Wow, it's been over a year.
I'm really sorry for the wait, but like many, COVID brought big changes in my life, and well, in general, I got pretty busy with college and my job, so it didn't give me much time.
However, I didn't want to let this die, I'll try maybe at least one chapter per month, or if possible, one every two weeks, although I can't promise much.
I always keep an eye out for reviews, PMs are kind of weird on this site, so suddenly I get spam there so I don't check them, so you better leave a review if you want to tell me something. And anyway, your good or bad comments are always welcome, actually the reason why I decided to follow this is because I read several comments that motivated me to do so.
Thanks a lot to all of you!
By the way, if you know Spanish then go to my profile and read the Spanish version. That's the original and my Spanish is better than my English.

CHAPTER 3: Are you the Monkey King?
Detective Tsukauchi was not expecting any of this when he received a call from Toshinori, half an hour ago.
-Half an hour ago-
It all started well, in fact, quite well. His friend of many years was telling him that he had finally found a successor for One for All.
The news were welcome, no doubt, because All Might, as Toshinori is publicly known, no longer had the same vitality as in his best years, after sustaining injuries fighting against his worst enemy, All for One.
These injuries had caused him to now have a time limit in which he could use his powers, and as it has been seen over the years, this decreased little by little depending on how much he overexerted himself... for some causes, perhaps going plus ultra was not the best of alternatives, considering that his time had been drastically reduced to 3 hours per day.
Therefore, a successor to his power was necessary and part of the reason that Toshinori would seek a job at UA to look for a possible candidate among the students, and by the way, maybe to take a look at the one student that his former sidekick, Nighteye had been suggesting to him, despite the strained relationship that now existed between the two of them.
Anyway, the detective was happy that his friend had found, even before UA, someone he could feel suitable for the "mantle"; he could hear it in his voice during the call, as he spoke of a certain Midoriya Izuku and how he had proven to be a hero, even when shortly before, All Might himself had shattered his dreams.
"Even after my words... even when no other hero present decided to act out of fear, this young man, without any power and only armed with a big heart, threw himself into danger without hesitation" With joy, he talked about Izuki, his successor. Alas, with feelings of guilt for what he had told him when Izuku asked him if he could be a hero despite being quirkless.
"I understand Toshi, Midoriya sounds like a real hero, tell me, have you already talked to him then?"
"No, I'm watching him right now so as not to lose him and make him the offer, I am just waiting for the right moment, but first I wanted to tell you something... as you know, normally I would tell you about young Midoriya in person" because of course, talking about One for All over the phone was dangerous, you could never be too careful, hence why the language used during the call, had been somewhat ambiguous; not mentioning All Might, One for All, or anything more specific, beyond saying that he had finally 'found him' and the mention of a certain Midoriya Izuku who had the potential to be a hero "However, I didn't call you to tell you about him, the real reason is to tell you about the boy who saved Midoriya..."
Yes, at that time, All Might had been unable to do anything. His time limit was over and using that as an excuse, he stood there paralyzed without being able to move to save the life of that boy with the explosive quirk.
An immense shame had filled him, when he saw the teenager whose dreams, he had recently shattered; inspired by that noble act, All Might, who was angry and disappointed with himself, was about to go beyond his limits and do something about it... but before he could take his muscular form, someone, another boy from the audience jumped into action.
"I couldn't hear his name before the authorities took him away, but just like young Midoriya, that boy with the tail has the heart of a great hero... many would think twice before using his quirk in public, surrounded by so many people and heroes..." even vigilantes, normally they would leave that kind of thing to the heroes, there was no reason to draw so much attention; so All Might was convinced that the boy with a tail had acted with the best intentions, not to mention that he had actually taken care of the situation spectacularly... in a way even similar to what, All might himself, had planned "However, this young man, seeing someone in danger, decided to act... sure, we don't condemn the public use of quirks like that, the law is there for a reason, but as long as it's the first time he does it, would you do me a favor and make sure they are not too strict with him? He acted when other heroes and I doubted to act, so I really wouldn't want him to get in too much trouble for it"
"I understand, Toshi...you know I'm not a big fan of vigilantes and I'm strict with the law, but as long as it's his first time and considering the circumstances, I'll make sure other officers won't be unfair to him."
Some members of the police could be a bit harsh on people who used their quirk without permission. Not in the way Naomasa saw it, he believed in being strict and respecting the law, but there were other members of the police, who fueled by hatred and resentment for people with high value or useful quirks, could act unprofessionally, or even be stubborn enough to charge people who in fact had good justification for using their quirk, such as in cases of self-defense.
