Saiyan stowaways on the Ark

As Lyudmila watched the Emperor's body gradually swell, she pointed somewhat frantically.

The next instant, it seemed that the Emperor had reached the limit of inflation and popped the inflation tube inserted into his mouth with a bang. Then, like a real balloon, it poured out a large amount of gas because the "seal" had been loosened. At the same time, due to the thrust of the airflow, it flew around in the air like a headless fly, expelling gas and flying erratically.

Finally, the Emperor landed in the middle of the crowd, his feet firmly planted on the ground, his body returning to its original state. He then spun around once, pointing one finger to the sky and the other to the ground, and roared in his deep, magnetic voice:

"Great Emperor, resurrect!"

Everyone stared at the seemingly unharmed emperor, their eyes showing little surprise.

Lyudmila, with a furrowed brow and her mouth half-open in a daze, finally managed to utter a single sentence after a long while:

"Damn it, I must still be having nightmares..."

[Main Text] Siesta's Hottest Vacation: Chapter Sixty-Six - The Saiyan's Battle of Wits in Love (Not Really)

Deep in the waters far from Siesta, a long-dormant being has awakened.

The massive tremors and the energy generated by the volcano awakened it from its endless slumber.

And it is about to churn its enormous body, causing the waves of the entire world to surge backward.

Then it opened its eyes.

With eyes that can see even into the deepest part of the ocean, it scans everything around it.

Then I saw a man with an M-shaped bald head and a scarred face with a red headscarf tied around his head.

While everyone was rushing around the city, busy searching for lone survivors from every corner, Tomat did not directly participate in the search and rescue operation.

Search and rescue operations do not require a large number of personnel; they are activities that prioritize manpower.

So Tomat and Badak didn't join the other search and rescue teams, but instead were busy with other things.

"I was wondering why I hadn't seen you since then. I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful."

"Enough with the chit-chat, I was just hungry and happened to find this thing."

Legends of sea monsters are not uncommon in Terra, but they are mostly concentrated in the ocean, which is very mysterious to the Terrans.

This place is too far from the ocean, yet it has seen sightings of creatures comparable to the legendary sea monsters.

Of course, this does not refer to the water monkeys that suddenly appeared before or the giant Originium worms that are still docilely staying on the artificial island.

Those were colossal forms that the land-dwelling races of Terra had only ever seen in fantasy picture books.

Its deep blue body was far more profound than the water's reflection of the sky, and barnacles grew densely on its surface, creating a chilling sight.

Its pale lower abdomen was covered with vertical lines, while the only horizontal groove was the gaping maw that distinguished its back from its abdomen.

Its enormous wings seem to allow it to soar through the sky, while its powerful tail can cut through any storm.

This is a creature whose appearance is very similar to that of a "whale" in a fairy tale picture book.

However, it is much larger than people originally assumed.

Yet this creature, which would trigger megalophobia if it stood before you, is now peacefully floating belly-up on the waters of Siesta.

This wasn't sunbathing; it was simply a matter of losing one's life.

Logically, with such mass, this aquatic behemoth should have sunk to the seabed and become nourishment for aquatic creatures long ago, but it is still floating.

This is thanks to the large amount of floating ice beneath it and its creator, Frostnova.

However, she was only summoned suddenly—Tomat sent her a message saying he needed to talk to her, and when she looked up, she found that he had already arrived. Without saying a word, he picked her up and flew her all the way to the distant sea.

"I'll show you a big treasure."

If Tomat hadn't flown fast enough to give her a sneak peek at the enormous creature floating belly-up on the water, she would have frozen him solid while yelling "You pervert!"

Froststar is currently pacing back and forth on the whale's belly, cheeks puffed out, seemingly sulking about something.

The other two Saiyans propelled the ice floe from its tip, propelling it at a speed higher than that of a regular speedboat towards the shore of Siesta.

"Even whales on Earth only reach a maximum length of thirty meters, this guy must be close to a hundred meters..."

Thomas immediately recognized that the creature's appearance was very similar to a whale. In a world where many races are based on Earth species or fantasy creatures from Earth culture, this was not too surprising. However, its size was still very contrary to common sense.

"Didn't you say you'd never been to Earth? How do you know so much about it?"

Bardock, in turn, questioned Tomat about Earth, which Tomat had mentioned.

Thomas often told him that Terra was like Earth, but then emphasized that it shouldn't be Earth.

Bardock expressed his concern because it was Thomas who recommended that he send his son to Earth.

The location is remote, the environment is good, the native inhabitants are not strong, and most of the races look similar to Saiyans, so even Saiyans who are not strong have a very high chance of survival.

It's not that they couldn't survive in Terra's terrible environment, but from a selfish perspective, Bardock also felt a concern that wasn't typical of Saiyans.

I wouldn't have cared where my children went in the past.

Surviving is a given, dying is simply a matter of insufficient strength.

But now Bardock has more of the emotions of an ordinary person and takes the initiative to care about these things.

"I have a bit of a connection with Earth, don't mind it—oh right, I haven't asked you yet, the night before last, you were the one who ambushed me, right?"

Tomat quickly changed the subject, and now he finally had time to talk to Badak about what had happened that day.

