Monster Girl Ranching in Another World-Chapter 294 Stupid Jerk, Catching Up

I turned my head, but I tried to keep my eyes on the other wolf I had hit as I did. The other giant blue wolves were jumping at the tree where the goblins were trying to hide.

"HEY!" I yelled at the other two wolves, and they stopped to turn to me.

[The other wolf! Jumping at you now!] Harold yelled in my head.

I ducked, but the moment the blue wolf was above me, I shot back up. I drove both my fists straight up, slamming my fists into the ribs of the creature, feeling and hearing ribs crack.

The wolf let out a yip as it was tossed over my head and slammed down into the grass, not getting back up. I glared at the other two wolves and then started towards them, but they both turned and ran.

I let out a sigh and looked over at the goblins that all seemed to be okay.

Then Zee fell out of the tree, and I groaned.

"Zee, you stupid jerk!" Kaedi growled as they started to try and climb down the tree.

I walked over to the tree to help them down, but I kept an eye on the wolf still lying on the ground whimpering. It was still alive, but I must have broken some ribs because it looked like trouble breathing.

Once I got the goblins all down from the tree, Gee and Ayech started to 'wake up' Zee. While they were doing that, I turned back to the large blue wolf.

"Are you going to kill it, or just leave it?" Rei asked me, but I wasn't sure, so I didn't say anything.

[What are you going to do with it? Don't tell me…] Harold said with his voice trailing off.

I wasn't going to kill it, but I wasn't going to leave it here to die like this.

[You never change.] Libra said in a knowing voice, and I could feel Harold's eyes rolling.

[You don't really have time to play vet! It's a monster! It can heal on its own, and you have a thought-thirsty predator chasing you that you can't even deal with!] Harold raged, but I had already made my choice.

'Listen, I know that you think this is silly, but I am not just going to kill this because it was acting like the animal it is! It is another monster that could use some help, so I will try, but if I can't, I will just leave it.'

[Don't give me that shit! I can read your mind, and I know that you just want to make this giant mut your pet!] Harold roared, and I could feel him shaking his fists, and I just shrugged.

Sue me, it was a massive blue wolf, and it would be an advantage if I could make it submit to me in the future. Plus, it would be just lovely to have a pet and not another girl to take care of.

Not that I didn't love all my girls that I was looking after, this was just different.

[You pick the worst times to be difficult!] Harold complained.

I ignored him and walked over to the wolf, and it started to growl through its whimpers. It started to get up, and I stopped and waited to see what it would do.

"Easy, I don't want to hurt you, but you can't eat the goblins," I said as the blue wolf stumbled to its feet.

"Why not?!" The wolf growled to my surprise but then let out a yip.

Of course, the wolf would talk; why wouldn't it?

"Besides me making you lay back down permanently, I will feed you something else. Possibly centaur, but we will see how they act, but I am sure that more things will try and attack us. Or you run off and try to find something else to kill and feed yourself," I explained to the wolf.

"Why would you want to do that? I am a monster; you are supposed to kill me, not feed me!?" The wolf exclaimed in confusion, stepping back from me.

"Oh? So you want me to kill you? End it all, and get it over with? I can if you want, but I would much prefer to have someone to watch my back. In return, I will feed you and give you a safe place to sleep, or as safe as I can make it; can't really make real promises to that end," I explained nonchalantly as the wolf stared at me with overwhelming confusion.

"No, wait, I just have never heard of something as weird as you. Everything here except for the bugs tries to kill each other, but you want me as a pet?!" The wolf asked with incredulity.

"More or less, but we don't really have the time to be going over this right now. The thing controlling the rings is after me right now, and I am looking for some way to get stronger or make a weapon of some kind. So, if you are going to come with me, then we need to get going," I explained, but the wolf still looked hesitant.

"How do I know I can trust you?" the wolf asked me, but I was already turning back around to see how the others were doing, then I heard the wolf shout, "Hey! What are you doing?!"

I kept turning back to where the six goblins were standing quietly, staring at me with awe. I waved for them to get going, and they all looked confused at first, and I could see them looking behind me.

Finally, that started to move, and I flowed behind them, leaving the wolf behind, but it didn't take very long. Within about ten steps, the wolf was walking beside me, looking much better already.

"So, where are we going?" The wolf asked, but that was when I heard the voices.

"You can't run forever."

"We will catch you." 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

"Your resistance is meaningless."

"We are inevitable!"

[I told you that you were wasting time] Harold complained.

"Running away from that thing!" I told the wolf as we picked up speed, and I yelled, "Get those little legs moving!"