"Thank you."
"Don't even say it, it's no problem"
"Same, I know I can always count on you Nao... oh, I have to go, young Midoriya just talked to the other boy involved in the incident and I don't see anyone else around, I think there's no better time than now... talk to you later"
"Okay, take care, Toshi."
-Present time-
A mere favor and the mention of Toshi's possible successor... yes, everything normal, until he heard all the commotion in Mori's office, just when he was on his way there to act as he had promised his friend.
Yes, listening as he approached, to a young woman, talking about a supposed parallel earth and how they came from this one, had really seemed strange to him... even more when his quirk had detected that the blue-haired woman was not lying.
Of course, not for that reason he believed her... his quirk had a very simple and logical flaw, which anyone could discover if they thought about it a little bit. That is the fact that it only detects falsehoods under the point of view of the person who tells them. In other words, if the person he is questioning or talking to says something they believe to be true, his quirk will obviously register it as truth, even if it is a fact as absurd as coming from another world.
Well, not that he's not the kind of person who likes to judge a person as crazy so fast... yes, the idea was absurd, and he was more inclined that the girl perhaps suffered the effects of a quirk or simply had a mental health problem... whatever it was, it was his duty to listen to them and see if he could help them; not only because his friend had asked him to, but because of what he had sworn when joining the police.
And so, he decided to listen to her first; perhaps the girl would come up with a plausible explanation for what she was saying, but... he never expected to hear of some seven magical balls, a band of thieves and how these had possibly used these to send them to this universe... earth by wishing upon a magic dragon, or whatever that was.
"And you... Son… "he would say, glancing at the case file that lay on his desk reading thus the last name of the boy called Son Goku "Do you also know about these dragon balls?"
"Yses, my grasnd"
"Goku, swallow before you speak" With a firm, authoritative tone, Bulma "suggested" to Goku.
The boy would finish chewing his popcorn, then swallow it before speaking; the detective still didn't understand where the boy had gotten a popcorn machine from... something about a quirk he had heard Morita from afar, but there were for the moment more important things
"Ah... yes, my grandpa gave me the four-star one, it was my memento of him" the boy would begin to explain "We have used them several times... to revive Upa's father, Master Roshi, and other people... they were created by Kami-sama.
The detective just... arched his eyebrows in surprise; to hear the other boy corroborate about the supposed dragon balls and feel how his quirk registered it as true, was something... well, he wasn't expecting that. Much less the mention of God... so reasonably, he was now leaning more towards them both having been affected by some quirk... perhaps as a mere joke, or something more serious; because if they had at least used a more "scientific" reason, like a machine, an accident using a quirk or something similar, at least their story would sound more credible than seven magical balls created by God, which could summon a magical dragon that could even revive the dead.
"Excuse me... this, you can understand that all this is hard to believe" he said honestly.
"Yes..." being calmer than before, Bulma would let out a sigh "but I think I can offer some proof... well, not for the dragon balls, but proof to prove that we are actually from another world"
"Sure, go ahead... although I admit it's unbelievable what you say... at least I'll listen to both of you" he wouldn't necessarily keep an open mind..., maybe a little, but it was his duty as a police detective, to listen to them.
"Well, for starters, this" approaching Goku, who was about to continue eating, she pressed a button on the popcorn machine, causing a cloud of smoke to rise.
"Hey!"
"Shut up Goku, you can eat later!"
Naomasa would react a little, but since the cloud of smoke or whatever it was, wasn't so obstructive as to hide Bulma and Goku, he didn't think it was some ruse to escape.
Luckily, the door to his office was closed as were the blinds, because if another policeman saw the smoke, they probably would be probably spooked.
"I'm sure they don't have something like this here" Naomasa surprised would see how the machine had disappeared and how the girl now held out her hand to him and showed a strange, capsule?
"These are Hoi-Poi capsules, invented by my father, and they are the main product of our company; they can store practically everything, even a house with all the necessities installed... although well, clearly I'm not going to use one of those inside of a building"
Somewhat intrigued and fascinated, Naomasa would take the capsule in his hands, so he could inspect it more closely.
He could read on the small label of the capsule, a number, as well as other information in Japanese, mentioning the company that manufactured them and other information such as the date of manufacture or serial number.
"Press the button and throw it on the ground"
After Bulma's suggestion, he would hesitrantely doing just that, only to see the popcorn machine appear again.
