Saiyan stowaways on the Ark

But seeing Tiss's expression, Thomas immediately realized that his directness had caused the misunderstanding.

This surprised him. Even if she was a "gentle" Saiyan similar to himself, she was far more pure than him. It was unbelievable that she could show such a look.

This is also because, during the time she spent with Tomat, Tiss changed somewhat in her nature. Besides fighting, she also enjoyed other things, such as simply spending time together.

Therefore, when she had a "misunderstanding" that ordinary Saiyans wouldn't be very interested in Tomat's not-so-direct words, her inner turmoil was so intense.

Originally driven by a desire for victory and a yearning for power, their nature is now mixed with more of the shyness and admiration common to ordinary people.

In that era, as Tomat gradually became numb, Tiss also gained more humanity because of him, rather than simply stopping at being disgusted by the slaughter of the weak.

Simply put, it was the kind of wild thinking typical of puberty that was triggered by a single sentence from Thomas.

"No, no, no! It's not that I hate this, or that I don't want to do it with you, but—ah, how should I put it, it's a bit sudden, let me calm down, okay? You're too hasty!"

Tiss, panting, didn't give Thomas any chance to explain. She said Thomas was too hasty, but she was the only one who was truly panicking.

"...Okay, take a break, but...let me make myself clear first."

Thomas finally found an opportunity to explain things thoroughly once Tiss had calmed down.

"But I have one condition... that is, 'Don't hit me right after you're done talking'... Huh? Why are you taking off your clothes?"

"I...I'm all better!! Come on!!!"

"...what?"

Just as Thomas was bracing himself for a beating from an enraged Tess after he finished explaining, he was already pinned down.

That concludes the recollection.

Thomas was still at Rhodes Island's training platform, instructing the Nearl sisters on their fusion movements.

—Speaking of which, although I tried to explain it properly afterward, and after a beating, Tiss still cooperated with me to merge, but I still failed because I hadn't figured out the movements and hadn't mastered the basics of breath control.

Moreover, from our perspective at that time, even if the fusion was successful, the strength probably wouldn't be that great.

Then, not long after, that accident happened, and it was after that incident that I finally mastered breath control.

If you learn it a little earlier.

If the integration is more successful.

If the two of them had acted together at the time...

But there are no "what ifs" in life.

This comical act contains many unspoken memories for Tomat.

"Mr. Thomas?"

Margaret's calm voice startled Tomat slightly, but he smiled as if nothing had happened and said:

"Huh? Ah... I actually spaced out..."

Maria, looking utterly exhausted, said:

"Could it be... that this move is so ugly that even Mr. Tomat finds it unbearable to watch!?"

"No, I don't think the movement is that awkward. I just happened to think of something else."

Thomas replied to Maria:

"Alright, stop slacking off. Your coordination isn't very good yet. Margaret's movements are too stiff, and Maria can't maintain a steady breath. Right now, you can't even piece together the effect of a failed fusion! Adjust your breathing, correct your angles! Let's do it again!"

*I don't know who this person is, but she's a Saiyan childhood friend who was sacrificed to Tomato.

Although we see that Goku is completely ignorant about sex, and doesn't even know how to kiss, judging from Vegeta's behavior, even Saiyans know a little about these things. It's just that very few people follow the proper procedures to date, get married, and have children, like Bardock.

The protagonist only learned aura control after Tiss died. As for why it took so long, even longer than the operators who learned aura in Terra, it was simply because he had no one to guide him and had to learn from scratch, while the latter received direct guidance from the experienced protagonist.

In fact, as long as you can achieve fusion, regardless of the effect, it can be considered a success, since it means that you are only a few important details away from the final form.

If the flow of breath is obstructed at the moment of finger contact, or if the rhythm of the movements is too different, nothing will happen even if the two people finish the action.

—But Tomat didn’t know the specific details to what extent.

In other words, Tomat was also using the Nearl sisters as a means of elimination to figure out the "correct way to fuse them".

But Tomat didn't tell them these things. Instead, he made them repeat it over and over, while making adjustments that even he himself wasn't sure of, accompanied by vague instructions like "raise your hands a little higher" and "lower your legs a little lower."

