Chapter 191: Swimming Again

In the end, Gwen isn't completely naked as she walks towards the lake. She was forced to wear her underwear because, after that confrontation, she got her period.

No wonder his emotions are unstable like that.

"Ack!!!" Gwen staggered as her leg was hit by the cart pushed by Eric. "What did I do wrong, Eric!? You've hit my leg three times!"

"Oh, sorry." Eric walked ahead without looking at Gwen at all.

Gwen snorted while rubbing her calves, then chose to walk a bit away from the group.

Why are you so jerk, Eric?

I decided to order Leva to ask, and at the same time, gave a command to Eric to tell what made him like that.

"So, why do you like doing stupid things to Gwen, Eric?" Leva, who is now lining up the man, asked. "Before this, Gwen had told me everything."

"Aren't you like that too, Leva? Hell, you twisted one of that woman's breasts 180 degrees, you know."

Leva scratched her head. "That's right... Well, I feel compelled to ask like this... You know, the way we usually feel."

It's because you're a woman, Leva. As a fellow woman, you might be annoyed that Gwen flaunts her body and flirts with everyone.

Eric sighed. "Remember the three perverted girls who chased me in Redtooth?"

Leva raised an eyebrow. "Okay... What do they have to do with all this?"

"They remind me of three women who have been 'teasing' me since I was a little kid."

Leva's eyes opened wider. "Teasing? Is that...."

"Well, they didn't end up doing that to me or anything, but they still traumatized me." Eric shook his head. "They've always thought I was cute and made fun of me. And to make matters worse, the people of Congraylham found it funny and laughed when I was being bullied."

"That's terrible." Leva grimaced.

I could hear the sad tone in Eric's voice.

"Only my mother and sister always help me, but sometimes those three bitches take me to a hidden place to 'play' with me." Eric smiled bitterly. "In the end, there was an internal conflict within the colony. Several people broke away, including the three women. They almost took me, but luckily their efforts were thwarted by my mother and several others."

Leva lightly touched Eric's shoulder. "Surely you feel relieved after they're gone, right?"

"At first." Eric slightly looked up at the sky. "But then they appeared in my nightmare. I was afraid they would come into my room and do something like that... And it wasn't easy."

I have a feeling that Eric is covering up part of the story. Perhaps the three women did more than this man said.

Leva was silent for a moment. "So, when you see a flirty girl like Gwen, you..."

"I like seeing evil." Eric's tone grew colder and colder. "Well, actually, I've been able to get through all that. One of the people who played a big role in my recovery besides my family was Emma...."

Eric cleared his throat, then fell silent. Leva did not continue her question. There's no way she's talking about Eric's girlfriend, who died at the hands of one of my colonists.

"However, meeting that crazy woman in Redtooth reminded me of my trauma... Well, you could say I remember the past." Eric continued his speech.

"I'm sorry to hear that."

"By the way, thank you." This time what formed on Eric's lips was a faint smile. "I don't know why I'm telling you this. Even before this, I couldn't talk to my father. Now a weight has been lifted inside of me a bit."

"You're welcome, I guess?" Leva grimaced again. "You do realize, what I do is just ask and listen?"

"You're a good listener, Leva." Eric widened his smile.

"Ah, good, then." Leva smiled back. "If there's something you want to talk about, I'll always be there to listen. We're friends, Eric."

Since I don't think there's anything important going on after that, I speed up the gameplay. In a matter of minutes, we've arrived at our destination. My colonists passed the escape pod that had carried Gwen, then stopped by the lake.

"Great." Gwen spread her arms, looking annoyed. "I forgot to bring spare panties and tampons to use after getting out of the water."

"Well, it looks like there are some plants with leaves that are often used for periods." Leva looked around. "Those leaves can be piled up and tied to your pussy... Well, it does feel a little itchy, though."

"Not to mention the possible irritation because I've never used it." Gwen sighed, then massaged her forehead. "Sorry, I've been an asshole the last few hours."

"Well, it's normal for us, right?" Leva shrugged. "You're not like Kat, who has the same expression all the time."

Kat didn't respond, while the dog just tilted its head at the three women.

Eric and Miro got to work collecting clay while Gwen started stretching.

"Ah, I want to go swimming too." Sitting on the grass, Leva cupped her cheeks in her palms. "But, I didn't bring a change of clothes."

"Then, swim naked." Gwen held one leg up high.

Leva sneered. "I'm not like you, Gwen. Well, I used to be completely naked for a few days, but that's enough for me. I don't want my pussy to be seen by the whole world all the time."

Gwen chuckled a little. "Why? Don't you feel free without clothes? And aren't you proud when others see your beautiful body?"

"Your brain isn't normal."

After taking a deep breath, Gwen entered the water slowly, then stopped when her feet reached her knees. She looked around for a moment with a tense face. Since there was nothing that caught her attention, she started swimming.

The men continued to do their jobs while Leva and Kat stood guard by the lake. Leva chose to lie on the grass while Kat played with her dog.

Several minutes passed without any significant event, even until Eric and Miro finished their work, sitting next to Leva.

Gwen was still swimming.

Leva yawned. "Will this work?"

"We can only wait." Miro gulped.

However, Gwen ultimately chose to return to the shore.

"Looks like this won't work." Gwen walked up to her friend with wet hair and body. Her light purple panties were transparent with water and exposed her private parts.

Miro got up. "No, not yet…"

Rex's loud bark towards the lake cut Miro's words. There were quite large splashes approaching.
