When Talot returned from Mount Paozu after meeting this timeline’s Kakarot, Chichi, and Yamcha who was taking care of Kakarot, only Bulma remained here.
Yajirobe had also already left and returned to Korin Tower.
Seeing Talot suddenly appear before her again, Bulma, who had been lost in her thoughts, abruptly stood up, nearly becoming overly proactive because of her excitement.
“Y-You… why did you come back again?” Bulma asked, a slight blush appearing on her cheeks.
Talot felt slightly awkward.
He really had overlooked the fact that he was not from this timeline, and that this place was not his home.
“My apologies. After all, in my timeline, you’re my wife, and this is also my home, so I naturally came back here,” Talot said frankly.
Since everything had already been explained so clearly, there was no need to hide anything anymore.
Because of Talot’s words, Bulma also became bolder.
“Earlier everyone was around, so I was too embarrassed to ask. But now that it’s just the two of us, can you tell me how the me from your timeline ended up together with you?” Bulma asked.
Hearing this, Talot was slightly stunned. Looking at her curious expression, he naturally smiled.
“That’s a long story. Back then I was only six years old. Because Planet Vegeta was destroyed by Frieza, Aunt Gine, Salari, and I took a spaceship to Earth to look for Kakarot… I remember the first time we met, you grabbed my hand and insisted that I play with you… After that, we gradually became familiar with each other… Oh right, we also have a son. His name is Talos. It’s just that his hair color is a little different from Trunks’s light purple hair. Like you, he has beautiful blue hair…”
(PS: Future Trunks here is set with light purple hair, while Bulma has pure blue hair, like in the DBS-era version.)
Listening to Talot’s story, Bulma became completely captivated.
Although many things were unexpected, even unbelievable to her, such as the fact that the version of herself from another timeline would actually be willing to share the same husband with someone else.
However, after hearing about Salari and the experiences of that world, she gradually came to understand.
After all, they had built an emotional foundation since childhood, and Talot was outstanding enough that, in a sense, she had practically thrown herself at him.
Not to mention the version of herself from that world, even the current her was inexplicably attracted to this man.
If not for her mature mentality and her self-awareness, she probably would not have been able to resist either.
Longing for a beautiful marriage, longing to meet the prince charming she desired.
Having already gone down the wrong path before, Bulma was no longer the little girl she once was.
“That’s really nice. If there were also a you in this timeline, I think… I would consider being together with you.” This bold side of Bulma was something Talot had never seen before.
It had to be said that such a mature Bulma was also very different from the Bulma of Talot’s timeline.
Even though the Bulma of that timeline had already borne Talot a child, she was still ten years younger after all.
Hearing Bulma’s inner confession, Talot instead became somewhat impulsive, especially seeing the deeply emotional look on her face.
In his eyes, Bulma was his wife. That was an unchangeable fact.
Even if they were from different timelines, and this Bulma’s past had no connection with him whatsoever, now that he had arrived here, the Bulma of this timeline also had not gotten together with Vegeta.
To say he had no thoughts about it at all was impossible.
At this moment, a sentence also surfaced in Talot’s mind: So what if they were from different timelines? He did not want to leave behind regrets.
He had already come to this timeline. If he simply acted like an outsider and ignored everything, then what was he supposed to be?
Taking two steps forward, Talot pulled the Bulma of this timeline into his arms.
“Since you said you wanted to be with me, then that means you’ve made your choice between me and Vegeta. Would you mind becoming my wife together with the you from my world?” Talot asked.
Bulma had already been startled by Talot’s sudden action and instinctively struggled a little. Now, after hearing his words, her mind went completely blank.
It was a very complicated question, but feeling what Talot was conveying to her, she truly was moved.
“Y-You misunderstood me. I only said I would consider…” Bulma’s heartbeat quickened.
Before she could finish speaking, Talot interrupted her.
“But your heartbeat can’t lie. Your eyes have already given me the answer.” Talot held Bulma by the shoulders and, looking at her flushed cheeks, directly leaned in.
If Bulma did not refuse, then that meant acceptance.
Although, as the Bulma from his own timeline had said, he was rather dense when it came to relationships, he still more or less understood Bulma’s temperament.
Completely stunned by this sudden bold move, Bulma never imagined she would be taken advantage of so easily.
Holding Bulma in his arms, Talot directly used the power of space to teleport away.
This house was the same as the home in his own timeline, only the decorations and interior furnishings were different.
Once dry wood was ignited, the flames would erupt uncontrollably.
……
A very long time passed.
Only after winning over the Bulma of this timeline did Talot begin to feel numb.
If the Bulma and Salari from his own timeline found out that he had been fooling around in this timeline, who knew what they would think?
Even though this Bulma had accepted him, would they accept her?
Looking at Bulma, who had a smile on her face and had already fallen asleep, Talot shook his head with a headache.
Actually, he himself was very tired as well. Time travel was already an enormous drain, and now his strength had not fully recovered yet. The power of space-time within his body had not been completely absorbed, and he needed rest even more so to digest it over the coming days.
Otherwise, he would not be able to perform long-term time travel, and there would be no way for him to return to his own timeline.
Lying down, Talot simply held Bulma in his arms and entered dreamland.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to fall asleep instantly. His mind wandered chaotically for a long time before he finally managed to sleep.
Perhaps because thoughts during the day become dreams at night, after falling asleep this time, Talot had an extremely long dream.
In the dream, he returned to his own timeline. The two Bulmas had quite a bit of friction between them, and in order to ease the situation, Talot was caught in the middle and had a very difficult time. In the end, he became forceful and only then managed to win both of them over together…
……
Night fell, a little past nine in the evening.
Talot woke amidst a rustling sound.
Opening his eyes groggily, he saw Bulma carefully getting up.
Seeing Talot awake, Bulma still had a blush on her face.
“Y-You’re awake.”
“Mm, is it already nighttime?” Talot sat up and rubbed his forehead slightly.
“It’s almost ten at night. Are you hungry? I’ll have the butler robot prepare some food,” Bulma said shyly.
So she had woken up because she was hungry and was planning to go eat something.
“Alright, I’ll go down with you.” Talot stood up, revealing his nearly perfect physique.
Bulma let out a startled cry and hurriedly covered her eyes with her hands.
Talot was too embarrassed to expose her—the gaps between her fingers were huge…
