World Four

This time Wilson came back much faster.

Arisa had prematurely arrived at the starship's gate, and beside him stood Gayel, who had decided to stop playing pretend with the other pirates. The sight of two male insects, usually at odds, now coexisting harmoniously irritated Fidd, who had felt certain he had Wilson's loyalty.

Wilson had no intention of caring about his feelings, and rushed directly towards Arisa after seeing the male insect.

Arisa responded by opening her arms.

The more obvious size difference after the insect transformation made the surrounding pirates close their eyes, but the expected sound of the monster being knocked away did not appear.

Because when they were only a few centimeters apart, Wilson immediately ended his insect state and hugged Arisa with his arms.

Wilson took a deep breath, then he whispered, "I missed you so much, Lord."

The moment he saw Arisa standing at the door of the starship with her arms open to him, he suddenly didn't want to continue to play along with Fed, nor did he want to think about the mess between the Federation and the Empire anymore.

He just wanted to be with Arisa, just the two of them, the Zerg.

At first, he just wanted to realize this wish.

"Don't say anything here." Arisa glanced around. The pirates who met his gaze all looked away silently. "I don't have the interest to be watched."

Fed, who was under his close attention, showed a half-smile. When Fed was about to say something to him, he saw Wilson simply pick up the male insect and walk directly into the starship.

The familiar scene made Feder laugh. He turned around, as if finally noticing Gayel standing beside him. "I'm really happy to see your relationship getting better and better."

Gayel avoided Fed's gaze and said nothing.

If those pirates who pretended to praise him only made him feel simple fear, then the current Gayel only made him feel terrified - when he was talking to Arisa, the pirate standing outside the door was obviously not there to protect him, but to eavesdrop on what he and Arisa were talking about.

The other party didn't even try to hide this fact.

As the leader of the pirates, this matter must have been instructed by Fed.

So why on earth could Fede still put on this "nothing happened" face towards him?

Is it because I look too weak, like the type who wouldn't dare to confront him even after knowing all this?

"By the way, remember to change your habit of not looking at others when you are afraid." As Gayel avoided Fed's sight, Arisa's voice suddenly rang in his ear, "You are really stupid."

"Huh?" Gayel frowned at Arisa who suddenly spoke from the bed, feeling confused. "You come to pick a fight with me right after you wake up?"

"I just suddenly remembered this and wanted to remind you." Arisa said as she threw back the quilt, got out of bed, and sat down a distance away from Gayel. "Don't be shy with Fide."

"I can't do this..." Gayel looked down at his hands. "I never thought I would go through all this from the beginning. I was so arrogant that I thought I could change the distorted status quo of Zerg society, but in the end, I was just being used..."

"Maybe Wilson is right, you won't be tied to the pirates forever, but I have no other choice but to go this way now."

Now he could only choose to please Fed, even though he knew that the other party looked down on him and never considered himself as one of the same kind as their pirates.

"If that's all you think, then keep thinking that." Arisa turned the bone wing belonging to Wilson over and said, "Actually, I have another idea."

"What is it?" Gayaru looked at Arisa fiercely. "Tell me!"

"You could also find a female pirate on this starship and build a good relationship with her. That way, at least Feyd will try to treat you as one of them." Arisa offered this 'solution'.

But this method only made Gayel look at Arisa with a puzzled look: "Why didn't you play according to the routine?"

At this time, shouldn't we try our best to persuade him and let him join our camp so that he can continue to shine for our camp?

"I don't know, maybe it's because I just casually told you not to show your fear towards Fed." Arisa said this without looking at Gayel, "I don't have any extra expectations of you at all."

He knew clearly what kind of Zerg Arisa was. Her stance was fickle and it was entirely possible that she had been frightened by his words and stood out from the pirate camp, and then after some hesitation, she stood back in the pirate camp.

Therefore, he never thought that Gayel would choose to betray the pirates just because his family was liquidated because of his betrayal of the Federation. Now, it naturally doesn't matter which camp Gayel will choose to stand on in the end.

The contempt in Arisa's words was almost written on her fist as she threw it at him. Gayaru took a deep breath and told himself to calm down: "You are really annoying, Arisa."

It was annoying that she had to chat with him in the military academy, it was annoying that she looked down on him after being abducted to the pirates' starship, and it was also annoying that she suddenly said "I have no extra expectations of you" when he thought he was being pulled into the same camp.

But while feeling upset by Arisa's words, Gayaru felt relieved. Perhaps it was because the pretense between them had finally been torn off.

"Actually, I find you annoying, too." Arisa replied, supporting his chin. This time, he looked at Gayel with a smile, "I knew from the beginning that you would cause considerable damage to the Federation, so I wanted to get closer to you. I was right."

