Monster Girl Ranching in Another World-Chapter 284 - Libra, Ghost Of A Feeling

"Who do you think you are!" The voices shrieked, but I ignored them as I thought about where I was.

'Harold?'

[...]

Nothing from him, so this was like when I talked to Mark. I had almost no way to do anything to resist, but that was before I had spent time in my own head.

This was just another place in my head, and the ripples from the voices were coming from the direction of the constellation.

I focused my will and targeted the pattern of stars and let myself reach out to make a connection. This was my head, so I made the rules; the others were the invaders.

"Stop that, you wild animal! You can not take this control! We are the rulers of the Astral Orichalcum Rings!" The voices shrieked, but they were weaker now.

I refused to give them the satisfaction of a reply and instead focused on establishing my bond with the ring. Even though I was targeting the constellation, I knew that the real target was the Libra Orichalcum Ring.

Suddenly, I was pulled into another reality, but this time I was in a courtroom, and there was a woman with massive breasts sitting on a throne where the judge would usually be seated, the pedestal replaced.

There were two faceless muscular men beside her, and each was holding her bare breasts up. Everything else in the room looked Identical to the typical courtroom you would see in a crime show.

They had no genitals, and their faces were completely smooth, giving them a statuesque look. The men crouched were holding each basketball-sized breast and then seemed to be motionless, so they might just be statues.

"Thank you for breaking me from the grip of the Brothers. I have been waiting for you to come back to get me, Zack," The Astral constellation known as Libra told me, and I knew that it was her.

There was something familiar and nostalgic about this place, and I was getting ghosts of feeling and past experiences here. I had been here many times before, and Libra and I had spent many hours talking in this very room.

Each time I tried to reach for one of the memories, it was the same as trying to get at any of my blocked thoughts. I knew they had happened, but the actual memory was at the tips of my fingers, just out of my reach.

"I know you, and we have spent time together, right?" I asked.

"Yes, but when you left us here in the ground, none of us believed that you would ever come back," Libra said with a sad smile that cut me more profound than any knife ever could.

Harold's words came back into my mind once again.

What does it matter whether they are all gone or not? 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

What made me feel that way before? Did I really think that way? Has anything changed for me this time around?

"I am sorry that this happened, and I can't really make excuses for the person that I was back then. I am slowly figuring out that I need to do things differently this time around. Can you tell me what is actually going on here and what I said to you before leaving?" I said to Libra, and she nodded to me with a brighter smile and then waved her hand out to the side.

The scene shifted, and I was standing in a bedroom with Libra on a four-poster bed that felt more than inviting. She was lying on her breasts, and they forced her back to curve and arch as she looked up to me.

"Why don't you join me? It has been so long since anything but the scales of time have touched me, and we spent so much time together before you left us here," Libra said seductively, but the last part stung, and I deserved it.

I was going to have to figure out something that could help save everything, but why didn't I want to help before? Why was I so willing to leave this woman behind?

Libra had golden eyes and her smile that she gave me melted me like butter, and I buried her in the ground here. Why?!

"I don't understand why I did this? I just can't see myself being okay with doing this!" I growled in frustration as I slowly walked over to the bed.

I sat down on it, and the bed was covered in sheets that looked to be spun from gold, but it was smooth like velvet.

"You said that you would be back, and you know that this was never going to work. I wasn't sure, and most of us thought that you would get back to us, but the faith of the others has started to fade. You need us, or you can never win, but you know that. You said that you weren't ready to win yet," Libra told me, and things started to make sense.

"So you are saying that the reason that I left you here is that I knew that I was going to lose, and I was preparing for me to do this again?" I asked, and Libra nodded.

"Yes! That is what we thought, but we never thought that you would take this long," Libra said as she looked up at me with a gentle smile.

I leaned down to kiss that smile, and then I felt the burning on my back again as my Astral pattern gained another star. These rings were more of the constellations of light that I needed to collect.

"So, who are these brothers?" I asked after pulling back from the kiss.

"Wait! Before I tell you, do you think that you could give me some attention before you leave? Once I tell you who they are, you will have to go.. So, can it tell you after?" Libra asked me with a cute smile and some of her blonde hair falling down into her face.
