Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

Lizy felt lightheaded because of all the stress getting to her, and her body shrunk down on its own. She collapsed on the ground in front of the tiny women, but now they were only slightly smaller than her.

Suddenly, the women that weren\'t involved decided to find other things to do. All except for Nushi and Nixi, those two stayed to watch things unfold.

"Why does that Keri girl have Kieta with her?" Nixi asked, and Nushi looked through the page she was on.

"Do you know who Mati is? I guess Keri reminds her of that girl and is allowing herself to be dragged along. Hmm, this is strange," Nushi explained to Nixi but then became distracted as she started to read intently.

"You can read other people\'s minds? Can you read mine?" Nixi asked almost jokingly, but she was curious.

"You don\'t actually want to know the answer to that question, trust me," Nushi said, and then looked up at a glaring Nixi and asked, "Do you know Who Fearcania is?"

Nixi\'s glare faltered and slid off her face, replaced with a questioning look.

"How do you know that name? You were neither alive during the Arcania Uprising nor the assault as we passed Death\'s Summit, so how would you know about her? Because I know she didn\'t tell you," Nixi questioned, and Nushi finished reading the last page of Lizy\'s story.

Nushi had leveled up again when Lizy had shrunk and collapsed and was now able to read her entire life story. Before, each time Nushi tried to read her, the pages had just filled up with screams.

"My System just improved its rank, so to speak, and now I am getting all of Lizy\'s story. I can see why she has been acting this way, but I am still not sure what to do," Nushi said with frustration as she closed the book.

"What do you mean? Was her life hard here?" Nixi asked and then said, "Fearcania was a caring creature that tried to take her home back from us. She was chased off of Gardania over a hundred years ago."

"That isn\'t the creature that I read about; this one was slaughtering her children in hopes of making them stronger. Then more of her siblings were lost to Sky Drakes and then a storm," Nushi explained, and Nixi gave her a surprised expression, and Nushi nodded, continuing with the rest of what she had read.

While this happened, Kerri had let go of Kieta\'s trembling hand and scooched forward to Lizy, who was looking at her hands. Tears were silently pouring down her face, and she was astonished when the little pair of dark red hands slipped into her own.

Lizy looked up in baffled confusion, not understanding what was going on. Why was this creature apologizing to her?

The question was the only thing Lizy\'s mind could focus on, and the tears wouldn\'t stop coming for her.

"Why? I should be apologizing to you! Not the other way around!" Lizy cried, and Keri, in her infinite wisdom, replied without a second thought.

"Then why don\'t you? Pretty easy, and then we can go back to trying to build the boat! I know it\'s kind of a silly idea, but there are a lot of us here to work on it!" Keri said with a bright smile and then added, "We are friends, right? You could have eaten me lots back home in the crater but didn\'t. I was always scared of you and didn\'t really like you, but you could have eaten me and didn\'t. So, I just assumed we were friends."

Lizy was stunned by Keri\'s words and could hardly believe that anyone would be so stupid to believe her words or accept them. Yet, Lizy tried to tell herself that it couldn\'t hurt to maybe try; a creature that wasn\'t a threat to her had never called her a friend before.

"Umm, sorry for the way that I treated you this morning and any other time," Lizy said quietly and then squealed as Keri let go of her hands and hugged her, rubbing her face into Lizy\'s cleavage.

Behind them, Jilly turned around, walking off by herself. She was confused by the events unfolding in front of her, but Nushi chased after her.

She knew that Jilly was perplexed about what was going on and wanted to talk to her.

There was a chance that she might be able to help fix things between the girls, so Nushi wanted to try since she was the only one who really understood. Lizy\'s mind had been poisoned by her mother\'s words, and a string of unfortunate events caused Lizy to force Jilly out of her life.

"Jilly! Wait!" Nushi called as she tried to catch up with the giant Oomukade heading to the east side of the beach.

Jilly slowed and then stopped to wait but didn\'t turn around. Her head and heart were in strange places right now after watching Keri with Lizy.

She had known there was something wrong, but she had just assumed it was Lizy just being the same person she had grown to hate. There was a time when she had been different, but that had been all a lie, so it was hard for Jilly to see Lizy in a different light.

The girls were mostly out of earshot, and Nushi jogged over to stand in front of Jilly.

"I know that you are confused, but there is more to Lizy than the lying monster that you think she is," Nushi said, and her eyes went big.

Nushi was not big on sharing the fact that she could read the minds of others, but Jilly was her friend, and this was important.

"Yes, I can not only read your mind and actions with my book, but I can see the events in my head. Give her a chance. You should also know that she feels threatened by you because all of her surviving siblings were killed by her sister that she had called a friend. There is much more to Lizy, but it doesn\'t matter; just try to give her a chance," Nushi explained in a rush, and Jilly turned to look at Keri and Lizy.
