Saiyan stowaways on the Ark

Thomas recalled what happened on Rhodes Island, then stated with certainty that only a very few people knew his secret.

"What's there to hide?"

When Bardock heard that the two were only talking about the giant ape, he shrugged with a hint of disappointment, showing his disdain for Tomat's act of hiding his abilities.

"You always overthink things and then waste a lot of energy making things so complicated."

He commented on Tomat's behavior, then consciously left the small group of three, voluntarily jumping onto the giant beast's body, leaving Frostnova and Tomat below.

"When I want to solve a problem simply and directly, I don't have enough power. I'm just carrying my old habits into the present."

These words were spoken to both Bardock and Frostnova.

Even though Froststar didn't even bother to ask the so-called reason.

"But it does reduce a lot of trouble. If someone knew that your power was far more than what was known on the surface, and realized that you were not just a source of information for the giant ape, then the person who noticed your identity or ability would definitely take action."

Froststar also discovered a deeper reason.

This aligns with what Tomat previously described as a desire for a peaceful life after experiencing so much.

"Even if they are not your match, they will bring you a lot of trouble. Those who are afraid of you will try to get rid of you, while those who covet you will do everything they can to win you over."

Even a small company that occasionally acquires ancient technology will be fought over by various factions, let alone the power that could blow the entire Terra into the sky.

Approaching her with various motives, even Frostnova herself felt quite uncomfortable.

Assassins, flatterers, and deceivers.

Being surrounded by these people means you're destined to never live a normal life.

Frostnova was fully aware of what Tomat, who had been disturbed, would do.

A person who maintains restraint even when possessing great power in daily life will not hesitate to emphasize through their actions that "they are the ones who decide how to use this power" when faced with assassination attempts.

The Reunion Movement and Chernobyl are the best examples.

Perhaps he would feel guilty for those who were unwittingly involved in his actions, just as he would feel resentful for hurting others in the past because he was unwilling to give orders.

But this doesn't mean he'll abandon violent methods to silence those who come to him.

"That's right. If this gets out, there will be plenty of people who want me, and you won't have a chance."

"What nonsense are you spouting? Who would like a hairy gorilla!"

Tomat's flippant response earned him a punch from Frostnova, who was both embarrassed and annoyed.

However, the latter knew very well that when it came to that, Tomat wouldn't be in the mood for jokes.

He might actually become an invincible enemy, not a "sinner" who is guilty of possessing a treasure, as someone has speculated somewhat inaccurately.

Kal'tsit's eyelid twitched for no apparent reason.

This high-ranking official at Rhode Island, who was regarded as a medical authority, actually believed in things like so-called "omens" quite surprisingly.

However, Kal'tsit is currently unaware of the specific form in which this omen, signifying impending misfortune, will manifest.

Perhaps it will be the next moment, or perhaps it will be after wandering for who knows how many years.

[Main Text] Siesta's Hottest Holiday: Chapter Sixty-Eight: Whales are so cute, how can you eat them?

The salty, fishy smell carried by the sea breeze alerted the Agor people who were guarding the coast.

But this only applies to a very small portion of them.

For example, there was a swordsman and a narcotics maker from Iberia, and several celebrities who were chatting with him beside him—the musicians of "Sunset Gone By".

The former is Thorn, a guard operator from Rhodes Island. He is not a fanatical music lover, but now he is surrounded by a popular band. If other fans saw this, they would definitely be furious.

Several musicians who did not evacuate with the crowd appeared silently after the disaster, strolling through the ravaged city with various expressions. They eventually met Thorn, who was staring blankly at the "sea," and began to speak in words that were difficult for others to understand.

It was a song long forgotten by the Agorians, and when it was sung, it seemed as if even this thin "sea" was echoing it, as if trying to pull the thorny consciousness into its depths, tempting it to return to the embrace of the sea.

However, this was all an interlude that occurred before they both asked about the salty smell from the real sea.

"I don't know what your purpose is in contacting me, but this thing is obviously something that has surprised you as well."

Thorn coldly gazed toward the source of the smell.

The enormous Agor sea monster on the ice floes is riding the waves at an incredible speed, approaching the coastline.

The smell indicated that it came from that dangerous sea.

The fact that it could appear here suggests that the waters of Siesta may indeed have had a secret passage connecting it to the real ocean.

The strange posture that made the Agorians instinctively feel that this creature was definitely not a benevolent one.

But it doesn't matter anyway.

Anyway, it's already dead.

Although there is still some distance, it is not difficult to determine whether the other party is dead or alive.

