Three seconds later, his reply:

“Yamamoto,” she muttered. “Grandpa’s old research partner. The one who ‘vanished’ during the war.”

“Cute,” Bulma said. But her heart hammered.

She stood, dusted off her jumpsuit, and pressed a single capsule. The tower collapsed neatly into a cube the size of a suitcase. She tucked it into her pocket, next to the broken data chip. Bulma Adventure 4 -YamamotoDoujinshi-

Yamamoto’s hologram flickered, then smiled sadly. “You passed. The real test was never defeating them. It was surviving yourself. The data is yours. Burn it or use it. But know this: the Dragon Balls are not a toy. They are a diary. And every diary has a reader.”

“Oh, fantastic,” Bulma sighed, grabbing a compact capsule. “Nazi scientists with a ghost complex. My favorite.”

“You can’t destroy them,” the hologram laughed. “You can only complete them! Each Doujin is missing the opposite virtue. Goku’s echo needs patience. Piccolo’s needs connection. Yours… yours needs humility.” But her heart hammered

The chip contained coordinates and a single scrambled line of text: “The Dragon’s third eye is not for wishing. It is for remembering.”

“Bringing home takeout. And maybe a hug. Don’t tell anyone.”

She finally turned to her own reflection. The clock-eyed Bulma was trembling. She tucked it into her pocket, next to the broken data chip

“Humility, huh?” Bulma whispered.

“Because it’s personal,” Yamamoto hissed. “A fan-fiction of the soul. I collected three. The Echo of Goku’s reckless hunger. The Echo of Piccolo’s isolation. And the Echo of your vanity, Bulma. Your desperate need to be the smartest in any room.”

The screaming mouth slowly closed.
