Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

"Are you trying to tell me that it would be better? Stuck inside a box at the bottom of the ocean? That sounds worse!" Chey complained, and I rolled my eyes, but then Howl spoke up.

"Are you, the great hunter Chey? Or are you his sister?" Howl growled.

"To be honest, I think that his sister would have probably not had a problem with it!" I said, and both Howl and I started to laugh, but his was more of a choking bark.

"Fine! I will come with you, but the two of you had better not tell anyone or bother me about this!" Chey ordered the two of us.

I saluted him, and Howl did his best to mimic me. He only got a front paw up to his ear, but the wolf made a valiant effort.

I confirmed that I would take Chey as my warden, and the centaur flashed with light. His body shrank down, but something strange happened to his face.

"What the heck is going on?!" Chey asked from a horse\'s mouth.

Chey had lost his horse body to have an average human one, but his horse aspect had all gone to his head. Chey was now a horse from the shoulders up rather than the waist down.

I looked over to find my massive blue wolf on the ground barking out his choking laughter. If I didn\'t know any better, I would have thought that he had started to choke on something.

"There is nothing funny about this, you oversized blue carpet!" Chey shouted at the growling wolf.

"Calm down; you can shift back to your monstrous form! You just have to concentrate on it," I explained, but Chey just tossed his arms in the air in frustration.

"My monstrous form?! What do you call this?! I was a handsome-looking centaur! Now I look like some freak! What is the point of this?!" Chey complained, but then his body shifted, returning to his previous form.

"For one thing, you aren\'t nearly as tall as you are in this from. You will be able to fit into places that you normally can\'t because of your height, and you will need this change to go where I do. I don\'t think it is that bad, and if we put some clothes on, you will look good!" I explained with a smile, but Chey rolled his eyes.

Howl was still on the ground, so I turned to the wolf. Howl decided to get off the ground, seeing me turn, but now he was covered in dirt and other debris.

Then he shook himself off, and both Chey and I were blasted with debris and long hair. Great, the fucking wolf shed, this would be just splendid.

"Do you mind?" I asked the wolf after he had finished.

"Sorry," Howl growled.

"So, are you going to follow me across the world?" I asked Howl, but I had already confirmed that I wanted him for a partner.

The wolf nodded and then flashed with his own light. Just like Chey, Howl started to shrink down, but he got much smaller than a human.

The wolf\'s body didn\'t change that much, but he kept getting smaller. When Howl was the size of a small dog, he stopped shrinking.

Both Chey and I stared in shock, but not as much as Howl. He was frozen in utter confusion.

"What is the meaning of this?!" Howl squeaked but then jumped back at the sound of his voice.

Chey started laughing so hard that he shifted back into his horse-man form. Despite Howl\'s shock at his size, the pup started a squeaking laugh at Chey.

[Howl will be stuck like that for a while. He will be your partner for this world from this point on, and he will grow with you. This will be different from the girls, but similar in some way.] Harold explained in the back of my head.

"All right, you two! Enough laughing, we have to get out of here and go deal with that freak! Then we can get out of these rings!" I told my two friends, but Howl called up to me after I finished.

"Hey! Why can\'t I change back like the horse?" Howl squeaked in panic.

I figured he would freak out about this, but there was nothing to do about it right now. I squatted down to the blue wolf pup and gave him an understanding smile.

"Sorry, bud, but you will get bigger as I get stronger. For now, you are just going to have to deal with this, but I don\'t think you are weak. You should be nearly as strong as me even at this size," I explained with a grin while stroking the wolf pup\'s head.

"Fine, but they\'re better not be people telling me how cute and small I am! I am a proud wolf!" Howl growled at me, and I almost burst out laughing.

"That, I can\'t promise. I think you will be lucky if the girls ever let me see you!" I joked, and Howl\'s ears drooped.

"Maybe it\'s better if I just stay here…" Howl squeaked in a defeated tone like Chey had before.

I was about to say something, but Chey was the one that piped up.

"Oh, I see! This is what really scares the little wolf! Ha! The great blue wolf is scared of some girls! Ha!" Chey laughed out his horse mouth, and that made the little wolf whirl around.

"Shut up, your flapping lips; you are walking circus!" Howl barked up.

"What did you say to me, you oversized blue rat?!" Chey retorted.

While I would have loved to watch them go at it all day, I had other more important things to take care of.

"Boys! Can it! Chey, open the damn door out of here, and Howl, keep up!" I ordered the two, and they both shut up.

It was finally time to get back to that bastard with the split personalities. I was going to end this and then get the rest of the things I needed to before leaving this island!
