Chapter 53 53 Tragic Future, Love Across Time
Aaron quickly waved his hands: "Don't talk nonsense! I've lived an upright life. How could I have gotten a woman behind your backs!"
Bulma nodded: "That's true."
"Exactly! If I got one, I'd do it openly. I wouldn't hide it…"
"If you're handsome, it's reasonable for women to throw themselves at you, right?"
"Pfft…" Launch couldn't help but snort with laughter.
No.21 still covered her mouth, her smile widening.
"You think I'm a woman Aaron picked up on the side???"
"Hahahaha, that's hilarious…"
"Bulma, Launch, the you of this timeline is so cute!"
"That Time Machine was actually built by Bulma!"
Bulma was shocked: "What? We've never met before, have we? Who are you? How do you know us?"
No.21 laughed as she walked forward.
"Stop! What are you doing?"
Unexpectedly, No.21 flickered, teleported in front of Aaron, hugged his waist, and kissed him deeply.
Aaron's body trembled.
Her lips were… very smooth…
No.21 cupped Aaron's face with both hands, tears falling from her eyes.
"I haven't seen you in over twenty years, hubby. I've missed you so much."
Time Machine, hubby, over twenty years…
These words completely scrambled Bulma and Launch's thoughts.
Aaron was only twenty-three, and since this woman called him hubby, how could he have been married twenty years ago?
He didn't even exist back then.
Even if he did, he'd be a baby.
No.21 released Aaron and looked at Bulma's belly.
"It's Age 763 now, Bulma. The one you're carrying is definitely Alice."
"In the future, she will be very strong. Perhaps she's still alive…"
Bulma was shocked again: "How do you know I'm going to name her Alice? Time Machine? Could it be…"
No.21 nodded: "Yes, you guessed right. My name is Vomi. I've come back from the future."
Aaron was puzzled, 'As a Transmigrator with a system, couldn't the future me handle Dragon Ball's villains?'
So he asked: "Come back from the future? Did we all die in the future?"
Launch quickly rubbed her head, messing up her hair.
"Oh, what are you all talking about? It's so confusing…"
No.21 smiled faintly and said coquettishly: "Hubby, Bulma, Launch, I traveled across time to find you. Won't you let me sit down and talk?"
The three began to understand.
This woman was from the future, called Aaron 'hubby', and called them so familiarly. She must be a wife Aaron married in the future.
Bulma and Launch understood... they'd been planning to find someone else to share the burden.
Finding someone else for him in the future was perfectly normal.
Soon, they went inside and sat on the sofa.
Aaron asked: "Were we defeated by future Androids?"
No.21's pupils contracted: "You know about Androids? You know about Dr. Gero's secret activities?"
Aaron nodded: "Don't ask how I know. Were we really killed by Androids?"
No.21 shook her head: "No!"
"In the future, Androids 17 and 18, with Goku dead and no one to take revenge on, went crazy and killed many people. But you killed both of them. You also killed Cell."
"Later, even when Majin Buu appeared, you dealt with him too. I was awakened after you defeated Majin Buu. Dr. Gero's hidden computer added Majin Buu's cells to my body, modifying it."
"With Majin Buu's cells fused in me, granting infinite regeneration, I floated in space and reformed, surviving that world-ending crisis."
Aaron was even more puzzled. "Wait, you were born over twenty years from now. How are you my wife?"
"I wasn't born twenty years from now. I was born long ago. And before I was turned into an Android, I already knew you. Later, by chance, we got married."
"I was just frozen for over twenty years. That's why I still look young. Back then, you chased me for a whole month!"
"But when I found out you had Bulma, Launch, and Yurin, and you still pursued me, I struggled for a long time before deciding to date you."
"You were so warm back then, sending flowers, taking me out to play, going shopping and to the movies, buying me bags…"
"I was just a young girl back then. I'd never seen anything like it. I couldn't resist your charm offensive."
As she spoke, a blush appeared on No.21's face.
Bulma and Launch's expressions were strange. Their lips twitched.
Although they had married Aaron first and fallen in love later, Aaron had used the same tactics.
He made them happy every day.
So they were starting to believe this woman's story.
No.21 continued: "But back then, I was still an ordinary person. Knowing you had Bulma and Launch, I never took that final step with you and even rejected you."
"So you stopped contacting me. But after you left, your face never left my mind. Only then did I realize I had fallen in love with you."
"But I was already no longer in your world…"
No.21 looked at Aaron, her expression full of yearning resentment.
"Stupid husband. Saying you didn't want me, just like that. You're so heartless. Tease and run."
Aaron lowered his head, not looking at her.
No.21's face was too distinctive, definitely the Dragon Ball goddess.
As a Transmigrator, seeing her, he definitely had to have her.
'What she says is probably true.'
'Even if she is a goddess, I am who I am.'
'If I can win her, fine. If not, fine. There's no need to drag it out. That was my style.'
No.21 continued: "Later, no other boy ever caught my eye again. So I lived alone, but you were always in my head."
"Until one day, Dr. Gero's mind-controlled robots captured me, injected me with drugs, and kept me unconscious for over twenty years. I only woke up after Majin Buu's cells were fused into me."
"The first thing I did when I woke up was destroy Gero's lab and all the computer equipment."
"After finally be reunited with you, we could take that final step and have a child of our own."
"But a second personality was born within me. Sensing your immense power, it suppressed my mind and wanted to devour you."
"So the second personality took control and fought you."
"Luckily, the angel Whis happened to be on Earth looking for Bulma's good food. He witnessed our battle and completely extinguished my predatory urges."
"A few days later, we got married."
"However, that day was also when the nightmare began."
"A being named Zamasu appeared!"
Aaron was stunned again, 'The timeline became so confusing?'
"Zamasu?"
No.21 was surprised again: "You know him too?"
"Ah… no?"
No.21 took a deep breath, wiped a tear, and continued.
"Then listen. Don't interrupt."
Aaron: "Okay."
Bulma: "…"
Launch: "…"
Bulma and Launch's faces inexplicably turned red.
