>>6154065As he thinks, you decide to ask a question to both of them. One which, while it could be irritating, may provide valuable insight. You tell yourself to not take anything Cooler says to heart, taking a deep breath then asking them both.
“So, what do you both think?” you ask Cooler and King Cold. “I've never ran a city before, what do you think of it?”
“Not bad, for a monkey.” Cooler says snarkily, but you get the feeling his 'monkey' comment is more out of obligation than anything. When the two of you spar and you're getting the better of him, he does throw it out occasionally.
“Not bad? The design is quite efficient. Immaculate, even.” King Cold says, catching both you and Cooler by surprise, turning to him. “The layout of the city, how everything is interconnected, spaced appropriately and given enough room to breathe, it's the best-designed city I've ever seen.”
“What?!” Cooler exclaims, clearly shocked by his father's praise of the city.
“I'll tell King Vegeta IV you said that, he is the one who designed the layout. All I did was make the arena bigger, and live in my home instead of taking up residence in the administrative building. Leaving it for those who work there instead.”
“King Vegeta designed this, did he? Perhaps I'll pay him a visit, once I'm done here.” King Cold answers, stroking his chin as he thinks. “However, I do think that there are a few... Flaws, in your system here.”
“Really?” you ask, then gesture up the stairs into the administrative building. “Then how about we discuss this inside? Get your thoughts down to the whole admin team, or at least those up at this hour.”
“I think that would be a good idea.” King Cold replies, the three of you making your way up the stairs. The two guards, seeing you three coming immediately move to open the building, shoving the massive double doors open into the open room. You lead the pair deeper inside, back into the office where your team gather. Reaching the door you knock twice before opening it, your signal to let them know someone important has arrived. And as the door opens, you see the half dozen weaker Saiyans about their work, all turning and freezing in place when they recognize Cooler and King Cold of all people behind you. “Seems this form is too large for the doorway. One moment.”
And in a flash he shrinks down, taking on his fourth form. The one Freeza and Cooler spend most of their time in, the sleekest of their transformations.
“That's better.” he says, walking in without having to crouch or turn sideways to enter. “Good evening, everyone. Your general has given me a tour of your city, and there are a few... Adjustments, that could be made to perhaps increase efficiency that I would like to discuss.”
