Earth.

Fat Buu woke up groggily. Sitting up, he looked around in confusion and scratched his head. "Where is this? Who am I? And who are you?"

Seeing this, Son Goku said in surprise, "Li Wei, it looks like he doesn't recognize me anymore?"

Li Wei explained, "Although this Buu is a kind individual, his past memories had already twisted his values. So I erased his original memories. The current Buu is a newborn."

Li Wei walked up to Buu and smiled as he coaxed him. "Little guy, did you forget your name too? From now on, you'll be called Orb. I'll give you something as well."

As he spoke, Li Wei took out a ring and held it out to Buu.

Buu accepted the ring curiously and asked, "What is this?"

"This is called the Orb Ring. It's named after you. What do you think? Do you like it?" Li Wei asked.

Buu... no, he was now called Orb. He examined the Orb Ring from top to bottom, an interested smile appearing on his face.

"Ikaros, now you have a companion," Li Wei said with a smile as he turned around.

Ikaros nodded, her gaze constantly drifting over Orb's round, pudgy belly... She really wanted to touch it!

"It seems you like Orb too. I'm sure you'll get along very happily." Li Wei smiled and took out another card case, filled to the brim with Ultraman cards.

"Orb, this is for you. These cards are toy accessories that go with this ring. You can try inserting them into the ring. Something magical will happen," Li Wei said with a mysterious smile.

Orb took the Orb card case and casually drew two cards from it... the original Ultraman and Ultraman Tiga.

Orb looked up at Li Wei, then cautiously inserted the two cards into the Orb Ring...

"Fusion Upgrade!"

"Ultraman Orb, Spacium Zeperion!"

Amid flashing light, Orb transformed into Ultraman Orb. However, unlike the original's slender build, Ultraman Orb still retained Orb's fat physique.

Naturally, this was due to Li Wei secretly tampering with things, because Ikaros liked this sort of round, chubby body.

Looking at Ultraman Orb's round belly, Ikaros finally couldn't hold herself back and stepped forward to stroke it!

"Ahahaha, that tickles! Don't touch me!" Orb fell to the ground, laughing as he kept rolling his round body around. This only made Ikaros even less able to stop, and she chased after him, continuously stroking him.

Watching the two play around, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally found a companion for Ikaros.

Ikaros had simply been a little too clingy.

Even Li Wei needed a little personal space sometimes.

West City, commercial district.

"Videl, sorry to keep you waiting!" Gohan arrived before Videl, who was waiting on a park bench, holding two ice creams.

"Thank you." Videl took the ice cream, licked it, and asked, "Gohan, are you really not entering this year's World Martial Arts Tournament? It'll be very lively!"

"I'll pass. I don't want to fight. My dream is to become a scholar in the future, and all that fighting and killing doesn't suit me." Gohan gave an honest smile.

Seeing Gohan's simple, innocent smile, Videl could not help covering her mouth and chuckling. "You're clearly so strong, Gohan, yet you say you don't like fighting. That's so strange!"

Gohan shook his head. "I'm not that strong. Whether it's my dad, Uncle Vegeta, or Trunks, I'm no match for any of them. I probably can't even beat Uncle Nappa or Uncle Raditz, who caught up later."

Videl asked in confusion, "I've always heard you say that your elders are all amazing, and that you're as weak as a child in front of them. Is that really true? I saw you knock down a pterosaur that biiig with one punch!"

Gohan smiled awkwardly and explained, "Even Uncle Krillin and Uncle Tien Shinhan can do that much. It's nothing worth mentioning."

"Uncle Krillin? Do you mean Chief Krillin, the one known as the superhuman police officer at the station?" Videl asked curiously.

"Yeah."

Gohan nodded and explained, "Uncle Krillin is good friends with my dad, and they're fellow disciples under Grandpa Master Roshi."

"Master Roshi? That name sounds familiar... Ah! I remember now! I once read about him in a magazine. Master Roshi was the martial artist recognized by the martial arts world in the past as the God of Martial Arts, the powerful man respectfully known as Martial Arts Master!"

Videl's eyes widened as she exclaimed, "Martial Arts Master is the acknowledged God of Martial Arts! I heard he's the strongest martial artist in the world. Your father is actually that Martial Arts Master's disciple, Gohan? No wonder your whole family is so strong!"

Hearing that, Gohan gave an awkward smile and brushed it off. "Yeah, more or less. Something like that."

Videl nodded in understanding and smiled. "In that case, Gohan, then I won't hold back when I take second place in this year's World Martial Arts Tournament!"

"Second place?" Gohan tilted his head in confusion.

"First place will obviously be my dad's. My dad has been the champion of the World Martial Arts Tournament for several consecutive years!" Videl said proudly.

Mr. Satan's strength might have been nothing in front of the Z Fighters, but among ordinary people, he could indeed be considered superhuman. With no true martial artists entering the tournament, it was not strange for Mr. Satan to win repeatedly.

"Really? That's very impressive." Gohan praised him awkwardly.

Videl glanced at Gohan, her cheeks flushing slightly as she tentatively asked, "Gohan... when will you come meet my dad?"

"Huh?! M-Meet Uncle Mr. Satan? Th-this..." Gohan's cheeks turned red, and he immediately became stiff and flustered.

Seeing Gohan at a complete loss, Videl could not help covering her mouth and laughing. "Gohan, I never thought you could get this flustered too. This date wasn't for nothing!"

Gohan scratched his head awkwardly, his honest smile never leaving his face.

"It's getting late. I should head home, Gohan," Videl said.

"Then... then I'll walk you there!" Gohan quickly said.

"Okay." Videl nodded. The two headed to the bus stop together and waited for the bus to arrive.

A few minutes later, the bus came. Videl waved goodbye to Gohan and smiled. "Then I'm going home first, Gohan. What I told you just now, I meant it. Think about when you can meet my dad."

That made Gohan's cheeks redden again. He looked somewhat panicked, but he still gave his girlfriend a serious, direct answer. "Yeah... I'll think about it carefully. Don't worry."
