Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

Before leaving, I went through a couple of the boxes until I found something to put on. The shorts I found were red and had some bloodstains, but it gave them a textured look, and I really didn't care what they looked like.

I left the storage area and backed out into the central tent area, but the place was deserted. I looked around, and I didn't see Beeno at first, so I closed my eyes.

I immediately felt her and opened my eyes to look in the direction that I had sensed her. The raised hexagonal dais that was surrounded by stairs blocked my view, so I walked forward.

I looked around as I did, the place looked much different and empty, but most of the arenas did. Without the people and the energy that came with them, the place was just a tent.

Beeno was squatted at the end of the stairs, and she was using one of her long fingers to draw in the dirt. As I got closer, I was surprised at what I saw in the dirt. .

She drew a picture of me fighting with one of the dragons when I threw Mex's sword. I really hoped that Mex got his weapon back, or I would feel pretty back about losing it.

"That is really amazing! I find it hard to believe that you were able to make such a detailed picture only using your hands!" I said as I walked over to Beeno.

As soon as I spoke, Beeno used her hand to brush away the drawing, and she stood up too quickly and jumped almost five feet into the air. It might not have been so bad, but she had jumped backward, and she was going to land on the stairs.

I rushed over and caught her out of the air, and Beeno struggled in what might be considered a non-effectual way, but she was strong! I received more than one accidental strike to the face, but Beeno settled down fairly quickly.

"I am really sorry! I didn't mean to hit you! I just was scared, surprised, and… my drawings are just stupid," Beeno cried out in an apologetic voice, but then her voice shank.

Beeno looked away, and I decided to leave it for now, but I would be bringing it up again. I turned with Beeno still in my arms and headed to the west entrance and out into Crater City.

The city was a ghost town, not a soul in sight, but the silence was actually lovely. I turned south, and I was about to dash forward, but instead stopped and looked down at Beeno.

"Did you see when I turned into fire before? I am going to do that again, so where can I get to the place I want to go to faster if that's okay? I mean, I can run there, but this will be a lot faster," I explained to Beeno, and she gave a slight shrug.

"I will be fine; I am not scared of heights, but where are we going?" Beeno asked curiously.

"I think I might have found the home of some creatures called Gnoll. They have been a pest, but they have also survived numerous attempts by the Demons to eradicate them. That alone has me interested, but I hope you don't mind," I told Beeno, and she shook her head.

"No, this is perfectly fine. I know you talked to Hydie about me, so I know you are just trying to make me feel better. Still, I like it and am happy, and I want to tell you to put me down, but… I also don't want you to… does that make sense? I also want to hide my face because you saw me do that thing," Beeno said and then did hide her face.

This cute little red demon was far better the way she was now rather than the way she had been the first time I had met her. I still could see the angry proud face that was going to teach me a lesson.

I smiled inwardly at my cuddly little kitten and the dramatic change that occurred after a directed blast from my Orgasmoura. Now, she seemed to be confused by her emotions, but I found it strange that I wanted to call her kitten.

I hadn't really thought about it until now, but she really wasn't anything like a cat and her curling horns that pointed to the back of her head. Beeno had black hair, but it was very short, thin, and soft, no more than a quarter-inch long.

Still, for some reason, my brain kept wanting to refer to her. I wonder what it could mean?

[Possible that this Nafa body was not her first life, and she might be a born Demon.]

That could be it, but I was using the Fire Force Pact while I was going over this. It slowly pulled in energy from my surroundings, but it wasn't the same.

*Fireden: There is nowhere near as much energy on Hydrous, so it will feel prolonged, but look at the gauge thing in your charts.*

Oh, that was fucking weird. A rectangular chat bubble popped up with Fireden's name in it and his message, just like a chat bubble… interesting.

[What do you think? I should be able to get all the elements around a table with this chat thing.]

'Honestly, great! The familiarness reminds me of an actual chat, but we will have to see what it's like with a full table. ERTCG, Elemental Round Table Chat Group!'

*Wataluga: Better than a kick in the head with a frozen boot, I guess, but why does it have to be a round table?*

There was stirring in my arms, and I realized that I had been standing in the same spot still and without talking for about ten minutes.

"Sorry, we will get going right now; I was just talking with the Elementals that are inside of me," I explained, and Beeno looked up at me with a single eye.

"I'm fine; I was just adjusting my legs. I don't mind," Beeno said with her mouth half pressed into my chest and then tucked her face back down to hide her eyes.
