Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

Chapter 233 - Freedom, Uneasy Sounding Laugh

I smiled at Jilly and looked around at everyone else gathered in the center of the canyon. I could even see people up high up on the cliffs, but I wanted to lift us up so everyone could see.

I pulled at the stone around me and forced us all up into the air on a thirty-foot-wide stone platform. I lifted it up about ten feet in the air, and then I moved directly into the center of it, lifting a three-foot section up another five feet.

This placed me above everyone's head and in view of the ocean of blue Demons and the three rivers that poured into it. I could see the path leading to the northwest had more creatures that must be the Orcs.

Hard to say what they looked like other than hairless monkey-pig-men. Some did look like women, but I don't even think my system could do enough work on those ones!

[Maybe you could get Hydie to do a post-evolution touch-up?]

'Or maybe I don't have to screw everything that moves!'

[Really? I was under the impression that this was your plan from the start? You seem to be making a reasonable effort at it.] .

I ignored Hero and switched the Elemental Aspect, and my body became lighter. My body appeared to have parts of it blowing away, but then they would reform right away.

I concentrated like Windorf had shown me and focused on amplifying my voice. When I started to speak, my voice projected out in all directions at once.

"Sorry to gather you all here like this, but there are a few things that I wanted to talk about, and I don't have time to go to all the places. I will be leaving this island and heading back to Gardania, and you are all welcome to join me, but you don't have to. I know that you were asked not to return, but I will be with you, and you won't be demons anymore. This change will happen whether you stay on the island or go," I explained to everyone.

The crowd burst out in chatter, and I let them all talk. It wasn't like they had to make the decision right now.

This was probably a big shock for all of them who had lived their lives under the rule of someone else. I was basically telling them that they could stay and live free without worry, and it probably didn't feel or sound real to most.

"Why would you just let us stay here if you are going far away?! You won't be able to control us then!" One Demon called up, and a couple other ones were cheering his words.

I nodded to the words; I had expected this.

"I have no need to want to control you. All of you are free to do what you want, but you can not harm others for no reason or commit senseless acts of violence. You will all be undergoing some changes in the next two days, and you are going to lose your urges to become violent, and your magic and skill should also change," I explained, and then Mex stepped forward, and waved his hands in the air to get everyone's attention.

"I have gone through the transformation, and I feel great!" Mex said, but then a significant number of Demons started to laugh at him, but Mex just grinned.

Suddenly half of his body started to run and become dark water, and then the other side became black with bright red cracks. Everyone that was laughing went silent, and the others exclaimed at his new form.

I had to admit, he looked pretty cool, and I was pretty surprised that he could even do that. Mex backed up and then got behind the girls after he talked, and I was curious about what he was doing.

Then the elements vanished from him, and Mex collapsed on the ground, out cold.

The man had shown off, but it had left an effect on the others. Most of them would have a brief understanding of what a class could and couldn't do.

So Mex's little demonstration of using two Aspects at once should clearly indicate the possibilities. I waited for everyone to settle back down before I spoke again.

"You don't need to make your decision right now, but I will be… putting you all through a bit of a ritual of sorts," I said to everyone.

[Oh yeah, one of the black magic orgies under a full moon at midnight kind of thing, right?]

'Pretty much.'

"What are we going to change into? Are we all going to look pink like you and Mex?" Another Demon asked, and I had to laugh at the question, but then I answered him.

"I have no Idea, Aliens, monsters, pink men, I have no clue. Whatever you all change into it will be better than what you are now, that I can mostly say for sure, kinda," I said with about as much confidence as I felt.

My comment actually made everyone start to break into a slow and uneasy sounding laugh that slowly grew. Soon, everyone in the area, monsters included, were all laughing, but I don't think most of them even knew why.

They were all just infected by the generally good feeling that was coming from everyone. They all seemed to understand that what I was saying was true, and they were going to actually be free.

I switched Aspects back to Earth, and lowered my podium, and smiled at the girls around me as Mex was being helped up. I looked over to Beeno, who was still standing with the girls, and grinned at her as I lowered the central platform of stone.

Beeno looked over at the other girls, but both stepped away from her, and she could tell I was focused on her. Her face started to heat up as I walked over to her, and purple started to stain her face.

"Ready to have some fun?" I asked, shifting to a gentle smile.
