"Given this situation, Lord Vegeta, would you consider taking me with you? I know my abilities are ordinary, but I am willing to serve you with all my heart, handling any trivial matters that come your way!" Saeko said with earnest determination.
As Vegeta was about to instruct the others to leave, Saeko gathered her courage and made her request. Her words caught Vegeta off guard, and Saya, Rei, and the others were equally shocked, never expecting Saeko to say something like this.
After a moment of silence, Vegeta quickly regained his composure. In truth, it wasn't entirely surprising that Saeko would say such a thing, especially since he had helped her come to terms with her inner turmoil before. Although Saeko appeared strong, kind, and gentle on the outside—a pillar of support for those around her—inside, she struggled with a dark desire for bloodshed and violence.
Raised to value goodness and restraint, Saeko feared her own violent urges. But under Vegeta's influence, witnessing his decisive and ruthless actions, she began to reconcile with her darker emotions. One night, she approached Vegeta to confide in him, and through his understanding, she found peace with her inner conflict. This led her to embrace her true nature, which only deepened her admiration and feelings for Vegeta.
"In that case, show me your resolve," Vegeta finally replied after a moment of contemplation. "If you can survive the next two years and maintain this resolve, I will consider your request."
Saeko's determined expression did not waver. Vegeta's words gave her hope, and she nodded eagerly. Vegeta had already learned from Takeshi Kyoyama that it was possible to form a contract with characters from these parallel worlds. Aside from the basic servant-master contract he had used with Takeshi, there were other types, such as mid-level, high-level, equality contracts, and even life contracts, all of which could be used with characters in these worlds. However, these contracts had stricter requirements than those between Reincarnators.
In addition to mutual consent, the character's loyalty had to reach a certain threshold, with different contracts requiring different levels of loyalty. Currently, Vegeta had no contract scrolls, and given the circumstances, it wasn't feasible to bring Saeko back to the main world with him. Thus, he proposed the two-year condition.
Additionally, it's worth noting that once Vegeta and the others completed a quest in a parallel world, it wouldn't be destroyed or cease to exist. Instead, it would continue to operate normally, with its time flowing at the same rate as the main world—1:1. These parallel worlds were genuine realities, only partially invaded by the Reincarnation Space. These worlds could be invaded again in the future. There were even parallel versions of these worlds where different Reincarnators might enter with entirely separate timelines, and the worlds would have no connection to one another.
"Two years… I will do everything I can to survive and wait for you," Saeko said with a bright, confident smile, her resolve solidified by Vegeta's promise.
"I look forward to it," Vegeta responded, a satisfied smile appearing on his face as he admired Saeko's determination.
For the next few hours, at Saeko's request, Vegeta spent time with her. As the countdown to the end of their time together approached its final minutes, Saeko, despite her reluctance to part, tearfully bid farewell to Vegeta.
"Lord Vegeta, when we return, please look for me in the Reincarnation Hall, or contact me when we are back in the main world. I will always be at your service," Takeshi Kyoyama quietly said to Vegeta as he watched their farewell.
"Lord Vegeta, I am also at your service. Whatever you need in the future, I will do my utmost to fulfill it," Kono, the salaryman, said with a fawning expression, trying to curry favor with Vegeta.
Kono wasn't stupid. From what he had learned from Takeshi, the Reincarnation Space was brutal, and having someone powerful to rely on was invaluable. Therefore, he made sure to show his flattery to Vegeta.
"Thank you, Lord Vegeta, for all your help this time. I will never forget it," Miko said, her gaze toward Vegeta filled with complex emotions.
Miko was conflicted about Vegeta. On one hand, she disliked his domineering and unreasonable ways. On the other hand, she was grateful for the pressure and help he had provided.
From what Takeshi had told her, it was common for new Reincarnators to earn between three thousand to eight thousand points in their first mission. Earning over ten thousand points was considered exceptional, making one a top-tier novice Reincarnator. Scoring thirty thousand points or more was a mark of an elite.
For those earning less than three thousand points, survival without assistance or extraordinary luck was rare beyond the first three missions. And while thirty thousand points might not seem impressive at first glance, it became clearer upon reflection.
If they hadn't encountered Vegeta during this novice mission and only had Takeshi—a Reincarnator barely out of his novice phase—whether they could have survived peacefully was doubtful.
