Chapter 54 - Chapter 54: An Encounter at the Restaurant

Seeing Piccolo agree, Goku immediately went to find Krillin and the others.

With the sky already dark, Goku led everyone to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

It was the very same restaurant where Master Roshi had once treated them after Goku's first World Martial Arts Tournament.

"Krillin, do you remember this place?"

"Of course! This is where Master Roshi treated us—and you ate up all his prize money in one sitting!"

"Yeah…" Goku scratched his head, looking a little nostalgic, "Too bad Master Roshi didn't come this time."

"Alright then, what do you all want to eat? I'll order." Chi-Chi took charge immediately.

Goku, without hesitation, rattled off a long list of dishes. Just then, a father and daughter walked into the restaurant.

It was Mr. Satan and Videl.

"Videl, what do you want to eat?" Mr. Satan asked.

Just as she was about to answer, Videl suddenly noticed a familiar figure.

At the table sat Gohan, along with Piccolo, Krillin, and the others. Every quarterfinalist from the tournament was gathered there.

Such terrifying connections…

"Dad, isn't that Piccolo? The one who beat you?"

"Piccolo?" Mr. Satan followed her gaze and immediately stiffened.

Not just Piccolo—Krillin and the rest were there too.

And then—

"Son Gohan…"

Although Videl claimed she didn't care, Mr. Satan's fatherly instincts flared.

With a nod, Videl walked straight toward Gohan's table.

"Videl!" Mr. Satan hurried after her.

Seeing her approach, Gohan greeted her calmly.

"Videl."

Krillin followed Gohan's line of sight.

"Gohan, you know her?"

Gohan nodded.

"She was the runner-up in the youth division."

"Runner-up? So you beat her?"

"Mm."

By then, Videl had already reached the table.

"We meet again, Son Gohan."

Gohan nodded politely.

Before she could continue, Mr. Satan rushed up beside her.

"Videl, what are you doing here?"

Before she could answer, Goku suddenly spoke.

"Hey, aren't you the guy Piccolo beat earlier?"

"I'm not 'that guy'! I'm Mr. Satan!" Mr. Satan snapped angrily.

"Oh, sorry. Your name slipped my mind." Goku laughed casually.

Mr. Satan snorted, clearly annoyed.

Then Videl suddenly looked at Goku.

"Uncle… are you Son Gohan's dad?"

Goku nodded, "Yes."

"Then, Uncle, where do you live?"

The question stunned Chi-Chi, Krillin, and the others.

She… she came here just to ask for their home address?

Kids these days really grew up fast.

"Videl!" Mr. Satan hissed, mortified.

Usually it was boys asking girls questions like that—his daughter was doing the opposite.

"Dad? What's wrong?"

Mr. Satan was at a complete loss for words.

Without thinking, Goku answered honestly.

"We live in West City, XXXX."

"Thank you, Uncle!"

"So… why do you want our address?"

Krillin and the others exchanged helpless looks.

Goku—almost thirty years old—was still unbelievably naïve.

"I want to spar with Son Gohan."

"Spar?"

"Yes! I lost today, so next time, I'll beat him."

"Beat Gohan?" Everyone stared at her in silence.

Gohan was currently the strongest among them.

Meanwhile, Videl wasn't even stronger than her own father.

"Yep!"

At that moment, Mr. Satan grabbed her hand.

"Alright, Videl. Let's order before it gets too late."

Pulled away reluctantly, Videl left with him.

Goku's group returned to their seats.

Soon, dishes began arriving one after another.

"Chi-Chi, can we start eating now?" Goku stared at the roasted suckling pig like it was an old enemy.

"Mm."

The moment Chi-Chi nodded, Goku attacked the food.

Chomp, chomp, chomp—

The noise quickly drew the attention of the entire restaurant.

Mr. Satan and Videl stared in disbelief.

Once Gohan and the others joined in, even Gohan—normally restrained—ate much faster than usual.

Mr. Satan was dumbfounded. Are these people even human?

"Boss! More food!" Goku shouted.

The restaurant owner hurried over, clearing plates and serving more dishes.

Burp!

At last, Goku let out a loud belch.

The owner and waiters nearly collapsed from exhaustion.

They had served the equivalent of six full tables.

"Check, please!" Chi-Chi called out.

"One moment!"

The owner picked up the long receipt from the floor and began calculating.

"Monsters…" Mr. Satan muttered under his breath.

Finally, the owner finished tallying the bill.

"Ma'am, the total comes to one million and thirty thousand zeni."

"That much? Can't you give us a discount?"

"I can take off ten thousand at most."

Chi-Chi sighed and handed over her card.

"There goes half the prize money."
