Saiyan stowaways on the Ark

"Don't pull me! I can walk by myself!"

Bardak, who had been able to get a short rest after what felt like an eternity, did have much more energy than before, especially considering his previous state of exhaustion when he was unable to move.

He broke free from Tomat's grasp and walked away step by step, wanting to get away from the space filled with the smell of disinfectant.

"Actually, I still recommend that this gentleman move around with assistance. After all, the injuries you have are so serious that it would not be surprising if you died at any time. I can only say that you are incredibly strong."

Severe fatigue, malnutrition, dehydration, internal bleeding, multiple fractures throughout the body, and a complete fracture of the coccyx...

Even without in-depth diagnosis, Warfarin could get a fairly good idea of ​​Bardock's injuries just from the imaging data she had on hand.

But all the other party seemed to be showing to the outside world at this time was fatigue.

"Tch, this kind of injury is just commonplace."

Bardock was moving his shoulder, which had been broken by Tomat's karate chop, as Tomat shoved him out of the clinic from behind.

"Alright, stop being stubborn. Go change your clothes, then go to the cafeteria and get something to eat."

Meanwhile, Nian, who initiated this search for relatives, has already arranged the personnel-related procedures for Xi and Keobo to join the company. Incidentally, the former is still having a not-so-cold "sisterly cold war" because Nian had someone blow up her house, just like when they directly fought each other in the corridor before.

However, Xi is currently looking for her own private dormitory and doesn't have time to fight with her. The Kroos she brought with her was given to a Minoan blacksmith on the island.

As for the most troublesome Jingzhe from the Supervisory Department, she didn't need Nian's help in making any arrangements; she went directly to the doctor's office for a face-to-face discussion.

So at this moment, Nian is communicating with W, the Sarkaz mercenary he has hired.

However, calling it an exchange is more like bargaining.

"I've done what you asked me to do, so can you pay me now and let me go back?"

This is a rarely visited corner of Rhodes Island.

In the warehouse area piled high with cargo boxes, most of the people who usually move around here are new recruits who have recently joined the company and are doing basic transportation work within their capabilities. Most of them are naive and ignorant of the ways of the world, not only about international conflicts, but also about the affairs of Rhodes Island itself.

That's why W chose this place to talk to Nian, demand payment, and prepare to leave.

However, she wasn't worried about anyone discovering that she was the "enemy" who had once worked for the Reunion Movement.

Instead, they are worried about the more distant past, which may be forgotten.

[Main Text] Uninvited Guest: Chapter Twenty-Four - Mealtime

"This kind of clothing offers absolutely no protection...we might as well keep wearing our combat suits."

"Stop picking and choosing, it's useless now that it's rotten."

Although Bardock is not an employee of Rhodes Island, Thomas could easily obtain permission for a set of clothes if he applied using his own identity.

After speaking with the operator who greeted Bardock when he first arrived on the island, Thomas obtained a Rhodes Island operator uniform that fit Bardock's body perfectly.

However, it wasn't just Bardock himself who wasn't used to these "normal clothes"; even Tomat felt a bit out of place because Bardock's appearance had suddenly changed from what he remembered.

Fortunately, the bright red headscarf that he insisted on not taking off still allowed him to maintain his most conspicuous image.

"You're still the same as before, able to blend in with the locals wherever you go."

Bardock, now dressed in new clothes, followed Thomas toward the passageway leading to the Rhodes Island cafeteria.

Even though Bardock's memory of his recent experiences was hazy, he still recalled the strange characteristics of his fellow race after seeing Tomat skillfully communicate with the people on the Rhodes Island.

Saiyans are not good at socializing, but they are not incapable of it. At least those who are not suitable to be combatants still retain a normal level of communication skills.

However, since most of those active in the public eye are Saiyan fighters, these guys who only talk with their fists and ki blasts don't think they need to interact with others, which is why most people, even the Saiyans themselves, think they are not good at socializing.

Therefore, it is quite strange to those who know Thomas, who is a combatant but is surprisingly good at interpersonal relationships and communication.

—For Saiyans, interacting and living in harmony with races that are as weak as ants in comparison has never been an obligation or a necessity.

"Aren't you also a proponent of the principle of 'not killing indiscriminately unless required by the mission'?"

Bardock would say something, and Tomat would reply, the two of them going back and forth, using words to recall the past.

However, Bardock still couldn't clearly recall his experiences from the destruction of Planet Vegeta to his appearance on Terra. Instead, Tomat explained his time on Rhodes Island to Bardock in more detail.

This can be seen as a veiled reminder to Bardock not to accidentally demolish this place—Rhodes Island is ultimately his ally.

There were no operators walking side by side in the corridor, and their conversation, even if overheard, would sound too absurd and incomprehensible to onlookers.

Badak made no attempt to be subtle, and Tomat wasn't worried that anyone would overhear something that was significant to them and cause trouble.

"I didn't conquer this planet and become king or anything, and it doesn't seem to be under the Legion's control either. It's fine as it is. As for what you decide, it's up to you after you recover."

Thomas admitted that he has no intention of returning to the kind of life he had in the past, and also said that the stable life he has now suits him better.

"However, for the next period of time, you'll train with me while you recover from your injury. You need to adjust your condition, and I need rehabilitation. There's no one more suitable for me on this planet than you."

Tomat didn't intend to keep Bardock on Rhodes Island, but he did request that Bardock continue to receive treatment and exercise there until he was fully recovered.

