Kat took off her clothes at an unbelievable speed. Now, she was standing in front of the fireplace wearing a loincloth only, exposing her incredible body assets.

The men just glared at that. I, who had not seen the beauty of the amber-eyed female colonist's body, couldn't help but stare. The breasts, the butt, the thigh, her soft skin... historical

"I am free!!!" Kat screamed in a slurred voice, then slammed all her clothes down. "Hmmm.... Ah, I'm not that free yet."

I gasped as Kat started to take off her loincloth.

"Hey, why are you guys silent! Stop her!" I shouted to my colonists. This is not the right place and time to be naked! Damn it!

The first to rise was Leva. She tackled Kat, who had almost taken off the bottom garment completely. They both fell down, and Leva immediately strangled Kat from behind using her forearms.

"Hey, tie her up and cover her body!!!" Leva shouted as she continued to hold Kat's body.

The men scattered frantically. Seb took the ropes while Eric brought the blankets, and the others held Kat's body. They had a bit of a hard time doing it because Kat kept squirming wildly.

It took a few minutes for them to finally tie Kat up and wrap her in a blanket.

"Why did she become like me when I relapsed?" Manu scratched his head while watching Kat, who was still squirming like a caterpillar on the floor. The girl's face was getting redder.

"Let go of me... Please... Ahnnn... Instead of sounding like an angry person, Kat let out a teasing sigh. "I want to be free...."

Seb grimaced. "This means we have to keep her from drinking alcohol again."

"Hey, all of you guys, warm up my body...."

Before Kat could finish, Leva stuffed the amber-eyed girl's mouth with a cloth.

"I told you, alcohol is poison!" Leva grumbled.

"Ah, I haven't seen anything like this in a long time. In the future you will laugh if you remember this moment again." Suja chuckled, then drank the wine from his glass again.

"You think this is funny?" Leva looked even more irritated. "She almost humiliated herself! Again!"

Ah, that poisonous mushroom incident.

"Has something like this happened before?" Eric raised an eyebrow.

"I'm not going to tell you guys!" Leva folded her arms across her chest. "And Manu, Seb, don't tell anyone about that or I'll crush your dicks!"

Manu and Seb immediately covered their respective genitals and flinched as if thinking Leva could actually do that.

"Ah, this is the Leva I've known all along." Suja chuckled, turned around, and sat back down where he had been. "But it's true, it's not just this incident. You all remind me of being together in a group, something I've forgotten for a long time. You guys take care of each other."

Suja pours more wine into his glass. "After observing you guys, I came to a conclusion. Maybe you guys took this place by killing the residents, right?"

The atmosphere was immediately quiet. The only sound that could be heard was the soft snoring of the sleeping Kat.

"What's your point, old man?" Leva put her hands on her hips in front of Suja.

Sipping his drink, the old man continued his speech. "I can guess. You guys feel guilty, right? All of that can be seen from the gloomy atmosphere of this place. The guilt can damage your morale, but all of you are still solid and can still carry out activities. No one blames each other. And although some can only wail in silence, you all don't blame them."

Eric turned his face away from the old man.

"But we won't know how long we can last." Manu clenched his fists. He started wincing in pain again. "As long as this guilt persists, maybe we won't be able to calm down."

"If you have no guilt, then your heart is dead." Suja was about to pour some more wine, but turns out the bottle he was holding was empty. "Just like I used to be. I consider that people dying on my mission to be inevitable. Even though they clearly lost their life because of me. Now, I'm reminded again that every life is precious."

"Again, I think your words are bullshit, old man." Leva replied with a sharp look in her eyes.

"I'm not asking you to believe me." Suja smiled faintly. "Ah, I'm talking at length.... The point is, it's better if you live with that guilt, and move on. If you do that, I'm sure all of you will be fine. It shows that you are good people. I feel that if good people unite, they will be very difficult to divide."

Well said, Suja.

Leva knelt down and brought her face closer to Suja's.

"I know your speech pattern, old man." Leva hissed. "This is the way you talk like when you do propaganda to your people. You will attract their sympathy, then put twisted ideas into their brains."

Suja just stared at Leva's face in silence.

Blood vessels began to appear in Leva's neck. "From seducing young girls to become your concubines, to influencing your people to carry out a mission. You've always used this method."

Suja's smile blooms again. "But, in my last moments as a leader, I sometimes lose that touch. I once forced Manu to tell the salt cave. My lust made me do that instead of persuading him."

Leva raised her eyebrows, probably not expecting Suja to say that.

"My purpose for doing speeches like this is really to lift the morale of all of you. I have become a part of your tribe. I want our tribe to survive and thrive." Suja spoke with great emphasis on the word tribe. "It's up to you to believe me or not. What is clear is that what I said makes sense to all of you, right? Think about it carefully."

Am I wrong to ask this old man to speak to the others? Is he actually still dangerous?

Leva takes her face away from Suja, then gets up and leaves. The former tribe leader remained where he was while the others stared at him in silence.

Suja opened his mouth. At first, I thought he would talk again, but the old man threw up violently instead.

"Suja!" Seb and the other men came up to the old man, who eventually collapsed.

The vomiting that came out of Suja's mouth grew more intense, making him unable to speak.

"Please get some water and a rag!" Seb gave the order.
