"Mrs. Brief asked me to go shopping, and I called Gine to come along. I'm waiting for her to arrive." Hearing Rhode's inquiry, Aira replied with a relaxed expression. Her gaze fell on Rhode, and seeing something unusual in his expression, she couldn't help but ask with concern, "No breakthrough?"
Looking at Aira's serious face and concerned expression, feeling her care, Rhode's heart beat a little faster, and his eyes became a little warm. However, he immediately pretended that nothing was wrong, forced a smile, and nodded, "Indeed."
Although Rhode remained calm and even smiled, Aira could clearly sense his momentary emotional change. Rhode had something on his mind! But he didn't want to talk about it, and Aira found it difficult to bring it up directly. She stared at Rhode's face for a moment, then joked, "Don't worry, I haven't broken through to Super Saiyan 3 yet, so I won't be able to catch up to you for now!" Aira wanted to comfort Rhode, but she was worried about hurting his pride. Therefore, she could only express her feelings in a roundabout way.
"Hehe." Rhode didn't respond to Aira's words but couldn't help but chuckle. He understood what she meant by that statement.
"Aira, I'm here!" Just then, Gine, dressed in casual Earth clothes, walked over. Seeing that Rhode was also there, she immediately asked, "What are you two talking about?"
"What else could it be? Cultivation matters, of course!" Facing Gine's question, Aira replied with a relaxed smile.
"Cultivation, huh~" Hearing Aira say that, Gine couldn't help but sigh, reaching up to press her forehead, her expression a little helpless: "Those three guys in my family only know how to cultivate now!" Indeed, among their family of four, besides her, Goku, Bardock, and Raditz had all become cultivation fanatics, dedicating their entire being to cultivation, with no one paying attention to her.
However, it was not surprising that the three of them cultivated with such fervor. Leaving aside Goku's pure pursuit of martial arts cultivation, Bardock and Raditz, after arriving on Earth, were deeply shocked, and naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to improve their strength. Not only were they instantly defeated by Rhode's clone upon arriving on Earth, but several masters at the World Martial Arts Tournament were also beyond their reach. This situation deeply wounded Bardock's pride, and even Raditz, who wasn't particularly fixated on Saiyan pride, was still struck by his younger brother Kakarot.
With his father and younger brother working so hard, if he didn't cultivate diligently, wouldn't he fall even further behind? Moreover, Rhode not only had complete cultivation methods but also more scientific and efficient cultivation facilities. Naturally, they had to make full use of them to enhance their strength as much as possible. As fellow Saiyans, since Rhode and Aira could become so powerful, there was no reason why they couldn't.
"Cultivation isn't as simple as just training hard!" Facing Gine's complaint, Aira said something meaningful, then linked arms with Gine and walked towards the Universal Capsule park on the other side. However, before leaving, she casually bid farewell to Rhode: "I'm going out! If you're stuck on a breakthrough, you can go for a walk!" With that, Aira and Gine left the yard and soon disappeared from Rhode's sight.
"Family, huh~" Thinking of Gine's complaints about Goku, Bardock, and Raditz, and then remembering Aira's casual and natural farewell to him before leaving, Rhode felt a lot of emotions. Imperceptibly, Aira had already become an inseparable part of his life; even if he didn't want to admit it, this reality still existed.
Standing quietly in the yard, Rhode thought of nothing, just stood there, his senses open, aimlessly feeling his surroundings, feeling everything on Earth. As his control over power grew stronger, his perception ability had now become different from before. Previously, Rhode only perceived the ki, location, strength, good and evil, etc., of living beings, but now he could simulate the image of the perceived life based on the ki he sensed. More simply put, at the moment Rhode sensed ki, he saw the form and appearance of the other party.
At this moment, as his perception spread, feeling the daily lives of ordinary people on Earth, feeling every blade of grass and tree on Earth, Rhode's heart became more peaceful than ever before. The world is so beautiful, why bother with too many worries. Just standing quietly in the yard, time flowed by unknowingly. Rhode was completely immersed in it, so much so that he didn't even notice Aira's return.
When he came back to his senses and returned to himself, it was already dark, but the light emanating from the house in the darkness made him feel very warm.
"Rhode, I've made dinner, come and try it!" Just then, Aira's cheerful voice came from behind him, and he couldn't help but turn to look. What he saw was Aira, dressed in a blue dress with an apron over it, waving to him.
"Coming!" Seeing such an ordinary yet warm scene, Rhode finally let go of the high and mighty, so-called arrogance of a transmigrator that he held in his heart. He walked into the house completely relaxed.
At this moment, under the lamplight, his gaze fell on Aira in her blue long dress and apron, and he suddenly realized that she was so beautiful. Since returning from the parallel world, especially after confirming their feelings on the desolate planet, in their daily life back on Earth, Aira would occasionally wear casual clothes. However, in the past two years or so, he hadn't paid special attention; this was the first time he had looked so carefully.
"Aira, you look so good in that!" Feeling this way, Rhode couldn't help but smile and compliment Aira.
"Of course!" Facing Rhode's almost first compliment, Aira looked proud and then urged him to eat: "Come quickly and try my cooking! I've been learning for a long time!" In her words, Aira spoke with great pride.
"Then I must give it a try!" Rhode readily agreed, walked into the living room, and then his gaze fell on the dishes on the table. However, with one glance, his face couldn't help but twitch, as what appeared before him at that moment were all large, chunky pieces of various types of meat.
"Not bad!" Seeing such a scene, and then seeing Aira's expectant look, Rhode complimented her against his conscience.
"Really? I thought I didn't do well!" Hearing Rhode say that, Aira's face immediately lit up with joy. As she spoke, she cut a large piece of beef and handed it to him: "Here, eat!"
"Okay!" Taking the steak, which was bigger than his face, Rhode didn't stand on ceremony and immediately began to eat it in large mouthfuls. Although the food Aira prepared was crude, it was quite normal for a Saiyan; only then could they eat their fill.
"Hmm? The taste is really good!" As the beef entered his mouth, experiencing the delicious flavor, Rhode couldn't help but nod to Aira. To be fair, although these dishes were a bit unconventional, the taste was truly undeniable. It was clear that Aira had put a lot of thought into them.
