"I''m back, everyone!!!" Leva eximed as she spread her arms a few meters in front of the house.


    "Ah, wee, Leva, Eric." Seb, who was watering the nts, answered.


    "It''s weird." Leva scratched her head. "Why can''t I get closer when I really want to?"


    Gwen came out of the house wearing a mask. "Sorry, but there''s a risk of disease transmission here, so both of you should stay away from this area. And don''t touch the things we touch... Ah, sorry, my name is Gwen, a new member of your group."


    "Ah, nice to meet you, Gwen." Leva raised an eyebrow. "My name is Leva."


    "And I''m Eric." Seb''s son joined in.


    "So, what should we do, Gwen?" Leva asked again.


    "Again, I advise you to stay away from this area." Gwen took a few steps forward. "You brought food?"


    "Yeah, we have some food in our bags." Now it was Eric who chimed in. "We bought it before we came back here."


    "Good, this may be inconvenience to you, and you will want to restfortably. However, it is also for the sake of your group. You guys camp near this area until the situation improves. Sorry, but honestly, I don''t know how long this willst. "


    Leva shrugged. "Yeah, no problem. Thest few days, we''ve both been sleeping under the sky, after all... Ah, I wasn''t intending to offend you, Gwen. Sorry."


    "No problem."


    I whispered to my two colonists.


    "But first, we wanted to give you something." Eric lowered his sack of things and took out other, much smaller bags. "Here are the seeds you asked for, Dad... I mean Seb. There are strawberries and corn and cotton."


    "Strawberries? That''s good. So we can eat fruit other than bananas without having to look for wild berries." Seb smiled happily. "I''ve moved wild berries here a few times, but they always fail."


    "And the presence of cotton is very beneficial to us, too," Gwen added. "For the clothes and, of course, the bandages."


    Eric tossed the bags of seeds, and Seb caught them all.


    "Thanks, Eric."


    Right after that, Manues coughing. Everyone''s eyes were on the bearded man.


    "Gwen, I think I''m having symptoms." The man hissed.


    "What do you feel?" Gwen approached the man.


    "Cough, headache, nausea, and stiffness in my joints. This morning I didn''t have an appetite either."


    Gwen pressed the back of her hand to Manu''s forehead, who flinched slightly.


    Are you nervous around this woman, Manu? Because she teased you several times?


    "Your temperature has indeed gone up." Gwen narrowed her eyes, looking at Manu''s face that wasn''t as pale as Sun''s. "Are you already short of breath?"


    "Not yet."


    ***


    Night had fallen, Leva was munching on bread filled with dried fruit that was a gift from Redtooth. Sitting in front of a bonfire, she gazed at her house in the distance.


    "I want others to taste this food." Leva sighed, taking another bite of her bread.


    "What else can we do?" Eric pushed firewood in the bonfire. "We don''t know how long this situation willst. So, we have to take care of our food. Neither of us is good at hunting animals."


    "I know, Mr. Obvious." Leva shook her head. "I''ve actually felt this danger on the way, but I didn''t expect something like this to happen."


    "That''s why you want to rush to the house?" Eric tucked himself into his sleeping bag. "It''s gettingte. It''s time for us to sleep. Tomorrow I might set a trap for rabbits or chickens."


    "Goodnight, Eric." Leva sighed again. "But I''m not sleepy yet."


    I then use the fast-forward feature. However, even though some time had passed, Leva had not yet fallen asleep. She changes positions repeatedly. From sitting, standing, and even doing light shadowboxing.


    Ugh, if she''s still like this, maybe I won''t be able to meet Gwen in that state again. Gwen has been in the house for the past few days, even at night. She observed Sun. Tonight, the woman promised to go out.


    I stopped the fast-forward feature when Gwen finally came out of the house, stretching as usual. Luckily, Leva was already in a sleeping bag.


    "Good evening, Mr. Spirits." Gwen yawned and stretched again, but this time with a more sensual gesture. "Sorry, I haven''t been able to apany you in thest few days."


    "No problem." I shrugged. "Although I have to admit, I miss yourpanion."


    The woman chuckled. "I am very honored that you speak like that."


    Gwen then put her sewing box in the grass and lit a bonfire. As she started to undress, I held my breath. I don''t think I''ll ever get tired of seeing this beauty.


    "It''s a little ticklish." Gwen corrected the position of her bare butt, which had justnded on the grass. "Oh, okay."


    I didn''t reply and focused on the woman''s body. After doing this a few times, I feel like seeing a naked woman against the backdrop of an openndscape is an entirely different experience.


    "How do you want me to modify these clothes, Mr. Spirits?" Sitting cross-legged, the woman asked as she started threading the needle.


    "Up to you." I kept my focus on the woman''s body. "The important thing is that the results are good."


    Gwen chuckled. "You love my body so much that you don''t look into my eyes when you speak."


    It''s your own fault.


    "Whaaat the fuuuuckkk!!!" The thunderous voice from Leva broke my concentration.


    "Oh, Leva. You have not slept yet?" Gwen asked in a casual tone, even though she wasn''t wearing a garment at all. "I''m sewing."


    "Sewing!? While naked in public!? Are you crazy!!!" Leva''s hysterical voice woke Eric, who straightened up but immediately red at the sight of Gwen''s naked body. "Don''t you havemon decency? Put your clothes on now, or I''ll boobplex you!"


    "Shut up, Leva!" I teleported and called out near the red-haired woman. "This is her own will. You have no right to stop it. You''d better go to sleep."


    Then, the door of my colonists'' house opened. Seb and Manu, who had juste out, perhaps because of Leva''s screams, suddenly choked. Meanwhile, Kat just narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest.


    Rex came up to the woman and sniffed her.


    "Hmmm? Did you find something wrong on my body?" Gwen asked the white wolf-like dog.


    "All right, you all go to sleep!!!" I know I''m overly mad, but I really want to enjoy this night.
