Chapter 231 - 222: Reaction (2/2)
”I double checked her interior as well and she is not infected with anything either. I understand the emotional distress but what about the severe exhaustion? According to you guys she did go through some training recently, did she push herself too hard?”
Hearing Nao ask that, the girls looked at each other for a moment. They then looked at Aht who walked up beside him and nodded.
”About that...she joined us in training inside Historia's training grounds, Nao. She came to learn of her bloodline, and wanted to further improve herself. Apparently she is related to that other fox guy with the three tails. You can talk to her about it in further detail, but she did push herself quite hard...Witnessing something like that probably pushed her over the edge.”
After Aht said that, Nao could only let out a sigh.
”This silly girl...she really doesn't need to push herself that hard, does she? But if she did discover more about her bloodline, then I must thank Lord Liquiir later. Looks like a lot happened while I was gone, but for now we must let Sayuri rest. Sorry about this but I'll excuse myself for now. I'll go bring her to the bed.”
”Do you need me to come with you, Nao?”, Tights asked with a worried look.
”Nah. You guys can can enjoy the feast with the others. I'll make sure Sayuri is doing okay. Also I was planning to start this trial shortly after everyone left but I will wait till tomorrow. This will give you guys enough time if any of you want to come with me for each fight. Also Toppo, Ribrianne, you must also decide. Do you want to fight alongside me when I go to Jiren?”
After Nao asked that, Toppo blinked at him for a couple moments. Nao could previously see the determined look in both his and Ribrianne's eyes. Toppo even formed a fist with his giant hand.
”Of course we'd like to go with you, Nao. I do not want to see our leader in pain any longer. If we cannot save him, we must put him to rest. Would it be possible to join you for the other two as well? Any evil like that must not exist!”
”That's right, Nao! You healed us back to full, so it's only proper we return the favor. You also allowed us to meet Lady Miya once again, we've owed far too much. It doesn't matter if she is different. Let us fight alongside you!”
Toppo and Ribrianne sounded even more determined than last time. Nao nodded hearing the two respond to him and smiled. He then turned toward Beerus and did a light bow as he still had Sayuri in his arms.
”Lord Beerus, I apologize for this interruption. I'll excuse myself for now. I'm not sure if you'll have something to discuss with Whis after seeing all this, but you're free to join the guests in the dining room. Regarding your other matter of discussion, I have a vague idea of what it is, it might be best for you to seek out Goku and Vegeta regarding that. Those two are Saiyans like me.”
”Goku and Vegeta, huh? When I got a look at those two for the first time I could tell they are still mortals. Also that Fu is a crazy bastard as well for wanting to destroy all of our Universes, I wish I could join you but I fear I may have my hands tied with my other matter here for the time being. I really want to see if a second Super Saiyan God exists! Moreover I'm starving. Whis let us depart at once!”
”As you wish, Lord Beerus.”
After Whis said that, he bid everyone in the room farewell, and Beerus and Whis left. The girls, Nao, the Supreme Kai of Time, Toppo and Ribrianne in the Garden. The girls also talked for a bit before they excused themselves with Toppo and Ribrianne. Nao did ask Aht the Supreme Kai of Time to remain behind, causing their eyes to become curious. It didn't take long before Sayuri, Nao and Aht were alone.
Without saying anything, Nao picked up Sayuri and left the room with Aht and the Supreme Kai of Time following behind him in silence. Several moments passed in silence before they entered the main bedroom. Nao placed Sayuri onto the bed and caressed her cheek for a bit. Feeling Nao's warmth on her relieved her pain and a smile soon crept on her sleeping face.
Seeing this Nao let out a sigh of relief. Aht and the Supreme Kai of Time remained by the bedside, waiting for him to speak. Nao turned around and spoke out to the two.
”Thank you for coming with me, Aht, Master. I did want to invite Fie as well but she had already come to a resolution of her own. This is more of a private talk I don't want anyone but the girls to hear. Yet I still had them join the feast, since they seemed rather hungry.”
”A private talk...? To be honest I can't even processed what happened just now...Nao, are you really alright even after seeing all of that?”, the Supreme Kai of Time said with worry in her eyes.
”Don't worry, Master. I was prepared this time since I had a talk with the old man prior to it. Speaking of which, those fights weren't the only thing that I envisioned. But before we come to that, Master, we've known each other for a few decades now. I've been wanting to confirm your feelings, especially seeing you react like that earlier.”
”You saw even more than what we saw on that screen? Can't say I'm not curious but why are you talking like that, Nao? Why do want to know what I feel?”
”There's no use beating around the bush, Master. I'll be direct and straight to the point, do you like me?”
Hearing Nao's sudden question like that left the Supreme Kai of Time in a stupor. Even Aht looked at her with eyes full of curiosity, waiting to hear her answer!
