Chapter 16: The Saiyan Siblinghood
Mount Paozu was located in the Northern Hemisphere somewhere in the mountains, surrounded by steep and precipitous mountains. Because of the remote location and often fierce beasts, Mount Paozu was sparsely populated, and traffic was very inconvenient.
After coming down from the Korin Tower, Ayaka went straight to Mount Paozu. Initially, she intended to use Instant Transmission to find Son Goku directly, but suddenly, Ayaka realized that she might have overlooked a crucial link.
"My Instant Transmission is different from what Son Goku learned later. My Instant Transmission does not require the use of ki to locate, so will it make me dependent on it, in the long run, thus reducing my sense of ki?"
Upon thinking of this, Ayaka stopped in the air. She couldn't help but had a cold sweat seeping out of her back.
"Good thing I realized early. Instant Transmission may seem convenient to use, but it may leave hidden dangers for me."
Ayaka decided that in the future, as long as it wasn't planet-to-planet travel, she would try not to use Instant Transmission. Instant Transmission could only be used as a secondary ability in battle, not a primary skill in combat.
...…..
Ayaka flew in the air for a while longer, roughly found the direction of Mount Paozu, and then landed.
The mountains here stood in a relaxed and quiet environment, with various strange pines and rocks strewn across the peaks, and the scenery was infinitely beautiful.
After some searching, Ayaka came next to a large pool of water and found a set of dark purple practice clothes placed on the rock on the opposite bank.
"These clothes are Son Goku's; it seems that he is in this neighborhood."
Ayaka leaped to the opposite rock. She took out a cloth in her hand, spread it on the ground, and then sat on the ground, waited for Son Goku to arrive.
"Demon, who are you?"
A crisp voice came from a naked child dragging a large fish tens of times larger than him in his hand. He was startled after seeing Ayaka and quickly leaped backward alertly.
'This is Son Goku. His mind is really simple, too cute! However, his strength is still feeble. His power level is only 30.'
Ayaka looked at Son Goku with a smile as she sized up Son Goku and said, "I'm not a demon, I'm human!"
Son Goku had never seen anyone other than his grandfather and even less knew what a woman looked like. Suddenly, when he saw Ayaka, who looked different from him, he took her for a demon.
Son Goku threw away the big fish in his hand and stared with a wary face, "Nonsense! If you're human, how come you don't look like me?"
"Hmffh!"
Ayaka lost her voice and laughed. She couldn't imagine that she was subjected to the same experience as Bulma. Son Goku was too innocent of distinguishing between a man and a woman.
"Well… You're a boy, and I'm a girl, of course, we look different!"
"Woman?" Son Goku listened to Ayaka's explanation. There was some confusion in his heart, and his gaze towards Ayaka remained unrelaxed.
"Yes, men and women are looking different. Didn't your grandfather tell you that?"
Son Goku suddenly realized. He remembered what his grandfather had told him, "Really, grandfather had mentioned it to me, so you are a woman!" Son Goku said and walked around Ayaka, but he found that Ayaka did not have a tail, "Why do you not have a tail? Moreover, your hair is also long!"
Ayaka felt a burst of speechless when Son Goku surrounded her. She couldn't help but laugh lightly after hearing his words, Then showed her tail to him "Not everyone has a tail like you but I do have one since we both are from the same race of Saiyan's. There were some men and women without tails out there."
Son Goku remembered that his grandfather didn't have a tail and believed Ayaka's words.
Ayaka picked up the clothes on the ground for Son Goku to put on. After rustling his clothes, Son Goku asked curiously, "My name is Son Goku. What is Saiyan Race is it something delicious? What is your name?"
Ayaka thought about it for a while and told him, "Ayaka! You can call me Ayaka. Of course…. you can also call me sister! Saiyan is a type of human but not from earth and they have a tail behind their back."
Ayaka thought it was very appropriate to let Son Goku call her sister.
'Well, I'm two years older than Son Goku, and we both have the Saiyan bloodline. I'll live with him from a young age and lay the foundation, so letting him call me sister is right.'
"Sister?" Son Goku cocked his head, remembering what his grandfather had said about calling a girl older than him a sister.
Dragging the big fish he had just caught, Son Goku and Ayaka walked down the road. Son Goku then asked, "So, sister, what are you doing here on Mount Paozu?"
"I'm here to find Son Gohan."
