Bab 108: The Meal at the castle
Universe 7. At Gohan's house.
"A team of three. In a one versus one match. Between two random universes. That's the format for the exhibition, Right?" Gohan asked as he drew the scenarios that he just described on a whiteboard.
"Wow, you immediately understood it. As expected." Goku said while giving Gohan a thumbs up.
Pan was leaning on Goku's back at that time.
"And there is a tournament that will decide the fate of our universe right after that," Gohan asked.
Gohan seemed stressed when he said those words.
"If you stupid father didn't stir up trouble we would not be in this mess," Vegeta said.
"Hey, if I didn't say anything Zen-chan is going to destroy everything," Goku said.
"Zeno-sama. Stop calling him Zen-chan. I don't want to get destroyed because of you." Beerus said to Goku.
"But do you need to ask him about when the tournament is going to be held? You could try to stall it out as much as you can." Vegeta said to Goku.
"Just forget about that Vegeta. In the end, it's still true that he saved us." Beerus said to Vegeta.
"Even if he didn't obey my orders." Beerus still seemed angry with Goku.
"So lord Beerus. Have you decided on who will participate?" Gohan asked.
"Goku and Vegeta have already volunteered. And I think you should be in it too. Since I can't find the two brats." Beerus said.
"Dad," Gohan said as he looked at Goku.
"I would recommend you not to transform during the tournament," Gohan said.
"Huh." Goku was confused.
"I see. You want us to hide our powers until the real tournament." Vegeta said.
"And if I may want you two to not take part in this exhibition. If that is possible?" Gohan continued.
"Goku needs to participate since this thing is his idea in the first place. The other Gods would want to skin me Alive if the guy that proposed the whole thing is not participating." Beerus said.
"But I think you and Vegeta could stay out of this." Beerus continued.
"Then we need to think about the other two that we can send in place of you and Vegeta." Beerus continued.
"What about we make 17 and 18 participate?" Goku suggested.
"Since the team of 10 for the tournament is going to be filled out by the kids, Piccolo, Buu, and 21. So I doubt they would need to participate in the real tournament."
"That's a great idea. I will contact Krillin right now." Gohan said as he ran towards the nearby phone.

At that one the Planet Salada.
"Super Saiyan? I wonder if I can be one too." Caulifla said as she sat on a big chair made of wood that looked similar to a throne.
"Sis. I am sure you could be one too." The brown-hooded woman said.
Goten and the others left immediately after she was defeated by Cabba in his Super Saiyan form.
They did not kill her after she was defeated since whatever happening on planet Salada was not their problem.
It was a mercy that was bestowed by indifference.
Caulifla was not a good person as she has a fair share of blood on her resume but she is not exactly an evil and a hertless person.
She would not harm kids or people who do not fight back.
She was the reason criminals on the planet were kept in check.
The king and Salada army were usually busy trying to run errands for Champa and keeping peace in the universe.
Her death would have made things worse than it did good.

At the Castle.
"The King is waiting for you." A guard said as he opened the door to a dining room.
There are many different kinds of foods displayed inside the room on a large table.
The King was sitting on a chair that was placed near the end of the table.
A few chairs are also displayed on the right and left sides of the table. Not very far away from the place where he was sitting.
The chairs that are placed seem to be of lower quality compared to the chair that the king was sitting on.
But they still seem like luxury antiques that would fetch a fair amount of money if sold.
"Excuse us." Cabba and Trunks asked as they bowed their head at the King.
Goten, Bra and Marron didn't as they didn't want to lower their head.
"So you are the Saiyans that fought in the tournament." The king said as he looked at Goten and the others.
"Hmm. Cabba. It seems that the man who told you about the existence of Super Saiyan is not here." the King said as he realized that all the guests were teenagers and didn't have an adult in their group.
And Cabba was always praising Vegeta so the King knew enough about him to realise that he was not in the group.
"Master Vegeta is unable to make it because of an important business," Cabba replied.
"I see. That's unfortunate." The King replied.
He does not seem to be too pleased but he doesn't show it openly.
"This is Trunks. The son of Master Vegeta." Cabba said.
"And these are his friends." He continued.
Cabba was closer to Vegeta compared to Goku, Goten and others so he introduced the group by using Trunks.
"This is my sister. Bulla Briefs. And these are my friends. Son Goten and Marron." Trunks introduced everyone's name to the King.
"I assume all of you are Saiyans." The King asked without even introducing himself.
Cabba is right. This King is almost as egotistical as Vegeta. Goten thought in his mind.
Just like what Cabba said Goten also realized that the king is somewhat similar to Vegeta.
Vegeta was prideful, and egotistical and had a unique atmosphere around him that the King also possessed.
"Well three of us are hybrid Saiyans. And Marron is an earthling." Trunks replied.
He already takes control of the conversation. It's amazing how capable he becomes when Mai is not around. Bra thought as she looked at Trunks.
Goten and the others just let Trunks engage in conversation with the king as they don't feel too comfortable with treating him as someone superior to them without being his subjects.
They also realise that the food that they are eating is not as tasty as the one that they have on earth.
"I can see why Lord Beerus and Lord Champa were so obsessed with the food from earth," Marron whispered.
