Every now and then, I could hear the bird's beak tapping on the wooden walls of the house as if they wanted to confirm that there was sothing here.
This is insane. Who programd them to be troubleso? In my original world, I had never seen a giant bird behave like this.
I looked outside again to find one bird still circling the house while the other sat in front of the closed door.
How long are they going to continue like that? It's almost evening. My colonists have not done any aningful activity. They don't even eat and go to the toilet, afraid that their footsteps will be heard.
As I pulled myself back into the house, I saw my colonists gathered in the center of the room, sitting tensely. Sun, lying on the fur sheet, rubbed Rex a few tis if the animal seed to be moving.
And my eyes fell on Gwen, who had a different expression from the others. The woman bit the corner of her lips, her eyes began to water, her face turned red, and her eyes slowly narrowed. Then, her mouth opened slightly. She looks like to be moaning silently. Her body also shuddered.
Seb, who was sitting next to the woman, flinched slightly and raised his right hand that was resting on the floor.
The hand is wet.
The man's eyes then fell on the area Gwen was sitting on. A wide puddle of liquid could be seen there.
"Sorry, maybe I drank too much earlier," Gwen muttered silently. Her face was now as red as a ripe tomato.
Everyone else's attention was also drawn to the puddle.
With a confused face, Seb scratched his head. However, because the hand that was used to scratch turned out to be the wet one, the man instead wiped it on his clothes. Gwen grimaced at that. Seb, who realized his mistake, flinched again and looked away. The atmosphere beca even more awkward.
Maybe in normal tis, Seb's behavior would be funny. However, in an intense situation like this, I would hardly laugh.
I left the house again to check on the birds. This ti the two of them circled the house, occasionally tapping the wooden walls with their beaks.
And it continued even after I pressed the fast-forward button.
The monster birds only left at sunset. However, I can't imdiately assu that my colonists are safe. I make sure the birds go as far as possible, disappearing from territory I can check on.
Even so, I still can't breathe a sigh of relief. There were still so Biruhuds who had been chasing the horses. Unfortunately, I couldn't check their whereabouts via the flight feature. Unless I followed them from the start, I couldn't find any animals in my territory. If I could do that, it would be effortless to find an animal for Kat to hunt.
Unless the animals are going to attack my colonists, then I will be able to see them in my colonists' territory.
In the end, I decided to make my colonists start doing activities again. There's no use worrying about the birds I can't see.
"Am I the only one who feels that we're safe?" The first to speak was Manu, after I gave the order.
"I-I haven't felt it yet," Sun answered in a ager voice. "And is this a good ti for us to talk?"
Kat quickly got up and ran to the toilet. She tripped and almost fell because it was so dark. Thankfully, Kat survived to the end. I don't want the others to embarrass themselves by accidentally peeing in their pants.
"I also feel that we are safe." Seb chid in, then leaned his head towards Sun, saying as I instructed. "I know it's sudden, but I feel like this needs to be said right away. So, what are you going to do after this?"
Sun was silent for a mont, then shook her head.
Seb's smile blossod. "Then will you join us?"
"Looks like I have no other choice." Sun smiled back.
[New colonist acquired]
"Ah, looks like I'll have to light the fire. It's dark in here, and it's getting colder." Manu gets up and goes to the warehouse.
"Errrr... Your na is Sebastian, right?" Gwen asked timidly. "May I have a favor?"
"Just call Seb." The man smiled again. "And, of course, you can ask for help."
Gwen looked down. Her face was still so red. "Because I've been holding my pee for a while, for so reason, my legs don't have the strength .... Can I ask you to help stand up? Then .... Ah, I'm sorry I wet the floor of your house."
Well, at least your pee doesn't stink, Gwen.
"Oh... Ah, well....." Seb gulped. The man got up and stretched out his right hand but imdiately replaced it with his left. That right hand is the one that had been exposed to Gwen's pee.
"Relax, Gwen," Sun spoke with a flushed face. "You're not the only one peering in the pants."
Gwen, who had just stood up, couldn't help but stare at Sun. However, over ti she and Sun laughed together. Seb just smirked at the two won. Maybe he doesn't know if it is appropriate to laugh at the wetting of the two won.
Finally, my colonists were able to do activities, although they didn't really do much. After eating boiled potatoes and jerky, my colonists' standard nu, they all went to bed.
Except for Gwen, she motioned for to follow her out.
"I can't use my psychic abilities all day long. I need to rest it from ti to ti." The woman stretched her body and looked up at the overcast sky. "However, I've been able to sense your presence ever since, Mr. Spirit."
Mr. Spirit, huh? Weird na, but I don't know what other nickna would be suitable for .
"Well, that's the guardian spirit's job," I answered her.
The woman closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Seeing Sun's wound, I know that what attacked her was no ordinary beast... Hey, Mr. Spirit..... Please, tell it was the worst."
"Sorry, I can't say that."
"Ah." Gwen looked up at the sky again.. "I see."
