Chapter 118: Arrangement (Unedited)
In his past life, Xiaya had often felt it to be regretful whenever he saw Launch’s fate at the end in the original work. He always felt as if an important character was neglected.
This was probably because the first impression is the strongest. After all, Launch was an important character in the early stages of the original work, and like Yamcha was a main supporting character in promoting the progress of the story.
Of course, her part in the story was not so important as Krillin and Yamcha, especially after dragon ball had developed to King Piccolo’s plotline, and the children’s funny cartoons that were portrayed in the beginning had changed to youthful, hot-blooded and unrestrained. Then even the characters such as Yamcha had vanished from the world, and were gone from the forefront of the supporting character’s group, not to mention Launch, such character which had made the plotline exciting.
Anyway, since he had come across her, Xiaya certainly would not allow Launch to work in a courier company as she did in the original work. That would really be a waste of talent. Whether it was because of his childhood’s obsession, or he cannot tolerate this ordinary little girl to continue to wander about, he feels that he should reach out and help.
Thinking of this, Xiaya made a decision in his heart. He squatted down and said in a gentle tone: “Launch, it’s not safe for you, a little girl, to wander around outside, how about you follow me!”
He really needs a gentle, good-mannered, pure and hard-working girl by his side who can help him take care of the housework. He had hoped that among Saiyans Xiling or Myers could do it, but Xiaya feels that it is impossible, and Launch now could be a suitable candidate.
“Sir, are you willing to offer me shelter?” Launch’s eyes were red as her pitiable face looked at him.
Xiaya smiled. He didn’t expect that Launch was such a sniveling little girl in her childhood. It’s no wonder that she later grew up to be a gentle girl, but isn’t she worried that I am a human trafficker and would sell her off? Then, Blonde Launch’s existence is also reasonable. As, in a sense, it is also another kind of protection of her personality!
“Yes, if you like, you can follow me from now on.” Xiaya nodded in affirmation and then patted Launch’s head with a smile, letting her gradually calm down.
Launch’s bright eyes looked towards Xiaya, and calmly nodded. “That’s good, wait a minute, we’ll do some preparations, and then I’ll take you to a place.” Xiaya smiled, then brought Launch to the clothing store next door, preparing to buy her a few sets of clothes.
Although Mercenary Tao had wrecked this place yesterday, there were still many merchandises left in it. Looking at the dazzling and beautiful array of costumes, Launch’s eyes shone.
He picked up a red ribbon and tied it to Launch’s hair, tying it into a knot. Then, Xiaya took two steps back and carefully looked at her. Hey, indeed, this is how Launch should look like ah!
“Xiaya, there is no need to buy so much. I wouldn’t be able to wear them all.” Seeing Xiaya stuffing various kinds of clothes from the clothing store into a bag, till the entire clothing store was emptied. Launch was bewildered as she stood there, shouting.
Although she was quite young, she understands that this is a lot of money being spent.
“That’s all right. It’s called preparations, just in case. Buy some more, you can wear it when you grow up!”
Xiaya still continued to clean-out clothes of different ages and colors, packing into the bag. To the side, an attendant was holding the account book while dripping with sweat. Considering that these clothes were purchased for Launch, Xiaya did not open the dimensional s.p.a.ce, but instead filled them into several Hoi-Poi Capsules which he got from Bulma’s house.
This Hoi-Poi Capsule is really convenient. No matter if it is a box or a building, as long as it is a physical thing, it can be put into Hoi-Poi Capsule. They are portable and also does not take up s.p.a.ce. Really a necessary equipment for home and traveling!
It would be very much convenient if it could be popularized on Planet Hongshan. Anyway, since right now Feidaya scientists were interacting with Dr. Brief, maybe soon they could be popularized at large scale.
Walking out of the clothing store, Xiaya patted her head and suddenly remembered Xiling and Myers. He couldn’t favor one and be prejudiced against others, so he again purchased some products for Xiling and Myers.
Hundreds of Hoi-Poi Capsules filled with nearly a hundred sets of clothes were handed over to Launch. Launch holds them tightly in her palms, and then carefully puts them into a bag before looking towards Xiaya, her eyes filled with emotion.
“Xiaya, you are so nice to me…”
Launch’s voice was choked with emotions, she had been wandering after leaving the village for so long. Until now, no one had been so good to her.
Xiaya smiled indifferently. Blue-haired Launch was a good girl with a pure heart. So, he would naturally be good to her. “Let’s go then, next i’ll take you to a place!”
