Monster Hunter Monster Girl Story

0040 Sister with Broken Tail

"Lone Wolf, let me cover your escape."

Faced with Yang Kuku's suggestion, Lone Wolf smiled and shook his head: "It's most dangerous for you to follow me right now... Although that human is indeed very kind to you, you can't get too close."

"But the way you look..."

The lone wolf spread its wings and claws with ease: "I'm fine, but many fire dragons are heading this way, so I have to go."

"Until we meet again!"

Until we meet again.

The lone wolf walked into the jungle with an upright posture, but soon its posture slumped and it began to stagger, leaning on tree trunks to move forward.

The sharp claws transformed into hands, which grabbed a branch with herbal leaves from the bushes, squeezed out the juice, and then smeared it on the bleeding carapace fragments.

While closing my eyes and enduring the pain and gasping for breath, I suddenly heard the sound of leaves rustling, and immediately opened my eyes.

He happened to make eye contact with Li Ai, who was peeking out from the bushes in front of him.

"Uh...it's really restricting your movement if you keep your hand over it, so why don't you use this to hold it in place?"

After Li Ai finished speaking, she threw out the remaining half roll of bandage, then showed off her bandaged arm to demonstrate the effect.

The lone wolf didn't pick up the bandages, but instead squinted: "You've been spying on us all this time?"

"If we're talking about spying, you were the one who started it, weren't you?"

Li Ai had always felt that someone was secretly observing her, and now she has finally found the source.

"That was..."

Lone Wolf thought it was just a coincidence, but anyone who knows a little about Senqiu knows that black wolf birds cannot appear during the breeding season.

"I was worried about Yang Kuku, so I did that to make sure she was really doing well, since she only ever talks about the positive side of everything."

After speaking calmly, Lone Wolf picked up the bandage.

"I thought you were going to threaten me, saying that if anything happened to Yangkuku, you would kill me or something like that."

Li Ai hadn't expected that Lone Wolf seemed to be quite reasonable.

"You really do know monster girls well, I really wanted to say that, but I can't even stay by her side right now, so I have no right to ask you to."

"Uh...why are you tying your hands together?"

"I...I don't know how to use this."

Li Ai approached, and Lone Wolf looked very resistant, but he still accepted her help.

Apply herbs, then wrap bandages tightly around the bleeding crack in the carapace, layer by layer.

"Alright, let's not change the form any further in the short term."

"Thanks!"

"Thank you for putting me in such a difficult position. It's fine if I don't say anything."

Li Ai then retreated a short distance.

"Regarding the lady you mentioned, could you tell me why she wanted you to follow her?"

Taking advantage of the relatively pleasant atmosphere, Li Ai asked a question.

Even if a monster is powerful, it will only cause abnormal weather or ecological disasters.

Making other monster girls follow him is hardly the behavior of a normal monster.

"That master believes that monsters with severe injuries or special experiences can unleash deeper talents... The less you know, the better. Until we meet again!"

The lone wolf ended the conversation and ran quickly into the forest.

"So she was after the one-eared black wolf bird's mutilated and injured condition... but I still can't understand her actions."

After Li Ai arrived at Yang Kuku's side and bandaged the wound on its paw, she heard some shocking news.

"You said Sister Broken Tail turned into a monster girl!"

Li Ai now understood why Lone Wolf had said he was a professional and needed her to handle the situation.

"Yes, but it looks like he's about to die."

"this..."

Li Ai looked incredulous, because a total of 13 negative hearts in favorability rating seemed completely unrelated to achieving the goal of turning her into a female character.

"Is this a monster anthropomorphized on its own?"

The tailless sister's combat performance was indeed formidable. She fought continuously in the forest hills for several days, and even when she was on the verge of death, she could still inflict considerable damage on the Twin Birds combination.

If we can recruit them, they will undoubtedly become the most powerful and top-tier allies currently available.

However, judging from the various abnormal behaviors of the monster, even after becoming a monster girl, Li Ai felt that they were destined to be unable to get along normally.

This is already evident in their level of self-esteem.

"Seeing how troubled you are, I'll go and kill her."

Yangkuku jumped up, stretched its wings and claws, and looked ready to attack.

"Hmm... wait a minute, it's actually quite rare to find a monster girl who hates me so much."

After talking with Lone Wolf, Li Ai gained some additional insights.

That means even with a negative 7-heart favorability rating, the other person can still communicate normally and does not show strong hostility.

This might be related to Yang Kuku, but it at least proves that excessive negative affection doesn't necessarily mean a fight to the death.

