"Umm, Boss, can you ask Expert Big Sister to bring me another set of different clothes?"
In a private changing room of a luxury clothes shop, Zack sat comfortably on the sofa, leaning back against the cushions. From behind the curtain, Subordinate Woman's voice came out, filled with doubtful voice, she was grateful for both of them but…..
"Hmm? What happened? Is the size not okay?" Zack asked in gentle tone filled with his concern.
"No, but it is.... I.... this.... you know!" Subordinate Woman poked her head out from behind the curtains, trying to speak, but the words got stuck in her throat. Her face flushed bright red as embarrassment washed over her completely.
"Let me see, at least. Come out," Zack spoke encouragingly.
Subordinate Woman hesitated at first, biting her lip nervously. But slowly, she stepped out from behind the curtain, her movements were very shy and the reason for that made Zack heart stopped for a bit.
"GAH!" Zack's eyes widened after seeing her completely out of the trail room.
Subordinate Woman was wearing a overhang crop top with full sleeves and short pants with black tights clinging to her thighs. The crop top exposed her entire soft squishy midriff only covering till her boobs which actually was not really covering it if you looked from down, plus it was showing off her smooth milky white skin that can make any man mad with lust. She embarrassingly tried to pull her top down a little to cover her naked abdomen area, but it was no use.... the fabric wouldn't budge. She also felt deeply embarrassed wearing such short pants, constantly shifting her weight from foot to foot. Personally, it was not that she didn't like what she was wearing but she was worried whether Boss will like it or not so she was constantly checking Zack reaction to see if he likes it or not.
"Boss, how do I look?" she asked meekly, playing nervously with the tip of her long, thick reddish hair.
Zack subconsciously checked her out.... his eyes tracing from her exposed midriff and the tight short pant fabric that hugged her curves.... and immediately got embarrassed, his face heating up seeing her sensual body. He quickly looked away and said, "You're looking beautiful, but if you're not comfortable wearing it outside, you can wear it at home….It suits you… COUGH COUGH"
"HUH! REALLLY!!! THANK YOU BOSS!!!" Subordinate woman suddenly beamed up in happiness, she suddenly was not that nervous from before.
But Zack suddenly stopped his smile mid-way because of a thought which suddenly strike him.
"Huh? Hey, where are you going to live?" Zack suddenly asked, turning back to face her.
Subordinate Woman woke up from her shyness. After a few seconds of processing, she spoke softly, "Rugged Woman and I were planning to live together, so I guess I'll stay with her."
"What about money? You two are broke!" Zack rubbed his forehead in concern.
"OW!" His stab wound gave a slight twinge of pain as he moved so suddenly, making him wince.
"AH! Boss, wait!" Subordinate Woman's eyes went wide with worry. She ran inside quickly and brought back Zack's soft blanket. She gently bent down in front of him and carefully rolled the blanket around his upper body, making sure his wound was properly covered and protected from the winds outside and making sure it warms up his body properly.
From Zack's perspective, as she leaned over him, her crop top rode up even higher on her body. The end of her bra became visible, and her smooth, milky white belly looked dangerously inviting. The skin was so flawless and unmarred that it can even defeat Nat in this section. Her beautiful hair rolled on her face touching her soft cheeks making her face more beautiful and magical to him who couldn't help but just stare at her.
NAT WILL KILL ME!!! STOP STARING AT HER!!!
Zack quickly put his head to the side and tried to calm down his racing heart as he muttered mantras in his mind to ward off anything that could make him astray before talking to Nat about all this.
"Here, all done! Hehe." She stood up properly beside him, smiling sweetly, completely unaware of the effect she was having on him.
After a while, Zack gathered his thoughts and said firmly, "You two come live with me. I promised your father to take care of you, so I'll make sure I do that."
Zack's sudden recommendation made Subordinate Woman freeze in place, her entire body going rigid.
"Huh?! Huh?! What, Boss?! Are you.... no, no! I can't! How can I live....?! What about Princess?! No, no!" She panicked, her hands fidgeting wildly in front of her, twisting together nervously.
Zack stood up and.... THWAK! .... he lightly hit the top of her head with his palm.
"Calm down! There are many people present in the house.... me, Big Sister Sasha, my grandpa, Miss Eva, and in the future her husband will also stay with us. So, it's a house full of people. Don't let your mind run wild!"
"AH!" Subordinate Woman felt embarrassed as she nodded quickly, her face burning. "But still.... Princess?" she asked meekly, her voice bringing in all the emotions from the meeting she had with her at 5th Rock meeting.
Siiigghhh...
