A flash of light.
Loren's figure appeared in the World of the Kai.
"Done."
He casually tossed the two unconscious figures onto the grass, clapped his hands, and dusted them off.
"Lo—Loren!"
Krillin was the first to react, rushing forward in one stride, so excited he could barely speak.
"You… you're incredible! What about Majin Buu? Is he completely gone?!"
"Mm."
Loren nodded while rubbing his stomach, clearly hungry.
"I scattered his ashes."
"That's great!!"
Krillin jumped up in excitement, tears streaming down his face.
"We won! We really won!"
"Hmph."
A deeply complicated snort sounded from the side.
Vegeta stood silently with his arms crossed.
When the gap was so vast that even looking up became meaningless, anger and shouting only made one look like a clown.
From Super Saiyan Four to that utterly unreasonable Forced Spirit Bomb—
Every power Loren displayed turned the pride of the Saiyan Prince into a cruel joke.
Loren glanced at Vegeta and muttered lazily.
"Oh. Sulking?"
Then his gaze shifted to Old Kai.
"Hey, old man."
"Do you have anything to eat here?"
"Huh?"
Old Kai froze, completely unable to follow Loren's thought process.
"I'm starving after that fight," Loren said calmly.
"You don't expect me to go back to Earth on an empty stomach, do you?"
"..."
Old Kai and Supreme Kai exchanged helpless looks.
"Forget it."
Loren waved his hand dismissively.
"This backwater place was a mistake to begin with."
"I'm heading back. You two figure out how to wake them up."
"W-Wait!"
Supreme Kai hurriedly called out.
"Mr. Loren, how… how can we repay you for saving everyone?"
Loren paused and looked back at him as if he were an idiot.
"The best repayment is never dragging me into your nonsense again."
Whoosh—
His figure vanished.
West City — Capsule Corporation
The courtyard buzzed with activity.
"Move the table a little left!"
"Watch the roasted ox! Don't burn it — Loren hates burnt food!"
"All drinks ready, Mrs. Bulma!"
Bulma stood with her hands on her hips, commanding the scene like a queen.
A world-saving celebration deserved nothing less.
Guests arrived endlessly.
In a quiet corner, Videl sat alone, staring at the distant ruins, tears silently falling.
"Videl…"
Gohan approached, holding a glass of juice, clearly nervous.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing."
She wiped her tears quickly.
"I was just… thinking about everyone who died."
"My dad… and so many innocent people…"
Gohan's heart tightened.
"I'm sorry," he said softly.
"It was our fault. We weren't strong enough."
"No."
Videl shook her head.
"You all did your best. I saw it."
She just couldn't accept the loss.
"Videl, listen to me!"
Gohan looked straight into her eyes.
"We still have the Dragon Balls."
"Earth's Dragon Balls."
"In one year, Shenron can grant another wish."
"At that time, everyone killed by Majin Buu can be revived."
"Your dad too."
"R-Really?"
Hope flickered back into her eyes.
"Really. I promise."
At the main table, piled high with food—
Loren lounged in a specially made chair while Android 18 calmly fed him perfectly cut beef.
The noise, joy, and grief around him didn't matter.
There was only food.
And the woman feeding him.
"Loren!"
Chi-Chi approached, holding a plate of pastries.
"Thank you… truly. If not for you, Goku and Gohan—"
Loren glanced lazily at her, then at Goku devouring food nearby.
"No need."
Chi-Chi smiled and quietly left.
One Year Later
Dark clouds suddenly gathered over West City.
Bulma stood on Capsule Corporation's lawn.
"Come forth, Shenron!"
Golden light burst from the Dragon Balls.
The colossal Dragon God coiled through the sky.
"State your wish."
Bulma spoke clearly.
"Revive all good people killed by Majin Buu!"
"This wish is within my power."
Shenron's eyes glowed.
Warm light spread across the world.
The dead returned.
Inside a villa—
Mr. Satan suddenly opened his eyes inside an ice coffin.
"I… I'm alive?"
"Dad!!"
Videl rushed in, hugging him tightly while crying.
She told him everything.
About Majin Buu.
About Loren.
About the man living next to Capsule Corporation.
Mr. Satan finally understood reality.
Against normal people, he was a hero.
Against monsters like Cell or Majin Buu?
He was nothing.
Only one truth remained—
Clinging to the strongest thigh was the correct way to survive.
The next day.
An endless convoy of luxury cars arrived in front of Loren's villa.
At the very front—
Mr. Satan's global limited-edition stretch limousine.
He adjusted his tie nervously, heart pounding.
He looked at Videl.
"Daughter… later, you must speak well of your father."
