The Reason

"What nonsense are you spouting!? Are you kidding me!?"

Hearing this, even Kast, with his temperament, couldn't help but frown, veins throbbing on his forehead.

"I'm not talking nonsense! And I don't joke around!"

Looking at Kast, Laila withdrew the smile from her face and replied seriously.

"Kast, you might have misunderstood. When I said have a child with me, I just meant you giving me a drop of your blood. I can complete the child-bearing process myself."

As she spoke, Laila's face suddenly flushed, and she said softly.

"If you want it that way, it's not impossible, but you'll have to wait until you grow up. You're still too young."

After speaking, Laila came before Kast, looking at him, who was only up to her chest, she bent down slightly and smiled.

"Enough!"

Unable to bear Laila's words any longer, Kast's forehead veins bulged, and he finally erupted.

"Don't push it too far! Let alone the absurdity of your words! Why should I give you a drop of my blood! And why should I let you create a child with my blood?"

Listening to Kast's words and seeing his angry expression, Laila wagged her finger and said softly.

"Well, because you owe me a favor! Kast, hmm, aren't you curious how I know your name?"

Indeed, Kast was curious how Laila knew his name and was so clear about his previous fight with Frieza. But he hadn't had the time to ask before, and since she brought it up now, Kast didn't interrupt her, letting her continue.

"Well, it's actually very simple. Just touch the thing in your arms, and you'll know."

"In my arms!? I only have Senzu Beans on me and...!"

Suddenly, Kast seemed to understand something. He reached into his arms with his right hand and took out a small box.

He opened the box, and what was inside was revealed under the starlight.

It was a fruit with a red exterior and spiky flesh! It was about the size of his palm!

Looking at this fruit, Kast instantly understood.

"Could it be!?"

Before Kast could finish speaking, the girl beside him blurted out.

"That's right!"

As if sensing Kast's thoughts, Laila continued.

"Fruit of the Tree of Might! It's this fruit. Do you know it originally belonged to me, but you took it all midway!"

"..."

Seeing Kast remain silent, Laila continued.

"You know, the Tree of Might is a divine tree. It cannot survive in the lower realm without a special environment. But have you ever thought about why it survived on that barren planet?"

"Do you think the Tree of Might survived because it absorbed radiation and heat? Well, that's part of the reason, but have you ever considered why the Tree of Might appeared in that place?"

Listening to Laila's question, Kast fell silent for a moment, as this was also a question that had puzzled him before.

Seeing Kast's silence, Laila smiled slightly and continued.

"The reason is actually very simple. It's because of me. I brought the seed of this Tree of Might from the Divine Realm, and I planted it there. Do you know how much effort I put into making it survive and grow? But I never expected that just after I went out for a little while, you picked its fruit."

Even though she said this, Laila didn't seem angry.

"Even so, I don't blame you. Because it was precisely because you picked this fruit that I knew of your existence. Your existence truly surprised me, you know!?"

Coming before Kast, Laila couldn't help but show an excited and happy expression.

"So you've been tracking me all along! Or that Divine Realm you mentioned! Could it be that you!?"

Looking at the excited Laila before him, Kast's heart gradually sank. Kast hadn't noticed her presence at all during this time, and perhaps he only discovered her now because she wanted to reveal herself and wasn't hiding, which allowed him to find her.

Moreover, from Laila's words, Kast had obtained a piece of information that made something he had previously thought incredible resurface in his mind.

Laila, who was excited beside him, heard Kast's question and, without any intention of hiding anything, directly said.

"Of course. Do you think I would let a thief who took my things go?"

Rolling her eyes, Laila continued.

"Honestly, I was originally planning to find out who took my fruit and eliminate them directly. But then I saw you. I felt immense potential from you. And!"

Saying this, Laila stared intently at Kast, scanning his entire body.

"I can hardly imagine that you, a mortal, could eat so many Fruits of the Tree of Might. You know, even I can't eat this much."

As she spoke, Laila became even more excited.

"It wasn't until I followed you that I learned many things. The warrior race, Saiyan, Super Saiyan! The legendary strongest warrior!"

The more Laila spoke, the lower Kast's heart sank. However, he also felt a bit fortunate that he had never revealed his rebirth.

"Do you know! I've been searching for the strongest warrior! But I never found one until I met you! I felt a tremendous potential from your body! Your strength is far beyond your current level! I believe! Given some time, you will definitely become much stronger than you are now!"
