The story of buying Saibaman seeds goes back to a few days ago.

  Bardock took Talot to the royal city to purchase a spaceship aer for the mission. During this time, they tally met Bardock's teammates.

  As a result, uhe encement of these teammates, Bardock took Talot to a tavern to rex.

  In that tavern, Talot actally saw ae upper-css warrior secretly trading Saibaman seeds for merit points. Talot seized the opportunity to buy the five Saibaman seeds at the same price.

  Sihen, Talot realized that Saiyans also secretly engage in such shady transas.

  And it seemed that this tavern ce for such transas.

  This i also served as a lesson for Talot.

  Afterward, Talot received a scolding from Bardock.

  The lesson was about not funting one's wealth.

  Talot uood, but when he saw something he wanted and had the means to get it, he didn't think too much.

  In the end, it was because he was too young and too weak.

  At his age, spending thousands of merit points without hiding his identity—using Bardock's words, if someoh ill iions had noticed, his life could have been in danger.

  Luckily, Bardock was there, so the transa went smoothly.

  As for Talot trading for the Saibaman seeds, Bardock didn't delve too deeply into it.

  Perhaps to him, these things were mere toys.

  Talot even thought that he didn't o spend those merit points on a secret exge; he could have just asked Bardock for some.

  Refleg on this reckless a, Talot realized he had been too caught up in the moment and almost made a grave mistake.

  Besides the Saibaman seeds, there were also special medies and healing liquids.

  These were easy to obtain, just costing some merit points.

  With Bardock's guidaalot traded for quite a few from legitimate shops.

  Of course, he spent his ow points; Bardock didn't pay for anything else.

  It seemed that Bardock was showing Talot through as that he had already helped as much as he could, and from now on, it to himself.

  ...

  After wandering around the market with Sari for a while, Talot finally parted with her for the time being.

  Actually, Talot fouoo gy, and with her around, he couldn't get many things done.

  Without her, Talot quickly returned home to check the time.

  His pn was to take advantage of Bardock's absen the afternoon to visit Aunt Gine a if she would be willing to apany him on the mission, thereby luring her away from P Vegeta.

  However, upoering the house, Talot saw that Kakarot had e out of the incubator, so he had to put that idea on hold.

  The timing was nht; with Kakarot here, he couldn't possibly take Kakarot on the mission with him.

  Even if Talot agreed, it probably wouldn't be allowed duriration.

  Secretly taking the mother and son on the spaceship?

  That ossible.

  But if discovered, it wouldn't be a small matter.

  For almost the eernoon, Talot stayed by Gine's side, as well as Kakarot's.

  Perhaps because he knew Kakarot was the protagonist, Talot felt strange when he was around Kakarot.

  This gave rise to a rather peculiar thought. When he meets Kakarot again iure, he could boast a bit.

  For example, when he sees Kakarot again, he could naturally say: "Kakarot, when you were little, I even held you. Back then, you were so weak that all you did was cry."

  ...

  Night fell.

  It was very te when Bardock finally returned from the royal city.

  Logically, he should have e back by dusk after seeing off Raditz.

  It wasn't until Talot saw the small single-person spaceship that Bardock brought back that he realized the story was now officially advang.

  The se fron Ball Minus pyed out in front of him for real.

  As an observer, Bardock allowed him to watd ultimately see Kakarot off.

  Gine was heartbroken, but she was indeed helpless, because this was Bardock's arra. Bardock wouldn't deceive her or make things up.

  After seeing off Kakarot, the three of them didn't return home immediately but stared bnkly at the starry sky.

  After a long while, Bardock broke the silence.

  "Little Talot, there were many things I couldn't tell you before, but now the time has e, and you should know."

  Hearing this, Talot's expression turned serious. This time, he didn't pretend to know nothing.

  "Uncle Bardock, from the versation you had with Aunt Gine just now, I already guessed it. It must be that Frieza is pnning to act against us Saiyans, right? That's why you came back so decisively—not only to send off Raditz and Kakarot but also to send me away."

  As he finished speaking, Talot and Bardock locked eyes.

  The wise look in Talot's eyes made Bardock even more amazed. "You're indeed smart, kid. There's only you left now. You should be able to plete all preparations within two days, right? Before I depart, take your Sari and leave P Vegeta."

  Bardock's tone was very serious, leaving no room for Talot tue.

  Gine, feeling Bardock was being overly cautious, said, "Do we really have to be this cautious, Bardock? Even if what you say is true, then..."

  Before she could finish, Bardoterrupted her.

  "Trust me, Gine! And I've already made up my mind. This time, you leave P Vegeta with Talot and avoid this turmoil...

  "If nothing happens, that would be best. But if something unimaginable does occur, we'll be gd for the advance preparation."

  Bardock said a lot in one breath, shog both Gine and Talot.

  Gine was shocked that Bardock wanted her to leave with Talot. An inexplicable sense of panic swept through her mind, causio breathe rapidly and with difficulty.

  Talot was shocked because, before he could even suggest it, Bardock had made such a decision.

  "If Aunt Gine leaves with me, what about you, Uncle Bardock?" Talot took a deep breath, thinking that if things could ge, perhaps Bardock wouldn't return to P Vegeta after pleting the mission o Kanassa.

  However, Talot also khis was impossible.

  Otherwise, the inal work wouldn't have the legendary st stand!

  Bardock's sense of duty was to. In a moment of life ah for the entire race, how could he seek to save his own skin?

  "Don't worry about me! Don't fet, my power level is over ten thousand! Even Kia would have a hard time beating me!" Bardock ughed.
