Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

Chapter 139 - Overreacted, You Can't Help It

I didn't open the door right away. Out of force of habit, I took a deep breath and let it back out.

Even though I didn't need air anymore, it still made me feel better and more relaxed to do so.

I closed my hand around the door handle, pressed the lever, and pushed it open. Lidy was sitting up in her bed with her back against the simple wooden headboard.

She had an even expression on her face, but Lidy didn't look mad, but she did look tired. I could only imagine what it must be like for her right now, but she looked to be uninjured.

"How are you feeling?" I asked as I walked over to the bed with my plate for her.

I was hoping to share some of what I had brought, but I would be fine if I had to scrounge up something after.

"Tired, but that was my own fault for losing control like that, but I was irritated with how I had just asked such a simple thing that you had promised me. I know it was a simple thing, but I don't take things simply, and people don't treat me nice like you do. When you tried to kiss me, I was scared that if I let you and liked it like I knew I would, you would just ignore me. After you had forgotten about your promise, It felt like everything I had been feeling slammed into me all at once," Lidy explained as I sat down on the side of the bed beside her, handing her a fork and then setting the plate on her lap.

I really understood where she was coming from, and I was sorry that I made her feel that way. The thing was that I wasn't fully aware of what it meant when Lidy was explained as a passion Demon, and there was more than just her around here.

But, I had made a promise, and I broke it. I hadn't made a promise to anyone else other than Nushi, so I really had no excuse; this was my fault.

"You were right to feel that way and to say that I didn't understand the culture of all the different things would just be an admission of ignorance anyways. I made a promise to you, and I broke it. I am very sorry for that, and I will try to do better in the future, but I can't promise to make eggs or any food every day. There are times when we will be apart once I find us a place to set up a ranch on Gardania," I explained as Lidy ate, and she nodded, and I waited for her to finish chewing.

"I know that, and I know that you are trying to help everyone, and I was unreasonable, but…." Lidy started to say, but I took her hands in mine and finished her sentence.

"You can't help it; I know. Or, at least, now I do, and I understand the implications my words have on you. I am still trying to learn all of this, but I am slowly getting it, and I will work harder to be more conscious of those things," I said to Lidy and let go of one of her hands so she could still eat.

"I was still surprised that I was able to stop myself, and I was even more surprised when I saw you take it all in after getting huge. When did you learn to do that? I feel like you are advancing far faster than the Master ever had, and you are getting much stronger, maybe more than the Master?" Lidy asked me curiously as she started to eat again.

It was true that I was starting to get stronger, but I guess that she didn't know about me and Mex's slight role reversal. I didn't need to mention it right now, so I let her finish eating… All the food, just as I had expected, but she looked even more tired than when I had entered, but now she was wearing a smile on her face.

I leaned in and brushed her cheek and then moved in to kiss her. Lidy didn't pull away, but I still moved slowly until our lips touched.

Once the connection was made, I moved my hand behind her head, pulling Lidy gently into my kiss. She was tired, so I didn't want to start any fire just yet, but I might sneak in later after she rested more, and I went out and saw the girls.

There was also finishing my talk with Nixi, and Mex then got information about Dao. A couple things that needed to be done, and then I could come back for more, but I would have to go plant another seed before I got into this bed.

So many women to do, and only one of me, but I also wouldn't want to miss any of the action by getting someone else to do the work for me! No, I would take my time with the girls and spend time when I could, but I wasn't about to go messing up two promises.

We slowly pulled apart, and Lidy was smiling warmly at me as we did, and I was feeling good now that this had been sorted out.

I took the plate from Lidy and stood up, but I held eye contact with her.

"I will try to stop by later tonight after you have rested, and we can talk more if you want," I said, and Lidy rolled her eyes at me and scoffed.

"Yes, because that's what you are coming to do. Talking, right?" Lidy asked, and I grinned, leaning down to kiss her one more time before turning to leave the room.

I closed the door, and smiled to myself, and then looked up at the pair of doors that had the sisters' names on them.

Mary, and Missy.