Moreover, it may also contain the lone wolf's loathing for humans.

Yang Kuku was in front, and Li Ai was behind. Soon, a figure lying on the ground appeared on the grass in the forest.

Li Ai first circled around and observed from a distance.

The color of the carapace covering the body of the Broken-Tailed Lady is darker than that of the Little Dumb Egg, approaching a dark green.

Her green hair only reached her collarbone; it wasn't as long as the little fool's hair, which reached her waist.

Besides being taller and larger, it was also more voluptuous, with its two claws extending past the tops of its armored boots, where a ring of flesh bulged out from its thighs.

The tail hammer, with half of it cut off, was not repaired just because the lone wolf had large areas of broken ear-shaped keratin.

Seeing the blood still seeping out from under her body, Li Ai pondered for a moment.

Li Ai approached the woman with the broken tail, threw two tranquilizer balls at the ground, then found a vine net to wrap around her and bind her, before lifting her off the ground.

She tilted her head back, her hair whipping backward, revealing a cold, beautiful face stained with blood.

Sister Duanwei slowly opened her eyes, her vertical pupils through her yellow sclera looking at Li Ai, who had lifted her up, her gaze slightly dazed.

After being placed under the tree, Li Ai bandaged and stopped the bleeding from the largest tear in her waist and abdomen.

Then they found even thicker vines and tied them to the base of the tree.

Then he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to record and organize information about Sister Broken Tail.

"The bandage on your arm is bleeding."

Yang Kuku reminded him.

"It's probably because of too many activities. Let's just hang in there for now."

After Li Ai finished speaking, she lit a cigarette and chewed two pieces of gum.

"You seem even less afraid of pain than a lone wolf."

"I have experienced pain and redemption coming together, and my body's perception of pain is different from others."

"What a strange experience... Why do you seem especially serious this time?"

Yang Kuku was curious as he watched Li Ai's focused expression.

"Because I'm not very good at seducing mature, older-sister-type monster girls, I can only try my best to be fully prepared."

"Huh? Is it possible for someone like Broken Tail to become a partner?"

Yang Kuku found it unbelievable.

"The chances are slim, but if we kill them, it will not only be bad for the future breeding season, but I don't know what to do about it."

Because executing monster girls who refused to be subdued was too dark and didn't fit the overall heartwarming style of Monster Girl Story, Li Ai only made the setting of releasing them.

But this isn't the Monogatari series, where you can release a Deviljho with a few words.

"What is a mature, older sister-type monster girl?"

Sheep Kuku couldn't understand Li Ai's situation, but she was still very interested in the monster girl type.

"It just means you look more mature. For example, Broken Tail is a mature-looking monster girl, Lone Wolf is a bit far from being a mature woman, and you are very far from being one."

"A mature, older woman is better, right?"

"No, each has its advantages. Just be yourself. However, for a love hunter, the way to win over a partner will be significantly different."

"I see..."

Yang Kuku nodded, seemingly understanding, "So our coordinated performance with the little idiot doesn't work on Sister Broken Tail, right?"

"Yes, it's even possible that the other person will feel like they're playing with her..."

Li Ai's face showed helplessness as she spoke.

After all, what kind of scenes hasn't the Broken Tail Sister seen in Mori-oka? And with her favorability rating at rock bottom, the difficulty level is off the charts.

But the next moment, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he suddenly laughed.

"Hmph, but if we succeed, not only will we have a super strong partner, but I'll also know how to deal with similar monster girls in the future."

Before long, Li Ai found the stew pot and started a fire to boil water.

Smelling the aroma of brewed Kangshifu beef noodles, the bound Sister Duanwei sniffed and suddenly opened her eyes.

Finding herself bound and tied to the tree, she realized she was in danger, but due to her weakness and injuries, she was powerless to break free.

With a quick glance, she locked onto Li Ai, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground in the distance.

Sister Broken Tail continued to inhale deeply, a wisp of black smoke escaping from her mouth, but when she looked down and exhaled towards herself, only a cloud of gray smoke appeared.

"Ahem!"

The smoke was inhaled back into the body, triggering a violent coughing fit.

The trembling from coughing caused the wound in her abdomen to tear open again, and an expression of extreme pain immediately appeared on Sister Broken Tail's face.

Li Ai, who had hidden in the jungle, saw that she couldn't spit out fireballs, so she came out of the bushes and continued to brew instant noodles.

"You can't break free, don't waste your energy."

Li Ai stirred the flour in the bucket with a plastic fork, then unfolded it into three folds and placed the lid on top.

