YM778.TV Chapter 6 - Kazz, The Had
"So, we just keep going this way… we turn here, then we just have to go this way for… I think we turn here," Mary told me as she dragged me into a big circle around the inside of the cannon area we were in.
Never once did she try to make a left turn to leave the canyon, and she looked so cute wandering around that I let her do two laps before stopping her. As adorable as Mary looked, wandering around, we were literally going nowhere, and it was getting hot out.
"Mary, are you sure you know where you are going? I don\'t mean to sound like a drag, but we have been walking circles," I said to her as I pulled her to a stop.
I could smell the thickening blood, and flies were starting to gather around the monster I had killed. I wanted to get out of here before the smashed head started to stink, and the smell of blood should attract other monsters, I think.
I wasn\'t sure how to take this world with Mary\'s revelation that not all the monsters in the world were terrible, but instead, they like humans. If that was the case, then I would have to look at each monster case by case, which would make my rise to the top that much more difficult.
"Umm, I think I might be lost," Mary said while blushing.
She was also twirling one of her snakes with her finger and starting to get a bit rough with it. I had to grab her hand to stop her before she actually hurt the poor thing.
She was strangling the poor thing, but I kept her fidgeting hands busy, holding mine. I found it weird that she didn\'t know what she was doing, but maybe she was really frazzled right now.
She looked embarrassed, and I racked my brain on what to do. Mary was blind, and she had no sense of direction, so I hadn\'t expected much at first, but if she wasn\'t guiding me, I didn\'t want to go slow.
I started to get hungry now even more, and I was sorely tempted to cut one of the rock man\'s legs off. I had almost everything that I would need, but the thought of him having a face did put me off; new world or not, it would be weird.
"Okay, that\'s okay, but I don\'t want to leave you here alone, and I want to move faster. So, two questions, first Can we eat that rock-man thing that I killed? It had a big rock shell and was pretty tall," I explained to Mary as she was slowly inching herself closer to me.
"No, they taste awful and will give you a stomach ache, and then you just end up puking up anyways," Mary said with a disgusted look that screamed with familiarity, but that made sense, she would have to eat what she could get, but that made another question push its way out.
"Did you eat it raw, or did you cook it?" I asked her, and her disgusted look turned to one of befuddled confusion.
"K-ook, what is this? You can do something else with the meat?" Mary asked, somehow grabbing my hands again as she did.
I was starting to think this whole blindness thing was pretty suspect, but the circles we had traveled in and the embarrassment Mary had show said it was real. Who knew or cared at this point, but their not being cooking in this world was beyond strange.
It could just be said in a different word, and maybe there were a bunch of words that don\'t line up. That, or Mary\'s blind ass had just never seen it happen because of the obvious.
Then again, this was a world filled with monsters that had no problem eating each other. So, it could just be that there has been no need for cooking, or only a select few races had the ability.
"Have you ever put the meat over a fire before? And then try to eat it?" I asked and was pretty shocked when Mary reeled back, hissing at me.
For a whole entire fraction of a moment, I saw what kind of true terror she could have been if she had been born with sight. Mary\'s snakes wreathed her head, and all pointed their sightless eyes on me, and Mary scolded me in a deadly voice.
"Suu doesssn\'t burnsss the meatsss!" Mary hissed at me, and that was the end to her menace.
She was adorable when she got all riled up, and her hiss lisp came out, but I could tell she was upset. Thankfully I didn\'t need to hide my gaping grin, but I tried to explain myself to get her to calm her swaying tits down, no matter how much I liked watching them.
"I don\'t burn it, I make it taste better, and it makes it easier to chew. Plus, you can get rid of the stuff that makes you sick by cooking it long enough," I explained to Mary, and she slowly lowered herself back down in front of me.
"You can make the stinky meat so we can eatsss it?" Mary asked, letting a cute excite his escape.
I was no chef, and no, I did not plan on teaching the monster world how to cook, but it wasn\'t hard to barbecue a steak. I nodded to Mary but then smacked my forehead with the palm of my hand and spoke up.
"Yes, but I don\'t have anything to use for fuel to make a fire, we need some dry wood, but I haven\'t seen anything since I got here. Maybe there might be something up top, but I don\'t have the skills to free climb a wall that tall," I explained to Mary, and she looked disappointed, but then I froze.
I heard multiple slow clicks coming up from behind me, and my skin started to crawl all over my body. I slowly turned around to find Jilly, The Oomukade moving towards me slowly.
"I might be able to help, but it will cost you! Also, hello my little Mary, has this man been doing inappropriate things to you without me present!" Jilly said accusingly to me with triumph, but I could tell that she was a bit winded.
"Aunty Jilly! Thank goodness you are here! I got lost, well, I got both of us lost," Mary said in a whiny voice different than she hadn\'t used before, and now she was pushing past me to go to the Giant Centipede woman.
Oh, this was just great; of course, the looney tunes would come as a pair. What next? Wait! I was just kidding! I don\'t want to know what Next is, I pleaded with an unnamed god that probably didn\'t exist.
Someone was laughing.
