Chapter 215 - 215 – The Minds

"Goodbye, My Love." Re'i, who pressed his forehead against Gwen's, smiled.

"Ah, I'm going to miss you too during these two weeks." Gwen did smile too, but I felt the smile wasn't as sincere as it used to be.

"Are they crying?" Leva raised an eyebrow, looking at the mermans standing by the lake. Some of the half-fish creatures did look like they were crying, but I couldn't see their tears.

Of course, the inside of their helmets was filled with water.

"Ah, after this, I don't have to use my feet like this anymore." Re'i chuckled. "It's very uncomfortable. You'll understand how great the tail we are used to is!"

Gwen smiled, then rubbed her future husband's cheek. Re'i pulled away from Gwen, kissed her lips, then backed away, waving his hand. Gwen waved her hand back.

The king also waved his hand to my other colonists, who also waved.

One of the female mermans who used to accompany Kat's rescue mission came to Miro with a red face and a shy gesture. She handed the big man a pile of boxed food that contained pink gooey.

Miro just grimaced, accepting the food that had made him vomit.

Gwen continued to smile even as the mermans were already splashing in the lake, leaving the place. The blonde-haired woman's smile finally disappeared after the lake water calmed down.

Leva took a step forward. "Are you sure about all this?"

Gwen turned around, shaking her head weakly. "The idea that I'll have to eat fish for the rest of my life makes me uncomfortable."

I could see that the woman's eyes were teary.

"Gwen...." Kat approached the blonde woman and hugged her. It made my colonists gasp except for Peter, Tom, and Yvonne. The new members were surprised by the other's behavior instead.

"Hmmm? What's wrong, Kat? You don't usually do things like this." Gwen hugged the amber-eyed woman back.

"Why? Why are you doing this to me? Why are you sacrificing yourself to save someone you haven't known for long like me?" Even though her expression was blank, Kat's voice started to sound hoarse. Her eyes have also been coated with a clear liquid.

"Sacrifice sounds too much. In the end, I'm still alive. I'm just changing habitats." Gwen chuckled. "And is there really something wrong with helping people? It's not just you that is being helped, right? You could say this is our victory together."

Kat was speechless and hugged her colony friend tighter.

"So, the holes were made by Ash Digging Centipedes, right?" Tom squeaked, biting a piece of jerky. My colonists were around the bonfire that night, having dinner. "Hey, this is good. It's salty and savory."

Yvonne studied the jerky she had just bitten. "There's a salt cave around here? Did you guys mine it? Had you guys gone crazy?"

"That's a long story." Manu smiles.

"My former Tribe knew about the cave and mined it." Leva shrugged with a sneer. "And what happened next... Well, it was a nightmare. Many people died, including my own little sister."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Yvonne grimaced. "I must have opened up bad memories for you."

"Biruhuds, stump scorpions, digging centipedes, and other monsters." Peter took a sip of the bottle of wine he had brought from his former group. "All of that is terrible, but they are inferior to humans. Especially if they are exhibitionists. They often give me nightmares when suddenly showing their dick in front of me."

"Then you are afraid of me?" Gwen suddenly took off her shirt, showing her two breasts.

Peter immediately glared at the woman while Yvonne covered her husband's eyes with her hands.

Shit. It seems that the conversation about exhibitionists should be limited. It will only trigger Gwen's tendencies.

"Wow." Peter drank his wine again.

Is it appropriate to show your assets to just anyone, Gwen? Look at this asshole creepy look.

"Well, you're a woman, so things are different," Peter smirked as he continued to stare at Gwen's two assets. "I would be delighted if you flashed in front of me as often as possible."

I asked Gwen to put her clothes back on but failed. Leva and Kat seemed unwilling to do anything, perhaps because Gwen had done a great job. Even so, Leva looked irritated and brutally chewed on her jerky.

Only Eric took the initiative to do something. He threw something at Gwen, causing that woman to flinch and squirm.

"Kyaaa!!! What is this!? This thing is crawling on my body!" After saying that, a lizard was thrown from Gwen's body and ran really fast.

"Eric!" Gwen snapped, but Eric looked away.

"Well, why don't you do what the girls in my former group did? How about you stay naked all the time." Peter chuckled.

"Ugh." Yvonne snorted. "Don't bring that up, Pete. That's gross, you know."

Peter just smiled and drank his wine for the third time.

"Without torture, I can say that your group is heaven, Peter. Imagine if I was there, I could be naked as I wished! However, here, many people are against my will!"

Gwen glanced at me.

"Gwen?" Leva called out in a low voice. "Do you need to talk? We can both get out of here if you want."

A wide smile appeared on Gwen's face. The woman shook her head. "No, Leva."

"Are you sure?" Kat added.

Ah, Gwen's behavior is indeed a little strange.

"I'm sure." Gwen sighed, then stood up. "Oh, I'm going to the toilet."

Everyone's eyes were on Gwen, who kept walking away bare-chested. Except for Seb, who just looked down in silence.

Eric glanced at his father's food, which was still untouched. "What's wrong, Seb? Why aren't you eating?

Like Gwen, Seb got up too, picking up a burning log as a torch. Eric's father said in a trembling voice. "I want to be alone… Just for a moment."

When Seb was out of sight, Leva asked Eric. "No luck, huh?"

"I don't know what else to do." Eric drank from a clay cup. "That way of thinking is too extreme. I know that's what made him, but..."

Eric shook his head in frustration.
