Monster Hunter Monster Girl Story

After pouring a whole bottle of AD calcium milk over the vine net, Li Ai charged toward the giant golden shield worm.

Clang!

The shield blocked the flying, rolling impact, and as the shield bug, which had shrunk into a ball, bounced back and rolled, Li Ai threw out his super-large net.

The other party was unaware of the danger and continued to absorb calcium from the vine leaves.

When it realized the net was tightening and tried to stretch its shell to open it again, it found it was too late to escape.

In the evening, a mobile collection vehicle carrying more than a dozen shield bugs arrived at the roadside jungle.

"The lizard is already overwhelmed, so I'll take over the demonstration this time, meow."

"I can't breathe," said the rescue team leader, Kabu, looking at the fat lizard in the vehicle. "I can't breathe."

"Okay, but this time, for a more impressive demonstration, I've decided to skip the luncheon meat and eat shield bugs instead."

The Great Bird's affection level has reached six hearts, but there's still no sign of the event to turn it into a monster girl.

The only solution is to continue to fuel the Great Bird's own desire for monster girlification.

"Shield Bug Meow...okay, I come from a tribe and have eaten everything, meow."

Kabu hesitated for a moment, but still chose to persist.

Dragging a net into the jungle, we soon spotted the large, strange bird waiting in the open woodland.

Li Ai didn't take out all the shield bugs, but instead threw them at the opponent one by one, from the smallest to the largest.

The giant bird looked forward to improving little by little, its eyes fixed on the bushes that were constantly throwing out shield bugs.

"Hey!"

"Meow!"

When the human and cat worked together to throw the giant golden shield bug, the giant bird's eyes flashed with starlight, and the bird car rushed over to greet it.

Li Ai shook the crispy bread in her hand, tore it open, and poured it onto the white, translucent worm meat that resembled a lychee.

He took a small bite and found it tasted pretty good. Just as he was about to deliver his lines, he noticed that the shadow of the giant bird, illuminated by the setting sun, was rapidly shrinking back.

"Can I have a seasoning packet too, meow... I've... turned into a monster girl, meow!"

Kabu exclaimed in surprise.

"Hehe, haha, gaga..."

The giant bird closed its eyes and let out a strange laugh. Its arms, with membranous wings on both sides and sharp claws at the ends, were tightly embracing the giant golden shield beetle.

Its rosy cheeks rubbed against the shield beetle's carapace, looking extremely happy.

"What a huge shield bug! It can keep us going for a long, long time... uh~"

bang~

The giant bird monster girl laughed so hard she fell backwards.

The giant golden shield beetle suddenly spun around, breaking free from the grasp, but was unable to roll away quickly due to being entangled in the specially made net.

However, the giant bird maintained its embrace and did not chase after it.

"What's wrong, meow?"

"I'm too excited and out of my mind... Keep an eye on things, I'll go get the shield bugs."

Even the biggest shield beetle is still just a shield beetle, especially since it was entangled in the net. Li Ai didn't go far and easily dragged it back.

Then, I picked him up, found a good angle, and put him back into the big, strange bird's arms.

Feeling the hard texture of its shell, the giant bird quickly opened its eyes.

As the sun set, she saw a dark red cat face and a dark red human face staring at her.

"Ah!"

The giant bird cried out in surprise, kicked with its claws, swung its tail, and quickly retreated.

"I am Li Ai, Yang Kuku."

As Li Ai spoke, she picked up two shield beetles and hung them on her waist.

He twisted his waist and swayed, followed by loud thuds.

"Me too, meow."

As he spoke, Kabu raised his paw to show the luncheon meat tin that was still half full.

Yang Kuku frowned slightly and pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his eyelids, revealing a look of sudden realization.

"You're Li Ai, the one with two shield bugs hanging from your waist! You're that Ailu who always brings me shield bugs to eat... Where's that little bug?"

"The lizard is a lizard, and it's on rest day today, meow."

Kabu responded.

"Oh, is that so? Can I become even smaller?"

Yang Kuku looked down at his humanoid body and asked a question.

"It can't get any smaller."

Seeing Li Ai approaching, Yang Kuku continued to shuffle backward.

"We're not here to hunt you, don't be nervous."

"I can tell you're all very kind to me, but a friend once told me that humans are dangerous and I shouldn't get close to them."

Yang Kuku said, head bowed, looking very conflicted.

"Is your friend that one-eared black wolf-bird?"

Li Ai recalled the unusual phenomena she had observed before, just like Graves had.

"That's her, that's who I called..."

After thinking for a moment, Yang Kuku came up with a suitable name: "Because she is always all alone, I will call her Lonely Bird."

