Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

Chapter 144 - Bonding Type, Getting Off Track



I nodded for either of them to explain, and Mex was the one that answered, and Nixi gave an eye roll that said, just watch, this is going to be rich. While Nixi was stronger and older, she was not a Demon Lord, and Mex was, but I understood why she was rolling her eyes.

"There are other Demons there, but they are all beholden to Neft using his powers as a Demon Lord. I had them before but never used them, and once you kill Dao, you will have access to them. They aren\'t really a Demon thing, more like your Ranching ability, but far more limited in most ways. What it can do is assert control once you are bound with the people," Mex explained, but I was confused.

"Sorry, but you all don\'t really seem like the bonding type," I joked with a grin, and Mex laughed back.

"You aren\'t wrong, and I say this for you because you aren\'t the only person I have trusted, but you are the first person that Nixi has. The heroes come, take power, make a mess, and then leave without fulfilling the bargain, and my Demon Lord powers come back to me," Mex said as he shook his head.

"That\'s because you are a pushover, and you let them walk over you!" Nixi complained, but I was starting to get a feeling for this world, and I knew that it wasn\'t that easy.

This had to be something like a starting area, but were there any other places like this?

[No, this place is the unique entrance to this world.]

"I don\'t think that it is just that Mex is friendly, good-natured, and for the most part a weird but respectable person. I don\'t think that is any place that we so-called heroes come out from in any other spot in this world. Let him finish," I told Nixi, and she muttered but left it alone and crossed her arms.

"For demons, we force the control by using our mind-piercing stares to see weaker thoughts, and we can plant allegiance in there, but I choose not to," Mex said once she quieted, but then threw up his hands as Nixi burst out in a cackle.

I looked over at Nixi, and when she noticed I was giving her a pointed look, she stopped and collected herself. I couldn\'t be too hard on her, she was trying, and she could be a lot meaner instead of just rude.

"Sorry, it\'s just funny, that\'s all. I know we are trying to change, but you were right when you said that others would laugh at us when we talked about it! I am laughing about it as you two talk about not using people or the mighty powers of domination! We were born with this power to be able to become great if we could push hard enough!" Nixi almost shouted as her body started to swell in her excitement.

This is what I was trying to get through to them, but it wasn\'t going to be easy. You don\'t need to control people to get them to follow you; you need to give them a reason to want to.

I must have let my face give off some of my determination because Nixi\'s smile fell into a scowl.

"Look, I get it, but what is the point about going back and forth with what we already know? What if I constantly complain about how much I don\'t like hearing you complain whenever you talk about the rest of the Demons laughing at us? And then Mex will ask you the same thing; what then? Let\'s all get in on the Wine and Cheese party," I said, rolling my eyes and waving my free hand that was now empty of meat in the air, and Nixi grabbed her black hair in her hands.

"I understand what we are trying to do, but the others will! None of the Demons from the mainland will listen to a man that arrives in a single vessel! We are going to be lucky if we can even make it out of the port without being picked up by a Demon Lord!" Nixi growled as she explained herself, and I grabbed another handful of small meat chunks.

This was getting off-topic, but I was not going to be some lackey or follow anyone. I was my own person, and if others wanted to follow me, they could.

"Don\'t worry about me or us. I will be taking care of us, and we will all get a lot stronger before we ever step foot on Gardania. Now, what kind of Keep or Castle does Neft have, and what do I need to watch out for?" I asked, trying to get us back on track.

"His Keep is in the center of a walled town, and there are a lot of demons there, but you can just exert your… Presence… yeah, that should keep them from bothering you, hehe. Neft will have lots of guards patrolling, but he has to control them all. While he is actually quite skilled at it, he can\'t see through all eyes," Mex told me, and I nodded with a sigh.

This is going to be one hell of a shit show. I was going to have to wade through the Demon orgy, but Mex was right about it being a good distraction, so I motioned for him to continue.

"The disruption that you will cause should make it easy enough to slip through the town. The inside of the Keep is much bigger and more like a castle than mine, but it will be filled with female Demons. Do not mess around with them; they are not normal Demons; they are Succubus, and if you have sex with one of them, they will drain your lifeforce away. The rest of the Demon women are fine if you get too frisky because it is going to be one wild show there!" Mex explained with a chuckle, and I rolled my eyes.
