Saiyan stowaways on the Ark

Tomat casually explained what happened on the island while he was resting in Skadi.

But such an explanation only made Skadi more confused.

"If not, I'll hang it up first. The weather's nice today."

Seeing that Skadi was not responding, Tomat prepared to pick her up again and take her to the deck to sunbathe.

"and many more."

Skadi finally reacted, stopping Tomat, and then said with a somewhat strange expression.

"I know her. What did you do to her?"

"Headbutt".

"Headbutt?"

"Yes, it's quite sturdy. I estimate it will wake up in about half an hour."

"..."

Skadi initially remained silent in response to Tomat's answer, as if engaged in a fierce internal struggle to convince herself that what the other person said was true.

After a while, he opened his eyes, staring at Tomat with his red eyes, and at the same time, he lifted the unconscious woman and placed her on his bed.

"It won't be that long, she'll wake up soon."

Skadi took a bottle of colorless liquid from the cabinet in the cabin, opened the cap, and immediately a salty smell emanated from it.

She approached the unconscious woman, and facing her pale, sleeping face with a swollen bump, poured all the liquid from the bottle onto her face in one gulp.

"Fuck-"

This is not the groaning sound of corrosive liquid being poured on skin, but rather the popping sound of bubbles when water is splashed on dry ground.

The liquid that Skadi poured out seemed to boil the moment it touched the other person's skin, churning and being absorbed into the skin.

The redness and swelling on the forehead disappeared rapidly at a visible speed, and a murmur from the throat proved that the other person's consciousness was slowly returning.

"Such amazing recovery ability, what kind of medicine is that?"

"It's not medicine, it's just that the body is craving water."

Under the watchful eyes of Tomat and Skadi, the tall woman made slight movements with her hands and feet.

—Then, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Then, with a loud thud, its feet kicked the bed, shattering it, and struck the two people staring at it from the bedside.

[Event] Beneath the Tide, Seafood abounds: Chapter Two Plan? What plan?

When she first opened her eyes, she saw a cold cabin and two figures standing beside her.

When she opened her eyes for the second time, she saw the gentle light from the overhead lamp and smelled the pungent odor of disinfectant.

what happened?

Didn't I find the organization that the other two survivors belonged to?

Then, as always, they would sneak into any place they wanted to go without being noticed, find the target they needed, and thus achieve their goal.

But why am I the one lying down?

The first time was when I lost consciousness accompanied by a severe headache, which was an extremely outrageous situation.

The second time, the pain felt like my whole body was being crushed. What was going on?

"You're awake? Captain Goredia."

The white curtain was drawn back, and the woman called Goredia then realized from the surrounding decorations and layout that this was a place similar to a medical room.

The one who came up to her and called her by her full name was Skadi.

“I can’t believe there are other deep-sea hunters still alive, but the fact that you’re standing here—or rather, lying here—is enough to prove everything. But why are you here? For ‘her’? She’s not in good condition.”

Goredia remained silent in the face of Skadi's question.

She was trying to exert herself, wanting to leave her current position just like Skadi had done on her bed before.

But her speed and strength, which she was so proud of, were completely unusable at this moment.

"What...what's wrong with my body? Why can't I exert any strength...the injuries should have healed by now!"

Graceia showed a panicked expression at the strange condition of her body. She could only lie on the hospital bed, unable to move, and did not even have the strength to lift her arm.

"I do not know either."

Skadi shook her head, looking at the other person's panicked expression, without offering any comfort or explanation.

She only mentioned the man who had been standing with her in front of Gretia and was then attacked by her.

"Oh right... I remember now, it was that man who bumped into my head. It happened before too, didn't he... didn't he pin me down on the bed and beat me up?"

Skadi's mention evoked memories in Goredia.

Strange things have been happening ever since she secretly went to Rhodes Island.

She was inexplicably discovered, and people found her wherever she went.

The attacks struck others, but the force seemed to be completely absorbed by their uniforms.

And a large group of armed personnel whose combat capabilities exceeded their original expectations...