"Hmph, damn male, all he knows is such despicable tactics."

After finishing her sentence, Sister Duanwei turned her head to the side, seemingly not even wanting to see Li Ai.

"male..."

Despite Li Ai's extensive preparations, he never expected that Sister Duanwei would address him in such a way.

"Alright, just don't change form, or the wound will burst open again and no one will be able to save you."

Picking up the three-fold dough sheet, Li Ai immediately added a sentence to the intelligence report: "Sister Broken Tail's tendency to hate has transcended species limitations."

Although Sister Broken Tail looked disgusted, her body behaved itself and she didn't risk her life to try to transform.

But they completely disregarded the aroma of the instant noodles.

Unable to find a suitable angle, Li Ai could only continue eating his noodles with his head down, since he was indeed hungry.

Seeing that the attention was not on her, Sister Broken Tail began to shift her body from side to side and turned her head to look behind her.

After realizing that this was not an attempt to break free, Li Ai let the other person try.

Only when the pain became too severe and she could no longer bear it did Sister Broken Tail lower her head.

Drops of glistening dragon tears fell onto her plump thighs.

"No need to look anymore, she hasn't returned to her original state just because she became a monster girl."

Li Ai knew the other party wanted to know about the tail's condition, so she directly stated the result.

Sister Broken Tail was taken aback, then quickly shook her head in denial: "I don't believe you! You're lying to me!"

Tears flowed even more profusely, and then she threw her head back and wailed loudly.

"Don't cry, I'll untie your tail and show you, but you have to promise that you absolutely won't take the opportunity to flick your tail and release poison."

"Okay~ I knew it a long time ago, you're different from the other males."

Suddenly, Sister Duanwei stopped crying, and her voice even carried a hint of coquetry.

"Good eye."

As Li Ai spoke, she walked towards the tree.

"Li Ai! Don't trust Sister Broken Tail so easily."

The sheep, Kuku, cried out anxiously from the side.

Upon hearing the title "Sister with Broken Tail," Sister's gentle gaze suddenly flashed with coldness, her face turned grim, and the tips of her wing claws, due to excessive gripping, pierced into the flesh of her palm.

The dragon's clenched teeth made a creaking sound, clearly indicating that it was so bothered by the name that it was going crazy.

"It's alright, Yangkuku. And don't use that name anymore, call her Cuicui now."

Seeing that Li Ai was still approaching, Cui Cui closed her eyes, took a breath, and forced herself to calm down. When she opened her eyes again, she was all smiles again.

"Cui Cui, would you like to look from the left or the right?"

"The right side is fine."

"I've solved it."

As Li Ai spoke, she went to the side and began to pull on the vines.

The moment the dragon's tail came loose and fell, it lashed out even before it touched the ground.

bang~

A muffled thud was heard, and Cui Cui, relying on her sense of touch, discovered that not only was her tail whipping attack blocked, but the venom also failed to splash out, as it was all trapped at the tail.

"See, that's where you went wrong."

After Li Ai finished speaking, she picked up the rattan cane and nested it around the tail that was pressed against the surface of the shield, intending to bind it again.

Unusually, Cui Cui did not struggle violently; instead, her tail drooped limply downwards.

"Damn male, he's really cunning... You win, kill me now."

Cui Cui lowered her head, completely giving up on resisting.

"This extreme depression doesn't seem like acting. Is this the monster girl that an abnormal individual has turned into...?"

Li Ai muttered to himself and tried to remove the shield; the tail drooped limply to the ground.

"I went to all that trouble to bandage your wounds and save you, not so that I could humiliate you and vent my anger before you die."

Li Ai walked up to the other person.

Cui Cui remained silent for a moment, realizing that the other party's behavior was indeed very unusual, but she still did not look up.

"Then why did you save me?"

"At a time like this, forming partnerships is pointless; she's unlikely to listen. We need to give her an answer first, to get her out of this negative cycle."

Information about Cui Cui quickly flooded my mind.

"Because I am a hunter of love, I want to prove that all monster girls are worthy of being loved."

"Heh, even if I become like this, I'm still a female Rathalos with a broken tail. Who would like that?"

Cui Cui gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"Uh... as long as you keep living, you might just meet him."

I don't believe it.

Upon hearing this, Li Ai's lips twitched.

After all, this response is tantamount to blocking all avenues.

At this moment, its drooping tail slowly swept across the ground in front of it.

Seeing the tail hammer wrapped in bandages in the shape of a heart, Cui Cui suddenly froze.
