Chapter 44: Chapter 44
Today was Bulma's birthday.
Aishi wore a sleek black dōgi, tied at the waist with a white sash.
Aside from a few casual outfits, his wardrobe consisted almost entirely of pure black or white martial arts uniforms.
He liked the contrast between those two colors.
Beside him, No. 18 and No. 21 had on casual wear—not the kind of alluring outfits that drew obvious attention.
And yet, their unique charm couldn't be hidden no matter what they wore.
The three of them left the apartment and headed toward the location Bulma had specified.
It was out on the ocean.
Bulma had spent a fortune chartering a massive luxury cruise ship, hiring world-class chefs to set up a floating gourmet street aboard.
Soon—
Aishi and the two women arrived on the ship.
He scanned the crowd.
Most familiar faces were present—
Krillin, Yamcha, Tenshinhan, Kame-sennin, Oolong, Vegeta, Majin Buu… even Broly and Paragus were there.
The two looked uncomfortable, quietly following behind Gohan—clearly brought here by Goku.
Although strangely, Goku himself was nowhere in sight.
But no one seemed to mind.
It's Goku—we all know he's always late.
Krillin and the others greeted them with a smile.
Vegeta stood leaning against a tree in the background, throwing a glance Aishi's way and smirking faintly.
Notably—
A tail swung lazily behind him.
Unlike the others, Vegeta didn't come forward. He remained leaning against a wall, quietly watching the crowd.
When Gohan spotted Aishi, he ran up, beaming. "Sensei! Sensei's wives! You're here!"
But just as he said it—
He saw three people nodding at once.
He blinked in confusion.
Why's No. 21 nodding too…?
Still, he didn't ask.
Krillin, ever the joker, nudged Aishi. "What, you married both of them?"
Yamcha added with a sleazy grin, "Heh, now that's half as cool as I used to be back in the day!"
Aishi chuckled but said nothing.
Neither confirming nor denying—that was the perfect answer.
Before long—
Bulma gave a heartfelt speech, and the birthday party officially began.
The ship was soon filled with a lively, festive atmosphere.
But then—
In the sky, a small spaceship appeared, slowly descending.
It came down gradually and landed smoothly on the cruise deck.
Everyone turned their attention to it.
"That's…"
"A Capsule Corporation ship?" Bulma blurted out.
She recognized the logo instantly—it was her own company, after all.
Poof!
A small hatch opened from the ship's side.
Everyone tensed, holding their breath.
Aishi's brows lifted. Who's this?
"Heave-ho—"
A slender figure jumped out of the ship.
It was a woman.
Her outfit was trendy and sporty—a snug, casual tracksuit that highlighted her vibrant energy and youthful vibe.
Golden blonde hair fell freely behind her, and a colorful cap atop her head added a hint of playful charm.
Everyone looked baffled.
Who is that?
But amidst the crowd—
Bulma suddenly smiled with surprise. "Onee-chan?!"
"Older sister?!"
The crowd gasped.
Bulma has a sister?! Since when?!
Aishi took another look at the energetic young woman—and finally remembered.
Tights.
Bulma's older sister.
A sci-fi novelist who traveled the universe seeking inspiration.
She was such a rare presence she barely appeared in the original series.
Never thought I'd run into her here…
Tights looked around, her eyes locking onto Bulma. "Been a while, Bulma."
"You haven't come home in years," Bulma pouted.
Tights scratched her cheek awkwardly, then grinned. "Aren't you gonna introduce me to your friends?"
Bulma nodded and introduced everyone one by one.
Tights greeted them all warmly. "Nice to meet you, everyone."
But Bulma frowned. "Onee-chan, did something happen? You never come back unless it's serious…"
Tights sighed.
"Yeah… something did happen."
Then—
She recounted to everyone the terrifying incident she'd encountered during one of her galactic research trips.
It turned out that while she was exploring some fringe planets along the edge of the North Galaxy, she ran into a horrifying battle.
An entire star system was annihilated.
"Hiiiisss…"
Some people audibly gasped.
Krillin's face turned grim. "The whole star system?!"
Bulma grew pale. "And then?!"
Tights continued. "I passed through the area in my ship, just in time to witness it. I didn't dare linger for a second—I ran."
"Later, Jaco and the Galactic Patrol investigated. They found only one survivor from the battle…"
"His name was—Reggar."
BOOM.
Aishi's expression shifted.
Reggar?
The others were confused.
But Vegeta's brows furrowed.
Something about that name… felt deeply connected to him.
Noticing the change in Aishi's face, No. 21 leaned closer and whispered, "Aishi… do you know him?"
Aishi didn't answer immediately.
He merely nodded.
His thoughts turned to that time he had attempted to use Time Stop—
And it failed.
Back then, he suspected it might've been Merus, the Galactic Patrol trainee angel.
But that was impossible.
Merus's power was angel-tier—far beyond his own reach.
Even for a few seconds, there's no way I could freeze him in time.
So…
Could the one he failed to stop back then have actually been Reggar?
Aishi didn't know much about him.
Only that he was Vegeta's older brother, born with a battle power of 50,000.
Even more insane than Broly's legendary Super Saiyan genes.
But what puzzled Aishi was—why was Reggar even showing up now?
Wasn't this the Super Universe?
How could someone from the GT timeline show up?
This is making less and less sense…
Aishi looked at Tights. "If you escaped, it's probably because he let you. Otherwise, you wouldn't have made it out alive."
"What?" Tights blinked.
Vegeta's instincts screamed at him.
He stepped forward, scowling. "Aishi… who the hell is this guy?"
Aishi didn't hide it.
"Saiyan—Reggar. Your older brother. Born with a power level of 50,000. King Vegeta feared he wouldn't be able to control him… so he tried to have him killed."
"But before that could happen, Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta. Reggar escaped in the chaos, flying off to the edge of the universe in a pod."
"Similar to Broly… but his fate was arguably worse."
The group was stunned.
Even Paragus was wide-eyed. "50,000… at birth?!"
"Aishi, you're not kidding?"
The Legendary Super Saiyan Broly, born once in a thousand years—
Only had 10,000.
