"I sssmell bloodsss! There mussst be meatsss" Mary and her snakes hissed, and one of the snakes tongues went in my ear, making my eyes go funny as I had a minor body spasm.
"BAH! Mary! Stop letting your snakes hiss in my ears!" I said to her as I caught my balance.
"Sssorry, I isss ssstill hungry. Feed me pleasesss!" Mary hissed excitedly, and I wiped the drool from her cute mouth, making her smile.
I turned back to the three-headed dog and wiped Mary's spit on my pants. The dog looked in rough shape and would need to be cleaned up, and some of those wounds may be sewn up.
"So, are we going to eat it, or are you just going to stare at it?" Jilly asked as she leaned down to me.
"Can you go put more wood on the fire, and I will cut up some more of the troll when I am done here, okay?" I asked, and Jilly threw up her hands but then clicked off to tend to the fire, mumbling as she went.
"Stupid man, thinks I am his slave, just wait until he is sleeping…." I heard her say, but her voice trailed off before I could hear the rest.
I thought this system prevented the girls from trying to eat me?
<It does.>
Oh.
<Lucky bastard.>
You say that, but neither of us knows what she actually meant. So, you might still be the unlucky bastard, but I'll be unluckier.
<Touche.>
I pulled out my Fire Sword and hacked a path into the black thorn bramble vines Jilly's attack had created. This was the worst way to approach a frightened and scared animal by cornering them, but I didn't have many choices.
The three-headed dogs' mouths started to glow their respective colors, but I put my hands out to them.
"Listen, there was a big misunderstanding with my friend, Jilly, and I am sorry. I don't want to hurt you; I want to help you," I said softly with my hands forward and palms up.
I went slow, but they still backed up to the wall, so I slowed down and stopped altogether. I waited for the three heads to come forward, and they each sniffed my hand and then each licked one of my hands once.
*Poof!*
I had been moving closer to the dog, but it had suddenly exploded in the same kind of white smoke as the items that Mary had given me had produced. I went down on my hands and knees and crawled forward, but the smoke dissipated, and I was staring into…
One, two, and yes, that is a third breast in my vision. Holly Hanna and they were chocolate milk-colored, tri-breasta perfection, but then there were the cuts and scrapes that cover the rest of the beautiful ebony angel.
"Will you really help us, or is it to just use us for sex like our own people did?" A beautiful redhead asked me as I brought my vision up to the proper height and eye level, sitting up.
"I don't want to become a toy again," The girl with blue hair cried out in sorrow, large tears starting to fill up her eyes.
"I don't think that's what he wants, but then I'm pretty sure that's what all men want," The one with green hair said, and she seemed to be the calmest of the three, so I focused on her.
"Yes, I am a man, and yes, you are all beautiful, but I am not a wild animal that will force myself on you. For now, I just want to help clean up your wounds, and then we will get you something to eat," I explained with a gentle tone, but the mention of food made the girl's stomach growl.
They put hands over their stomach and looked away in embarrassment at the sound it had made, and that made me smile but hurt a bit too. These three must have had a tough life, maybe more than challenging, but I couldn't change what was only what will be.
"Mary, can I have something to clean these girls up with?" I asked Mary, but faster than I could follow, she was on the girls.
At first, I was worried she would try and eat them, but instead, she just started to lick them. Blue and Red had squealed, but Green was a different fish than the other two.
Green had her eyes closed and softly moaned, and soon the other two calmed down. I watched as the places where Mary licked were healing slowly, but only slowing in the sense of not healing like Wolverine.
{Mary} Level 4! Achieved! New Skill [???]-???
Hey! What is with all these question marks? How am I supposed to know what they are?
<They are lock by her other Race, and until you figure it out, some of her skills with show up like that until you do.>
I watched in awe as Mary basically completely healed the girls, but now I could see how starved her body really was. I shook my head in sadness and stood up, offering the girls my hand and pulling Mary off them.
She had started to lick her way up Blue's neck, where there were no injuries. The girls took my hand, but when they got up, I could see that it hurt them all to put pressure on their left leg.
I stepped forward and gently picked up the girls into my arms and off their feet. They wrapped their arms around my neck, and Green pushed her face into my chest, and the other two rested their heads over as well.
"What are your names?" I asked as I started to walk over to the fire to see Jilly grumpily attending.
"Riez," the green-haired girl said on the left, and the one closest to me.
"Cera," The redhead on the far right said.
"Bera," The blue-haired girl in the center said.
"Interesting," I said as I walked, feeling like I was missing something.
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