"Hey! You can't just pick a name like that."

Li Ai immediately reminded him.

Why?

"This name is unlucky. What if a hunter also calls himself Lone Bird in the future, and sees your friend being so arrogant and having the same name as her? He might come and hunt her."

Li Ai reminded her.

"Then let's call it..."

"Let's call him Lone Wolf."

Li Ai offered advice.

"Hmm, that's a good name."

Seeing that Yang Kuku had relaxed, the man and the cat slowly approached.

"How did you meet Lone Wolf, and how did you become friends?"

"That was a long time ago..."

Kuku, the sheep sitting on the ground, hugged the shield beetle and looked at the sunset.

Li Ai unfolded the book into three folds and began recording the intelligence.

"The fog was very thick during that time, and I couldn't see anything. My companions had all disappeared, and I don't know why I felt so terrified. Then I saw a lone wolf in the forest. In my companions' eyes, a lone wolf was a very frightening creature. At that moment..."

As Yang Kuku spoke, he lifted the large golden shield worm and stared intently at it.

"A shield bug, probably a little smaller than this one, appeared, and I happily chased after it. Then the fog cleared, and we became friends."

The human and the cat exchanged a glance, both showing expressions of suspicion.

"Yang Kuku, have you forgotten some details?"

Li Ai made a two-finger grasping gesture.

"No, I caught that shield bug and even wanted to share it with Lone Wolf, but he didn't eat it."

Li Ai stroked her chin, feeling that Lone Wolf's behavior was not only highly abnormal, but also completely illogical.

However, the opponent not only independently completed the monster girlization, but also escaped the hero team's hunts multiple times. Logically speaking, their intelligence should not be too low.

"And then what?"

"Sigh~ After that, because I became friends with the lone wolf, all the other big bird companions stayed away from me. I can understand them, after all, the black wolf bird is really dangerous."

Yang Kuku, who had been smiling the whole time, now showed a forlorn expression.

"Don't be sad, meow."

Just as Kabu was about to raise his paw to comfort him, Yangkuku's lips suddenly curled up: "Hehe, but Lone Wolf is very good to me. He will find shield bugs for me to eat, and when the fire dragon is chasing me, he will fight back to help me escape. Every day is very exciting, and I am happier than before!"

"I see, meow."

Kabu retracted the cat's paw.

"But she spends less and less time with me. Every time we meet, she criticizes me for not being careful enough. She jumps around and shouts when she's happy. If this continues, she'll be hunted by dragons or humans sooner or later. It will be hard for her to survive on her own."

"Don't be sad, meow."

Kabu extended its claws again.

"Hehe, but I don't care. As long as I can eat shield bugs every day before I die, I'll be happy."

"Are you... are you happy or sad, meow?"

Yang Kuku's rapid mood swings left Kabu feeling quite helpless.

Li Ai looked at the three-fold booklet and organized the notes.

The relationship between Yangkuku and the lone wolf is currently unclear.

However, judging from the other party's needs, joining the team shouldn't be a problem.

"Yang Kuku, join my team. I'll help you improve your independent survival skills, and you can train me in combat techniques, how about that?"

"Can I improve too...? Lone Wolf has been trying to help me for a long time but hasn't been able to do it, and I don't have much confidence in myself."

Although Yangkuku is optimistic, he has a clear understanding of his situation in the wild.

"Lone wolves are under so much pressure and can't spare much energy, but I'm different. As long as you're willing to join the team, I can provide assistance around the clock."

"Sounds good, but I won't train you in practical combat skills."

Yang Kuku doesn't think he has this ability.

"You can do it, but try turning back into monster form first."

"I haven't eaten the shield bug yet, so I can't now, and it sounds really difficult."

"Then you eat first, we're not in a hurry."

"good!"

After Yang Kuku finished speaking, he took a deep breath and then tilted his head back to gather his strength.

Realizing that it no longer had a large and sharp beak, it stopped moving.

Then, it placed the giant golden shield beetle on the ground, and its arms and membranous wings spread outwards, quickly completing its monster transformation.

With two pecks, it shattered the shield beetle's shell, then transformed back into its monster girl form and began to enjoy it.

"Hmm~ It's definitely smaller now. These same shield bugs get full after just a little bit... they really do get full after just a little!"

Hearing Yang Kuku's praise of the monster girl form, the human and the cat felt a strange sense of familiarity.

"He said he couldn't transform, but he mastered it after eating the Shield Bug... Could it be that spending so much time with Lone Wolf has subconsciously taught him some techniques?"

Li Ai was a little hungry after a busy day.

After handing Kabu a box of luncheon meat, I distributed the snacks on the grass and started eating dinner.

