Holy Crap! This Mai Is the Wrong Age

Bulma stared blankly for a moment as she looked at the dilapidated laboratory around her.

Isn't she already dead?

Even on her deathbed, she saw Son Goku coming to pick her up.

Shouldn't she be in the Other World now? Could it be that she's still alive?

Bulma could hardly believe it.

"Could it be that the Goku Black spared me?" Bulma's mind hadn't quite caught up yet, her face full of confusion and bewilderment.

Given the Goku Black's insane and hateful nature towards humans, there should be absolutely no way he would let him go; there must be another reason behind this.

"Yo~! Bulma, you're awake." Just then, Son Goku arrived by sheer coincidence using Instant Transmission.

His sudden appearance startled Bulma.

"Goku Black! Don't come any closer!!" Bulma hurriedly retreated to the corner, cowering there, her eyes filled with deep fear.

She was genuinely terrified.

"Bulma, I'm not that imposter. Don't you even recognize me?" Son Goku looked at Bulma's terrified face and flashed his signature smile.

At the same time, the sight of the elderly Bulma filled him with sorrow and bitterness.

Although Bulma from his world and Bulma from this world are the same person, their appearances are completely different.

The world with him and the world without him are vastly different.

"You... you really are... Son-kun?!" Bulma couldn't believe it, her eyes filled with deep surprise.

Her beautiful eyes scanned Son Goku from head to toe, and finally she covered her mouth in surprise.

But she quickly realized that Son Goku in this world was long dead, and the guy in front of her must be Goku Black.

The Goku Black wanted to torment her before she died.

"No!! You're not Son-kun! Goku Black, you can't fool me." Bulma's eyes flashed with intense hostility.

Looking at Bulma, who refused to believe her identity, Son Goku couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"Um... Bulma, I really am Son Goku. You can look again if you don't believe me." Son Goku walked up to Bulma, squatted down, and said.

Upon hearing this, Bulma raised her head and carefully looked Son Goku up and down.

After about half a minute of debating whether it was true or false, Bulma was completely certain that the person in front of her was Son Goku.

"You... you're really Son-kun? You've been resurrected?!" Bulma blinked in disbelief, her mind not quite processing what was happening.

"This matter can't be explained in just a few words," Son Goku said with a wry smile, scratching his head.

Ten minutes have passed.

Bulma and Son Goku sat facing each other at the dilapidated tea table and began to talk.

Son Goku told Bulma the reason for his arrival without missing a single detail.

Having learned the whole story, Bulma immediately understood why Son Goku had appeared before her.

This is Son Goku from another time and space.

"So, you're not the Son-kun of this world..." After receiving the answer, Bulma rested her chin on her hands, gazing at Son Goku with her beautiful eyes, and said with a hint of nostalgia, "It's truly unbelievable to see you again after so many years."

Although the Son Goku before him was not the Son Goku of this world, he was definitely the most reliable and trustworthy man in his mind.

"It's truly incredible that I suddenly came into this world."

"But perhaps this is fate."

Son Goku said with a smile.

Bulma's expression was very complicated as she looked at the man in front of her, who was both familiar and unfamiliar, and memories from decades ago flooded her mind.

If Son Goku in this world hadn't died of Heart Virus back then, she wouldn't have suffered so much.

The world wouldn't have become so desolate.

Just as Bulma was filled with countless emotions, a gunshot shattered the peaceful moment.

A reinforced bullet struck Son Goku precisely in the back of the head.

"Ouch! Ouch!" The sudden attack made Son Goku cry out in pain.

"Goku Black! Stay away from Aunt Bulma!" Behind Son Goku, a woman in an old coat was pointing a shotgun at Son Goku.

Who else could this girl be but Mai?

"Ouch! Who hit me?" Son Goku turned around and saw Mai pointing a shotgun at him.

Looking at the girl before him, Son Goku fell into deep thought. Why did she seem so familiar? Had he seen her somewhere before?

"Mai, don't shoot! He's not Goku Black!" Bulma hurriedly stepped in front of Son Goku and explained to Mai.

"He's not Goku Black?" Mai blinked in confusion upon hearing this, looking Son Goku up and down with puzzled eyes.

As she sized up Son Goku, Son Goku was also sizing her up.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Son Goku's mind, and he remembered something.

"I remember now! You're Mai! The Mai who used to be by Pilaf's side!" Son Goku exclaimed in surprise, pointing Mai Xiao Wu.

Upon hearing Son Goku's words, Mai suddenly realized and exclaimed, "You're Son Goku?!"

"Huh??!!" Bulma, standing between the two, was even more bewildered.

She looked around, constantly switching between Son Goku and Mai.

Memories flooded his mind, and a familiar face overlapped with the Mai before him.

She remembered that decades ago, when she was searching for the Dragon Ball with Son Goku, there was a woman named Mai by Pilaf's side!

Overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information, Bulma stared wide-eyed at Mai with disbelief.

As far as she knew, Mai and Trunks had a good relationship; she could even be considered Trunks' future wife.

But upon closer reflection, if this Mai is the same Mai who was by Pilaf's side back then... wouldn't she be older than her?!

"Um... Bulma... Son Goku... I can explain..." Mai was a little embarrassed, realizing that her identity had been exposed.

After all, he was actually older Bulma, and he was also involved with her son.

It would be unreasonable not to explain this...

Soon, the three of them sat around the tea table, and Mai began to recount her experiences.

The reason she became so young was entirely due to the Dragon Ball. When she and Pilaf found the Dragon Ball, they wished to Shenron to make the three of them younger.

But who could have imagined that the Shenron would trick them, turning the three of them into children?

After growing up year after year, she finally regained her original figure and looked much younger Bulma.

Upon learning the whole story, Bulma covered her mouth in astonishment.

"So you really are that Mai!" Bulma gasped.

"No wonder he looks so young, it's because he used the Dragon Ball." Son Goku understood everything.
