Reborn as an Evolving Space Monster: Harem Of Otherworldly Beauties - Chapter 214

Chapter 214: This Doesn’t Feel Like A Mission…?
“That’s so not fair…” Liz grumbled to herself. “Roka gets to go out with him while I have to take care of this…” She brought down the piece of machinery a bit too fast, which caused Bak to frown at her. “Ugh…” Liz sighed. “There isn’t much left, but it’s not like I’ll be able to find them. So I’m stuck…”

Her gaze moved to the right.

Ten steps away from her,

“Uwoo!” The female Granilith explained, waving her jacket to the right and then to the left.

“Why do I have to babysit…?” Liz sighed as she rubbed her face. “I mean… I don’t mind, but doing this while Roka is with him is a bit…”

“What’s got you sighing like that?” Kris asked as he stepped closer.

“Nothing, really.” She sighed again.

“Let’s get this done quickly, alright?” Kris said with a wide smile, slapping his hand against the piece of machinery by his side.

‘Easy for you to say…’ Liz rolled her eyes. ‘You’re barely doing anything.’

“Oh, come on! Cheer up!” Kris shouted excitedly. “We’re partying tonight! Celebrating!”

“We are?” Liz scratched her head. “Oh, right. Yeah…” Her gaze quickly scanned the area. “Doesn’t feel like a party.”

“Hehehe!” Kris chuckled, bringing his hand closer to his mouth as he whispered. “Don’t worry, I gave him a mission.”

“Uhu.” Liz nodded, correctly assuming that he was talking about Cero. “Hm… I guess we haven’t really talked about that name since then…” She whispered to herself.

Liz turned back towards Kris, shaking her head.

“What kind of mission?”

“Well…”

***

“Who gave you that?” Roka asked, pointing at the Paru’s wrist.

“Someone did.” He answered, bending his elbow. “It’ll help me figure out the right kind we need.”

“You know how to use it?” Roka tilted her head. “Wait, before that. The right kind of what?”

“Does it matter?”

The Commander’s eyes narrowed. She frowned slightly.

“Alright, then.” She shrugged, moving her gaze away from him. “Keep your secrets.”

The two walked for a bit through the dense forest.

It didn’t take long for the Paru’s lips to curl upwards.

“It’s killing you not knowing, isn’t it?”

“IT’S NOT!” Roka shouted suddenly, her wide eyes staring at the ground as her head tilted. “Yeah, it is.”

After having reacted that way, there was no way the lie could hold.

“I’ll tell you in a bit.”

“Ugh.” Roka looked away.

“Just because you’re their Commander doesn’t mean you need to know everything. Especially things involving me.”

“I’m not asking about you! Someone from MY unit gave you a device of OURS. And someone from MY unit gave you a MISSION! I’m not asking about you at all!”

“You don’t have to be that defensive about it.” The Paru whispered, staring at the bushes and trees as he passed them. “I’d be happy to hear you wanted to know more about me and what I was up to.”

“S-SHUT UP!”

Roka scratched the side of her forehead.

Her gaze slowly moved down towards his crotch.

“You’re holding a bag. That’s the gathering part, I assume.”

“Look at you! What a detective you are. Yes, the bag is hold and gather things.”

“F-Fuck you…” Roka shook her head. “You’re wearing pants. Ha! Finally decided to become civilized?”

The Paru suddenly stopped walking.

“W-What?” Roka asked as he stared at her.

His hands suddenly moved to his waist.

“Want me to take them off-”

“No! No! J-Just keep them on!”

“Are you sure? I don’t mind giving you something to peek at-”

“I would never! Alright?!”

“Yeah, yeah…” He chuckled as he started walking again. “Oh, looks like those he showed me.”

“So the mission and device come from a ‘He’. That’s a start.” Roka sighed.

“Should go like this… And…” The Paru whispered to himself, scanning the berries growing from the bush. “It’s a match. Nice.”

The two walked through the forest for a while longer.

“I haven’t seen any Graniliths or Wizzos…” Roka whispered. “That’s suspicious. Think something hunted them down?”

“Looks like it.” the Paru pressed his lips together as he turned towards her. “Can you use your detective skills to figure out who did?”

“Ugh…” Roka rolled her eyes as she grumbled. “Well, thanks for that. I feel more comfortable leaving everyone.”

“Sure.” The Paru moved his gaze to the left and activated his -Hyper Sensitive Eyes- Skill.

‘Doesn’t feel much like a mission.’ Roka thought, scratching her head. ‘I thought he would need help or assistance, but this is kind of…’

“Let’s go that way.” The Paru said as he pointed.

“Uh, sure.” Roka took a step in that direction. “Wait, why?”

“Why not?” He shrugged.

“…”

It didn’t take long for them to arrive at the spot the Paru had been pointing towards.

“Seriously?”

“Yeah.” The Paru nodded. “Wanna go for a swim?”

“No…?”

“Well, I do.” He shrugged. “It’s awfully hot here.”

“Ha!” Roka chuckled. “So you got heated from being around me? Ha! How dare you make fun of me for being a virgin when you’re much worse!”

The Paru remained staring at her with no reaction, which quickly caused Roka to blush and look away.

“That might be the most embarrassing I’ve ever heard someone say-”

“Shut up!” Roka shouted, hiding her face with her palms.

She shook her head and started walking towards the large pond in front of them.

“A-Anyway, you’re sure there’s nothing in there?”

“Yeah. I cleaned up before.”

The Paru activated his -Hyper Sensitive Eyes- Skill to make sure.

Indeed, there wasn’t anything below the surface.

‘The Wizzos probably move from one pond to the other. They cleaned up this one, and I took care of them.’

Roka crouched and placed a hand in the water.

“It’s pretty cold.”

“Perfect. Cause it’s too hot right now.”

“Is it?”

“Yeah.” The Paru nodded. “Seeing you crouched like that… How could I not get heated.”

“…!”

The Paru lay the bag aside and stretched his arms upwards.

“C-Can you stop making fun of me?”

“Fine, fine.” The Paru sighed. “Even though I’m not really…”
