Chapter 193: A Hidden Tomboy
Alex and Dal woke up early in the morning. Both of them were well rested, despite staying up until midnight and having sex in the middle of the woods. And they were both extremely eager to start the day. With Dal going out of her way to prepare breakfast for Alex while he worked on setting down the second story of the log cabin.
By a solid nine in the morning, Alex had finished his task, and emerged from his cabin, or what would eventually become one while covered in sweat and grime. Dal looked at the man as if he were simply too much work to handle. Before pulling out the bowl of scrambled eggs that she had prepared and spoon feeding Alex.
“Say Ah!”
Alex was, of course slightly embarrassed to be treated as if he were a mere child. But regardless, he did as the girl instructed and stuck out his tongue while saying “Ah.” He continued to have the young woman feed him, until he was finally finished, Which she then shoved a piece of bacon in his mouth, before washing it down with some milk they had stored in the icebox. After doing this, Dal complimented them and on his efforts, as if he truly was a child.
“Good boy, now how about you go get cleaned up before we head back to the mansion?”
Alex merely snorted in disdain before stripping out of his clothes, where he walked towards the large body of water that exited in this secluded cove while mocking Dal for her comments.
“Okay mom! I’ll go do that, mom!”
This caused Dal to giggle as she watched Alex jump into the pool and clean himself with some soap he had made from leeched wood ashes and animal fat. Once the man had thoroughly scrubbed off all the dirt and grime from his body, only then did he return to where he left his clothes. However, Alex noticed a message appear in his vision that he didn’t expect while he was cleaning himself.
[Dal is happy that she can have such a close relationship with you despite the many women by your side!]

By the time Alex actually scrambled out of the pool and showed up in front of Dal the Queen of Hearts had already worked her magic and was nowhere to be found. Alex simply stared in silence at the young woman, making her incredibly insecure, as she quickly asked him just what the hell he was looking at.
“What? What’s wrong? Do I have something on my face?”
Alex however simply smirked and shook his head, not willing to spoil the surprise until after they had gone back to the mansion. Thus he responded in a deliberately cryptic way, one that caused Dal to pout once more.
Alex, of course shrugged this off, as if he knew all about these natural resources from the start. Acting cool in the face of ignorance was always a good way to impress the ladies. If you knew how to pull it off that was, and Alex did it better than anybody.
“Only the best for my lovely ladies. So, Nari, what do you think about my campsite?”
Nari seemed to be far more outdoorsy and tomboyish than Alex had first expected. In fact, it opened up a brand new side of her personality that he did not expect. Sure, she enjoyed Judo, but that didn’t actually mean that she was this type of girl. But she was, and she was quick to roll up her sleeves and help Alex with his cabin, while making her own comments on it.
“Impressive work considering you’re an absolute novice... Did you know that my dad owns his own construction company? He worked his way up from the bottom. Because of that, I know a thing or two about what you’re trying to do there...”
Nari then again surprised Alex with her knowledge on the world of construction, as she thoroughly examined the structure and gave Alex pointers on how best to improve his cabin. After a lengthy discussion, and getting some actual work done with double the amount of hands around. Alex and Nari retired to the campfire, which they had to restart from scratch.
It was a good thing they brought ample water and food stockpiles for the journey. Because the two of them actually bonded over construction of all things, rather than some heroism on Alex’s part, or him showing off his manliness, like he had done for the other women.
At the end of the day, the two of them finished the same amount of work in one day that Alex had achieved on his own over the last four or five. And Alex was far less exhausted as well. Ultimately, by the warmth of the campfire, the young couple snacked on MREs and talked about their plans for the next day.
After a hard day’s work, and much in terms of accomplishment, Alex asked Nari something that he was not prepared to when he first set out on this idea of camping in the woods and building a cabin from scratch.
“Hey Nari... I couldn’t have gotten all of this work done in this short amount of time without you... Nor would I have known about several things that you warned me about... Would you like to accompany on the rest of these journeys? You, me, and one other girl to tend to the fire?”
Nari blushed for the first time since setting out with Alex on their little journey, showing off her feminine side as she looked away from Alex and bit her lip in hesitation. Alex was indeed surprised that it was a bond through physical labor, and not something more romantic that boosted Nari to her maximum affection.
[Nari is thankful that you accepted her tomboyish side that she has been suppressing for years! She now feels like she can be her true self around you and looks forward to helping you build this cabin and everything else that you want to achieve during your brief vacation in this tropical paradise!]
[+75 Affection from Nari]
[Nari’s Affection: 200/200]
Once Alex saw this message, he knew what her answer would be before she said it.
“Yes!”