Ayaka couldn't say she was here to find him, so she moved to Son Gohan. Moreover, looking at Son Goku's simple appearance, she doubted whether he understood the meaning of "sister".
"You came to look for grandpa?" Son Goku's eyes were a little bleak, "….Grandpa died a year ago."
Ayaka remembered the story. When she saw that he was a bit depressed, she said comfortingly, "I'm sorry! I did not know that your grandfather has passed away. Your grandfather once helped me; since he is no longer here, then I will take care of you in the future!" She took this opportunity to climb up the pole and made an essential connection with the protagonist.
"Will sister live with me in the future?" Son Goku asked happily.
"Yes, from now on, I will take care of you. Let me tell you, my strength is powerful. I can help you train in the future!"
Upon hearing Ayaka say that she was powerful and could help him train, Son Goku frowned in disbelief and said, "My grandfather trained me since I was a child. How can you be stronger than me?"
"Well… because I'm a big sister! Of course, a big sister should be stronger than her brother!" Ayaka jokingly knocked Son Goku's head, causing Son Goku to shout with great dissatisfaction.
The two of them quickly became familiar with each other. Soon, they arrived at the residence located at the top of Mount Paozu.
Son Goku's home was made of a large, high quality, and durable material. It was a four-square hut made of bricks and tiles, and the four corners of the roof of the house were high up, making it a place full of Chinese atmosphere. The house was surrounded by bamboo and cedar trees, and the wind blew on the sound of "instigation".
There was a large piece of open space in front of the house, which should be where Son Goku practiced his martial arts, with firewood piled up on the side.
Son Goku dropped the fish in his hands, ran inside the room, bowing to the Dragon Ball placed in front of the incense niche.
Ayaka saw the incense niche placed on the mat in front of the Four-Star Dragon Ball, next to a red stick. This was the Four-Star Dragon Ball and Power Pole, and Son Goku still thought the Four-Star Dragon Ball was his grandfather!
Ayaka followed the salute to respect Son Gohan, the martial artist.
Son Goku jumped up and ran to the open space in front of the house. He then removed the scales and guts from the big fish he caught and started preparing to set up firewood, "I'm starving. Today I'm treating my sister a grilled fish."
Ayaka looked at Son Goku skillfully scaled and gutted the fish and set up firewood. Her face couldn't help but show a smile. With the Saiyan blood, The children seemed to be very good at survival skills. Not only her but Son Goku as well. This was probably the characteristics of the Warrior Race. Otherwise, how dare they send young babies to a strange alien planet?
When the firewood was set up, Son Goku ran back to the house to look for tools to start the fire. However, after Son Goku searched for a while, he could not find anything to start the fire, so Ayaka shouted to the house, "Goku, no need to look, I'll help you light the fire!"
Son Goku came out of the house, embarrassed. He scratched his head with his hand and said, "Sister, I forgot where I put the matches."
Ayaka shook her head helplessly. She turned her finger to the stacked firewood, and with a little use of ki, a light blue ki wave was released.
Poof!
The ki wave hit the firewood emitted a slight bursting sound, and the pile of firewood immediately burst into flames.
Son Goku looked on in surprise; his mouth opened wide. Son Goku had never seen such a magical move, so he couldn't help but be shocked.
"What an amazing move!" He jumped up and said, imitating Ayaka's action just now. He stretched out his fingers and pointed around hard, but he couldn't send out a ki wave as Ayaka did.
Ayaka knew that this was because Son Goku's body didn't have enough ki and couldn't send out ki waves yet. She then went up and said with a smile, "This is the use of ki. Your body's ki is very weak, so you can't make this move yet. First of all, you have to make your ki strong. If you want to learn, sister can teach you."
Son Goku was busy nodding. He now believed that the sister's strength in front of him was far above him, so he was delighted that Ayaka was willing to teach him to practice.
...….
"Oh, I'm so full! I can't eat anymore." Son Goku said with a satisfied look as he patted his bloated and bulging belly. A several-meter-long fish was almost all wiped out by him alone, while Ayaka only ate a small amount.
It was strange, Ayaka used to eat as much as Son Goku, but since she practiced the Energy Bound, she ate less and less. Now, she was just like a normal girl, and sometimes she didn't even have to eat.
"Am I going to be able to stop eating?" Ayaka was startled, "Immortality, if coupled with the incarnation, was it going to turn one into a God?"
