This Is Definitely Not Dragon Ball!!

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed inside the house, and soon the door was opened, revealing a figure.

It was this world's Bulma!

This Bulma was no longer young. She wore a simple shirt, and her hair was casually tied back. Her entire being bore the marks of a life filled with hardship.

Even though Yuujin knew this wasn't his Bulma, seeing her still made his heart ache inexplicably.

Her family and friends were killed by the Androids, and she had raised Trunks alone in this apocalyptic world. It must have been an unimaginably difficult and bitter experience.

"Mother, I'm back!"

"That's wonderful, Trunks, welcome back!"

Mother and son embraced each other, both clearly overjoyed and emotional.

"Yuujin, Vegeta, look! It really is another Bulma!"

With a sense of excitement, Goku exclaimed loudly.

Naturally, the elder Bulma noticed the people standing behind Trunks. She couldn't help but show a look of shock:

"Trunks, who are they?"

There was the unfamiliar, handsome man; a younger version of herself; Android 18; and even female versions of Goku and Vegeta?

Bulma suddenly felt dizzy.

"You must be the me of this world. Hello, I'm also Bulma. Pleased to meet you!"

The younger Bulma stepped forward and extended her hand toward the older Bulma.

Seeing another version of herself from a different timeline, the elder Bulma also found it novel and intriguing.

"Hel… hello," she stammered, extending a hand somewhat dazedly.

Watching his mother's reaction, Trunks chuckled silently but quickly introduced the group:

"Mother, this is Yuujin-san, Goku-san, and the other-world versions of you, father, and Android 18.

"They are friends I met in another timeline, and they've come to help us!"

In the modest room, the elder Bulma served everyone hot tea while Trunks recounted his experiences in the other timeline to his mother.

"I see. You've been through some truly incredible things."

"A female Goku and Vegeta, an Android 18 who isn't evil… And over there, I'm Yuujin-san's wife and the Queen of Earth?"

"Oh dear, I feel dizzy again."

Rubbing her temples, the elder Bulma still found it hard to believe what was happening, even with the proof right in front of her.

"What a world my time machine has sent you to!"

"You're Bulma, and Bulma is Bulma, but you're much older than our Bulma!"

Goku teased with a cheeky grin.

"Goku, don't be rude!" Yuujin scolded, lightly tapping her on the head. "Bulma-san, please don't mind her; she doesn't mean anything by it."

"It's fine. I am older, after all," the elder Bulma responded, smiling kindly.

"Even though your Goku is female, her personality is surprisingly similar to the Goku I know."

Noticing the pure nature of Goku, the elder Bulma couldn't help but feel a nostalgic warmth.

"But you don't seem old at all!" She turned to the younger Bulma, marveling at her youthful appearance.

"Well, I am the Queen of Earth in our timeline. Yuujin wished to Shenron that Goku and I would have eternal youth and immortality. So, even in ten thousand years, I'll still look the same!"

The younger Bulma spoke with a hint of pride.

"Shenron's power, huh? You're indeed a lucky woman," the elder Bulma said with a hint of admiration.

Turning to Yuujin, she added, "Yuujin-san, thank you for taking care of Trunks. Knowing that I became your wife in another timeline makes me a little envious."

She winked playfully, and Yuujin couldn't help but chuckle. Despite their vastly different life experiences, the two Bulmas shared many similarities in personality.

"Trunks is a brave young man. We all like him," Yuujin replied with a smile. "By the way, Bulma, give the supplies to Bulma-san."

"Alright!"

The younger Bulma retrieved a box filled with capsules, counted them carefully, and handed them to the elder Bulma.

"What's this?"

"These are relief supplies we brought. Enough for a few million people."

"In your world, resources must be scarce after the Androids destroyed everything. This is a small gesture from us."

Hearing this, the elder Bulma's eyes lit up with gratitude.

"Thank you so much. We truly need these supplies. I won't be shy about accepting them."

In this desolate world where Androids 17 and 18 ravaged cities and slaughtered humanity, resources were critically limited. Many people perished due to the lack of food, water, and medicine.

The supplies from Yuujin's group would undoubtedly alleviate their immediate struggles.

"Is anyone hungry? Let me prepare some food. With the supplies you brought, I can finally make a decent meal."

"Trunks, entertain our guests while I cook."

"Yes, Mother!"

"I'll help too," the younger Bulma offered.

"You? Aren't you a noble queen in your world? Do you even know how to cook?" the elder Bulma asked with some surprise.

"Don't underestimate me! I'm a genius, after all. Cooking is nothing I can't handle!"

The younger Bulma declared confidently, clenching her fist.

"Well, I consider myself a genius too and quite skilled in cooking. How about a little competition?"

"Alright, let's see who the superior Bulma is!"

Their gazes locked, sparks seemed to fly between them as their competitive spirits flared.

"I want to join too!" Goku chimed in enthusiastically.

"You can focus on eating, Goku," Yuujin quipped, making her pout.

"Alright then, let's get started," the elder Bulma said with a laugh.