"You have the nerve to ask me that? You interrupted someone's meal for no reason, provoked someone and then beat them up, and the other person was even a woman. Don't you have any Saiyan dignity?"

At least in Bardock's eyes that night, Tomat and Skadi's interaction was a one-sided bullying of the weak.

Thomas had repeatedly emphasized to him that he was not interested in that kind of thing.

Unable to stand by and watch, he naturally chose to teach Tomat a lesson.

"this..."

Although the blow to the back of his head caused Tomat to experience a memory lapse, he remained certain that he would never do what Bardock had suggested, no matter what.

However, having forgotten the whole story, Tomat could not recount the events in detail and could only helplessly refute Badak's words, which sounded absurd to him.

"What is all this nonsense... Do you really think I would do something like this?"

"In your current state, you might..."

Badak's response to Tomat's rebuttal was quite direct.

Having already noticed that Tomat had changed compared to the past, he no longer repeated the words he had spoken to Tomat on the first day when they parted.

"But putting that aside, you're a 'man' now, and as a man, you should set a good example. Don't do things that will make people look down on you."

Bardock abruptly changed the subject, immediately giving Tomat a meaningful smile with a hint of mockery.

"If you really don't understand, I can teach you something."

At this point, Thomas knew without even guessing that he was talking about Frostnova.

However, the events of that night, and the differences in how the two parties interact and communicate now compared to the past, inevitably lead outsiders to make these speculations.

"Don't talk nonsense. I've never done anything like that. Don't even think about it. If I really wanted to learn these things, I'd rather go to Tsukimi Yoru."

Tomat could only deny his alleged bullying of the weak, while telling Bardock, a married man, not to act like a seasoned expert in matters of the heart.

He knew very well that Gine had personally admitted that her experience with Bardock was terrible—though she still looked happy when she said it.

However, as a nation of pure-blooded warriors with iron-willed straight men, their dating experience is of absolutely no reference value.

[Main Text] Siesta's Hottest Holiday: Chapter Sixty-Seven: They're just lusting after my body

"How many more things are you hiding from me?"

"Oh, this..."

On the way to Siesta City, Frostnova's questions about Tomat outweighed her curiosity about the enormous creature.

Although more than a dozen hours had passed since Tomat, in his Great Ape form, revealed his identity during the volcanic eruption, Frostnova had not had a chance to give Tomat a proper explanation due to her busy schedule.

She stood on a slightly higher spot, watching Tomat, who was pushing the giant beast along with Bardock at the tail. Her hands were on her hips, and she exuded a chilling aura.

I had initially thought that Thomas was planning to take her to a secluded place to be honest with her, but it turned out to be about something unrelated—when she asked these questions now, even a fool could hear the dissatisfaction in her tone.

"Heh." Bardock chuckled as he saw Tomat being interrogated by Frostnova, and said with a hint of smugness, "Kid, are you any good or not? When I was with Gine, she never doubted me."

Bardock, holding what he remembered as a harmonious marital relationship relative to Saiyans, mocked Tomat, who was momentarily speechless.

"You fucking...do you really think I don't know where Darles came from?"

Although somewhat surprised that Bardock would bring up his own romantic experiences so many times, Tomat still ruthlessly refuted Bardock's smugness with the "dirt" he knew.

"Hey! Do you have any evidence?"

Badak also refused to acknowledge the "Dalles" he mentioned.

"That face of yours dares to ask me for evidence? If I hadn't covered for you, you'd be in deep trouble if that kid had even glanced at Gine's side when he bought meat."

Tomat had also seized on one of Bardock's few weaknesses, making him hesitant to retaliate easily, to the point that he completely forgot that Frostnova was still waiting for his reply.

"Stop arguing amongst yourselves and answer my question."

A gust of cold air hit Tomat's head, freezing his spiky hair. After a moment, he said somewhat reluctantly:

"In short, it's what you think, just don't spread it around."

After indirectly acknowledging this incredible fact, Tomat, as if to end the topic, suddenly accelerated and pushed hard, causing Frostnova, who was standing on the giant beast's belly, to stumble and slip off, landing on the ice floe she had created, at Tomat's feet.

"Do the doctors know?"

After awkwardly but elegantly patting her clothes and getting up, Frostnova's first question was whether anyone else knew about this.

Bardock, on the other hand, goes without saying. Although Frostnova doesn't know much about Bardock, she knows that he is a fellow clansman with whom Tomat had a good relationship in the past, and he should know this as well—perhaps he can change in the same way.

However, Frostnova is currently more concerned about Tomat's own situation.

She thought he had already confessed a lot that night, but she didn't expect that he had hidden even more secrets.

But this time she didn't insist that Tomat provide an explanation.

After all, she wanted Thomas to resolve his inner conflict, and a secret isn't necessarily a conflict; it's just a matter of privacy.

Therefore, Frostnova's first question was whether anyone else knew, rather than "what exactly is going on with the transformation into a giant ape," or rather, she was fixated on the fact that "the other party is hiding such a major secret."

"The Doctor and the others don't know... Oh, Amiya found out once. She can read minds, you know, but she kept it a secret. Otherwise, given the Doctor's personality, wouldn't he have been giving me all sorts of crazy hints?"
