Chapter 15: Casual Chat

Leva hid behind a large rock by the river. I didn't follow the girl and chose to press the fast-forward button. I'm not going to watch that woman do her own thing. I'm not a freak.

I fast-forward for a while, and I see that Leva has shifted a few meters from where she was, washing her body in the river.

Well, if it's like this, I like it. Nothing beats the sight of a woman wet in the open, under the morning sun.

Welp, that sentence feels wrong.

The girl winced in pain as she rubbed her body. So, since yesterday she put on a tough face and didn't moan in pain.

While I was still enjoying the view, Kat came in with her water bottle. The two women's eyes met, but Kat said nothing.

I thought the black-haired girl would just fill her bottle and leave. However, she took off her bra instead, making her plump assets even more visible to my eyes.

I held my breath when I saw that peerless beauty. Especially when Kat started to pull down her panties. In the real world, maybe I already need a respirator.

The developer of this game knows how to create beauty.

Kat entered the river, started cleaning herself with her back to Leva. Leva narrowed her eyes at her new friend. Apparently, the former slave was surprised by Kat's cold behavior.

Leva scratched her hair, then sat down on the flat rock in the middle of the river. With her whole body gleaming with water droplets on her skin and hair that looked thin from being wet, she lifted one of her legs up to the rock. That way of sitting is not at all graceful, but I won't complain. All women have their own style, and they are all beautiful in my eyes.

"Hey, what about those two friends of yours? Have they done anything indecent to you, Humongous Breasts?" Leva asked.

I laughed, even though it was vulgar.

"My name is Kat." Of course, Kat looked at Leva without changing her blank expression. "So far, they haven't done anything, they just stared at my body."

"Even if it's just a poke?" Leva raised an eyebrow.

Kat shook her head, then turned her back to the red-haired girl again, continuing her cleaning.

Leva sneered. "Well, I'm worried that they might be too eager to put their dick in my hole. After all, they--especially that guy named Seb--were really excited to buy me yesterday when they could have gotten more useful stuff with those clothes. You guys are still a small group. Buying food is more important than adding mouth to feed."

A question popped into my head. I dove into the river and came over to Kat. Weird. I could feel the water flow, including the cold sensation. However, I didn't feel wet at all.

"Are those clothes really that valuable?" Kat asked, of course, after I gave the order.

"Of course!" Leva laughed as she spread her arms. "The proof is that those things are enough to trade for a human like me! And the only bonus is potato seeds!"

Kat didn't respond and instead turned her back to the red-haired woman again. Apparently, she didn't care about the answer to my question.

Leva was already gritting her teeth and clenching her fists. Her eyes narrowed at Kat. The woman was clearly about to shriek in anger, but she chose to sigh and jump off the rock instead.

"Well, if you guys are really good people, I'd like to have a role. Unfortunately, you guys don't have pickaxes to mine." Leva mumbled.

Ah, you can do something before my colony gets a pickaxe, Leva.

I gave some instructions to the woman. Only she can do this. The other three colonists already had their respective duties.

Leva rose to the ground, flicking her hair, hands, and body to drop the water droplets. Extraordinary. She seemed to be doing an interesting dance with her beautiful naked body.

But I'm worried. I hope you don't catch a cold with a wet body like that. No towels or substitutes to dry yourself off.

"I'll look for milk twigs and broad leaves. You guys seem to need those things, don't you?" Leva spoke in a flat tone. "Please tell your two friends."

Kat just nodded, then went back to her own business. Leva had opened her mouth, perhaps to comment on Kat's attitude, but in the end, she shrugged and chose to walk away.

Once she was so far away from Kat, Leva stroked her body and shuddered. "Huh, what kind of tribe doesn't have clothes for its new members?"

I see. Leva wasn't comfortable being completely naked like that, but she just didn't want to show it to the others. And even so, she refused Seb's clothes because that man would be naked if she accepted. You are so selfless, Leva.

Covering her chest with her hands, Leva continued to walk along the immense expanse of meadow, occasionally taking a glance between the hills, boulders, and trees. Several times I did fast forward. However, she has not yet found what she was looking for. She only met wild animals such as squirrels, running deer, monitor lizards the size of a human arm, and several types of insects.

Hmmm... It looks like this spot is suitable for hunting. I don't want Kat to kill the bunny again.

I stared at my colony, and I couldn't see them anymore. Maybe we've gone too far. Should we just go back? If there were fierce beasts, Leva would be in trouble. She couldn't ask for help, and she needed to run a long distance to her colony. She could be attacked first before getting there.

I was about to whisper my order into Leva's ear. However, noticing that the girl's expression had become slightly overjoyed, I backed off.

She approached a plant with many small gray branches. The plant was only as tall as an adult's chest.

Texts appear above that small leafy tree.

[milk twig]

Ah, that's the plant that Manu mentioned back then. He said this could be processed into ropes. Great. This will help my plans to build a better shelter.

Leva began to pluck the branches of the plant. Perhaps, because her plant stat wasn't high, the girl was a little troubled. He had to twist the branch several times until it broke. Sometimes she cursed in annoyance.

I fast-forwarded the scene until finally, Leva had plucked enough branches.

I whispered. "I think that's enough. If you take too much, this plant can die. We still need it. Now, you go back to..."

I stopped what I was saying when I noticed the girl's brow furrowed. She then looked at a spot a few meters away from her.
