There might be some mistakes left but do correct and I will fix them later.
I had this and the previous chapter ready 4 days ago but forgot to publish them. 😅
This happens very frequently with me.
Because of college I am incredibly busy, there's also my main book. I was researching for the past 1 week because of all of these things I neither get time to edit this book nor write the other one.
Also I have exams this month so don't expect much from me.
Enjoy your chapter.

Once inside, Goku was surprised by the amount of brilliance that the store was emitting.
Ornaments stood out in the display cases and various types of jewels were exposed to the view of those who passed by.
At the entrance, they were instructed to put aside the bags they brought. The black-haired man obeyed without a problem.
Bulma was looking with great awe at the splendid and ostentatious jewels displayed in a glass case before her eyes.
"Look Goku, what do you think of this pendant?" asked the girl, pointing to a pendant made of amethyst with a gold chain. "Or how about this other one?" she indicated another similar pendant, but made of ruby.
Goku scratched the back of his neck at the question. What did someone like him, raised in a forest, know about jewelry and ornaments?
"I think both pendants are beautiful," Goku expressed himself, accompanying such words with a nervous smile. What else could he say?
"You think? Then I'll buy them both. Do you want something?" asked Bulma with a smile, and the black-haired man denied instantly. "I imagined it. Surely, you're looking to eat the jewels. Hahaha," Bulma added, smiling mockingly.
"But what are the jewels for?" Goku asked, blinking his eyes. He didn't understand the meaning of having jewels like Bulma did.
"They serve to make you look prettier and more beautiful," Bulma replied, striking a pose. A drop of sweat quickly appeared on Goku's head when he heard his friend's answer.
"But you're already beautiful without jewels, Bulma," Goku mentioned, not realizing the background of his words. Bulma opened her eyes.
"Really? Do you really think I'm beautiful?" Bulma questioned. In the time that she had been with Goku, she had never heard him say something like that before.
"I think so..." Goku answered, not too sure. He put his hand to the back of his head and scratched that area.
"Owws, I didn't know you had that romantic side, you had it well hidden Goku," Bulma added with a beautiful smile on her lips, hitting his friend's side with her elbow.
Bulma lifted the soles of her feet and gently kissed Goku's cheek for the third time in six months. They were friends after all... The most recent kiss took place a day ago, when they left karaoke, and the first one when Goku accompanied Bulma to college.
The boy touched the area that came into contact with Bulma's lips: her cheek. He could clearly perceive the sweet fragrance emanating from her friend, or perhaps it was just his imagination. Who really knows...
"Let's go. After this I'll buy you ice cream," Bulma said with a smile as she went to the counter to pay for the purchase she had made at the jewelry store.
"Yes!" exclaimed Goku raising his arms with joy.
"Can we also eat a little chicken, fish, rice...?" Goku began to quote and the blue-eyed woman hit her head. Why the hell had she spoken?
Both were unaware that they were being watched by two criminals, who were outside the jewelry store going unnoticed.
"What do you think, Maurice?" asked a short bald man wearing a yellow shirt and white pants.
"She's a wealthy girl," said Maurice, a tall, muscular boy who wore a red tank top along with jeans. "And the other weakling seems to be his boyfriend."
The short man said with a wicked smile, "We'll rob them no matter what," as he pulled a knife from his pocket.
Goku and Bulma were walking down an alley, both were taking the ice cream that they bought in an ice cream parlor that was in the mall. Bulma used a capsule to store the entire purchase, otherwise they had not been able to carry it until they reached Capsule Corporation.
"This ice cream is delicious!" Goku exclaimed with a smile and Bulma nodded. "Hey Bulma...you have some ice cream on your nose," he added smiling.
"Uh?" Bulma off that ice cream trail when listening to her friend. "Were you making fun of me?!" she asked with a vein on her forehead.
"I wasn't teasing you, Bulmaaa," Goku spoke comically as he got down on his knees. "But if it was just a joke..." Bulma mentioned scratching her cheek with her index finger.
They both continued chatting cordially as they walked out of the alley. Suddenly, a voice sounded behind them.
"Stop and give me all your money!"
They both saw two men with sinister smiles. One held a pistol and another a knife.
"You heard, give me all your money and those jewels that you bought a little while ago," Maurice spoke, pointing his gun in the direction of Goku.
"Who do you think you are to threaten me?!" Bulma roared, approaching the short man, who was holding a razor in his hands.
"No, Bulma!" Goku warned.
Suddenly, the man made a quick move and cut Bulma's right wrist. "That's what you get for disobeying, bitch," the short man mumbled, smiling in a machiavellian way.
"What did you call me?!" Bulma asked with a vein on her forehead, forgetting for a moment the cut on her hand.
"Bulma, are you okay?!" Goku yelled, and he frowned at the laughter of the thieves.
"Now..." Maurice could not finish because everything became dark for him. Goku hit him on the back of his neck and left him unconscious.
"Damn, now you see!" exclaimed the short man, about to brandish his razor. Goku anticipated and knocked him out, as well as Maurice.
"Are you okay, Bulma?" asked Goku, approaching her friend who was leaning against the wall of a building, trying to stop the small bleeding. "Is the baby okay?"
"Yes... I think we're both fine, it was nothing, Goku," replied Bulma with a smile.
"You're bleeding..." Goku said when he saw Bulma's hand. "Give me that ribbon," he added seriously.
Bulma handed him the ribbon with which she had been stopping the bleeding. Goku used it to tie her wrist, temporarily stopping the flow of the crimson liquid of life.
"I think that will hold up," said Goku, now smiling. "We should go back to your house..."
"Not! I'm not going to let something like that interrupt our walk, Goku," replied the girl with a frown. "So let's keep talking."
"Fine," Goku smiled nervously when he saw the face of her friend. It was better to pay attention.
Time after, they were strolling through the park. There were fewer people than before.
"For the umpteenth time, Goku," Bulma mentioned wearily, " your daughter and I are fine."
The black-haired man showed a nervous smile. Suddenly, drops of water began to fall from the darkened sky; it was beginning to rain. People began to take shelter in nearby buildings, including Goku and Bulma, who had not brought an umbrella.
"And they had warned that it would rain," Bulma mentioned, slapping her forehead. "Who would tell you not to believe in the warnings of the time?"
"Wow, it seems that we will have to wait a long time," Goku laughed with his natural smile.
"I think so," Bulma added as she gazed at the blackened sky. A storm was approaching.
They were both silent for a few moments, as if they were staring at nothing. A cold breeze swept through Bulma's body. She had no choice but to use her own arms as a coat.
"I-I'm a bit cold... would you mind hugging me for a bit?" Bulma asked, shivering slightly.
Goku smiled and replied, "Sure, no problem." Bulma clung to him, resting her head on the boy's chest. Goku felt something similar to the time Bulma kissed him a few hours ago. But this was an indescribable sensation that filled his chest.
Guided by an unknown instinct, Goku strengthened the union, surrounding Bulma's body with his arms full of strength.
"Are you hugging me?" Bulma thought with a hint of disbelief. She also felt a sensation in her chest; it was indescribable, but pleasant.
"Wow, you're hot..." Bulma whispered as she felt the warmth emanating from her friend's body.
"Well, I'm not hot," Goku explained with his usual smile and Bulma smiled. "I think now neither am I..." the girl whispered, clinging gently to Goku's body. "This feeling is magical..."
Bulma closed her eyes and entered the wonderful world of dreams, keeping a beautiful and sweet smile on her lips.
