Hvisland: A VR Colony Sim Game

Chapter 95 - 95 – The Memories

"Sorry, but Noel won't be coming back here anymore." Red sighed. "Too bad, even though he promised to take care of you."

In the real world, I would have felt that my heart was pounding hard.

Sena wipes his tears. "What about his majesty Suja?"

"I don't think you can see him anymore either." Red sighed.

"So, am I really alone now?" The boy looked down. "All my family is gone. Mr. Noel who was close to me apart from my family had also died…. His Majesty Suja will not come to me again…. Also, no one wants to be friends with me."

"There's still me, Sena." Red rubbed Sena's head. "Even though we can't always see each other, remember that I will always be by your side."

Slowly, the boy looked at me. "So, why is he here?"

Looking at his blank stare, I was speechless. Because of my actions, a child becomes so lonely. And it will definitely affect his mental state.

"You don't want to talk to him about something?" Red asked Sena. "He made all of this happen. You don't want to be angry with him, or maybe even curse him?"

Sena shook his head, looking down again. "I don't want to talk to him. I don't want to see him."

"I apologize." I answered in a low voice.

Sena's tears fell again. He covered his face with his arms and whimpered like he was in pain. Red hugged the poor boy and said to me. "It seems that you are no longer needed here."

"I see. In that case, I will go."

"I hope you haven't forgotten all this. You will have to bear this burden for the rest of your life." Red says again, this time in a voice like someone crying.

"Take care, then." With tears in my eyes too, I pressed the warp button. In an instant, my view had changed. Kat and Lara gathered near Seb, who was butchering a rabbit.

The sky is already orange. The bonfire has been lit. So, they were getting ready for dinner.

"How is Leva?" Lara asked Pif, who was walking closer to the bonfire.

Pif shrugged and sat down too. "Still no sign of she waking up."

They were at peace, not knowing that a bloody coup had just taken place in another part of the land.

I also sat near them, listening to their small talk. This time the topic was their favorite meat. As usual, while the others chatted, Kat remained silent.

With these gestures and ways of speaking, they're just a random collection of data generated by a program? What a joke. I don't believe it.

They are too lively.

I pressed the fast-forward button with the maximum setting. As usual, the people were moving at incredible speed, the moon and sun alternated in seconds,

I don't plan on discontinuing the fast-forward feature before an event makes it stop automatically. I don't even know why I'm like that. Usually, I stop this feature when I find something interesting.

On the fifth day in-game, everything went back to normal. Manu finally reaches his house at dusk.

"Welcome back, Manu." Seb, boiling raw bananas using a metal pot from the Redtooth tribe, stood up and smiled. "I just happened to be making dinner."

"Wow, nice clothes. You bought it from a traveling merchant?" Manu asked as he put his bag of belongings down, then sat down by the bonfire.

Seb looked at the tank top, trousers, and shoes he was wearing. All parts of the garment were similar to what people in the Redtooth tribe used to wear. "Well, it was made by our new friend from the Redtooth tribe who is temporarily staying here."

Manu's brow furrowed. "Temporarily staying?"

"Ah, that's a long story. I'll tell you about it later." Seb widened his smile, sitting down too. "You must be really tired."

"So, have you learned all that is necessary?" Pif, who had just joined, also asked.

"Actually, there are still many things I can learn…." Manu looked around to find Kat. Instead of greeting him, the amber-eyed girl was playing with Rox. Maybe getting used to Kat's miraculous attitude, my colonists let it go. Then, he looked at Leva, who was still lying in the shelter. "Huh. It's unusual for Leva to sleep at this time."

Seb and Pif exchanged glances.

"Well, there was actually a big incident that happened recently." Seb sighed.

"Is this related to the expedition of the Redtooth tribe?" Manu asked back in a serious tone. "I heard, the expedition failed, right? I got this story on my way home. The one who said it was a member of the Redtooth tribe who had fled on a horse. He said there was a massive coup there."

"What did you say? A massive coup?" Lara, who had just appeared, immediately asked with wide eyes.

"Ah, this is Lara from the Redtooth tribe who stayed with us after the stump scorpion attack." Seb introduced the woman.

"Hey." Lara knelt by Manu. "Can you tell me in more detail?"

***

The sun had set entirely, and my colonists had fallen asleep. Only Lara was awake. The woman sat in front of the bonfire, wiping away her tears. She must have been devastated by the destruction of her tribe.

Feeling sorry for the blonde woman, I woke up Seb to talk to her. My male colonist came out of his sleeping bag with a yawn, then went to the fire.

"After I finish all the clothes for you guys, I will leave." Lara said when Seb sat down.

"Aren't you thinking of just joining us?" Seb asked with his signature smile. "Redtooth's new ruler isn't necessarily the same as the previous one. Maybe they have a new policy regarding members splitting up. Besides, I also feel quite familiar with Tosa, maybe I can persuade him to let you join."

"That's not it, Seb." Lara shook her head slowly. "I just want to stay away from this place and my tribe. All of that has given me painful memories. If I stay in this land, it's like I'm constantly reminded by those memories."

"Oh….." Seb was at a loss for words, and I couldn't do anything anymore.
