A World of Monster Girls

Chapter Fourteen

Well, after that whole finger-sucking thing is over, I asked the girl for help. The problem is, well...

"Umm..." The girl uttered as she averted her gaze from mine, "There's... nothing you can do about it."

...Pardon?

"I'm sorry, I think I misheard you. Can you repeat that, please?"

Somehow, a few beads of sweat appeared on the girl's forehead, and slowly, and clumsily, she muttered; "T-There's... nothing you can d-do about the s-spatial w-warp."

...

Well, isn't that just great?

With a small smile on my face, I opened my mouth; "So," I said in a calm, reasonable, and somehow chilly tone, the kind of tone that if done properly could drive people absolutely batshit scared. "You're telling me that I spared you, and let you pretty much molest my finger, and all of that was for nothing?"

"U-Uh..."

"W-Woof...?"

With a small smile on my face, I reached for my gun and brought it out. You know, the gun is looking mighty beautiful right now.

"W-Wait!" She immediately put her hands in front of her face, "L-Listen! I-I might not be able to disrupt the spell, b-but! I-I can help you use your magical energy!"

"Elaborate."

"R-Remember when I said Demon Hunters could fight d-demons physically? W-Well, I-I can teach you how to use that! T-Then, you can use normal weapons, or e-even your fists against d-demons!"

Well, why didn't you just say so? I holstered my gun and gave the girl a soft smile. Not sure why, but she's scared shitless for some reason.

"Ryu."

"...?"

"The name's Ryu."

"Oh, uh, my name is... Alura."

I nodded at her name, at least the name is somewhat normal, unlike Zero. Speaking of which, the next time I sleep, I should probably ask her about this weird voice in my head.

...

Umm, isn't this a bit awkward? None of us were muttering a word. Eve just looked at me like she usually does, while Alura kept averting her eyes.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" I said, "How do I activate this magic stuff?"

"Oh, right, um..." It seems she was still a bit nervous, "We need to go to a better place. Follow me, one of these rooms should do."

---

Umm...

"What is exactly going on...?"

After we entered one of the rooms, I noticed that it was a safe room, you know, like the one in the previous floor. It had a bed, bookshelves, a small kitchen, everything. Of course, it was originally messy, but Alura, perhaps with the newfound energy that she sucked out of me, managed to instantly clean it via her vines

Something of note, I now know how those vines work. Alura herself had a few vines on her back that seemed alive, and, when she wants to summon larger ones, she just plunges the small ones into the ground, and ta-da! They also somehow enlarge in size.

Something else of note, is that they are kind of intangible? When they want to appear from the ground, a small magical seal appears so that the ground itself wouldn't be damaged.

It was interesting, to say the least.

Still, that's not important, what is important is what the hell is she doing. Immediately after cleaning the room, she made a bathtub that was made out of vines, and then, she poured a huge amount of water from the kitchen sink. And, that's the part that worries me the most, she went into the freezer and brought a huge amount of ice, and threw it into the bathtub.
