I'm Sorry

Under the coercion of a certain blond beauty, Kashius, who had originally planned to leave the very next day, was forcibly dragged into staying for several more days.

And whether he could leave at all was another matter.

Whenever he spent time with Mana, the moment Kashius even thought about saying he wanted to leave, a certain girl's eyes immediately turned red. This was truly, truly... too tragic to look at!!!

It made Kashius deeply understand the helplessness Wukong felt when facing Chi-Chi. It seemed there really was a reason why the strongest in the universe feared his own wife the most.

And now, wasn't he facing that very challenge himself...

Oh, right.

Over the past few days, when the shopkeeper watched Kashius and Mana clinging to each other, he not only showed no intention of stopping his daughter's puppy love, but even wore an expression that seemed to say he wished the world would descend into chaos.

He kept thinking of ways to add fuel to the fire, making Kashius unable to help wondering whether parents in this place were all this open-minded.

Natashi's father was like this, and now the shopkeeper was too.

[What the hell!]

At that, whenever Kashius thought of his past life, where he had merely held a certain girl's hand and then been lectured for ages by her parents and his own, while here, not only did they not do that, they even wanted to add fuel to the fire...

The moment he thought of that, Kashius felt unbearably depressed.

In the end, after a sudden remark from a certain little shota, Kashius was finally labeled.

"You two are stuck together all day anyway. Why not just get engaged first? That way she won't run off later, and my sister won't spend every day looking like someone died again."

After Nasca said that, Kashius suddenly saw the shopkeeper's eyes gleam. As for Mana, one of the people involved, her exquisite little face instantly flushed crimson, making her look exceedingly adorable.

Then a certain blond girl covered her bright-red cheeks, tossed her long golden hair, and ran into her own room, hiding away too embarrassed to see anyone.

After that, using the excuse that Kashius had taken advantage of his daughter, the shopkeeper ignored the opinions of the two parties involved and directly arranged their engagement.

From then on, a certain black-haired guy had a fiancée.

Although Kashius was angry that the shopkeeper had ignored both their opinions and forcibly "bestowed a marriage," he was also happy that he had such a beautiful fiancée. Though this fiancée could be very hard to handle at times.

Still, in most situations, she was at least fairly sensible. (Hopefully...)

"Hey... Kashius, take me up into the sky for a while. I kind of miss the feeling of soaring through the air."

That day, a certain blond girl suddenly said this to a certain ahoge sitting on the sofa.

Kashius did not refuse. He picked her up directly, then shot out the window and into the sky.

Looking at the azure sky, Kashius fell into deep thought.

He had already stayed here for nearly a month, and his original plans had long since been disrupted.

Although he kept looking for chances to make things clear to a certain blond girl, the moment he tried to speak, Mana would always skillfully avoid it, then use some other excuse to brush him off.

Left helpless, he could only keep silent.

"What's wrong, Kashius? Why have you been so gloomy these past few days?" Mana looked at her expressionless fiancé and asked with some worry.

Looking down at Mana in his arms, Kashius smiled, then reached out and gently stroked her smooth long hair.

"Hey, Mana. This world is very big, and it's also full of all kinds of dangers." Looking at the white clouds ahead, Kashius's tone was somewhat melancholy.

"Kashius..." The clever Mana naturally knew what Kashius meant. It was just that she was unwilling to listen.

She was afraid. Afraid that after she heard it, she would be unable to stop herself from letting Kashius leave. She was not someone who made unreasonable trouble. She was only a little girl who had fallen deep into love. She did not want much. She simply wanted the person she loved to stay by her side.

"Hey, Kashius... do you know? From the day you first took me soaring through the sky, I think I already started to like you a little."

"Mana~!" Kashius was somewhat shocked and found it truly unbelievable. He had never expected the clichéd plotlines from movies to actually happen to him.

"Then we lived together for five years. During those five years, when I cried, you stayed with me. When I laughed, you stayed with me too.

Sometimes I would be a little unreasonable, a little willful, but you always gave in to me and never held it against me." As Mana spoke, tears slowly flowed from her eyes.

"When I was little, no matter what excessive requests I made because I didn't know any better, you would always smile and agree. Do you know? Back then, I felt like I was a princess, and you were my knight."

"Mana..." At that moment, Kashius had nothing to say. He only gently stroked her smooth hair.

"So this time, I'm begging you. Can you not leave? Even if you do leave, can you take me with you? I know you can't stay in one place forever for too long. In that case, wherever you go in the future, I'll follow you there."

At this point, Mana tightly wrapped her arms around Kashius's waist, pressing her whole body against him as she pleaded, "Okay? I'm begging you... I don't want to be separated from you... Kashius!"

"Mana..." Softly calling her name, Kashius fell silent.

With a faint sigh, Kashius carried Mana down onto a small nearby slope. This was the place where he had once watched the sunrise and sunset in order to please a certain blond little loli.

"Kashius... please, take me with you, okay???" As if seeing Kashius stay silent made Mana inevitably nervous, she could not help hugging him tighter again as she pleaded.

"Mm, Mana, I'll take you with me. No matter where I go in the future, I'll take you with me." Kashius smiled at her and agreed aloud.

"Mm..." Mana nodded gently and nestled into Kashius's arms.

"Look, the sun is setting."

"Mm, this red sunset really is beautiful!" Nestled in Kashius's arms, Mana's face was filled with happiness.

[Mm~ It really is beautiful, Mana...] Kashius looked at his fiancée in his arms, his gaze growing gentler and gentler.

Only he himself knew that no matter what, he could not take Mana with him.

Since he had become Son Goku's younger brother, he had to stay by Son Goku's side and walk forward with him, step by step.

For him, with only three thousand combat power right now, if he did not work hard to train, then when he ran into those big shots, there was no doubt he would only be walking straight to his death.

Though Kashius could also have hidden himself away and left all of this to Son Goku, letting him defeat and crush one powerful enemy after another.

But if he did that, what was the point of him transmigrating here? What was the point of training?

Kashius was unwilling—unwilling to be reduced, in the end, to a passerby, a bystander!

The Saiyan blood in his body was telling him that it refused to be mediocre. He longed for battle, longed to grow stronger, longed for battle!!!

Who did not have a hero's dream? Who did not want to become a savior and save the world!!!

That night, Kashius hovered beside the window, looking through it at Mana, who had already fallen asleep, his heart filled with self-reproach.

I never thought, in the end, I would leave this way. Forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye.

I'm sorry. I can't let Wukong face the powerful enemies of the future alone. I'm sorry...

When I come back again, I'll definitely marry you.

Immediately after, Kashius vanished into the night in the blink of an eye. He simply did not know that, by another window, a pair of eyes was watching him.
