"So… why did you bring me here? Is something going on?" Launch asked Krillin, finally snapping out of her thoughts after seeing Broly lie down on a beach chair to nap.
"It's nothing serious," Krillin said with an awkward laugh. "We just hoped you could stay here for a while."
"No problem! I actually wanted to stay," Launch replied with a blush, secretly glancing at Broly again.
Krillin wiped sweat from his forehead silently.
"Oh, and by the way… I'm being chased by the police," Launch added with a smile.
"Chased?" Krillin froze. "Those policemen earlier were after you? Weren't they bad guys?"
"They were real police," Launch nodded.
"Huh?" Krillin looked confused. "Why would the police chase you?"
"Look at this money," Launch whispered quietly, lowering her voice so Broly wouldn't hear and think she was a bad girl.
"I robbed a bank… and hijacked a train before."
"You must be joking," Krillin said nervously with a forced laugh. "You don't look like someone who would do that. You're probably just a rich girl, right?"
"You'd better be careful," Launch warned. "Whenever I sneeze, my personality changes completely."
"She's so beautiful!" Master Roshi suddenly appeared, looking overwhelmingly excited.
Launch jumped in surprise.
Roshi then turned to Son Goku and Krillin, praising them repeatedly.
"You two did a fantastic job!"
"So… does that mean we can train now?" Goku asked.
"Hehe… what do you think?" Krillin whispered into Roshi's ear.
"Her figure and looks are incredible—definitely above 97 points!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Roshi nodded vigorously.
"Alright! I accept both of you as my students!"
Goku and Krillin jumped excitedly.
"Welcome, welcome…" Roshi said cheerfully while greeting Launch.
…
Just like that, Launch began living in Roshi's house.
Goku and Krillin's training officially began.
However, Launch had her own motives for staying.
One reason was to hide from the police.
The other was…
To pursue Broly.
During the time Goku and Krillin were training, Launch constantly prepared various delicious meals for Broly.
Previously, most of the food Broly ate had been pre-packaged meals Roshi bought.
He had rarely tasted food cooked fresh.
The moment he tried Launch's cooking—
He discovered what real delicious food tasted like.
"Th-this… these are dumplings?" Broly asked while pointing at them.
"They're amazing."
"Huh? Haven't you eaten them before?" Launch asked curiously.
"I have," Broly said.
He opened the refrigerator and pulled out a bag of frozen dumplings.
"That's frozen food," Launch said with a gentle smile.
"How can that compare to freshly made dumplings?"
"Mm."
Broly began eating enthusiastically.
Launch had prepared over 500 dumplings.
Originally, she had planned to share them among Broly, Goku, and Krillin.
But Broly ended up eating all of them by himself.
From that day forward—
Launch never wanted to make dumplings again.
Because Broly ate them far too quickly.
Making 500 dumplings alone was exhausting.
"By the way, Broly," Launch asked casually,
"why don't you train with Master Roshi?"
"If you train with him, maybe you could become the strongest fighter in the world. I heard Goku and Krillin want to participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament."
"No," Broly shook his head immediately.
"I'm not interested in training."
"I see… well, that's okay," Launch said with a cheerful giggle.
"You're Master Roshi's grandson after all. He'll protect you."
"Besides…" Broly scratched his head.
"I feel like the old man is pretty weak."
"Huh?" Launch blinked. "What did you say?"
"The old man isn't that strong," Broly said honestly.
"If we actually fought, he might not even be able to beat me."
"Ah?! But he's the God of Martial Arts!" Launch quickly whispered nervously.
"You really shouldn't think like that… you might get beaten up."
"Hmm…" Broly looked at her.
"Master Roshi may seem ordinary," Launch said quietly while glancing outside.
"But he's actually very powerful. He just hasn't shown you his real strength."
"Anyway, stop talking—he's back."
Sure enough, Roshi had just returned.
But when he saw Broly and Launch chatting happily together—
His face immediately darkened.
I asked Goku and Krillin to bring me a cute and beautiful girl.
They did bring one.
And she even moved in.
But now she's spending all her time with Broly!
I must have owed him something in my past life!
He even stole my girlfriend!
"Launch, have you prepared dinner yet?" Roshi asked.
"Ah… I'm working on it now. Sorry," Launch replied with a polite smile.
"Why do I smell dumplings?" Roshi sniffed suspiciously.
"Broly was hungry, so I cooked him some frozen dumplings," Launch explained.
"You brat," Roshi said while glaring at Broly.
"All you do is eat and sleep!"
Broly just grinned without getting angry.
"Thanks for your help, Launch," Roshi said politely.
"Please prepare a little extra food. Goku and Krillin trained very hard today."
"ACHOO!"
But the moment Roshi finished speaking—
Launch suddenly sneezed.
Roshi's face instantly changed.
He ran out of the room at top speed to hide.
In the blink of an eye—
Launch transformed into a blonde version of herself, her expression turning fierce.
She glared at Broly aggressively.
Broly stared back calmly without fear.
The two locked eyes briefly.
"You know…" Broly said thoughtfully,
"I think this version of you looks better than the blue-haired one."
"Of course!" Blonde Launch said proudly with her hands on her hips.
"I'm way better than that weak woman!"
"Mm," Broly nodded.
"Hey! Didn't you promise to go on a date with me last time?" Launch snorted.
She grabbed Broly by the collar and pulled him closer.
"You better keep your promises!"
"You're standing a little too close," Broly said awkwardly.
"I like handsome guys like you!" Launch said boldly.
"Come with me!"
She dragged Broly toward the house.
Broly: "..."
Outside, Roshi watched the scene with extreme jealousy.
This brat doesn't realize how lucky he is.
A girl this bold and forward…
If it were me, I'd be thrilled!
However—
Just as Launch dragged Broly into the room—
"ACHOO!"
She sneezed again.
Her hair instantly turned back to blue.
"Huh? I didn't do anything inappropriate, did I?" Launch asked nervously.
She immediately released Broly and turned bright red with embarrassment.
"N-no… nothing happened," Broly said awkwardly.
