Reunion Plans? Chichi Setting Up Goten

Meanwhile, on the planet of the Grand Kai, Goku was brimming with excitement. "Great! All problems have finally been solved. Goten is truly formidable. I can't help but want to spar with him."

He was proud of his son, wwho, despite his immense power, still retained his kind heart. He had not killed Majin Buu, but instead eliminated the evil within him, leaving only the kind-hearted Majin Buu.

Gohan was still in a state of surprise. "Goten, I wonder what kind of training he has undergone to attain such a formidable level of strength." Each Saiyan was considered a genius fighter, but compared to Goten, there seemed to be a significant gap.

North Kai, glancing at Goku and Gohan, expressed his admiration for Goten. "I like the kid Goten very much. He possesses super strength, but he is not influenced by it. He still maintains a kind heart, which is very similar to the two of you."

He seemed to appreciate the fact that Goten had not killed the kind Majin Buu, which demonstrated that Goten's heart was still kind and not swayed by his powerful abilities.

At this time, the Grand Kai also spoke. "I think for this, you should be most grateful to Goku's wife. Without her guidance, it would be impossible to raise such an excellent son!"

Vegeta, however, remained silent, his face livid. Looking at Trunks beside him, he wished he could kick him in the face. Both of them were half-Saiyans, and of the same age. Trunks was even a year older than Goten. But their strengths were vastly different. Trunks was still a naive kid, while Goten had matured like an adult.

Suddenly, Goku expressed his desire to return to Earth. "I really want to go back to Earth to see it!" He had always felt that there was no need to continue with resurrection after death. It was best to follow the laws of natural development. There was nothing to remember about what happened on Earth. But now, Goten's appearance and his powerful strength made his heart restless.

"Hmph! Don't think I don't know what's going on in your heart, Kakarot," Vegeta retorted coldly.

"Don't think we don't know that you just want to fight that kid. With all due respect, with your current strength, you can't even defeat that brat's normal state." Of course, what he said was true. That was indeed Goku's idea.

Although he said that he wanted to return to Earth, he just wanted to experience the power of Goten by fighting with him. He knew that even if he transformed into Super Saiyan III, he might not be able to beat Goten's normal state.

After his thoughts were exposed, Goku could only smile awkwardly.

"Goku, it's better not to be resurrected at this juncture," Piccolo advised seriously. "Before, Chichi and Bulma asked us to be resurrected, but we refused! If you are resurrected now, Goten may not necessarily take this kindly. I know this from the fact that he didn't want to come to the Otherworld to help!"

If they couldn't be resurrected eight years ago, then maybe Chichi and Bulma wouldn't blame them. But they clearly had the chance to be resurrected but they rejected it.

All crises of the planet were resolved now, and Goten had the power to deal with any crisis. If they chose to resurrect at this time, it would not reflect well.

"Hey! I'm just talking about it," Goku hastily smiled awkwardly.

At this moment, North Kai on the side suddenly spoke. "Goku, do you really want to visit Earth? Do you really want to fight Goten?" He knew Goku very well. If there was no way to fight Goten, Goku would definitely not be reconciled. It just so happened that he had a way to make Goku realize this wish.

"Of course, Kaiō-sama. I do want to fight Goten. You know, when I meet such a super strong person, I will get uncontrollably excited," Goku immediately nodded firmly and said.

"Then I have a solution," North Kai continued.

"Hmm? What can I do, Kaiō-sama, hurry up and tell me," Goku immediately asked impatiently. And Vegeta and Piccolo on the side also stared straight at North Kai. They didn't know what good way he had that would allow them to fight Goten without resurrecting them.

"You all died to save the earth, you are the heroes who saved the earth. So according to the rules, I can give you a special day off and let you return to Earth for a day. After one day, you will have to come back here," North Kai said seriously.

Of course, this was just a reason he made up randomly. Goku was also considered his apprentice, so he just wanted to help him realize his wish.

"It's…that's great!! Thank you, Kaiō-sama," Goku hastily expressed his gratitude with excitement.

Although he didn't know if the reason just now was true, but he was very excited to be able to return to Earth and compete with Goten! Even one day was enough.

"Hey Kakarot, since we can only be allowed to visit for a day on Earth, let's choose half a month later!" Vegeta suddenly spoke with a serious face.

"Ah?! Why wait until half a month later? Vegeta. I can't wait now!" Goku looked at Vegeta suspiciously and asked. What good would it do to wait for half a month?

"Heh!! Because your current strength is too weak, you can't even beat Goten's normal state. Half a month is just enough time for you to train yourself well. I'm doing this for your own good," Vegeta snorted coldly, and said to Goku.

This explanation made everyone present look in disbelief! Vegeta actually learned to think for Goku, this was really the first and only time he ever said something like this. But Piccolo didn't think Vegeta would be so caring. This guy chose to request to go after half a month, he must have ulterior motives!

Of course, Vegeta did have ideas of his own. As for thinking about Goku, that was just an excuse. Because half a month later, it happened to be Bulma's birthday. To be honest, he hadn't seen Bulma for eight years, and he missed her, more or less.

Although he would not say such words, and he would only bury them in his heart. But this kind of reason was only known to him. And Trunks was now eight years old and hadn't been reunited with Bulma for as long as he could remember. This short visiting opportunity, was just in time for Bulma's birthday, and to let Trunks go to meet Bulma.

"All right! Vegeta is right. With my current strength, I can't even beat Goten's normal state. It's just a good time to take advantage of this time to train hard and improve our strength," Goku agreed.