In this way, Bardock wouldn't have to wander around Terra with his current body in such a harsh environment, and the possibility of him destroying Terra would be reduced. More importantly, compared to hoping for a gravity chamber that might not be built, sparring with Bardock would be a better way to restore his strength.

Despite admitting that he is content with his current life, Tomat still wants to reclaim the "full power" that is unnecessary in this environment.

Ultimately, the underlying issues in my heart have not been completely resolved.

However, he did not intend to complain about these things to Bardock, just as Bardock did not pursue the matter of "Tomat escaping by ship during the final battle on Planet Vegeta" after they met.

Thomas didn't feel entitled to complain about the ridiculous and failed plan to the man who fought to the death, or to feel regret for the sacrifices it caused.

3:00 PM, Rhode Island Second Dining Hall

This time period is well past the peak dining hours in the cafeteria. Even if there is afternoon tea time, most operators choose to eat in their dormitories or in the fragrant sanatorium courtyard.

In other words, this should be a time for the cafeteria staff to relax amidst their busy schedules...

However, the frantic chopping sounds, the constant stirring of food, and the back-and-forth running around were enough to give these employees the illusion that "today's lunch" was happening all over again.

However, this enormous amount of food consumption was mainly concentrated in front of two figures with mountains of food piled up in front of them.

"More rice!"

"Me too!"

The footsteps running back and forth came not only from the canteen staff who were busy processing ingredients, but also from the two Saiyans who quickly finished their food and grabbed the next serving.

Unlike restaurants, Rhode Island cafeterias don't have waiters serving you tea and water; all food is ordered and picked up by yourself.

However, the two of them basically skipped the ordering process and just took whatever was available.

"The '5kg super-sized meat chop meal' specially supplied to operators with giant physiques was swallowed down in just two or three bites..."

"Seasoning doesn't matter, just cook it and serve!"

"The rice is almost gone!!!"

For the employees, this should be a time to rest and recharge for the New Year's Eve celebration they will be hosting later in the evening. However, most of the employees have already been taken away by the New Year to prepare the ingredients.

These people remain in the cafeteria simply because it can't be completely empty; even outside of peak meal times, people occasionally come to eat.

But they now face even greater pressure than during peak dining hours.

As they watched the food dwindle at a visible rate in the kitchen and gradually became exhausted, the two Saiyans, munching on their food, paid no attention to the stares from the few other diners who looked at them as if they were monsters.

It appears to be bone-in meat roasted from a whole animal leg; one bite is enough to fill a meal that most people couldn't finish in one sitting, and the splattering juices spread out with a rich aroma of meat.

He spun at high speed with a motion like biting into corn, and in the blink of an eye, only a bone as thick as a forearm remained.

It snapped in two with a crack, and I chewed up the bone along with the marrow from the break and swallowed it...

For the two of them, there was no such thing as "the part outside the plate that cannot be eaten".

"Glug, glug, glug..."

The two-liter bottle of drinking water, like a small bowl of tea for rinsing the mouth before a meal, was quickly emptied as Badak's Adam's apple bobbed up and down. The food he had eaten before, from soft bread to rye bread, to porridge and rice, and the dishes that included almost all the regional flavors of Terra, was gone.

Even though he ate them in a hasty manner, Bardock let out a long sigh after drinking a large bottle of water, indicating that the food was delicious enough.

"Are these two professional mukbang streamers? But Rhodes Island treats Oripathy, not anorexia..."

A considerable number of people on Rhodes Island already know Thomas, and more than the rumors about the mission, they actually know him through the cafeteria, since his appetite and eating habits are bound to leave a deep impression.

And now there's another new face whose appetite rivals that of Tomat.

They were unsure whether they should succumb to temptation and order a meal in the cafeteria, or worry about Rhodes Island's future food rations.

"How was it? The food was pretty good, wasn't it?"

"It's alright, about 30% full, enough to last me a while without eating."

The two stopped eating, not because they were full.

It's just that the food supplies in the cafeteria are running low, and the employees who stay here are almost exhausted, which can be seen from the increasingly shorter intervals between serving the dishes.

The two of them, who only ate until they were three-tenths full, made the other diners and staff unconsciously break out in a cold sweat—Thommat had actually been more restrained when he ate here before?

"Now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, let's get down to business."

Next is the voting process.

The next volume is set to take place in Siesta. Although the main storyline has been completed, the official announcement states that the new main storyline takes place in Victoria. It's estimated that Wang Dachui will return to China and engage in various power struggles. However, the main storyline here doesn't rush to Victoria.

Let's just consider this giving Theresis some time to recover (?).

However, due to plot differences, the people who go to Siesta will definitely change. Readers can suggest some suitable characters in the comments.

[Main Text] Uninvited Guest: Chapter Twenty-Five "The Sun Family's Nanny"

The only serious matter among Saiyans is fighting—this is an unwritten consensus among the race.

The same applies to relationships between opposite sexes.

Imagine a seemingly delicate but lively and adorable female Saiyan who invites you to a secluded place and then suddenly gets very close to you, so close that you can feel each other's breath.

Don't naively assume that the other person is confessing their love to you or doing something to strengthen their race.

She might just want to fight you.

The above is Tomat's personal experience.

"Fight? No problem. I've eaten something and have some strength now. Come on, I won't let you succeed this time."
