Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

[View of the girls on the beach working on the Underwear Boat]

"Do you really think all of this will work?" Jilly asked as she watched as Hydie created a transparent blue barrier around the long oval-shaped boat that she had created.

Jilly, Hydie, and Lizy were all standing on the beach in front of the submarine that they were creating. Hydie was channeling the waters from the edge of the beach to surround the vessel that was shaped identical to that of a submarine.

The girls had no idea that they were creating a Submarine, and modern-day submarines were definitely not built like this. The girls were also running into some problems, including sinking, breathing, propulsion, and eating, but everyone mostly had a hand in the project.

"Yes, but we still don't know how we are going to make it move. My barrier will replenish the air, but it will also keep the ship filled, keeping it above water. This would be fine, but the boat is meant to be navigated under the water," Hydie explained as she finished covering the exterior of the underwear boat.

Hydie stepped back after speaking and then looked over to Lizy. The Magma Spider lady was in her human form, and she already had some of her red eyes fixed on the storm elemental.

Now it was Lizy's turn to surround the boat in a massive molten cocoon, but she looked unsure. The idea of climbing on top of the ship that looked to be covered in a layer of water wasn't that appealing to her.

"Are you sure it is safe for me to start? It looks like I am just going to slip if I try to get on there and get wet!" Lizy complained, but Hydie shook her head no, but it was Jilly that spoke up.

"No, I have made sure that everything inside is secure, so Hydie can rotate the ship while she turns it," Jilly explained.

"I will also use the barrier to help you get on top of the ship, and then you can transform back into your normal form. Then you can start to slowly cover the entire ship in a cocoon to help protect us from anything that wants to try and take a bite out of us underwater," Hydie also added.

"Aunty Lizy! Can I come up top with you?!" Keri called over as she ran over.

Keri the Gog had been walking up the beach with the now much more shy Kali the Growth Elemental and Veronica. The Sphinx woman was explaining something that Nushi had instructed her on last night.

Now Kali was slowly starting to understand, but she was embarrassed by her actions last night. Veronica had been explaining things about the names she should use and what certain words meant, but the Sphinx woman had also learned some new things.

"Is it okay for her to come up with me? Lizy asked, and Hydie smiled and nodded as Keri ran over to Lizy.

"Yes, both of you can go over there, and I will lift you up," Hydie explained as she gestured with a blue translucent hand to the boat.

A wave of water came up from the beach and slowly formed a set of stairs that you could clearly see through and even had some fish swimming in it.

"What are those things?" Keri asked as she pointed to the fish in the stairs, but then before anyone could answer her, the little woman with burning eyes took off.

At first, Lizy just shrugged and then followed along, but as Hydie watched Keri get closer, she realized that the woman wasn't slowing down.

"Keri! Stop, the water is-!" Hydie called out, but it was too late.

Keri had it in her mind that she was going to get one of the strange looking things that were swimming around in the stairs. What she didn't know was that the stairs were built using a barrier that made it so the water could be walked on.

The Gog-girl ran face-first into the iron wall of water that made up the staircase and bounced off the wall comically. Keri hit the ground, and the other woman gasped, and Lizy ran over to check on her.

Before the Spider lady could get close, Keri bounced back up and dusted herself off like nothing had happened. Though, Keri didn't turn back to look at the other girls because she was slightly embarrassed.

Instead, Keri walked over to the side of the staircase that she had just run into and patted the transparent surface, and she nodded.

"Yup, that is pretty tough," Keri said, slapping the side of the stairs as Lizy came up beside her.

"Are you okay?" Lizy whispered as she focused on the small woman.

"Yup! Let go do… What are we supposed to be doing? "Keri asked as she looked up at the dark skinned woman with multiple red eyes that she rolled in her head.

"I am going to wrap the boat with my molten threads as Hydie spins it," Lizy explained, and Keri nodded along as she did.

Even though the little red woman nodded, Lizy knew that she had no idea what was going to happen, but there was nothing for it. Lizy was already nervous enough as it was.

The idea of trying to stand on this… thing that Jilly had created in her natural form gave her pause. It was not because Jilly had created it, but because it was covered in water, which caused her to get very sick.

When Lizy first came to the island, she had gotten very sick and had almost died due to her body temperature dropping dangerously low. From that point, Lizy had stayed away from water until now.

Keri walked around and started up the stairs but turned around to find Lizy still waiting at the bottom. The spider woman hadn't taken the first step up yet, but she was trying to convince herself that it would be fine.
