Heading to the Temple

Buy fish? For Kashius, that was as simple as it got. With his speed, it was only a matter of an hour or two. In fact, it would not even take an hour.

Uh... after a certain black-haired guy spent ten thousand and bought a pile of fish, he successfully delivered Mutu Peak to Korin.

"I'm saying, I've already done what you asked. So you should keep your promise too and give this guy some guidance."

Kashius leaned against a pillar and spoke indifferently.

A certain cat was currently eating fish with utter delight, leaving the prairie boy Mutu Peak completely dumbstruck.

He had never imagined that the immortal he revered so highly would actually be like this. It was truly far beyond his expectations.

"Kashius, that won't be a problem," Korin replied.

"That's good. Oh, right, Korin. I heard you have Senzu Beans here that let people go several days without eating after eating one, and can even heal injuries?"

At that moment, Kashius voiced the thought he had hidden in his heart for a long time.

"Oh, Senzu Beans? Yes, I do have them. They're in the jars in the storage room over there. If you want some, just take them yourself."

Korin had clearly been conquered by the fish and no longer had time to bother with Kashius. He casually pointed somewhere and let Kashius go look for them on his own.

Kashius did not mind either. He walked toward the place Korin had pointed out as if this were his own home.

Mutu Peak, on the other hand, had been trembling ever since he arrived here, not saying a word. He only sat there stupidly on a stool by himself; there was no trace left of the free-spirited, unyielding prairie boy he had once been.

Right now, he was like a mouse that had seen a cat. He was probably scared silly.

After arriving at the basement where the Senzu Beans were stored, Kashius saw several large jars.

Obviously, these had to be the jars holding the Senzu Beans.

He walked over and opened a lid. Immediately, an indescribable, elusive fragrance drifted into Kashius's nose.

After carefully observing them, the Senzu Beans in these jars added together probably numbered at least several hundred thousand.

It was truly hard to imagine that Senzu Beans, which became so rare in the later stages of Dragon Ball that they could not be any rarer, actually existed in such quantity now.

Kashius was overjoyed. He picked up a nearby sack and started loading them in. No need for words—act first.

Before long, after filling two jars' worth, Kashius stopped. This stuff only needed to be enough for use; too much would actually be a bit troublesome.

And as it happened, what this young master feared most was trouble.

Carrying the sack on his back, Kashius walked while thinking, Does this stuff have a shelf life? Will it expire? What if it expires and loses its effect?

"You really aren't polite at all, Kashius." At that moment, a certain cat's voice entered Kashius's ears.

Kashius glanced at Korin calmly and said in an even tone, "You aren't using these things anyway. It's fine if I take a little more. I imagine you won't mind, right, Korin~!"

By the end, a certain black-haired guy's expression gradually turned sinister as he looked at a certain cat with ill intent.

"Well, of course. Aren't they just some Senzu Beans from a while ago? I don't care, of course. I'm not using them anyway. If you want more in the future, just come take them."

Korin clearly did not think much of it and replied blandly.

When Kashius saw Korin's reaction, he thought about it and understood.

That was true. For a cat who stayed in the tower all day, Senzu Beans really did not serve much purpose. Here, at most, they were just food that could fill his stomach.

"Um, Korin, will these Senzu Beans spoil or expire?" At that moment, Kashius asked somewhat awkwardly.

"Well, you don't need to worry about that. They'll be fine even if you leave them for several dozen years."

"That's good." After receiving Korin's answer, Kashius immediately let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

If they spoiled and expired, what use would taking so many Senzu Beans be? It would only add so much burden for nothing and create so much trouble.

"Hey, I'm saying, Mutu Peak! At least say something. Don't just sit there by yourself all the time. Can't you see a certain cat is here? Have some manners, will you?" At that moment, Kashius suddenly said.

When Mutu Peak, who was sitting off to the side, heard this, he was not stupid, so he immediately understood what Kashius meant. He hurriedly ran over in front of Korin and knelt down, then knocked his head on the ground several times. His mouth kept calling out, "Master."

And after a few seconds, a certain prairie boy continued, "Master, your disciple knows dozens of ways to cook fish, and each one has a different flavor. So please, Master, accept me as your disciple and guide my training."

Nice, not stupid. He still knows how to handle people. But, young man, do you really know dozens of ways to cook fish? Why do I feel like that lie is full of holes? Silently giving Mutu Peak a thumbs-up in his heart, Kashius began thinking about himself. Since he had come here, should he go up and take a look at the Guardian of Earth? Take a look at this "King Piccolo."

After thinking about it, Kashius still decided to go up and visit the Guardian of Earth. He would ask him to guide him a little in martial arts knowledge, and then go see the pitch-black Popo.

One had to know that when Kashius used to watch Dragon Ball, he had been very curious about Popo, this strangely dressed, extremely dark, and extremely distinctive character.

So now that he had arrived in Dragon Ball and had even reached Karin Tower, no matter what, he had to go up and take a look at this pitch-black fellow.

It was hard to imagine that after Mutu Peak said he knew dozens of ways to cook fish, a certain cat immediately agreed, with no integrity whatsoever, to accept him as his disciple and guide his training.

At that moment, Kashius suddenly remembered that there was also Ultra Divine Water here. He was considering whether or not to drink a little of it, but after thinking it over briefly, Kashius decided he should first make up for his lack of martial arts knowledge.

In any case, the Ultra Divine Water was not going anywhere. What was there to be afraid of?

"Korin, since I've already come here, no matter what, I'd like to go see our Earth's Guardian of Earth. After all, I still haven't met him," Kashius said.

"What? Didn't you say you were created by the Guardian of Earth? How can you say you haven't met him?" At that moment, Mutu Peak, standing beside Korin, cut in first and asked.

"Oh, I know. That must have been a lie you told to get rid of my little sister. You're actually human, right?" Mutu Peak paused, then said in sudden realization.

"That's right. Anyway, you can't go back now, so what can you do about it?" After glaring fiercely at Mutu Peak a few times, Kashius then looked back at Korin, waiting for his answer.

"I understand. I'll pass on word that you want to visit," Korin nodded and said.

"Then thank you for that. I'll head off first." After receiving Korin's reply, Kashius carried the sack on his back and flew upward at extreme speed.

Damn it! Looks like I really have to ask Bulma for a few Hoi-Poi Capsules. This sack is way too troublesome! It's such a pain, and it ruins my image too. Seriously!

Looking at the sack full of Senzu Beans behind him, black lines practically shot across Kashius's forehead.
