"Look, since neither one of us can do it, then what If I try to find you a male of your own species or at least something close? I don't know how successful I will be, but I will try, and that is the best that I can do," I said, and Veronica's expression brightened a bit.
"Really, you would do something like this for me?" Veronica asked me hopefully, and I nodded my head.
Now, time to get what I want, as horrible as that might sound, which was a trade of services.
"Okay, so I will do this thing for you, but I need help, and it will probably make your lives easier. How can I get Jessabell from here? I need to take her back to Mex's Keep, but I can't just scoop her up and run off with her, right?" I asked, and Veronica lifted an eyebrow at me.
"Why not? The Master must have told you about her. Jessabell is Omniphobic, and a Hypochondriac, so you will need to either knock her out or cover her up completely. That will be the only way that you will get her out
"So, how do I go about catching her?" I asked the two Sphinx's, now that we were on better terms."You have to be quiet and sneak up on her and then put the blanket over her head," Candice explained, but Veronica shook her head."No, that won't work now. You know how Jess gets once she is scared, and there will be no way for us to sneak up on her. Climb onto my back, and then move up, so you are tight to my neck. You will have to put the blanket over your head and then bury yourself in my mane," Veronica explained to me as she lowered herself down to me."Are you sure," I asked as I walked up to Veronica, holding the strange patchwork blanket I had been given."Yes, she already said she was ready to let you inside of her, so why would she care if you rode on her?" Candice said as she walked by me and then bumped me with her back end into her sister.Yes, well, that was true, and she was bonded to me, but I still wasn't sure what that meant. I climb
The sounds that Jessabell was making had stopped, and when she spoke again, I was very close to where she was. So close that I need to restrain myself from trying to peek out of the blanket that was covering me."The Master did say that when he found me, but even he is scary! I heard how he makes you cry out when he visits! I don't want to cry like that!" Jessabell cried, and now I could tell that Veronica must be almost right beside her."What the Master does to me doesn't hurt me that much, and I ask him to do it to me. I think if you tried it with someone, you might feel less trepidation about it," Candice said, and that was my cue.I sat up and pulled the blanket off me and was hit with a wave of excitement, nervousness, and adrenaline, all at the same time. It was like sitting at a desk with a blindfold on and then taking it off to find that I was on a rollercoaster that was just about to hit the shit and do a twenty-meter drop.I turned to a horror-
"No, Mex mixed my words up; I have enough things to worry about right now. Let's get back quick; I still have a bunch of stuff to do," I said to the girls, and Veronica started moving without saying anything.I was going to have to figure out something for this, but Veronica also didn't need to get sensitive about this kind of thing. I was just a man helping women, not one that was tied to them… well, maybe I was a little bit."I am sure that Clesh will find her way into your bed if the Master assumes she is. Most demon women don't like demon men because they go… demons on them, and that is fine with me, but you can see how a smaller creature might not enjoy it," Candice said as we started to walk.That was fair, and after seeing how big Mex had gotten before, I was able to understand. I guess that I wouldn't mind if Clesh or the other women snuck into my bed, but I didn't have time for women fighting over stupid things like that.I continue
I looked over at Veronica as I walked around, where she was still bent down at my height. Now that I was up close to Veronica's face, I could see just how much bigger she was than me."Thank you for all your help, girls, and especially you, Veronica. Thank you for giving me a ride," I said, and I walked up to Veronica's face and then kissed her cheek that was even larger than Jilly's.I could feel the heat start to radiate off Veronica's face as she crawled back from me, and that stood back up in shock. I watched her lift one of her paws up to touch the place that I had kissed, and I turned around to head into the Keep."Find some shade so you can both keep cool. I will send someone out to bring you water and food," I said as I awkwardly opened the door and slipped into the Keep.The door closed behind me, and I sighed and then started walking up the Astroturf stairs. Jessabell was awake, but she was shaking and staying quiet as I carried her to Nixi's ro
I turned around and then ran back down the stairs and outside, turning to the left and heading to my place sprinting, but stopped when I saw a strange-looking woman holding a vicious-looking sword."Hey! Yes, you! There isn't anyone else out here!" The woman said to me with a growl.She was short and had teal skin but darker than Mary's, and she had what I would consider being Egyptian features. The sword she was carrying was a scimitar, but the blade was jagged like a saw."What would you like? Keita? Is that your name? You're the Mad scientist with all the failed creations, right?" I asked, and then she threw the swords at me.Instantly, without warning, my Totem Mark started to glow, and time slowed, and I watched the jagged scimitar fly at me. It was very elegantly crafted for all of the Jigsaw vibes it was throwing off, but I really hoped that Jilly wasn't mad and me for taking so long.The blade still hadn't reached me yet, and I was starting
I shook my head and then walked past him without saying a word; I didn't have time for this right now."At least think about it!" Mex called as I walked into the house and found the girls waiting for me.Jilly looked tense, but the rest of the girls were relaxing on the couches. Mary was curled up with Nushi on one side of her, and the Cerberus girls were on the other side of her.I went straight over to Jilly and smiled up at her."I just need to go talk to Lidy about cooking for her after. Do you want to meet me in the bathroom?" I asked Jilly, and she looked away from me."Yes, but I wasn't waiting or anything like that, or upset, or anything like that," Jilly said, repeating herself as she turned and also walked into a table.I smiled as she made her way outside; I was reliving to see her act cute and a bit nervous, but I wouldn't tell her that. At least not when there were other people around to hear, or she would get embarrassed and up
I turned back and headed to the bathroom where Jilly was waiting and went inside to find Jilly naked and already in the water. I smiled and walked over to where the towels and soap were and grabbed a pail that was beside the stand."Took you long enough; you sure like to keep a girl waiting," Jilly said, and then sunk down into the water and started to move around in the water to get her body wet."Sorry, I had to talk to some people, but I am here now, and it is time to get you clean," I said as I waded into the water with my bucket that had my soap and rags in it."It's fine. I know that you are doing things right now, and that is a lot of work. I am almost always surprised with how willing you are to help everyone," Jilly said as I started to scrub her red shell."I am not saying that it is my job, but it is the task that I have set myself on, and I hate to see people in trouble. I am also trying to make up for my previous life where all I did was chea
"Eighteen hundred points?! And the missions start at ten points?! How many points do you have?" I asked in exasperation."None," Jilly said, still not looking at me, and I threw my hands in the air."What do you mean none?! How am I supposed to collect that much MP?!" I will have to do missions for a month straight!" I complained, and Jilly sighed and turned to me."I am sorry, I really didn't care about anything at that point and was willing to go be Doa cleaning slave, but then I met you and chased you. Now we are here, and you are cleaning me, so I am sorry," Jilly said, and I relaxed and let out my own sigh.This was not what I had expected, or really what I needed on my plate right now, but I cared a lot about Jilly, so I would make it work. She was the first girl that I met when I got here, and even though she had tried to eat me, she had become an indispensable part of my team."Okay, can you roll over and start explaining how the ranks and
