Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

Once the girls were done with their bath and were about to leave the bathroom, Keri spoke up.

"Aunty, I have an idea for the boat!" Keri said as Jilly was drying her off.

"Hmm? What kind of idea are you thinking of?" Jilly asked after she finished toweling Keri.

"Since we can't really see the big monsters coming when we are on top of the water, what if we went under?" Keri asked, and Jilly raised an eyebrow forcing herself not to say exactly what she thought of the idea.

"Well, that might be a good idea, but there are only a few of us that breathe underwater. The most important one would be Kazz, and he can hold his breath for a long time, but not for a day. We would constantly need to come up for air, but I can see your point," Jilly explained, but that didn't take the excitement out of Keri.

"Yeah! I know that most can't breathe water, but I am sure we could figure it out if all of us worked together. We should go talk to Kieta! I saw her working on some things, so she might be able to figure it out!" Keri said with even more excitement as she started to jump around.

Jilly looked over at Veronica, who was smiling very brightly after the lessons she had received about her body, but both women knew Kieta. They also knew about her reputation for not being able to create anything that worked the way intended.

"Kiki, I don't know if Kieta will really be able to help," Jilly started to say, but Keri ignored and interrupted her, turning to Veronica.

Veronica was trying to get a shirt over her head and chest but was having a tremendous amount of trouble. Keri didn't seem to mind or care as she started to try and convince Veronica.

"Come on, Veronica! Kieta might be able to help, or she might not, but does she ever come out with you girls?" Keri asked with impatience.

Jilly sighed and went over to help Veronica get her head through the right hole of the black tank top she was struggling with. Once her head was through, Veronica smiled up at Jilly.

"Thank you, but don't you think she is right? I know that I have been enjoying spending more time with you and all the other girls. Maybe it would be good to get Kieta out of her lab for a change?" Veronica asked as she struggled to get her huge breasts tucked into her shirt.

Jilly agreed, and after everyone got dressed, the three girls headed down to the first floor. Seeing all the other happy faces of the girls, they decided to join the other women for a bit before heading out.

Kazz came down with Nushi after that, and the girls did notice them but paid little attention to him. Most of the women wanted his attention so they could be the next in his bed, or at least to get some male relief.

After the experience from last night, The women were more than content to let Kazz get on with his tasks. Now that they all knew that the plan was to leave the island, they didn't want to interrupt him.

Once Kazz had finished his rounds and left out the front door, the trio heard Kieta's confrontation. Keri had been the first to get up, but the blinding light caused her to trip, but Jilly grabbed her before she could hurt herself.

Jilly had already shielded her eyes as soon as she heard Kieta's voice, knowing what it would be about, and figured Kazz would agree. The direct light didn't bother her eyes, but for some reason, Kieta had burst with a far brighter light than the others Jilly had seen.

Once the light cleared, the trio of women went outside to find Kieta, but she was already gone, but the door to her underground shop was still open. The girls all looked between each other and shrugged.

"Whatever happened, she must have been excited about it. I am betting she left the door open in her rush because I don't think that she would have followed Kazz," Veronica said, and Jilly nodded and then looked down at Keri.

Or where Keri had been when she had looked ten seconds ago.

Jilly looked up, and Keri was already running to the horizontally opened metal that led into the ground. Groaning, Jilly started to follow, and Veronica was just behind, trying to cover up her laughter with her hand.

Down in the shop below ground, Kieta was racing to get to her drawing board. Her mind was racing as the missing pieces to all of her failed creations floated around the inside of Kieta's mind now.

"Where are you? I know that I put you… Yes! Now I can start working on-," Kieta had started to say as she grasped the paper that she had been looking for, but Keri's voice made her whip around.

Kieta had only had one person that visited her, and this was not the master, Mex. The small girl with burning eyes was talking to herself and looking at Kieta's different failed creations.

Not wanting to get rid of them, Kieta stored them at the front section of her shop. She had always hoped that one day the missing piece to all her puzzles would come to her.

Mex had bought her from a smith so long ago she had forgotten the man's name who had owned her. Previously a slave, Kieta had always been thankful for what he had done for her and had always wanted to be able to thank him somehow.

Her problem had caused her to never be able to complete anything, leaving Kieta depressed most of the time. Still, no matter how many times she had failed, he would always say the same thing to her.

"Next time, my blue little kitten, there is always next time! Don't think about what hasn't worked, and only think about what could work! I love you, and I know that you will do better tomorrow!"
