"Let''s just build the house here,plete with kitchen, storeroom, and bathroom. This ce is pretty t." Manu proposed in a piece ofnd a bit far from their former home but close enough to the fields.


    Eric looked around his surroundings. "Do you want the same size or a bigger one?"


    "Maybe a little bit bigger would be better." Manu shrugged. "But, that''s up to you. If you don''t want to do it, that''s fine too. Because that means you have to collect more y."


    "It''s okay. I''m leaving now. After all, our temporary shelter has beenpleted." Eric pointed to a makeshift building near a big tree, only made of the rubble of their house.


    "Okay then. I have to get back to my job too." Manu returned to the former house, about to sort out the wreckage of Leva and Miro, while Eric took the carriage. Luckily the carriage was only slightly damaged and can still be repaired.


    "Where are you going... What''s your name? Eric?" Miro, who was carrying the rubble of wood, asked. "Where are you going, Eric?"


    Eric, who was already pushing the cart, stopped his steps. "I will take y to make a house."


    "Wait a moment." Miro looked around for a while, put down his things, then took the wooden container that Leva had used before. "I''lle with you."


    "You don''t have to, Miro." I hastily spoke into the big tall man''s ear.


    "Don''t worry, I just want to help you. And maybe on the way, you''ll meet Biruhud or something. I can protect you." Grinning, Miro came to my male colonist.


    Shit. Miro refuses to obey my orders, just as he and his family refused to obey Brown''s.


    I decided to whisper something to Leva, who was picking through the rubble of reusable bricks.


    The woman froze for a moment, then took herrge machete and came over to Eric. "Me too. I''ll go with you two."


    Miro immediately chuckled. "Well, the more, the merrier!"


    Gwen, who was moulding bricks, looked at me with a perverted expression. Her eyes narrowed, her cheeks reddened, and her mouth opened slightly. She looks like she''s having an orgasm.


    Is that a pleading expression or what?


    "Please," Gwen spoke silently.


    "No, Gwen. You stay here. You still have to make those bricks. Remember, you were the one whining at me for assignments, especially those rted to crafting."


    Gwen snorted and went back to moulding the bricks.


    After only a few meters of walking, Miro turned his head to Kat in the distance. The amber-eyed woman was stroking her horse, which was eating in the meadow. Not far away, Rex was happily chasing a butterfly.


    I was going to use the fast-forward button, but I chose to wait in the end. An important chat will surely arise between them soon.


    "Ah, I haven''t apologized to you yet, Miro." Leva gulped and rubbed her face. "I just... Ah, I don''t know. It''s so hard talking to you and your family."


    "Well, if I say I''ve forgiven you now, I''m lying," Miro spoke without looking at Leva at all. "And now I don''t want to talk about that." The big tall man''s eyes fell on Eric, who was walking in front of him. "I have an important business with Eric."


    Eric immediately looked back. "Okay... Can I help you?"


    I started to have a bad feeling.


    "You''re Kat''s lover, right?" Miro asked in a muffled voice.


    Huh?


    Two of my colonists were speechless after hearing that.


    "Why do you think like that, Miro?" Leva scratched her head.


    "It''s a certainty. The two most attractive people in a group will definitely be in a rtionship." Miro chuckled, and I felt the hint of sadness from the man.


    My two colonists were speechless again, the same as me. I don''t understand why people of Miro''s age can think like that.


    Eric shook his head. "No, I''m not in any kind of rtionship with Kat."


    Miro blinked her eyes. "Lie."


    "What Eric said is true." Leva seemed to be holding back augh. "Kat is still single. Well, I''m not sure she has any interest in hooking up with anyone either."


    Now it''s Miro''s turn to be speechless.


    "S-so, I can date her?" The big tall man widened his eyes.


    Hell no. I won''t let Kat date you, Miro!


    Eric shrugged. "I guess?"


    An absurd and extraordinary event happened before my eyes. Miro jumps high and does a split in the air. And as soon as hended on the ground again, he punched upwards.


    "Good thing I''m still here!" Miro smiled very widely and looked excited. My two colonists stopped walking, speechless again. Realizing that, Miro cleared his throat. "Let''s continue our journey."


    "Sorry if I ask this." Leva scratched her head a second time. "But what made you like Kat? You haven''t known each other for long, have you? Hell, you two just metst night."


    "Are you crazy? What man doesn''t like the beauty...." Miro cleared his throat again, this time louder. "Of course, I like her personality! Hahahaha!"


    What a joke.


    Leva narrowed her eyes at the man. If it weren''t for her feeling guilty about Miro''s family, the red-haired woman would have said something.


    ***


    Everything went fast because I was using the fast forward feature. I''m currently near theke, watching Eric and Miro pick up the y.


    Yeah, I''m still not sure that Miro won''t do something. So, I chose to keep an eye on them.


    And suddenly, everything went back to the way it was.


    An event, huh?


    After taking off her shoes, Leva walked into theke until her calves were submerged in water. The woman looked around as she continued to take a deep breath of the air there. It seemed she was appreciating the scene. The vast, blueke does look calming, although I find it boring.


    Her attention was drawn to the rattle that appeared a few meters in front of her.


    There was a shiny green creature approaching Leva.. The creature''s lower body looked like a giant fish, but its upper body was somethingpletely different.