Zack sighed heavily, his shoulders sagging. "I'm sorry on behalf of her. She's a good girl.... it's just that she's feeling a lot of pressure, so she exploded and did mean things to you. Don't worry, I'll talk to her. You guys have done nothing wrong. It's all my fault. I just can't leave you girls all alone after you have done so much for me….….And to be honest it was indeed my fault, I should have talked with her about you girls more properly "
He gently patted her head, his warm hand bringing her all the joy she could ask for.
Subordinate Woman didn't say anything for a moment. Then she looked up at him with vulnerable eyes and asked softly, "Can I hug you?"
She searched his eyes for permission.
"Yeah, sure," Zack said gently after hesitating for a while.
He opened his arms, and Subordinate Woman stepped forward into his embrace. She placed her head against his chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. His warmth surrounded her, his smell made her feel at peace.
"Boss, thank you for everything," she whispered, her voice thick with emotion. "If you didn't come into my life, I would have died long ago. And you even made my father realize what he was doing wrong."
She gripped his shirt tighter.
"I'm sorry, but I love you and want to help you in anything I can. If Princess didn't like my and Rugged woman existence, I could help you by staying far away from you.... just don't treat me as a useless person. Boss, I...."
"KYAA!!" Subordinate Woman suddenly yelped.
Zack had slipped his hand into her thick hair and touched her back head and her extreme top nape area, his fingers moving sensually against her sensitive skin. The unexpected touch sent shivers down her spine.
"Geez, that's why I was worried. Don't be so emotional. Learn to calm down, otherwise I won't take my hand out," Zack smirked as he grazed the back of her head again, his fingers moving gently through her hair.
"Moo! Boss!" She pouted adorably and nodded against his chest.
"Now, why don't you choose something you feel comfortable with, that you can wear outside? You don't have to force yourself into anything, buy this if you like it if not there are plenty of options. And as I told before I need your help.... I need your 100 percent out there. My mind can't keep track of everything, so become my hand and manage everything." Zack spoke while encouraging her, his voice filled with trust and confidence towards her.
"I will, Boss!" She looked up at him with determination. "And I like this dress.... just I…. Ahm…. If you are with me then I can wear it outside!!!!!"
Subordinate Woman spoke daringly, her face turning bright red as the words left her mouth.
Zack also got embarrassed, his ears turning pink. "Fine, you can wear it in the home and outside when you are with me…. For now I'll choose something normal for you! And I will also buy some things for Rugged Woman!"
He quickly ran away, escaping the charged atmosphere.
Subordinate Woman smiled sweetly, her heart fluttering. "Home," she muttered to herself, and then jumped in happiness, unable to contain her joy.

Zack came out of the changing room and saw Miss Expert Sister bringing lots of similar outfits.... crop tops, short skirts, tight pants.... all piled high in her arms.
"Ahm, Big Sister, she doesn't need these kinds of clothes. This much is not needed.... a few are fine. Let's go, I'll choose something decent for her!" Zack said quickly, waving his hands.
"Huh?! But these ARE decent! Who doesn't want to wear these?!" Big sister expert said sadly, her expression falling as she turned back with him, clearly disappointed to not be able to dress her with her choice of clothes.
After a while, Zack carefully chose an outfit that felt right to him. He called out, and Subordinate Woman poked her head out from behind the curtain again.
Both Zack and Miss Expert asked together, "How is it? Do you like it?"
"Boss, what should I do?!" Subordinate Woman spoke in anticipation, her voice trembling with excitement.
Then she suddenly came out fully.
"I LOVE IT TOO MUCH, BOSS! THIS IS THE BEST DRESS I EVER WORE! KYAAA! HEHEHE!!"
She laughed and jumped around, checking her outfit from every angle, spinning in circles with pure joy.
The outfit was simple and to be honest quite normal.... a big, baggy, heavy sweater with some beautiful patches of green and red that matched her hair perfectly. Underneath, she wore a tight black turtleneck inner layer that could only be seen on her neck. Below, she wore a heavy, long skirt that swished slightly as she spun. Her beautiful, thick red hair reached down to her belly as she smiled sweetly, her face glowing with happiness.
"Geez, this is just a normal outfit," Zack spoke while shaking his head, amused by seeing her happy expression.
"But Boss, this is so warm and cozy.... just like you! Hehe." Subordinate Woman just kept moving around, spinning and twirling, not even realizing what she'd just said.
Zack felt warmth bloom in his chest at her words. He just sighed contentedly and bought her some more outfits in different styles based on her preferences, then they headed back together.

"Laoise!! Geez, I couldn't see you for so long! Don't be like your husband.... at least come to me from time to time!" Queen Mother hugged Miss Sverrison tightly as she came inside, pulling her close with friendly affection.
