Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

Back on the beach, the girls were finally starting to make some progress on the Deep Sea Bottom Piercing Sucker Boat. Keri had placed herself in charge of naming the ship, and no one complained because that was the job she had to stick with.

That meant everyone else that was helping was free to do their work without being asked question after question. Keri rarely even listens to the entire answer before asking about something in the answer.

The name Deep Sea Bottom Piercing Sucker Boat did get most of the boat's features in it, but it was a bit wordy. The boat was a submarine of sorts that looked like a flat bottom feeder type of fish, but many other features were being added.

"Do you think that you will be able to seal the boat in one of your barriers and still make tight seals? I am worried about the moving parts on the outside of the boat. The metal on the outside and then your barrier, and the rest of the inside as wood is a good idea if we can keep it dry, right?" Kieta asked Hydie, and she nodded with a smile.

Hydie opened her blue transparent mouth to reply, but she stopped and started to look around. She could feel new presences starting to move closer to the village, but then they stopped about five hundred feet from the village.

"Something wrong?" Kieta asked as she looked up at a distracted Hydie that was looking back towards the village.

"New Demons are starting to surround us! I need to go tell Nixi!" Hydie said, not really sure who else to tell, and she turned to where she was sitting as she chatted with Nuhsi and the short-horned Kimera.

They had been talking about what the possibilities were going to be in two days. They were also making assumptions about what was really going to happen then.

It wasn't like they didn't believe Kazz, but Nixi and Kimera both knew that men had a way of only hearing what they wanted to.

"Demons are here!" Hydie exclaimed to Nixi, and she looked up at the Storm Spirit that had small static discharges crackled off her skin.

"Yes, as expected," Nixi said and then went back to her Mini-Kazz theory she was discussing.

Hydie was confused, and Kimera ignored Nixi, to her great displeasure, and cut her off by talking over.

"Not much that we can do about it, Nixi could Kill many of them, but it only takes one well-placed strike or shot; she is down. The rest of us just aren't strong enough to help or don't have the skills needed," Kimera explained, and Hydie got a worried look on her face, but Jilly was close by talking with Veronica and Lizy about some designs.

Only partially hearing the end of the conversation, Jilly asked the girls to wait and moved over to the demons and Storm Spirit.

"Who isn't strong enough?" Jilly asked, with the girls following behind her.

"None of us are strong enough to fight over one hundred Demons!" Nixi snapped, but Jilly started to laugh as she looked down at Nushi, who remained quiet but had a slight smile.

"None of you that are not part of Kazz might be able to, but I think that we could send Missy and Mary out there alone, and they could fight them alone without even trying!" Jilly said with a smirk and then looked down at the grinning demon and asked her, "Nushi, who are we sending out to deal with this? Who is going to check the castle, and who is going to check on that idiot man?!"

At Jilly's declaration, Hydie perked up, and sparks shot off her. Her thoughts had been surrounding Kazz, and she wanted to be able to go check on him but knew that was silly.

"You and Lizy will be responsible for taking care of the demons here surrounding the village, and Lani and The Cerberus girls will help you," Nushi started to explain, and Jilly nodded, looking up and across the beach that no longer had the Steel Silk threads and Chiton bramble on it.

Lani was down the beach, playing fetch with the girls. Jilly had also noticed that she had also been testing out the things that had been enchanted.

The mermaid sisters were out in the water enjoying themselves. Mary and Missy were playing tag in the waves as they rolled into the beach a way out.

Jilly had worried briefly about the women, but a shark had tried to attack them as they played and missed by a ridiculous proportion. Then the girls attacked and ate the shark, and Jilly couldn't say that she wasn't envious of them.

Jilly decided that whatever attacked the girls would be doing it at its own risk, and she continued to listen to Nushi.

"Nixi, I want you to go back with Veronica and go give Jessabell her mask. She will take care of the rest of the demons that are there if you all help her with them," Nushi said, but Nixi spoke up, waving her hands for Nushi to wait.

"Hold on! When did your father tell you about that?! She isn't part of Kazz yet!" Nixi explained, but Nushi shook her head.

"I got it from your head and the reason why Father has only ever used it once. Kazz is going to Kill Dao; that is the only reason why he would send demons to us now. If Kazz is dealing with Dao, what creature will be able to even come close to Her strength? I think father will agree with me, so you can go and talk to him about it," Nushi explained.

"Then who are you sending to go get Kazz?" Nixi asked, and even Hydie could feel it as the air started to become charged and hair started to stand.

"Hydie and I will go fetch our soon-to-be Master before he does something stupid like getting himself killed," Nushi said as she stood up.