"So I should have informed the other Zerg of this matter in advance, so that they could control your channels of communication with the outside world. That way, the Federation probably wouldn't have to go through all this trouble." Arisa said word by word, "Do you know that every time I talk to you, I feel very tired?"

"——Wow." Arisa couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. "It feels so good to say these words. I've wanted to say these words to you for a long time, and now I finally get to do it!"

Gayel sneered.

On the one hand, he felt that what Arisa said was right. He knew that he had indeed caused irreparable damage to the Federation and the Empire. But on the other hand, he couldn't help but feel unhappy because of Arisa's tone and expression. So he directly gave Arisa the middle finger.

"By the way, you told me about your planet before." Arisa suddenly said, "It's been so long since you came to this place, do you still remember what it looks like?"

"...What do you mean?" Gayel was taken aback by the sudden change of topic. He scratched his head. "Are you talking about what this planet looks like from a distance?"

"It's like you're standing on a starship and looking at those planets from their perspective." Arisa described it this way. "What do your planets actually look like?"

"Hmm..." Gayel thought for a moment and said, "Blue and white interwoven, um... oh, and green and..."

Arisa didn't say anything, he just listened quietly.

Thinking of this, Gayel turned his head, mustered up the courage, and looked at Fed again.

Is it because they received different education since childhood?

Because he was born in a peaceful country on Earth, his family, although reluctant to accept his relationship with a man, still loved him. Because Arisa and Fed received the cold upbringing of the Zerg.

That's why they don't regard things that he can't accept as normal, and that's why they regard themselves as aliens.

Is his behavior of forcing his own survival model onto others' survival model arrogant or kind?

Catching the sight of Gayel, Fide blinked in response: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that suddenly?" Was Gayel going to tell him some nonsense about 'authority' again?

"Nothing." Gayel said as he turned around and left with his hands and feet together. "I just suddenly wanted to prove that Arisa was wrong."

Fide didn't quite understand. He looked at the female insect he had sent to monitor the conversation between Gayel and Arisa and asked, "What did they say in the room?"

"I sent you a message, Boss." The female insect stared at Gayel's retreating figure and pointed helplessly at the terminal in her hand. "But you ignored my communication request."

"Oh, we were blocked by Federation and Imperial starships." Fed suddenly thought of something, and when he said the second half of the sentence, his tone began to become heavy, as if suddenly shrouded in fog. "Six female insects died. They sacrificed their lives in exchange for the opportunity for us to leave."

All the pirates present were shocked.

As pirates who had deeply offended both the Federation and the Empire, they were already accustomed to death. However, every time they heard the news of their companions' death, they would still subconsciously feel sad: "Then-"

"Write down their names and the home addresses they left behind," Fed said, "and send them some currency regularly."

"Got it." The female insect responded in a low voice. He and his fellow pirates lowered their heads when they heard the message.

——Except for Fed who turned and left.

"—Don't forget them." He said before leaving.

The smile on his face grew wider and wider, until in the end he couldn't bring it back, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

He just laughed silently and strode into the door that was open for him.

…

The first thing Wilson smelled when he entered the room was a fragrance.

It was the star beast meat that the female insect was interested in. It had been steamed until it was soft and was still steaming. It was obvious that it had just been cooked.

He subconsciously looked at Arisa.

"I didn't make this." Arisa said as she took the piece of star beast meat. "This was made for me by a sub-female star pirate."

The words "I'm not hungry yet" had already rolled to Wilson's lips, but rolled back after hearing Arisa's "I just asked him to make one for you."

Although it was unnecessary, the tall female insect ate the star beast meat with great seriousness.

Arisa sat on the bed with her arms folded, the bone wings covering their heads again, and after Wilson ate the star beast meat, he began to talk to the male insect about what happened after the other left. When mentioning the male insect's father, Wilson noticed that Arisa raised her eyebrows slightly, but soon, Arisa's expression returned to calm.

If it weren't for the female insect's excellent eyesight, Wilson would almost think he was seeing things.

"He should have come for you." Wilson explained the situation at the time and also mentioned the male insect's behavior of jumping down regardless of the danger.

"Impossible, he doesn't care about me at all." Arisa sneered, "The only time he fulfilled his fatherly duties was by sending me to military school."

Even if he broke through to the intermediate level, the other party would just say "not bad" and then turn around and throw themselves into the arms of those female insects, even exceeding the Zerg's reproductive task.

Arisa was sad about the other person's "absence" in his life at first, but later he no longer felt sad about it.

What's there to be sad about?

In his eyes, I am probably just another offspring among his many insect offspring, so it's okay for him to think so - you just 'happened' to give me life, I won't have any unnecessary expectations of you.

"I still think..." Wilson could see that the male insect was in a bad mood at the moment, and he also knew that he had no intention of continuing the topic, but some impulse still drove him to say that, "He came here for you."

