Chapter 637 - Monster Friends

-----
We quickly reached the door that opened into the room where the monsters were. When we got there, Frost began to wave his tail, Kumo's red eyes shone brightly as if happy to see us, and Kuro roared cutely.
"Woof!"
"Gryysha!"
"Uwaahh!"
Benladra's eyes opened wide as she looked at the scene in front of her, three monsters right at the start! She was really scared right away, and tightly hugged my chest while I was holding her in my arms.
"Benladra, calm down, these are good monsters." I said.
"Uwahhh…"
Benladra was containing her tears as she looked at the creatures. For some reason she was very fearful of creatures, maybe not things such as small animals, but monsters really gave off another vibe completely, a strong aura of mana that she cannot completely take.
Benladra was caressed and kissed by the two of us as she slowly began to calm down, looking at the three monsters silently watching her. All three of them sat down over the floor and seemed friendly enough, looking at her curiously.
Benladra was looking at the beasts silently, as Frost big head slowly approached her.
She closed her eyes fearfully, as her tiny hand was stretched, and Frost licked it gently.
"Uwaaaahh!" she cried.
"Woof!"
Frost looked into Benladra's eyes, as her beautiful eyes suddenly shone brightly, the two looked at one another for a few seconds, as Benladra suddenly calmed down.
It seems that Frost knew she was shy, and he was trying to help her get over it quickly by licking her.
"Waaa…" Benladra said, as her tiny hand suddenly ended touching the snout of the wolf.
And she stopped talking while looking. And then, Kumo and Kuro approached and licked her tiny hand gently as well. Benladra was a bit scared still, but she was enduring it like a champ this time around, and slowly getting used to their presence.
"She's doing her best…" said Benladann.
"Yeah, I think she's aware of her fearful nature and is trying to find a way to get over it…" I said.
After that, the little Luna, or Shiro, as I like to call her, showed up, floating around like a small white snake with four tiny legs in her. She emanated a bright moonlight aura.
"Luna! Been a while… I am sorry for not being able to take care of you," sighed Benladann.
"Gishi." Said Luna, licking Benladann cutely, she was happy to see her master.
"She had been taken care by Kuro and the other monsters, so she's never truly alone, also Mikoto and Tsukuyomi come to see her as well, so she got her grandma and sister to come see her..." I said.
"I see, that's good, that's good, so you're happy then… Look, this is my daughter, Benladra." Said Benladann.
The timid Benladra looked at the mystical white snake with shiny eyes, admiring how close it was to her mother, she suddenly touched it a bit, the slim white scales felt nice to the touch, and Luna helped by licking her forehead cutely.
"Awaaa…" said Benladra in surprise, as she petted Shiro happily, with a cute smile in her face.
After that, the two big crows, Huginn and Muninn showed themselves, giving some little and gentle cries, crow cries are very loud, so they got a hard time making small sounds.
"Croa…"
"Croo…"
"Ohhh…"
Benladra looked at the two big birds. This was her first-time seeing birds this big and so close, their beautiful beaks and eyes seemed to make her a bit startled, and their plumage was too beautiful as well.
She slowly stretched her hand towards the birds and touched their beaks, the two let her have her way with them, although they didn't really liked getting touched as much by anyone else than me or Benladann.
"Do you like the pets?" asked Benladann.
"They're all our friends, monsters are not so scary, right? There are bad and good monsters. These are good monsters. Bad monsters will try to attack you, but there are good monsters that are gentle and nice." I said.
"Goo mowster…" said Benladra, touching the beak of the birds again.
"Why am I here though? I am not a monster anymore; I am a beast-kin!" said Yuki angrily.
"You still were a monster formerly, and a tamed monster too, so you count." I said.
"No, I don't! Don't call me monster!" said Yuki angrily. "And the baby is cute… Benladra, I am a monster too!"
Yuki contradicted herself at the same time as she wanted the attention of our baby.
Benladra looked at Yuki's small frame curiously, and she petted her head.
"Wawaah!" she said.
"Your kid is so cute…" said Yuki.
"She's the cutest there is after all," said Benladann pridefully.
"Yeah, we take pride in our kid." I said.
At the end, we spent several hours with the monster pets doing various things, well, mostly the monster walked around and acted playful with Benladra so she could grow more used to them.
After that, we all enjoyed some food, and she watched each monster eating on their own way, realizing they were also living beings that ate like her, and also had their own lives and more.
At the end of the day, she was left rather happy, she liked the monsters, especially the fluffy ones such as Frost and the crows. The wolf's fur was fluffy and soft, while the crows had a very soft and silky plumage.
When things all ended, she was sleeping in Benladann's arms, and we walked back to our room, leaving her sleeping soundly there.
"I guess everything worked out at the end, I am happy for Benladra, I always thought she would have a very hard time dealing with people and other things, but she handled things just fine… I think we can show her people in a day or two, maybe past tomorrow, let's leave her spend more time with the pets tomorrow too." Said Benladann.
