Chapter 49 - Entering The Room Of Spirit And Time, Another Origin Ki Encounter!? (I) (1/2)
Year 733 May Planet Earth The Lookout
Kami stood in place as Miya continued to to describe King Kai to him, donning a serious look. Miya saw Kami turn serious and she let out another giggle.
”Hehe, so it seems Mister Guardian Knows about King Kai then. This makes things even simpler.”
”Miss Miya, for you to know about King Kai as well...what are you trying to implore here? Young Miss did mention about a small bet earlier, do you have something going on with King Kai?”
”Yup! King Kai managed to contact us for the first time about two to three years ago. After that he only contacted us once more but you see, Mister Guardian, we had a small bet on whether brother and I can arrive on his planet or not in the Other World. The time limit was two years, and the first year had already passed for us...”
”Is Miss Miya suggesting to use my Lookout as a means of access to the Other World? It is definitely possible but I usually do not permit anyone to go there unless it is an emergency. Being able to grant this is a lot harder than letting Miss Miya and Sir Nao enter the Room of Spirit and Time.”
”Hehe, that's where you're wrong, Mister Guardian. We have our own means of getting to King Kai's Planet.”
”That's right, Kami. You probably saw how we arrived on Earth right? I call that a [Gate], and I already have the coordinates to King Kai's Planet thanks to my little sister here.”
”Hehehe.”
Miya heard her brother praise her, and she started to rub her head against his chest again. Kami heard for the first time that the two small Saiyans in front of him were siblings, and he started to rub his temple with two fingers of his right hand.
”My two esteemed guests actually turned out to be a pair of siblings? It's no wonder the two of you seem really close...”
”That's not all, Mister Guardian. We're twins to be exact! I haven't seen anyone on our planet born as twins yet, so brother and I might be the very first pair, hehe!”
”Twins...? But my esteemed guests, the two of you look nothing alike. I'm having a hard time believing this as it is...But I'm more interested in this [Gate] you mentioned. Sir Nao, it does appear you've dabbed into the laws of Space, correct?”
”It hasn't been that long since I've gained the ability and affinity towards the Space element, but yes, [Gate] is one of my results from practicing it for the last couple years.”
”That is simply marvelous. It is difficult to even perceive the elements in our universe, let alone manipulating them like Sir Nao has done so far. Even though I'm a Guardian myself, I've yet to even arrive at that threshold. I feel ashamed I can't live up to my ancestors, seeing as the first one had quite the insight to the Laws of Time, Space and Spirit, ever since they created this Room of Spirit and Time...but if the two of you have the ability to go the Other World, then why bring this up with me?”
”Kami, you know we're on vacation now. Once we had our fill of travelling the Earth, we plan to come back here and I will set up another [Gate]. I would like it if we would be able to set one up here without any troubles. I just don't want any distractions during its setup.”
”If that is all you require me to do, Sir Nao, then that won't cause any issues at all. I myself like the peace and quiet The Lookout brings. I've noticed lately that there is evil rising among humans down below and are on a decline, I currently have not much hope in them right now. If they had an upbringing such as Sir Nao's, then perhaps my faith would have been restored eventually but sadly that's not the case. I'd rather pass my time quietly up here.”
”Hehe, it is quite cozy and calm up here. Are you sure Mister Guardian will let us enter the Other World without us giving anything back? You know, having my brother owe a favor is quite the reward, don't you think? For example, if Mister Guardian ever feels an impending crisis where the Earth will cease to exist, we could always step in one time for you from this exchange...”
”That is quite alright, Lady Miya. If I can't resolve Earth's matters when a crises arrives then I won't be fit to serve as a Guardian, despite my aging looks. Do my esteemed guests have any other matters to relay to me? I can guarantee you The Lookout will be safe when you two are ready to head to the Other World.”
”I think that about covers it. Oh yes, Kami, would you happen to have any of this world's currency? We brought some gold from our personal storage from our house back on our home world. I figured the amount we brought should be enough to cover our expenses.”
”I do apologize, Sir Nao, for the lack of material goods up here. I do not have any of the currencies the humans down below have. There are scattered appraisal shops in each of the major four cities, which go by the name of North City, West City, East City and South City. Each of these four cities surround one one giant city, called the Central City, where the current Emperor of Earth resides. Despite what I've mentioned previously, there is some unification of this world at least.”
”I guess that's where we will head to first after we emerge from The Room of Spirit And Time then. Miya do you have anything else to add?”
”Nope. I feel quite filthy from our travel here though. I want to take a bath. I miss our spacious bath back at home already!”
”Lady Miya, you can rest assured a bath will be prepared for when you enter. Even though I do not have many material goods here, there will be plenty of food for my two esteemed guests to get their fill each day. Would you two perhaps be interested in visiting Korin's Tower? You two can pick up some senzu beans for any serious injuries my two esteemed guests will receive during training.”
”Hmm, that's not a bad idea. Korin is another deity of Earth like Kami is right?”
”That's correct, Sir Nao. He is known as the God of Martial Arts to those earthlings. I wouldn't dare say he would be a match for you two, but one of his better abilities is Ki control. My esteemed guests, the two of you have been constantly releasing a dense aura since you two had arrived, it might be in best interest to learn to control that, otherwise those earthlings will be scared to death if you try to approach any of them.”
