Looking at Goku's utterly clueless face, the girl finally snapped.
She slammed her sword into the ground and shouted in frustration, "You heartbreaker! If you beat me, I'll tell you!"
"Really?"
Goku's eyes lit up. He immediately shifted into a fighting stance, his expression finally turning serious.
Before Chi-Chi could react—
Goku vanished.
"So fast!"
A gust of wind struck Chi-Chi's face.
This time, Goku did not dodge.
He appeared directly in front of her.
Instead of punching, he extended his palm and gave her a gentle push, using the air pressure generated by his speed.
Whoosh—
A soft yet irresistible wave of Qi lifted Chi-Chi clean off her feet.
The force was perfectly controlled.
Decisive.
Harmless.
"Ah!"
Chi-Chi cried out as she floated out of bounds, landing lightly on the grass like a feather.
Not a single hair was harmed.
"Out of bounds! The winner is Goku!"
The announcer shouted hoarsely, as if witnessing the climax of a drama rather than a tournament match.
Goku stood at the edge of the ring, grinning and waving.
"Hehe, I won! Now you can tell me!"
Sitting on the grass, Chi-Chi looked up at him.
The disappointment of losing vanished instantly.
She stood up, brushed off her skirt, and smiled shyly.
"I am the Ox-King's daughter, Chi-Chi. Do you remember me now?" Her eyes were filled with hope.
"Chi-Chi?" Goku blinked, tilting his head.
He muttered the name to himself repeatedly.
His expression shifted from confusion… to thought… to realization.
Suddenly—
A long-forgotten memory surfaced.
That scorching afternoon at the foot of Flame Mountain.
The strange little girl in armor.
The flying Nimbus.
The awkward promise.
"Ah! I remember!" Goku smacked his fist into his palm.
"You're Uncle Ox-King's daughter! The really little Chi-Chi from back then! Wow, you've gotten so tall! I didn't even recognize you!"
Hearing him finally say her name, Chi-Chi's tense expression melted.
She retrieved her sword and slung it behind her back.
Her cheeks flushed red as she shyly twisted her fingers together.
"Finally… you remembered?" She looked at him tenderly.
"Then do you remember… the promise we made when we crossed the river?"
"Promise?" Goku froze again.
The entire arena held its breath.
What promise could this be?
"It was…" Chi-Chi's voice became barely audible. "You said… when we grew up… You would come marry me and make me your bride!!!"
Boom.
The arena exploded.
In the stands, Bulma crushed her drink in shock, splashing Yamcha beside her.
"Bride?! This kid actually had a marriage promise all along?!"
Yamcha's jaw nearly hit the floor, "Is this still the Goku I know who couldn't even tell boys from girls? I've completely lost! Why hasn't anyone waited for me for years?!"
Only Goku looked utterly confused.
He scratched his cheek and asked the most devastating question possible.
"Bride? What's that? Is it tasty?"
The referee stared at him like he was an alien.
Chi-Chi froze, "You… you don't know what a bride is? Then why did you promise me?!"
"I thought it was food!" Goku replied honestly.
"It sounded crunchy. I was really hungry back then! I figured if you were offering food, I'd just say yes!"
The entire arena collectively facepalmed.
Moments ago, they had condemned him.
Now they simply realized—
He was genuinely an idiot.
A lovable, infuriating idiot.
"Idiot! Big idiot!" Chi-Chi stomped her foot, face red as a tomato.
"A bride isn't food! It's someone who lives with you forever! Who cooks for you, washes your clothes, and shares your life! A lifelong partner!"
Goku paused.
Then his eyes lit up.
"Cook for me forever?"
"Yes! Every day! As much as you want! Grilled meat, dumplings—whatever you want!"
Chi-Chi shouted desperately.
Goku nearly drooled.
For someone like him, this was more tempting than any championship title.
"That actually sounds pretty good."
"So… will you?" Her eyes sparkled.
Without hesitation, Goku nodded cheerfully.
"Okay! Since I promised, let's get married!"
"R-Really?" Chi-Chi covered her mouth, stunned.
"Of course! I, Goku, keep my word!" He thumped his chest proudly.
Overcome with joy, Chi-Chi rushed forward and stood on her tiptoes.
Mwah.
She planted a quick kiss on Goku's cheek before running backstage, face burning red.
"I'll wait for you! Remember, you have to win! My… groom!"
Goku touched his cheek, bewildered.
Krillin walked over calmly.
"Krillin, why did she bite my face? Is that part of getting married too? It felt weird. Soft."
Krillin shook his head helplessly, though he couldn't hide a faint smile.
[Ding! Key plot point detected: Goku's marriage pact finalized.]
[Host did not interfere. Plot progression optimal.]
[System evaluation: In a world full of schemes, perhaps purity is the greatest strength. Congratulations, Host, for witnessing the purest love in the Dragon Ball world.]
"Yeah."
Krillin patted Goku's shoulder, then turned his gaze toward the opposite end of the tunnel.
His expression sharpened.
"Alright, stop spacing out. Your life event is settled. After Yajirobe's match… it's my turn."
At the far end of the corridor, a tall figure in a white cape slowly emerged.
Green skin.
Pointed ears.
A suffocating, abyss-like demonic aura.
Piccolo.
