I'm Still Young

"I'm sorry. The truth is, I'm not human."

With the powerful proof of a certain black-furred tail, he successfully scared a certain girl stiff.

"Ah!"

Not human? Is he lying? Could he be some other animal transformed? No wonder he's so handsome. No wonder he didn't react even when I was so forward with him—I thought my charm had gone down. But if he's not human, does that mean we can't be together? But he really is so handsome!!!

While Natashi kept struggling in her mind, Kashius covered his face helplessly.

Damn it! I actually had to smear myself like this! Talk about unlucky!

"So you understand now, right? There's no way we can be together. That's also why I've been so indifferent toward you."

Kashius looked solemn as he spoke calmly to the girl.

"B-but why do you have a human appearance? You say you're not human, so are you a spirit transformed? Then... do you eat people???"

Natashi tilted her head and thought about it, feeling more and more that something was off and that there were too many doubts. So she asked Kashius weakly.

Holy crap! Eat people! Miss, your imagination is way too wild. If I ate people, why would I still be standing here chatting with you? I'd just swallow you in one bite and be done with it.

"Uh... I don't eat people... Also, I really was transformed from a monkey, but I'm not a spirit. An immortal gave me a human body." Looking at the utterly confused girl, Kashius thought for a moment, then continued, "The god on Earth. He turned me into a human, gave me wisdom, and gave me unmatched strength."

It seemed a certain young lady still might not be too willing to believe Kashius's words, but the tail behind Kashius forced her to face reality.

If he really was transformed from an animal, then he really can't be with me. But he's so handsome. Maybe, perhaps, probably we can still get married.

A certain young lady still had fantasies in her heart, longing to marry Kashius.

Sigh! The girls on this grassland are way too passionate. We haven't even known each other for a day, and she can already fall for someone? That's terrifying. Still, good thing I have my trump card—the tail!

"Ahem!"

Watching a certain young lady who was still fantasizing, Kashius couldn't help coughing a few times as a reminder.

"So you understand now, right? There's no way we can be together. If you want to blame someone, blame the Guardian of Earth. He was the one who turned me into a human. If you're upset or unhappy, just curse him."

A certain black-furred guy very irresponsibly dumped all the blame on the Guardian of Earth. In any case, that old bastard Guardian of Earth, Piccolo, couldn't beat him anyway.

If he dared come settle the score, I'd teach him how to be a proper person in minutes!

"The Guardian of Earth? I thought you were given a human body by the immortal on Karin Tower."

When Natashi heard the unfamiliar words "Guardian of Earth," confusion rose in her heart. At first, she had always thought Kashius had been granted his body by the immortal on Karin Tower.

The immortal on Karin Tower? Isn't that a certain cat? Could there be some story behind this?

"The immortal on Karin Tower? You wouldn't happen to mean that bean-growing Korin, would you?"

With a trace of puzzlement, Kashius asked Natashi.

Natashi blinked, thought for a moment, then answered in a somewhat adorably dazed way, "Mm, yes. There's always been a legend here that an immortal lives on Karin Tower. But how do you know the immortal on Karin Tower is a cat? Kashius, have you already met the immortal?"

After saying that, Natashi stared closely at Kashius with her beautiful eyes, hoping to get an answer from him.

As for this question, Kashius would definitely answer that he hadn't seen him. However, after hearing Natashi mention a certain cat...

Kashius couldn't help developing the idea of going to Karin Tower. After all, a certain white cat possessed the divine medicine from Dragon Ball—Senzu Beans!

Eat one, and no matter how serious your injuries were, it could heal you. Kashius had experienced this plenty through the plot.

Kashius remembered it seemed to be during the third World Martial Arts Tournament in Dragon Ball. At that time, Kid Goku—ah, no. By then Kid Goku had grown up, so he should be called Adult Goku.

At that time, Adult Goku and Piccolo Jr. fought until both sides suffered heavy losses. Not only were both of them close to death, but Goku's chest had even been blasted open by Piccolo, pierced straight through.

Goku had originally been about to kick the bucket, but after eating the Senzu Bean Yajirobe brought, even though there was a hole in his chest, Goku immediately became lively and energetic, as if nothing had happened.

Also, Senzu Beans played a crucial role in the later battles of Dragon Ball. But because of a certain big fatty, Yajirobe, something that existed in huge quantities was forcibly eaten into becoming a rare item.

Regarding this, Kashius only wanted to say, "Damn fatty, don't let me run into you. Otherwise, if I don't beat you half to death, then I'm not a Saiyan!!!"

It wasn't that Kashius was vicious. It was just that a certain big fatty had gone too far. This was a divine item where eating one meant you didn't need to eat for a week, yet that damn fatty actually ate it into becoming a rare item. Tell me, how could that not make someone angry!

Damn fatty, seriously, you'd better not let me meet you. Otherwise, I'll beat you to death in minutes!

Seeing that Kashius hadn't answered her question for a long time, Natashi couldn't help speaking up.

"Um, Kashius... what are you thinking about? You still haven't answered my question."

Only then was Kashius pulled back to reality by Natashi's voice.

After glancing at her a few times, he said somewhat awkwardly, "Me? Of course I haven't met Korin. But I do plan on paying him a visit."

As he spoke, Kashius's expression grew increasingly heated.

Senzu Beans. For Saiyans, who were born for battle, something this miraculous was no less than a divine artifact.

Besides, that damn fatty hadn't reached Karin Tower yet, so the white cat's stock of Senzu Beans should be huge. Therefore, this time, he absolutely had to take as many as he could. Even if he couldn't take them all, he had to take seventy or eighty percent. He absolutely couldn't let a certain damn fatty benefit.

(At this moment, a certain fatty who was roasting food couldn't help sneezing.)

Uh... at this moment, Kashius also remembered.

The one who brought that damn fatty to Karin Tower seemed to be his own brother, Son Goku.

This was really...

How should he put it? If Kid Goku were here, he definitely wouldn't avoid getting brutally beaten by a certain black-haired someone.

Beside him, Natashi saw that Kashius was ignoring her again, and her little mouth immediately flattened, her face full of grievance.

"Kashius, what's wrong? Why are you spacing out again?"

Uh... seemed like he had spaced out again, huh...

Realizing this, a certain black-haired someone hurriedly snapped back to himself, then looked at the young lady and said solemnly, "Natashi, so, we can't be together. Do you understand?"

When Natashi heard that, her face was immediately filled with the word "dejection." Though she really didn't want to admit it, that was the truth, and there was no room for argument.

So, after leaving those words behind, the young lady decisively got out of the sports car.

"I... I understand. I'm sorry for troubling you."

Sigh, it's not that I don't like you. It's just that... I'm still young...

A certain black-haired boy watched the departing Natashi through the car window and thought with emotion.
