Chapter 98: Reward
'I could stay here forever...' thought Vahn, experiencing genuine awe as his eyes reflected the seemingly endless expanse of blue that was the sea. What was reflected in them, however, was the bodies of Grayfia and, periodically, Bulma, the former sporting a scant silver bikini and the latter modeling a comparably modest pink bikini with white leather straps and frills. As for him, he was seated on the beach, relaxing in a pair of stylish black swim trunks as Goku erected a large mound of sand nearby.
Though he cherished the life he was gradually building for himself back in the real world, Vahn couldn't help feeling that, rather than the freedom he sought at the start of his journey, he was constantly being bound by more and more duties and expectations. In the virtual world, he had all the time in the world and was free to go wherever and do whatever he pleased. He could grow at his own pace without having to concern himself with things like politics or the survival of species, and if he felt inclined, he could build a house right there on the beach, spending weeks, months, or even years doing nothing but lounging about, learning carpentry, and having sex with Grayfia whenever he pleased...
'I should just bring everyone here...' thought Vahn, feeling that he, Rias, Sona, and everyone could live far more meaningful lives in the Corridor and virtual world than the outside. They would have to leave, eventually, but with the stacking time compression, they could easily stretch a year or two in the outside world into hundreds of fulfilling, stress-free years of personal and emotional growth in-virtua.
Having convinced himself, Vahn's eyes softened, his smile becoming more prominent as he pictured Grayfia and Bulma scissoring each other with his cock sandwiched between them, a fantasy he fully planned to make into a reality that evening. It was a little selfish of him, but before he returned to the real world and convinced everyone to stay, he intended to stretch and make the most of his time with Grayfia. Their sexual compatibility was just absurd, so while Rias was undoubtedly his first love, Vahn wasn't in a rush to reunite with her as she was infinitely more willful than the silver-haired Maid. The moment she entered the virtual world with him, he wouldn't be able to resist doing whatever she wanted, so until then, he intended to do what he wanted...and what that was, more than anything else he had ever desired, was to make Grayfia madly in love with him...
As if she could sense his thoughts, Grayfia turned and stared at Vahn with her usual narrow-eyed smile, a simple but sensual look that caused a faint trembling to permeate his chest. At that exact moment, without needing a signal or an exchange of words, they both activated the mental command to return to the Creation Hub. This immediately ceased the flow of time in the simulated universe of Dragon Ball, so even though it took eleven days for them to return, Bulma and Goku didn't notice they had left, and Turtle still hadn't arrived with Master Roshi to reward them for helping him back to the sea...

"Goodness, gracious, I think I've died and gone to Heaven..." expressed an exceptionally old man with a bald head, a thick white fu manchu, and a full beard, his thin and weathered body clothed in a bright orange aloha shirt decorated with a pattern of random letters, a pair of off-white khaki shorts, and straw sandals with red straps. More conspicuously, he had a club-like walking stick, a large purple turtle shell on his back, a Dragon Ball dangling from his neck, and red-rimmed sunglasses veiling his eyes from view, permitting him to leer at the bikini-clad Bulma and especially Grayfia without it being obvious at a glance.
