"I see."
After listening to Bulma and Selari's explanations, Talot felt that he needed to get to know his son properly.
He had left this world when his son was only three months old, and he didn't expect to be separated for seventeen years, until he had become an adult.
Seeing Talot's serious expression, Bulma and Selari guessed what he was thinking.
Even after seventeen years of separation, they could still understand each other's hearts and minds directly.
"What about Tarola? Does she also go to Orange Star High School?" Thinking of his and Selari's precious daughter, Talot asked again.
After his daughter was born, he had spoiled her rotten. Thinking back, she was only two years old when he left, and she was so adorable back then.
Now she has grown up too, and calculating the time, she is almost twenty years old.
Hearing this, Selari said with a smile, "Tarola doesn't go to Orange Star High School. She and Raditz's son, Treep, attend Blue Hal High School together. They will graduate in another half a year... Her grades are excellent, and her strength hasn't fallen behind because of her studies. You know, she has always been very competitive, so she takes everything she does very seriously..."
Speaking to this point, Selari stopped and didn't continue.
Some things need to be clarified face-to-face between Talot and Tarola.
Selari felt that her daughter's knot in her heart needed to be untied by Talot, her father.
He had left too suddenly back then, and even though he had said goodbye, he had promised to return soon.
Who would have thought that he would be gone for seventeen years?
The resentment the daughter felt towards her father had been increasing.
"It's a pity that I couldn't participate in their growing up years. Now that the children have grown up, there will be no more opportunities like this." A trace of guilt flashed in Talot's eyes.
Seeing Talot like this, Bulma gently patted Talot on the shoulder and said, "Although you missed the past, there is still a lot of time in the future. More than that, it's good that you can come back, and we won't have to be separated again in the future."
"Bulma is right, and there's also Buma and Android 18 from another world."
The words of the two made Talot even more moved.
Buma and Android 18, who had been summoned by Talot long ago, were also extremely excited.
They were actually very uneasy, but now that they haven't been turned away, they won't have to worry about getting along in the future.
They just didn't know if Talot's son and daughter would accept them.
...
After an emotional exchange, Talot suddenly noticed something and already had the answer in his heart, so he took the four women outside to greet the visitor.
The visitor was none other than Whis.
Although he had seen Whis from other Spacetime Worlds, in the end, this Whis made him feel more cordial.
After all, he was the first one he met, and he was Whis from his own world, who had given him great help and guidance from the beginning.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to reach where he is today.
Their eyes met, and Talot and Whis smiled at each other.
"I didn't expect you to find out about my return so quickly and come to Earth to find me," Talot said.
The meaning was clear: Whis had unexpectedly arrived ahead of schedule.
Whis chuckled and replied, "Actually, after you left the Other Spacetime World, I already knew, and I calculated the timing of your return... Regarding your news, I also communicated with the versions of myself in the timelines you visited, so I have some understanding..."
"Is that so? As expected, an Angel is an Angel. Even if I become this strong, I still can't compare," Talot sighed.
His words seemed to have a deeper meaning, but in reality, it was just a casual remark.
Whis continued, revealing his other purpose for coming: "The Grand Priest has also learned of your return to this timeline, so I came to Earth, on the one hand, to take you to see him."
"The Grand Priest of our world?" Talot wondered, speculating in his mind.
The four women beside him were worried, seemingly afraid that Talot would leave again for some reason.
Especially Bulma and Selari, who had been in contact with Whis for so many years, were even more worried at this time, because they had indeed heard of the Grand Priest's existence, but Whis had only mentioned the name and had not told them the specific identity.
It was only when Champa and Vados came to Earth as guests and let it slip that they heard that there were Grand Priest and Zeno above the Angels.
Sensing the emotional changes of the four women, Talot said, "It's okay, even if I really need to do something, it will be in the future. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back now."
After saying that, Talot looked at Whis again, seeing him staring at Bulma and Android 18 from another Spacetime World, and felt unsure.
From the moment he traveled through Spacetime Worlds, Talot already knew some implicit rules.
People from different Spacetime Worlds are not allowed to cross over actively unless permitted.
Unless they are not discovered.
And even if it is a passive crossing, once discovered, it can only be a short stay at most.
Bardock's proficiency was an accident, not being noticed, or it could be said that after being noticed, Bardock was already in the Dark Demon Realm.
Just like Talot going to other Spacetime Worlds, he was only allowed to stay. Later, after arriving in the Super Time-Space World, he was granted the authority by the Grand Priest to travel and stay in other worlds at will.
This point, also after being given the mark, Talot slowly understood.
It can only be said that some things cannot be put on the surface, after all, that is the rule.
"Don't worry, before coming, the Grand Priest had already greeted me, and Bulma and Android 18 from another Spacetime World are now entangled with you in fate, so in a sense, they have been recognized by the rules of our Spacetime World because of your relationship," Whis said.
These words also dispelled Talot's inner concerns.
At the same time, after hearing Whis's words, Bulma and Android 18 were overjoyed.
Even this world has recognized their existence, so what do they need to worry about? "Thank you." The two women also thanked Whis for his explanation.
Although they and Whis are not acquainted, there will be no less contact in the future.
"Then I'll go with you first. I'm also very curious to know why the Grand Priest of our timeline is looking for me?" Talot said.
Whis nodded upon hearing this, and then signaled Talot to reach out and grab his shoulder.
At the moment of touching Whis's shoulder, Talot said to the four women again, "Wait for me at home, I will be back soon, and prepare some big meals. After leaving for so many years, I really miss Earth's food."
As Talot's words finished, Bulma and Selari were once again touched to tears, nodding repeatedly.