"I'm still hungry" Goku said standing up to again grab the machine and inhumanly continue to eat them all, which Bulma would allow, hoping it would occupy her friend enough to let her carry on with their conversation.
"I must say... I've never seen anything like this... not an advertisement or anything like that, not even in I-island"
Naomasa couldn't even say it was a secret prototype or something similar... the capsule looked like a commercial product, something finished and for sale, judging by the labels on it.
"I-island?"
"Ah, it's one of the most important places on the planet, home and workplace of the most brilliant scientific minds in the world"
"Oh, interesting" Bulma would say, slightly intrigued as to how she would compare to such scientists or if she could find anything there to go home to.
As for Goku, he was still eating, not really paying much attention and perhaps somewhat bored, which, if it weren't for the popcorn, he would already be anxious to go out there
Naomasa for his part, was thinking deeply... this was already getting pretty serious... because unless someone had given this girl, an innovative technology that could basically change the whole world, to simply reinforce the idea that they were travelers from a parallel reality, it was something pretty stupid or pretty serious.
A quirk... it was possible, if it weren't for the fact that the device could be operated by anyone... if it was a quirk, that could so conveniently encapsulate things, so that anyone could release and re-encapsulate them with just a button... well, the person with said quirk would surely be making quite a bit of money making use of it, even if their limit were objects the size and weight of the popcorn machine.
"And well, maybe they don't have something like this too?" with a little demonstration, Bulma would press the button on her bracelet, shrinking to the detective's surprise and almost immediately returning to her natural size "It's not a quirk or whatever Morita mentioned earlier... if you think so, try it for yourself" again she would pass the device to Naomasa to try it out for herself, indicating which buttons to use.
And so he did.
The shrinking sensation was strange... not to forget how his entire office had become huge... somewhat intimidating, so he would promptly press the button to return to normal.
"S-surprising... but... I can't believe it" somewhat agitated, he would pass the bracelet back to its owner.
"I understand it's hard to believe... me too, when I realized what actually happened I was pretty scared, it's something incredible... but I'm sure there are similar theories here too of the possible existence of alternate realities or universes... not to say dimensions... I'm sure maybe nothing concrete like at home, but the possibility is there, isn't it?
"Well... I'm not a scientist... but I sure have heard of it, but..."
"If you want more proof, maybe... by quirks do they mean super powers or something similar?" She had heard others mention quirks before just before they were arrested, or by Morita when she explained that maybe it could be part of her quirk... so Bulma theorized that maybe they were referring to some sort of special ability.
"Yes... around 200 years ago, humans began to develop quirks, which are basically special abilities... some can, for example, manipulate fire, change their size, super strength, etc. Practically there is everything, although they are skills that focus on something specific, you will not see someone who can fly, but at the same time have another different power" he would explain in brief terms.
"In that case, a blood test or something like that, should corroborate that we don't have that mutation or whatever caused the emergence of the quirks, don't you think?"
"Well... there are people who are known as quirkless... who have not manifested the mutation"
"Even so, for example, even if someone doesn't develop a certain genetic aspect, it doesn't mean they don't have it in their genes... if it's been all that time since these quirks appeared, even someone without powers, they must have something in their DNA that...
"No, it doesn't work like that, a quirk factor... it's, something quite complicated that people don't know much about... a person without a quirk may not show any trace of the factor in their DNA, but still, they may have children that have the mutation."
He wasn't a scientist or anything like that, but it was almost universal knowledge, someone who has already gone through all of middle and higher education, should know something as simple as that.
"Wow... that doesn't make sense... but" somewhat irritated, she couldn't understand how these powers worked, but something was clear to her "Goku, for example, surely you know about what he did, right?"
"That's right"
"What did I do?" having already finished the popcorn, he put the machine aside.
"The monster that you defeated, Goku"
"Oh! Yes!"
"Where I'm coming from with this, is that Goku doesn't have any of these quirks either... he's trained to be as strong as he is, so, if they test him for this 'quirk factor', they are not gonna find it."
"B-but... how? With mere training? How specifically did you defeat the villain?"
"The villain? Oh... that gelatinous thing? Well... I hit it, but it didn't seem to do anything to it... its body was all weird, so I used my ki to blast it to pieces"
"Ki?" the word was obviously Japanese, but the way he had used it was weird "how did you defeat the villain using your... energy?"
"Well... all living things have ki, even you and Bulma... well, people's here, including yours feel strange, but by using this energy, one can be stronger!" he would say, energetically raising his arms.
