Goku, Come In and Take a Bath

After Goku had eaten and drunk his fill, night had completely fallen.

Moonlight spilled across Mount Paozu, and the air was filled with the faint scent of grass and trees.

The evening breeze brushed past, carrying a trace of coolness that made people relax without realizing it.

The distant mountains were faintly visible, while the trees swayed gently in the breeze, rustling softly.

The night sky was dotted with stars, like scattered silver strewn across the heavens, tranquil and mysterious.

Having just enjoyed a hearty meal, Goku leaned contentedly against a tree, resting his chin on his hand as he quietly considered what to do next.

He had already made up his mind to continue searching for the Dragon Balls tomorrow. Time was tight, after all. And since he had crossed into this world, he could not waste a single opportunity.

Just as his thoughts were racing, he suddenly heard Bulma's voice behind him.

Bulma stretched and yawned. "It's already dark. Why don't we rest for the night and continue looking for the Dragon Balls tomorrow?" There was a hint of weariness in her voice, yet she did not lose her elegance, as though she were telling Goku that today's exhaustion deserved a good rest.

Naturally, Goku had no objections. He secretly chuckled as he thought of the luxurious houses hidden inside the capsules Bulma carried around.

Thinking of that, he could not help hatching a plan. He immediately put on an enthusiastic smile and suggested, "Bulma, my little cabin has two beds. It's a little simple, but it's still pretty comfortable. Why don't you make do and stay in my place tonight?"

Bulma glanced at the crude wooden cabin and frowned slightly, as if weighing whether she truly wanted to stay there.

She shook her head casually, with a subtle hint of distaste. "Hmm... your place does have a rustic charm, but it's way too shabby. I'm not used to staying somewhere like this."

There was a trace of helplessness in her tone. Clearly, she was not particularly fond of such a rough environment.

Watching Bulma shake her head, Goku secretly laughed. As expected, a luxurious house suits a young lady better! She must have forgotten how inconvenient places like this can be. The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously as he thought Bulma would definitely prefer her refined, luxurious lifestyle.

Bulma rolled her eyes, completely unmoved. She took a capsule from her pocket, pressed it lightly, and tossed it out. With a bang, the capsule burst open in midair. A few seconds later, an exquisite, luxurious little villa appeared out of thin air before them.

Goku's eyes widened as he stared at the villa. Its exterior was bright white, beautiful curtains hung in the windows, brightly colored flowers bloomed in the flowerbeds outside, and several small trees had been trimmed neatly, giving it a warm yet modern feel.

A few delicate potted plants sat by the entrance, making it look incredibly stylish, like an elegant little villa.

Goku was dumbstruck. Bulma's capsule technology is incredible! Being able to carry such a huge house around anytime, anywhere is practically like having cheats!

Bulma shot Goku a proud glance and raised an eyebrow. "So? My capsule house is nice, right? It's much more comfortable than your wooden cabin."

Goku nodded with an admiring look, pretending to be envious. "As expected of Miss Bulma. It's truly luxurious!"

"Goku, come in and stay here." Bulma smiled slightly and beckoned to him.

Goku froze for a moment, secretly delighted. Sure! I've been wanting to experience a luxurious life too!

The villa's interior was simple yet cozy. Soft lighting filled every corner, making it feel comfortable.

Bulma tidied up the things in the house one by one, while Goku excitedly looked around at this environment so different from his little wooden cabin.

Once she had finished, Bulma frowned at Goku, pointed at his clothes, and waved her hand. "Goku, your clothes are way too dirty! Take them off quickly. I'll put them in the washing machine."

Goku paused, but then remembered that he had barely changed clothes since crossing over. So he nodded, took off his clothes, and handed them to Bulma.

Suddenly, Bulma's gaze sharpened. Staring behind him, she cried out in surprise, "Goku! What's that behind you? Why... why do you have a tail?!"

Goku froze, then turned and saw his own furry monkey tail. Startled, he thought, Ah, right, my tail. I completely forgot about that!

An idea came to him, and he grinned at Bulma. "Oh, this? It's nothing special. I'm transformed from a monkey!" Internally, he imitated Goku's innocent manner. After saying that, he even wagged his tail, pretending not to care.

Bulma looked him over with a puzzled expression, her brows knitting slightly before she burst out laughing. "Transformed from a monkey? You really know how to joke! I couldn't tell before, but you're quite funny, kid!"

"Forget it, I'm a little dirty today too, so I might as well wash up with you." Bulma then took off her dress as well and casually tossed her clothes into the washing machine. Watching the scene before him, Goku nearly got a nosebleed, but he secretly laughed. She really thinks I'm just a child.

Bulma seriously set the washing machine, completely unaware of Goku's little thoughts.

The washing machine began turning softly. Bulma wiped her hands, turned around, and waved to Goku. "Goku, come take a bath! You'll be clean after you wash up."

Goku secretly rejoiced. Heavens, I just crossed over and I'm already getting this kind of treatment! Full of anticipation, he followed Bulma toward the bathroom.

The bathroom was decorated in a particularly cozy style. Warm-colored lights reflected off the tiles, and the faint sound of water filled the room. Bulma turned on the faucet, and warm water immediately poured out.

"Come on, get in already." Bulma urged him as she began taking off her shoes, her delicate feet stepping into the bathtub.

Goku jumped in without hesitation.

"Huh, Goku, why is the tail in front of you standing up?"

"Ah, maybe it thinks the water's a little too hot!"

"Really? Then I'll lower the temperature a little."

"Goku, why is it still like that even after I lowered the temperature?"

"Ahem, maybe it wants to take a bath too."

"Oh, I see. Then I'll help it take a bath."

"It feels so nice! This is fun!"

An hour later, Goku and Bulma finally finished bathing, and both of them felt completely exhausted.

Bulma yawned and pointed at the large bed in the room. "Goku, today was really exhausting. Let's sleep on this bed tonight."

Goku's heart fluttered, but he merely nodded on the surface, trying to keep his voice calm. "Sure, I'm pretty tired too."

Once they lay down, Bulma fell asleep almost immediately, while Goku kept his eyes open, still excited about everything that had happened today. After a while, he gradually drifted off as well.

When Goku woke up groggily, he suddenly felt a warm pressure against his body. Looking down, he discovered that his entire small body was being held in Bulma's arms, while she slept soundly.

Goku froze, then secretly rejoiced and could not help muttering softly, "She's using me as a body pillow, isn't she? This really is a perk of crossing over!"

He carefully stayed still, afraid of waking Bulma. This journey after crossing over is truly wonderful.

Bulma opened her eyes slightly and saw Goku. Still half-asleep, she mumbled, "Morning... little Goku."

Morning sunlight streamed through the window. Goku and Bulma both climbed out of bed and stretched.

Bulma walked over to the washing machine and found that the clothes had already been washed and dried, so she took out their respective outfits.

"Here, Goku, put on your clothes." Bulma handed his clothes to him.

Goku took them and quickly got dressed. Bulma opened the wardrobe, took out a clean set of clothes from a capsule, and changed rapidly.

After changing, Bulma took out some breakfast from a capsule and placed it on the table. Smiling, she said, "Eat up. Once we're full, we'll continue looking for the Dragon Balls."

Goku's eyes lit up as he looked at the lavish breakfast. This is way too blissful! They ate breakfast while discussing the next part of their journey.

Bulma took out the Dragon Radar and pointed in one direction. "The next Dragon Ball is over there. Let's set out right away."
