My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 203

They didn’t need to make a special trip to the beach to see the sea; they could save that for another time. After entering and traversing the mountain, it took them hours just to settle into the space and begin farming.

She and Duke returned to the farmland to resume their tasks, and the back-and-forth was quite exhausting, taking them over five hours. Altogether, they had spent six hours inside the space by now, leading them to believe it was now afternoon only a few hours before the sunsets in the outside world.

They had been away from the Villa for too long. If their enemies noticed, it might raise suspicions. Kisha would rather have them think she and Duke were screwing each other in the forest than suspect something more dangerous. Six hours was too long to use as an excuse for them to screw each other, no matter how great Duke’s stamina is.

She gave Duke a side glance. She couldn’t even imagine if Duke would last that long, realizing what she was thinking, Kisha felt her face grow hot from embarrassment. She didn’t know that she really was such a horny woman, she fanned her face a little.

"Are you tired?" Duke asked, noticing Kisha’s ragged breathing and flushed face. He assumed it was from trekking through the mountains. If only he could read her mind, he might have interpreted her differently. Lost in contemplation of the Space’s remarkable surroundings and the laws governing it, Duke had forgotten they were alone with the entire place to themselves.

Had he realized, he might have been tempted to seize the opportunity to pin Kisha down and take her then and there.

But since they were already inside, they continued with their farming. While Duke tilled more land, Kisha set about spreading seeds in the seedling boxes. After finishing that, she began planting a variety of vegetables—tomatoes, cucumbers, okra, squash, and everything else in her inventory.

She didn’t hold back, recognizing the value of this food not only for meeting the mission’s requirements but also for its potential to benefit her people and assist those in need.

At first, Duke struggled with the hoe, often hitting the soil awkwardly with its edge. However, once he found his rhythm and got the hang of it, he picked up his pace and began tilling plot after plot without rest. Kisha was impressed by his impressive stamina.

Even during their battles outside, he was usually the last to get tired, covering much of the vanguard and leaving Kisha to watch over his back when needed.

"Enjoying the view?" Duke’s teasing voice startled her, snapping her back to reality. "Please stop staring like that. I’m barely keeping myself in check. If I lose what little restraint I have left, who knows what might happen? I might just plant my seeds deep in your soil right here, right now." He smirked, a mix of mischief and teasing in his eyes.

As she processed his words, Kisha realized Duke was teasing her, cleverly connecting his remarks to their current farming activities. Unsure whether to laugh or blush, she found Duke’s mischievous demeanor akin to an incubus. She couldn’t predict if she could resist his advances when he was playful like this.

His suggestive words and playful tone weren’t offensive but rather endearing and enticing to hear.
