"What kind of people are you?" Even though Launch with blue hair didn't know who stood before her, she was aware that these individuals had saved her. Otherwise, she might have faced imprisonment. Over the years, she had encountered such situations countless times. Though she always managed to escape in the end, it still left her shaken and terrified.
"Those who saved you." Ryoha replied, unsure how to explain further. Guided by Bulma, they arrived at the best room in a hotel under the control of Capsule Corporation. Capsule Corporation was not just about developing the Capsule technology. Every aspect of life had been influenced by the existence of Capsules.
Hence, in the absence of the Artificial Humans created by Dr. Gero, Earth was under the influence of the Capsule Corporation. The CEO, Madam, and Bulma were treated with utmost deference. The Capsule Corporation was, in fact, the mightiest conglomerate on Earth, far surpassing the combined power of the second to ninth conglomerates in the top ten.
Thus, Bulma held an incredibly high status on Earth. Even the king himself wouldn't dare disrespect her. Living in this environment, Bulma displayed only a trace of a spoiled attitude, and for the most part, she behaved like a refined lady, which was commendable considering the circumstances.
"You always seem to encounter beautiful women wherever you go." Bulma remarked sarcastically. She was greatly irritated. This guy causing trouble in the Naruto world was one thing, but now, everywhere he went in the Dragon Ball world, he met beautiful women.
However, Launch's flustered appearance and her seemingly innocent and kind eyes reminded Bulma of the pure-heartedness of Hinata and the innocence of Haku.
However, compared to Hinata and Haku, Blue-haired Launch exuded an even greater sense of kindness, giving off an aura of being caring, hardworking, and honest. Bulma couldn't bring herself to get angry. Moreover, when Ryoha whispered into her ear about the influence of the blonde-haired Launch on her, making such a good-hearted woman homeless for so many years, Bulma found it difficult to be mad. In the end, she could only bite Ryoha hard as a way to vent her frustration.
"Did I do something wrong again?" Obviously, Blue-haired Launch thought that blonde-haired Launch had caused trouble while she wasn't present, causing Bulma's anger.
"No, no, you're good. How could you possibly do something wrong?" Ryoha hurriedly waved his hands, and Blue-haired Launch immediately relaxed, relieved.
"I guess you have nowhere to go now. Why don't you come and stay at my place with Bulma?" Ryoha invited.
"Wouldn't that be bothering you?" Honestly, Launch had never encountered such a kind offer before. Since the arrival of the blonde-haired Launch, she had been homeless, let alone someone inviting her to stay with them and take care of her. With her pure mind, she hadn't considered that someone might have malicious intentions towards her.
"No, not at all!" Bulma smiled, but she was pinching Ryoha's soft flesh around the waist, giving him a different kind of "enjoyment." Fortunately, Ryoha had a strong body. However, the current Bulma was also quite powerful. The pinching sensation was quite painful.
"I can do laundry, cleaning, and cooking. I'll take care of these things for you later. Otherwise, I might feel a little embarrassed!" Launch stuck out her tongue cutely, a sight that left Ryoha stunned. Having seen plenty of beautiful women in the Naruto world, the beauty in the Dragon Ball world was indeed of a different style.
Upon returning to West City, Mrs. Brief was indeed exceedingly beautiful. Her mature and alluring appearance reminded Ryoha of Bulma in her late twenties and early thirties, during her most enchanting phase. It didn't feel strange at all, almost as if Bulma had just gone on a short trip. Mrs. Brief greeted them casually and then came over to Ryoha.
"Hey handsome, are you Bulma's boyfriend? How about going on a date with Auntie?" Although Mrs. Brief seemed bold and teasing, if one paid attention, they would notice that there was actually quite a distance between her body and Ryoha. Obviously, like Bulma, she appeared to be mouthy and teasing on the outside, but she was actually an extremely conservative woman. Similarly, she wanted to use her charm to see what kind of person Bulma's friend was. If he was a lecher, no matter how well he hid it, he would show some of his true colors. Clearly, Mrs. Brief was no pushover. She didn't want her daughter to be with someone who had issues.
"Are you really Bulma's mother? I can't imagine Bulma's mother being this young!" Who was Ryoha? He had been tested by women in the Naruto world. Even if he had any improper thoughts, he didn't show it on his face. Besides, he had Bulma, who was eyeing him sharply. It was better to behave himself, especially as a newcomer.
"I'm warning you, don't you dare have any ideas about my mom!" Bulma whispered to Ryoha. Clearly, she knew how much attraction her mother held for Ryoha.
"How could I?" Ryoha wore an expression that said, "I absolutely am not that kind of person." However, his next words made Bulma so angry that she almost jumped and cursed at him: "If it's not me having ideas about your mom, but your mom having ideas about me, then it's not a problem?"
"You stop right there!" Bulma was taken aback for a moment before she got angry and chased after him. Launch with blue hair looked at them with envy. She also wanted to be like them, but she was currently a wanted criminal, feared by everyone. Unexpectedly, these two people had taken her in and treated her so well. Moreover, the girl was actually the heiress of Capsule Corporation. It warmed Launch's heart. These two treated her as if she wasn't an outsider at all.
In the following days, Ryoha used the Master Roshi's technique every day. It wasn't that he was addicted to it; it was only during this practice that he could sense the presence of energy. He aimed to comprehend the energy within him during this brief time using the Master Roshi's technique. He even wanted to control the energy just like the technique did and use it according to his will.
Although it seemed foolish to do so, the gains were apparent. Constantly training and improving, his tail had not only eliminated its weaknesses but had also turned into a powerful attacking appendage, as resilient as his hands and feet. No matter how it was squeezed or even broken, it no longer affected Ryoha.
As his strength continued to grow, he increasingly felt the energy within his body. He even managed to sense the flow of energy within him without using the Master Roshi's technique. As for controlling the energy, it would take some more time, but he wasn't worried. There was still a long time until the World Martial Arts Tournament!
