Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

I wasn't going to be able to finish if Wataluga kept this up.

"Come on, tough guy! I thought that you would be speedrunning the entire time!" Wataluga teased me, and I started to move faster, using my anger as fuel. ​​

I had started off fine; the Water Totem helped me find the easiest path for me to travel through the heavy water. Then Wataluga must have sensed that I was doing too well, and the pressure and roughness of the weather increased tenfold.

Now I could barely walk, but I was jogging now and pushing myself to my limits. I had so many things that I needed to get done; that meant that failure was not an option.

"You can do it!" I heard Kali call out from the back of my mind, and that made me smile a bit, and I pushed forward.

"You just don't know how to quit, do you?" Wataluga asked after he condensed his body back to his standard water man form.

I was panting, but I had completed the training without stopping after what had to have been two hours of running. It was now just past lunch by the sun, but I had already eaten my food on the run here; even though the sandwich had turned into a breaded meatball, I had still eaten it.

"I can't afford to quit or fail right now; I have too much to do," I said, and I went over to the water and then bent down to wash my face.

"So, what do you think, Watal? Pretty good? I think that he will take us back and maybe even help organize some of the calamity back on Gardania," Grogvel asked as he walked over to me.

"I would be an idiot to say that he doesn't show promise, and he seems quite adept when it comes to using Totems. Fine, I will lend my strength to you, but know that I will be watching and judging you!" Wataluga said, and I let go of the Wind Totem before speaking so this didn't come out wrong.

"I hope that you two aren't going to be perverts and watch me with the girls, right?" I asked, but Grogvel shook his head with a smile.

"No, we will be your guards during the night, so you don't have to worry about that. We can also act as your guards during the day if you want to enjoy that during the light. If you do that, you will not have access to our Totems or the ones connected to us during that time," Grogvel explained, and I nodded to him.

That was all I needed to hear; I didn't want to have to worry about peeping Toms. I walked up to Wataluga and was about to place my hand on his chest.

<Wait! You still had not told me about where you were when you touched Grogvel's chest!>

"Something wrong?" Wataluga asked me, and Grogvel spoke up.

"Something happened the first time that he touched my chest, but I don't know what it was," Grogvel explained, and I nodded.

"I was in space, but it was nowhere that I had ever seen, but I don't really remember that much about it other than Grogvel having a younger voice," I explained.

<Try it again, but this time make sure that you are paying attention to your surroundings if you go back there.>

I stepped forwards again, took in a deep breath, then placed my hand on Wataluga's chest.

I was back in space again, but this time with Wataluga. I immediately started to look; I needed to have something to bring back to Hero.

I noticed that there were two suns that looked very close to each other, and behind them was a massive nebulous cloud that was a rainbow of colors. There were also planets, but I was too far from them to make out anything particular about them.

"What side do you fight for?" The same young man's voice asked me, but I didn't reply this time.

I didn't know who this person was, but I didn't have any reason to answer them. I fought for what was right and what made sense, and if I couldn't make sense of it, how could I fight for it?

Then I was standing back in front of Wataluga, and he looked to be about to ask me a question as he started to glow blue. I quickly fed the information back to Hero and then waited for Wataluga to speak while Hero mulled things over.

"Kazz, The Shaman, I give you my Bond as proof of my trust that you will do good for this world. I offer you the Primal Force of Water to augment and collect all your Water Bonds. Do you accept?" Wataluga asked me, and I nodded.

"I accept your Primal Force of Water!" I shouted, and Wataluga burst with light and then poured into my chest like a swirling Maelstrom.

I felt Grogvel merge back into me, and then nothing. Just like before, I felt no different, but I reached inside myself and took hold of Wataluga with my Water Sphinx Totem.

My body took on a watery glaze, and I felt far more flexible than I had been before, but my reaction speed and my thinking didn't increase. I did feel like I could take a punch and absorb the impact, but I would have to do some more testing.

<I am not sure where you are going, but I think He is talking to you.>

I had forgotten about Hero, but the mention of the person got me curious. Who is He?

<I don't know his name, but he is the one setting everything up as far as I have been able to tell. I don't know what he wants with you, but this is the first time that we have heard from him since the last round started.>

You're talking about the game that you are playing, right? How does that even work?

<Get moving, and I will explain it in more detail on your trip to Fireden.>
