Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

I turned back and headed to the bathroom where Jilly was waiting and went inside to find Jilly naked and already in the water. I smiled and walked over to where the towels and soap were and grabbed a pail that was beside the stand.

"Took you long enough; you sure like to keep a girl waiting," Jilly said, and then sunk down into the water and started to move around in the water to get her body wet.

"Sorry, I had to talk to some people, but I am here now, and it is time to get you clean," I said as I waded into the water with my bucket that had my soap and rags in it.

"It's fine. I know that you are doing things right now, and that is a lot of work. I am almost always surprised with how willing you are to help everyone," Jilly said as I started to scrub her red shell.

"I am not saying that it is my job, but it is the task that I have set myself on, and I hate to see people in trouble. I am also trying to make up for my previous life where all I did was cheat and do things for myself, so I want to do things differently this time. I also need all of your help in order to make it anywhere," I said, but I was surprised with how well the grime came off.

"What? Just because I can build things?" Jilly said, whipping around and hitting me across the face with her breasts. "Oops, sorry!"

It was a good slap, but good in a good way not, ouch, that hurt way, and I started to laugh. It's really a pity that this woman didn't see how important she was to all of us.

"Your little building things are one of the most important and helpful systems that any of the girls have, and I think we will ever have! I am so thankful that you are the one that got it because I think that you are the only one that can properly use it," I said to Jilly as I moved down her shell and scrubbed. "Can you tell me some more about Lizy? You know that I am going to have to go get her, so I need to know what to watch for."

Jilly turned away from me at first, and I thought that I was just going to get another titty smack, but she let out a long breath instead. Then Jilly turned slowly back towards me, and that is when she started to explain.

"I don't know how much I can actually help you when it comes to her. Like you said, I had never asked any questions or really learned that much about her. I had thought that we were something like friends, and I thought that the challenge was going to be something small. I was naive, and I lost my home. That used to bother me, but now… I am here with you, and it doesn't hurt quite as bad as it did, and I feel like I actually belong with you all," Jilly said, and I continued to clean but spoke up.

"That's why I do this; I want to make a place that is a home for anyone that wants it and is willing to work together as a team and family. I wanted to ask you something about your last home, in the ravine. You still owe the Demon Lord Doa rent for there, right? How can we go about paying that?" I asked, and Jilly's eyes went big.

"I forgot about that! You will have to ask Mex to send you on an actual mission tomorrow, not on one of his tasks. Then you will be able to collect MP, and then we can give it to Doa, but you will have to go and visit him," Jilly explained, and I raised an eyebrow, and not only because there were a lot of you's in there and no us's.

"That does not sound healthy; I mean me going to see the Great Demon Lord of the island, right?" I asked, but Jilly shook her head.

"No, he has no reason to hurt you or even bother you unless you do something to hurt him in any way. If that happens, then it doesn't matter where you are on the island; he will come for you. Demons are not all unreasonable, and Doa will not chance losing any of his good warriors to fight you. I am sure that his goal is to get off this island; unlike the Lesser Demon lords that have no ambitions, Doa wants to increase his rank to the highest level, Empyreal," Jilly explained as I started on her legs.

"Okay, that makes sense. So, I just have to get the Monster Points and then drop them off to Doa, and you will be square with him?" I asked, and Jilly gave me a funny look, and I laughed. "Sorry, I meant that you would not owe him anything else. How many Monster Points was your rent?"

"Three hundred points," Jilly said, turning to look forward as I moved to her other side and started cleaning her other legs.

That really didn't seem that bad, but what was with the weird way she was acting now, and that made me start to get a bit worried. Maybe I would only get one to five from the mission?

"Okay, three hundred MP isn't that bad, but how many MP do I get for each mission on average?" I asked, thinking that I would get about that much from a single mission.

"Anywhere from ten and up, it all depends on the rank of the mission given, but I am also six months late on my rent, and that is why Doa was sending someone to come and collect it from me," Jilly explained, and I froze.

What the fuck did she just say? Six Months?!