"Uh... Goku means that, using this energy, one can increase one's physical strength and... I guess launch pure energy attacks? Like your Kame Hame Ha, right, Goku?" She tried to translate whatever Goku said.
"Yes! You can sense people's ki to locate them or read their movements... although the former is difficult if you are far away from them and their energy is low... energy attack like the Kame Hame Ha... you can fly..." he started to explain, trying to remember the applications that Ki had, according to Mr. Popo.
"F-flying? " both surprised, at the same time, Bulma and the detective said.
"Yes... Bulma, like Chaoz, don't you remember?"
"Right..." memories of the previous tournament would flash through her head, remembering the strange dwarf with psychic powers, though she didn't expect that was something everyone could do with the use of Ki.
"Son, can you fly or demonstrate any of this?" Naomasa asked, his mind trying to process everything so fa because this was all getting out of hand and though he didn't want to admit it... Naomasa was really starting to believe that they were from another world.
"Uh... no, no, your Kame Hame Ha is too dangerous, do you want him to blow up the office?!" waving her hands in the air, Bulma immediately wanted to stop Goku before he did something stupid... she'd known him long enough to risk it.
"Relax, Bulma, with Mr. Popo I trained enough in this year, I do not need to use the Kame Hame Ha to show him what ki can do" Goku said, raising his hand so they could both see it well and then he begun to concentrate, generating above his palm, a warm and glowing ball of energy "This is ki"
"Oh... that reminds me of what one of the UA students can do, although hers are like spirals and she can even fly too now that I remember."
"That's new" Bulma would mutter, how absurdly strong had her friend grown in the year she spent literally with Kami-sama himself as his teacher?
"Interesting, and flying?" Naomasa asked, again remembering Nejire Hado, a second year student at UA.
"Well…"
"Hey! Can you also fly like Chaoz? Or well, levitate would be more accurate, I wouldn't really call it Flying, Goku"
"Yes and no Bulma, flying is possible, although it takes a lot of energy if you are not good with the technique and is very tiring... I'm still not very good with it, hence why I still use my Kintoun
"Kintoun?" Naomasa thought it sounded familiar.
"It's my..."
"Not now Goku, detective, first let's see if Goku can show him that he can fly and then we'll talk to him about the cloud, I guess it will be something else that can serve as proof for him, now that I think about it" Bulma suggested, preventing losing track of the conversation.
"Understood, then, Son, go ahead please" the Detective said, letting Goku get ready.
"Okay" the monkey-tailed boy said, and then he got up from his seat.
A few seconds later, he would slowly start to float in the air, until he was high enough, surprising Naomasa again and even Bulma a little, not expecting her friend to fly without his cloud.
"It's different from that girl's... her energy was visible while flying, but Son is flying without the use of anything apparently... same, I think it could pass as a quirk somehow if one tries hard to explain it, but if it's true what they say and it has no factor... this is, amazing."
With what little space the office provided, Goku started to maneuver through the air a bit, until finally returning to the ground, a bit shaken... not much, but you could tell he had struggled a bit with that little demonstration.
"Phew... I still can't get used to that, Mr. Popo says that, if I learn to manipulate my ki better, I'll be able to fly without expending so much energy... although I doubt I can be as fast as my Kintoun" with a smile, Goku explained, before returning to his seat.
"I must admit that it is incredible... with a quirk it is still possible to explain his powers, there is a person who exhibits similar abilities, but... if it is true what you say and he has no factor, it will be simple to corroborate with an exam... and this, Kintoun? what exactly is it?" the term was familiar to him, but it eluded him, perhaps all that he had been told clouded and occupied his mind.
"Ah yes, it's this magic cloud that Goku has, it allows him to fly through the skies, although according to this only pure-hearted people can ride it... which, if you ask me, is just a case of a prejudiced cloud, as if it's possible that a beautiful lady like me, doesn't have a pure heart"Bulma commented, explaining the cloud with some resentment.
"Haha, Bulma, Kintoun doesn't like you, nothing can be done" Goku would say, laughing a little.
"Flying cloud... Kintoun ... wait... Son Goku... Kintun, isn't that Journey to the West?"
"what is that?"
"Don't you know what or where the West is, Bulma? How silly" sure... he had to learn from Master Roshi, but even he already knew the cardinal points well.
"Not that Goku, stupid" she gave Goku a well-deserved good smack on the head.
"Ouch!"
"Detective, what is Journey to the West?"
