Bulma was pregnant, and at the same time, Maki had reached the age for elementary school.
Lott held Maki's small hand and arrived at Shuchi'in Elementary School. Originally, Shuchi'in Academy only had middle and high school divisions. But now, after the principal, Ishigami, noticing that Maki was old enough for elementary school and that the Crown Prince Trunks was soon to be born, swiftly established the Shuchi'in Academy Kindergarten and Elementary divisions.
It was literally preparing an entire feast just for one specific dish.
"Daddy, is this you?" At the entrance of the elementary division next to the high school, Maki, holding her father's left hand, pointed at the large statue on the left side of the school gate.
"Ah... yes, it is." Seeing the statue of himself in the Legendary Super Saiyan Form, Lott's eye twitched involuntarily. He usually didn't notice it, but from a bystander's perspective, his face in that state was indeed quite scary.
'With this placed at the elementary school entrance, is that guy Ishigami not afraid of scaring the children?'
"Then who is he?" Maki pointed at another statue on the right. It was a young man with sharp, starry eyes, flowing center-parted hair, his left arm raised as if rallying, his right hand resting on the hilt of a sword behind his back.
"Your brother." Lott smiled and said.
Maki tilted her head, a big question mark appearing over her small head, 'Brother? Wasn't he still in Mama Bulma's belly? I had touched it just yesterday, so how did he get here now?'
Lott rubbed his chin, thinking it might be better to have Ishigami dismantle the statue of Trunks.
Mainly, he didn't want his other children to feel treated differently.
Holding Maki's hand, they walked into the school. The elementary school's playground, which is even more luxurious than the high school's, was the first thing that caught the eye.
Looking closer, one could see it incorporated elements from schools on other planets. For example, the dojo from the Shin'o Academy of the Planet Shinigami, the targets used for shuriken practice at the Ninja Academy, and even a Pokémon Center.
That's right, the newly established Shuchi'in Elementary division didn't teach standard subjects like national language or math. Instead, it taught combat methods from various planets!
Rumor had it the kindergarten division was even more exaggerated, with even a few Legendary Pokémon coaxed over from the Planet Pokémon and a thousand-year-old dragon kidnapped from the Planet Magic.
Needless to say, this was all prepared for the yet-to-be-born Crown Prince. Well, it felt like Ishigami probably wouldn't be this attentive even to his own future son.
Although Lott himself believed he treated all his children equally, others didn't quite see it that way.
As Lott led Maki onto the playground, a beautiful female teacher with an intellectual big-sister smile was teaching a group of elementary students calisthenics.
The morning sunlight showered on her delicate shoulders, as if draping them in a layer of pale golden gauze. Combined with her exquisite features, she looked like a sun goddess, while her kind smile exuded the vibe of the girl next door.
She's none other than Aerith Gainsborough from the Planet Fantasy! She's now serving as the homeroom teacher for the elementary division.
Seeing Lott and his daughter approaching, Aerith told the children, whose average age was five or six, "Wait for me, everyone," before jogging over.
"Mr. Lott!"
Lott raised a hand in greeting. "Yo~ Aerith, settling in okay?"
During the Universe's Number One Martial Arts Tournament, because Cloud lost to Gintoki, half of the Planet Fantasy was destroyed.
Although Aerith survived, her mother, or more accurately, her foster mother, Elmyra, unfortunately died. This led Aerith away from the path she took in the original work, becoming Cloud's companion.
Later, she became good friends with Tifa by chance, but never initiated a conversation with Cloud. Even though she knew it wasn't really his fault, she just couldn't get over that mental hurdle.
Later, when Ishigami established the elementary and kindergarten divisions and asked who wanted to be teachers, Aerith was one of the countless respondents.
Originally, on the Planet Fantasy, Aerith often interacted with children from the orphanage. Although her own combat skills weren't great, she was indeed very good at dealing with kids aged five to ten.
"I entrust my daughter to you." Lott gently pushed Maki forward.
"Please rest assured." Aerith smiled gently, taking Maki's hand and saying softly, "Maki-chan, come do some calisthenics with teacher and everyone, okay?"
Seemingly moved by Aerith's gentle smile, Maki, who usually didn't like strangers much, obediently nodded.
Lott, standing on the periphery of the playground, took a few more looks at the line of little kids. He spotted quite a few familiar faces. Or rather, the offspring of familiar characters.
For example, Lei, the son of the Pokémon Professor, Kukui and his wife Burnet from the Alola region of the Planet Pokémon, Akimichi Chocho, daughter of Akimichi Choji from Konoha and his wife, a woman from Kumogakure whose name Lott couldn't remember, from the Planet Ninja.
Akimichi Chocho's father spent a fortune to send his precious daughter here as an 'exchange student'. Speaking of the Planet Ninja, it had already entered the Boruto era.
Among the new Konoha 11, there was no 'Uzumaki Boruto' or 'Uchiha Sarada', as Naruto and Sasuke didn't get married.
To be honest, Lott wasn't surprised by this. In the original work, Naruto's pairing was debatable, but when Lott saw Sasuke and Sakura become a couple in his previous life, he was utterly dumbfounded.
No, just no. Never mind the first few hundred chapters, for nearly a thousand chapters, Sasuke never showed any romantic interest in Sakura. And Sakura, although she's the number one female simp in the anime world, Sasuke showed intent to kill her at least twice.
Letting a man who has tried to kill her at least twice sleep beside her at night... Is she not worried at all?
According to Tsunade, it seemed that during the three years Sasuke left Konoha Village, Naruto still diligently sent him messages every day. This might also be why Hinata and Sakura couldn't intervene.
Besides the offspring of these familiar characters, Lott also noticed a delicate and cute-looking loli, though older compared to Maki and Lei… Marlene from the Planet Fantasy. Her identity was Tifa's adopted daughter. Yes, that dynamite body's adopted daughter.
Tifa was also working as a P.E. teacher at this school now.
Coincidentally, after Aerith finished the calisthenics with the kids, Tifa came to take over.
Even a somewhat tacky tracksuit couldn't completely conceal her hot figure. However, her face was as dark as a thundercloud, scaring many of the children into trembling.
Seeing this, Aerith quickly pulled her friend aside and asked in a low voice what was wrong.
Tifa took several deep breaths, her chest under the tracksuit heaving wildly with anger. She said indignantly, "It's all because of that bastard Cloud! He still can't give up on you!"
Actually, Tifa hadn't planned to leave the Planet Fantasy, but she was driven half-crazy by that childhood friend of hers.
Previously, due to Janemba, residents of major planets across the universe suffered heavy losses. The tournament was forced to stop, and the remaining half of the Planet Fantasy barely escaped destruction.
After Tifa and Cloud returned to their home planet, they encountered the homeless Aerith together. Out of kindness, Tifa invited her to live together at [Seventh Heaven].
However, within a few days, the atmosphere changed. Cloud, who used to come to Seventh Heaven at most twice a week, started coming eight times a week after Aerith arrived!
As for how the eighth time happened, it was simple… sometimes he came twice in one day.
