Chapter 162: Is It Weird? Liz Makes Her Move!
Chapter 162: Is It Weird? Liz Makes Her Move!
“What was that?”
“Huh? Nothing!”
“Alright…” Rea shrugged, and the two remained silent for a moment. “Kind of weird that we’re keeping the celebration for Tyl, isn’t it? I mean… It almost feels like we didn’t-”
“Hey, Rea…” Liz interrupted, not having listened to the Navigator’s words at all. “Remember those cameras we talked about turning off indefinitely?”
“Huh? The… The cameras? Uh… No?”
“Yes, you do! Come on! We turned them off so as not to waste energy. Remember?”
“Uh… Mm… Maybe… Why do you ask?”“Can they be turned on?” Liz asked.
Rea’s face remained calm and collected, but she feared that a trap was being set up.
‘It’s not like I watched or spied on her… I only saw Raya going into the bath, Al going to her room before, and Jay going to the vault… Wait, I did see Liz!’
Remembering that, Rea immediately felt pressured. It’s the Soldier we’re talking about! If Liz were to find out that Rea was spying on her… That Rea saw her enter the Paru’s room… How would the Soldier react?
‘The room was empty anyways, so it’s not even like seeing her enter means anything! I-‘
“Are you zoning out?” Liz asked with a frown. “Just like that?”
“No! I… Um… Yeah, they can be turned on. Why?”
Liz took a moment before answering.
She had told the Paru that she would come to see him once everyone was asleep.
‘But I definitely don’t want to come while they’re in the middle of… I mean, I don’t want to disturb them… Well, it would be too weird!’
But she couldn’t possibly say that to Rea, so finding an excuse was important.
“I was thinking about how he could talk, right? That’s weird, isn’t it? I kind of doubt that the female Granilith can’t… Maybe she’s hiding her ability to talk too.”
Rea internally let out a sigh of relief.
“So you want to spy on them? I would have expected this from Raya but you…” Rea shook her head.
‘Well, I did do that myself but…’
“It’s not really spying. It’s just… Keeping an eye on them, you know?”
‘Come on! I just want to know whether they’re… You know! Or not!’
“I don’t feel comfortable spying, whether it’s on people or aliens.” Rea lied. “In the first place, they’re probably just asleep or something, don’t you think?”
“I’m… Not sure about that. Why not check?”
“Because it would mean turning on the system for the cameras, and I don’t want to do that before having talked about it with everyone.”
“Oh… Yes… That makes sense.”
The two remained silent again for a bit.
“So he can talk.” Liz said.
“Turns out, yeah.”
“Do you think that means he should put clothes on?”
“Huh? I don’t see what talking has to do with that.”
‘Why do you want to hide his massive dick??’
“I just…” Liz scratched her head. “I don’t know. I mean, it doesn’t change anything, of course. He’s an alien.”
“Of course.” Rea nodded.
“It’s not like him talking means that, all of a sudden, we would start… You know… Having ideas.”
“Of course.” Rea nodded again. “That would be weird.”
“Right. That would be very weird.” Liz crossed her arms and nodded along. “And we’re totally not weird like that.”
“Of course, we’re not. I mean… What are we going to do? Jump on him because he talks? Like that changes anything.” Rea shook her head. “If anyone were to do that, it would be admitting that they wanted to jump him even before that, wouldn’t it?”
“That’s right.” Liz nodded. “And that would be very weird.”
“Very very weird indeed.”
Liz stopped nodding for a moment.
“But like… It wouldn’t be thaaaat weird.”
“Hm?”
“I mean… Still weird, of course. But interspecies stuff is… You know, kinky kind of weird. Not… Weird weird.”
“Hmm…” Rea held her chin, feigning being in deep thought. “I suppose.”
“So like… If you were to jump him-”
“What do you mean if I were to?!”
“Ugh… I just meant that as an example! If one were to… Then it would be weird… But that person wouldn’t be a weirdo, right?”
“That… Depends, I guess.”
‘So Liz wouldn’t call me a weirdo if she knew? Phew. That makes me feel better… Wait, I jumped him in his sleep! That’s totally different!’
Rea scratched her head.
“I guess if he wanted to, then it wouldn’t be weird at all? Maybe?” She said with a doubtful voice. “It would be kinky, but not weird.” Rea said as she nodded.
“Yes, maybe…” Liz scratched her chin.
‘So Rea wouldn’t call me a weirdo! Just kinky! Phew… And he definitely wanted to! So I’m safe! Wait… This is Rea we’re talking about… I doubt her opinion counts for much…’
Both debated whether it was weird or not, but both had done it… Though with approaches much different from one another’s.
A couple of minutes later, Liz got and up to exit the room.
“Get some rest, Soldier!”
“Counting on you, Navigator.” Liz said as she walked away.
In the end, they couldn’t find a definitive answer.
‘Oh, who cares, anyway!’ They thought simultaneously.
Not having been able to check what the Paru and the female Granilith were doing made it rather stressful for Liz.
‘Wait… I hadn’t even thought of this possibility…’
The idea had only entered her mind once she stood in front of the vault separating her from the vault.
‘What if… What if…’
It was a crazy and scary possibility.
‘What if I find them in the middle of… Doing it… And…’
Was it really that crazy a possibility?
‘He asks me to join them! What do I do then?!’
Liz’s torment lasted for a couple of minutes, and was only ended by the thought,
‘I’ll figure it out then! For now, I’m going to him!’