"It's... this must be a joke" He didn't know whether to take this new information as proof that it wasn't true what they were saying or that the craziness kept on splicing "It's a Chinese and ancient work from about 1500 years ago... it's about this monk who meets and travels with three immortals... one of them is Sun Wukong, or as he is known in Japanese, Son Goku, the Monkey King... and well, this character is an immortal god who could fly through the clouds using Kintoun... " this got Bulma and Goku's attention "It also could not carry passengers... it is said that the impure nature of mortals made them too heavy."
"How is it that a 1500-year-old story has a character by the name of Goku who happens to have a flying cloud also called Kintoun?" Bulma asked, this was indeed absurd.
"Well, I don't remember much about the story, I don't know if he called the cloud Kintoun or the technique he used to fly through the clouds was Kintoun"
"What is China?" Goku asked, looking like this was what had caught his attention.
"It's a country..." while Bulma was quite surprised by all this, Goku, as always, was thinking about food "Don't you think it's weird that a Chinese character has your name? You'd only be missing the Nyoibo, how absurd... or unbelievable, I don't know what to think anymore"
"The "power pole" (Nyoibo), I left it when I was connecting Karin's tower and Kami-sama's Lookout, but what is a country?" Sure, while China sounded tasty, a country not very much. Besides, not all unknown words had to be related to food, Goku has grown up enough to know that… maybe.
"W-what?" Naomasa was surprised after the mention of the staff, no longer knowing if she was being played for a fool, but then again, what Goku said was registered as truth by his quirk "A country? I don't even know where to begin..."
"For once, your question isn't so dumb Goku" Bulma said, less irritated than usual at Goku's ignorant questions "Detective, where we come from, as I told Sergeant Morita, there are no countries, for quite a few years now we have lived under one world government, so it's normal that Goku doesn't know... Goku, a country, is like a village or city, but much bigger " Yes, quite simplification, but necessary considering who she was talking to.
"OHHH! I get it!" Goku was proud of himself when he understood that.
"But well, truth be told this is... I don't know, unbelievable? It's one thing if we speak the same language... I guess alternate realities paralleling each other, may have similarities like language or even other parts of culture, but... Goku as a character from a story thousands of years ago in this world?" her scientific mind, was somewhat intrigued, yes, she was still somewhat alarmed at being trapped in another universe, but she couldn't deny that there were quite a few interesting things to consider" Because as Goku said, detective, he has a weapon called Nyoibo, which is a magic staff that can elongate or shrink as Goku wishes, I guess it's the same in this story, right?"
"Y-yes... one of the Monkey King's most famous weapons"
"If Goku had his staff with him, I guess it would be easy to demonstrate, but... at least his cloud came with us, if we show it to you and you see how it works, plus the pending exam for the quirk factor, it will be enough information to believe us, don't you think? Although for the cloud, we will need an open space"
"Yeah... I don't believe I'm saying this, but this is either a very elaborate and quite ridiculous conspiracy, or you're telling the truth... and truth be told I doubt a villain or anyone else, would dare attempt something as implausible but as elaborate as this, so I'm leaning towards the former, I believe you both" after saying this, he let out a big sigh, what had Toshinori gotten him into now?
"Thank you, I appreciate it... maybe I was too hard on Sergeant Morita, but to be honest, all this making me hysterical... if it weren't for the fact that I can't depend on Goku to take care of explaining all this, I don't know if I could keep my cool" She was scared, none of her adventures compared to this... yes, maybe it wasn't as dangerous as Piccolo or other dangers they faced, but what scared Bulma in this case, wasn't facing an enemy, but the possibility that they wouldn't make it back home.
"Don't worry, I understand you Miss Bulma... but now you must understand, I'm going to ask you for a big favor"
"Uh... yes, what is it?"
"You want food, don't you? Me too, I'm hungry"
"Goku..."
"This... no, Son, what I want to ask you both, is not to reveal where you both come from, or at most, not to reveal the existence of the dragon balls... It is a fact that there out are quite a few villains or unscrupulous people, who would try to obtain them... if it is true that you came with the power of these, that means that the other thing you told me is true, if they can fulfill any wish, I can't imagine what would happen if they fell into the wrong hands"
"But... detective, they are in our world... and don't forget... we have nothing in this world, papers or identification of any kind... well, Goku had none of that in our own world... but the point is the same, without any of that, it will be hard to be here while we wait for our friends to wish us back in a year... "Of course, that's only if the time flowed and worked the same way in both universes, which was perhaps what Bulma was most terrified of.
