Monster Girl Ranching in Another World
Chapter 163 - Sounded Kind Of Silly, A Man We Grew To Love

As Keri and Jilly were talking, Veronica was watching them with interest. Coming to the keep with Kazz had been a split-second decision she had made out of loneliness and pure jealousy of her sister's relationship with the Master...Mex.

That part was still hard for her to remember. Candace and Veronica had known Mex as their master since he came to this island.

The two of the women, still girls at the time, had been running from a large group of Gnolls. Their mother had just been killed by the same group.

Both girls thought that they were going to die when they were chased into a corner. As the mangey creatures closed on the girls, that was when they had met their master for the first time.

Mex had been in his massive demon form and had come out of nowhere. A monster the same color as the sky and like nothing either of the girls had ever seen before.

As Mex had finished slicing the Gnolls into small pieces, the girls had both crouched back in fear. The massive light blue creature that was covered in Gnoll blood with burning eyes had turned on them.

Veronica remembered this part like it had just happened, and seeing Keri urinate in fear had reminded her of Candace's reaction to seeing Mex. The terror of seeing a demon for the first time had frozen Veronica in fear, but then he had tossed the big black sword to the side, and it had disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, Mex then shrunk back down. That night, the man standing there had saved those girls.

"Beautiful creatures such as Sphinx being chased down by ugly perversions such as these? Not while I am around to do something about it!" Mex had announced in a dramatic voice, and then his expression had changed to one mixed with pain as he looked down at the girls.

His dramatic words seemed silly to Veronica now. At the time, that man had saved their lives and was a hero to them then, and still was.

The scared girls had barely come up to his hips even when he was shrunk down. He walked over to the girls and bent down with a sad look in his eyes.

"I think I found your mother back there, she was the only one, but she is gone. I know this is hard for you girls to hear, but I need you both to listen very carefully to me if you want to live," Mex had told them, and then explained about Demons and the others that had come with him but weren't like him.

Later on, the girls would learn that Mex was the only Demon like himself. In time, the girls found out that the other Demons were worse than the monsters.

Still, Mex had kept Candace and Veronica safe from that day forward. Even finding and cleaning out the Maze for them to live in, away from the Demons.

Then he found Jessabell and asked them to watch her. All the time, Mex would come to visit and telling them stories of his home on Gardania.

Over that time, Mex and Candance had started messing around because Candace had turned out to be unable to have a child. It hadn't bothered Veronica at first, but she finally approached Mex about it as the year went by. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NovᴇlFɪre .ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

"I understand how you feel, and I think you are just as beautiful as your sister, but I refuse to take the chance of you having a child with you. One day, we will leave this island, and we will return to where I came from. I don't know when exactly, but when we do, I will find you a proper man perfect for you, even if I have to put a collar around him!" Mex had joked, and Veronica had waited for five years.

Then something had happened, and Candace had come home in a rage that day. It was after Mex had come for one of his visits to make her scream his name loud enough for the entire island to hear.

"That pink creature that Mex asked me to test is beyond frustrating and strange, and I am going to strip his mind of every thought that he has ever had!" Candace raged, and she pranced up to the Mazes entrance that Veronica was sitting in enjoying the sun.

Veronica had been confused because Mex hadn't mentioned anything to her about this pink man. Candace hadn't been in the mood to talk when she got back, so Veronica was perplexed about what was going on.

Mex always told both of them about everything, as far as she knew, but maybe her sister and Mex were closer than she had thought. Veronica remembered that the thought had bothered her quite a bit, but Mex had come again to see Candace that night but stopped to talk to Veronica first.

"Hello, my dear Veronica. You are looking the wrong shade of blue today, my beautiful Feline Goddess! What has made you so upset, my little Blueberry?" Mex asked while trying to sweeten Veronica up.

"Who is the pink man, and why did you tell Candace about him and not me?" Veronica had asked.

Now, Veronica could see how childish she had been, but it was always easier to look at the past than see the future. Mex had grinned and then laughed, but then got very serious with her, surprising Veronica.

"The pink man is Kazz. What his race is, I am not really sure, but what he is, is a Hero!" Mex said, and Veronica had given him a confused look.

All the so-called heroes went to the village and hardly ever left because monsters were constantly attacking it, and Mex wouldn't have sent Candace near the Demons. On top of that, The heroes were worse than most of the Demons, and Mex never talked about them unless it was to mention one dying.

"I know what you are thinking, but this one is different. So much so that I have even trusted my little Nushi in his care! I am sure you are wondering why I told your sister, and not you, and why I am here right now," Mex had told her and then smiled warmly as he continued. "I love you more than the world, but you know that I can't treat you the same as I do your sister. I can't promise you that it will work out, but I think I might have found someone for you."

Now Veronica was sitting on the edge of a pool in a new body, friends, and she was closer to getting what she desired than she had ever been in her life. Closing her eyes, Veronica thanked whoever was out there watching over her and gilding her to this point in her life.