He didn't care if what Vegeta said was true or not, but what he said did make sense. Presently, he simply did not have the strength to fight Goten. Then in the next half month, he would train desperately. Hopefully by then he would be able to catch up with the power of Goten's base combat power. That should be considered an exciting battle! At least for him, that was.

Afterwards, they returned to North Kai's planet and he began to train urgently.

...

At this time on Earth.

After Goten used Kai Kai, he arrived at the door of the house soon. But he didn't push the door open in a hurry. Because he heard Videl having a lively conversation with Chichi.

"Wow!! You actually have fifty suites in your house??"

"Really Videl, your family is too rich!"

"I suddenly feel that you and my Goten are a perfect match! You look so beautiful and delicate, and my family's Goten is also very handsome and strong. The two of you are simply a perfect match."

"Believe me, there is no other man in this world who is worthy of you except my Goten!" Chichi's voice was unusually loud, and Goten and Krillin at the door could hear them clearly.

"See Goten, I think exactly the same. I also think you two are a perfect match! Although Videl's strength is not very good, she is also very beautiful, right? And her family situation is really good, except for her unreliable father." After hearing Chichi's voice, Krillin immediately added.

From the moment they met, he felt that Goten and Videl were really a good match. The two of them were simply perfect! Unexpectedly, Chichi also held such a view. It was rare for him to be able to agree with Chichi on certain matters.

"Besides, as the saying goes, marry a girl who's three years older than you, you will hold a golden brick. Videl seems to be seven or eight years older than you, so you are holding lots of golden bricks." Krillin himself laughed when he said this. Even holding one golden brick was a demanding task for people.

"Three gold bricks! Do you want me to die of exhaustion?!" Goten joked. Nevertheless, their banter aside, the final decision on whom he would marry, still resides with him.Top of Form

[T/N: I couldn't quite translate this banter well. It's based on an old Chinese proverb that says 'a wife three years older comes with a gold brick.' It implies that a wife three years older than the husband ensures a richer and more satisfying life. Their banter contains sexual innuendo.]

At this time, another voice sounded in the room. " Chichi, I am so much older than Goten! And Goten doesn't seem to like me very much, he definitely wouldn't accept me." Videl said in a shy voice. It could be heard that she has a crush on Goten. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to say such a thing!

"You don't need to be afraid of that, Goten is my son. I know him best as his mother!"

"Goten is just young and a bit shy about things like this. Since you are older than Goten, you will have to take the initiative to court him!"

"I can tell you, if you miss this chance, you won't have this opportunity again." Chichi hurried on.

Goten, who was eavesdropping outside the door, had a look of exasperation on his face.

'I'm not even ten years old! Are you seriously setting me up like this? Are you even my mother?'

"Bwahaha!! This is too much…!" Krillin couldn't help but laugh at Goten's predicament. However, his laughter soon faded.

The thought of Goten, not even ten, soon having a girlfriend, while he, in his thirties, didn't even have one, was too much to bear. He hadn't even held a girl's hand!

The realization brought him close to tears. 'Life really is unfair,' he thought.

"Ha ha! Krillin, why the sudden gloom?" Goten teased, seeing Krillin's downcast face. "Don't worry, men become more attractive as they age."

Their laughter was loud enough to draw attention, and the door opened to reveal Videl and Chichi. "Huh? Goten, Krillin… When did you guys get back? And who's this pink, chubby fellow?" Chichi asked, looking at the trio.

Videl blushed instantly. She realized that Goten must have overheard their conversation. "It's been a while, Mom. This is Buu, he's my friend," Goten introduced. "Isn't he cute? By the way, we had a little skirmish earlier. But don't worry, everything's under control now."

"You went out to fight again? Are you injured?" Chichi quickly scanned Goten for any injuries, her maternal instincts kicking in.

"No, I am alright!" Goten shook his head and said.

Then he looked at Videl. At this moment, Videl's face turned even redder!

"Chichi, I just remembered I have something to do today. I'll visit again when I'm free," Videl said, before making a hasty exit.

"Come in quickly! I've prepared lots of food. With Videl gone, there's even more for you," Chichi invited them in.

…...

And so, time slipped away day by day. Ten days flew by in the blink of an eye!

Goten continued his rigorous training regimen, never slacking off. Majin Buu, with Chichi's help, began learning and even helped with housework. His intelligence improved rapidly, and he was soon able to communicate with them without any barriers.

Krillin also trained with Goten. Despite being an android, he was able to improve his strength through training.

At noon, when Goten went home for dinner, Videl returned to visit again. This time with a bunch of gifts, mostly delicious snacks and beautiful clothes for Chichi

After all she knew that if she wanted something to happen with Goten, she had to go through Chichi.

"Wow!! These dresses and skirts are beautiful, Videl! They must have cost a fortune!" Chichi exclaimed, holding the clothes fondly. Everyone liked beautiful things, and women would always love beautiful clothes and jewelry.

She hadn't bought new clothes for herself in a long time, having to feed two Saiyans left no extra money for such luxuries. Goten has also been busy with training and hadn't paid attention to this matter.

"Chichi, as long as you like them, it's worth it," Videl assured her. "The clothes are very beautiful, and I like them very much. But I'm a bit older, won't it be too flashy to wear these clothes?" Chichi asked, holding the clothes up to herself in front of the mirror.

"Chichi, you're not old at all, and these clothes suit you perfectly. I've also bought you some cosmetics," Videl said, glancing at Goten with a slight lift of her chin.
