Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

Chapter 377 If I Had Toes

“Hmm, well, I will get back to relaxing and try to put this out of my head for now,” I said, standing up from my chair.

I opened my eyes, and Mati was still looking at me.

“There, done,” I said, and Mati frowned.

“Done what?” Mati asked. “You only blinked.”

“That was all the time I needed to get things going. I have the four elementals working on creating a place to store the people I find now. Are you ready to go?” I asked, and Mati nodded, but she looked uneasy.

“You are more than not normal. I have never met anyone like you, which worries me. I am actually worried that you might be crazier than I am!”

“I am crazier than you, so don’t try to top it. If there is a good fight to be had or a fun time, I am on it like dirt on a shirt!” I laughed.

I turned and nodded to Philly, and he waved back.

“I will see you when you return. I am sure that I will be ready when you get back,” Philly explained, and I nodded, turning to leave with Mati.

“I guess, but try not to destroy the bar. Sebastien doesn't like having to rebuild his bar,” Mati told me as we left the shop.

“I won’t destroy the bar, but I can’t promise I would get into trouble. Always better to get into trouble than let trouble get into you!” I laughed, and Mati shook her head.

“Why does this feel like I am doing something wrong? Normally I am the one that everyone else has to look out for. I have never been around someone more dangerous than me,” Mati complained as we started to head for the giant gray dome, but I stopped.

“What about the other two shops?” I asked, but Mati shook her head.

“Nope, you have more than enough for us to have a good time. I already had to wait for you at the last shop, so you can go do that after! One sells food, and the other is a smith, but you don’t need either right now!” Mati stated, pinning her breasts down that were floating up into her face.

“Yes, Yes, Yes. We can go do what you want, but you are pretty bossy for someone with no money,” I teased.

Mati grinned back at me, letting go of her breasts, and came over to wrap arms around my neck. Her breast squished between us, and she looked up at me with black pupils that filled almost both eyes.

“I mean, if you want to do it, we can, but I want to ensure that you know what you are getting into. I told you that I don’t need money, but I am not offering myself for your money. You will pay for me; I am not worried about that. I just told myself that I wouldn’t leave the person I did it with,” Mati explained, and I nodded.

I could understand where Mati was coming from. The reason that I was trying to get her to join us was to deal with the reason why she was alone.

“No need to rush it. I understand why you want to make sure; I was just teasing you,” I smiled, and Mati nodded.

“I want to have a child one day, you know. My parents were never there, so I don’t want to leave my child to wander all alone. If you want to do this thing with me, you're stuck with me for the rest of your life. I don’t care about other women, but I need to make sure that you are not just going to leave me alone,” Mati said, and I wrapped my arms around her, resting my arms on her fin.

“I get it, and I am not going to leave you. You will be with the other girls and me. Mary is already pregnant,” I said, and Mati’s eyes widened.

“Really?! You already slept with my sister and got her pregnant? How many times have you guys done it?!” Mati asked with surprise, and I looked up for a moment.

“Only two times, but I can ensure you get pregnant the first time. Still, if you get pregnant, you won't be able to come out to the bars until your child is born,” I explained, and Mati pulled back in shock.

“Why not?!”

“Whatever you put in, you will also go to your baby. I suppose you don’t know this stuff, but if you want to have a child, you need to make sure that it stays healthy, even before it’s born,” I explained, and Mati put a hand to her chin thoughtfully.

“You seem to know a lot about babies,” Mati said, looking at me more appreciatively.

“Just what I have learned through many lifetimes,” I said.

Mati nodded and swam over to take my arm.

“I think I like you a bit more now, not that I didn’t before, but you really are not normal,” Mati said and kissed my cheek.

“You keep saying that,” I laughed, and she nodded.

“The other times were because you are strange, but this time is because you aren’t like other men. Let’s get going, and we can talk more at the bar,” Mati said and pulled me along with her.

I suppose I wasn’t like most men, but I was still a man. I just had a good amount of mistakes under my belt and have seen enough other people make them learn from them.

“Being normal isn’t really any fun, and it’s predictable. I never want to be predictable. I want to always keep everyone on their toes around me,” I laughed, and Mati nodded.

“If I had toes, I am sure I would be on them now!” Mati giggled as we reached the bar.

“Is there anything that I should know before we head in?” I asked as I pulled open the hatch for the Seeing Eye Bar.
