Chapter 219: Celebration And... Fertilization?

“Mm.” Raya nodded. Her gaze moved from the bag to the one who had laid it on the ground. “Did he go in already?” She asked.

“No. He stayed in there.” Roka explained, pointing at the forest in the distance. “Said he had some things to do.”

“I see.” Raya sighed, scratching her head. “It’ll be dark out here, soon.”

“How’s the-”

“It’s going well.” Raya interrupted. “Everything’s going well. We’re collecting fuel at a good pace. Might need to move to a different area in a dozen hours or so, since we kind of sucked this place dry.”

“Right…” Roka nodded.

‘Sucking it dry…’ Both the Commander and Raya thought at once.

“A-Anyway… I’ll head inside for a bit.”

“Y-Yeah.” Raya scratched her head. “Me too, in a bit.”

“Huh?” Kris turned towards them, finally managing to tear his gaze away from the berries and fruits that filled the bag. “Why are you going inside? We’re celebrating tonight!”

“Well… Yeah, I’ll go inside just for a little bit.” The Commander started walking towards the spaceship. “There’s some… Uh… Blood and all… On my clothes.”

“Oh, I see.” Kris turned towards Raya. “What about you? Aren’t going to help me work this thing?”

“Can’t you do that alone?” Raya sighed. ‘I’d rather go find him! He promised he would come to my room, but I completely forgot about this celebration thing! I’m tired of this shit! I want him to finally fuck me!’

“Uh… I could but… I’m afraid of messing it up.” Kris explained, scratching his head. “We wouldn’t want the wine to taste bad, right?”

Raya’s eyes suddenly widened, and the corner of her lips curled.

“You’re goddamn right.” She muttered, and got to work. “Let’s make the best wine there is, and celebrate!”

“Hooray!”

Raya bit her lip as she started sorting the different fruits and berries.

‘We’ll get drunk… And seal the deal! Yes. Yes! That’ll work! Oh god… I can already picture it… Celebrating with everyone, drinking and laughing… And then… And then… We stealthily excuse ourselves… And go… Go to my room and… And…’

Gulp-

‘Let’s get to work!’

“Can I help?” Liz asked, lying on the ground a couple of steps away.

“No.” Raya sighed. “Just focus on babysitting her.”

“Right…” Liz rolled her eyes and directed her gaze towards the female Granilith.

Lith was seated on her knees two steps away, staring at the sky above, darkening.

“What’s up?” Liz asked as she rolled onto her stomach and rested her cheek against her fist.

A worried expression was on the female Granilith’s face.

The sky was slowly becoming darker and darker.

“Uwa…” Lith muttered.

“Worried about him? He’ll be fine, you know? Wizzos and Graniliths are nothing to him.”

Liz’s eyes narrowed.

“But you already know that…” She whispered to herself. “What are you worried about then?”

Indeed, what worried Lith weren’t Wizzos and Graniliths, but the other creatures.

The creatures that the Paru was looking for.

[A Quest has been issued.]

“So I was right…” He whispered to himself. “The days are much longer than the nights on Tyl. Graniliths and Wizzos dominate during the day, but…”

[Quest: “Bloody Night on Tyl”.]

“The rest of the beasts come out at night.”

[Objective: Kill as many specimens of nocturnal Species as possible.]

[Reward: Ranging from 1 Skill Point to 3 Skill Points.]

“Yeah…” Standing within the forest, already dark enough to warrant the use of the -Hyper Sensitive Eyes- Skill, the Paru could already see them. “Those look familiar.” He grinned.

The same Species he had seen underground, and more!

“Let’s deal with this Quest quickly.” The Paru whispered as he slammed his fists together. “I’ll start with everything that’s closer to our area, then move out.”

…

Hours later, everything was going smoothly.

For both the Paru and the crewmates.

“Oh yeah…” Kris muttered, his eyes sparkling. “I’ll take the first glass, thanks.”

“Shouldn’t we make everything before that?” Raya asked.

“No… It would be better if I tasted it, you know? In case… Something needs to be changed in the recipe.”

“Still a sucker for wine, huh?” Rea muttered, yawning. “Morning. Can I get some?”

“You slept like a log.” Kris noted before taking a sip. “Oh… Surprisingly nice.”

“You don’t even know what good wine is.”

“I don’t either.” Raya shrugged. “Who cares anyway? I didn’t know you were an uppity little shit, Rea.”

Rea stared silently, before smiling.

“I’m in such a good mood.” She muttered as she stretched her arms up. “I suppose even shitty wine will do.”

“Can I get some?” Liz asked as she waved a hand.

“I’ll take three glasses.” Jay muttered.

“Me as well.” Al sighed.

“I’m fine with two.” Bak whispered.

“Uwo?” Lith tilted her head from right to left, curious about what was causing the commotion.

“Ugh…” The Commander sighed as she exited the spaceship. “Can’t you all wait?”

“Do we have to?” Kris muttered his breath, taking another sip. “Kidding! Everyone waits except me! Since I had the idea of making wine! And made it too!”

“I helped.” Raya shrugged.

“True! You deserve a glass! Taste it! It’s great!”

“No…” Raya looked away, tilting her head. “I’ll wait.”

Most of the crewmates sighed at once. If Raya, who helped make the wine, was waiting, then they had no choice but to wait as well.

Roka stopped approaching the group once she was about a dozen steps away from them.

She pressed her lips together.

‘I touched myself… While thinking about him…’ Roka felt both embarrassed and aroused by the thought. ‘I wonder how he would feel about that. About me… Telling him that I did.’

She closed the distance, took a glass, and downed it in one gulp.

‘I’ll need to drink a lot… If I want the courage to tell him that!’

“THAT’S SO NOT FAIR!”

“HOW CAN YOU TELL US TO WAIT THEN…”

Meanwhile,

[A Sub-Quest has been issued!]

[Objective: Fertilize the Fyu eggs.]

[Reward: 1 Skill Point.]

The Paru scratched his chin, reading the System messages over and over again.

“Hm…”

Fertilize.

“Am I high again?”
