Asguiaro huffed, his feet striking the sand of Hueco Mundo at a rhythmic pace. His body was soaked from head to feet from his sweat as he carried a 20 ton rock.

“Come on little red. We should have reached our destination hours ago.” Cirucci teased him, smirking as she stepped lightly over the sand. “I can’t believe it took you two hours to perfect your footwork enough to not dirty my dress with sand.” She only cared a little about that, but that was not her point.

The red haired arrancar frowned, his neck straining from the weight with visible veins. “Shut up, woman. Can't you see when a man is training?” He actually didn’t stop, continuing his footwork.

Then, he glared at Cirucci, who seemed to be enjoying the situation a bit too much.

Cirucci chuckled. “Well, excuse us for expecting you to keep up, little red.” She teased, not bothering to hide the smirk on her face.

I intervened, trying to lighten the mood. “That's enough, you two. Let's focus on the task at hand.” I pointed to the small mark on the sand. “And Asguiaro, she's right. You did drag your foot.””

“We'll have to torment you later,” Cirucci laughed while looking at the one-eyed Arrancar drop the 20-ton rock. His face relaxed without the weight pressing on it.

“Come, let’s enter.” I declared as I entered what appeared to be a cave entrance.

As we made our way inside, I reflected on the success of my idea. I had always admired hardworking characters like Rock Lee from Naruto or Roronoa Zoro from One piece. So I decided to create my own hard working subordinate. The idea came to me while we worked on our footwork, and I decided to make Asguiaro carry the rock with him during our travel through Hueco Mundo while he tried to keep his footwork from dragging sand.

It was actually a success. Asguiaro was proving to have a drive to become stronger and overcome his limits. I could only hope that he would use that drive for my benefit.

Reaching the end of the tunnel, we were met with a large stone door.

Just as I was about to reach for the handle, the door suddenly swung open with a loud thud, and a green missile launched itself at my stomach. It was only through my quick reflexes that I was able to receive the small girl in my arms before I was hit.

“You're late! You promised to come earlier.” Nel shouted, waving her arms frantically. “You're such a liar.”

I chuckled. “Sorry, Nel. We got caught up in some training.” I said while cleaning nel’s spit from my check with a handkerchief. “But we're here now.”

“You don't need to explain yourself to her, boss,” Cirucci said, crossing her arms under her chest as she shot a dark look at Nel. “She should be grateful that people superior to her even came to visit.”

“Acidy, why did you bring the witch with you again? You're such a cheater.” Nel accused, pointing an accusing finger at my chest.

Cirucci laughed out loud. “You wish our Lord would pay attention to a childish little girl like you.”

I stayed silent at that, I have never been good at coaxing children throwing a tantrum. I could only smile helplessly.

Fortunately, my other subordinate came to my rescue.

“Enough, you two. You can fight for the mistress position later.” He declared with a straight face, not feeling the shame I was feeling. “Our Lord has come to speak with you about something important. He doesn't have time to entertain you.”

Cirucci scoffed at Asguiero's comment. "Please, I wouldn't waste my time fighting for a position with that sorry excuse for an arrancar." She retorted with a smirk. "Besides, I'm sure our Lord has better things to do than entertain anyone here. But don't worry, I'll make sure to give you extra training for your lack of wit."

“I’m the real wife here.” Muttered Nel, but everyone ignored it.

I nodded in agreement with Cirucci. “Yes. But, he's right about the latter. We're here to talk about a matter that concerns us all. Where are Pesche and Dondochakka? We need to speak with them as well.”

Nel's eyes widened in surprise. “They are inside.” She responded, keeping her pout. While Cirucci smacked Asguiaro, who glared at her, which I feigned not to see.

“About time,” Cirucci said with a smirk. “Let's not waste any more time, shall we?”

“Great,” I said with a grin. “Now, can you take us to them?”

Nel's expression softened and she nodded, leading us further into the cave. I focused on following Nel and preparing myself for giving another annoying explanation.

Aonte I didn't like Asguiaro's dialogue so I asked help from Chatgpt:
Author: Is there a good replacement for bedwarmer in this sentence:""
Chatgpt: As an Ai, I'm against demeaning women, it is insulting.
Author: But, that is the purpose of this dialogue, to show his character.

Chatgpt: As an Ai, I'm against demeaning women, it is insulting.
Author: Fuck, the cat just gave birth so it's ignoring me.

Omake: Weird stalker

A fat man with a suspicious look in his eyes stood on a roof, watching a cheery orange-haired girl walking out of a high school.

Suddenly, a strong woman's voice interrupted his thoughts. "Hey, pervert. You should stop stalking girls."

Startled, the latin man stumbled backward and fell off the roof with a thud. He groaned in pain as he hit the ground and fainted.

The black haired woman, who was a short-tempered owner of a Shop, walked up to him and checked if he was alright.

"Man, he sure dropped hard," Ikumi muttered under her breath. She looked around, hoping for someone to help her deal with the situation. "I guess I can take him to the hospital in my van."

She heaved the unconscious man over her shoulder and carried him to her van, muttering to herself. "Great, just what I needed, another person to babysit."

She sighed. “Seriously, what has happened to our society these days”
