#373 - Return! Reunion! Seventeen years!

at the same time.

Inside the time tunnel.

Since leaving the super-time and space world, Talot has quickened his pace, following the guidance of the mark and moving towards the target direction.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time had passed, Talot appeared outside the marked space-time world.

"Finally, we're back! Salari, Bulma, Talora, Talos, Aunt Gine, Uncle Bardock, Raditz, Son Goku, everyone..."

Standing here, Talot's mind was filled with longing.

Thinking back to when I left, it seemed like it was just the moment before.

Not long after, a figure stepped out of the crack and stood between heaven and earth.

The time and space tunnel quickly disappeared and turned into nothing, as if it had never appeared.

Back on Earth, it was daytime. Talot looked down and took in everything.

Although it is more or less different and the estate is larger, it is still a familiar home, especially everything around the main house, which has not changed.

Sensing the breath, his mind instantly explored everything he wanted to know.

I landed beside the garden pond of the main house and smelled the familiar scent. Even the fragrance of flowers brought by the breeze was the smell of home.

This is something that cannot be felt in other time and space worlds.

Strolling towards the main house, Talot felt everything around him with his heart, and also took this opportunity to gain an epiphany, which elevated his state of mind to a higher level.

Before he knew it, he arrived at the main house and Talot pushed the door open as usual.

Because there was no noise, no one noticed it at first.

Bulma and Salari were sitting at the tea table in the living room, talking to each other, completely unaware that the person they were dreaming about had returned and was looking at them.

Talot just stood there quietly, looking at them, his eyes slightly moist and his throat seemed to be choked by something. He obviously had a lot to say, but at this moment, it was stuck in his throat and he didn't know what to say.

I'm back?

Have I kept you waiting for a long time?

Or, various explanations?

Talot was filled with guilt and longing for the two women.

"Salari..."

"Bulma..."

After thinking for a long time, Talot called out the names of the two women.

The two people who heard the call were stunned, their bodies stiffened, and the hands that were holding the teacups also stopped.

"Really? I seem to be starting to hear voices."

"No, I think I heard it too, Bulma."

The two women said something to each other, then slowly turned around and looked towards the door.

There was a flash of disbelief in their eyes. At this moment, the two women seemed to think they were dazzled and rubbed their eyes desperately with their hands.

Until they were sure that it was Talot who had returned, the emotions hidden deep in their hearts suddenly burst out.

Surprise, complaint, pain...

At this moment, everything turned into tears.

Salari stood up first, walked quickly to Talot, then stopped and confirmed again. After Talot said "I'm back" again, she exploded uncontrollably.

She threw herself into Talot's arms and began to vent her emotions desperately.

Talot hugged Salari tightly and also expressed his feelings.

It was not until a long time had passed that Salari felt better and calmed down.

She was easy to appease, but Bulma was not so easy to fool.

At this time, Bulma was still standing there, crying inconsolably, just watching Talot and Salari hugging each other.

In fact, she wanted to, and was even a little jealous, but it was indeed Salari who took the initiative to go over, and she didn't react at the moment, so she just watched until now.

Bulma had been accumulating negative emotions for seventeen years, so she would not hate Tarot. However, as a woman, even if she thought so in her heart, she still pretended to be angry on the surface.

"Bulma, I'm back." After letting go of Salari, Tarot took her hand and walked in front of Bulma.

He knew that Bulma was strong, so she wouldn't show her vulnerable side easily.

Looking at her husband so close, Bulma finally couldn't hold back any longer and threw herself into Talot's arms.

Unlike Salari, Bulma cried and beat Talot's chest.

Talot just felt it quietly and took Bulma's words to heart.

"Asshole, asshole, asshole, asshole. After so many years, why did you come back only now?! Do you know how difficult it has been for us in the past seventeen years!... Do you know how painful it is for us to think that you might not be able to come back because of danger..."

Talot hugged Bulma tightly, and at the same time, he saw Salari beside him still with tears in her eyes, so he used his other hand to hold her in his arms.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault! I shouldn't have lingered in other time and space, I should have come back earlier. I didn't expect that I would be away for seventeen years..." Talot was shocked, it was hard to imagine that Salari and Bulma had waited for him for seventeen years.

He didn't feel the passage of time at first, because they would not age and remained in their best years.

After calculating the time in his mind, Talot felt a little numb.

Who would have thought that it is already the era of Majin Buu.

A very long time passed.

Salari quieted down, and so did Bulma.

After the negative emotions have completely erupted, what is left is full of love.

Sitting down on the sofa, Talot told them everything he had experienced. Although many things were not explained in full, he at least told them the whole process.

Even the story of Bulma and No. 18 in another world of time and space was told.

Talot knew that now was not the time to say it, but he had to say it. If he concealed it and waited until later, it might cause harsh criticism from Salari and Bulma.

Fortunately, nothing happened that Talot didn't want to see.

Bulma and No. 18 from another time and space world were quickly recognized by Salari and Bulma.

Especially between the two Bulmas, there is some resonance. In order to better distinguish them in the future, Bulma from the artificial human time and space took the initiative to change her name to Bulma, so that there will be no confusion in the future.

As for No. 18, because she is an artificial human, although she knows the development of the world over there, there have also been artificial human incidents in the past of this time and space world.

The most important thing is that No. 17 and No. 18 are both alive. If we meet them in the future, we have to make it clear.

