With Talot's intervention, the awkward atmosphere dissipated, and Korin was finally relieved.
At least Gine and Salari were no longer pressing him like they did earlier, as if they wanted to know everything about him.
After a few exchanges, they finally introduced themselves to Korin and got acquainted.
Taking this opportunity, Talot started making his own plans.
The reason he came here was simple: to get Senzu Beans!
In the Dragon Ball world, there's nothing more extraordinary than this, not even the Dragon Balls themselves.
This is also a treasure unique to Earth, unlike the Dragon Balls, which were created by the Namekians.
But how was he going to get his hands on the Senzu Beans?
He couldn't just ask for it outright—after all, how would he explain knowing about them?
'Grumble~~!!!'
After chatting for a while, while the group was enjoying the scenery from the top of Korin Tower, Salari's tummy suddenly growled.
Feeling her stomach grumbling in hunger, Salari's face immediately flushed, and she playfully stuck her tongue out at Talot and Gine.
"Aunt Gine, Brother Talot, I'm hungry. Let's head back to the Lookout to eat."
Salari's adorable honesty made Gine nod in agreement as she turned to look at Talot.
Talot had no choice but to nod as well. "True, we've barely eaten anything today. We should have grabbed a meal in West City before returning."
As soon as he finished speaking, Talot turned toward Korin, preparing to say something, though he wasn't sure how to bring it up.
But suddenly, Korin spoke up on his own: "I don't have much here to offer you, but if you're hungry, I do have something that can take away your hunger."
As Korin finished speaking, he quickly walked to the side, picked up a large jar, and opened it. From inside, he pulled out a few Senzu Beans: "These are Senzu Beans I've carefully cultivated. Just one of these can keep a person from feeling hungry for ten days."
As Korin finished his explanation, Talot's heart skipped a beat.
What the f*uck! He got them just like that?
It turns out he had been overthinking and wasting energy on his wild ideas.
Gine and Salari glanced at each other and took the Senzu Bean from Korin, examining them closely.
"They can keep you from feeling hungry for ten days? Are these tiny beans really that miraculous?" Salari asked in disbelief.
"Are you sure this is true?" Gine had never seen such strange beans before.
Though she didn't really doubt it—after all, they had encountered many strange things since coming to Earth.
Since dragon balls, which could grant wishes, have already appeared, having Senzu Beans that could satisfy hunger wasn't too surprising.
Besides, the Saiyans themselves had a special Saibamen seed—though they weren't for eating, they were also small beans with very different functions.
"You'll know once you try it," Korin said with a proud look on his face.
Hearing that, Talot took the initiative to eat a Senzu Bean.
After all, he knew its effects, so there was no need to fear that it might be poisonous.
Seeing him eat it, Salari and Gine also quickly ate their Senzu Bean.
As soon as the Senzu Bean entered her stomach, the hunger that Salari had been feeling suddenly vanished, replaced by a strong sense of fullness.
At the same time, both Talot and Gine felt a surge of energy, washing away their fatigue.
"Talot, Salari, how do you two feel?" Gine asked, looking at them both.
"Aunt Gine, I'm not just full—I feel like I'm bursting with energy. These beans are amazing!" Salari was amazed at the effects of the Senzu Bean after experiencing it firsthand.
Talot nodded along, pretending to be amazed. "This Senzu Bean is truly remarkable. It not only stops hunger but also has the effect of restoring stamina."
"No wonder you are powerful; you noticed it after just eating just one bean. That's right, the Senzu Bean not only gives you a feeling of fullness, but even if you're gravely injured, just eating one will heal you instantly," Korin said proudly, explaining the other effects of the Senzu Bean.
In truth, he hadn't intended to reveal this.
But since they had figured it out, there was no point in hiding it anymore.
He had brought out the Senzu Bean because he felt that since they had come in good faith, as the host, he should offer them something.
"It can also heal injuries?!" Gine looked shocked.
This small Earth was becoming more and more fascinating.
She wondered what other astonishing things might still be out there.
"I seem to have underestimated the Senzu Bean. To cultivate something this miraculous, you are certainly an immortal worthy of respect. I wonder if you could give us some of these Senzu Beans. If you have any needs, feel free to tell me, or I can also offer something in exchange," Talot said to Korin.
Building a good relationship was exactly what Korin had in mind.
For the past few days, he had been observing Talot and his companions' whereabouts.
If he hadn't confirmed that they were not evil, he would never have offered the Senzu Beans.
"Giving you some is no problem. While Senzu Beans are difficult to cultivate, I've managed to stockpile a huge amount over the centuries," Korin said as he led the three of them down to the lower level of Korin Tower.
Here, Korin stored the Senzu Beans he had cultivated, about twenty jars in total.
When he opened one of the jars, it was visibly packed to the brim. Without counting, it was clear that each jar contained at least several hundred to a thousand beans.
So many Senzu Beans!
At that moment, Talot felt even more that a certain fatty deserved to die.
He knew how precious the Senzu Beans were, yet they were eaten like snacks and wasted.
Though he was angry, Talot couldn't show it.
Now that he has arrived on this world's Earth, especially in this era, he absolutely had to prevent such things from happening.
In the future, when that time comes, he will have to keep an eye on Yajirobe.
"These small jars contain Senzu Beans, with each jar holding about five hundred beans. Feel free to take one. If you ever need more in the future, you can come back here. But next time, if you could bring me some fish, that would be great. As you can see, up here on the tower, we don't have much, and I rarely get fresh resources…"
Hearing this, Talot was surprised at how generous Korin was.
Even though he had a request, it was something simple and not a big deal.
"Thank you, Korin," Talot said, expressing his gratitude.
Compared to a certain Namekian Kami, Korin was much more generous.
"No-No need to thank me," Korin said, waving his hand in a polite manner.
Suddenly, Korin's expression changed drastically, as if he had seen something terrifying. He quickly tried to shout to stop it, but it was already too late.
Talot and Gine looked over to the side and saw Salari, curious about what was in one of the larger jars, lifting the lid.
Before anyone could react, Salari was sucked into the jar by a force from inside.
Talot and Gine were both startled and quickly ran over.
Obtaining the Senzu Beans just like that?
