Reborn as an Evolving Space Monster: Harem Of Otherworldly Beauties-Chapter 339: A Banquet?

"Uwa…?"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Cero asked with narrow eyes and a frown.

Roka took a moment before answering.

"Going to Jin must be a secret. We don't know how their people would react if they see people from Wor. Their rules and laws are incredibly strict. More than once, foreigners were made prisoners for years. The reasons for their imprisonment remain unknown. The reason why the Syndicate doesn't do anything about it is probably the same reason why they were going to let Jin buy us. We can't afford to be seen, or to get in any kind of trouble."

"What does that have to do with Lith?"

"Well…" Roka pressed her lips together, looking away. "She has appeared on the news, alongside Liz and I."

Cero frowned. It was true.

While the incident was just a random miscellaneous piece of news on Wor, to anyone who sees Lith, it would be a way to connect her to Wor.

"After getting there, Lith would not be allowed to go out of the ship we'll be using. No matter what, she must stay in there. In fact, the people that the Prime Minister will be sending with me won't leave either. On Jin, I will be completely alone. Only I, as the Commander of the mission that allowed us to obtain a Tsero Crystal, will be safe even if they were to try something."

"You're too famous for them to try something, huh?"

"Yes." Roka nodded. "I might not be famous when it comes to the average person, but those in high-ranking places of authority know me. As such, I will probably be safe. I'll be hiding anyway. With a disguise or something, so…"

Cero placed a hand on his chin.

"You're saying that after the incident, Lith cannot be trusted to remain inside the ship?"

"Well, no… That's not what I'm saying. Her going in and out was never an issue. She's completely free here. Things might have gotten out of hand but… Anyways, it's for her safety. If she ends up in trouble or imprisoned for one reason or another, her inability to talk will make it impossible to straighten things out. Jin, in the first place, doesn't care for straightening things out. They hand out life sentences and the death penalty with ease." Roka scratched her head, turning towards Lith.

The latter tilted her head.

"If Lith gets naked, like she usually does, that would be grounds for imprisonment. For a life sentence."

"They take public indecency that seriously, huh?"

"They do." Roka turned towards him. "I'm not joking about this, Cero. In and out. Nearly invisible. That's what we need. Anyone who sticks out is thrown in a dungeon."

Cero's eyes grew cold as he imagined the scene.

"They can try." He said, cracking his knuckles.

"Your strength isn't a debate, but when facing an entire Planet's military, no one stands a chance. Additionally, the Syndicate and, therefore, the whole world… Is likely to side with them on this. Even Wor would have to turn its back and look away from it." Roka pressed her lips together. "We aren't in the wilderness anymore."

"Tsk…" He sighed. "How I long for the wilderness. So, it's because of my Invisibility that you want me there."

"W-Well, yes. With your invisibility, you could help me stay out of trouble and… Stuff."

"Leaving Lith for three weeks is too much. Plus, if I were to go, there's this Planet on the way that I would want to check out… It would end up being a whole month."

"That's why I wanted to ask here." Roka muttered, scratching her nape. "You know everything now, so…" She nodded. "By the way, it's the Prime Minister who's pushing for Lith not coming with us… Though he referred to her as Aquamarine..."

"The Prime Minister? Why does he care?"

"The problems that getting in trouble on Jin could cause… Is what he cares about." Roka scratched her head. "If it were up to me, I would say that we could risk it. Especially if Liz, Rea, and Raya could come… But they have other…"

"If they come with us, they could remain with Lith while we're out and keep an eye on her, huh?"

"Yeah…"

"Hm…"

"Obviously, you don't have to come." Roka muttered, reminding him. "W-We're going there regardless, it would just be nice to… Have you with me… Um, with us…"

"I don't think I…" Cero's words trailed off. "Lith?"

She had tapped his back in the middle of his question. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

"Uwa." Lith exclaimed with a thumbs-up.

"Did you get all that?" Roka asked, suspicious.

"Uwa." She nodded.

"Are you sure?" Cero's eyes narrowed. He turned to stand in front of her and stared into her eyes.

Lith immediately gulped.

"Did you get all that?" He asked, his face inches away from her.

Lith could feel herself almost start to sweat nervously as she tried her best to maintain his gaze.

"Ah… Uwa?"

"Hm…" Roka squinted, walking closer.

Lith took a step back as they ganged up on her.

Before she knew it, her back was against the wall, with both of them standing before her, hands resting thoughtfully on their chins, studying her every facial muscle contraction.

"I think she gets that we're talking about you leaving Wor."

"She gets that we're talking about me leaving without her."

"Uwa…?"

"I don't think you get how long a month is." Roka muttered.

"We've never been separated for more than twenty-four hours."

"Are you sure you're okay with that?" She asked with a slight frown.

Lith gulped. Another thumbs-up.

"You just don't like us ganging up on you like this, huh?" Cero muttered, reading her perfectly. "You would say anything for us to step back."

"Uwa…"

Roka's gaze repeatedly moved from Lith to Cero.

"I'm sure Raya and Rea won't leave Lith alone. I can almost see Liz making her her roommate right away."

"Yeah… Liz does love you a lot."

With the way that Lith's eyes shone at the mention of Liz's name.

"And you love her just as much, huh?"

Roka took a step back, remained unmoving for a bit, before taking another five steps away.

"I'll be leaving you now." She muttered. "You can uh… Take your time to think it over. Text me or… Whatever. You know… For the prep and all."

"Right."

"Uwa."

Roka scratched her head. While she had stepped away from Lith, Cero hadn't. Seeing them so close was… Awkward.

"Alright. In any case… Whether you come with or not, the ship is leaving after the banquet so…" Roka waved before turning away. "See you."

"Okay."

Seconds later, Lith and Cero were left alone.

"Wait, banquet…?"

"Uwo…?"
