Just then Roshi stepped out, eyes bulging at Launch.
"Wow! She's beautiful!"
He turned to Goku and Krillin.
"You two pass the test!"
Chi-Chi squealed and ran to Goku.
"Congrats, Goku!"
Goku smiled awkwardly.
Chi-Chi glanced at Roshi's drooling face and instantly got it.
A dissatisfied pout tucked into her cheeks.
She whispered to Goku,
"So that's why I wasn't included in the test.
That test was this.
Master Muten's a dirty old pervert.
Goku, don't learn bad things from him!"
Goku said calmly, "Chi-Chi, don't bad-mouth Master.
He's pervy, but he's a good person."
"…Okay."
While they whispered, Roshi greeted Launch:
"Welcome, welcome. I'm Master Muten."
Launch bowed politely. "Nice to meet you, Master.
Your disciples saved me in a crisis, and you've even taken me in.
Thank you so much!"
Roshi's eyes gleamed.
"They saved you?"
"Yes! Their kung fu is great—surely because you taught them well!"
Roshi laughed. "Heh heh heh, you're flattering me.
I haven't taught them anything yet!
But training starts now. Want to learn martial arts too?"
Launch blinked. "Martial arts?
But I'm a girl. I probably can't learn much…"
Roshi waved it off.
"No, no. You don't need to train as hard as they do.
Just learn enough.
Proper martial arts will strengthen your body and mind. Great for health."
Krillin jumped in eagerly.
"Master Muten is world-famous—number one in the martial arts world.
He rarely takes disciples.
You're so lucky he invited you."
Launch was amazed.
"Wow, he's that strong? Then I want to learn!"
Roshi laughed happily.
"Good! Then let's begin.
First, I'll pass out our Turtle School uniforms!"
He dug out several sets of women's underwear and demanded everyone wear them—so Launch would change into one too.
Seeing Krillin and Roshi put on ladies' underwear first, Chi-Chi's face darkened.
"What the heck?!
That's underwear, not a uniform!
Master's a pervy old man. I'm not respecting him anymore!
I'm not wearing that!"
Goku, of course, stalled too.
For an adult mind, wearing women's underwear was pure humiliation.
When it was Launch's turn to change, she started to undress right there.
Krillin yelped, "Whoa! You're changing out here?"
Launch snapped back to reality. "Oh right! I'll go inside."
Roshi glared at Krillin. "You talk too much. Want to go back to your hometown?!"
Krillin shrank. "Sorry!"
Launch had only taken two steps toward the house when a fly buzzed straight at her face.
Goku jolted—he could tell she was about to transform.
He grabbed Chi-Chi and pulled her back.
Chi-Chi's face went bright red the moment he held her hand.
"Goku, why are you pulling me?"
"Come with me. I'm not hurting you."
She covered one cheek, trying to hide the blush.
"Okay… I'll do anything you want."
"Let's hide. We'll come out later."
Chi-Chi's face got even redder.
"Okay."
The moment they ducked into a corner, Launch's nose tickled.
She shouted, "Ah—everyone, get back!"
"Achoo!"
With that sneeze, Launch changed.
From a gentle, pure, hardworking girl—
to a wild, violent, money-loving blonde.
She looked around sharply, face fierce.
"Where am I?
This doesn't look like prison."
She saw Roshi and Krillin in lingerie, staring like idiots.
Her brow twitched. Two grown men in women's underwear?
Creepy freaks.
A machine gun materialized in her hands.
She opened fire.
"You perverts! Wearing ladies' underwear—who the hell are you?!"
Roshi and Krillin bounced around like rabbits to dodge the bullets.
Luckily she sneezed again after a few bursts and turned back to her quiet self.
Now she stared at the smoking gun, startled.
"…Huh?
Did I mess up?"
She scratched her head, embarrassed.
"Sorry. When I sneeze, I change personalities and lose control.
Maybe I shouldn't learn martial arts. I'll cook for you instead?"
Roshi exhaled hard. "Fine!"
Chi-Chi was stunned.
"Launch turns when she sneezes?"
Goku nodded. "Yeah.
She's not normal. When she's blonde she's aggressive—stay away from her."
Chi-Chi smiled. "Got it!
Goku, thanks for pulling me away earlier.
I knew you'd protect me best."
Finally, Roshi got serious.
"First task: moving house."
Krillin blinked. "Moving?"
Roshi explained, "This island is too small. Training won't be easy here.
We'll move to a bigger island."
Goku remembered the original training—milk delivery, farming, construction.
Yeah, it wasn't on this tiny island.
So with everyone working together, they packed the house into a capsule in a single day, boarded a speedboat, and headed to a larger island.
