The wind above the Lookout seemed louder than usual.
Yet hidden within it was a comforting warmth.
At the moment, the plaza of the Lookout felt less like Earth's highest holy sanctuary and more like a lively playground filled with laughter.
"Dende! Stop running! Take this, the Trillin Flying Kick!"
A black-haired boy with a sturdy build like a young bull charged through the air, shouting at the top of his lungs.
Without using any ki at all, he relied purely on explosive leg strength, kicking off the air itself and leaving rings of white sonic clouds behind him.
It was Trillin, the eldest son of Krillin and Bulma.
"Waaah! That's cheating, Trillin!"
"I can't even sense your movements if you're not using ki!"
The newly appointed Guardian, Dende, looked nothing like a god at the moment.
Clutching a staff longer than he was tall, he darted frantically through the clouds in an attempt to escape.
As a Dragon Clan Namekian, he excelled in healing and magic.
But in a pure physical game of chase, facing Trillin, who had inherited Krillin's Saitama-like physique, was like a rabbit trying to outrun a Tyrannosaurus.
"Alright, Trillin. Stop picking on Dende."
A gentle voice sounded.
Gohan, dressed in the same purple training gi as Piccolo, landed lightly in front of Dende.
He extended a hand.
The movement looked slow.
Yet he perfectly intercepted Trillin's kick, one powerful enough to shatter boulders.
Boom!
A gust of air exploded outward.
Even Mr. Popo, standing nearby, widened his eyes.
"Hehe, Gohan! Your reactions got even faster!"
Using the rebound force, Trillin flipped backward and landed neatly before sticking out his tongue.
Three children.
Three completely different styles.
Trillin embodied the ultimate beauty of raw physical power.
Gohan represented the perfect fusion of ki and technique.
Dende embodied healing, wisdom, and magic.
The three sat together, chatting excitedly about their game.
Their innocent smiles seemed capable of healing every wound in the world.
Behind one of the Lookout's stone pillars, Piccolo stood with his arms crossed.
A faint smile tugged at the corner of his usually stern face.
After merging with Kami, his state of mind had become far more balanced.
Watching the three children, he experienced something he had not felt in a very long time.
Peace.
"This is why we fight, isn't it?"
Krillin appeared beside him without warning, holding two ice-cold cans of cola.
He tossed one to Piccolo.
Ever since returning from Namek, Krillin had been stuffing every imaginable convenience into his storage ring.
Snacks.
Drinks.
Daily necessities.
Practically everything.
"Hmph. What a sentimental thing to say."
Piccolo accepted the cola but didn't open it.
Instead, he simply held it, enjoying the coolness in his hand.
"Still... the potential of those kids is frightening."
"That kick Trillin used earlier wasn't reinforced with ki at all. Pure physical strength alone already surpasses Vegeta's from years ago."
"Of course it does."
Krillin proudly rubbed his bald head.
"Take a look at who his father is."
As night fell, West City glowed beneath the stars.
Inside Capsule Corporation, three elegant women stood before a massive window, watching the children continue playing in the garden below.
"It's nice..."
Bulma gently swirled the wine in her glass.
Her gaze softened.
"Watching Trillin play with friends makes me realize how quiet this house still feels."
"Quiet?"
Launch, currently in her blue-haired personality, looked up from the sofa.
Though gentle by nature, her longing to be part of a larger family was written all over her face.
"I think... if it were Mr. Krillin's child..."
"They'd definitely be adorable."
"If it's a boy, I hope he'll be as strong as Mr. Krillin."
"And if it's a girl..."
"If it's a girl, I hope she'll look like me."
Aki, the Sacred Maiden of the World Tree, emerged from the bathroom.
Wrapped in a white bath towel, her damp purple hair draped across her shoulders.
The life-filled aura unique to the Namekian World Tree made her seem like a spirit who had stepped out of an ancient forest.
She walked over to Krillin.
Her emerald eyes shimmered with determination.
"Lord Krillin."
"The legacy of the World Tree must continue."
Her voice was soft but unwavering.
"As the Sacred Maiden, I can perfectly control the life essence within my body."
"In other words..."
"If I wish it, I can guarantee conception."
"Pffft!"
Krillin instantly sprayed out the water he had just taken a sip of.
"That... that's really direct."
"Then I want in too!"
Bulma slammed down her wine glass and grabbed Krillin by the collar.
Every bit the queen she was.
"My genes are way too good to lose to an alien!"
"Tonight, you're working overtime."
"That's an order."
"Um... I would like that too..."
Launch blushed deeply and quietly set down her machine gun.
Then...
"Achoo!"
Blonde Launch had arrived.
"Enough talking, Baldy!"
The blonde Launch slapped a revolver onto the table and planted one foot on the coffee table.
Her eyes blazed with wild confidence.
"If you can't satisfy me tonight, I'll turn that shiny head into Swiss cheese!"
Looking at the three women surrounding him, Krillin swallowed hard.
[Ding! S-Rank Family Quest Triggered: Prosperity of the Family]
[Quest Description: A powerful bloodline deserves to flourish. Faced with the reasonable (and highly enthusiastic) wishes of your wives, the host must demonstrate the dignity of a Martial God.]
[Quest Objective: Make all three wives happy and successfully pass on your legacy.]
[Quest Rewards:]
[Skill: Infinite Stamina (Divine Passive)]
[Special Trait: Many Children, Great Fortune (All descendants receive enhanced potential)]
Krillin grinned.
"System..."
"Now that's a quest I can get behind."
He stood up.
The Martial God Core within him pulsed softly as a warm golden current flowed through his entire body.
"Since my wives are all in such high spirits..."
"I would be rude to refuse."
Krillin snapped his fingers.
"Instant Transmission."
The next moment, all four vanished.
They reappeared inside a luxurious bedroom that Bulma had specially redesigned with perfect soundproofing and every comfort imaginable.
It was destined to be a memorable night.
Bulma's passion burned like fire.
As the embodiment of genius and innovation, she always found creative ways to surprise him.
Launch brought an entirely different experience.
The bold confidence of her blonde side and the gentle shyness of her blue-haired side intertwined in fascinating contrast.
And Aki...
She was the true MVP.
As the Sacred Maiden of the World Tree, her body contained immense life energy.
When her power resonated with Krillin's, the system activated:
[Ki Resonance: Dual Cultivation Version]
It was not simple consumption of energy.
It was a mutual elevation of body and soul.
Green life energy and Krillin's golden divine power intertwined throughout the room, forming a brilliant cocoon of light.
Aki trembled.
"Krillin... your energy..."
"It's overwhelming..."
"Overwhelming?"
Krillin laughed softly.
"That's for the future of our family."
For the first time, he fully released the suppression on his Martial God Core.
...
The next morning.
Sunlight streamed across the oversized bed.
Krillin stood on the balcony, refreshed and full of energy as he stretched lazily.
Looking at the long list of notifications on his system panel, a satisfied smile spread across his face.
It was the smile of a farmer admiring a successful harvest.
"This..."
Krillin said with heartfelt satisfaction,
"This is what life is all about."