Kabu took two bites, then looked at the dim sky after sunset, and suddenly stopped using his paws.

"Li Ai, after the team returns to the village, will they come back to the waterfall stronghold to hunt again, meow?"

"I don't know, but given the current regional environment, apart from collection commissions, they probably won't be coming again in the short term."

The lone wolf escaped, the leader of the Blue Velocidrome clan was hunted down, and even a large number of Shield Bugs were captured.

Li Ai believes that there will be no more hunting commissions posted here in the short term.

Kabu lowered his head, his cat ears drooping, looking somewhat disappointed.

"Don't worry, I will pay extra for the rescue team's recent assistance in collecting and capturing shield bugs."

Li Ai assumed the other person was worried about overtime pay.

In fact, the emergency medical assistance requests from the Ailus had already ended when the "[A formidable foe, the Blue Velociraptor King has appeared!]" event was completed.

Although they didn't earn any money with the hunter team, they were able to receive a certain amount of rescue and travel subsidies from the guild.

The four-wheeled flatbed truck that goes with the grass is really useful, and the rescue team led by Kabu is also willing to follow Li Ai, which is why they have been assisting her until now.

"It's not about the cost, meow..."

Kabu clenched his fists, looking very excited.

"What's that? Did Sunny bully your Ellu? She wouldn't do that, would she?"

Li Ai thought for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason.

"The hunt for love is just too exciting, we don't want to part ways, meow!"

As soon as Kabu finished shouting, several Ailu darted out from the bushes.

Seeing the tears glistening in the cats' eyes, Li Ai finally understood.

Groups like rescue teams, formed by semi-wild Artois, are closer to humans and can earn some income, so their survival pressure is not as great as that of truly wild Artois. However, it is just a job to make a living and has nothing to do with an exciting life.

Li Ai took a sip of AD calcium milk and sighed, "Maybe you only see the good side of the Love Hunter. Not every monster girl is easy to approach and get along with."

"We've seen many hunters die in cat carts, and we're well aware of the cruelty of the ecosystem. Just mentioning it makes us feel sorry for them, and it puts a bad mood on the hunter team. That's why we don't easily reveal this information."

"So the rescue team actually knows everything... Then why were they so rough when they put the injured hunter down in a safe area?"

Li Ai asked a question that she had always wanted to ask.

"There's nothing we can do about it, meow. We don't have the agility of a Palico. After pushing the cart for such a long distance at high speed, we're exhausted and simply can't lift the hunters wearing heavy armor. Meanwhile, the other hunter team members are probably still fighting monsters. In order to get back as soon as possible and be ready to provide first aid, we have no choice but to lift the cart and unload the parts."

"I see. No wonder you all like grass so much, which can be used to pull carts around."

Li Ai realized she had misunderstood the rescue team. They didn't want to treat the injured hunter roughly either, but the actual situation didn't allow for such carelessness.

"But I'm not exactly well-off either. I need to craft two pieces of Blue Velociraptor equipment when I go back to the village this time, so I can't hire the entire rescue team long-term."

For a top-tier team like the Hero Squad, setting up a dedicated rescue team might not be too much of a burden, but even with the extra income from selling cigarettes, Li Ai would find it difficult to afford.

"We've already made our reward, meow. Have you forgotten about the materials on the mobile gathering vehicle? We can make a fortune just by bringing them back to the village."

"Hey~ that's a good idea."

Li Ai had also researched the idea of ​​making money by using mobile collection vehicles, but there was a problem with transportation.

The coachmen and merchants were eager for a hunter team to accompany them, but the hunters couldn't go too far.

Therefore, only the more valuable items are selected when bringing them back to the village.

Partnering with the Ailu Rescue Team eliminates this problem. As long as the grass can be pulled, even if it's piled up into a small mountain on a flatbed truck, it's fine. Moreover, they can set off immediately without having to wait by the roadside for a suitable truck to arrive.

"Shall we go back to the village together tomorrow?"

"Okay, meow!"

Li Ai spread her palm and touched it against Kabu Cat's paw.

"Since this is a dedicated rescue team, we should train them on how to rescue monster girls. As for their attire... the team doesn't have a name yet, right?"

"Yes, meow."

"Let's call it the Love Rescue Team."

"Can we use that pink heart pattern on our clothes from now on, meow?"

Kabu looked at the Love Hunter Medal and asked tentatively.

"sure."

"Great, meow!"

Kabu jumped up excitedly.

An agreement has been reached, and both the person and the cat are very happy.

On the other side of the grass, Yangkuku looked at the shield beetle with its shell broken, but hesitated.

"Even I can't eat shield bugs sometimes!"