"Sorry, Malina. Because my stupid husband can't make up his mind, I had to be cautious about not causing trouble for him. But don't worry.... my support is always with you," Miss Sverrison hugged her back warmly, squeezing her body tight.
"That's not how it works," Leader Vali spoke from behind in his normal, serious tone, his arms crossed over his chest.
"Anyways, thank you for bringing the food! Everyone is clearly liking it. We were busy with sudden plans, and my people are making food for the guests, so no one ate anything here. You saved us, Laoise!" Queen Mother spoke happily, her eyes sparkling with gratitude.
TWITCH. TWITCH.
Leader Vali's eye twitched in irritation.
"Ahm, I will decide after seeing what this kid, the so called Master Zack, brings to the table!" Leader Vali spoke again in his serious tone, trying to maintain his authority.
"Malina, how is Jorri? Let's go and let me see him!! I couldn't come to check on him. I'm sorry." Miss Sverrison just walked ahead with Queen Mother, their arms linked together, leaving a lonely big fella standing at the room door.
"Leader, please move. Don't stand in the middle," someone said as they tried to pass.
"Oh, sorry!" Leader Vali moved aside.
Huh? Who am I?
Leader Vali all confused blankly stood in one corner as his house maids and butlers rushed past him, serving more food to others, carrying trays piled high with dishes.
Leader stood silently on the side, sighing continuously, feeling utterly ignored and irrelevant.

"What happened, Silja? Why the long face?" Mother Ariana asked worriedly, her hand reaching out to touch Silja's shoulder.
"What else? Someone recognized her from her husband's batch and told his heroic tales of saving many people all alone in the wilderness. She got emotional hearing it and cried a lot." Leader Mikaela sighed. "It was my first time babysitting such a big woman."
Leader Mikaela spoke up again while gulping down lots of food, barely pausing between bites. "Oye, Silja, your husband was such a legend! How come his wife is so weak? I'll have to train you and your son to be like your husband!"
"Mikaela, don't be rude! She suffered a lot, so it's a normal reaction. And eat properly.... we all know your prim and proper image outside is just a façade! You're just a brat!" Miss Eva scolded her manners sharply.
"TSK! Fine, fine!" Mikaela rolled her eyes. "And Silja, we're sorry for not being able to bring your husband's remains. It was a messy accident.... many warriors were killed back then. But somehow, slowly, things calmed down in the future because I heard someone is playing around outside by controlling some animals!"
Mikaela looked pointedly at Sasha, who proudly stood up and smiled widely.
"Of course, my brother is the best! You've only seen a tip of what he's capable of. Only I know how much he's done to secure the perimeter," Sasha spoke proudly, her chest puffed out.
"You can join my 'Meeting with Animals' tour starting tomorrow! The seats are getting filled fast. I can give you a discount if you want!" Oliver suddenly appeared and handed Leader Mikaela his business card with a flourish.
TWITCH. TWITCH.
Her eyes twitched as she glared at him dangerously, but she still kept the card, tucking it away.

"NOM. NOM. NOM! This food is great!" Gloomy stuffed his face with food, his cheeks bulging.
"Gloomy, don't become Big Guy! Eat slowly!" Sio roared from the side, shaking her head.
"I was having so much fun out there. Why am I here? I don't want to move." A tired voice rang out from the side.
Little Princess lay on the sofa completely sprawled out with her arms dangling off the edge.
"Me too. I want to go out and play." A young man lay just like her beside her, his back against the sofa, staring at the ceiling. "You said your big brother can move freely outside the border? Please tell him to take me out! I'm bored in this city. I've checked every part of this city, and it's all boring!"
"What happened to them?" Chieftess Anihoa and Maid Nima asked together, looking at the two lifeless figures with confusion.
Alfie just shrugged his shoulders, not bothering to explain.
"It's good to be young. Sigh." Miss Phoebe said sadly while eating a huge chunk of sweet dessert, savoring every bite.
"You'll die if you eat that much, brat!" Grandmother spoke sharply while eating a strong, big, meaty leg piece, tearing into it with gusto.
TWITCH. TWITCH.
"Grandmother, are your teeth okay?" everyone asked curiously, genuinely concerned.
"OF COURSE THEY ARE! ARE YOU LOOKING DOWN ON THIS OLD WOMAN OR WHAT?! I COULD BITE ALL OF YOU TO DEATH IF I WANT!" Grandmother roared, spilling the greasy stuff everywhere as she waved the leg piece around.
"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed and enjoyed the food together, the room filled with warmth, noise, and the comforting chaos of family.
