Rose's Special Training

"Well..."

Son Goku, Chi-Chi, Son Gohan stared wide-eyed.

Son Gohan blushed deeply, his face turning bright red from Android 21's audacity. He shouted, "Stop joking! Dad, Mom! Android 21 tried to eat me! Please don't agree! I already have someone I like!"

Videl, who was about to explode, was stunned by Son Gohan 'Son Gohan words. Their eyes met and they turned away shyly. Although they had secretly held hands, they hadn't made it public yet!

However, seeing Son Gohan's unwavering refusal, Videl nodded in satisfaction.

Vegeta looked at the Dragon Balls in his hand, handed it to Videl, and exclaimed, "So this is how you make a wish!"

Piccolo agreed, "That's right..."

Yamcha scratched his head and laughed, "So, that means we stayed one night at Wuling's martial arts gym, and that's it?"

Krillin, who had grown his hair out, scratched it lightly and laughed, "Yes!"

After saying that, Krillin smiled, but then a sense of loneliness crept in.

Tien Shinhan also looked up at the clear sky, feeling a sense of desolation.

"Tien Shinhan..."

Launch, with her blue hair, looked gentle and serene. Lanmaru came to her side and gently stroked Tien Shinhan's face with his palm.

Tien Shinhan felt a warmth in his heart. Launch, and his child Lanmaru —unconsciously, besides his training and Chiaotzu, he had something more important to care about.

The events surrounding Majin Buu —no, Android 21— have come to an end once again!

Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, Krillin, and others also left Mount Paozu one after another. Android 21 stayed behind and temporarily took over the work that Lan-Fan had previously done!

Meanwhile, in Son Wuling's home, on the first floor, Bulla was pouting, sitting on the sofa, looking at Rose. On the Number 18, Son Wuling and his family of three were washing dishes together.

As dusk fell, Number 18 and Son Wuling exchanged a glance, nodded slightly, and smiled knowingly.

Number 18 said, "Rose, where are you going to play later?"

With a calm and aloof expression on her tender little face, Rose replied, "I'm going to cultivate later, hoping to fight alongside you all, Father, as soon as possible!"

While washing the dishes, Son Wuling said, "You're still too young, Rose. When Goku and I were six, we weren't as strong as you two. It's good to work hard in your training, but don't close yourself off. I'll arrange a very special training program for you over the next week."

"Special training!"

After washing her hands, Rose took off her gloves, revealing her wide blue eyes, just like Number 18's.

"Dad, what kind of special training is this? Can it make me stronger?"

Rose asked expectantly.

Son Wuling replied with a smile, "Do you still remember what I told you about the meaning of 'Why don't they eat meat porridge'?"

"Of course I remember!"

Rose answered without hesitation, saying, "I will not be like that foolish emperor, ignorant of the suffering of the people. One can be proud, but not arrogant. Good people will not die in this world, bad people will not die, only fools will die. I remember everything you said!"

"So, you've been living on Mount Paozu all this time. Although you've seen those things, you've only been passing through. Rose, for the next week, start by staying at Bulma's house for two days, then go to Tien Shinhan Kame House for one day, Yamcha's house for one day, and Satan's house for one day. Then go to the Lookout for one day, and finally stay at Snow and Eighter's house for the last day. After you come back, tell us everything you've seen and learned!"

No sooner had Son Wuling finished speaking than Bulla stood up excitedly.

"Uncle Wuling, do you mean that Rose is coming to stay at my house for a couple of days?"

Bulla looked at Son Wuling in disbelief and asked.

Son Wuling nodded and replied, "That's right, I've already arranged with Bulma and Vegeta to stay at your house for two days! Bulla, Rose is your first time staying away from home, so we'll have to ask you for help!"

"Hmm... Don't worry, Uncle Wuling, I'll give Auntie Number 18 all my favorite dolls and snacks, yay!"

Bulla jumped up with joy, overwhelmed with excitement. Rose had never been to her house before; every day was spent either cultivating herself or, while traveling the world, stopping to observe human suffering.

Bulla trotted away, calling out, "I need to go back and prepare. Rose, forget about the round-the-world trip! Yay, that's great! Rose's coming to visit!"

Bulla took off using Flight, leaving Mount Paozu and flying home at high speed!

Rose tilted her head, puzzled, and asked, "It's just a visit, why are you so happy?"

After helping Son Wuling remove his apron, Number 18, taking advantage of Rose's inattention, lightly touched Son Wuling's lips and replied, "Because Bulla truly considers you a partner and a good friend! Besides, apart from Mount Paozu, you've never been to anyone else's house, have you?"

Rose nodded. The feeling of the unknown made her feel uneasy. She wouldn't be afraid of going through fire and water, but now she was nervous because she was going to stay in someone else's house.

"Won't I cause them trouble?"

Rose asked nervously.

Number 18 shook his head, bent down, and smiled, "Everyone here is a good friend of ours, and also your elders. Get a good rest tonight, and we'll take you to Bulma's house tomorrow morning."

"Okay! I'll go out and run eight thousand laps around Mount Paozu, then I'll come back."

Rose straightened her martial arts uniform, left the apartment, flew to the foot of Mount Paozu, and began training.

Back home, Son Wuling and Number 18 were very affectionate, touching their foreheads and feeling each other's warmth.

Number 18 said, "We can finally have a good week of fun. Rose has been on tenterhooks at home the whole time, afraid that she'll see us."

Son Wuling smiled faintly and said, "What do you want to play with me, Number 18?"

Number 18 gave a charmingly disdainful look, nestled in Son Wuling's arms, and gently traced circles on Son Wuling chest with her slender fingers, saying, "Come on, you know the answer already. By the way, I don't want to have any more children. When I was pregnant with Rose, I was in so much pain I felt like I was going crazy."

Son Wuling's face immediately fell. The image of Number 18 had been completely ruined by the ordeal, and he was in a terrible state too, almost going crazy. He was mentally exhausted every day. If Number 18 got pregnant, who knew if she would blow up the sun after she had already blown up the moon?
