Dragon Ball Roshi-Chapter 179 - : Helplessly Boarding the Ship

Earth, an island, the grassland near a house.

Boom!

The sudden appearance of the spherical spaceship instantly displaced an equal volume of air, creating an instantaneous whirlwind of air currents that stirred up a cloud of dust. But at the same moment, an invisible and intangible ki force driven by the wind forcefully pressed the swirling dust back to the ground. Taro released his hand, and at this time, the hatch also opened.

"Oh! We're home." The little girl, Ninn, trotted out of the spherical spaceship, a warm smile on her face, speaking in her childish voice.

Hathaway followed behind her, also coming out, smiling and saying, "Yes, we're home." She shook her head and looked around, taking a breath of the fresh air and the fragrance of grass and trees...

"Where's Dad?" Ninn walked backward around her grandfather, her hands behind her back, asking.

Wasn't the Phoenix here either? Hathaway knew that there was a connection between the bird at home and her husband. As long as her husband appeared, it would definitely cry out and fly over. But now there was no sound of it, so it was obviously not on the island. Had Tam taken it away? Hathaway thought for a moment and couldn't help but smile. With Tam's current status and position, even if he kept a large brown bear or a dinosaur by his side, it wouldn't be a big deal. The Phoenix was just a medium-to-large-sized, slightly prettier, unknown bird; what was so surprising about it?

Taro looked in a direction towards the sea and said, "He'll come. soon." He left the Phoenix on Earth to be used by Tam as a reminder and "flying vehicle". And now, the Phoenix had already sensed that he had returned to Earth in West City. He imagined that Tam was currently frantically dealing with the matters at hand, anxiously wanting to rush over.

After all, he hadn't seen his precious daughter for a month.

Taro smiled, looked down at the cute little girl who seemed to have no worries, and asked, "Tell Grandpa, did you have fun?"

Ninn grinned and said, "Yes!" She nodded vigorously, having long forgotten about her missing front tooth, and children's teeth grew quickly; many had already grown back. The little girl lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said in a low voice, "It's just that Dad didn't go with us."

"Then Ninn will ask Dad to come with us next time, okay?" Hathaway walked over, squatted down, touched the little girl's soft, seaweed-like short hair, and said softly. She looked up at her husband, of course knowing why he had taken his granddaughter away for a month. It was to make Tam miss his daughter, to make Tam finally unable to bear it and enter the spaceship.

Because with the resentment in that child's heart over these years, it probably wouldn't be easy for him to calmly sit down and talk with them as a couple. Hathaway could easily guess. If Tam still refused to go on a "trip" to space with them, her husband would definitely extend the one month to two months, three months, half a year.

With just one look, Hathaway confirmed her guess and couldn't help but reveal a helpless smile.

Taro also saw Hathaway's look but didn't read Hathaway's thoughts.

"Will Dad go with us too?" Ninn obviously hoped so. She looked expectantly at her grandmother and then looked up at her grandfather.

Hathaway said softly, "As long as Ninn tells your dad, he will definitely agree." Taro also nodded. Otherwise, why would he have left Tam hanging for a month?

Ninn was very happy. She nodded heavily, feeling like she was about to fly with joy. The little girl held her grandfather's left hand and grabbed her grandmother's hand with her right, pulling them toward the villa behind them: "When will Dad come? Let's prepare a big meal for him!"

"Child, what do you want to eat?"

"I want to eat... what we ate last time in that purple place, can we, Grandma?"

"Hmm, let me think... which planet was that? Okay, no problem."

"Thank you, Grandma!"...

Less than an hour had passed, the setting sun hadn't completely dipped below the horizon, when a figure, riding a giant bird with broad, outstretched wings, flew in from over the sea.

Who else could it be but Tam?

He was wearing a shirt and suit — his tie was probably loosened and casually discarded along the way — the flaps of his suit jacket were open, fluttering in the strong wind as the Phoenix sped through the air. He wore goggles to protect his eyes from the wind, and his hands gripped the feathers on the back of the Phoenix's neck to prevent himself from falling. His eyes were fixed intently ahead. Closer, closer, he could already see the outline of the island.

"Old man! I absolutely won't let you take Ninn away again!"

Tam said through clenched teeth.

The next day, Tam reluctantly stepped into the spherical spaceship.

At his feet followed the Phoenix, its wings folded, curiously turning its head and looking at everything inside the ship. As soon as Tam entered, the little girl, Ninn, rushed over and hugged his legs. His mother, Hathaway, was already inside the spaceship, looking at him with a silent smile. Tam's brow was furrowed, as if he was unhappy, but there was a faint, gentle smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

"Dad, there are so many fun places in the sky!" The little girl hugged her father's legs. She didn't understand the concepts of the universe and outer space, so she simply referred to it as "the sky". She tilted her little head up, her eyes sparkling, and said, "Grandpa took me and Grandma to many places. There were many strange and interesting people!" As she spoke, the little girl couldn't help but giggle.

Tam picked Ninn up, holding her under her armpits, lifting her in front of him, and asked, "You've been gone for a month. Dad thought Ninn had completely forgotten about Dad!" He deliberately put on a displeased expression, but the little girl seemed to see through his act, or perhaps his acting was just not very good. Ninn simply swung her little feet and hands in the air, giggling.

"Aang!" The Phoenix, hearing the little girl's pure laughter, seemed to become happy as well, spreading its wings and flying around inside the spaceship. Hathaway warned it, "Behave yourself. There isn't much space in here for you to mess around." The Phoenix obediently landed again, hopping around on its claws.

Tam glanced at his mother and then looked out the porthole. The spaceship door had closed. He saw Taro outside walking over, but after getting closer, he couldn't see him anymore — he had walked below the porthole. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Isn't he coming in?"

Hathaway smiled. Tam, feeling embarrassed and angry, snorted and stopped asking.

"Your father is very capable," Hathaway simply said.

Tam was about to turn back to say something when suddenly, the outside of the porthole turned pitch black... His eyes widened. What did he see? Mars! And over there, was that Neptune? Pluto? The light outside was as bright as in midsummer. Could it be direct sunlight?

They were already in space?

He remembered that his old man had the ability of Instant Transmission, and from his childhood experiences, he also had the ability to use this Instant Transmission technique to take others with him. But Tam had never imagined that this teleportation, whose principles he didn't understand, could actually bring them directly from the Earth's surface to outer space!

And... where was the person outside? Where was his old man? He was outside the spaceship? He was... in the vacuum of space?

Although Tam was a bigwig in the IT industry, he certainly didn't lack basic common sense. He understood very well the almost insurmountable difficulties a human would face trying to survive in the vacuum of space without any equipment: extremely low temperatures, zero pressure, cosmic radiation. Was his old man really still human?

Suddenly, Tam remembered a power he had as a child, a power that allowed him to survive freely underwater without needing oxygen.
