Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

Chapter 82 - Eek, A Taste Of Sphinx!



I turned around and then ran back down the stairs and outside, turning to the left and heading to my place sprinting, but stopped when I saw a strange-looking woman holding a vicious-looking sword.

"Hey! Yes, you! There isn\'t anyone else out here!" The woman said to me with a growl. ​​

She was short and had teal skin but darker than Mary\'s, and she had what I would consider being Egyptian features. The sword she was carrying was a scimitar, but the blade was jagged like a saw.

"What would you like? Keita? Is that your name? You\'re the Mad scientist with all the failed creations, right?" I asked, and then she threw the swords at me.

Instantly, without warning, my Totem Mark started to glow, and time slowed, and I watched the jagged scimitar fly at me. It was very elegantly crafted for all of the Jigsaw vibes it was throwing off, but I really hoped that Jilly wasn\'t mad and me for taking so long.

The blade still hadn\'t reached me yet, and I was starting to get worried about the way that I had to leave Mary this morning and the way she had acted towards me. There was also making sure that I spent the night with the Cerberus girls tonight, and I needed to deal with Lidy.

Then I caught the swords, and the world stepped back into place, and I used my free hand to clutch my head. Holy shit, If that blade would have taken any longer, I was about to cross into a place that I didn\'t want to go to and that I had been ignoring.

"Smart-ass! Yes, I am Kieta, the Failed Sphinxlin, that is always left with more questions than answers!" The woman yelled at me and was about to storm off, but I stopped her.

"Wait, sorry, I didn\'t mean it like that. I am sure that it isn\'t easy to craft a magical weapon; I was just making sure that you were the right person. I can be a bit of a bonehead sometimes, and I have a lot on my mind right now, so sorry. This is a very nice sword though; I don\'t know much about them, but I can tell that the balance is perfect, and it is a nice weight," I comment, and the woman walked over to me and put out her hand, and I handed her the sword, but Keita would take it.

"Take care of me! I have heard from Nushi that you told her that you would take care of her, and now she has special abilities from that! I need that! Tell me what you want… and… I will try to give it to you… But nothing perverted! I am not some sex-crazed demon, nor do I want to make any babies. The world doesn\'t need any more Demons!" Kieta declared to me, and I dropped the sword in shock.

"Woah, hold on, did you not just hear that I said I had too many things going on right now? I am already taking care of quite a few girls, and I have more on my list!" I said, putting my hands to my head, rubbing my temples.

"I never said that it had to be right now, but I hope you can think about it. The Master takes care of a lot more people than you do, and it seems to work just fine for him," Keita explained, and I let out a long sigh; she had a point.

"Okay, I will think about it, but I will have to get back to you either tomorrow or the next day. Does that work for you?" I asked, and Keita just shrugged.

"Not like I can say no, you hold the power here. I will just have to wait patiently as I continue to be unsuccessful and will probably be thrown out of the Master\'s Keep for being useless!" Kieta said dramatically, and I rolled my eyes and then shook my head with a smile.

"I might believe that If I didn\'t know Mex as well as I do, but there is no way that Mex would kick you out," I said, but Kieta glared up at me.

"Yes, he would! He threatens me all the time!" Kieta retorted.

"Yes, it\'s true, I do! Now get back to work and create something magical, you wretch!" Mex said from behind me and then walked up beside me with a light-lipped face that I knew was holding back a smile.

"SEE! He is always threatening me to produce something, or I\'m gonna get the boot!" Kieta complained but then ran away, squealing like a child as Mex chased her, making roaring noises.

What the fuck was I watching right now? Was this really happening, but the better question was how the hell she could believe him when he was clearly joking?

"She is a good person, but she needs a push, or she will just fall into a slump. She is very book smart, but her emotional intelligence is that of a young child\'s, so she is very gullible," Mex said from behind me, and I wanted to hit him so badly, but then Mex tapped my shoulder. "You had better train more Water Boy before you try that, but I can understand why you might want to."

"I bet you can; Nixi must always do it to you, right? Well, I don\'t care, stop doing it, or I will be taking care of Candice, and you can take care of your wife!" I said, turning on Mex, and he narrowed his eyes at me.

"Those are fighting words, boy," Mex said with a low voice, but I glared at him.

"Then stop being a jackass and appear in front of me. You aren\'t fooling me, just annoying, and besides, right now, I think that I have been pretty nice and helpful, so I think we should be on more respectful terms. I don\'t think we are equals, but I don\'t want to be just another person that you sneak up on to annoy, alright?" I said, feeling in a bit of a huff after using the Sphinx Water Totem.

That ability has caused me to think about all my problems. The things plaguing me and other things I had forgotten about were way too in-depth, and now I would have to train like that.

Mex was looking at me and then nodded.

"Yes, you\'re right, and we aren\'t the same. So, let\'s make a deal, I will pretend to be the Demon Lord, and you can be the real one?" Mex asked and slapped my hand to my forehead, but he wasn\'t finished. "I only have one request, Leave Candice out of your, umm list of girls; she is mine. If you want to have a taste of Sphinx, I can talk to Veronica, but I don\'t think that one would take much convincing. By the way, good work on making peace with the girls and bringing all three back!"