Ayaka was shocked by her thoughts. Did she unknowingly have almost become a god?
Ayaka quickly came back to her senses. She was already much more powerful than Kami; it wasn't too exaggerated to say that she was a God!
...….
After dinner, the sky had darkened.
There was only one bed inside Son Goku's room. After all, Ayaka was a girl, and although Son Goku was still young, sleeping in the same bed with him felt a little strange. So she was ready to take out the capsule house she had purchased.
To not make sure that Son Goku didn't make a fuss about it, Ayaka also made a special effort to explain some general knowledge about the outside world. However, when she threw out the Capsule, Son Goku was still stunned with his mouth shouting demonic magic.
Finally, Ayaka dragged the reluctant Son Goku into her house, then put hot water on him and let Son Goku bathe himself in it.
"Sister!"
Son Goku ran into Ayaka's room naked, "I don't know how to use those things!"
Ayaka listened and thought about it, so she took Son Goku into the bathroom, rubbed body wash on him, and began to bathe him.
After washing Son Goku's clean, Ayaka took out a set of pajamas and had Son Goku put them on, then told him to go to a room and sleep.
Ayaka soaked in the bathtub with a burst of amusement in her heart, "What I'm doing now is what Bulma did later on!"
After washing away the sweat stains, Ayaka put on pajamas to lie comfortably in bed, mentally planning the road.
The night was hazy, surrounded by silence. Occasionally, there was the chirping of small insects. Suddenly, Ayaka remembered a plot in the original story when Son Goku ran into Bulma's room at night and stripped Bulma's underwear! At first, Bulma didn't know, but eventually, Master Roshi, that lecherous old man, saw everything.
Upon thinking about Son Goku's bad records, Ayaka rushed up to lock the door, "I almost forgot that episode. Son Goku was still young; he doesn't know that those things can't be done to girls. It seems that in addition to training Son Goku, I have to strengthen his education on the concept of life."
...….
The next day, at dawn, the crackling sound of fist-pumping came to her ears. It was early in the morning when Ayaka yawned because she was disturbed by the sound of punching. She then walked out of the room with sleepy eyes and saw Son Goku already exercising in the open space.
"You're so diligent. You're practicing so early in the morning!" Ayaka said to Son Goku as she straightened her hair.
"Sister!" Son Goku stopped his workout to call out when he saw Ayaka walkout.
Ayaka nodded with a faint smile and asked, "How did you sleep last night?"
"I slept great, but that bed is too soft. It's a little uncomfortable!" Son Goku rubbed the back of his head with his hand and said with a naive smile.
"I'll go prepare breakfast and call you later to eat!"
After saying that, she went into the kitchen. Son Goku saw Ayaka had gone back to prepare breakfast, so he continued to exercise. From time to time, he swung his fist and raised his foot. His rapid movements rubbed the air, causing a whirlwind with a sizzling sound.
After about half an hour or so, Ayaka finished preparing breakfast and called Son Goku over to eat.
She handed Son Goku a towel to wipe away the sweat on his body and then sat on the seat to eat breakfast. She prepared not much breakfast for her but a lot for Son Goku.
In front of Son Goku, there was a whole meter high, dozens of steam buns.
Watching Son Goku wolf down a cage of steam buns, choking and drinking a full glass of water from time to time, Ayaka's face couldn't help but hang a smile. She felt that this scene was so real that she and Son Goku were like a real family. She slowly carried the role of a parent. The Dragon Ball World always had some attachment in addition to the training.
...…..
After breakfast, Ayaka and Son Goku came to the open space on Mount Paozu. She wanted to see how Son Goku's foundation turned out.
Son Goku found a stake of more than a meter in diameter, gritted his teeth, and threw the stake violently up into the sky.
"HO!"
Son Goku stared at the stake that was thrown up into the sky. His body suddenly jumped upwards, and with a flash of his body, he had already flown next to the stake and instantly kicked out dozens of feet at it.
Thump, thump, thump!
The stake received a heavy blow from the center began to break apart. It shattered into dozens of pieces of varying sizes, and the pieces fell from the sky in a scattered pile.
Ayaka couldn't help but nod as she watched. Although Son Goku didn't know how to raise and use ki, his use of that little power had been quite impressive, with small leakage.
'As expected of the child raised by Son Gohan, the foundation is excellent. He just needs to be carefully trained, and he will become a remarkable person.'
