Chapter 158 - 158: Van Slept With Boss!

Van blinked numerous times as he watched as Latanya slowly closed the door behind her. Her dark skin slowly disappeared as the little moonlight that seeped from the door vanished; all that was left were the sound of her breaths and her green eyes which were slowly being illuminated by Van's adjusting eyes.

"..."

Once again, Van was frozen and could only watch as Latanya slowly made her way into his make-shift bed made of leaves. She sat down, with Van not even being able to refuse her advance. Her robes slightly ruffled, lifting up its edges and revealing more of her dark skin.

"What… what do you want?" Van then stuttered as he tried to calm himself down.

"I should be the one asking you that question, boy." Latanya let out a short sigh as she looked Van directly in the eyes, "You didn't come back to my quarters, I told you to come find me after."

"...Oh," right… there was something like that. If so, there was only one thing that he wanted, "Then let's go outside, back to my world."

"...You know I can't do that," Latanya once again let out a sigh as she slowly lay herself down on the bed. "...At least not until I know this Village is safe."

"Why are you truly here?"

"I'm not used to the bed in Chief's quarters," Latanya whispered as she slightly adjusted herself on the bed, her gigantic bosoms jiggling freely, "...I am more used to something like this now."

"...Then why not find Reed's house?"

"I told you, I need to hear what you want so I can reward you," she then slightly lifted herself up, using her hand to support her head as she once again looked at Van. With her body slightly rotated to the side, her loose robes quickly disentangled, completely exposing her plump breasts.

"..."

"...You can have my body if you want to."

"Why would I want that."

"Oh, you don't want it because it's been used?" Latanya's words became softer and softer as her fingers tapped their way towards Van, "I can heal every part of my body… even that. It would make you feel that you're doing it with someone… fresh."

"..." As soon as Van heard Latanya's words, his hands slowly stretched towards her face.

"Ho…" Latanya could not help but let out a breath as she felt Van's hand softly touching her face," You finally gave--"

"Why would you do that?"

"Huh?"

"Why would you heal yourself and make yourself new?"

"...Won't you feel disgusted if you slept with someone that has--"

"Someone once told me that the scars that we have on our body make us… more than what we are…

...I think we… you are fine that way you are now, Miss Latanya."

"That…" For once in her life, Latanya Boss was at a loss as to what to say.

"Besides, weren't you also the one who said that we look cooler showing the scars we have?" Van let out a small chuckle as he pulled back his slightly long hair. And for once in his life, he willingly showed his whole face to someone.

Without his hair blocking his face, the scar that stretched from his left eyebrow can now fully be seen. It trailed all the way across his cheek, only fading as it got near towards his chin.

"You…" Latanya's loud breaths echoed throughout the room as her eyes were stuck on Van's face. They remained like this for a while… but, after a few seconds, she suddenly lifted her whole body and leaned her face close to Van's.

"..."

"..."

"Oi, Van! You awake yet? Don't you know what time it is!?"

With the sun once again bathing the Village, the first official day of the Prisoners living in the Local Village has begun. There were already a lot of people walking around the Village, greeting each other, but most still trying to avoid the Prisoners.

Gil was currently standing in front of Van's new house, his yawns drowned by the sound of him knocking on his door. "Nisha and Cynthia are also awake already, we're all waiting for you so we can all eat at the same time…

...Don't tell me you're still sulking about us not buying you food last night?"

"Oi, Van. Are you still seriously asleep?"

Gil was about to knock on the door again, but before he could do so, it opened.

"Finall--"

Gil's words instantly froze as he saw someone that shouldn't be coming out of Van's house… coming out of Van's house. Gil could only remain frozen as he saw Latanya yawning in front of him, her clothes disheveled and slightly loose.

"Oh, Van. Your guard is here to fetch you," Latanya only patted Gil's shoulder a couple of times before she left and made her way back to her own quarters.

"..."

"...Mister Gil, did you say something about food?" Van also let out a yawn as he walked towards his door.

"..."

"Mister Gil? Are you… alright?" Van slightly tilted his head to the side as he looked at Gil, who was still completely stiff. "Mister G--"

"Ah! Y… yes, of course!" Finally, Gil was able to recover; his eyes, however, were not able to look Van straight in the eyes. "W… was that Boss just now?"

"...Yes," Van slightly shrugged his shoulders, "She spent the night here."

Hearing Van's words, Gil could not help but gulp, "Did… did… did the two of you…" The color of Gil's face was starting to merge with his red hair as he continued to stutter with his words.

"...What?"

"Nothing! L… let's go, they are waiting for us!"

"..."

Van could only raise an eyebrow as he followed Gil. Gil kept quiet the whole walk, with the occasional glancing that made Van slightly uncomfortable. After a few minutes, they reached a part of the Village that Van has not explored yet.

There were a lot of people gathered, it would seem that it was some sort of market. Van could not help but be surprised that a settlement this size even had something like this.

"Van, Gil. Here, here!"

Nisha and Cynthia were already standing on the side with food in their hand. "It would seem that you slept well, Van."

"...A little," Van muttered as he grabbed the food that Nisha was handing to him. It sort of looked like a piece of bread, with little flosses of meat on top of it.

"Tch. This is why beggars remain as beggars. You should wake up earlier."

"..." Van could not help but slightly glance to the side, only to find Gerald eating with them.

"Where did that even come from?" Nisha's eye twitched as soon as she heard Gerald's sudden words of provocation. She let them tag along with them since he seemed to know Van quite well, but it would seem that they didn't actually get along.

She then looked towards Gil, whose eyes seem to be completely sedated.

"...What's wrong with you? Weren't you all smiles earlier?"

"..."

"...Gil?" Nisha started waving her hand in front of Gil's face. Gil, however, remained unresponsive. "What's his prob--"

"Van…"

Before Nisha could finish her words, Gil finally let out a whisper.

"What was that?"

"Van…"

"Hm? What about Van?"

"Van slept with Boss!"

"!!!"
