Bardock and Gine were both surprised. They wanted to ask why Earth was the best place for Kakarot to grow up.
But Bardock knew about King Saigo. He had heard that a dream from the Super Saiyan God had led to the rise of King Saigo and brought about the Saiyans' current situation.
He had also told Gine about these things, which was why she had hesitated to speak.
From the top-secret plan to rebel against Frieza to the successful overthrow of his brutal rule, everything had been thanks to Saigo. So far, he had never made a mistake!
They could freely control their battle power!
They could raise their battle power through training!
Super Saiyans were no longer a legend!
Their people who had been sent away had been recalled!
Frieza's oppression and rule had been overthrown!
Every one of these things proved that Saigo was right.
So Bardock and Gine didn't know what to decide.
An ordinary Saiyan would probably have agreed without hesitation!
After all, this was something arranged personally by the King of Saiyans. They would have felt nothing but honored, without a trace of hesitation.
But Bardock and Gine were different from other Saiyans. They cared about their children. Especially after Saigo had taught them, they cared even more about their family and hoped they could always stay together.
Of the two, Gine's reluctance was more obvious. It was written all over her face.
Seeing this, Saigo took a deep breath and cursed himself for being so spineless.
I've already transmigrated. Does Kakarot really still have to go to Earth and suffer?
Damn it!
To hell with fate!
I'm not sending him!
"All right. Since neither of you wants to, I won't force you! I believe Kakarot can grow up healthy right here on Planet Saiyan!" Saigo said sincerely. "Go back and keep training. Oh, and Gine, you'd better rest properly before you train again, or you might end up with lasting health problems."
Saigo wasn't playing hard to get. He had genuinely decided not to send Kakarot to Earth!
With that, he turned to go back and train.
But he had taken only a few steps when someone called out to him.
"King Saigo, p-please wait!"
Saigo turned around and saw that it was Gine, the one who had been most reluctant.
She had grown very resolute, though her eyes still showed how much she hated to part with him. "I... I agree to your arrangement for Kakarot."
With that, her shoulders sagged, and she seemed about to fall backward. Knowing Gine's temperament, Bardock steadied her just in time.
Bardock looked deeply at Gine, then turned his stern face toward Saigo and said firmly, "I'm willing to follow your arrangement as well!"
At first, Bardock had wanted to say that he had no objections. But considering Gine's feelings, he had chosen to keep quiet. He was one of the very few Saiyans with even a trace of humanity.
Now that Gine had agreed, he naturally wouldn't object.
Saigo knew how much courage it took for a mother who had just given birth to make this decision.
After a moment of silence, he said softly, "Then... spend more time with Kakarot. As for when to send him to Earth... the sooner, the better."
His voice grew much quieter by the end.
Saigo didn't know whether he had made the right decision.
And no amount of comfort could ease a mother's pain and reluctance at being separated from her own child.
Heavy-hearted, Saigo left. For once, Bardock and Gine didn't call out to see him off.
Bardock merely nodded resolutely, his expression seeming to say, "Don't worry. I'll take care of it."
As soon as Saigo returned to the Royal Palace, he plunged into the Gravity Chamber, set it to three times gravity, and began training furiously, trying to forget all his troubles by losing himself in it.
At dusk.
At last, Kakarot departed Planet Saiyan aboard the Spherical Personal Spaceship.
Besides Bardock and Gine, the nineteen elite warriors had also come to see him off.
Although they couldn't understand why King Saigo had sent away only Kakarot, a newborn low-class warrior with a battle power of just two, they knew that King Saigo must have had his reasons.
All they could do was see him off.
They also remembered the planet at the edge of the universe—Earth—and thought that one day they would learn why King Saigo had done this.
Time passed quickly.
Before long, night had fallen.
After finishing a day of training and getting everything ready for bed, Saigo lay quietly on his bed and opened his Personal Information Panel.
[Name]: Saigo [Age]: 2 [Potential]: High-class [Talents]: Great Ape Large appetite and strong digestion Battle power increases after recovering from injuries Void Survival Pseudo Super Saiyan Full Power Super Saiyan [Superpowers]: Telekinesis, Ball of Confinement [Spirit]: 18 [Battle Power]: 3.8146 million [Secret Technique]: Potential Guidance (Beginner 31/100) [Skills]: Artificial Moon Flight Technique (Beginner 66/100) Ki Control (Proficient 366/1000) Martial Arts (Proficient 86/1000) Ki Sense (Beginner 89/100) Super Ki Blast (Proficient 666/1000) [Space]: Guaranteed pass experience for the Yardratians' trial x1 [Simulation Duration]: 4 months [Simulation Count]: 0
"I finally have the Full Power Super Saiyan Form!" Saigo exclaimed after reading the panel, a hint of smugness showing on his face.
"Training got faster in the simulation, and it got faster in reality too. As expected, a Saiyan's training speed increases after successfully transforming into a Super Saiyan."
Thinking of the Cell Saga in the original story, when Sun Wukong and the other three Saiyans saw their battle power shoot up by leaps and bounds—faster than a rocket—
Saigo knew his earlier guess had been right.
"It really is possible. I remember Sun Wukong went into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to deal with Cell and spent less than a day inside, while a few months passed in there. He still managed to reach a normal-form battle power of 700 million. Just thinking about it is terrifying!"
"But if the Saiyans' training speed increased after they transformed into Super Saiyans, and they trained furiously against each other in the chamber, then ate Senzu Beans when they got hurt, their battle power would soar even higher. That would explain everything!"
"Mm, it makes perfect sense!"
"Sun Wukong was a low-class warrior, yet his normal-form battle power at Super Saiyan One reached 700 million. I wonder what my normal-form battle power at Super Saiyan One will be!"
Saigo realized he might have uncovered yet another secret of the Saiyans. "It's great that training speed increases! That way, when King Cold arrives in a month or two, or Cooler shows up too, I won't have to worry about being unable to beat them!"
"Ha! The Saiyan race really is incredible!"
"More tomorrow!"
Saigo was brimming with energy. He wanted to rush straight to the Gravity Chamber and train all night.
But on second thought, he decided that balancing work and rest would be more effective. He could only suppress his excitement and try to fall asleep.
Perhaps it was because he had trained so intensely all day. Before long, drowsiness washed over him, and in an instant, his brain shut down and entered sleep mode.
It was time to rest.