Speaking of pointing out mistakes, Ayaka struggled with it. The only thing she could teach Son Goku was to improve his ki and skills in battle, and other things were not suitable for Son Goku. Ayaka learned that the Saiyan had a set of training, and if this set of training was given to Son Goku, it would only bury him.
Saiyan's improvement depended on two aspects. First was the bloodline. The pure bloodline Saiyan could do everything with half the effort, while the impure bloodline required more effort. Of course, it was not that the bloodline determines everything; it was just a relative indication of a priority.
The second one was their training. Saiyans were a Warrior Race and had an outstanding feature. Whenever they were on the verge of death, they could significantly increase their power level once they recovered. This was because the Saiyans had a more profound sense of the enemy's attacks when they were on the verge of death. The fighting bloodline prompted them to look for moves to crack, so a near-death situation was often worth a long time of hard work.
Of course, there were advantages and disadvantages to everything. Each near-death situation was the process of vitality. The normal recovery would require at least a few months or years. Frieza had an efficient life-saving device. The Earth also had Senzu Beans, both of which significantly shortened the Saiyan's healing time.
If they deliberately let themselves on the verge of death without the slightest attack from a strong enemy, it was unlikely that they could improve significantly.
Ayaka had already figured out that each of her enhancements could be said to be accompanied by severe injuries. When she was on the verge of death in battle and underwater training on Planet Pheroco, the two enhancements in power level were various. So, Ayaka concluded that to improve power level quickly, the most important thing was the actual battle and daily exercise.
Ayaka decided to improve Son Goku's ki and combat skills temporarily, and she would let Master Roshi take care of the rest. Although Master Roshi's strength was not high, he was very good at teaching his disciples.
"Goku, watch out!"
Ayaka threw a log high into the air and "swoosh" forward. She then completely disappeared in an instant. Son Goku's eyes turned around, trying to find Ayaka, but he couldn't find her.
At this time, there was a "crackling" sound in the sky. The wind was whistling, and there was a momentum between lightning and fire on top. The log was divided into more than a hundred neat and tidy wooden sticks.
These wooden sticks were smooth and neatly cut, just like a knife cut. The size was surprisingly not different in any way.
Thump, thump, thump!
One by one, the wooden sticks fell neatly together and piled up into a tall hill.
"Awesome!"
Son Goku watched Ayaka's performance and clapped his hands excitedly, "How did you manage to do that, sister? These woods were cut into the same size!"
"This was the use of ki. Goku, although you have reached a remarkable level of strength, you do not know how to use ki yet!" Ayaka said seriously, then she formally taught Son Goku, "Now the first thing you need to learn is to learn to sense ki and then constantly grow ki. After having enough ki, you will also be able to use it; only then you become strong!"
Son Goku listened carefully; his eyes revealed a strong desire to know.
Seeing Son Goku's expression, Ayaka nodded in satisfaction, "Close your eyes and don't think about anything, let yourself be at peace and sense your body with your heart. Then gather your attention up and feel the changes in your body carefully."
Son Goku quickly achieved mindfulness, trying hard to sense his body's ki. Perhaps because of his unique purity, Son Goku sensed the presence of ki faster than Ayaka did at first, making him couldn't help but shout with joy, "Really. There seems to be a hot thing inside my body!"
"Be serious, and do not talk much!" Ayaka reprimanded nonchalantly, putting a hand to Son Goku's chest to help him grasp the presence of ki more quickly.
Although Son Goku's physical qualifications weren't excellent, and he couldn't hold a vast amount of power at once, his comprehension was perfect and ideal for practicing the Earth's mastery of ki.
In just a few days, Son Goku had already mastered the ki in his body. Although this ki was still very weak and couldn't shoot ki wave, these few days had let Son Goku feel his body's changes. After each practice, he would feel his body warm, and from time to time, there was a flow of air inside his body.
He heard Ayaka said that as long as he had enough ki, she would teach him many techniques. So, every time he thought he could learn Ayaka's techniques, Son Goku would jump up and down with excitement.
...
As the days went by, it had been nearly a year since Ayaka had moved to Mount Paozu. This year, in addition to teaching Son Goku about the knowledge of ki, Ayaka taught him some simple cultural knowledge. So, at least he could be a better person than he was in the original story.
Besides, Ayaka also didn't slacken in her training. Although the growth of strength slowed down after coming to Earth, she was still on a steady rise.
