Chapter 27: Chapter 27
"Okay, but I need to use a wish later!"
Katakana looked at Piccolo and spoke bluntly.
Since he had personally destroyed Cell and saved the entire Earth, asking for a wish wasn't excessive at all. In fact, even asking for three wishes wouldn't be too much.
But for Katakana, one wish was enough—anything more would be unnecessary.
"Of course, Mr. Katakana, don't worry!"
"After all, you are the great hero of Earth..."
After saying this, Piccolo placed the seven Dragon Balls, which had already been gathered, on the ground and began summoning Shenron.
Suddenly, the sky darkened, and a massive green Shenron slowly emerged from the clouds.
Due to Dende's modifications, the current Shenron could now grant three wishes instead of just one.
The first two wishes were naturally used to revive all the humans who had died and restore the parts of the Earth that had been destroyed.
When it came to the third wish, all the Z-Fighters turned to look at Katakana.
They were all curious—what kind of wish would someone as powerful as Katakana make?
Even 18 was staring at him expectantly. She also wanted to see what kind of wish this strong man needed Shenron to fulfill.
"Speak your final wish!"
Shenron's glowing red eyes fixed on Katakana.
"Remove the bombs inside Android 17 and Android 18!"
Katakana spoke seriously.
"What…? Remove the bombs inside us?"
Android 18 was stunned for a moment. She had never expected that his wish would be this.
At that moment, her feelings toward Katakana changed.
Because of his actions, a warm feeling spread through her heart.
Shenron, efficient as always, quickly granted Katakana's wish.
Although he couldn't turn Android 17 and Android 18 into normal humans, removing the bombs inside them was a simple task.
As soon as the bombs were cleared, Android 17 and Android 18 felt an unexpected sense of relief.
Even though the bombs hadn't been a constant threat, the fact that they were inside their bodies always carried a risk. If one had suddenly exploded, even Katakana might not have been able to save them.
"It looks like my brother-in-law is really reliable!"
"Sis, now that you have a brother-in-law to take care of you, I can leave with peace of mind!"
Android 17 looked at his sister, Android 18, and smiled.
Originally, Android 17 had planned to stick around a little longer to observe Katakana and see if he was trustworthy.
But now, he realized that his worries had been unnecessary.
Katakana was not only incredibly strong but also genuinely cared about Android 18.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have used his wish just now to remove the bombs from their bodies.
Since that was the case, Android 17 felt reassured.
Katakana was powerful and protective, which meant his sister would no longer have to suffer in the future.
"Leave? What do you mean, Android 17?"
Android 18 panicked slightly. She didn't understand why her brother suddenly wanted to leave.
"Don't worry, sis. I just want to live my own life. Now that you have a brother-in-law to accompany you, and most importantly, he's incredibly strong, you won't have to struggle anymore."
Android 17 smiled at his sister.
"But… but…"
"Have you really thought this through, Android 17…?"
Android 18 bit her lip. She understood his desire to live freely, and she even agreed with it.
But now that he was actually about to leave, she couldn't help feeling a little lost.
"Yeah!"
"I'm going to live the life I want—find a quiet, uninhabited island and farm."
After saying this, Android 17 turned around and waved.
"Brother-in-law, take good care of my sister! Otherwise, I won't let you off!"
With that, Android 17 transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the distance.
" Android 17 is gone..."
Watching her brother leave, Android 18 felt a pang of sadness.
"Yes, but you don't need to worry too much. Everyone has their own path in life, and it can't be forced."
"Android 17 has made his choice, and we should support him!"
Katakana gently placed a hand on Android 18's shoulder and spoke softly.
"…Yeah, I understand!"
Feeling Katakana's warmth, 18 slowly nodded.
He was right—she should support her brother's decision.
And honestly, there was nothing wrong with farming and raising a family.

"Angel Power?!"
Hearing the system's voice in his mind, Katakana was momentarily stunned.
10% Angel Power!
Although 10% didn't sound like much, it was actually an incredible amount.
Even a fraction of an Angel's power could bring about a massive transformation.
His training speed would skyrocket, and even Ultra Instinct—something normally only learned through Angel training—would become significantly easier to master!
