Chapter 47: 47 – The Beginning of a Long Journey
"So, you actually met a healer who removed your scars?" Pif asked, scratching his head. "And after that your wound can quickly disappear?"
Leva, just getting up and doing her morning stretch, looked at the young man and snorted. "You've been asking that question for days, Pif. You've seen it for yourself, haven't you? The scars on my thighs and back are gone. You're the one who stares at me often..."
The woman raised her eyebrows and rubbed her ass.
"Why? The bandage on your ass is open?"
"No. The wound is gone."
"Huh, really?" Pif looked at Leva's lower body.
"The old me will definitely slap you, brat." Leva snorted again. "Last night you had enough of looking at my ass while treating me, right?"
Just back from the river, Kat came in without greeting them at all.
Gulped, Leva came to the amber-eyed girl, who was now packing things into a sack.
"Kat, I'm really sorry." Leva said in a somewhat shaky voice, something I'd never heard before. "At that time, I was really tired and frustrated with the situation, so I did a little something that I thought was fun.... Well, I have to admit, I'm back to being who I used to be. I'm back to being asshole."
"Just shut up, Leva." Kat stopped what she was doing. Her voice sounded so cold. "Do you want me to shoot your ass again?"
I have to admit, last night was horrifying. Kat continued to chase Leva, who just kept on teasing her. Maybe out of frustration--I don't know because the girl's feelings were unpredictable-- Kat took a bow and shot Leva. Luckily, Kat was only aiming for the ass where there was a lot of meat.
Leva raised her hands, grinning. "I promise I won't do anything like that again."
I don't believe in you, Leva. You will definitely do it again in the future.
"Is everything ready, Kat?" Already carrying a sack on his back, Manu appears with Seb.
"Soon." Kat tied her sack so fast, a sign that she was actually still pissed. She then got up and started walking out of the shelter.
"Be careful on the way." Leva waved to Kat.
"Come on, boy." Instead of replying to Leva's words, Kat snapped her fingers at Rox, who immediately ran over and barked at its master.
Manu waved and started walking after Kat. "See you again in a few days."
I speed up the in-game time. I was going to leave it alone until there was an event. However, after a while, I was curious about the interaction between Manu and Kat. So, I used warp to where they were and stopped the fast-forward.
And just as I thought, they walked on without a chat. Kat also interacts with her dog more. The girl occasionally throws twigs for her dog to pick up or just plays catch up with the pet.
It's painful to watch. As if Manu wasn't there. The man just stared at Kat while scratching his hair. Will things like this continue for the next five days? Not to mention what will happen when they are in Leva's former tribe and when they return home.
I had put my mouth close to Manu's ear, intending to ask the man to open the conversation. However, I could already guess that Kat would only give short answers. It won't change things much.
So, how about I ask Kat to speak first?
"Try asking Manu something, Kat." I spoke into the amber-eyed girl's ear. "Use a topic that you find interesting."
Kat was silent for a moment, then asked. "Does your tribe have any pets, Manu?"
Manu glared in shock. It took a while before he could answer. "Well, there's one member of my tribe who's very good at taming animals. He's got lots of dogs, a few horses, and a bear."
"A bear?" Kat turned to Manu.
"That's right, a big bear. Complete with sharp fangs and claws. It was a juvenile when it was tamed." Manu continues his speech. "He is a favorite among my tribe members because he is very friendly with them. And when there is an attack, the beast can be relied on to defend our tribe."
"Then, what about the food? The portion he eats must be very large, right?"
"Well, he can hunt on his own. Although sometimes if we get an animal to eat, he gets his share too." Manu shrugged. "I actually wonder why the animal is still loyal to our tribe when it is rarely fed."
"Sounds awesome." Kat shrugged.
I was surprised to hear those words come out of Kat's mouth. This was not something the girl used to say.
"Well, I'm sure you can get one like that, Kat. As long as you train your pets carefully and tame lots of other animals. Your skills will continue to improve. The number one tamer in our tribe said, with a lot of experience, you'll be able to tame all the animals. ."
"I guess one is enough." Kat rubbed Rox's back. The dog jumped up and down, trying to lick Kat's face. "I'm not sure I can take care of that many animals. Plus, there's very little food in our area. I can't always get an animal every day."
Turns out you really do have an interest in animals, Kat. Thankfully, that means you're keeping Rox, not just on my orders... Hey, you can talk that long, Kat?
I was about to whisper something more into Kat's ear because the chatter between the two of them had stopped. However, suddenly Manu ran really fast. And the auto-pause is triggered.
A threat?
I looked back and saw a large bird with black feathers, a blue head, and a long red neck. The ostrich-like beast with a height of two meters seemed to be chasing my colonist while spreading its wings.
As usual, I ordered my two colonists to defend themselves. Their opponents were only birds that couldn't fly. This must be easy, right? The beast was also still quite far away. I'm sure my two colonists can win and turn it into food.
Kat hopped into the bushes with her dog, stalking and aiming with her bow. Meanwhile, Manu had prepared with his ax.
"Why do we stop running and prepare to attack it!? This beast is so aggressive!" Manu began to shriek like an amateur opera singer. "My friend lost his dick while fighting this thing!"
Ouch!
