it all now, so you don't complain later that I didn't give you a chance." At that moment, Bulma gave Kashius a faint glance and proudly lifted her head, wearing an expression that said, "Little punk. You dare try to fool me? Try again in your next life!!!"

Kashius really had no way to deal with this scene. Since playing pitiful didn't work, then he would get tough!

"I have no explanation! Whatever you want to do to me, I'll accept it all!" After saying that, a certain black-haired guy secretly raised his battle power, so that if Bulma attacked him, it would hurt a little less.

"Um, Bulma, he's a monster. Don't be impulsive..." At that moment, Yamcha hurriedly walked up beside Bulma and quietly reminded her by her ear.

However, for a girl who would one day dare to tease Vegeta and punch a God of Destruction, what did Kashius count for? Besides, Bulma was currently at the age where a newborn calf feared no tiger, so how could she possibly be frightened by Kashius?

Bulma paid no attention to Yamcha's warning. Instead, she walked lightly up to Kashius, then looked straight into his eyes.

"If you want me to let you off, that's fine."

"Really?" a certain black-haired guy said happily.

Seeing Kashius's excited face, Bulma rolled her eyes and said, "However, I have one condition."

"What condition? As long as I can do it, I'll definitely do it for you!!!" As soon as Kashius heard that, he hurriedly agreed. Wasn't it just a condition? What was so hard about that? The most urgent thing right now was finding a way to get the Gravity Chamber.

"As long as you can do it? No. You have to do it!!!" The moment Bulma heard the "as long as I can do it" in Kashius's words, displeasure immediately appeared on her face, and her tone turned firm.

Uh... I have to do it? Isn't that a bit much...

Kashius was slightly surprised. He really couldn't imagine what major matter Bulma still needed him to do. Could it be collecting the Dragon Balls? Or perhaps teaching someone a lesson? Impossible. Those were all things he could do casually. There was no need to insist that he had to do them, right?

What exactly could it be?

Damn it! Why didn't Bulma seem this hard to deal with in the anime? Why am I so unlucky now that it's my turn? Fake. It's all fake.

(Author: Fairy tales are all lies. I can't possibly be your angel...

Kashius: ...

Author: Uh... sorry, wrong song. Let me try again. Anime is all lies. I can't possibly believe it completely!

Kashius: Get lost! Get the hell out!)

"What? You won't agree? Then we can forget about your Gravity Chamber!" After waiting for a long time, Bulma's willow-like brows lifted slightly, and she spoke with some dissatisfaction.

Yamcha was badly startled by Bulma's words. This guy was a monster, Bulma. Calm down!!! Then he tugged at the corner of Bulma's clothes again, desperately giving her looks as a reminder.

Yamcha's behavior was clearly unnecessary. How could a certain black-haired guy be the kind of bastard who started fighting the moment someone disagreed with him? Even if he did fight, it would be against Big Man. How could he possibly attack a girl? Seriously, how could they look at a model citizen like him that way?

When Kashius heard that Bulma wouldn't give him the Gravity Chamber, his heart practically collapsed. Anything was fine, just don't threaten me with this, big sister!

Do you know that this thing is a divine tool related to whether I can safely survive in the future or not? Don't deny me that with a single sentence.

Do you know how many people will die because of what you're doing?

Of course, Kashius would not say these words to Bulma. Even if he did, Bulma would not believe him. She would only treat it as another excuse from Kashius, needlessly adding to her dislike of him.

Thus, a certain black-haired guy looked at Bulma with a solemn face and said in a grave tone, "Forget one condition. Even if it's two conditions, three conditions, I'll help you do them!" As he said this, Kashius clearly saw Bulma's expression improve a little, and a trace of joy appeared in her eyes.

"But I only have one request. I only ask that, from now on, you can help me continuously improve the Gravity Chamber. Of course, as repayment, I will do my utmost to fulfill your condition—even risk my life to do it!!!"

Kashius's expression was solemn, his tone firm, and his gaze met Bulma's eyes directly.

"Fine. I promise I'll help you continuously improve the Gravity Chamber from now on." Bulma's expression still remained calm, but the wisps of joy overflowing in her eyes showed that, at this moment, she was incomparably happy inside.

"If you'd been like this earlier, wouldn't it have been over already... Seriously." Bulma stepped back a few paces, lowered her head, and muttered a few words.

Yamcha, who was beside them, clearly noticed Bulma acting this way too, but he thought Bulma was just relaxing after dealing with Kashius, so he did not pay too much attention to it.

"Then, state your condition. No matter what it is, I'll do my best to complete it!" After silently sighing in his heart, Kashius straightened his expression and looked solemnly into Bulma's eyes as he spoke.

There was no helping it. Out of politeness, when speaking with someone, one had to look into the other person's eyes. Kashius did not want this genius girl, whose intelligence utterly crushed his by several streets, to find some other shortcoming and use it to make things difficult for him.

However, Kashius was clearly overthinking this point. Bulma, who was looking at him, only blushed slightly, then awkwardly turned her head away and left.

Then a lively, pleasant voice came over.

"I haven't thought of it yet. When I do, I'll tell you."

Then another pleasant, clear voice came over, though there was clearly some dissatisfaction in it.

"For now, you're coming with me to look at that Gravity Chamber of yours and inspect the results, in case you go back on your word later and refuse to admit it."

At this, Kashius sighed helplessly and followed her. Along the way, he also looked at Yamcha, who was walking with them, with some confusion and secretly asked, "Brother? Did your girlfriend get her period or something? Why is she making things so hard for me today?"

Faced with Kashius's question, Yamcha was a little stunned, but he was still very happy about Kashius calling him brother. After all, who wouldn't want a brother with powerful strength?

However, as for whether Bulma had gotten her period, he actually didn't know either. So he shook his head at Kashius, indicating that he had no idea.

Then that's strange. If that's the case, this girl has no reason to make things difficult for me. Could it be that she's unhappy because I'm handsome, so she wants to find a way to mess with me? That's probably it. Otherwise, why would she want me to handle something for her, and even insist that I must complete it and can't refuse?

Just as Kashius was still thinking about what Bulma's condition might be, he unknowingly arrived in front of a semicircular building.

And Bulma was standing in front of the building's main entrance, helplessly looking at Yamcha and Kashius, who had fallen far behind.
