After the party was over, Darc was taking Bulma and Arkis back home.

Arkis smiled with a very happy expression on her face because she did enjoy the later events on the said party and now was leaning on Darc.

She was actually drunk and Darc was amazed by this fact. Bulma herself was on his shoulder since she overdid it and was very drunk. So much that he had to carry her highness like this.

So what he was carrying around right now were two drunk idiots that couldn't hold their liquor. As if he was actually one to talk. He also had a slight heat from all the drinking.

He sighed deeply and concentrated to teleporting them. It was actually way harder with his mind so disturbed by other thoughts. But at some point, he succeeded and right after arriving in the bedroom of Bulma, he lay her down on the bed.

That move made her look at him and grin sheepishly. A deep crimson hue on her face. She clung her arms around his neck and wanted to pull him to herself.

"What are you doing?", he smiled at her and waited.

"Looovv....", she said slowly and slurred the words.

"Yeah, love you too." He kissed her forehead. "Now go to sleep, alright?"

She frowned. "Nooo~" She pulled him back further to herself and then looked at him with twinkling eyes. He knew what she was after.

"We can't, Bulma. Arkis is still here, you know?", he gave her as an answer and she looked over to Arkis. Then she started smiling and waved clumsily to her. "Arki. Want join?", she asked her and Arkis looked back and also started to smile.

"Can I?", she asked back and let out a cute hiccup.

"Yeees~", answered Bulma and now pulled back at Darc.

"No.", he said with a louder voice now and frowned

Bulma looked a little bit shocked at that and blew up her cheeks as if being wronged.

"No..?", asked Arkis after hearing him.

Darc only sighed and pushed Bulma into the bed so that she let go of him. Then he grabbed Arkis and also lay her down beside Bulma.

"You two sleep now. I am going to take care of some things. We will see us tomorrow again.", he said while a slight headache surfaced. To be truthful he wasn't even in the mood for sex at all.

Just like that he left the room and let those two sleep out their drunken state.

---

A little bit later Darc still sat in front of a computer and wrote something. He also looked at the messages he got from Lite.

"Urgh, I can actually feel my headache increasing.", he commented after having analyzed the documents that he had to read. The way Lite documented things had a really unique touch, to call it mildly.

Rubbing his glabella he started to think this through. ´So they found the tree of might. That was pretty fast, considering. But why is it that it is located in the eastern quadrant. Shouldn't it be in the northern one? What happened to Turles?´

Thinking a little bit more about it Darc send a reply to Lite to have the OK to travel there and retrieve the tree of might. The ones that use it should be apprehended. If they resist, lethal force can be used to get rid of them. And if anything bad should happen, he should contact Darc ASAP.

That was about everything he wrote and send to him. Then he thought it was about time to get some sleep himself. So he returned back to his own room. It has been a while since he did use this room.

Not bothering much about it he fell on the bed and fell asleep pretty fast.

The next day Darc woke up and was happy that his headache was gone. He freshened up and left his room. Then walking around he saw Hakase also being awake for a while it seems.

"Oh, Darc. Good morning.", he said and greeted him with a smile.

"Good morning to you too, Hakase. Being awake so early today?", asked Darc. He knew Dr.Briefs was actually kind of a person that was awake a little bit later since he often than not stay awake into late hours.

"I am on my way into the garden to relax. I will probably take a small nap in there. Want to join me?", he says and invites Darc to join him.

"Sure, a small relaxing nap can't hurt. Bulma isn't going to be awake so soon anyway. Yesterday was a very exhausting day after all.", agreed Darc and followed Hakase to the garden.

Arriving there he was still amazed by the colossal improvements made here. It became so much bigger than before and the animals held here are also already up and running everywhere.

A very big dino came sprinting over and roared. Reaching them he stopped with a slide and licked Darc once.

"Hey, Rex. Don't do that. I told you I don't like that.", he said to the tyrannosaurus that he knew since it was a baby dino.

Rex looked very happy to see him and then ran to a massive bone that he lay in front of Darc his feet.

"Alright, but just once. Do your best.", said Darc after touching the bone and hiding it with his instant transmission somewhere in the garden. Rex became excited and started running around the place like a madman.

These animals were all strays that Dr. Briefs collected all over earth. The only animal Darc brought here was that bird. Come to think of it. Where was that damn bird? Thinking a little about it he called it out.

"Hey, Phoenix. Are you around!?", he shouted and waited.

And soon a vermillion bird came flying over. It looks like since he was here the Phoenix did get bigger. Not by much but you could still see that he was enjoying himself here.

"Darc! You finally remember me again?", said the Phoenix and asked him at the same time. It looks like he also was somewhat cranky about being not visited much.

"Look who is talking. Are you not actually enjoying yourself a little bit too much? It seems you got even fatter than last time I saw you. So don't give me those words.", said Darc after eyeing up the bird.

"Hmm, alright I will ignore that and forgive you. And since we are talking. Did you manage to get ahold of the other avatars?", asked the bird in a haughty manner.

"Nah, no information on them yet. At least no precise ones. There are some rumors on some planets here and there but that is about it. But I think I am getting closer to the black turtle.", answered Darc.

"Well, sorry that I can't be of much help here. Mother said that every divine beast should have one avatar in this universe as its representation. But to find them will be another task on its own.

"It's alright. I will find them eventually.", said Darc.

Dr.Briefs followed the conversation and smiled. "I may have something for you, actually.", he said and looked in his pockets. "Where was it?" He searched all around his coat.

Then he pulled out a capsule "Maybe here?" he activated the capsule and a massive amount of porn mags appeared from it. "Oh, that's where I put my porn. Well, not the right capsule.", commented Hakase and collected all the stuff and put it back. Beginning his search again.

Darc only smiled wryly and waited. He got somewhat used to him being an airhead sometimes. He never would have thought airheads were geniuses but here it is. When one was thinking about it Goku was also a fighting genius and an airhead...

Also, why does he have so many porn flicks? Ms. Briefs is still looking pretty good? Oh well.

"Ah, it is actually in this pocket and already outside its capsule.", said Hakase and handed Darc a memory drive.

"There are pictures of an interesting planet with a tribal race somewhere in the data that seems to be worshipping what looks like a tigers cub. Maybe that has something to do with the divine beasts?", he said and asked at the same time.

Darc only arched his eyebrows and took the drive. "Thanks a lot, Hakase. Those are pictures from the drones I presume? I will look into this right away. Looks like I won't get a nap for now." He grinned and said his goodbyes after getting the drive and charging off to analyze it.

----

Later he got it all done and it looked like this was really a good hint on the white tiger. Darc smiled and took a mental note to go there. He should inform Arkis and Bulma that he will be gone for a while.

Going over to Bulma her room he opened the door. What he saw in front of himself let his mouth drop to the ground.

Bulma and Arkis were both naked and cuddled together in the bed.

Darc slightly blushed. This was actually not what he had in mind when he said they needed to sleep. He should have separated them. This was really something.

So he came closer and eyed them both up. Then he coughed and said aloud "GOOD MORNING!"
