Chapter 197: An Innocent Soul in the Wilderness
Despite spending the entire three days of the tropical storm doing nothing but having sex. Alex and the three girls woke up well rested on the fourth day. And they were happy to see that the storm had cleared. Allowing them to not only get back to work, but to head back to camp for resupply.
Thus, after having their morning breakfast, the three of them got together what was needed for their journey before heading down to the mansion. It was a brief but enjoyable journey. And Alex knew that after the experience he had grown significantly closer to Dal, Nari, and Min-Ah.
Like his previous triumphant returns, Alex decided to take the day off, and get some much needed rest and relaxation. He did the usual of bathing, sauna, hot tub, message, and manicure/pedicure, while also visiting the clinic for a full scale physical checkup. Including blood tests, and searches for other things like parasites, cancer, et cetera.
After all, if he had a private health clinic with fully staffed doctors and nurses. He might as well take advantage of it while he had the time. It was only after everything came back in the clear that Alex finally decided to spend the night with his other women.
During his time of relaxation, the island’s staff ferried supplies up the hill and into the cove, that were desperately needed both in terms of construction and everyday survival. And eventually, after spending the night with his many women. Alex gathered them to choose who was next for the journey.
If there was anything this tropical storm taught him, it was that he would have to wait until later to bring the pregnant milfs along for the ride. After all, there were some things that needed to be done that required physical labor, and Alex would never ask the women who were carrying his daughters to do so.
Thus, he selected none other than Mimi for the job. Mimi was similarly useless due to her heavily sheltered upbringing. But… She had the ability to actually perform physical labor, and could easily learn how to do such tasks in the event of an emergency.
Mimi naturally came prepared for the journey in a similarly fashionable and adorable way that Min-Ah had. Dressed in an old school explorer type outfit along with a pith helmet. Alex could help but fawn over the girl, as she was just too adorable.
This caused Mimi to smile, and grab hold of Alex’s arm while she hugged him tight. As for Dal and Nari, they simply rolled their eyes. All of Alex’s women had gotten accustomed to the way that Alex doted on Mimi, but it nevertheless would frequently cause a roll of the eyes.
But Alex simply ignored this. He enjoyed spoiling Mimi, and thus he actually offered to carry her pack in addition to his ruck. Which caused the girl to frolic about in the trail that Alex and the others had paved during their previous journeys.
Whether it was the butterflies, the wild deer that could easily be spotted, or the abundant supply of quail and jungle fowl that existed on the island. Mimi couldn’t help but gasp and point out in excitement every time she saw a living being that was not Alex or the others.
This was, after all her first time ever seeing wild animals other than perhaps in a zoo. And thus, the young idol had a sense of childlike wonder that was both wholesome and endearing. It was perhaps because of this innocent personality that Alex’s other women never really complained about the special way that he treated Mimi. Not that Alex really cared what they thought about his relationship with the girl.
Once they had arrived at the campsite, Mimi marvelled at the natural beauty of the location, and all the work that Alex and his girls had put into the campsite. Everything was perfectly planned. From the location of the cabin that was currently under construction, and its outhouse. To the dugout shelter that would accommodate the fur of them for the time being.
The previous cooking area had been dismantled, since that was now handled by the stove within the dugout shelter, and the fire pit was removed for similar reasons. Mimi couldn’t help but exclaim in excitement when she witnessed the secluded paradise within the larger island utopia.
“It’s so pretty! Did you really build all of this?”
Alex scratched the back of his neck before confirming that for the most part everything was built by him.
“For the most part, but I did have some help from Nari, Dal, and Min-JI. Now Mimi, your job for the next day will be gathering water from the creek, and pouring it on the top of this water filtration system. After a certain amount of water is filtered, you will replace the sand, and charcoal as such.”
Alex then spent thirty minutes walking the girl through her task. Whereby the end of it she pulled out her little plastic beach shovel and accompanying pail with an eager smile on her face.
“I understand!”
With this, Mimi was left in charge of the fresh water supply, while Dal once more went out and gathered edible plants for their meal. Meanwhile, Alex and Nari continued work on the cabin, which laid in an exact horizontal line with the dugout shelter they had built four days prior.
Hours passed, and finally Alex and Nari had finished the final wall of the second story of the log cabin. The next few days would be building the roof, followed by the windows and door. Once that was complete, they would have a second shelter to enjoy in the great outdoors of this tropical paradise.
By the time dinner arrived, Dal had once more gathered rice, onions, garlic, and all the other resources she would need to make a nice dinner. However, Alex and the others were in for an incredible surprise. Because Dal had brought with her some cooking ingredients from the mansion.
She ended up making chow fun, with freshly made rice noodles, pork from the leftover boar that Alex had caught a week ago, poultry from a red jungle fowl that Alex had hunted earlier in the day, and freshwater prawns that Mimi had caught in the river. As for the vegetables added to the mixture, Dal had foraged them all herself.
Alex and the others gathered in the dugout shelter to share the meal. That was all the better due to the hard work that Alex and the others had put into making it. Interestingly enough, Mimi had helped with the meal in a major way.
While she was waiting for the water to purify, she had gone out to play in the river, where she found and caught the oysters that were used in the freshly made oyster sauce, and the freshwater prawns that were used in place of shrimp.
Meanwhile, Dal had gathered the soybeans used in the soy sauce that she made from scratch. In fact, the only person who didn’t help in the preparation of the meal was actually Nari. Who felt a bit left out when Alex complimented the two women on their efforts to create an amazing meal.
Alex pulled out a clay cup which he had made, and used it to hold the water that Mimi had purified, before making a toast to his two lovely women who helped make such a delicious meal.
“To Mimi and Nari. Without you both, we would be eating nothing more than grilled jungle fowl at this moment.”
Mimi was a little depressed, despite having the cheer. She was distraught over the wild jungle fowl that Alex had killed for their meal, as well as the fact that Dal had killed and cooked the oysters and prawns that she had caught for fun. Thus, she said a silent prayer for the deceased before tasting the meal that they were made from.
“Rest in peace, chicken, oysters, and prawns… And thank you for your sacrifice!”
Alex chuckled when he saw how serious the girl was over what were essentially a bunch of water bugs. The chicken he might be able to understand. But oysters and shellfish? Alex had never met anyone who cared about the lives of such things, except for perhaps Vegans and vegetarians, who Alex considered to be only slightly more human than the animals he hunted.
However, Mimi’s attitude changed real quick, when Alex leaned next to her, and comforted her over her complicated feelings.
“Mimi, you have no idea how helpful you were today… Not only did you purify this lovely water which allows us to survive out here in the wild. But you also caught the oysters and prawns that helped provide not only a nutritional meal, but a delicious one!
You should be proud that you were able to help us to such an extent. Most of the girls who came in your place simply sat around the water and watched it purity… You actually took initiative to be helpful. That is a valuable quality, especially under our current circumstances.”
Upon hearing that, she had actually been helpful, and wasn’t simply a pretty face to look at. Mimi began to well up into tears. Shocking Alex, especially when the young woman clung to him and cried in his shirt.
“Thank you! Thank you so much! Nobody has ever told me I was helpful before! I’m so happy!”
Alex simply petted the girl’s silky pink hair while holding onto her. Meanwhile, the other girls smiled at the wholesome sight. It was only Alex who instantly noticed the subtle transformation that the innocent soul underwent in that moment. And that was because the system sent him a message.
[Mimi is overjoyed that you find her to be helpful!]
