“I know, this is a frightening and shocking experience for you.” Leva continued her speech, still using a calming tone. “But look at the silver lining. The crisis is over and we’re safe. That guy won’t attack us again.”

Seb did look at Leva, but the man didn’t respond. She still looked scared, and his tears were still flowing.

Leva closed her eyes, exhaling slightly. “Don’t let this affect your mind, Seb. I’ll help you through this. You’re not alone.”

Seb still didn’t respond. Leva averted her gaze, her teeth clenched, and the veins in her neck began to bulge.

Looks like this won’t work.

I was about to ask Leva to stop, but the girl suddenly slammed her head against Seb’s forehead. The man immediately fell, holding his forehead while looking confused at Leva.

The woman stood up and put her hands on her hips. “Hey, I’ve been speaking softly to you, but you didn’t even hear me!!!”

Seb flinched at the thunderous snap.

“You have to go through all this now, bastard! We are still few in number! You can’t bury the corpse because you can’t stand the sight of it, right!? That means, you have to treat me and Manu!” Leva then showed an arrow stuck in his thigh. “Look at this, the arrow is still stuck in my fucking leg! You have the medicine box from the sky ship, right!? I don’t know shit about how to use that thing! So only you can treat this wound using that! This hurts, damnit! !! You want my wound to rot and be eaten by maggots!?”

Seb still didn’t respond. Leva was about to yell again, but finally, Seb wiped his face, then took a deep breath.

“That’s right, in this survival situation, we have to endure such a thing.” Seb said in a low voice. He got up and turned his back to Leva. “Just a minute, I’ll get the first aid kit.”

A text appeared above Seb’s head.

[Soul-stirring words buff – This buff allows Seb to be active again, despite experiencing a mental breakdown.]

Wow, apparently, there is a feature like this. I salute you, Leva. You can make Seb come back to his senses.

But…

I looked at Seb’s back which was getting further away. I’m not sure what just happened won’t give Seb’s mental long term.

***

By the bonfire, Leva kept her tough face on as Seb treated the wound on her left thigh. The change in expression that appeared on her face was only the occasional flickering of her eyebrows.

Manu lies in the shelter. The bearded man’s body had already been bandaged by Seb first. Meanwhile, Kat is burying the battered-faced attacker.

I arranged everything to finish as soon as possible.

“It’s finished.” Seb smiled after making the final knot in the bandage wrapped around Leva’s thigh.

I hope the wound doesn’t leave a scar that could ruin the beauty of your thigh, Leva. Seb’s bandage looked a little untidy, so I was a little worried.

“I’ve always been amazed by the healing methods of the humans who woke up from those sky ships.” Leva rubbed her bandaged body part.

Seb didn’t answer and started tidying things up in the medicine box.

Seeing the man’s gloomy expression, Leva sighed. “Look, I know this is really bothering you….”

“How did the girl from the escape pod in your tribe react when she found out that the story about the sky ships existed long ago?” Seb cut off the conversation, not looking at Leva at all.

It seemed he wanted to change the subject and didn’t want to talk about that horrible incident again.

Leva was silent for a moment. “Honestly, I don’t know. I’m not close to that woman.”

“I see.” Seb closed the box, then stood up and smiled again. “I will check our prisoner. He also needs help.”

Seb just left and didn’t wait for Leva to answer.

Shit. Even I also feel uncomfortable with this situation.

Leva continued to sit by the fire, watching Seb in the distance. I crouched beside her, then said in her ear. “I know you’re tired, but it’s a good idea to help Kat bury the body.”

The woman got up, adjusting her banana leaf mini skirt, which was now damaged, probably from the fight. However, the fastening part of the skirt broke instead. Leva snorted and threw it into the fire. So she had no choice but walked away bottomless, her ass and pussy clearly visible.

Over time I got used to the nudity that this game shows.

Instead of following Leva, I chose to go to Seb, who was now sewing the wound from the arrow on Pif’s body. The prisoner kept wincing in pain, and Seb did his job with a gloomy face.

Maybe this isn’t the right time for Seb to ask Pif to join my colony. However, I want this recruitment to be completed quickly.

So, I gave orders for Seb to have a chat with the prisoner.

“You’ve seen that red-haired woman, right?” Seb started to say with a friendly smile. “She is the slave we bought. You can see the marks of the lashes on her body, right?”

“A slave?” Pif was dumbfounded. “Damn, you guys must have paid a fortune to get such a beautiful and sexy slave.”

Seb chuckled. “Do you feel she is being treated as a slave by us?”

Pif was silent for a moment with a frown. “Until now I haven’t seen her… She attacked you and got angry at you. However, none of you punished her.”

“See, right? She was already a part of us, not a slave anymore. Here we treat humans well.” Seb widened her smile. “Well, even though our group is still very small.”

“You still want to recruit me, right?” Pif winced in pain again as Seb moved to clean the wound on his hand. “Again, I can’t. I don’t want to be branded a traitor and targeted by my tribe. So, after this I beg you to let me go.”

“Well, that’s up to you.” Seb shrugged, still smiling. “I still have one question and you don’t need to answer it. So, how do your tribe people treat you? Why did they send you to raid our place when you said you didn’t want to.”

“That’s….” Pif was at a loss for words.

You do have excellent communication skills, Seb.