The four young female musicians from Agor also displayed different expressions.

Some people grinned excitedly at its corpse, while others showed shock or confusion, and some even looked fearful.

The reason they developed such feelings was largely due to their understanding of the deep sea, which was far greater than that of the land-dwelling races of Terra, and even most of the Agor people.

“‘Rank’...it’s probably already at the higher level.”

Words that were incomprehensible yet clearly came from their mouths, words that suggested they knew the inside story.

However, even though Thorn heard all this, he didn't intend to ask any further questions.

He was only using his already wasted vacation time for the search and rescue mission, and his decision to stay because he noticed something unusual about the sea was already a dereliction of duty.

Thorn himself had no interest in causing any further trouble for these fellow musicians.

The behemoth's body moved at high speed across the water, creating waves. The surging tide and splashing spray gradually soaked the beach where Thorn and the others were.

However, just as the giant beast was about to rush ashore, it turned around, its white belly rolled up, and its tail faced the shore.

After a close call that created a ripple effect, a figure named Carter leaped off the giant beast's body.

That was Frostnova, who was helping with the transport. She looked at Tomat and Bardock, who were each holding onto one of their tail fins and pulling them ashore like surfboards, and asked the most important question—

Why are you catching it?

Frostnova was taken along to help without knowing anything about the situation.

We chatted a bit on the other end, mostly about Tomat, but there was almost no emotional exchange with even a hint of expectation.

Tomat remained unpredictable, while Frostnova often found herself caught in a dilemma—Bardock, standing nearby, felt they still had a long way to go.

It wasn't until she reached the shore that Frostnova realized how perplexing this matter was, perhaps no less so than the idea that Tomat was a giant ape.

The only difference is that when he was capturing the giant beast, he wasn't seen by a group of people like the giant ape.

However, after watching them easily pull the hundred-meter-long behemoth to the shore, it was obvious to outsiders who had dealt with this colossal creature, even without it being explicitly stated.

"Eat."

Then Tomat and Bardock gave Frostnova an answer that wasn't entirely unexpected.

It sounds outrageous, but it becomes somewhat convincing in their mouths.

"Although the city wasn't buried, it was utterly destroyed. The food street and everything else are ruined. With so many mouths to feed, we can't rely on the little bit left in Rhodes Island and this city to fill their stomachs."

However, Thomas then offered a more plausible explanation, but even with a reasonable motive, the behavior itself was still excessive.

Ostensibly, they were collecting food, but in reality, they somehow managed to hunt down a monster-like creature.

Only some of the Rhodes Island members were somewhat accustomed to their way of doing things and did not react with excessive surprise.

"This is no ordinary fish..."

Even though he had seen or heard of similar things, Thorn immediately forgot about the search he was supposed to be doing and stepped forward to the body of the Agor behemoth, stroking its solid, cold, and rough skin.

It has no scales, nor is it slimy skin.

This texture is closer to...

"Because it wasn't originally a scaly animal, but a mammal."

A deep-sea hunter followed the scent to this place and explained the mystery of the thorns—Skadi glanced meaningfully at her few kin who were disappearing into the sunset, but did not linger for long. Although she showed an expression that she wanted to speak, she eventually walked up to the giant beast.

Starting from the head, place your palm on its skin and slowly walk along its lines towards the tail.

“‘Whale’ actually turned into this form...and then it was hunted and killed.”

Skadi's tone carried a hint of helplessness and sorrow.

Finally, after circling around the entire area, she stopped near the head and stroked the tightly closed giant mouth.

He turned his gaze to the others present and spoke earnestly:

"Can we make a dish out of tongue too?"

The number of recommendation votes exceeded 10,000, and then I happened to receive a recommendation.

I'm thinking about whether to try setting up a bounty, I've never done it before.

The mysterious scene of thorns by the sea, added during the rerun of "Heart of Surging Flame," also uses the storyline to suggest a connection between the fleeting sunset characters and the deep sea, as well as evil gods.

*In the official lore, Gine works in the shopping district on Planet Vegeta (although it looks like she's handling logistical supplies).

Orcas will eat other whales; in some areas, orcas will even eat only the tongues or livers of humpback whales.

P.S.: I oppose commercial whaling, but whaling for disaster relief is perfectly acceptable.

"Hey, I heard someone mention 'cook'?"

"Nobody mentioned this... You really think of yourself as that kind of person?"

Before more people noticed the giant beast on the beach and approached, Nian seemed to have been observing the area for a long time, or as if it had descended from the sky and landed on the beast's body at the perfect moment.
