Chapter 66 - 66 – The Journey Begins
I canceled my intention to press the fast-forward button when a very muscular woman put her arms around Kat's neck. My colonist just looked at that slanted-eyed woman. Without saying anything, of course.
"Thank you very much, because of you and that friend of yours, I was finally able to go out again." That woman with curly black hair chuckled. "My name is Lin. You're Kat, right?"
Kat was just nodding when a pair of hands grabbed her breasts from behind. The girl gasped with a flushed face. Then, as the two hands began to squeeze her assets, the girl couldn't help but sigh. "Ahnnn...."
All the attention of the men who were walking turned to the girl. Rox barked, surely thinking his master was being threatened. I immediately asked Kat to signal the dog not to attack.
Lin pulled the culprit who did the indecent thing, namely a woman with blonde hair and a mole under her lips. "Stop it, Lara. You're making our guest uncomfortable."
Kat folded her arms across her chest and bowed slightly. Her face was getting redder, maybe because of the attention she was getting. However, her face still showed no meaningful expression.
"That's because yours is really interesting, and I want to experience it firsthand." The woman named Lara winked at Kat. "And actually, I was expecting you to wear your old clothes. I think that's how we should dress. We have to show the beauty of our bodies to the world. Why would we hide it, right? I also want to wear clothes like that. Well, even though my chest and hips aren't as plump as yours...."
Lara's words stopped as soon as Lin covered her mouth.
"Don't mind what she says." The muscular woman sighed.
Worried that the women would misunderstand because Kat was silent, I whispered to my colonist. "Say something, Kat."
"It's okay." Kat finally spoke, albeit in a flat tone.
"Huh, it turns out you can talk too, I thought you were mute." Another woman, small like a child and with long red hair, smiled sinisterly. "You better talk more, or you'll be called a bitch doll later."
This woman caught my attention. Apart from her red hair, her facial features are familiar to me, especially her freckles and bright blue eye color.
"Don't stir up a fight, Anne," Lin complained.
Anne, 18 years old. (Tribe members)
Ranged Attack: 2/100
Melee attack: 2/100
Huh? Who let people with low stats like this join?
Lara sneered at the woman named Anne. "Are you angry that as a healer you were sent out? You prefer to stay inside and deal with our residents?"
"No." Anne shrugged. "Like you guys, I'm also happy to be able to walk in the wild after being confined inside for so long."
"Sorry." Kat spoke at my command again. "If I may ask, are you related by blood to Leva?"
"Oh, I've been waiting for that question regarding my older sister." Anne glared at my female colonist. "Yes, you heard me well. I'm the little sister of the slave you bought, which you must have tortured because she is a slave and cannot be considered a human anymore! You have made my older sister suffer!"
What!? I immediately whispered a few things into Kat's ear.
"Aren't you jumping to conclusions too soon, miss?" Kat asked.
"You buying a slave already shows that you guys are immoral!" Anne widened her eyes. Her breath also started to run wild. "If you buy slaves, there's no way you will treat them well! You must have forced them to work really hard! Ah, the male members of your tribe must also use them like toys, right!?"
What a bitch!
Kat was about to argue again, but Tosa shifted between the two women. "Enough. We have to stick together. No fighting."
"Tsk!" Anne spat, then quickened her pace to leave Kat.
"Well, like her older sister, she has a nasty mouth sometimes." Tosa smiled. "Don't mind her."
After saying that, Tosa walked back to the front to lead the group.
Reha, who was following Tosa, waved to my female colonist while smiling broadly. "Hi again, breast girl. I'm also grateful to you and your friend. Thanks to you, I was released early from prison to be able to join this expedition."
"Ugh! I hate that smile!" Lara snorted when Reha was far away. "Why would he come, when what he's doing is creepy! He's peeking at the women bathing!"
I don't know if I should feel more annoyed or laugh at what Lara said.
"Even though he's like that, we can't deny that Reha can be relied on in fighting." Lin sighed. "I'm so grateful he's with us."
"Huh, you still like him, Lin?"
The muscular woman didn't respond and chose to divert the conversation by speaking to Kat. "So, how is Leva doing? It must be hard to have someone like her in your tribe."
Kat shook her head. "Not really. She was actually fine.... Until she slid my pants down in front of the guys."
I still vividly remember that incident.
Lin and Lara grimaced and looked at Kat sympathetically.
Suddenly I saw everything came to a complete stop. Everyone is no longer walking. Auto pause has just been triggered.
I immediately used the hover feature to check if there was any danger in the vicinity. But, instead, I saw an arrow in the distance pointing downwards.
Huh? Isn't that the direction to the river that is Leva's path?
I immediately used warp to get to my red-haired colonist.
Arriving at the river bank, I only found Leva alone, no sign of any enemies. However, the woman was sitting down, and the container she was carrying fell to the ground. Fortunately, the container was not damaged, and only the contents spilled almost half.
She winced in pain, looking down at her right ankle, which was starting to turn red.
I could see a hole in the ground near his feet. It was unusual for Leva to be this careless... Ah.... Maybe because she wanted to get home quickly, she walked too fast and didn't notice the hole.
