Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

“Tell me the price for your best room and what you need to start a tab,” I said, and the crab narrowed his eyes.

“Three hundred, and you can do what you like,” Sebastien said, and I nodded, making three white sand dollars appear on the table of the twenty I was given.

“We are good, right? If I owe you more, I can square up with you after,” I explained, but Sebastien was still staring at the money.

“Don’t ask. I watched Zack put a Giant Jade Sea Turtle shell in his belly, and I still can’t figure out how he got it in there,” Mati said with a tired-sounding voice.

“Well, I like this one, Mati!”

“You had better if you took that much money! You also better give us the best service you have. I want at least two guides!” Mati declared, and Sebastien winced, but I was curious about what it meant to have a guide.

“Where are we going that we need guides?!” I asked in confusion.

“I have a demon that works for me, and each room is a different place she makes,” Sebastien explained. What room do you want?”

“What do you have? I have never been here before, so I don't really know what there is,” I said, and Mati grabbed my hand.

“It’s better if we don’t know! Always more fun if we don’t know what kind of trouble we are getting into!” Mati cheered, but I narrowed my eyes.

“What kind of rooms are these? What should I expect to be on the other side of whatever we go through?” I asked with growing suspicion.

“Depends on what room you go in. Each one is stranger than anything you have seen, so we just have the rooms numbered. You can get hurt inside of the rooms, but only if you do something to hurt yourself. Nothing in there will try to attack or hurt you, so you don’t have to worry about that,” Sebastien explained, and I nodded slowly.

“Oh, come on, Zack! You wanted to get out and have some fun, so relax, and let the current pick your path!” Mati cheered, and I sighed.

“Fine, but what are we going to be taking? I am starting to feel more apprehensive about this as the seconds go on. Maybe this wasn’t as good of an idea as I originally thought it was,” I said, but Mati grabbed my arm and pressed into me, clamping my shoulder with her black and white bazookas.

“But, we can have some fun in there,” Mati whispered and then slowly licked up the side of my neck.

The feeling sent electricity running through my body, but I wasn’t going to be persuaded so easily.

“I can have some fun if I go home to my submarine. Going into a place, I don’t know while taking drugs is akin to walking into the mouth of a megalodon. I just want to know what we are getting into, or I am more than willing to go check out the other two shops and then go home,” I explained.

While I was interested in seeing what these rooms were, I was less interested in getting drugged up with some random cocktail. I wasn’t sure what I had been expecting here, but the place had many more people than I thought.

“Wait! You don’t want to go in?! Where did the adventurous guy go from before?!” Mati complained, still pressed into my shoulder.

“I am adventurous, not stupid. Not everyone has a clear path to the avoidance of all danger. Some of us have to think about the things we do a couple of times before we decide to do them. I am very familiar with Demon Spatial Rooms, but I also know that the Demon that controls the room can make it, so I can’t leave. I was fine with this until I heard that part,” I explained, and Sebastien put his claw-like hands up.

“Woah woah woah there, chief! We are doing nothing like that to our patrons here! We wouldn’t have this many people in here all the time if the place was known for that!” Sebastian quickly explained, but I still wasn’t convinced.

“Let me talk with this demon then, and Purify her if she lets me. She can still do what you need if she wants. I am inquisitive as to why a Demon woman would be hanging around in a place like this,” I said, looking at Sebastien.

“Can’t do that. Xeno is too important, and she belongs to me,” Sebastien said, and my blood started to boil.

I had remained calm up until this point, but I had almost expected this. Now, there would be no drugs or silly fucking rooms.

“I don’t think that you heard me properly. I didn’t ask. Now, if you value your life or your little shit hole of a bar, show me to the Demon,” I growled, but Sebastien started to back up, getting a nasty look on his face.

I would have killed him on the spot, but I needed to find the demon first. Each one of the Demons was a human underneath it all, subconsciously, and I was the reason they were like this.

“Zack, what are you doing? I thought that we were going to have fun! We can get into a fight anywhere! Is the Demon really that important?! I thought that you didn’t like them?” Mati asked me, and I nodded as the entire bar started to turn to stare at me.

“Everyone of them,” I said as Sebastien floated up above the heads of everyone around him.

“We got someone that wanted to take our room girl away! Are you boys going to let that happen? Free drinks for the first one that takes him down, and I will let you have a round with Xeno as a reward!” Sebastien roared, and everyone rose up to float above their tables, but I raised a hand.