"Alright." Arisa made a 'pause' gesture, picked up the empty plate of star beast meat, and stood up. "Come with me to the kitchen, Wilson. We still have things to do when you come back."

"Okay." Wilson nodded, stood up, and suddenly remembered something, so he stopped behind the male insect.

When he reached the door, the male insect turned around and glanced at him, saying in a matter-of-fact tone, "Come and help me open the door. What are you standing there for? Are you waiting for me to invite you?"

"——Yes." Wilson strode excitedly to the door.

The door opened.

"It's just an empty plate," sighed the pink-haired female who took the plate from Arisa, "Why did you bother to bring it here?"

"I came by to thank you," Arisa said to him.

The pink-haired sub-female glanced at the tall female standing at the doorway with her arms folded, looking menacing. Then, she glanced back at Arisa. This time, her eyes held the same interest she had shown when she'd previously asked Arisa what she was doing with Wilson. "You and your female seem happy. That's good."

"Is there?" Arisa said, glancing at Wilson standing next to her. "You can also find a female insect."

"Are you... kidding?" Leslie said with a smile, "I'm just a sub-female. How can I possibly find a female?"

"I was just joking." Arisa shrugged, then he turned around and waved to Wilson, "Okay, Wilson, let's go."

Wilson nodded.

But unexpectedly, the 'pink-haired sub-female' reached out to stop Arisa. Then the pink-haired sub-female looked at Wilson, then looked at Arisa again: "...I have something to tell you."

Arisa glanced inside the kitchen. It was not working hours yet, so only the 'sub-female' in front of her was there. She had also helped to prepare the star beast meat.

He stopped Wilson, who had four eyes on his cheeks, and closed the kitchen door. Then he said to the pink-haired sub-female, "Okay. What do you want to tell me?"

"I don't know how you figured that out," Leslie fixed his gaze on the kitchen window, "but I have something to tell you."

Their conversation was quite brief.

Only a few minutes later, Wilson saw Arisa open the door to the kitchen.

He wanted to ask what the male insect and the strange sub-female had just said, but he felt it was difficult to open his mouth. After just a few hesitant thoughts, Wilson found that they had come to the door of the room again.

He opened the door.

"We didn't talk about anything." Arisa said as she walked through the door.

Yes, he and Leslie didn't talk about anything, he just threw some trash in the kitchen.

Regardless of whether the other party believed that he had been promoted to the intermediate level because of seeing the other party's wanted poster, and regardless of whether the other party's words that he could help were true or false, he decided to take the risk.

The situation couldn't be any worse.

"I'm just a little worried," Wilson whispered. He was learning to say what he wanted to say, just like the 'other self' in the spiritual sea said to Arisa, "I'm afraid he will do something bad to you."

"Don't worry about me." Arisa unbuttoned his clothes. He looked at Wilson, who didn't know where to look, and hooked his finger at him. "Okay, come over here now. I told you I have something to do with you now."

...It's too much. Is what the male insect wants to do what he thinks?

Or is it just a dream?

Wilson's Adam's apple rolled up and down. He took a tentative step forward and then slowly knelt down. Just when he was about to hug the male insect's legs... his vision suddenly turned, and he fell onto the bed with the male insect.

The bed, which was originally only responsible for bearing the weight of the male insect, suddenly made a creaking sound.

Wilson looked at the male insect above him. The close eye contact made his face flush, but he still tried to organize his words: "Yes... yes..."

"What is it?" Arisa looked at Wilson.

"Did you want to do this yourself?" Wilson asked, even though he wasn't sure if asking this would turn the male insect off. "...or are you just trying to trick me into doing something, like last time?"

"You still can tell that I was seducing you last time?" Arisa didn't answer, but just blinked, looking very interested. "I thought you didn't see anything at the time."

"I saw that, but I didn't want to at the time... I didn't want you to do it against your will." Wilson whispered.

He looked forward to these things more than anyone else, but he also knew that these things should not be done without the male insect's willingness.

He hoped the males would do this of their own accord.

Arisa didn't answer. He just stretched out his hand and gently pointed at Wilson's clothes: "Stop talking nonsense and take off your clothes."

The female insect quickly and decisively took off her clothes. Her battlefield-hardened body was devoid of any excess fat. "So what exactly is going on this time..."

"That's enough, stop asking." Arisa's face was already showing a hint of impatience. "To be honest, Wilson, I still don't know what kind of feelings I have for you."

Similarly, he still didn't know why Wilson dared to say to him, "I hope my feelings for you are the love mentioned in that book."

"I just..." He watched Wilson wipe away the falling tear with the back of his hand, and suddenly found that his figure was gradually overlapping with the 'Wilson' who also realized that something was wrong with him in his mind sea. "I just suddenly... wanted to do this."

"That's good." The female insect answered him, then stretched out her hands and put them around his neck.

"That's good."
