Chapter 70: Leaving Tyl, But...!

Out of all the crewmates, Roka was the one to have gotten the least amount of sleep.

That much was necessary to clear her thoughts and keep them from straying. The others could, somewhat, afford it. But as the Commander, she couldn’t.

“M-Mooorning.” Liz said as she yawned.

Raya was so tired she didn’t say anything.

“What’s up with them?” Rea asked. “Now’s not the time to be tired.”

“Right?” Roka shook her head at them. “We’re preparing to depart soon, so get your head out of your asses. The two of you.”

“O...Kay...” Liz yawned again. All that Raya could muster was a tired sigh.

As the Commander, Roka needed to keep her thoughts clear.

And as the Commander, she also couldn’t let anyone know that she was tired or that she hadn’t slept much.

None could have guessed that just two hours before, Roka’s body was covered with her own sweat and fluids and that her disheveled hair was so messy it covered her face.

She looked perfectly tidy. Perfectly ready.

And Roka thought that she was. Being tired was better than being unable to think about anything but...

The crewmates gathered, and exited the spaceship.

Three dozen steps away, the female Granilith was sleeping, curled up in a ball.

The Paru was seated on the ground, with his legs crossed and his back to them.

Seeing his back, the female Workas couldn’t help but sigh internally.

‘Two small holes... Or should I call them pores? On each tip of my fingers. One for the Ornidon’s mist, and one for the spiderwebs. On my index fingers, a third one for the poison. Thinking about the Skill is enough for the right one to activate. Let’s check my Status Window again.’

[Species: Paru

Health Points: 890/890

Endurance Points: 1200/1200

She straightened her body, lowered her hips, and pushed her chest forward and upward.

The Paru watched the female Granilith stretch with great interest.

She raised her hips, and stretched by making an inverted L.

Her legs were completely straight, and with the way her butt was aimed at the sky, the Paru debated taking her right there and then.

He knew she wouldn’t have an issue with it. In fact, she would be happy to be taken upon waking up. Still, he couldn’t do so in front of the Worka. In front of the other women...

The crewmates started moving faster as the drowsiness started fading.

It was replaced by a certain quiet anxiety, which made them complete their tasks faster.

Completing their tasks, after all, allowed them to focus on something. To take their focus away from that anxiety.

Raya, having cleared her thoughts the night before, could think about the situation more critically.

‘We’ll need to have a conversation about it at some point. Probably on the way to Serolia... Had he not eaten the Tsero Crystal, we would have died. Either on the Planet where we found him, or here. We left that Planet without him having any impact on us. In other words, we would have come here either way. The Plasma Guns can deal with Graniliths, but if both Graniliths and Wizzos attacked at once... In the first place, we’re only at ease now because the quantity of weapons in our possession has more than tripled, and it’s thanks to him. The machinery allowing us to leave so soon, he recovered. Without it, we would have had to stay six times longer... And without any help. Logically, despite him eating the Tsero Crystal, finding him was the best option for us... Even if it means sacrificing the Tsero Crystal, I would do it again this way. Because while the Tsero Crystal would have remained in our possession, we would have been unable to get it home. Still... We’re depending heavily on you.’

It was a strange feeling, depending on a male.

More than an hour passed, and everything was stored inside the spaceship.

In the area, nothing out of place remained. There was only barren land.

“It’s time to go.”

The crewmates entered the spaceship, one by one. A mix of different emotions filled each of them.

The female Granilith held onto the Paru’s arm as they walked into the spaceship.

Each of the crewmates watched, as the two Aliens walked up the ramp and entered the spaceship.

Jay was the first to talk.

“I want her to stay in the vault.”

‘Ha?’
