Talot, Gine, and Selari fell silent.
The existence of the Dragon Balls and Shenron's wish-granting power had stirred thoughts in all of them.
Of course, even knowing that the Dragon Balls were special and precious, they had no intention of taking them by force.
The main reason was that Talot had influenced them too deeply.
Without realizing it, Gine and Selari had both become the sort of people who would not casually start conflicts with others, much less fight to seize someone else's possessions.
A long time passed.
Then, the sound of someone arriving drew the trio's attention once more.
Without a doubt, it was Dr. Brief.
Talot recognized him at a glance. Though he was much younger than he had been in the original story, his appearance and attire were nearly identical.
"Are you the guests my daughter mentioned? I heard you need my help making something special." Dr. Brief walked in, with Tights naturally following behind him.
The two of them continued to observe Talot and the others. Thanks to his daughter's reminder, Dr. Brief knew that the boy was the one seeking his help.
"Hello, Dr. Brief! I've heard that you created Capsule Corp and are the most brilliant scientist on Earth today, so I'd like to ask you to make something for me." Talot greeted him warmly face-to-face.
Flattery never failed. It might not mean much to Dr. Brief, but nearly everyone in the world liked hearing compliments.
"Oh, not at all. There are plenty of famous scientists on Earth. I simply stand out a little in certain fields," Dr. Brief replied modestly.
He then sat down, while Tights took a seat on the sofa as well and proactively asked, "Dad's right here now, so just tell us what kind of help you need."
