Chapter 18: Everyone goes back to their own home, everyone goes back to their own mother!
After finally defeating Moz, the group returned to Kami's Lookout to receive treatment from Tenten. Goten said to Krillin, "Uncle Krillin, I'm sorry to have made you and me come all this way for nothing, and in the end we got nothing..."
Krillin interrupted, "It's alright, Goten. I'm the one who should apologize. Not only did I not help, but I also caused you to suffer such serious injuries several times."
Yamcha then said, "Krillin, what's your wish...?"
Klin blushed instantly and said shyly, "It's nothing, it's just that my child is about to be born, so I wanted to give her a pearl necklace as a gift..."
Upon hearing this, Yamcha took out a box, tossed it to Krillin, and said, "Take this. I originally intended to give it to Miss Akiko, but I don't need it now. It seems I can have a romantic date with her anyway, so you can keep it."
Krillin happily thanked Yamcha, while Tien Shinhan, after finishing his treatment, said to Goten, "Goten, you can come and spar with me anytime you have time. I feel like I can become stronger by fighting you. I'll head back now, Chiaotzu and Launch are waiting for me..." After saying that, he flew away.
Klin: "Did he say Lan Qi was there too...?"
Yamcha: "You heard me right, I heard it too."
Piccolo was lecturing Gohan: "Gohan, you've been discouraged time and time again during this battle. It seems your training can't be delayed any longer. From now on, you'll train with me again until I'm satisfied."
Gohan wanted to decline, so he said, "But what about Mom..."
Goten then interjected, "Don't worry, I'll tell Mom that you were kept after school by Uncle Piccolo. I'll also pack up your books and bring them over. Don't worry, it's what I, as the younger brother, should do."
Gohan stared speechlessly at Goten, and said helplessly, "Well... thank you so much..."
Then Goten came over to Tenten and whispered to her, "Then, please tell me that secret..."
Tenten: "Huh? What? Goten, do you have something to say? I don't know anything."
Seeing this, Goten understood and awkwardly laughed, "Yes...you're right. I'll go return the Dragon Radar to Aunt Bulma first." Then he said to Gohan, "Brother, I'm leaving now. I'll come back later to bring you the book..." After saying that, he flew away.
Seeing Goten leave, Krillin and Mocha also set off to return to where they belonged.
-
At Bulma's house in West City, Goten returned the Dragon Ball Radar to Bulma and was about to leave when Bulma stopped him. Bulma asked, "Goten, can you tell me about what happened when you collected the Dragon Balls? I really want to know how your clothes got lost."
Just as Goten was about to speak, Bulma stopped him, saying, "Wait a minute, I'll go get something to eat. You must be hungry too." With that, she went to get some food.
Seeing this, Goten had no choice but to sit down on the sofa. Just then, a little boy came out, and Goten's eyes met his. The atmosphere became awkward for a moment until a man walked out from behind him. Goten then realized what was happening and immediately stood up to greet him: "Uncle Vegeta, Trunks, hello! I'm Son Goten. Nice to meet you."
Trunks immediately became interested upon hearing this and said, "Oh, you're the son of Kakarot that Daddy mentioned. I heard you want to become stronger. Why don't you show me how powerful you are now?"
Vegeta chimed in, "Yeah...you shouldn't have any objections, right, you brat from the Kakarot family?"
Upon hearing this, Goten replied, "Um, can I eat something first? I just resolved the crisis of Earth's destruction, and I'm starving."
Trunks froze on the spot, and after a few seconds of stunned silence, he said, "Um... what did you mean just now?"
At this moment, Bulma also came over with food, so Vegeta had no choice but to let Goten fill his stomach first. While eating, Goten also talked about his battle with Moz.
After listening, Vegeta said, "From what you've said, it seems Gohan has gotten weaker over the years, right? That's a real shame..."
Goten awkwardly defended Gohan, saying, "No, it's Moz who's too shameless."
Before Goten could continue, Vegeta suddenly stood up and walked outside. As he left, he asked Goten, "Gohan is still at Kami's Lookout, right?"
After receiving Goten's affirmative answer, Vegeta snorted and flew away.
Upon seeing this, Goten thought to himself, "Sorry, Gohan, I never expected this."
-
Meanwhile, Krillin, upon returning to Master Roshi's House, was immediately met with a stern interrogation from Android 18: "Hey, where have you been these past few days? I haven't seen a soul in sight."
Klin hurriedly took out Yamcha and handed it to the necklace, saying, "I went to find a birth gift for the child." After saying that, he handed the necklace to Number 18.
Number 18 took the necklace, her anger instantly vanishing. She said gently, "Idiot, go wash your hands, dinner's ready."
-
Meanwhile, Akiko immediately took Yamcha's arm upon seeing him and said, "Let's start our date..."
Yamcha's face flushed instantly, and he replied in a trembling voice, "Okay, let's begin."
The two walked towards the amusement park together. As they walked, Akiko said, "That kid, you should bring him out to play sometime. I want to pinch his little cheeks again..."
Yamcha: "I understand. I'll find him later."
-
Tien Shinhan had just returned when he saw the martial arts school disciples enjoying their meal. Lan Qi then said to Tien Shinhan, "Stop daydreaming, here's your portion." She then tossed Tien Shinhan a box.
When the Tianjin rice was opened, it was revealed to be a lovingly prepared bento box by Lan Qi. Upon seeing this, the other disciples, including Jiaozi, immediately began to cheer—"Whoa..."
Tianjin Fan immediately turned red in the face and scolded everyone to finish their meal and go to training immediately...
-
Back with Goten, after eating and drinking to their hearts' content, they said goodbye to Bulma and made a promise with Trunks to spar again next time. Then they returned to Mount Paozu. Chi-Chi, seeing Goten return, immediately asked with concern, "Goten! What happened to you? Where are your clothes? And where's Gohan?"
Goten quickly explained, "It's like this... and then... and... so... that's it, I came back to get Gohan's textbooks."
Chi-Chi gave Goten a knowing look and said, "Goten, go take a shower and change your clothes. I'll go prepare some things for Piccolo, Gohan, and the others..."
-
After Goten finished his bath and changed his clothes, he took the things Chi-Chi had prepared to Kami's Lookout and found Vegeta fighting Gohan. He had no choice but to give the things to Piccolo first.
Piccolo opened the package and found clothes, books, some food capsules, and a letter that read: "Piccolo, if you dare to let Gohan's studies drop, you'll regret it!"
Piccolo glanced at the note and scoffed, then crumpled it up and tossed it aside before asking Goten, "Are you busy? If not, let's have a match. I'm itching for a fight right now."
Goten ((ー_ー)!!)

On King Kai's planet, Goku said to King Kai, "King Kai, thank you for letting me see how hard Gohan and Goten are working. I'm going to continue training now, because there might be an enemy even stronger than that Moz. Maybe I'll even be able to fight him then..."
After saying that, Goku continued his training, while King Kai pondered (who exactly taught Goten how to gather the Spirit Bomb? It's impossible for that kid to suddenly comprehend such a difficult technique, so who was it...?)
(Peace has returned to the world once again, and King Kai's worries were not unfounded. What is the origin of the angel who is guiding Goten? How will Goten seek to become stronger? Let's wait and see...)
