Chapter 6: Their Daily Life Begins

Finally, the weekend is here, and I can play my favorite game again.

My body landed on the expanse of grass, near Kat who was sifting through the remaining supplies. The girl froze, as did her two comrades, who were eating. Manu and Seb had just buried the two bodies that had been in the pod, a bit far from there.

I plucked the cutlet from the curry in Seb's lunchbox, then pressed the play button.

It's too bland for my taste buds. Well, you can't expect much from emergency food.

Just like watching Manu before, I was amused to see Seb confused that his food was missing.

On the other hand, Kat put down the last box of food. Besides the food boxes, there is a first aid box measuring about 30 cm square, a small knife, and a drink bottle with the lid off.

You could say they were lucky. The first aid kit wasn't destroyed.

But for the boxes of food... One, two, three... It's only fifteen. If, for example, each colonist eats two parts in one day, this resource will not even last for three days. If they were forced to eat one serving a day, I don't think they would have enough energy. They still have a lot to do to build this colony.

I have to think of a way so they can provide food for themselves. But what? Hunt? Fishing? Picking fruits?

This game does not always provide information when needed. Maybe this is a challenge from the developer. Okay, I'll accept it.

Kat crouched down and began to treat the wound on her forehead with antiseptic and bandages. Damn, she didn't wince in pain as she cleaned the wound. She is a beast.

It turns out my colonists weren't always dumb and had to be ordered, huh? But why don't you ask someone else for help, Kat?

To treat herself, the girl prefers to look in the mirror behind the lid of the first aid box.

[Maybe you should pay attention to Manu and Seb's chat now. One of them will provide a piece of information. To get to know the world and your colonists better, you need to pay attention to their conversations. Who knows, they might keep important information.]

I turned away from Kat and went over to the two men who were still eating.

"So basically we came to an earth-like planet to establish a community. Earth's population is already overcrowded. However, our huge spaceship had a terrible accident. Whether it hit something or maybe it was attacked by extraterrestrials, I don't know. Anyway, the ship was badly damaged and we had to use escape pods." Seb stuffed his spaghetti into his mouth with a plastic fork. "These escape pods are designed to land close together so we can help each other. But maybe for some reason, those things got separated. The other escape pod I just saw was just Kat's."

Manu nodded. "By the way. This food is very delicious. It turns out that the legend is true. Humans from ships from the sky have 'food from heaven."

The former member of the tribe was indeed cramming his share of bread down that the crumbs fell.

"You said it was delicious? Really?" Seb chuckled. "I can't imagine what it would be like if you ate real food."

"Real food? What do you mean? Are there fake foods?"

"Ah, it might be a little difficult to explain." Seb smiled.

I crouched down and whispered to Seb. "Tell me everything you know about the spaceship you were on."

Instead of answering, Seb just looked around like a lost person.

[Keep in mind, you can't just order them to give out information. You can do that, but not for all information. Except for information that has been told by one of the colonists. You can have them say about it again]

Ah, they asked the players to let the information appear naturally—no problem for me. If too much information is crammed into my brain, I'll be super confused. I better get it little by little.

"Hey, where are you going, Kat?" Seb asked Kat, who had already walked away from the two men.

Kat stopped and lifted the green water bottle she was holding. "I'm going to get some water over there."

The girl pointed to a small river in the distance.

"Oh, okay." Seb answered.

"Be careful, stay aware of your surroundings." Manu added. "Sometimes there are beasts or snakes."

Without another word, Kat continued on her way.

Manu stared at Kat until she was quite a distance away, then leaned a bit toward Seb. "Hey, aren't you worried about that girl's behavior? She's so weird and.... To be honest, I'm a little scared of her."

Seb was silent for a moment. "I know. She seems a bit different from ordinary people.... However, she hasn't done us any harm. And remember, she gave us this foods. Is it appropriate for us to confront her about such a thing? She is our savior."

"So we just let her go?" Manu puts his empty food box on the ground. "You're fine with that?"

Seb shook his head. "That's not what I meant. We still have to be vigilant, but it's better not to do anything if she hasn't done anything bad to us. Under these circumstances, I want to avoid conflict. Well, I know we're new, but to be able to To survive, we must unite."

Manu looked at Kat again, who was crouching by the river. "Well, I don't want anything bad to happen either. I'll keep an eye on her."

I didn't know that the seeds of conflict like this would make things interesting or ruin my colony.

Seb burped, then plopped down onto the grass. "Ah, so full. I want to sleep again."

Meanwhile, Manu yawned while stroking his stomach.

Hey, why are you guys lazing around like this? Ah, I forgot that sometimes they are too dumb, so they must be ordered to do something.

Well, if they're too independent, I won't be playing the game but just watching their daily life.
