Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

Now that I was no longer dry as a fart in a sandstorm, Mex waved for me to follow with a sly smile. I felt like I was missing something, but that was completely reasonable considering what I had just gone through.

It had been hard enough already to follow what he had been saying about the last Elemental that we were going to meet, but I was interested in the daughter. I caught up to Mex and was about to ask him about her, but he put up a finger just as I was about to speak. ​​

"Don't bother; you won't see her this time anyways. If you survive this, then I have picked properly; if not, well, you know," Mex said as the Evergreen trees started to become denser, and soon the rock plateau was visible from a distance.

Soon the trees became too thick, and I lost the rock outcropping, but one thing that I was able to notice was the constant vines and hissing flowers. I don't remember seeing them near the fire lake, but there would be no way that they could survive there anyways.

"Hey, what is with the flowers and vines? They seem to be everywhere we go," I asked Mex without saying, up this time as I started to be able to make out the rock plateau again.

"Those are my wife's creations, and they run everywhere. She uses them to check up on things for me," Mex said as the plateau came into full view.

"So she can hear us?" I asked, a bit worried.

"No, only see us," Mex said, but that didn't make me feel any better.

Someone that would have an ability like that would probably learn how to read lips pretty fast, but I wasn't about to go putting strange thoughts into his head. I would just have to keep a hold of this bit of knowledge, but maybe Nixi was right.

"What do you want, Great Demon Lord of Nothing?" Called a wisped and condescending voice from the plateau.

"I am here to bring you a student, just like you asked," Mex said while holding a straight face.

"This is what was spit out, and that's what you brought me after all this time? I respect your actions, just not the man behind them, so I will test this Breath," The condescending voice said as we stepped onto the rock ledge that overlooked a beautiful green valley.

As we stepped onto the platform, the wind picked up, and the streams became white and visible until they coalesced. The shape of a white armored knight appeared, but I couldn't see his face because the visor of his helmet was down, closing off his face if he had one.

"This is him, so do not relax. Your life's on the line; get your weapon out!" Mex hissed at me, and I grabbed at my bet and found what I needed.

I still somehow managed not to lose my flame saber, so I lit it up as the Windborn knight drew a pale, long, and narrow sword. The thing was a child's toy compared to the massive blade that Mex used, but something told me to be prepared.

"I just want to be able to protect the girls and be the strongest in the world. Is that too much to ask for?" I asked as I brought my sword up, and that probably saved my life.

White and red sparks filled the air as Windorf slammed into me from out of nowhere. I felt the force, but he only made me slide back, but only a little bit.

Once I got my footing, I was able to shove the Air Knight back, and I held my sword up as the Elemental landed gently on the ground and then put his sword away. That was close, but I was ready now, and I wouldn't be caught like that again, I hoped.

"You can come tomorrow after you go through the training with the other three, but properly, or I'll just kill you next time," Windorf said and then blew away like smoke on the wind.

I was confused about what had just happened. Did I win? Was it even a test? I guess being alive was my reward for passing...

"Well done, the chance is really on your side today! Well, now you have met your teachers, and you know what you have to do, so let's go see what the pack of fish faces are so worked up about," Mex said as he waved me forward to follow him across the plateau.

Well, that one would be fun to deal with. I would have died if I had acted a second later, but I didn't, and that was what mattered.

"Is he always so abrupt?" I asked in confusion.

"Yes, but you will need to do more than just block him. Windorf is a Wind Elemental, so do not fear hurting him, and go for the kill every time you want to make any progress with him. That or he will just kill you out of boredom," Mex explained to me, and I nodded, understanding what he meant; I needed to get stronger and faster.

Mex had warned me that there was a chance that I could die, but the new strength that he had helped me get helped as well. I would have never guessed that I was getting training from each visit.

"So, do you know why the Sahuagin are bothering your village?" I asked as we walked back into the forest, but Mex started to run, and I had to catch up.

"They constantly come and bother the villagers because their cute wite will only have anything to do with them once a year. The females have more scaled bodies, but they have female faces, and they are all beautiful, and they constantly cheat on them with other races. So, the Male Sahuagin mope, whine, and cry to anyone that will listen and everyone that won't! Lately, I have heard more about it, so I decided it was time to check things out," Mex explained as we ran through the forest.

The sun was slowly starting to set, and it was getting darker bit by bit, but I could smell the ocean breeze as we got closer. I heard the waves before I even saw the water, and we came out just as the sun was starting to touch the water.

The water was almost blinding as we came out, and I had to put my hand up to block it. I could see a small village, and there were also two long floating docks, but the village only consisted of maybe ten huts.

Then I saw the group of sorry souls. Maybe about fifteen bluish-green men were walking in circles, and all I could hear was bitching and moaning.

"Well, they seem more worked up than normal," Mex said as we started towards them, but the one noticed us.

"Oh Great Demon, Lord Mex! OOO, HOOO, HOOO! Barracuda men came and took all our women! OOO, HOOO, HOOO! And they took Missy too! OOO, HOOO, HOOO! The fish-faced Sahuagin cried, making horrible crying noises, and then Mex turned to me.

"Looks like I have another job for you," Mex said with a grin that made me want to punch him in the kisser.