Whis saw this and showed a smile, and then said, "Mrs. Selari, Mrs. Bulma, please help prepare some more of the cakes and pastries I tasted last time, ho ho ho ho~~"
"Got it, but Whis, if you kidnap Talot this time, I will never prepare Earth's delicacies for you again." Bulma stared at Whis, with a serious look on her face, her eyes full of deterrence.
This made Whis break out in a cold sweat.
He had to admit, these years had been quite tormenting for him.
Every time he heard Bulma and Selari's inquiries, he had to answer seriously, and each answer required reassurance...
For Whis, even after serving Beerus for so many years, he had never felt this way.
...
Watching Talot leave with Whis, the excitement that had arisen from Talot's return cooled down slightly.
Selari and Bulma were stunned for a long time before they started to take action, reminded by Buma and Android 18.
Their first thought wasn't just preparing food, but throwing a grand celebration.
After seventeen years, Talot had finally returned. If they didn't throw a banquet for this, they would be failing as his wives.
"Buma, come and help me prepare. Judging by the timeline, even though you're me from seven years ago, you should be familiar with everything in this house. Like you said, the difference shouldn't be too big," Bulma suggested.
"Alright, I'll need to learn eventually. Let's start with the basics. From now on, just treat me like your younger sister, even though we're the same person..." Buma said.
Bulma appreciated this. She was originally the younger sister anyway. After all, as Talot's wives, they had to respect the order in which they came into his life.
Just like Selari was with Talot first. Although she doesn't call Selari 'elder sister' now, she knows her place.
"Then I'll contact everyone on Earth. I'm sure everyone will be extremely happy and excited when they hear this news," Selari said.
Compared to the trivial matters of preparing a banquet, Selari, even after so many years, still wasn't as meticulous as Bulma.
"We should definitely tell everyone, especially those two kids. We should prepare them as much as possible," Bulma paused and said.
The three women had things to do, but Android 18 felt a little lost because she didn't know anything, let alone what she could do.
Bulma was very clever and said to her, "Oh dear, I'm so flustered. Android 18, you might be a bit busy next. When the people from outside come to the house later, you need to supervise everything, including the venue arrangement and the chefs and food critics we've invited."
"Okay, leave it to me," Android 18 nodded happily.
Here, the four women began to do their jobs.
Especially Selari, who started making phone calls one by one, which made the warriors on Earth feel like they had been injected with chicken blood.
...
First was Mount Paozu.
After hearing the news about Talot's return, Bardock was extremely excited.
"He's back! That kid is really back! That's great!!" Hanging up the phone, Bardock was overjoyed.
At this moment, he couldn't wait to go to West City immediately to see Talot.
But the phone call also said that Talot was taken away by Whis, who said he was going to see the Grand Priest.
"Bardock, what's wrong?" Gine, who heard the commotion outside, walked in and looked at her husband suspiciously.
Bardock saw Gine and stepped forward to hug her tightly: "Gine, do you know what news Selari just told me?"
"What?" Gine had never seen Bardock like this before, and she began to guess, could it be...
"That kid Talot, he's back!" Bardock said seriously, his voice not loud, but able to strike straight into the heart.
Gine's eyes immediately filled with tears upon hearing this.
They had always felt that it was because of Bardock that Talot was unable to return.
Gine had felt guilty all these years, and so had Bardock.
It had been seven years since Bardock returned, and these seven years of waiting were even harder to bear than the past ten.
"Cry it out, you'll feel better if you cry it out." As a man, Bardock was naturally stronger.
Now that they had finally waited for Talot to return, the negative emotions that had been building up in his heart finally had an outlet.
"I'm going to find him now. He must have suffered a lot being alone outside for so many years." Gine wiped away her tears, eager to set off for West City.
But Bardock stopped her: "Don't rush! Selari said that after Talot came back, Whis took him to see the Grand Priest, who is even higher than an Angel."
"Will he be alright? Don't let anything else happen." Gine said worriedly.
Bardock shook his head: "Don't worry, that kid is lucky. Now that he's back, it's normal for him to receive the Grand Priest's attention. Bulma and the others are already preparing a banquet. Let's go and inform Raditz and Kakarot first, and then we'll all go to West City and wait for Talot to return."
"Okay." Gine nodded.
When the two of them walked outside.
They happened to see Raditz and Son Goku talking.
On the other side, there were Blonde Launch and Chi-Chi, chatting while doing the laundry, talking about some interesting things that had happened recently.
In addition, there was a child running around chasing butterflies, looking almost exactly like Son Goku and Bardock.
It was Son Goku and Chi-Chi's second child, Son Goten.
After Bardock returned, the family reunited, and Son Goku and Chi-Chi worked hard and finally had a second child.
In the beginning, Raditz also wanted to have another child, but Blonde Launch never conceived again.
In the end, the matter of having another child was dropped.
Besides, the two of them already had a son.
...
"What? Talot is back?!"
"Is, is this true? Dad."
As Bardock told Son Goku and Raditz the news, the two of them were simultaneously shocked and overjoyed beyond control.
This great news was the best news they had heard in years.
The last time they were so happy was when their father, Bardock, returned.
Seeing that his two sons couldn't wait to leave, Bardock stopped them in time and told them about Whis taking Talot to see the Grand Priest.
"Bulma and the others are preparing a banquet at this time, and Selari still needs to contact other people. If we go now, we won't be able to help, and we'll only cause trouble." Bardock said.
Son Goku and Raditz exchanged a look, and then suppressed their excited hearts.
Now that you're back, there's really no need to rush.
