Piccolo had feelers. They sat just above the forehead and stood forward ... this guy's antennae sat on top of his head and were almost straight up. Bulma returned to her own table ... Vegeta had taken care of her portion in the meantime. "Thank you, you glutton! I actually wanted to eat that ..." - "Please, you're welcome ...!"He gave back, still chewing on both cheeks. She sighed and sat down ..." And ... did you at least find out something helpful? "Typically, he was barely finished eating ... oh, it doesn't matter ..." Yes ... and no. They said they were seekers too ... "Piccolo looked at her inquiringly. Up until now he had actually listened quite indifferently to the bickering of the two." Nothing else? "-" No. Strange, isn't it? "That was more than strange ... that was worrying." We should go ... "Vegeta said that he was still hungry, but saw that it was better to leave. You should have a serious confrontation with these Avoid guys. They obviously knew a lot more ... "Hey, you there ... we didn't bet like that! First fill in and drink ... and then hit the bill! So ... pay or wash the plates ?! "Bulma reached into her pocket ... nothing. One by one she looked at the others questioningly ... one after the other shook their head. Well, great ...


A little later they were all in the kitchen.It was an old-fashioned kitchen ... In the middle was a large, multi-burner stove that was still fired with wood. There were numerous pots and other cooking utensils on the walls ... and there was a large tub opposite the door. It was filled with water ... and dirty dishes. Bulma washed the dishes, Vegeta dried them ... Dende was scraping something burnt off the stove that he couldn't even guess what it had been ... and Piccolo was scrubbing a large copper kettle in which he, upside down until the waist was gone. "Can you humans ... and Saiyajins ... stop eating at least ONCE ?!" Piccolo's voice sounded kind of metallic, coming from the cauldron ... Vegeta glared at him viciously ... "Oh ... stop You drank your water too! "-" Yes ... but I could have had that for FREE at every stream! "-" Smart ass ... you better be quiet, otherwise I'll make a fire under the kettle!"Bulma threw a wet dishcloth right into Vegeta's face ..." Shut up and dry off, your very best! I want to finish today ... "In a disgruntled mood, Vegeta grabbed the next clean, but still wet plate ... How humiliating! From the expression on the face of the green thing, which had just come out of the kettle, he could see that he was probably thinking the same way His cap and cloak were lying on a chair near the door ... A few beads of sweat had formed on Piccolo's forehead, and a small head of foam hung at the tip of his left feeler, which was now slowly sliding down along the feeler ... " Well, green, are you already exhausted? "-" Don't worry ... I still have enough strength to give you a rub. "This time Bulma clucked a towel over the prince's ass ..." I said you should dry yourself off! "-" It's okay, you annoying painter ... You're lucky, vegetables! "Vegeta heard something like 'Your own vegetables ...' when Piccolo disappeared with his head back into the kettle.Angry as he was, Vegeta 'tossed' the last plate roughly rudely on the pile. There was a clatter ... it clanked ... and two dozen plates were broken. Immediately the landlord stormed into the kitchen, saw the mess, and began to curse ... "What kind of idiots are you ?! Well ... The dining room needs to be cleaned again. You can do that when you're here you're done ... "And he was gone. If looks could kill ... "Vegeta, you idiot! Can't you be careful ?!" - "Shut up, vegetables!" - "Both of you shut up! If you guys were let into the kitchen ... you can't at least break the plates BEFORE I washed them ?! "This little incident had, of course, greatly improved the general mood in the kitchen ... And the prospect of having to clean for at least two or three hours afterwards did the rest "You know what ?!" Piccolo suddenly shouted ... "You two can do the rest by yourself ... at least you ate most of it!Come on, Dende ... "Piccolo threw the sponge into the rinse water and made his way to the door ... Dende looked astonished." Piccolo ... do you really mean that we ... "-" You are also welcome keep scrubbing if you enjoy it ... "That was an argument, also for Dende. He put away rags and spatulas, and wanted to follow Piccolo when ..." Wait a minute, you greens ... Woe, you run away! Then it bangs ... but violently! "Piccolo looked at Vegeta, grinned ..." I'm shaking ... but not in front of you, towel swinger! "He opened the door, let Dende go first, threw a really nasty grin at Vegeta, and then closed the door ... from the outside." I don't think so ... this ... this ... this giant caterpillar leaves us with us actually stand here on legs! I kill him ... !!! "With these words Vegeta wanted to rush to the door, but Bulma grabbed his collar ..." Oh no, sir ... You ate the most by far! I don't like it either that the two of them leave us alone ... I'll talk to Piccolo about that for a few more bars ... but I can understand him.And you, Prince, will now keep cleaning up ...! "Vegeta growled ..." I should have left it on Temm-Ra ... "


