Loren lay beneath the sun umbrella in the yard, leisurely enjoying a purple grape that Android 18 had just peeled for him.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, scattering warm, dappled shadows across the grass.
Android 18 wiped her slender fingers with a tissue, her clear blue eyes glancing toward the villa's front gate as she spoke calmly.
"It seems the world champion's entrance is even more extravagant than expected."
Loren chewed the grape and replied lazily,
"Well, he is the world champion. He has to keep up appearances."
Outside the Gate
Mr. Satan stood stiffly in front of his gleaming, gold-plated stretch limousine, tugging hard at his tie as his throat went dry.
Behind him, an entire motorcade stretched down the street like a steel dragon, nearly blocking traffic.
This was the fullest sincerity he could muster.
"Dad…"
Videl stood beside him, her voice betraying a trace of nervousness.
"Are we… really doing this?"
"Of course!"
Mr. Satan puffed out his chest, forcing confidence into his voice.
"Listen carefully, daughter! For a hero who saved the world, no level of ceremony is excessive!"
His voice was loud—less to reassure Videl and more to convince himself.
Taking a deep breath, he personally pressed the doorbell.
Ding—dong.
The gate slid open silently.
Mr. Satan's gaze traveled across the lawn and locked onto the man lying calmly on a lounge chair.
Loren.
He looked… ordinary.
Casual clothes. Eyes closed. Completely relaxed.
And yet—
Mr. Satan's legs instantly went weak.
In his mind flashed Videl's description:
A single punch piercing Majin Buu.
An energy sphere brighter than the sun.
Cold sweat poured down his back.
Every excuse he had prepared evaporated.
His mind went completely blank.
The Legendary Sliding Kneel
Under Videl's shocked gaze—
Mr. Satan suddenly bent his knees.
Then, in one flawless motion, he slid from the villa entrance straight across the lawn, stopping directly in front of Loren's chair.
Two long skid marks were carved into the grass.
"LORD LOREN!!!"
Mr. Satan slammed his forehead to the ground, crying out with the loudest, most heartfelt voice of his entire life.
"Please accept my—no—please accept humanity's highest respect!"
"You are the savior of the world! The guardian of the universe!"
"You are the idol I, Mr. Satan, shall follow for the rest of my life!!!"
Android 18 watched the scene silently, the corner of her mouth twitching.
Loren opened his eyes.
He looked down at Mr. Satan—tears, snot, and pride mixed together as the man practically clung to his leg.
It was… impressive.
"Alright," Loren said calmly.
"Get up. You're ruining my lawn."
"Yes! Yes!!"
Mr. Satan scrambled up instantly, still bent at a ninety-degree angle, not daring to meet Loren's eyes.
"Lord Loren! I… I brought some small gifts! A humble token of gratitude! Please accept them!"
He waved sharply.
Black-suited bodyguards poured out of the motorcade, placing heavy boxes neatly on the lawn.
Click.
The lids opened.
Gold bars. Diamonds. Cash.
The light nearly blinded everyone present.
Loren glanced at them.
To him, these were no more valuable than roadside pebbles.
However—
His gaze shifted to Videl, standing nearby with a face so red she looked ready to dig into the ground.
She was Gohan's future wife.
And Gohan was his disciple.
That made her family.
"I'll accept them," Loren said flatly.
"W-Wah—!"
Mr. Satan nearly cried from joy.
Accepted!
This meant goodwill!
This meant survival!
"Thank you, Lord Loren! Thank you!"
"Your generosity is boundless! Your heart vaster than the sea, higher than the sky!"
"I—"
"You're noisy," Loren interrupted.
Mr. Satan froze instantly.
Loren's gaze passed over him and landed on Videl.
"Videl, I hear you and Gohan are together now?"
"Yes… yes, Mr. Loren."
Videl nodded nervously, clutching her clothes.
"That kid Gohan has decent taste."
Videl's face exploded red.
Before she could recover—
"So," Loren continued casually, "when are you two getting married?"
"E-Eh?!"
Videl's brain crashed.
Marriage?!
This was way too fast!
Meanwhile—
Mr. Satan's ears shot up.
His eyes widened like lanterns, blazing with excitement.
Marriage?!
Lord Loren personally asking?!
He lunged next to Videl, voice shaking with joy.
"Now! Immediately!"
"Lord Loren, don't worry! I'll hire the best wedding planners in the world!"
"A century-defining wedding! I guarantee your satisfaction!"
He looked at Loren with such devotion it was unclear whose wedding it was.
"Dad!!"
Videl nearly fainted, desperately tugging his sleeve.
Loren waved his hand.
"Alright, that's enough."
"Go prepare."
"Yes! Yes!! We'll leave at once!"
Mr. Satan grabbed the still-stunned Videl and fled the villa like he'd received a divine decree.
Back in the Yard
Peace returned.
Android 18 picked up a cherry and placed it gently into Loren's mouth, smiling faintly.
"You seem quite invested in Gohan's marriage."
"He's my disciple," Loren replied, chewing lazily.
"As a teacher, I have to care a little."
"Otherwise, if we leave it to Goku…"
He leaned back comfortably.
"He probably wouldn't remember until his grandchild is born."
