I dropped off the girls on the rock I had been sitting on before to cook the meat. It wasn't cold, but the girls had been shivering, so I figured this would be the best spot for her while I cut more meat up.
"Are we going to cook her alive, Or do you want me to kill her?" Jilly asked me as two large twenty-centimeter golden curved blades shot out from under her hair.
Bera and Cera were both burying their faces in my chest as they grabbed at me in fear, and I couldn't really blame them. Only Riez had the balls to look Jilly in the eyes and her face blades.
"Stop it! I am taking care of her, and you will go find something to do while I get this meat ready, or I'll…." I trailed off as I looked up at the sword face. "Just leave the girls alone. They have already been through enough, and I am going to get more meat to cook. Please go find some more…."
[Monster Girl: Riez, Bera, and Cera] Is now in your care!
[New Title]: Monster Nanny
I looked at Riez's naturally green eyes because what other color would they be? They were pretty, but that wasn't what was important right now."Yes, I will make it taste much better, you can ask Mary her as she drools in excite...OwO!" I had been saying but then bit me harder this time, hitting a nerve and making my knees buckle."Sof merkin fun ov meh!" Mary said with my neck still in her mouth.I was barely able to stay on my feet, and I didn't dare try to pull her off. Mary was all but breaking skin right now, but if I moved, that might change.I suppose I really needed to start treating these women like ladies and not my pets. I deserved to get a bite for saying that after she had been so cute with me.I relaxed my neck, and Mary slowly let go, and I was able to stand back up straight. The other four had stayed perfectly quiet the entire time."Sorry, I know I said that I wouldn't do it again, and I do. So, I deserved that. I will start
I did get two of my Troll steaks after all the little snakes seemed full, and it was nice just to have a moment to relax. Mary was licking her fingers, and she had let me slide my arm around her waist.I was petting her snakes when Mary asked me something that surprised me."Whysss did you comesss here?" Mary hissed softly as I watched her stone-covered eyes close with content from my strokes."I didn't plan on coming here, but I had made some mistakes in my life, and I tried to cheat my way to the top. I thought that I could just take the easy way and no one would care, but I was wrong. I ended up losing everything and embarrassing myself, so I had decided to join a group of individuals that valued hard work and determination," I said, thinking about what I had been about to do.There was a lot of merit in joining the army, but I don't think it was for the right reason. What I had wanted was something that I could do to prove to myself that I was more th
I followed Jilly south, but I walked beside her so I could talk to her about the world. Now that things with the girls seemed to like it was straightening themselves out, I really needed to get on top of learning about the world."So, are there any other humans like me?" I asked."No, there are some that look close to you, but they are some of the worst monsters.All they do is latch onto you and drain your thoughts until you're left to drool and starve to death. I can't remember what they are called, but they have eyes in their hands and much sharper teeth, but that is about as close as it comes to looking like you," Jilly explained to me, but I was noticing that the canyon was starting to arch up."Hmm, that's fine, not like it would make a difference. As you can see with me, humans are just monsters without visible natural weapons," I said as we started to get higher, and I was able to start seeing treetops, which reminded me of the wood that had just be
It took us about an hour of walking to get to the giant castle surrounded by a ten-meter wall with guards standing on the tops. None of them looked like they were paying much attention to us as we approached a large river.A big bridge spanned across the water, and there was a pair of blue-skinned and winged guards standing at the entrance on the other side. I stopped our group before we went across the bridge; I wanted to ask a couple more questions that had just come to mind."Can you tell me a little about the demons, like do they have ranks? Are those guys like the one that came to see you?" I asked."Yes, they are the same, all lesser grunts, but they can still fight and use magic, so don't go thinking of trying to take the Keep. If we are nice, then Mex should be nice enough back to us. The biggest thing is to not let the grandmother get under your skin," Jilly explained, and I felt Mary stir on my back, and her snakes started to rustle around."Hmm
I found it strange that no one really seemed to care that a human and three monsters were waltzing right into the place. I looked around the castle grounds, but it was mostly grass, and there were even some flower beds being cared for by blue-skinned females who were wearing modest clothing.Not what I had expected from a self-proclaimed Demon Lord, but maybe I was holding on to my human world views of things that didn't really even exist. I am sure that if the monsters saw our people in our world, they would ask why we all look so much alike.The front door to the castle was unmanned, but It took all I had to even get the thing to budge. Of course, that was when Jilly decided that I might need help, and the door was opened with ease.This was just another reminder that even though I was in great shape and that I was an MMA fighter, The problem was that I had come from wrestling, and I had been a submission specialist.Sure, I had knocked a guy or two out
"I am not sure if you have been told, but the world runs on strange stuff called MP or Monster Points. You can earn them from killing monsters that have marks be a quest given by myself or someone else, but you can also gain them from exploring new places and even developing new areas," Mex explained."Developing? So you mean if I made a city or a town? Or maybe if I took one over and made it better?" I asked with interest."Yes, that is how we Demons do it, but you would have to collect a large number of monsters to make a city and prevent them from eating each other. For us demons, it's different; we don't eat our own kind that often. You don't have to build something so big as a town, but if you even created a business that helped monsters, you could earn points," Mex explained to me.That was some helpful information, but I wasn't sure if I could make a business out of taking care of monster girls. Still, other things could be done, but I wasn't sure if that
Mex pointed to the left corner of the second level when we reached the top of the stairs."Down there is Nushi's room, but I am going to retire for a bit, and I will see you when you return. Don't worry about bringing back proof or anything like that; you can just show me your MP total when you get back, and I will show you how to do that as well," Mex said with a smile and then turned to the right, and head to the room in the opposite corner of his daughters."Thanks," I said before turning to go to the next room, but I took my time.I was partially worried that the girls would just forget me, but another part of me told me I was an idiot for thinking something like that. I reached the door faster than I wanted, but there was no waiting around; I still had to run to the village and deal with the Sahuagin before it got dark and got back.I knocked at the door, and I heard Jilly call to come in, so I lifted the latch and entered. The room was all books, th
I turned back to Nushi after the other two settled down."Don't listen to Jilly; I just want to help you. The way that your horns grow must make life hard for you," I said to Nushi.She was looking at her hands that were fidgeting in her lap. Nushi looked like she was deciding on something, so I grabbed my Loose Leaf Dagger and held it out from me.I glared at the blade because I knew it was going to try and make some kind of protest when I asked it to cut her horns off if she would let me. I didn't want to have to fight with the blade in front of the girl I was offering to cut part of her head off.I didn't feel any resistance from the knife as I held it in my hands. Last time the knife had felt hostile when I had tried to cut the branch, but I knew that wasn't a job for a sharp knife.Maybe the blade worked on intuition or something like that. I knew that I should be using a tool like that for that job.This time it was different. This job
