Starting from West City, Talot headed eastward.

  Every few huo a thousand kilometers, Talot would use the Dragon Radar to check if there was any signal from the Dragon Balls within range.

  The pn was to first follow the map he was familiar with and go to Mount Paozu to retrieve the Four-Star Dragon Ball, and at the same time, meet Kakarot and Son Gohan.

  Although he wasn't sure at what exact time Kakarot hit his head in the inal work, it could have happe any point in time.

  To be ho, Talot initially thought that the i occurred one or two months after Kakarot icked up by Son Gohan.

  Now that time had passed, and having been oh for over three months, it meant that about six months had gone by since Kakarot's arrival.

  He tinued his journey.

  After ten minutes or so, without realizing how many times he had traveled a thousand kilometers, the Dragon Radar suddenly picked up a dragon ball signal.

  [This dire doesn't seem to be Mount Paozu. From here, if I travel awo thousand kilometers east, I should reach Mount Paozu. This spot, if I'm not mistaken, should be north of Mount Paozu… The north, that's right! In the inal work, the first Dragon Ball Bulma found with the Dragon Radar was the Five-Star Ball, located in a rge yon in this dire.]

  With a clear idea in his mind, Talot's Ki erupted and he headed straight in the dire indicated by the Dragon Radar.

  Before he k, he had crossed more than a thousand kilometers and arrived in the northern mountains. A long, narrow yon stretched out in front of him.

  Desding from the sky, Talot adjusted the Dragon Radar's sing rao within a hundred meters.

  This was the limit after minimizing the range. Bulma had always focused on expanding the sing range, hinking of refining it down to a specific meter.

  Within the hundred-meter ra was still quite difficult to locate the dragon ball, but Talot had a way. He had brought Bulma's Two-Star Dragon Ball with him. When Dragon Balls are close to each other, they resonate a a glow. So, even in a hundred-meter ra would be easy to find.

  While walking through the yon, Talot also entered some mountain spirits and monsters.

  In this era, especially in these eastern mountains, many such creatures existed oh.

  In the end, they were just beasts that had suddenly bee enlightened, gaining intellige inferior to humans.

  Of course, to Talot, they were mere ants. Even if their power level reached nearly 10, or even higher, they were only strong by Earthling standards.

  He found the Five-Star Dragon Ball on a barren stretch of nd in the yon. Without lingering, Talot took off into the sky.

  Now that he had this Dragon Ball, the step was to head to Mount Paozu.

  ...

  Meanwhile, on the Lookout.

  Kami appeared deeply worried.

  He hadn't expected that ahling could really i something like the Dragon Radar, especially not a five-year-old girl.

  Initially, he thought it might be a hoax. But now, seeing Talot cross half the po find the Five-Star Dragon Ball, Kami had no choice but to believe it.

  "Kami-sama, if this keeps up, Talot will soon reach Mount Paozu ahat child named Kakarot," Popo said, standing beside Kami.

  Having hidden this for so long, the search for the Dragon Balls was now leading Talot to Kakarot.

  Kami sighed, "Sometimes, making one wrong move leads to many others. Mr. Popo, do you think I should have told them about that child from the very beginning?"

  "Kami-sama only had Earth's best is in mind. Without these months of observation, no one could have been sure what kind of aliens Talot and his group really were," Popo reassured.

  Kami nodded. He had been trying to find bance, but his uemmed from the fact that he had lied, deceiving both Talot and the others.

  As time passed, it became clear that all his cautiousness and suspi had been unnecessary, and guilt had started to weigh on him.

  "I just hope they won't make any excessive wishes," Kami murmured, now troubled about the potential wishes that could be made.

  …

  Mount Paozu.

  Talot had finally arrived at the mountaihe inal storyline began.

  Looking down from the sky, there was no sense of familiarity.

  The reason was simple: the real world looked nothing like the ses from the anime or manga he remembered in his past life.

  The anime and manga could only depiuch. What Talot saere t peaks stretg endlessly across the nd.

  It wasn't until Talot used his Ki Seo loto the auras of Son Gohan and Kakarot that he finally identified which mountain was Mount Paozu and where Son Gohan's house was located.

  Upon seeing the simple yet distinct house, Talot smiled knowingly.

  [Finally, we're going to meet, Kakarot. Are you still Kakarot, or have you already bee Goku?] Talot thought to himself, as he quickly desded from the sky, nding on the open spa front of the house.

  Inside, Son Gohan seemed to have sensed something. He stepped out of the door aalot's gaze.

  "This is quite rare. No one ever visits me out here. Six months ago, a baby suddenly appeared, and now another child shows up," Son Gohan's voice was kind ale, making Talot feel an indescribable warmth.

  As soon as Talot heard this, he looked ihe house, where a baby was crawling on the floor. Who could it be if not Kakarot?

  Meeting Kakarot's gaze, Talot already had a feeling in his heart.

  Something must have happeo him. Otherwise, he wouldn't be looking at me like he doesn't reize me!

  "Hello, Earth's martial artist. Let me introduce myself. My name is Talot, and I e from a distant p of Saiyans. I want to thank you for taking care of my... hmm, let's say, little brother." Talot spoke first.

  Hearing this, Son Gohan was immediately surprised. He gnced bad forth between Talot and Kakarot, and then he recalled the se when he found Kakarot, resolving some of his doubts.

  "I see now. I was w how a baby could fall from the sky in this remote wilderness. It turns out he's an alien. No wonder he's s for his size, has a tail, as so much." Son Goha doicked up Kakarot, then tinued, "Saiyan, huh? So, you're here to take this child back?"

  Talot was taken aback by Son Gohan's expression and his words. He hadn't expected him to be so posed.

  "You sense my aura, right? Aren't you the least bit afraid?" Talot asked.

  Son Gohan shook his head with a gentle smile: "Your aura is strong, but there's no mali it, so I know you're not here seeking revenge or intending harm to Son Goku."

  "Son Goku?" Talot feigned fusion.

  "It's the name I gave him—Son Goku. My name is Son Gohan," Son Gohan replied.
