Teleporting into the air between Sharuru and No. 21, Yuujin spoke.
Besides Yuujin, Vegea and No. 18 blocked No. 21, while Gokumi and Chi-Chi blocked Sharuru.
"I'm going to kill her!"
Bloodshot with rage, Sharuru refused to stop. Ignoring Gokumi and Chi-Chi's attempts to hold her back, she charged toward No. 21 again.
"Sharuru, are you going to disobey my command?!"
Releasing a powerful aura, Yuujin said coldly.
Although Yuujin had always encouraged competition among his followers, he absolutely couldn't tolerate infighting or killing among his own people. Sharuru's behavior had genuinely made him angry.
Staring into Yuujin's cold eyes, Sharuru trembled and finally snapped back to her senses.
"S-Sorry, Master."
Lowering her head, the now-clearheaded Sharuru finally reined in her killing intent.
"Sharuru, I allow you to be cruel to enemies, but I will never allow you to show killing intent to our own companions. Understand?"
"I understand, Master."
Yuujin spoke seriously, and Sharuru replied sincerely.
Seeing her attitude wasn't bad, Yuujin's gaze softened quite a bit.
Gently caressing Sharuru's scar-covered face, Yuujin continued:
"There's something off about No. 21's side, but you went too far as well. Let's call it even. Go tend to your injuries."
"What, does Master now hate this ugly face of mine too?"
Perhaps remembering No. 21's earlier words, Sharuru suddenly looked up and said sarcastically.
Yuujin chuckled—this silly woman really wanted to pick a fight with him, huh?
Not bothering to argue, Yuujin grabbed her chin and silenced her lips with his own.
He continued his fierce conquest until finally, after a long while, he let her go.
"I do hate this ugly face of yours—so hurry up and get it healed!"
"Now, is there any problem?"
Yuujin said domineeringly, but whatever resentment Sharuru had felt was already gone.
"Yes, my Master."
Knowing that her Master wouldn't abandon or hate her just because her face was injured, Sharuru's mood improved greatly. She even gave No. 21 a provocative glance.
But when she saw that No. 21 wasn't even looking in her direction, her expression froze again.
As expected, she still hated that woman!
"No. 21, you're quite impressive—barely born and already so powerful."
"All of this was granted to me by Master and Lady Bulma. I still have much to learn."
"Oh? You weren't acting so humble when you fought Sharuru earlier."
"Hehehe…"
No. 18 and the others laughed and chatted with No. 21, the atmosphere quite pleasant. Yuujin also flew over:
"You're quite good, No. 21. Serve me well from now on."
Surveying No. 21, who had returned to her normal form, Yuujin spoke.
"I will offer you everything I have, my Master."
Bowing respectfully to Yuujin, No. 21 replied.
Narrowing his eyes, Yuujin silently thought she was interesting.
Having lived two lifetimes, Yuujin could be considered a shrewd man.
Although Sharuru was dark and cruel, impulsive, and even dared talk back to him when angry, ever since she acknowledged Yuujin as her Master, her loyalty had been absolute.
But No. 21 was different. Though she appeared to get along well with everyone, her battle with Sharuru showed she had a deep sense of pride.
Her submissive behavior toward Yuujin—was it really loyalty? More likely, it was her reading the situation and acting accordingly.
After all, in addition to Majin Buu's power, she had inherited Bulma's genius intellect. She was extremely smart.
Of course, that didn't mean her loyalty was fake—just that it remained to be tested.
These androids were powerful and dangerous—both Yuujin and Bulma knew that. Yuujin didn't expect to rely solely on the commands Bulma had programmed into No. 21 to ensure her obedience.
To make No. 21 truly submit and be loyal, he'd have to train her himself!
No. 21 was undoubtedly a perfect android. From earlier tests, she had not only met but exceeded Yuujin and Bulma's expectations. With just a bit of adaptation and training, her intelligence and power would make her a crucial part of the team.
Precisely because of that, earning her loyalty and submission was vital.
With a slight smile, Yuujin already had plans in mind.
"Bulma, from now on No. 21 is one of us. Go get her settled in."
"Okay, leave it to me!"
Although No. 21 was very smart, she had only just been born. Her knowledge and experience had been uploaded by Bulma, so in some ways, she was still quite naive.
To train and conquer her—it had to be done as early as possible.
Thus, after having Bulma arrange accommodations for her, Yuujin deliberately spent time with No. 21.
He summoned her to his palace, where, day after day, he trained her—leaving his mark not only on her body but on her soul.
During the training, Yuujin also called Sharuru to join.
After all, everyone would be living and fighting together. Yuujin didn't want Sharuru and No. 21 to be on bad terms. Training them together as comrades and teammates would help improve their relationship.
This was something Yuujin had learned from experience—like with No. 18 and Dark No. 18. They used to hate each other, but after years of Yuujin's training, they'd become the best team in the entire temple.
History had proven—going through hardship together was one of the best ways to improve relationships.
Watching Sharuru and No. 21 kneel before him, working hard to please him, Yuujin finally revealed a satisfied smile...
Majin Buu had joined the temple. No. 21 had been born and become one of Yuujin's people. Earth had returned to its peaceful days.
Each day they trained and cultivated as usual. At the same time, they indulged and decayed in pleasure. Occasionally, when in the mood, Yuujin and the girls would travel the universe together, patrolling their empire's territory.
And so, in this peaceful yet fulfilling life—
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye…
