Chapter 95: Pursuit
"Hey, wait! Just where do you think you're going...!?" exclaimed Goku, noticing Bulma heading toward his home and hurrying to catch up and overtake her in the blink of an eye.
Leaving Goku and Bulma to their own devices for a bit, Vahn, still hung up on Grayfia's comment about them being a couple, approached her with a smoldering smile, grasping her hands as he quietly asserted, "I hope you know I'm not going to let you take back that confirmation..."
"What gave you the impression I would want to...?" asked Grayfia, tilting her head slightly and raising her chin, allowing Vahn to kiss her deeply as the distance between their bodies reduced to zero. Bulma witnessed this from afar, but since there wasn't much she could do about it, she poutily focused on explaining what Dragon Balls were, producing one of her own before finally convincing him to show her to his Grandpa's.
Believing Vahn was seconds away from ravishing her, Grayfia attempted to create a barrier only to realize she couldn't, surprising her immensely as it was the most fundamental aspect of Magic taught to beginners and children as, generally speaking, most Magic, at least in the Human World, could only be used within a barrier.
Sensing what Grayfia had tried, Vahn disengaged her tongue, licked his lips with a smile, and explained, "The planets in this verse don't have any protections or failsafes in place to safeguard their inhabitants or prevent their destruction. That means we have to create static barriers, but it also means that, at your level, you could destroy this entire planet or blast the moon out of the sky with a ki blast..."
Recalling similar scenes from the anime, Grayfia nodded before quickly flinging five knives with red tassels into the ground around them, linking them with her Demonic Power to form a pentagram. Nothing changed at a glance, but to anyone outside the barrier, they were invisible and made no sound...

"Huh...I guess those two took off..." remarked Bulma, poutily puffing her cheeks as she and Goku emerged from his house, planning to invite Vahn and Grayfia to join them after agreeing to search for the remaining Dragon Balls together.
"I guess that Vahn guy didn't care about your dirty fanny either..." said Goku, standing with his arms raised and hands behind his head, causing Bulma to retort, for the second time, "I told you, you idiot! It's not dirty! Get that through your thick skull!"
