Chapter 14: Monster Nanny, Three More Cute Mouths To Feed
I dropped off the girls on the rock I had been sitting on before to cook the meat. It wasn't cold, but the girls had been shivering, so I figured this would be the best spot for her while I cut more meat up.
"Are we going to cook her alive, Or do you want me to kill her?" Jilly asked me as two large twenty-centimeter golden curved blades shot out from under her hair.
Bera and Cera were both burying their faces in my chest as they grabbed at me in fear, and I couldn't really blame them. Only Riez had the balls to look Jilly in the eyes and her face blades.
"Stop it! I am taking care of her, and you will go find something to do while I get this meat ready, or I'll…." I trailed off as I looked up at the sword face. "Just leave the girls alone. They have already been through enough, and I am going to get more meat to cook. Please go find some more…."

I hope that I was the only one that found this system degrading, but I guess she was a dog at heart, and I had to admit that it was a pretty cool System. The problem with it was that they had to have the items thrown, and they didn't have combat System abilities, but they did have their magic.
"Fine, she is part of the messed up a little group of females you are gathering. I won't eat her, but I am still undecided about you, so, chop-chop!" Jilly said while shaking a branch at me.
"Are you gettingsss more meatsss?" Mary hissed softly by my ear, making the hairs of my entire body stand up with the goosebumps right behind to give extra credence to the hair-raising effectiveness of her voice.
"Yes, my cute little snake, we are going to get some more meatsss," I said with a hiss, but then Mary bit my neck roughly, make me shout and almost fall over.
"I don't… mean… to hiss!" Mary said after biting me, but then she started to lick me, and the pressure mark stings from her teeth.
"Sorry, you're right, that was rude of me," I said as we walked over to the dead Troll that was not smelling any better, and now there were weird flies that looked more like armored beetles.
As I used the Loose Leaf Dagger to skin and cut the meat off the other leg and rump, I watched the beetles. Usually, I would be grossed out by them, I hated all bugs equally, but these ones were bizarre and seemed intelligent.
I watched as one of the winged beetles took out a tiny rock that looked sharp and then started to scrape the meat off the bone. Bugs using tools, very strange, but what was weird was none of them were eating it.
I was lucky that the Loose Leaf Dagger did ninety-nine percent of the work, or I would have cut my hand off three or four times over. Mary was licking me again, and I was starting to feel more like I was just a salt block to her as I watched the bugs work, but I didn't mind.
After the Loose Leaf Dagger was finished prepping and tenderizing the meat, I carried all the cut steaks with my blind and drooling snake. Mary was staring at the steaks and leaking saliva out, and I still couldn't figure out how she always knew where to look or grab.
Jilly laid out new saplings that she had trimmed herself and was now laying them across the fire like I had before. The sticks weren't great to cook on, and you have to turn them. The only problem was that I had to fend off three hungry animals instead of two this time, and there was more food.
"Isss it donesss yet?" Mary hissed with excitement as I placed the last steak, barely able to get my hand to block a snake tongue from my ear.
"What are you doing to the meat? Why can't we just eat it?" Red-haired Cera asked with a bit of a whiny tone.
"It smells good," Blue haired Bera whispered.
"Have a little patience; he is burning the burn, so it tastes better, I would assume. Can you not already smell how much better the meat smelt when our Master brought it over," Riez said, turning her head to look directly at me, her long pretty green hair.
So, Cera got all the raw and hot emotions, fitting. Then Bera seemed to be quiet, calm, but emotionally built like a house of cards.
Out of the three, Riez seemed to be the more level-headed and somewhat normal, if overly formal. The whole master thing just was not going to work for me, though.
