Back To Normal Or Almost?! Reunion On The Kame House

Footsteps could be audible enough of the man whose stance relaxed at the sight of the Kame House; it had truly been some time ever since the man had actually been there, for about more than a half a year but he was glad that he had finally got to see his old house again. It was really a joy for his eyes, but most important was what happened shortly after. As the male had only silently decided to approach the house, to prevent too much noise and all so he thought he’d just go ahead and see if he could surprise them or something.

It could be fun!

But everything happened on its own, as by the window, walked the Zoanthrophe that had originally trained the current Turtle Hermit; he was truly a man that had taught Corn a lot and that the black-haired male had learned to care for as a figure that was a step above him not in a hierarchy but authority, almost like a fatherly figure or perhaps master! And the master halted in his steps as he refused to believe that what he had just caught a glimpse of was real, for him not to get overly disappointed later but as his small form slowly turned and could see the full view of the Earthling Saiyan, he could not help but gasp.

“K-kid is that you?!”

The Earthling Saiyan smirked and lifted a hand up in his trademark greeting.

“Yo!”

The old man immediately tried to step up the window and climb down of it, although he slipped and fell down for a short moment, he quickly got up and approached the male with a surprised expression.

“I can’t believe it. You are actually alive! How is this possible?”

The Turtle Hermit giggled at the scene until he nodded. “Yeah, it’s a long story, though, but—”

His voice was once more cut off by the noise of the door sliding open as a shocked Kabocha stood on the other end with wide eyes, staring down at her dad. She stuttered, unable to say the slightest word until she broke down into tears. The old, small Zoan stepped aside and let the two have a full sight of each other until Kabocha broke down in tears and made a ran towards Cornatto, eventually bumping into his torso as she cried out a river, each one of her groans expressed pain but also her joy that she once more felt the warmth of her fatherly figure, whose reaction was pretty clueless at first but he immediately stole an embrace as he tightened his arms around her and pressed her head against his torso.

“C’mon, Kabo, you’re too old for this, haha! But I missed you, really.”

He rubbed her back ever so slightly until she finally pulled away.

“A-are you going to stay?”

“Huh? Of course, I am! I am alive again, hehe, how about we go and snatch something for a snack? There are lots I wanna tell you about!”

Kabocha nodded her agreement as the two made their way inside the Kame House, and then, it would only be a matter of time before the Tournament of Power would start.
