"Heard people talking about it in the village," I lied, not wanting to talk about Hero.
It wasn't like I hadn't talked about him before, but now I thought that it might be better to keep quiet about him. I would have to do something about the ones that did know, but I am sure we will figure it out.
[It is probably a good idea to keep quiet about me rather than let the rest of them know. As for getting rid of the memories, there are Demons that can, or the Sphinx can remove some things on request, but I don't advise it, even with Veronica. The Sphinx takes everything about whatever the memory was, meaning that you would be gone as well.]
That was fair, and I was glad for the advice. Looks like I would be looking for some kind of memory-altering Demon of sorts.
Nushi's horns still crackled, and Mary was starting to growl from behind me, but Nushi wasn't talking. I concentrated without flexing and then looked at Nushi with a stern expression.
Her horns stopped cracking as I did and then laid back on Nushi's head as Nushi moaned a bit. The long rigid two-inch-thick horns pointed behind her as my presence that I was emitting dominated her.
What I couldn't see was that It was also affecting everyone else in the room, but I didn't hold long. A room full of gasps and then, strangely, titters of laughter was what tipped me off.
I turned around to see Mex, Nixi, Clesh, and the other five Grandmothers laughing. On closer inspection, I noticed that they were all sweating quite a bit, and… hot and bothered?
[Skill Upgrade: Monster Ecstasy Domination]: You now have the ability to exert dominance over monsters that will also simulate them in arousing ways if you will is more significant than its own.
Oh, this is just really cute; now, I was going to be rendering people unable to walk due to over-arousal. I would be the ultimate pervert, but only when I got really serious and mad, just frickin hilarious.
[I am sure someone is laughing out there right now, I know I got a couple good chuckles when I saw you get the new skill upgrade.]
"Is everyone alright? Sorry about that, I didn't mean to… umm," I started to say but paused, trying to think of how to properly word it, but Clesh was the one that spoke up.
"You can get mad at me anytime you want! That was… More than interesting," Clesh said with a smile that said I was looking tasty and eyes that were constantly trying to take my shorts off.
"Mother! Father is standing right there!" Nushi squeaked as she poked her head around the side of me.
"No, I agree with your mother. I feel like trying to make you irritated to pissed you off just for another round! Although I will need a new pair of shorts after this, I already painted the inside of these ones," Mex said with a look that made me very uncomfortable.
I could feel Mary behind me, and she, out of all of them, was the only one that was acting normal. I wasn't really sure what that was since she was behind me, but I told Mary I was going to feed her and the snakes.
I looked at Nushi with a smile, and then she blushed and went to sit at the table. I turned from her, ignoring the other ones in the kitchen, and went over to the stove where there was still some meat.
The group stared at more for a bit, but then Clesh, and the Grandmother, who were all still joking, left the room. That left just the four of us; there were none of the other monster girls in the room besides Nushi, but she was a Demon.
"So, I want to ask you all about Dao. I need to know everything you know about him, his farms, base castle, or wherever he is staying. Before you start with him, I also need a quick rundown of Neft," I said after I finished cutting up a huge pile of the remaining meat.
I walked with it, and Mary, who was quietly drooling on my shoulder, and down the front of my chest like she did when I first met her. The two of us sat down, and she moved around to sit in my lap, laying on my chest, like she did each time.
"Neft is a pompous fool that always thinks he is smarter than everyone else and likes to rub it in their faces when he is wrong. The Minor Demon Lord is a Necromancer, and a fan of using big and brutish dead creatures he animates using drained energy from other living things," Nixi explained as I held the plate for Mary as she casually popped pieces of meat into her mouth.
"I gleaned that much from the interaction that I had with some creatures that he was controlling; Behemoths. What about where he is staying? Are there traps or other things like innocents that I should be worried about?" I asked as I used my other hand to grab a bunch of the small pieces that I had cut up.
I was moving my hand around her head, letting all of the snakes get some since it was too hard to keep track if I fed them one at a time. It must have looked like a strange sight for most, but it didn't seem to bother the others.
Nushi had her head in her hands with her elbows on the table, peaking out when I wasn't looking at her, but I could still sense when she did. It was cute, and it got me excited about for later after it was time for bed.
I put my hand down and wiped my hand on my shorts. It seemed that Mex and Nixi were waiting for me to finish.
There was more I needed to know, but the sun was only just starting to set. There was plenty of night left to plan now, and then games after!
