Chapter 236 – 236 – The Name

Gwen pushes Kat and Leva to the other colonists doing their job. It is now summer, and the fashion of the three ladies is showing it well. Kat wore a brown bikini top that looked too small for her breasts, paired with pants that were too short, boots of the same color, and a cowboy hat. Meanwhile, what Leva is wearing looks more like a tight leotard with a maroon color showing off her beautiful legs. I’m having a hard time explaining the shape of the clothes myself. What is clear, apart from her smooth legs, her cleavage and sideboobs are clearly visible in that outfit. Then, Gwen also wears clothes similar to what Kat is wearing, but in blue, and she wears a micro skirt instead of pants. The skirt was too short that I thought maybe if she moved a little, the blonde haired girl’s panties would be exposed.

“Really?” Miro sighed. “You girls dressed like that? Isn’t that too revealing?”

“Oh, come on, Miro.” Tom chuckled. “Let them wear what they want.”

“Hmmm… I think I heard another meaning in your words, my dear?” Yvonne asked sarcastically.

“You’re overthinking too much.” Tom laughed nervously.

Alice looked the women up and down. “Wow, your clothes are so beautiful, different from the clothes I’m used to seeing. Compared to this, they are too boring.”

“Hey, do you want me to make clothes like them too?” Gwen asked enthusiastically.

A small chuckle escaped Alice’s mouth. “Aah, I’m not sure I can be confident in such revealing clothes.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll make clothes that cover your body more.”

“You didn’t give me that choice when you made clothes for me.” Kat snorted. Her body kept twitching, and her hands were folded across her chest. She clearly felt uncomfortable in that outfit. “All of a sudden, this outfit was made, and you forced me to wear it.”

Gwen burst out laughing. “Come on, Kat. That outfit suits you very well. I know what you look good on, Kat. And eventually, you’ll get used to it.”

“I think it’s okay to wear clothes like this.” Leva made a kicking motion. “I can move well with this, even though the folds of the clothes keep getting into my ass.”

“That’s called a wedgie.” Gwen shrugged. “You will also get used to it. Well, I just wanted to make things less boring. Therefore, I will share cool clothes with all of you. This is just the beginning.”

Manu leaned closer to Trevor, then whispered. “Hey, Trev. You recorded all of this, right?”

“Errr… I’m not recording them.” Trevor sounded confused.

“Then record them now!” Manu kept on making a low voice. “It’s even more interesting than them being completely naked… I have a hard time explaining it. Anyway, if they decide not to wear those clothes anymore, I can still see it on the tape.”

“Ah, I see, Manu.” Trevor shrugged. “Think of it as a payback for all the answers to my questions about human behavior, especially on this planet.”

“What are you two talking about?” Kat asked them in a slightly sharp tone, though, of course, her expression remained blank.

“We didn’t talk about anything.” Manu shook his head.

Trevor stepped forward and spoke before Kat responded. “Maybe now we can do mech training for you, Kat.”

Kat narrowed her eyes a little suspiciously, but she answered anyway. “Okay, I’ll give it a try. But, I’d better change my clothes first…”

“What? Why did you do that? I heard you used to like wearing skimpy clothes, right?” Gwen protested by cutting off the conversation.

“But, this is different….”

“Now that’s your default outfit, Kat. And don’t argue with Gwen if she wants to dress you anything.” I whispered into the amber eyed woman’s ear. “So, deal with it.”

I have to admit, what Gwen is doing is truly extraordinary. She and her two female friends became more attractive to look at.

In the end, Kat and Leva stick with the outfit Gwen made to control the mechs. Kat was still getting used to controlling the metal giant and hadn’t used a weapon yet. Meanwhile, Leva was already practicing various moves using the giant sword.

Trevor watched his teammates practice on the ground. He occasionally gave instructions.

“The training went well, huh?” Manu walked up to Trevor carrying a package. The bearded man had to travel quite a distance to deliver the fresh food that Yvonne made. Since the movement of the mechs shook the ground and frightened the animals, the training was carried out in a place quite far from the colony. If constantly disturbed, the animals can become too stressed.

