Chapter 162: Is It Weird? Liz Makes Her Move!
“Still, you’ve fought Visero and a Giganto Zilla. That must have been tiring.”
“Well...” Liz looked away, “The fighting wasn’t the most tiring part.” She whispered under her breath.
“What was that?”
“Huh? Nothing!”
“Alright...” Rea shrugged, and the two remained silent for a moment. “Kind of weird that we’re keeping the celebration for Tyl, isn’t it? I mean... It almost feels like we didn’t-”
“Hey, Rea...” Liz interrupted, not having listened to the Navigator’s words at all. “Remember those cameras we talked about turning off indefinitely?”
“Huh? The... The cameras? Uh... No?”
“Yes, you do! Come on! We turned them off so as not to waste energy. Remember?”
“Uh... Mm... Maybe... Why do you ask?”
“Can they be turned on?” Liz asked.
Rea’s face remained calm and collected, but she feared that a trap was being set up.
‘It’s not like I watched or spied on her... I only saw Raya going into the bath, Al going to her room before, and Jay going to the vault... Wait, I did see Liz!’
Remembering that, Rea immediately felt pressured. It’s the Soldier we’re talking about! If Liz were to find out that Rea was spying on her... That Rea saw her enter the Paru’s room... How would the Soldier react?
‘The room was empty anyways, so it’s not even like seeing her enter means anything! I-‘
“Are you zoning out?” Liz asked with a frown. “Just like that?”
“No! I... Um... Yeah, they can be turned on. Why?”
Liz took a moment before answering.
She had told the Paru that she would come to see him once everyone was asleep.
‘But I definitely don’t want to come while they’re in the middle of... I mean, I don’t want to disturb them... Well, it would be too weird!’
But she couldn’t possibly say that to Rea, so finding an excuse was important.
“I was thinking about how he could talk, right? That’s weird, isn’t it? I kind of doubt that the female Granilith can’t... Maybe she’s hiding her ability to talk too.”
Rea internally let out a sigh of relief.
“So you want to spy on them? I would have expected this from Raya but you...” Rea shook her head.
‘Well, I did do that myself but...’
“So like... If you were to jump him-”
“What do you mean if I were to?!”
“Ugh... I just meant that as an example! If one were to... Then it would be weird... But that person wouldn’t be a weirdo, right?”
“That... Depends, I guess.”
‘So Liz wouldn’t call me a weirdo if she knew? Phew. That makes me feel better... Wait, I jumped him in his sleep! That’s totally different!’
Rea scratched her head.
“I guess if he wanted to, then it wouldn’t be weird at all? Maybe?” She said with a doubtful voice. “It would be kinky, but not weird.” Rea said as she nodded.
“Yes, maybe...” Liz scratched her chin.
‘So Rea wouldn’t call me a weirdo! Just kinky! Phew... And he definitely wanted to! So I’m safe! Wait... This is Rea we’re talking about... I doubt her opinion counts for much...’
Both debated whether it was weird or not, but both had done it... Though with approaches much different from one another’s.
A couple of minutes later, Liz got and up to exit the room.
“Get some rest, Soldier!”
“Counting on you, Navigator.” Liz said as she walked away.
In the end, they couldn’t find a definitive answer.
‘Oh, who cares, anyway!’ They thought simultaneously.
Not having been able to check what the Paru and the female Granilith were doing made it rather stressful for Liz.
‘Wait... I hadn’t even thought of this possibility...’
The idea had only entered her mind once she stood in front of the vault separating her from the vault.
‘What if... What if...’
It was a crazy and scary possibility.
‘What if I find them in the middle of... Doing it... And...’
Was it really that crazy a possibility?
‘He asks me to join them! What do I do then?!’
Liz’s torment lasted for a couple of minutes, and was only ended by the thought,
‘I’ll figure it out then! For now, I’m going to him!’
