Chapter 88: Noctural Invitation!

Despite more than an hour having passed, she hadn’t managed to sleep.

Twisting and turning around in her bed, she found herself unable to keep her eyes closed for more than a minute.

There was more than one reason for that inability to sleep.

After standing around for a while, the Paru had decided to lie on his bed.

‘I can smell that someone was here. The scent of the shampoo they use... But they all use the same one, so I can’t tell who it was exactly. Still, someone having come to my room is pretty exciting, isn’t it? I don’t need things to move quickly anyways, especially since she’s waiting for me, and I’ve grown rather fond of her.’

For close to an hour, the Paru remained on his bed, alone, and deep in thought.

Many things crossed his mind. The crewmates, the Planet they come from, Tyl, the Planet he had opened his eyes on, the one they were heading to, as well as the System, to name a few.

‘Maybe I’ll go bother Rea for a bit before going back to her... Lith and Rani, those are the names they liked, right? Lith is a bit sinister, which could work for someone else. Would actually be pretty hot... But she isn’t that way at all. Rani... That’s not a bad name.’

The Paru had remained in his room because he had many things to think about, but perhaps also because he hoped that someone would push his door open.

‘Guess I’ll go talk to Rea. She’s funny, plus she might tell me about some interesting things. About their journey, or whatever else she feels like talking about, I suppose...’

The Paru pushed himself off his bed. It was more sturdy than he had expected it to be. Weighing multiple times more than the Worka did, he had half-expected it to collapse under his weight.

He stepped towards his room’s door, which he had closed behind him upon entering.

The Paru thought that the room being closed was better since one couldn’t peek to see if he was present or not. Leaving it closed would, therefore, force them to push it open, even if driven by sheer curiosity and nothing else.

‘I wonder if Rea will talk about those cameras... If they even are cameras... Actually, she might have even watched while we were-‘

Just as the Paru reached for the door’s handle, it moved by itself.

Someone was standing on the other side of that door, and that person was revealed a second later.

“Oh...” Raya was immediately taken aback, having found the Paru standing right behind the door she had just opened. Her gaze darted towards the right, then towards the left, before going back to him. “Hi.”

The Paru stood silently.

“I couldn’t sleep... Since I kind of got things on my mind.”

He noticed a towel lying on her shoulder.Findd new stories at novelhall.com

She remained in front of him for a couple of seconds, before turning back around and continuing to walk in the direction they had been heading in.

“He started crying too. That’s so pathetic, isn’t it?”

‘For a guy? Yeah, that’s pathetic as fuck, I guess.’

“I mean... For a female to cry upon being rejected, that would be pathetic. But when a male cries...”

‘Oh, right...’

“Mmm... Even though I don’t care much about him, it still kind of stings, you know?”

‘Sure.’

“Ugh...” Raya scratched her head, obviously annoyed by the situation and events with Al. “I’m overthinking it too much. I need a good bath.”

“Ha! Looks like the party isn’t over yet. Good, good! I didn’t expect someone to go on the offensive so soon... Especially not you, Raya. Not after Al went out running, hahaha!” Rea laughed out loud. “Man... Having access to the cameras is too much fun. Who needs sleep when I can do this?”

Rea continued watching the Paru and Raya on their walk, but pretty quickly,

“Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait! Are you headed?”

That path could only lead to one place.

“Why do you have a towel on your shoulder?”

There could only be one reason.

“You’re not just going on the offensive...” Rea muttered, her face starting to blush slightly. “You’re being super super aggressive!!”

***

Some steps later, the two arrived in front of the bathroom’s door.

Raya stood in front of that door, gulping. She peeked at the Paru from the corner of her eye.

His member seemed even bigger than usual. Did that mean he was...?

Gulp-

Raya wasn’t sure.
