Monster Girl Ranching in Another World
Chapter 90 - Extortionists, And IrritatedThe flower girl had a very sparse grass dress if you could call it that. It didn't do a very good job of covering her up, and this is why I was getting yell at; better start things off a little better.
"Sorry, you are gorgeous, but I will try not to look at you, but you should cover yourself up if you don't want me to look," I said and turned away, but I was already trying to unsummon her.
I didn't have time for this, and I needed to go to my next lesson with Wataluga.
"Okay, you can turn around now; I am covered. My name is Kali," the girl told me, and I did as told, but then slapped a hand over my face and shook my head.
Kali was wearing a pink ski mask made out of flower petals, but she had done nothing to cover herself up.
"Listen, Kali, we need to get going, so I am going to have to unsummon you, for now, okay?" I asked the girl as she used her hands to cover her face more.

<Well, you have your first plant bond.>
"Well, you have your first plant bond!" I said out loud in a mocking voice and then started to run.
< Don't be like that, she was the cutest thing that you have found yet!>
Oh yeah, real fucking cute and extremely whiney; I was just starting to break Nushi of that. Now I had another overgrown child in my care, but she was in my care, so I would have to deal with her at some point, but maybe not yet.
Since I had killed the Hellcat, the jungle had become pretty quiet, and I was able to make my way without much trouble. That didn't mean that the rest of my jog was uneventful, but I was starting to be able to focus my mind better, and I was able to keep it from wandering.
A small pack of Kobold tried to attack me; they had tried to ambush me. After I broke the first one's neck and tossed it back into the bush, the rest of them stayed quiet and still.
I wasn't in the mood to kill for fun; in fact, I really didn't want to have to kill something unless I had to. That, or it was some horrendous monster that just needed a good killing, I would do that as well.
<That is an excellent view to have. There is nothing wrong with not being bloodthirsty, but just make sure that it doesn't hold you back from doing what needs to be done. Sometimes it is better to cut the head off the snake rather than let it breed more snakes.>
I knew that as well, and if I had to, I would stop a problem before it turned into a bigger one, but now I was coming up to the waterfall.
<Activate Kali, the Wind Totem will give you a lightness and more speed, but it will make your temper easier to trigger. Watch yourself and your words with Wataluga, or you will have to come back out here another day to get this Pact.>
Oh great, this is precisely what I needed, something to make me more agitated. I had just gotten ahold of my over-thinking! Now I was about to add another thing into the mix, and I was already getting worked up.
I took a deep breath in, held it, and then let it out once I entered Wataluga's clearing. I reached inside of myself and then took hold of Kali's Totem, and to my surprise, she squealed in delight.
"So, you want to use my power? Are you going to let me back out later? Or am I just going to be stuck inside of you muted until you need me? I can tell if you are lying!" Kali said as time seemed to freeze.

Still, I guess I would have to put up with her, and it wasn't fair that she had to stay cooped up like this after living a stationary but free life.
"Sure, but not until after I am done training. On the way back and when I am home, I will let you out until you can hold your own, okay?" I asked, but then I was able to move again, and smoky gray lines spread over my arms with the rippling blue ones.
"Looks like you have been busy, and is that you, old friend?" Wataluga asked as he rose from the water, and I felt something leave me, but not completely.
"Yes, the boy has passed my training, and now it is time for him to take another run at yours," Grovel said with a laugh as he went to sit down on the ground far away from me.
"Can we get started already?" I asked without even thinking, and both elementals looked at me, and I took another deep breath. "Sorry, I am trying to use two Totems at the same time, and this Wind Totem seems to make me a bit short-tempered."
"Well, you had better get ready to sweat because I am not going to take it easy on you this time!" Wataluga said, and then both of the elementals started to laugh at me, and I ground my teeth but kept my mouth shut.
I could do this, even if I wanted to punch them right in the smug faces!
