Hvisland: A VR Colony Sim Game

"As expected, you would act like this, Suja." The newly appeared Leva squeaked. She pressed her shoulders against the hut post while crossing her arms across her chest. "You want to take revenge on the Redtooth tribe by using us to make that weapon, right?"

Suja shook his head. "I just thought that this weapon-making skill would be very useful. You can make weapons to protect yourself from stronger and more numerous enemies."

"What a lie." Leva laughed disdainfully. "Apart from seeking revenge, you also want to dominate others, right? You want to have a wider area of ​​power to satisfy your lust."

"I don't know where you got that idea from." Suja sighed, then got up and faced Leva. "You know yourself, right? When I was the leader, I never took any other area. I have always adhered to the principle of not attacking anywhere else, unless they attack our tribe first."

Leva shrugged. "I know that you discussed this with the other elders several times, right? Fortunately, it never came to fruition."

"Why would I do that now? I am old …." Suja cleared his throat, started putting the firearms into the sack again. "This is just a suggestion, if this tribe doesn't agree, I have absolutely no problem."

After saying that, Suja handed the sack to Leva, who immediately raised an eyebrow.

"Why did you give me this thing?" The red-haired woman asked. "I don't need it."

Suja brought the sack closer to Leva's chest and smiled. "Save it, so I don't check it again and reverse engineer the stuff."

Despite looking doubtful, Leva accepted the sack.

I have to admit, Suja's words were also valid. The threats that come our way can be bigger than ever. Of course, there is no harm in improving other things besides fighting skills. My colonists already have the firearms, but if any of them are damaged, they can't do anything because they don't have the knowledge about them. Especially if one of them can't be used anymore. Of course, someone has to create a new one.

However, at the same time, I was thinking about various things. What if Suja managed to control my colonists and put up a fight with those firearms. Maybe now Suja still can't do anything, but what if he becomes like Tosa? Tosa managed to escape the orders of his guardian spirit and was able to mobilize humans to fight.

Not to mention if other groups want to seize knowledge about these weapons. If they succeed, then their way of fighting will change. Something absolutely terrible could happen.

Besides all that, other bad possibilities kept swirling around in my head.

"Arrrgggghhhh!!!" Suddenly Manu screamed and fell down, starting to flounder on the floor. Leva and Suja rushed to help him.

"Looks like we're done with this therapy session," said Suja, who was having a hard time holding Manu's body down.

***

Hours had passed, Manu finally stopped waddling like a madman and was now being fed by Seb. Manu looked more tired than usual because he had to do some activities before he relapsed. It seemed very hard to him. His shiver was also worse than yesterday.

"After a few times of practicing with such focus, I believe that you will be completely healed Manu. You just need patience and consistency." Suja said while chewing mashed potato with jerky pieces. "It would be even better if you did something that didn't require too much physical exertion during a break like this. You can refocus on distracting yourself from the pain."

"Ah, you can carve chess pieces, Manu." Seb suggested.

"Carve? You guys don't have a chisel…. Ah, maybe you mean carving with a knife for small objects?" Suja stroked his beard for a moment. "I don't think that's wise. His hands were still shaking. He wasn't in good shape to wield a sharp object like knife. What I mean is like learning a harmless skill. However, unfortunately I am not a person who can teach with words alone. At least I need props."

Leva stopped eating and narrowed her eyes at the former leader of her tribe. I also realized what Suja meant. Apparently, he was mentioning the gun issue again, but in a more subtle way.

And I've decided. Maybe that's a good idea.

"Just say what you want about those firearms, Suja." I whispered to the old man.

"I have something I want to tell all of you." Suja sighed then looked at the others in turn. "There are still very few of you. I think you should have more fighting power to defend yourself from something stronger in the future."

Leva put her bowl roughly on the floor, causing a rather loud clattering. "Shut up, old man. I'll punch you if you talk more than this."

"You want to say about the reverse engineering of those firearms, Suja?" Manu chimed in with his eyes closed and lips trembling. "I agree with you. It will be very useful for us."

"What the fuck?" Leva looked at her partner in disbelief. "You heard what I said earlier in the hut, right? Maybe he will use us to take revenge on Redtooth!"

"Sorry, you speak nonsense. Maybe because you hate Suja so much, you think all of Suja's actions are meant to harm us." Manu opens his eyes. "How can he use us for revenge just by asking us to learn to make weapons? In the end, we have to agree with him to attack Redtooth, right? We just have to refuse him if he asks us to do that."

Leva folded her arms across her chest. "Now I ask you. So why do you agree with this old bastard?"

"That…" Manu winced in pain again, starting to clutch his chest. "In the end we do need more strength. We were able to successfully survive only because I consumed those devil's tears, and I don't want to do it again. One time is more than enough."

"I know what I'm saying is rude. After all, I haven't joined this tribe for long." Suja sighed after I whispered to him again.. "But maybe we should vote on this."