"Okay, that's about what I've been through. Now, who among you can tell me what happened on Earth in recent years?" He opened his heart without hiding anything, and in return he gained the trust and forgiveness of Salari and Bulma.

"A lot of things have indeed happened on Earth during these seventeen years. The one I just mentioned was the outbreak of the android incident seven years ago..." As Bulma began to explain, Talot listened carefully without interrupting.

Salari supplemented on the side, and the two women did their best to explain the overall process of the past seventeen years.

"I see. So the main change is the return of Uncle Bardock seven years ago, and then the android incident broke out. I was surprised. I didn't expect there would be a Cell who devours his own kind... Fortunately, even without me, you managed to resolve this crisis. I can see from your strength, Salari, that you have been working hard to practice over the years." Talot said with emotion.

Just by perception, Talot could be sure that the normal combat power of the Salari had reached 100 billion points.

This is 100 billion!

Even though he is far inferior to what he is now, this is because they have become stronger with the help of their own strength after he became a variable in this time and space.

Think about it, when I left, the normal combat power of the Salari was only 90 million points. Although there were signs of breaking 100 million before I left, it was not achieved.

The Salarians are so powerful that it is hard for Talot to imagine the progress of others.

Especially Raditz and Vegeta.

And of course, there's Kakarot.

In addition to the Cell incident involving the androids, there was also an incident that happened earlier where soldiers from Frieza's army came to Earth and secretly wanted to find the Dragon Balls to revive Frieza, but they were discovered and driven out.

There have indeed been many small crises like this, but they were all insignificant.

Then, in the seven years after the android incident, some major events happened during this period. Talot did not expect his involvement, and the bosses that appeared in the movie still appeared.

Especially the resentful warrior Hachiak.

The most surprising thing is that Satan actually became the savior of the world just like in the original work, and it was all because of Bulma's support.

After learning the details, Talot was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect things to turn out like this.

However, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. This world that belongs to him is the main world, so there is no need to worry about the fact that in the original work, Videl should have been Son Gohan's wife.

"Speaking of which, is that Satan reliable? Don't just let him do whatever he wants because of his daughter." Talot took a sip of water and changed the subject.

Speaking of Satan, Talot had indeed thought deeply about it during the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament.

The initial thought was that because of his existence, Satan would not have such a future.

Who knew it would develop to this extent.

"As long as you don't object, this is my own decision. Everyone is doing this for the sake of you and Salari, so they suppressed their anger and stopped caring about this matter." Bulma smiled helplessly and said.

"What do you mean?" Talot was puzzled.

"Basically, at the beginning, everyone was extremely angry about Satan stealing the credit for defeating Cell and saving the world. Even though everyone was not interested in the false title of savior, having the credit taken away by someone else is another matter. Let alone others, you know the tempers of Raditz and Nappa, brother Talot, and the younger generation of children, each of them had their own ideas, and they clamored to settle the score with Satan." Salari helped Bulma explain.

After hearing this, Talot suddenly realized what was going on and continued, "So Bulma and you came forward and used my name to accomplish this?"

"In fact, I think that although Satan is a little vain, he is indeed a talent. Not only is he good at speaking, but he can also easily fool ordinary people. In addition, his daughter is close to our son, so I decided to let him maintain peace on Earth on the surface. At least he can do something to stabilize people's hearts, so that they will not panic because of some small things... In addition, after Satan became the savior, he also entered our circle. The consortium he founded just provides everyone's living needs, and everyone does not need to worry about their livelihood..." Bulma stopped here.

She was looking at Talot's face.

After all, this was her own decision. Although it was not a big deal, she did use Talot to suppress everyone.

Seeing that Bulma stopped talking, Talot didn't care about such a trivial matter.

"You are my wife, so what are you worried about? I will unconditionally support you in whatever you want to do. You have done a great job in this matter. Seven years have passed, and the earth is still at peace. Doesn't this prove that you are right?" Talot looked at Bulma deeply and let her relax.

In these seventeen years, Bulma must have done a lot of things, which cannot be described in one breath. Talot believes in Bulma, so he will just have to get to know her little by little in the future.

This time when he comes back, he will never leave again.

Unless you have no choice you have to leave.

With Talot's words of comfort, Bulma felt reassured by this absolute sense of security, and all the previous gloom disappeared.

“By the way, you just mentioned that Talos and Son Gohan went to school together today?” Turning the topic back to the children, Talos asked in a surprised tone.

It mainly reminds me of the plot in the original work where Son Gohan goes to school. He is thinking about having his own son join him, and he and Videl have already established a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, so how will the plot develop?

Bulma nodded and smiled helplessly: "You are not here, so I don't know. If you were here, maybe he wouldn't have this kind of personality..."

Bulma's words made Talot feel guilty again.

"You suffered, Bulma."

"It's okay. Although that kid has made me angry a lot, he is actually very smart and knows how to be considerate of me. He's just too lazy. It was okay in the past few years. He knew how to practice to become stronger, knew how to learn skills from me, and had clear goals. But in recent years, he has started to only think about playing every day and doesn't take studying seriously... So I gave him a death order that he must get the graduation certificate from Orange Star High School." Bulma said viciously.

As the saying goes, a loving mother often spoils her son. Bulma was afraid that her son would become more and more lazy, so she used this method.

"Just in case, Bulma specially let Talos and Gohan go to school in Satan City together. On the one hand, Videl is in Orange Star High School, maybe it can help him focus, and by the way, he can also improve his relationship with Videl." Sarari followed up with a sentence.