But the most important person was the man who appeared in front of him twice and beat him unconscious.

"...No, he just punched you in the stomach and injected some kind of energy into your body. Also, thanks to you, my cabin was destroyed by the impact of your kick."

It sounded like she was complaining, but Skadi didn't show any regret.

"Energy...? Is that why I can't recover?"

"He said his energy can effectively suppress regeneration, so he will first restrain you and then knock you down so you can't move, so you won't cause any trouble."

Her explanation piqued Greta's interest, but inevitably also aroused her concern, and Skadi's explanation was not enough for her to accept the current situation.

Because her original "plan" has been completely messed up, she needs time to sort out her thoughts.

"So, what exactly do you want? You've been out of the public eye for so long, and now you're suddenly showing up. If you need to hunt something, you can just come to me directly. There's no need to sneak around. Obviously, that's not what you're looking for. Your target seems to be 'her'."

Skadi's question made the immobilized Greta hesitate, unsure whether to tell her about her plans.

If mistakes continue to occur, her "disappearance" as Skadi described will lose its meaning.

"...Iberia, Saltwind City."

Goredia uttered the name of a little-known city: Iberia, a coastal city that had long since declined due to the destruction of its fleet, and no one would bother to remember the name of such a small town.

"Ok?"

“Go there, witness everything that happens there, and you’ll understand why I’m looking for you.”

"Then you can continue lying there. I won't let you leave easily until you explain everything."

But Skadi didn't give her a chance to keep them in suspense.

Just then, another set of footsteps came from outside the medical room.

"What's your name, where you came from, where you're going, what are you doing—you're an intruder, stop being a riddle reader. If you keep this up, I'll hang you under the bridge like a dried fish. Let me tell you, the sun's been shining brightly lately."

This was the aggressive Tomat pointing and gesturing at Gretia on the sickbed.

He didn't see her as a beautiful woman who couldn't move, but rather as an intruder who had illegally entered the premises.

Regardless of gentlemanly conduct or any other principles, it was simply because she had previously caused a ruckus in the Skadi cabin and destroyed the entire room—Tomat disliked people who had enough strength but acted recklessly without regard for their surroundings.

"...What exactly are you? You're not a demon, nor are you one of us, so how can you do these things?"

"Who do you care who I am? We're asking you questions now. Didn't your teacher tell you 'don't answer questions with questions'?"

Thomas made no verbal concessions to Gladys, which subconsciously gave Gladys another idea to take root in her mind.

If the original plan cannot proceed as a result.

Let's propose a more direct solution.

"I can tell you, but... please restore my body to its original state, and then let me face you head-on."

Both of them found the request somewhat unreasonable.

Even if Greta didn't perform at her full potential, the actual difference was still too obvious.

I actually want to fight again at a time like this.

Could it be that he hit his head with a headbutt?

"Then I'll just hang you up, Miss Skadi. You don't mind if I treat your friend like this, do you?"

"Although I believe that you, Captain, will not easily say things you don't want to say, enduring the dry sun like a stranded sea monster is definitely not a pleasant thing."

Skadi did not express her attitude directly, but instead used the words that the Agorians disliked most to pressure Goredia, who seemed quite embarrassed and annoyed at this moment.

Ultimately, even though they were once companions, she couldn't place much trust in Goredia, who had suddenly appeared.

Moreover, it may involve another teammate who is not in good condition, so she needs to be even more cautious.

"Fine... I'll talk."

Originally, Goredia intended to leave behind numerous clues to guide Skadi towards her long-prepared scheme.

Investigation, communication, intuitive judgment, intuition...

This indirect method effectively conceals one's tracks and prevents premature exposure.

But now, it seems like nothing works anymore.

Because she never expected to encounter two completely unreasonable "investigators" who would use force to obtain any clues.

*Let's just say that Goredia's persuasion dice have failed miserably.

Of course, it can also be understood that both of them are players who have invested their points in physical strength, like kicking a goal.

*The energy can even destroy Majin Buu's cells, preventing him from regenerating.