In the meantime the two Namekians had sat down on the edge of the village well ... Dende


was obviously worried. "I think that was not a good idea ... Vegeta will ..." - "Vegeta will not do anything ... Hot air, nothing else!" With these words he pulled the bucket out of the well with one hand, scooped up with it the hand out some water ... and let it flow back immediately. There between the houses ... it was those other strangers! Piccolo caught a few words from them ... '... do you think it was a good idea to tell them that we too ...' - 'If they are looking for the spirits too, then ...' - ' Don't worry, we already have one ... '-' ... they are definitely on the master's side! How grim the green one has already looked ... '-' Shh! Look, at the well ... 'Then they finally disappeared between the houses. Piccolo drew water again, and this time he drank it too.But out of the corner of his eye he was still watching the narrow passage between the houses where these people had disappeared ... Interesting. So they were actually looking for the spirits, too, and they seemed to know quite a lot about them compared to themselves. Maybe you should talk to them about it ...


The two sat at the fountain for a few more hours, in silence ... then "They should be finished slowly ... Let's have a look!" Piccolo, who was sitting cross-legged with his back against the fountain, stood up sat on the floor now stood up. They walked slowly to the door of the inn, Piccolo reached for the doorknob ... and the door was pushed open from the inside. It slammed against Piccolo's nose, he staggered backwards ... held his face. "Oh, sorry ..." The gleeful grin and the malicious undertone in his voice belied Vegeta's words. "Well wait ... you didn't do that for nothing!"He lunged at Vegeta ... surprised, and not prepared for this attack, he was hit hard. Piccolo's punch hit him in the stomach, Vegeta was thrown with a swing through the door back into the inn ... There was a bang, something broke together, then a clang ... "There you are again, you catastrophe! Now it's really enough ... to dismantle my whole dining room ... You can't wash that many plates in your whole life! Stay here, you ... you ... "That was definitely the landlord. And the one who was now soaking wet ... he must have landed in a beer barrel ... ran out the door was Vegeta ... Piccolo wrinkled his nose ... "You stink ..." - "For ... for that remark, I'll tear you to pieces later! Now run ... "Huh? Run ... Why? This general question was answered immediately and very impressively. The landlord came running out the door with a huge pitchfork in his hand ... That's why they should so run.Given the current situation, a perfectly reasonable suggestion ... which they followed suit. "Well ... honestly, Vegeta! There's only trouble with you!" - "Greener ... Shut up and run ..."


"Boys ... I think ... we ... took him off ..." Bulma was completely out of breath ... Some distance from the village they stopped and gasped, more or less. Dende and Bulma more, the other two less. They had run up one of the numerous hills surrounding the village and could now look down on it ... a small, old-fashioned village. "So you know Vegeta, you are really a nuisance!" - "Oh ... shut up, vegetables!" - "I've already told you, brush pear, if there is a vegetable here ..." She let out an angry scream both interrupt their argument ... they jerked around ... and stared straight into Bulma's angry face. "Vegeta ... Piccolo ... ... ... you ... shut up ... now ... both ... the ... shut up!" Oh, oh ... her voice was so ... so ... so dangerously calm ... "We had all the trouble because of you two idiots!One of them eats like it is not clever, and the other just runs away! I don't blame Dende ... he is the only really innocent one! But I'll teach you two behavior! "A laugh that came from a nearby bush saved Vegeta and Piccolo from Bulma's outburst ... for now.




Let's take a 'little' jump back to earth ... it wasn't that easy either. One problem was ... or maybe rather had ... Freezer. Of course, he was no longer as dangerous as he was on Namek ... he had quickly realized that he was more than weak compared to the guys here. But he was still moody ... ChiChi, too. And never before had she broken so many rolling pins and broomsticks as in the week since Freezer was on earth ... and Freezer had surely never got one on the lid so often. Well, and now it was that time again ... "Yeah ... man, the woman is worse than my grandma!"And that probably meant something ... he always spoke of his grandma with the greatest respect ... well, probably more afraid. While Freezer had big problems with ChiChi, Ice was of course very happy
