DB: Legendary Super Saiyan Bloodline at the Start-Chapter 46: Thank Goodness, It Was Just a Scare
Chapter 46 - Thank Goodness, It Was Just a Scare
"It really is you, Cado!"
"Where the hell did you go? Do you have any idea how worried I was about you?"
Seeing that familiar face, Bulma burst into tears the moment she confirmed it was truly Cado.
She threw herself into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably while grumbling about all the trouble he'd caused her.
At that moment, Cado was completely dumbfounded.
He had no idea what was happening.
"Is it really you, Bulma..."
Cado shook himself out of his daze and asked hesitantly.
You couldn't really blame him—this world seemed to have changed way too much.
It was completely different from what he remembered.
"Besides me... who else would it be!"
"And you have the nerve to come back! You should've just stayed lost out there!"
Bulma clung to Cado tightly, sobbing as she spoke.
Hearing her response, Cado finally confirmed:
This really was his Bulma.
Because in any other timeline, there wouldn't even be a Cado.
"I'm sorry... Bulma. I had to go to the future for some things. I didn't have time to say goodbye... I'm really sorry..."
Now sure that it was her, Cado apologized sincerely.
"I know, I know... Krillin told me everything."
"But even knowing that, I was still worried! You were gone for so long! What if you never came back?"
"What was I supposed to do then?"
Bulma's heart had softened a little after hearing his apology, but the tears still flowed uncontrollably.
It was like she needed to completely vent all the fear and anxiety she'd bottled up.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
Cado spoke with deep guilt.
He had missed Bulma so much too, but he hadn't expected to be away for so long.
He was truly apologetic from the bottom of his heart.
Still, guilt or no guilt, some things needed to be made clear.
After crying for a while, Bulma finally began to calm down.
The tear tracks on her face made her look heartbreakingly beautiful.
"Bulma, your stomach..."
Seeing that her emotions had settled, Cado finally asked the question that had been bothering him.
The real reason he'd thought he'd found the wrong Bulma was because of her obviously pregnant belly.
He couldn't help but panic internally—
'Don't tell me...'
The more Cado thought about it, the more nervous he got.
He could practically feel a beam of light shining down on him—what color it was, he wasn't too sure yet.
Bulma released him and wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes.
A happy, gentle smile slowly spread across her face.
"You're going to be a father!"
Bulma said cheerfully, rubbing her rounded belly lovingly with both hands.Her eyes were full of motherly warmth.
"Wait... Bulma, when did this happen? I don't really remember..."
Cado scratched his nose awkwardly, asking cautiously.
He didn't mean he didn't believe her—
It was just... this kind of thing, it was better to be absolutely sure!
"Hmph! I heard men forget everything once they pull their pants back up! Looks like it's true!"
Bulma snorted coldly in a spoiled, tsundere way.
How dare he ask her like he didn't know, after doing this to her!
"Uh... well... hehe... I really can't remember. When exactly was it?"
Cado scratched his head sheepishly.
Seeing how big her belly was, it obviously wasn't a recent thing.
If it was recent... well, that would be very bad.
"I'll give you a hint. I've been pregnant for over seven months already."
Bulma frowned slightly, her tone a little unhappy.
"Seven... seven months?!"
Cado desperately racked his brain.
Seven months ago...
That was right after he arrived in the future.
Going back a little further—
It was when he had just met Trunks.
Before that—
He fought King Cold...
And before that—
He was at Bulma's house, and they had...
"Oh, it was right before I left!"
Cado finally realized, as if the clouds in his mind had cleared.
Everything made sense now.
"You're asking so many questions... you weren't thinking the child wasn't yours, were you?"
Bulma said suspiciously.
She was incredibly smart—
From how detailed Cado's questions were, she could easily guess what he was thinking.
"My love, don't overthink it! I would never think that!"
"Please believe me! I'm absolutely not that kind of person!"
Cado swore up and down.
Good grief—this kind of thing, you couldn't just randomly admit suspicion.
Otherwise, your whole family could end up in ruins!
But inside, he was beyond thrilled.
He was going to be a father!
The joy of it hit him like a flood.
"Hmph, you'd better mean it..."
Bulma snorted, still pretending to be suspicious.
But deep down, she understood.
She was a reasonable woman, after all.
Right now, she was just giving Cado a little scare.
"I absolutely mean it!"
Cado pounded his chest in assurance, and gently placed his hand on Bulma's belly.
Tenderly, he stroked where his child was growing.
Though Bulma's expression stayed cool, she didn't resist his touch.
"My love, you know what?"
"In the future, I met another you."
"That Bulma lived such a hard life... she was always facing danger."
"When I first saw her, I felt so heartbroken. She was so thin and worn out... her beautiful face had lines on it, and she looked so exhausted."
Cado quietly recounted everything that had happened in the future.
Bulma listened in silence, taking in his every word.
"The moment I saw her, all I could think about was you. I swore to myself—I wouldn't let you ever become like that."
"That world didn't have me, but this one does!"
"From that day on, I promised I'd never let anything hurt you, not even a little bit!"
Cado looked up, his eyes filled with fiery determination.
He had seen what could happen.
He would never let that future repeat itself.
Bulma was deeply moved by his words.
Before, Cado had been a blunt, steel-hearted man.
He never used to say such things.
But now...
Bulma could see he had truly matured through all he'd been through.
"Alright, then I'll be watching to see how well you do."
Bulma said with a small smile.
All her earlier grievances had completely melted away.
"Don't worry! When Cado says something, he means it!"
Cado said seriously.
After clearing up the misunderstanding, the two shared a warm and intimate moment.
Unfortunately, with Bulma being pregnant, they couldn't get too intimate.
Which left Cado feeling extremely regretful.
After holding back for so many months, it turned out he still couldn't do anything...
It seemed he'd have to rely on "Ms. Right Hand" for the next two months...
"Oh right, Cado, I almost forgot to tell you."
"The Androids appeared earlier than expected—Krillin and the others said so."
"Plus, a monster showed up that's been killing people left and right—it's all over the news."
"Goku, Piccolo, and the others have already been defeated several times."
"Do you want to go help them?"
Bulma suddenly remembered this and gently pulled away from Cado, bringing up the situation.
