Chapter 33: Dawn of Summer
The Supply cut is troublesome, not only does it mean that Russia took a hit. But also lets it's enemies know that she is vulnerable. Something you, can't accept.
Walking back home, you notice a small shop, similar to Vadim's. You approach it with a rather sudden curiosity.
"Hello, Chief! What can I do for you?" the woman asks you.
"Good Afternoon Miss, what are you selling?" you ask the woman in a pitched voice.
She immediately points at all the Wares in front of you, unbelievable.
New clothes, still in there packaging. You have to get the Foxes here right now.
"Miss do you have any Clothes for Foxes?" I ask her nicely.
"All of the wares here are for Human Female but can easily be adapted for Foxes if you like." she presents her services, your heart jumps in excitement.
Before you rush off to get your Foxes, you tell her to reserve a bunch of clothes for your Family. you start running as fast as your legs could.
Knocking at the Door, Kally opens it.
"Get your Daughter's and everyone else, I have a surprise!" you tell her gasping for air.
Kally looks confused at me before she understands my situation, she hurries to notify your Girlfriends.
"Owner, you got a surprise for us?" Katie asks, wagging her tail slowly.
She is quickly joined by her sister, you're ready to go.
"Go get Katya and her Daughter's, we need to go come on!" you say excitedly, pulling your Girlfriends hands.
They look at you nervously, you weren't this excited since you got your current Armour set.
Having heard the commotion, Katya and her Daughters appear as well.
"I hope you're all ready, let's go!" you excitedly tell them.
Everyone forms a tight group around you as you lock the door. You can't wait to show them the clothe's Shop you found.
Taking a stroll around town, you notice Katya and her Daughters are more nervous then you've ever seen them before.
"Katya, are okay?" you ask her, knowing something is wrong.
"Y-Yes, we are f-fine." she stutters to say, you assume it's the stress finally taking its toll on them.
A few minutes pass and we've arrived at the Store.
"Oh, I didn't think I would have to reserve that much." the Shopkeeper replies noticing the large family you have, except Katya's.
"Do apologize, I'll pay nicely." you tell her.
The Shopkeeper tells the Girls to look around and pick something out.
Watching as the Girls chat about Clothes with the Shopkeeper, taking a good look at the style and materials of their clothes of choice.
"Master Dan, these clothes are a little bit pricy, shouldn't you save money?" Kally confesses anxiously.
"Don't worry about the prices, just pick something out. We got enough money." you reassure her.
In the end, the choice of attire is quite captivating, that it got me interested as well.
Browsing through the clothes, you find a Grey Hoodie, with nothing written on it. A perfect choice for someone like yourself.
Having picked a Hoodie in a different colour, other than black, you now search for a matching pair of Pants.
The Shopkeeper notices your troubled search, she walks over.
"I had a matching pair of Pants... where did they go?" she mumbles, crouching down to search in the Boxes underneath the Table.
"Ah! These are the matching ones, here you go Chief." she says nicely, handing you an actual matching pair of Pants, with a decent amount of Pockets.
"Thank you kindly Miss!" you express your gratitude.
Now that everyone has picked something out, yourself included. You ask for a total.
"That would be... 80 thousand Roubles." she answers, seemingly having gone through the same calculations a couple of times.
A reasonable price for your Ears, even your Wallet seems to agree.
"Here you go Miss, thank you kindly for the clothes." you thank her happily.
"Thank you for your patronage!" she adds, waving you off.
Together with the Girls, you walk home, judging from their Expressions and continuous chatter about fashion, which you don't understand, for now at least.
As you all enter the House, everyone sits down to take another look at their clothes, you hear a growl.
Mila looks troubled, you wonder what's wrong.
"Hey, Mila~, what's wrong?" you aks the little Fox.
"Master Dan, I am sorry but I am hungry again~." Mila answers, sitting in her Mother's Lap.
"Master Dan, Fox Children require more food than usual during the dawn of Summer," Kally adds, her words are of high interest to you.
If the Summer is around the corner, that means that you need to get that supply line up and running soon. Otherwise, the supply of food and Water for Summer Operations including Equipment will almost be impossible.
Because of the large number of people and the increasing amount of Children in Town, as far as you've seen, the Town requires a higher amount of Necessities.
Besides, the Town requires a new Energy source, unlimited and permanent. Something you will have to tackle with Sergey, Dima and Boris later, preferably Tomorrow.
Looking at the Time, it is almost evening.
"Wow time flies fast you go shopping..." you mumble to yourself, amazed at the passing of time.
"Owner~, we should start dinner. I didn't think it would take us this long to go shopping and return." Katie adds, pulling your sleeve.
"Sure Darling~, good idea." you tell Katie, holding her hand.
For now, all you can think of is revenge. Something that previously was unimportant and dismissable to you, until it became clear through past events and the current situation that you can not ignore this anymore.
Looking over to Katya, she doesn't have a Room in the House, nor do you have another Guest Room. You remember the existence of an inflatable Mattress, you will go grab it. Not for Katya and her Daughters but for yourself.
Your Girlfriends prepare dinner rather quickly today. A possible answer to that would be the quick passing of time.
Everyone sits down at the Table, you decide to take a wait. You sit on the couch and wait, starring into the table in front of you. The Girlfriends notice, they decide to join you.
"Hey Master~ why the long face, don't worry. We'll feed you, just like we did before~!" Kate says excitedly. Having no other choice you agree to their choice.
"Say, ah~!" Katie playfully says, making the spoon look like an Airplane.
"I'll have to lie to these two tonight, sneak out... and finish what they started." you think to yourself.
"Milord, that will be possible. I sense a large amount of exhaustion from your Girlfriends." the Daemon relays.
"That's good, all we need to do is, get outside the Walls somehow." you add to your Spirits words.
After sharing a meal with the Foxes, Kally goes to her room. You hope she likes it but also hopes that her Daughters can sleep in there. There is not much if it comes to decorations, but a Window is present, boarded up of course.
You quickly blow the inflatable mattress up with a hand-driven Air Pump. This one is for the Foxes, so they decided, while the Bed upstairs is for Katya and her Daughters to sleep in. Until the situation settles down.
Slowly the house falls silent, you'll have to await the moment to take action. Until everyone else is tightly asleep, you'll read up on the digital version of the monthly, Firearms and Personal Protection Magazine, on your device.
