"I've granted all your wishes—farewell."
After fulfilling Yuujin and the others' wishes, Shenron spoke and then reverted back into Dragon Balls, preparing to scatter.
But saying farewell was pointless. A few of the Red Silk Girls shot into the sky and grabbed all seven Dragon Balls before they could fly off. As the group's wish fulfilling machine, they couldn't let the Dragon Balls be lost.
Suno and Meizhen took the Dragon Balls back to seal them, while Yuujin and the girls turned their attention to Buu.
Now with her body reconstituted by Shenron, Buu lay quietly on the ground.
Hmm… it looked like she was asleep...
"Buu, Buu."
Bending down, Yuujin patted Buu, trying to wake her up. But no matter how long he patted her, there was no reaction.
"Dad, could it be that Shenron only restored Buu's body but didn't actually bring her back to life?"
Goteno and Trunksia also leaned in and gave her a few pats as they spoke.
"No, Buu should be alive. I can clearly feel her energy."
"Trunksia, give me a piece of your chocolate."
Yuujin stroked his chin in thought, then said.
Although she wasn't sure what her father was up to, Trunksia still took out a piece of chocolate from her snacks and handed it to Yuujin.
Yuujin held the chocolate close to Buu's nose. Her small nose twitched a couple times, and in the next instant, she chomped down on the chocolate and suddenly sat upright.
"Mmm! So tasty, so tasty!"
"Haha! This Buu is hilarious."
Gokumi couldn't help but laugh watching her. Yuujin had been calling her for ages with no response, but just a piece of chocolate and she was wide awake.
What a glutton!
"You all!"
Suddenly noticing Yuujin and the others, Buu's gaze turned cold, and she threw a punch at Yuujin.
"Buu, why are you attacking us?"
Yuujin blocked her attack, and Gokumi along with the others quickly retreated to distance themselves.
Everyone had witnessed Buu and Oobu's power before, so they knew how dangerous she could be.
"You're all bad people!"
"You ganged up on me and blasted me into the sun! It hurt so much!"
Buu fumed. Yuujin scratched his head awkwardly—he hadn't expected her to remember all that.
"Buu, it was all a misunderstanding. We were only trying to stop Oobu inside you. We were never your enemies."
"Babidi is dead, and Oobu is gone from your body. You're free now."
Not wanting Buu to hold a grudge, Yuujin quickly explained.
Still unsure, Buu sensed her own body and soon beamed with joy:
"That annoying guy really is gone!"
Buu had always hated Oobu for constantly trying to take over her body. Now that she couldn't sense him anymore, she was beyond delighted.
"See? I wasn't lying, was I?"
"Mm, you weren't lying."
Yuujin smiled, and Buu nodded. The hostility in her eyes faded significantly.
"Now that you're free, Buu, is there anything you want to do?"
Seizing the moment, Yuujin asked again.
"I want to find yummy food!"
Buu replied without hesitation.
Yuujin, Bulma, and the others nearly burst out laughing. She really was someone without dreams. Her whole purpose in life seemed to be eating.
"In that case, how about staying with us as one of our companions?"
"We have the most delicious food in the whole world. If you stay, you can eat as much as you like."
"Really?"
Yuujin extended the olive branch again, and this time Buu was clearly tempted.
With Babidi gone, Yuujin was determined to keep Buu this time. He gave a signal to a few sacred maids nearby. The girls bowed and quickly returned with piles of delicious snacks.
"Try them out—see if you like them."
Yuujin handed the snacks to Buu with a smile.
Drooling, Buu eagerly tasted them. Her eyes squinted with delight:
"Mmm! So good!"
"So what do you think, Buu? If you stay and become our companion, there will be even more delicious things like these."
"Even more and more…"
Yuujin kept tempting her, and Buu gulped—obviously extremely tempted.
"Buu, you don't really have anywhere else to go. Just stay with us."
"Yeah, stay! Let's play together!" Goteno and Trunksia added, knowing their dad wanted to keep Buu.
But Buu waved her hand at them with a look of disdain:
"I don't wanna play with you little brats. Shoo, shoo."
Goteno and Trunksia were instantly furious. This annoying Buu! Just because she looked a bit older than them—her personality was just as childish and gluttonous!
"Alright, Goteno, Trunksia—don't get mad."
"Buu, have you made your decision? Can you tell me?"
Yuujin gently calmed them and asked Buu again.
While the thought of wandering freely was nice, Buu struggled for a long time before finally giving in to the temptation of good food:
"Fine, I'll stay. But you better not lie to me! You have to give me yummy things every day!"
"Of course! I promise. From now on, you can call me Master Feeder."
(T/N: This dude…)
Yuujin grinned inwardly at his success, then added.
"Master Feeder?"
"It means I'll take care of you and feed you every day with lots of delicious food. That's why you should call me Master Feeder."
Buu tilted her head, puzzled, but Yuujin patiently explained with a smile.
Bulma and the other women were all holding back laughter.
Yuujin, the scoundrel—he totally planned to adopt Buu like a pet!
But obviously, the simple-minded Buu didn't get it. Instead, she was delighted by the idea.
To be taken care of and fed every day—Master Feeder sounded like an incredible person!
"Master Feeder!"
"Good girl."
Buu called out happily, and Yuujin also smiled as he patted the little horn on her head.
He'd been wanting to touch that horn for a long time—soft, smooth, and springy. It felt amazing!
