Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

Nushi was writing something down in her book, and I leaned over to look, but there was nothing on the page and the pen looking thing she had wasn't even making a mark, but I could see that she was actually spelling something.

"Do you mind?" Nushi said as she pulled her book away from me and then closed it. "You asked me not to look in your head, and now you're looking in this new journal!" ​​

"Wait… journal? That is The Story, you special System power that I gave you! Also, I can't see a damn thing on those pages anyway, but you are right, and I would wait. So, what do we know?" I asked as I stepped over to Mary, reaching out a hand to her.

She turned to me and smiled, then Mary reached her hand and took mine, slithering over behind me. I squatted down enough for her to grab my shoulder and then wrap around me as I stood.

[Level up: Jilly]: 4

{Jilly}

Level: 4

{Stretch Lumber}- Acquired!

I closed the window that popped up; I would check on Jilly after. I wouldn't be able to see the new place from here anyway, so I would check on her after.

"Thanksss, I don't wantsss to play catch anymore. I will restsss now," Mary said as she rested her head on my shoulder, making me smile as I turned back to Nushi, and the Cerberus girls, who had just got back with my flame sword.

"You asked about results? There are none, each time the girls came back with the weapon, it was the same as before," Nushi said with frustration, and the girls looked like they had just been yelled at.

"Calm down; there has to be a reason for it. I don't know that much about magic or the enchantment, but in games, can't you only enchant non-magical weapons?" I asked, and Nushi looked at me with surprise, but then she got embarrassed and looked away.

"Sorry girls, I should have known that. Kazz is right, and something that is magic can't be given more magic," Nushi said, then took a deep breath before turning back to me, but I just smiled at her.

"It's fine, but we are all learning our powers, and not all of the things that you get will be useful right now. The girls have had a rough time so go easy on them. Maybe it would be good for you to go tell Jilly how you want your room if you are moving out here," I said to Nushi gently, not wanting to upset her next, and she nodded.

"Sure, not like it matters where I live anyways," Nushi said as she walked to the… Holy shit!

"JILLY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" I called out with my hands cupped.

There was no way that she had already built that much! Why was it the same size as the Keep but twice as TALL!?!

Mex is going to flip his shit when he sees this! Yep, it's casting a shadow on the Keep… will Jilly get me out of this?

"What are you yelling about! I am trying to work here!" Jilly yelled at me as she came out of the apartment block, not a barn at all.

"What happened to the barn?" I asked as I got a warning bite on the side of my neck from Mary and a hiss to be quiet, so I lowered my voice. "This thing is twice the size of the Keep! There is no way you have enough wood to build this!"

"No, I didn't, and the barn was stupid, and we couldn't fit everyone in a tiny little place! And we don't have enough lumber! I have to go get more, but I think we should get going after I finished the roof, or we will be out after dark," Jilly explained to me and then stalked off.

I shook my head, but Nushi came out after her and ran over to me.

"Don't worry, my father is inside, and getting Jilly to split the top floor in half for you and him," Nushi said with a flat look.

I wanted to throw my hands in the air and yell in frustration, but the wise side of me said I was bound to get another bite. I just took a deep breath in and signed; it was what it was, and I am sure Mex was going to give me some story about his wife.

"Sure, why not. I guess the castle will be less quiet, but I am not cooking for your father as well!" I said with defiance and quietly, shaking my fist, but even that got a growl from Mary; could snakes growl?

"No, don't worry yourself. I will be in the kitchen to help you when you need it, and I will make Mex's meals," said a familiar voice from behind me, and I turned to find a very… not pregnant Lidy, looking even more attractive than she had when I was filling her mouth.

"I look forward to the help, but I want to get into the habit of preparing the girls' meals for them when you aren't around," I said with a smile to Lidy.

"Me? Not around? You promised me Eggs a different way every day! And I like them! Come Nushi, I will come to stay in your room, but I will leave if you need time with him. I will claim the kitchen as my place!" Lidy said as she took Nushi's arm, and I held my breath.

Nushi's horns started to flap, but then she just turned and walked with Lidy without saying anything. What the fuck just happened there?

My heart was pounding in my chest. I thought that I was about to get some kind of tongue lashing for Lidy, basically saying that she would share me.

Lidy had also claimed the kitchen as her area, and Nushi didn't even say a word. Thought her emotions were all over the place from the way her horns were going wild.

"It'sss too early to mate! Waitsss till dark, and I will…" Mary said after putting her hand over my heart, but then her hand fell away, and she fell back asleep.

Oh? That helped keep the blood flowing, but maybe in the wrong direction!
