Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

A fire roared from the back of the ax head, and I dashed forward to grab the handle before it smashed back into Keri's mid-section. I tossed Keri back to Nushi, and latched onto the handle of the gigantic jet-ax with both hands.

The damn thing nearly ripped my arms off as my Earth and Fire Pacts both kicked in to weld me to the ground. The force it had could have cleaved through the floor, and then ripped me down into it.

Finally, the ax ran out of juice, and I let out a long sigh as I relaxed my arms. This was one hell of a weapon, and there was no doubt that it worked the way it was intended.

“Sorry!” Keri squeaked, running over to hug my side as I put the massive jet-ax down.

I looked down at her and picked her up, sitting Keri on my shoulders. This was the best place for her in a shop filled with this many dangerous things.

“What is all the noise out here?! We are trying to test weapons, and I can hear you over the explosions!” Keita complained but then stopped when I turned to look at her with Keri on my shoulders.

“We came to see what you have been working on, but Keri touched the jet-ax thing here. That is one intense weapon! I could cut any tree in half with that!” I laughed, and Keita sighed.

“Keri, how many times do I have to tell you not to touch the stuff in here?” Kieta complained.

“Every time. I think you should mention it more than once because I will probably forget,” Keri said plainly, and I could feel her nod her head as she talked.

Kieta slapped her hand to her face, dragging it down in frustration, but then she looked up at me.

“It is good that you came right now. There are a few weapons that I can’t use, so it would be good if I could get your help testing them out,” Kieta explained, and I nodded with a grin.

“You don't have to twist my rubber arm for that! It is the reason why we came down here! Do you have anything that you can give Keri that might interest her? Or a room without a door handle to put her in? I am sure that she will sink the ship if I put her down again!” I laughed, and Kieta sighed, but Nushi spoke up.

“Keri can sit with me, and we can talk. You and Lidy can test out the stuff,” Nushi offered, and I nodded.

“Hey! I am not a child that needs to be watched!” Keri complained but went quiet as the three girls glared at her. “Fine! I will play with Auntie Nushi, but Kieta has to come to play with me after!”

“I will do no such thing! I have too much work to do!” Kieta complained, but I shook my head.

“Nope, I am kicking you out of the shop for the rest of the day. You are going to go take some time off whether you want to or not,” I said as I took Keri off my shoulders, setting her on the ground.

“What? Why?!” Kieta exclaimed.

“Because it isn’t good for you to lock yourself up in here all the time. We are doing some exercises with Beeno this afternoon, and then you can play with Keri after,” Nushi explained, and both Keri and Kieta both flinched back.

“No!” Both girls complained, but Nushi shook her head.

“Mandatory, so you don’t have a choice in the matter. Beeno will come and hunt you both down, and things will only worsen for you. All the women on the ship have to do it. You two aren’t the only ones complaining, but it is good for us to all stay in shape!” Nushi declared, but she seemed excited about it.

“Fine! I still don’t get why I need to be in shape? I have looked this way my entire life!” Kieta complained.

“Cute?” Keri asked.

“No! Thin!” Keita snapped, and Keri giggled.

“Okay, Keri, you go with Nushi, and Keita will join you after,” I said and walked over to kiss Nushi. “Love you. See you both after.”

I turned and grinned at Lidy.

“Are you ready to do this?” I asked, and Lidy grinned back.

“You mean, am I ready to kick you through another wall?” Lidy retorted, and I rolled my eyes.

“You are talking a lot of shit before we hit the field, woman! I am not going to be holding anything back!” I declared, and Lidy tossed her hair back.

“That is good. At least then, I shouldn’t beat you quite as bad this time,” Lidy returned, and my grin broadened.

I was having a hard time not walking over to her to take her into my arms and tear off all her clothes. This kind of banter with a beautiful woman was the type of thing that got my blood boiling in a good way.

“Alright, you two! Let’s go test these weapons out before you start tearing each other's clothes off!” Keita complained as she waved for us to follow.

“Hey, we are keeping things civil! I have no idea what you are talking about!” I laughed, but Lidy came up behind me and grabbed my ass, making a hoot like an owl.

“Really, so I am the only one that wants you to climb on that water bike and fuck me over the handlebars?” Lidy asked in my ear as she leaned in to nip my earlobe, sending a shock through my body.

“I mean, we are supposed to be doing something, but I am sure that Keita won’t mind,'' I whispered, but Keita heard me.

“Yes, I would mind! I am not listening to the pair of you have sex! Come on! We have weapons to test!” Keita ordered.

“You can join us, Kitten. I don’t mind sharing!” Lidy giggled as she dragged me along.

“Now!” Keita yelled as she stormed off to the back of her shop.
