The next morning, after breakfast, Yamiru hurriedly sent the two kids back home.
Goku called the Kinto-Un from the hospital window and easily jumped onto it, standing tall. He smiled innocently and said, "I really miss Grandpa a bit."
Then, he pulled the little girl from the window and onto the Kinto-Un.
"Goku, make sure to take Bulma home safely~" The man and woman beside the bed waved and smiled. "Remember to head in the direction of West City, right?"
"Yep!" Goku nodded. He and Bulma had gone to West City before to pick up a watch.
"Goodbye, Sister~" Bulma waved her little hand.
Soon, with a gesture from Goku, the Kinto-Un took off. Bulma hid behind him to shield herself from the wind. The Kinto-Un zoomed off — quickly disappearing into the sky, leaving only a small light spot behind. In the sky, Bulma asked Goku, "Hey, Goku, when we get to my house, can I research your cells again? Including your tail? The previous samples have already been destroyed." Goku was confused, "Cells? What cells?" Bulma sighed. He really was a big dummy.
Back at the Papaya Island Hospital, Yamiru let out a sigh as he watched the Kinto-Un fly off. Tights sat at the edge of the bed, lowering her head with a mischievous smile. "What's wrong?"
"I just feel like with those two little brats watching, if we're too close, it'll look weird..." Yamiru wiped his sweat.
"Are you afraid too, huh?" Tights teased him, but then the nurse who came in to change his bandages scolded them, "Please control yourselves. The patient needs rest."
Tights stuck out her tongue and stood up straight, "It's fine, he's a superman after all."
Yamiru also smiled wickedly, but Tights shot him a glare.
The nurse with a cat-ear headband narrowed her eyes, not really paying attention to the playful exchange between the couple. She quietly changed the bandages on Yamiru's body, and was surprised to open her eyes wide, "Ah, maybe you're right. He really is a superman—such serious injuries, yet he's healing so quickly! Maybe in two days he can be discharged."
After the nurse left, muttering to herself, "Ah, life is so good... Spending all day in the hospital, how am I supposed to find a boyfriend?"
In the hospital room, Yamiru and Tights high-fived lightly.
Tights wandered around the bedside, feeling like there was nothing to do. Though she could chat aimlessly with Yamiru, talking too much made her feel dry in the mouth... well, in every sense of the word. Tights then grabbed a notebook and started writing. She was a semi-professional light novel writer after all.
Thus, while Yamiru was too lazy to watch the ridiculous Tv shows on this Earth, he spent his days quietly recovering, occasionally teasing his girlfriend and enjoying some intimate moments...
Papaya Island was in a tropical zone, and the warm weather all day made Yamiru often feel drowsy with the smell of hospital disinfectant.
Occasionally, Yamiru and Tights would talk about novels.
To be honest, Tights wasn't an exceptionally skilled writer. The key was that her tastes were quite different from the mainstream.
Coincidentally, Yamiru also had different tastes.
Therefore, even in this area, they hit it off quite well.
Time passed...
At the nurse's station, the cat-eared nurse checked her watch. A colleague beside her asked, "Didn't you go change the medication for Room 302?"
"Well... they went downstairs to take a walk. I'll go later," the cat-eared nurse replied, glancing at her watch again.
After waiting another ten minutes, she pushed the cart to Yamiru's room.
But when she approached, she found the door was open, and no one was inside. The soft, yellow sunlight from the window bathed the room. It was very beautiful and warm. The nurse saw that the bed had been neatly made, and on the headboard was a sticker. She walked over and peeled it off. It revealed a cute, shy smiling face of a girl, with the words: BYEBYE
"Sigh..." The cat-eared nurse muttered. "I wish I had a boyfriend too..."

At the hospital's entrance, Yamiru and Tights walked out together, hand in hand.
Recalling what had just happened, the two exchanged a smile and whispered a few words to each other.
"Shall I take you home?" Yamiru asked.
"Isn't it still early? We just need to make it in time for my family's dinner. Let's stroll around Papaya Island first~ Also," Tights hooked her arm around Yamiru's, tugging at her clothes, "I'm all sweaty, I need a shower."
"Isn't it because you're too shy to see the nurse again? What's there to be shy about?" Yamiru teased on purpose. "A certain gentleman once said, warriors also eat, also shower, and also..."
"I'm not listening, not listening~" Tights covered her ears and shook her head, ignoring the rest of the sentence, sticking out her tongue and making a funny face. "La la la~"
The two of them walked around for a while before reaching an open area on the outskirts. Tights set down the capsule apartment, planning to shower before heading back home.
The result was that they didn't make it back to West City that night.
The next day, the capsule apartment on the outskirts of Papaya Island was taken back, replaced by a small plane. Not long after, the plane took off and sped towards West City.
---
West City, Dr. Brief's home.
The model of the small plane was on the security system's whitelist, so it smoothly landed in the large garden courtyard.
Yamiru and Tights jumped down from either side.
After retrieving the capsule, Yamiru said, "In the end, we're having breakfast instead."
"How dare you say that?" Tights wrinkled her nose and shot him a glare.
The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked into the large house. Tights asked the robotic maid where her parents were.
At that moment, Mrs. Brief walked over, holding a cup of coffee. Her golden curls were neatly styled, and her elegant, beautiful face seemed to never change with time. She saw her eldest daughter return home, accompanied by Yamiru, and smiled happily. "Tights has really grown up~"
"Did Bulma tell you?" Tights replied. "Geez. Yes, Yamiru is my boyfriend now." Tights wasn't shy about it and confidently admitted it, then asked, "Where is she? Still sleeping in?"
"No, she's been in the home lab since early this morning, seems like she's researching some cells. She's been in there ever since that handsome Goku left," Mrs. Brief answered. She then looked at Yamiru with a warm, spring-like kindness and asked, "Would you like breakfast?"
