Chapter 8: A new companion
"Son, come down!"
Simon was extremely annoyed, it was too early in the morning to be shouting so loud. He stuffed a pillow over his head to try to go back to sleep.
"SIMON! COME DOWN!"
Simon threw his pillow trying to vent his anger. The pillow flew into the wall with enough force to explode in a cloud of feathers though there was not even a scratch on the wooden surface.
"I AM COMING!"
He got up from bed cursing all the while as he got to the door still in his nightwear which was just underwear to hide his precious bits. He slammed the door behind him with so much strength that it caused the frame and the surrounding wooden structure to rattle. This made him stumble in shock and he almost fell on his face before catching himself.
"What the..."
The shock caused his anger to evaporate and replaced it with confused curiosity. A chorus of clicking and skittering followed the loud bang coming ever closer. This was not the first time Simon heard it but even now it made his skin crawl.
Simon turned his head to see a monster girl whose lower half was a giant centipede. Simon never heard her talk, only making clicking noises that his dad could easily understand. If there was any shred of anger left in him it had quickly evaporated into goosebumps inducing unease.
The low light in the windowless hallway did not help matters at all.
Simon said
"Nope."
Then he quickly bolted downstairs to see the commotion, all of a sudden very happy that he was being called upon.
"SI... Oh! You are here!" Victor exclaimed.
"Yes, Dad!" Simon stood at attention, trying to get his shivering body under control. Creepy aunt always gave him the chills.
"Remember when I said all you had to do was wait?" His dad's surprise turned into a grin as he said this.
"Oh. Yes." Simon parroted back, rubbering his shoulders to get skin-crawling sensations out of his body.
"Well... I think it is time we start giving you legitimate tamer lessons instead of just teaching you theory." Victor said, in a surprising amount of eagerness. It had been a long while since he felt this sort of childish excitement, but the thought of the surprise on his son's face took him back to the time he had received Cathy. The nostalgic memories combined with the current gave him a burst of youthful jubilance.
"Ok." Simon's mind was still elsewhere but his father only chalked that up to him still being drowsy.
"So, to start the next training step, I shall give you your first monster girl!" He shouted.
"Ok," Simon said with no other outer reaction, much to Victor's disappointment. He looked at his son with a raised eyebrow but kept quiet.
Simon's mind stopped for a second, his dad's loud words not registering even as reverberated in his skull. Then it sat in his head for a couple of seconds before it finally clicked.
"Wait...What?!?!" Simon's eyebrows shot up as his eyes opened wide. A million thoughts were running through his head but none of them made any sense.
The failing smirk on Victor's face came back in full as he found the reaction he was looking for. He waggled the glowing crystal gem in the air as asked his son.
"Do you know what this is?" He asked in a teasing tone, Simon took it as a legitimate question. and like the countless times his dad held an oral examination, he went off on a long-winded explanation.
"That is a portable monster girl storage gem, designed to store partially bonded monster girls so that they remain caged and/or loyal to the tamer trying to bind the monster girl. It imitates the second stage of bonding a monster girl making it a reliable buffer for most monster girls. The glow suggests..."
"Hold up there kiddo!" Victor held up his one free hand in surrender stopping Simon from continuing.
"This is not an impromptu exam. Your dad just decided it is time you started your own 'family' and so he risked hand and limb to get you this gem."
Kit who was also present in the room only smiled, neither of the two males noticed her smile because if they did she would surely be questioned. That smile was not a happy or even an angry one. It was a very feral one that promised mischief to a deific degree. The other monster girl Demigora who was also in the background noticed this and looked at her in confusion. She would ask her vastly more powerful sister what was up soon.
The two men, however, were in their own little world speaking with each other with excited breath.
"Wanna see what I got you?" Victor also did not know what was inside the gem, Victor had asked Kit to get a monster girl. He had tried to get a mid-tiered monster girl using his connections but when one was out of the game for as long as Victor, that side proved to be a bust. Going out personally would take too long so he dumped the responsibility on to Kit who was surprisingly happy to do so.
He tapped the gem and in a flash of pure white light, there stood the first monster girl Simon would call his own.
