Chapter 9: Kami’s lookout
"What do you mean Goten went to the Kami lookout for a month?" Chichi said as she questioned Gohan.
"Well. Bulma san is having a child so Trunks probably would not be able to come here for a while." Gohan replied.
"Wait Bulma san is having a baby?" Chichi asked.
"Goten said it's a girl," Gohan replied to Chichi.
"That's great news. I have to ask her about how she is feeling." Chichi said.
"Gohan you are free after this right?" Chichi asked Gohan.
"Well, I am resting for a few hours before I start my revision at around 8," Gohan said to Chichi.
"Good. Then you can go to the capsule corp and give Bulma a congratulatory gift. Come back quickly." Chichi said to Gohan.
"But Mom what are you going to give her?" Gohan asked knowing that their family finances were not that good.
"I have a few good charms that Baba gave me as a souvenir a while ago. I could give one of those to her with a bento." Chichi said.
"But first tell me why you have to send Goten to that Piccolo," Chichi asked.
"Well I am always doing my schoolwork and you are also very busy so I just thought he could play with Piccolo and Dande. Despite his looks, Piccolo is a good babysitter." Gohan said to Chichi.
"He did train you when Goku san was killed. But Can't you just send him to another place? What about the Kame house?" Chichi asked.
"On second thought I think Kami's lookout would be a better place. That old pervert might try to ruin my little Goten's innocence." Chichi said to Gohan when she remembered that master roshi was still alive.
"Don't worry mom. I am sure Goten is going to have a good time." Gohan reassured Chichi.
-------------------------
At the Kami's lookout.
"I cannot believe I am looking after another one of Goku's sons," Piccolo said as he looked at Goten.
Kami Lookeout is an ancient platform that is in geostationary orbit in the skies of Earth.
It is the home to Dende the god of earth, Mr Popo who worked as an assistant to Dende and Piccolo.
"Do you want to drink something?" Mr Popo asked.
"No thanks," Goten replied.
"But how did you become a Super Saiyan? You don't look like you are older than five years old?" Piccolo asked Goten.
During the whole time, Goten was in his Ssj state.
-----------------------------
A few hours ago.
"Gohan can you tell Mom that I am going to spend a month with the Mr Piccolo that you speak of," Goten said to Gohan.
"Wait. What?" Gohan was shocked when he heard what Goten said.
"Why?" He asked.
"Well, I wanted to try staying in my Super Saiyan form for a while. To get used to the power." Goten said to Gohan.
"And mom would try to make a fuss If I stay in a super saiyan state while at home. So I thought I could go and stay at the place where the person who trained you lived." Goten explained his motive to Gohan.
Gohan imagined Goten staying in Super Saiyan form at home.
Just by imagining it, he can already hear her calling him and Goten delinquents.
Chichi was a good mother normally but she can be kind of annoying when she sees a super saiyan.
Since the blonde hair of a Super Saiyan is similar to the one associated with the delinquent culture.
"I see. Then go before Mom comes back. If she comes back she will not let you leave at all. I will try to make up an excuse for you." Gohan replied to Goten with a smile.
"You don't need to pack any clothes since Mr Piccolo can make you one out of thin air," Gohan said to Goten.
"But when you are staying at the Lookout remember to listen to Piccolo. And do not cause trouble to Mr Popo and Dende. Okay." Gohan said to Goten.
"Since Mom took flying nimbus I have to call Piccolo so that he could come and pick you up," Gohan said as he went to the kitchen and made a call.
"Picclo have a phone?" Goten was shocked.
It was not Piccolo who had a phone but there was a phone on Kami's lookout that Mr Popo and Dende used.
Kami Lookout is located in a place that is far above the clouds.
However despite that strangely it has a phone signal that allows the people who are on the lookout to make calls and use the internet.
No one uses it normally as the connection sucks but it still exists.
"Mr Popo? Ah. It's Gohan. Can you please call Mr Piccolo for me? Thanks." Gohan was talking on the phone.
-------------------------------
A few hours later on the Lookout.
"Is he that busy to look after his own brother?" Piccolo asked Goten as he showed him around the lookout.
He also introduced Dende and Mr Popo to him.
He stopped when they reached in front of a room.
"You are Gohan's brother so he should told you about how he became Super Saiyan for the first time. Right?" Piccolo asked Goten.
"So this is the hyperbolic time chamber," Goten said in awe.
On the lookout, there exists a room where the air pressure is tense, the gravity is heavy and time passes slowly compared to the real world which is ideal for training.
It is called the Hyperbolic Timechamber.
Although Goten was going to stay on the lookout he did not have plans to use the hyperbolic time chamber.
He doesn't know why but he feels like it would be cheating since he was training alongside Trunks under Vegeta.
He wanted to surpass Trunks but he did not want to take a shortcut.
Training in his spare time and training in the chamber are two different things.
He plans to use the chamber in the future but only when the situation is urgent.
"Goten. Do you want to go in? I can accompany you." Piccolo asked Goten.
"Your brother has already gone in before. Do you want to go in too? It might help you with your training if your little body could endure it." Piccolo said to Goten.
Goten shakes his head.