Then, with a burst of screaming sound, Xiaya carried Launch in his arms and soared to the sky and then flew towards the direction of Korin Tower. Since Launch’s body was frail and weak, Xiaya naturally could not bring her to Planet Hongshan and he would also not feel relieved letting her live alone outside, so he would just let her stay at Korin Tower first.
And, more importantly, placing Launch in Korin’s place might also help him learn the way he grows Senzu Beans. This is also something Xiaya had taken into account.
Flying for a long time, he saw the distant Korin Tower that was connected to heaven and earth, appear in his line of sight.
“Wow, what building is that? It’s so tall!”
Launch exclaimed. After adapting for a while, Launch had gradually begun to acclimatize from her initial uneasiness. She looked at the lakes and forests that quickly swept past below with a surprised face, but when she saw Korin Tower, she couldn’t help but shout loudly.
Xiaya explained with a smile: “It is Martial Arts Sacred Land, Korin Tower. At the top of the tower lives Immortal Korin and it is the birthplace of Earth’s Martial Arts!”
Not quite understanding, Launch nodded, but in fact, she did not have even a little bit of idea regarding martial arts. Maybe she would know a little if she switches to Blonde Launch.
At this time, a hair swayed past her nose and Launch sneezed, her blue hair immediately turning to gold, while her eyes became fierce.
“Her hair had turned blond!” Noticing the change in Launch, the corners of Xiaya’s mouth slightly curled up. The double personality from body transformation, he had only seen on TV before, and when he saw it in real, he was feeling somewhat strange.
“Waah, who are you, and why are you carrying me in your arms? Still not letting go of me!” The Blonde Launch in his arms continuously struggled. This princess carry was making her feel weird.
“Do you really want me to let go, you will not regret it?”
Xiaya’s inquiring voice just sounded and Blonde Launch subconsciously felt something wrong. Not even waiting for her to respond, she felt him let go of his hands. “Waaaah…” Shouting in alarm, the Blonde Launch fell in a perfect parabola, the scene of mountains and forests continuously pa.s.sed by her eyes, a terrified feeling gushed out in her heart, and her complexion became deathly pale.
“How was it? I had said that if I let you go, you’ll regret it!” Xiaya’s voice sounded beside her ear, and when she was about to crash into a huge tree underneath, the Blond Launch felt that her body was once again held in someone’s arms.
“Who the h.e.l.l are you? where are you going to take me?” Blonde Launch’s voice was somewhat trembling, her tone was not as arrogant as it was just now.
“Don’t you want me to let you go?”
“Who wants you to let go!”
Boo hoo, Blonde Launch shouted, and her hands tightened even more. If she fell down from such a high place, she will surely die horribly. Blonde Launch couldn’t help grumble. Who is this person? He must be a human trafficker!
“Hahaha! Hold tight!” Xiaya laughed. As he approached Korin Tower, the flight path became a ninety degree ascend and he flew upward, parallel to Korin Tower.
“Ah ah!!”
A tragic cry appeared, facing the chilly cold wind, the Blond Launch was scared out of her wits. Dealing with the violent-tempered Blonde Launch, only a more violent method could be used.
Huo! ! Xiaya quickly appeared on the Korin Tower while carrying Launch in his arms. Korin speechlessly looked on while leaning on his cane. He saw that Blonde Launch was in panic and was almost vomiting as she laid down on the floor. Her legs weakened and she collapsed on the ground, and then begin to cry loudly.
“Xiaya, what are you doing? This little girl has been frightened into crying by you.” Korin speechlessly said.
Xiaya laughed and said, “I plan to have Launch stay with you here for a while. Aren’t you lacking people who can tend to Senzu Beans? Blue haired Launch is gentle and good-mannered, she could certainly tend properly to Senzu Beans. As for Blonde Launch, you can train her for me!”
“I think you’re having me do free labor. Forget it! Anyway, even if you can learn the method of growing Senzu Beans, without Ultra Divine Water, you wouldn’t be able to grow Senzu Beans.”
Korin indifferently said.
“Of course, I won’t have you help me for free!” Xiaya pulled out a box of Hoi-Poi Capsules and said: “ All of these have the food you like to eat. It’s your remuneration!”
“So you had it planned long ago!” Korin licked his palm and quickly received the Hoi-Poi Capsules in his arms. “But seeing that we are old friends, I can agree to this simple request of yours.”
It’s quite boring to live alone at Korin Tower. It wouldn’t matter even if I have to train this little girl. Korin had paid attention to Xiaya’s whereabouts when he went to the human world and understood this little girl’s character.
