Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: The Saiyan, the Wound, and the WHACK

First Half: More Kaiser Suffering

Kaiser was still on the floor.

Flat on his back. Dazed. Soul hovering above his body.

He could still feel the pillow slamming into his face.

That was not a normal pillow.

That was a weapon of mass destruction.

He groaned and sat up.

Yun Yun was ignoring him, casually petting the cub, who was still snuggled against her chest like a spoiled prince.

Kaiser's eye twitched.

That little furball had done nothing but steal his dignity since the moment he found it.

"…Oi," he muttered.

No response.

"…Oi."

Still nothing.

Kaiser's vein popped.

"…OI, YOU LITTLE SH*T, I SAVED YOUR LIFE!"

The cub yawned.

YAWNED.

Then, as if deliberately trying to humiliate him—

It lifted its tiny paw…

…and slowly pushed Kaiser's face away.

Like a peasant daring to touch a god.

Kaiser stared.

Mouth open.

Brain blank.

"…Did you just…"

Yun Yun burst out laughing.

"Oh, this is amazing," she wheezed. "I'm keeping him."

Kaiser snapped his head toward her.

"NO, YOU'RE NOT."

Yun Yun smirked.

She lifted the cub in front of her face and nuzzled her cheek against it.

The cub purred.

Like a spoiled brat.

Kaiser saw red.

His tail lashed.

His pride as a Saiyan warrior was being stomped into the dirt.

"…You know what?"

He lunged at the cub.

It jumped out of the way.

Kaiser tripped over the blanket.

His face slammed into Yun Yun's stomach.

THUD.

Yun Yun gasped.

Kaiser froze.

Slowly…

Very slowly…

He lifted his head.

His face was directly pressed against her stomach.

"…Huh."

Yun Yun's face darkened.

Kaiser blinked.

Then, very stupidly, he said—

"…Soft."

WHACK.

This time, it wasn't a pillow.

It was her fist.

Kaiser crashed into the floor.

Again.

His face throbbed.

His pride? Gone.

The cub? Purring smugly.

Yun Yun? Smirking like she just won a war.

This was, without a doubt, the worst day of his transmigrated life.

Second Half: The Wound, the Milk, and the WHACK (Again, Again)

Yun Yun was still laughing when she suddenly winced.

Kaiser, still lying on the floor, noticed immediately.

His face darkened.

"…Your wound."

Yun Yun looked down and saw red blooming on the bandages around her chest.

"…Oh."

Kaiser shot up.

He was at her side in an instant.

Yun Yun stiffened as he grabbed her shoulders.

"…Lay back."

His voice was serious.

No teasing. No smugness.

Just genuine concern.

For the first time, Yun Yun saw a different side of him.

She hesitated.

Then, she laid back down.

Kaiser gently unwrapped the bandages.

His fingers were careful. Precise.

Yun Yun felt herself relaxing.

Maybe he wasn't so bad—

Then she realized she was clinging to his arm.

Her face turned red.

But…

She didn't let go.

Kaiser didn't comment on it.

Instead, he focused on cleaning and dressing the wound again.

His touch was surprisingly gentle.

Yun Yun stared at him.

For someone who acted like an idiot 90% of the time…

He was actually being serious.

The cub, however, was not.

It had climbed onto her stomach.

And then—

It lowered its head…

…and started suckling on her.

Yun Yun froze.

Kaiser froze.

Silence.

Dead silence.

Then—

"…"

"…"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"

Yun Yun screamed and tossed the cub across the bed.

Kaiser, however…

Instead of reacting normally…

He stared at the cub.

Then at Yun Yun.

Then at the cub.

Then—

He leaned forward…

…and mimicked the cub's movement.

Yun Yun blinked.

"…Did you just—"

Before she could finish—

Kaiser pulled back, frowned, and muttered—

"…There's no milk."

WHACK.

This time, he went flying straight into the wall.

CRASH.

He slid down like a dead body.

Silence.

The cub poked its head out from the blanket.

It blinked.

Then, very slowly…

It tilted its head…

…and meowed.

Yun Yun buried her face in her hands.

"…I need a drink."

Kaiser, still on the floor, groaned.

"…I need therapy."

The cub?

It just yawned and curled back up.

Like nothing happened.
