Chapter 23: Capsule corporation
Bulma was having a great time with Raditz, he was everything she ever wanted!
So she was trying her best to make this work, Bulma style.
" Raditz, it's going to be dark soon, wanna come to my house for the night? "
Bulma turned to Raditz and asked with a pure smile, but Raditz didn't respond to the kind offer naively, for he could read minds.
" Hmph. "
He hummed as he thought how he should go about this, the plans hatching in Bulma's mind were outrageous, but keeping in touch was always good.
So Raditz thought of a compromise for now.
" Naah I am good, how about this, come to the kame house tomorrow, we will hang out after I finish my training. "
* Sigh *
Bulma gave an audible sigh as her idea didn't work out, she had a whole thing planned in her head for tonight.
Pity, she will have to make do with this, if only Roshi wasn't there to mess with the atmosphere.
" Well, we could hang out tomorrow then, we can also start working on upgrading C-18. "
Compromising for now, Bulma gave out an offer she knew he wouldn't refuse, upgrading this flying machine, capsule number 18.
This way they will spend a lot of time together discussing things he loves, now that she thinks about it, this works too.
" Sure thing, I'll bring my spaceship by then, I think Miguel wanted to take a look at it, hopefully she didn't misplace the parts. "
Raditz murmered the last part as he remembered how ditzy she could get sometimes, but Bulma snapped her head towards Raditz at the comment.
With wide eyes she asked him the first thing that came to her mind.
" Who is that?? "
Understanding that she came off a little strong, Bulma gave a silly laugh right after.
But Raditz didn't mind, as his mind was currently on if or not his spaceship was fine.
" Her? I think her stage name was angel? She was a pretty famous singer a few years ago, I live with her family right now. "
Raditz oversimplified the explanation, technically the house was now his and they were the ones who lived with him.
Bulma racked her brain and finally remembered the beautiful lady named angel.
" Her?! Wasn't she married to a martial arts master a while back? Oh thank god.. "
" Huh? "
Looking at Raditz's questioning face Bulma corrected herself.
" I mean thank god you have a good family giving you shelter, but Raditz you can't always impose on them, you can come to my house! My father is the richest man in the world, we have plenty of space for you."
Resisting the urge to say he might soon overtake her father in wealth if his plan worked out, Raditz kept mum.
And only nodded after thinking about it for a while, alright, he could fly, he would go to Satan manor quickly if need arises.
" Yes! "
Bulma this time around didn't even bother hiding her happiness, as she celebrated right there on the plane.
Raditz didn't care and smiled along, it was good for him too, the technology hub of earth was going to be his home for the foreseeable future it seems.
Using this opportunity to learn everything he could from doctor Brief's was his idea, he was the one who taught Bulma after all.
* Woosh *
Meanwhile they had arrived at Bulma's house while talking, Raditz slowed down the plane appropriately.
Taking a look at the large building with capsule corporation written in bold, Raditz gave an impressed look.
" I think we are here, you weren't kidding huh, this is a huge place, and is that an automatic tail massager I am seeing here, sweet! "
Bulma sweatdropped as she looked towards the automatic sausage tenderiser, aka the ' tail massager '.
And shook her head hard to deny Raditz's dangerous words.
" That is not a tail massager! Why would I even have that here?! That's to make meat tender! Don't go putting your tail in it!! "
Raditz scratched his hair looking at the machine, it was very much looking like a device he saw on planet masa.
" I see, well, this design is something I have seen used for tail massaging, I didn't know meat here was so weak it breaks down with such little force. "
Bulma heaved a sigh, this was so hard, all of her friends were out there, she would have to make sure Raditz understands things around here.
" Well it's not! Don't go touching anything on your own alright? At least learn what does what first. "
Shrugging without a care, Raditz landed the plane in the lawn, as he spoke while parking.
" Cut me some slack, I am new to this planet, and your house is high tech. "
Bulma again sighed but this time had a smile on her lips, the high tech stuff laying around was their pride and joy after all.
Bulma went out opening the door and Raditz came out right after, just in time to see a beautiful blonde lady walking towards the duo.
" Oh my! Bulma you are home? Oh! Are you her friend? Would you like some cookies dear? "
Bulma waved her hand at her mom, panchy and shouted.
" Mom! I will take care of him myself! "
Panchy tilted her head with her ever-present smile and closed eyes as she giggled.
" Oh Bulma don't be like that, I'll bring you guys something to eat. "
And with that panchy left with a happy mood, leaving Bulma to chase after her, as her mom would never listen anyway.
Raditz meanwhile was left alone and silently touched his chin, looking thoughtfully towards the tail massager.
