Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

Chapter 138 - Make-Up, Treat Me Better

Only the sounds of cooking could be heard in the kitchen; everyone was silent after my explanation. I could see all of them thinking about what I said, and Nixi was the first one to speak up.

"So, what you are saying is all we have to do is change how we act, and that will change everyone over to acting like that? You have to be nuts to think that I would believe something like this could be so easy!" Nixi said to me, and I shook my head again.

"I never once said that changing everyone else would be easy; that part never is easy, but it always takes one person to start it. This is all you have ever known, but I have seen a dramatic improvement in everyone in the Keep over the last four days. If this was just from me being around and acting normally, what kind of effect will it have if you all start doing it?" I asked, and Nixi went quiet again.

The change was always met with resistance, but that doesn't mean that it will stop the change. If the idea is strong enough, nothing will ever be able to stop the change from happening, but there would be some large walls to overcome in the future.

Still, if I could get the world to start changing here, with these Demons and monster girls, I would slowly start creating a trend.

"It won't catch on at first, and others will treat us the same way you have been treating Mex. People will think we are jokes or that we are just trying to trick them, but in time, we will change that view, just like I did for you all. All it takes is one push to get the ball rolling, and as long as we all keep rolling with it together. At first, our ball will be small, and it will take a while before we start getting traction and pulling people in. The more we do, the more momentum we will gather, and it will start becoming easier," I explained.

"I can see where you are going with this, and you know that I am more than willing to keep on being myself, but what about the rest of you?" Mex asked as he looked around the room that was starting to make my stomach growl from all the smells permeating up from the cooked food.

The women had been taking it all out, and now hungry faces were starting to poke into the room.

"While I think your idea is never going to work, I really can't find a reason other than it not being right to not try. But if I do, then the rest of you had better follow suit! I don't know how well I will do, but I will try to treat the rest of you with a bit more respect. Though, the first one to test me will end up inside of me!" Nixi threatened the room, and I scrubbed my hand over my face wanting to drop a chop on the top of Nixi's head, but I had to take what I could get from her.

If she was willing to try it out, then it might not be as hard to do with the rest of the Demons, but I also thought that Nixi's anger and bravado were a bit showy sometimes. The real demons at sea and one Gardania would be a different story.

Before we got started on the next set of glaring issues, I let the grandmothers plate the food and pass it out. While they did that, I went back to their stove and cooked the scrambled eggs, bacon chunks, and some cubed hash, tossing them back into the pan.

I grated some cheese over it and tossed it a bit more in the pan to melt it. I then dropped it out onto a plate and then told the other that I would be back in a bit.

I headed out of the kitchen with my giant plate of food, two forks and into the living room area filled with monster girls. Two that were down here were Mary and Missy, and it had felt like ages since I had seen her.

"Going to make up? I hope that you are ready for round two with her, right?" Jilly asked after she finished chewing an ant section as I passed her.

I smiled and kept walking; Jilly was just trying to get under my skin to bug me, but I really hoped that this didn't turn into another fight.

I walked up the stairs, and the sounds of the girls talking faded, and I looked over the four doors on this level.

One of the doors said Lizy's room, and beside it was Keri's. On the other side, it said Missy and Mary, with their doors beside each other.

I would have to stop by on my way back to see how they were doing and if Mary was done treating me like some wild animal encroaching on her food. I missed her hisses and her being wrapped around me, but maybe now, Mary would treat me a bit better with her sister around.

I turned to head up the next set of stairs and then stopped as I looked up at what seemed to be a never-ending staircase that went up on an angle. There was no way that that could be right, or it would lead outside of the building, and the building wasn't this tall!

[One of the women must be able to use some kind of special magic, no point in trying to wrap your head around it. If you try, you are more than likely to hurt yourself in the process. Also, your food is getting cold, so I suggest you focus on what is essential right now.]

You and your logic, but Hero was right, and I hurried up to the next floor where I could see Lidy's room beside the Cerberus girl's room.

I walked up to the door and reached for the handle but froze.

What was I going to say?

"Probably something to explain why the food is cold," I heard Lidy's tired-sounding voice say from the other side of the door, and I almost dropped the plate.