"I understand your concerns, even though the dragon balls are in your world, it doesn't mean we can rule out the possibility of someone gaining access to them... there are quite a few quirks in the world, Miss Bulma, perhaps there is one that can allow travel between dimensions, I don't know… or with the use of science, your universe can be reached... no, even if only through the dragon balls this is possible, we don't know how some people will react to this information; you could attract unwelcome attention, if this information falls into the wrong hands
Naomasa knew that All for One had been defeated by All Might... but, there were still other villains or dangerous people in the world, not to mention that no one could rule out the possibility that All for One had survived... they never found the body after all.
"I understand it's a lot to ask for you in your situation, but instead I promise I'll get you all the help we can... I know people who can procure documents for both of you, and help you with other kinds of things, like the exam you have pending... not necessarily to prove something to me, but to the other people I'll report this to"
"And food?"
"Yes... Son, and food" with a smile, the man would answer, finding it a little adorable the way the boy was eager to eat, or rather, as even despite the situation, the boy seemed to be unaffected, compared to Bulma, from which he could notice some tension and concern "Now if you'll excuse me, I'll make a call, this won't take long"
"Okay, thank you very much, who will you talk to, the government or other members of the police?" she was curious about the supposed help they would receive, so she asked.
"No, I won't be talking to the police or the government, but to heroes, Miss Bulma"
"Heroes?" now that she remembered, she had heard it before, the word heroes seemed to be something more "official" or important in this universe.
"Yes, in this world, heroes are a common thing, and I assure you that I know three in particular that will be of much help to us" he assures them with a smile, then he dialed his friend's number.
"Hello, Toshi, it's me... do you remember that favor you asked me?"
"Sure, what happened?"
"This... well, it got a little complicated, but don't worry, there won't be any charges or anything on the record for them, but I think his friend and he will need some help."
"Help? S-sure... but is everything okay? what happened? are they in danger?"
"No, they're both fine, but... it's hard to explain over the phone, but I need to meet you at UA as soon as possible, maybe somewhere private and in an open space, maybe a place they use to train quirks with access to the outside"
"At UA, why?"
"Because I need you to call Nezu too and meet us there, along with Recovery Girl, we need to do some, tests? Yes, tests..." Naomasa looked towards Goku, who was rubbing his stomach.
"Hungry..."
"Oh... and if you can or they, if you can bring some food, maybe some pizzas?" he said turning to Bulma and Goku, seeing if that was okay, though he really didn't even know if they had pizza in their world.
"Not some, minimum twenty or thirty, detective" Bulma made the suggestion.
"Huh, thirty!?
"Goku has a big appetite, can't you see he ate all that popcorn and he's still hungry."
"Is everything okay, Nao? thirty what?"
"Uh, yeah... about twenty pizzas or thirty if you can, I'll transfer the money to you"
"T-thirty? How many people are you going to invite to this secret meeting or test? And... don't worry about the money, I'll take care of it"
"Just Nezu, Recovery Girl, you, me and our two new friends... Son, that's the name of the guy who helped Midoriya, he has a big appetite apparently"
"I-I see... I understand, don't worry, I'm done talking to Midoriya, so I have time... I don't understand what you want to show us, but I trust you, see you in half an hour, although let me first call Nezu and I will send you a message to confirm"
"Excellent, thank you very much, Toshi"
"No, you're welcome my friend, besides I think I ended up getting you into something strange I guess, do I hear you somewhat confused?"
"Ha... you have no idea, Toshi, you have no idea."
"We'll see then, see you later, Nao"
"See you, Toshi, thanks again"
Concluding the call, he put his phone back in his shirt pocket.
"Everything okay?" Bulma asked
"Yes... we just need to wait for my friend to send me a message and we'll go out to UA, there we'll see the people who will be able to help you both"
"UA?"
"Is it a restaurant?" asked Goku.
"Haha, no, but don't worry, Son, we'll have some food ready for you there, so don't worry"
Seconds later, his phone would ring, thus reading a notification showing a message from Toshinori.
"That was quick, Toshi... but well, answering your question" the detective stood up and put on his coat, thus preparing to leave, and causing Bulma and Goku to stand up as well "UA is where future heroes train and learn, and well, let's just say that's where they'll find all the help we need"
CHAPTER 3, END.
I know we didn't make much progress, but even with their quirk, Tsukauchi had to be convinced that they weren't crazy or under the influence of a quirk.
I promise chapter 4 won't take as long as chapter 3, expect it in a week or two!