“Well, maybe Kat should train a little more. It’s possible that I previously ordered her to use Leva’s mech to train, but that means she’s training in a mech optimized for melee attacks. This meant that she had to learn from scratch again to use a mech meant for ranged attacks. Well, they’re not soldiers who have been training with mechs for years, so in order to maximize their fighting potential, then I really have to set the mechs accordingly…Why am I telling a long story like this?”

Manu chuckled. “Well, maybe you just wanted to talk. But, you continue that story later. Now it’s time to rest. I brought grits with minced meat and vegetables, fresh from Yvonne’s kitchen.”

I deliberately ordered my colonists to deliver such fresh food to the training ground. Leva and Kat will continue to do repetitive movements in practice. Maybe food that fills their soul will help a little.

“It’s lunchtime, girls!” Trevor exclaimed though he could tell using the communication device he had on him, without even speaking at all.

Once the mechs stopped and the two pilots disembarked, Manu took out a medium-sized clay jug from the pack he was carrying.

“Wow, that smells great.” Leva sniffed the air as Manu opened the lid of the jug. “But I’ve never smelled anything like this before.”

“Yvonne cooks it with garlic.” Manu smiled started to pour the grits soup into three bowls. “I’ve tasted it, and it’s excellent.”

Kat narrowed her eyes at the yellowish mush. “Are there any bits of mushrooms in it?”

Manu laughs. “Don’t worry, Yvonne made sure this isn’t a mushroom that makes you hallucinate.”

The three of them sat down on the grass and ate heartily. The first one to finish was Leva. She immediately gave a thunderous burp. “Aah, this is so delicious! It reminds me of the food from the sky ship!”

“Ah, I remember about that food too.” Smiling, Manu put down his bowl, which was also empty. “The first time you eat it, you get fed by Seb.”

Leva was silent. She was gloomy at first, but a few seconds later, she smiled. “We’ve been in this tribe for a long time. I think we met for the first time last summer.”

“And as of now, we still don’t have a name.” Manu chuckled.

“That’s what I was curious about until now.” Trevor joined in. “I’ve asked everyone, but they all don’t know why this place doesn’t have a name yet.”

Well, that’s because I don’t really care about naming this colony myself. I know I am an incompetent guardian spirit.

“We’ve been through a lot….” Manu sighed. “Our situation has really been up and down, and now we seem to have settled. Our crop fields are doing good, and our second home will soon be usable. Tom suggested we make rooms for each person for privacy.”

“Tom just wants to have sex with his wife and not out in the open,” Leva responded with a chuckle. “Well, I’m not sure that Miro welcomes the idea. He must pick up clay in a faraway place. I know how boring that can be. Well, even if his stamina is like that of a bull, so the time he needs is shorter, but still.”

“Hey.” Suddenly Kat spoke with trembling lips. Her eyes fell on her bowl, which was just empty. “How long do you think this peace will last?”

Everyone there looked at Kat, and they fell silent. I could feel the atmosphere getting heavier than before.

Yes, for them, peace will never last long. I really understand that.

Suddenly Trevor stood up. “I got a communication transmission.”

“What? Where’s the transmission from? Is that your evil twin, Trevor?” Leva asked and stood up too.

“No… It’s still not clear. I have to do a little calibration.” Trevor picked up his tablet from the ground. “In a moment, I’ll show it through this screen.”

The others gathered near Trevor to look at the tablet screen in the android’s hand. Initially, the screen displayed a very bumpy indistinct image. The sound that the object emits is also intermittent and unclear. However, after a while, the tablet screen finally showed a man with smooth brown hair, a chin with a firm line, and sharp eyes. From the complexity on his face, I guessed that the man was almost 50 years old.

“Good afternoon, I’m Ethan Pratt, leader of the Soulsteel organization.”

My colonists looked at each other.