To put it nicely, it's about repaying a favor; to put it bluntly, it's simply being used by Thomas as a teaching tool to eliminate incorrect options.

Apart from meals and rest, they worked day and night for two whole days, conducting over ten thousand integration training sessions.

Outsiders had no idea what happened in that semi-enclosed space. They only knew that the three of them would stay inside for most of the day, and when they came out, Maria, one of the two sisters, was always out of breath and blushing.

"Good, now you're synchronized like mirrors. The swirling air currents created when your fingers touched earlier also indicate that you're very close to success."

"Come on, once we've achieved the first fusion, true success isn't far off!"

The third day, in the afternoon.

They had heard similar things many times before, and they had already successfully mastered the simple "synchronous movements".

However, this kind of embarrassing dance, repeated again and again, caused considerable mental strain on Maria. She understood why these walls were erected, or rather, why Thomas himself was only willing to demonstrate it once.

Margaret, who seemed more serious, accepted the gesture very directly, and no matter how many times it happened, she didn't seem shy at all.

"melt!!!"

Despite wearing completely different clothes, the two were now in complete agreement in their movements.

"combine----"

The aura emanating from the body was a pale gold, just like the Originium Arts passed down through generations of the Nearl family, carrying a holy light.

It's like unintentionally gaining balance while riding a bicycle.

The movements, angles, rhythms, and breaths all seemed to coordinate with each other at a certain moment, and continued along with this feeling.

A premonition arose simultaneously in the minds of the three of them.

Have the opportunity!

This time, there really is a chance!

"ha!!!"

The two sisters' fingertips touched each other, carrying a golden aura.

At this moment, their bodies gradually lost their original form, and along with their clothes, they transformed into irregular fluctuations of light.

They transformed into two beams of light, swirling and intertwining to form a shimmering tornado, unleashing an unprecedentedly powerful aura from both of them.

"Rumble, rumble..."

The entire platform began to tremble, and some operators who had learned to sense auras were startled at that moment.

"coming!"

Even Tomat, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but lower his arms from his chest because of this huge breakthrough, staring intently at the new figure that was gradually forming in the light.

"Clap."

As the light faded, the only figure landed gracefully from mid-air.

It is the art of flying.

This is a move that even Margaret hasn't learned, let alone Maria.

The fusion brings not only the superposition and amplification of power, but also a variety of skills and moves to the fused one, which can be used easily even if they have never learned them.

The figure walked towards Tomat.

Black cloth shoes were wrapped with dark blue leggings, and loose white trousers had ribbons of the same color as the leggings tightly tied at the waist. A small black open-chested jacket had exaggerated gray-yellow velvet trim on the shoulders, and black wristbands were fitted on both arms.

This is the traditional clothing of the Metamo aliens.

Beneath her blonde hair, her calm yet untamed gaze belonged to neither Margaret nor Maria.

The two personalities ceased to exist the moment the fusion was successful. There was no Margaret, no Maria, only the fusion warriors of the Nearl family.

"Humph."

"Is this what fusion is?"

"We finally succeeded..."

"Now, I feel I possess the greatest power!"

Their voices overlapped, creating an ethereal quality as they spoke.

However, the aura she exudes has an undeniable presence.

When it becomes excited by this power, the shockwave it emits causes the entire platform to tremble like an earthquake.

"Well, Tomat? Now that you've succeeded, why don't you test your current abilities here?"

Fusion warriors have a certain characteristic, whether it is due to the fusion itself or related to the fusion user's own personality, they always become somewhat eccentric after fusion.

Just like now, completely disregarding the consequences, they want to prove their abilities.

"strength?"

Thomas asked a question in return, and an even more powerful aura burst forth from his body, but the platform did not shake more violently because of this aura; instead, it surprisingly stabilized.

"I haven't even told you that you succeeded yet."

The aura directly propelled the two merged individuals away from their original positions, causing them to slide backward several meters before regaining their footing. They then asked incredulously:

"Wh...what? Haven't you already become a single person?"

"Yes, you succeeded, but not completely."

Thomas walked towards the fusion warrior, head bowed, and continued,

"Don't you realize something's wrong?"

He frowned as he looked up at the fusion warrior who was staring at him.

"...Something's not right?"

The other person thought for a moment, then suddenly opened their eyes wide and asked.
