Childhood Sweethearts

"Dad, Bulma!"

Tights called out to the two of them.

The two looked up and saw Tights and Roger beside her.

"Big sister!"

"Tights!"

After a while, Tights brought Roger over to them.

"Tights, who is he?"

Dr. Brief asked Tights.

"His name is Roger. He's a Saiyan!"

"A Saiyan?"

"Roger?"

The moment Bulma heard Roger's name, she immediately remembered the butler robot telling her that someone named Roger had come looking for her.

"Were you looking for me just now?"

Bulma asked Roger.

"Yes. Actually, I wanted to see your father, so I used your name to get in!"

"You wanted to see my dad?"

"Yes, I want to sell a spaceship to Dr. Brief!"

"A spaceship!"

Dr. Brief was greatly interested when he heard that.

"Dad, don't let him fool you. How could he possibly have a spaceship?"

Bulma looked utterly unconvinced.

After Bulma finished speaking, Dr. Brief and Tights both turned to look at Roger.

In truth, neither of them really believed Roger had a spaceship.

When Roger saw them looking at him, he naturally knew what they were thinking.

So he took the spaceship remote from inside his clothes and lightly pressed it.

More than ten seconds later, a white spaceship appeared above Bulma's home.

"What was that just now? A meteor?"

Because Roger's spaceship was too fast, many people in West City had not seen it clearly.

Only after Roger's spaceship stopped above Bulma's home did some nearby residents see it.

"What is that? Could it be an alien spaceship?"

"I don't think so, right? That's Dr. Brief's house. Maybe it's a spaceship Dr. Brief built."

Seeing the spaceship appear as if at light speed, Bulma said in disbelief, "Am I dreaming?"

As she spoke, Bulma pinched her own cheek.

"That hurts. I'm not dreaming!"

Roger could not help but laugh when he saw that.

"You're really cute!"

Bulma blushed when she heard that.

She felt that she had really embarrassed herself just now.

Seeing this, Roger pressed the spaceship remote in his hand and had the spaceship land smoothly on the lawn.

"It really is a spaceship!"

Tights said excitedly.

If she had this spaceship, she could leave Earth and visit planets beyond it.

Dr. Brief walked up to Roger's spaceship and tapped its outer shell with his hand.

"Roger, how much are you planning to sell this spaceship for?"

"A few hundred million."

"A few hundred million? I thought it would cost several hundred billion!"

Roger smiled.

"If I sold it to you for several hundred billion, would you buy it?"

"Not buying it!"

Dr. Brief shook his head.

He might have been rich, but something as expensive as a spaceship—especially one that might not even be suitable for mass production—was not something he would spend a huge sum on just to research.

"What about a few hundred million?"

Roger continued asking.

"That would be worth considering!"

"Then, Dad, are you going to buy this spaceship?"

Tights asked Dr. Brief.

"I'll consider it!"

"Dad, what are you still considering? This is a spaceship! If you can manufacture spaceships like this too, our company will definitely become the number one company in the world!"

After hearing that, Dr. Brief glanced at Tights.

"Then, Tights, if I buy this spaceship, would you be willing to work at the family company?"

"Um... I'll consider it!"

After hearing that, Dr. Brief turned to Roger.

"Roger, open up this spaceship and let me have a look!"

"Alright!"

As he spoke, Roger immediately pressed the remote in his hand, opening the spaceship's door.

"Roger, can this spaceship only seat one person?"

"Yes, but it's very fast. Traveling anywhere in the universe won't be a problem!"

"Does this spaceship come with an instruction manual?"

"An instruction manual?"

"Yes, and what about maintenance and such?"

"Well... if you need one, I can write you an instruction manual. I can handle the after-sales service too!"

"You know how to repair this spaceship?"

"Of course!"

Roger smiled.

While on Planet Yardrat, aside from training, Roger had also studied the technology of Planet Yardrat and other planets.

Roger's comprehension was unbelievably high, and he had easily mastered the technology of Planet Yardrat and other worlds.

Planet Yardrat's technology was not particularly advanced, but the Yardratians could use Instant Transmission to travel to highly advanced planets and trade with them.

So when it came to spaceships, Roger was far beyond Dr. Brief.

However, in the field of Universal Capsules, no one could compare to Dr. Brief.

"Is that so? Then where are you living now?"

"I don't have anywhere to stay for the time being. Otherwise, I wouldn't be selling you this spaceship!"

"I see. Then why not stay at my house? That way, if I have any problems with the spaceship, I can come to you!"

"Then... alright. But the money..."

"I'll buy this spaceship for one billion. I'll have my wife give it to you tomorrow!"

"One billion!"

"Yes. Is that too little?"

"No, no, it's more than enough!"

"By the way, Tights said just now that you're some kind of Saiyan? Does that mean you're an alien?"

"Yes!"

"Then if you sell me the spaceship, how will you go back?"

"My original planet has already been destroyed, so there's no way for me to return!"

"I see. It's fine—this will be your home from now on!"

"????"

Was he treating him like a stray cat?

"Then, Roger, could you tell me about the structure of this spacecraft?"

"Sure!"

Roger nodded and began explaining it to Dr. Brief.

After a long while, Dr. Brief spoke as though he had suddenly been enlightened.

"So that's how it is. Alien technology really is far ahead of ours!"

"Not really. They're only a bit more advanced when it comes to spacecraft!"

Roger said.

"Roger, how old are you this year?"

"Five!"

"Then you're the same age as our Bulma. How about arranging a childhood betrothal for the two of you?"

"Dad!"

Bulma snapped.

Although Dr. Brief was a famous scientist on Earth, he could be rather unserious at times.

"Bulma, I think it's a good idea!"

Tights, who was standing nearby, immediately began teasing Bulma.

Bulma immediately turned to look at Roger.

Seeing the furious look in Bulma's eyes, Roger promptly cleared his throat and said, "Dr. Brief, I think... we should forget about that!"

"Why?"

"Because... I feel like she's rather hostile toward me!"

"I see. It's fine, feelings can be nurtured slowly!"

"Dad!"

Bulma immediately shouted at Dr. Brief.

She had seen fathers marry off their daughters, but never one who did it this eagerly.