Her body was a cross-breed of hard visible muscle and generous proportions which were common to most canine variants who straddled the line of 'hard and soft. Her dark tan skin was smooth without blemish which was the norm for monster girls, her face was a mix of sensual and feral beauty like Kit's but to a much lesser degree. That was not the only similarity to Kit as the monster girl had long canine ears on the top of her head like her. But everything else was more unique, her hands which looked very soft ended with razor-sharp claws, she had only one tail, and the white fur on it was more wild and bushy, her hair also carried this feral trend. Her canine blue eyes were darting around wildly clearly still feral.
Two things surprised Victor, first the black bands on the completely nude monster girl, such things usually suggested a rare variant or something of that sort. The second is the absolute lack of body hair outside the head and tail. An easy sign that the monster was at the low-high tier.
The monster first locked her eyes on Victor then noticed the two other monster girls near him and immediately turned around, only to be face to face with Simon. Without a second thought jumped the boy. Simon was still admiring the form of the new monster girl and was not at all prepared for the rough tackle he received and immediately fell to the floor.
"Victor. Let us leave the lovebirds be. Remember, the first time is almost always a guarantee."
This brought Victor out of his worried stare as the wolfen monster girl shredded the boy's only article of clothing, saving him from witnessing his son's bits for the umpteenth time.
That was right, a tamer without any tames was like a drug to most monster girls and they received a massive boost in the likelihood of a 'miracle bond' forming. Even if that was not the case his son was rated to last a hundred orgasms even with high-tier monster girls, and he could come back and check in a few hours if the bond completely formed or not.
" Uh... Dad... what is happening?..." asked the boy as the monster girl blocked the view to his lower half(thank whatever god that existed).
"You are getting your first bond. Good luck."
He turned and left the house to get ready for his day followed by Kit and Demigora.
Chapter 8.5: A Fox and Demon
"That was not a normal high-tier wolf..."
Both Demigora and Kit had come out with Victor, keeping the rest at the house to keep an eye on Simon and the new feral monster girl. The chance of something bad happening to Simon was next to nothing if that was all. It would also give him a taste of how feral monster girls acted, both within monster girls' expectations.
But her demon's hackles were raised when she noticed the black tattoo bands around the wolf girl. She could not feel any magic at all coming off the black bands, but she was from the infernal realm and she had seen such magic before, once. But it was very very powerful magic and even the hint of that being what she thought it was made her wary.
"Oh. Whatever do you mean?" Kit asked being unusually sweet as she playfully hopped next to Demigora.
Demigora did not realize she was speaking out loud, she turned to the second oldest member of their party who outstripped Victor by a couple of centuries but was still not even half her age of herself.
"Those bands are not normal." She spoke out to get his attention as well, but he seemed to be lost in thought.
"Oh... Hmm... I see... By the way Demi. Can I make a deal with you?" Kit asked playfully.
This confused Demigora but her nature made such a thing very desirable, even more than worry for Victor if something happened to their son. To her, it would just result in a century or two of heartache at most and while she would prefer to avoid such an outcome if possible but it was not that high on her priority list, at the top was the transformation of Victor into a [demon king].
"Alright. What are the conditions?"
"I will tell you some secrets but they cannot be repeated in any shape or form, using any medium, directly or indirectly and I can magic you if you break it. So... will you take it?"
Demigora once more looked at Victor but he seemed uncaring so she shrugged and agreed. Despite how many people would think, there were a lot of leeways to wriggle in that magical contract. She suspected there was some extra trick at play and the 'magic you' part was very suspicious but both were sisters to the same tamer, at the end of the day she could not be harmed in any way by Kit.
"{I ACCEPT}"
She felt the weight of the contract instantly but this was a one-way contract as there was no obligation on the other side once the information was given. Of course, the contract became void if no 'new' information was shared, a straightforward trick to weasel out of deals.
Kit started playfully bouncing from foot to foot as she grinned at Demigora and came up to her, her tails waving in the air being the more noticeable outcome as had most of her body's volume.
She came very close to one of her pointed elfin purple ears as she whispered.
"The wolf I got for Simon is a Fenrir."
