“Hmm hmm~ If nothing else, my old comrades are still the same and with plentiful wool to boot.”

“Alrighty then! Little critters ought to be ready for shearing at any rate!”

“Suu predicts this encounter will surmise to a 66% chance of success.”

Entering the textile pens after yesterday’s bout, Chizu and Cream, the two former cows and the former slime attempted to reacquaint themselves with the local animals. Key word being “attempted”.

“C’mere, goats!”

*BAAAHHHH!!!*

*scurry* *scurry*

“…uh…? C’mere sheep!”

*MAAAHHHH!!!*

*scurry* *scurry*

“What’s going on? They were so friendly with me before…”

“Suu believes that since you now have Rachnera’s body, which as a reminder scared the farm creatures here previously, they’re petrified from your existence.”

“Hawhaaatt!!? So lame! Don’t be frightened, little critters! Cream here won’t hurt ya a single bit!”

*MAAARRRGGGHHH!!!*

“Wait, DON’T GO CHARGING AT ME--”

*smack!*

“WOAH!”

*crash!*

“Is my comrade quite alright?”

“Urrgghh…that usually doesn’t cause so much pain…”

Multiple sheep and goats somehow coordinated an attack on Cream, knocking her over with more force than her newly lithe spider body could handle.

“Perhaps Suu could try wrestling with these lesser lifeforms? She still has access to the hair tentacles on her head…”

“Hold fast, Suu! Pressuring the animals too much may cause us to never collect their vaulted wool!”

“Hmm…taking the non-aggressive approach leaves Suu considerably less options to work with…”

Debating within their ranks, Chizu and Suu sat in thought on how to tackle this problem as Cream recovered from her crummy concussion.

“Blergh…something tells me that Cathyl’s assignment was a load of hooey!”

“The random probability via your boss’s method didn’t tip the cow over on that one?” Suu construed.

“Ack…! I suppose not…”

*Maaahhh~* *Baaahhh~*

“Hmm? My fluffy comrades…they’re flocking to me with greater ease than expected!”

Nuzzling their horns gently against Chizu’s foal body, she had amassed more than a few by her side.

“Hey Chizu! Why’re they going to you so readily?!?”

“Your assessment is as valid as mine own, I’ve not a clue either.” The honest horse-cow wondered aloud.

“Think, you two! Suu doesn’t find it odd that barnyard animals would naturally make one of their own comfortable given the blunt one’s horse-like form.”

“Ohhhhh! I get ya!”

“That’s a slime for you! Intelligent beyond mere mortal compare!”

“Not particularly. It was a standard deduction on Suu’s part.”

Forgoing any other brain teasers, Suu instructed Cream to gather the necessary tools for their upcoming handiwork.

“Got ‘em right here for ya!”

“Reckon pardon that you’re a real deal, pal!”

“(…why does Suu deal with these low functioning organisms again?)”

Her own personal notions aside, Suu then passed off half of the shearing tools to the bovine equine.

“Keep those glowy peepers of yours on my crafty arms, alright Suu?”

*Baaahhhh…*

“Shhh, it will be okay now. Stay put and allow my hands the honor of doing the conversation.”

“…Suu doesn’t get it.”

The slime-faced cow furrowed her gelatin brows in confusion, but observed the swift, steady, and overall pleasant wool cut done by Chizu with attentive eyes regardless. After a few minute’s time…

“Marvelous! Thank you for your cooperation, my soft sheep friend!”

*Maaahhhh*

With a bleating cry of approval, the freshly shaved sheep walked back to it’s pen.

“Wow Chizu! Even with a different body under your control you still made that look easy!”

“T’was a minor alteration of skill! Luckily for us Ms. Liquid’s companion was one of the stronger folk I could have been placed upon, thus I easily adapted and overcome my debilitating lack of muscle!”

“Suu’s ear canals are set to bubble over from you being too talkative.”

Setting her sights on a goat near the gooey dairy provider, she slowly brought her toned arms towards the fluffy farm animal.

*Baaahhhh?*

“Err…fret not, corporeal biological being. This is a routine application of trimming that Suu will be performing on you.”

*Baaahhhh…*

A cry that signified ‘why not?’ lead Suu to plopping the goat on her thick, padded legs, covered up by her patchy and well-worn overalls.

“(Suu’s used her transformation powers to imitate human hands before. How tough could it be to snip some wool?)”

*poke!*

*BAAAHHHH?!?*

One turn from the goat’s head revealed a sour look from its unorthodox eyes, piercing the slime’s exterior and causing Suu to turn away from the barnyard buddy in shame.

“Ah…please alleviate yourself of Suu’s earlier mistake.”

*Baaharumph!*

Allowing for another try, the goat faced forward once more.

*snip!* *trim!* *cut!*

“(That’s right…keep your cool, Suu…)”

“Right on, Suu!”

“Yeehaw! Shear them to the extreme, ya swampy weirdo!”

“(…although, Suu’s cool is fit to blow over if the peanut gallery keeps interjecting…)”

*trim!* *cut!* *snip!*

And finally…

“Phew! One dose of concentrated goat shearing completed!”

*Baaahhhh…*

The result wasn’t quite as professional looking as Chizu’s, yet the goat seemed satisfied enough despite the slime’s amateurish efforts and trotted to its pen without clamor.

“Not bad for your first try! I’ll have to admonish myself for not believing in you initially.”

“Hmph! She just got lucky! If I wasn’t repulsing the critters out at the moment I’d have done better than her by a long shot!” The spider-cow glanced away from the other two girls with a pout on her pale face.

“Do not bemoan yourself to us, Cream. You simply got the short end of the stick having the slime’s webbed compadre as your body is all.”

“Mmmm….I hate this! What do I gotta do to make them like me more?”

Staring down the last few farm folk, Cream carefully lowered herself and saddled up next to them.

“Now now, little critters. Maybe if I wrap you up in my new silk you’ll stay put Just. For. Me~?”

*MAAAAHHHH!!!* *BAAAAHHHH!!!*

Skittering away faster than a catapulted cannonball, they ran amok all over the textile pens in worry!

“Argh! Don’t run away from me! It was only a joke!”

“Shhhh…please don’t go out of control…”

*MAAAhuh?*

“That scary lady over there can’t harm you in my presence…”

*Baaahhh?*

“Trust me, you’re going to be absolutely fine, okay~?”

*Maaahhhh…* *Baaahhhh…*

By some grace of good fortune, Suu’s calming aura placated the panicking peons of the pasture!

“Hoorah! That was some mighty fine gentleness just now! Are you secretly a soothsayer?” Chizu asked of the slime.

“Suu…or rather I only did what was natural after all~”

“Haha! Such a serene soul! As for YOU Cream…what do you have to say for yourself?”

“…sorry I guess…?”

“Come off it now, Cream! We shant be anymore delayed lest we ruffle the fur of these animals further!”

Suu and Chizu then made themselves useful with their peaceful vibes, snipping the ranch citizens of their high-valued wool. Meanwhile, Cream sat in the corner rather dejected at the state of things. Eventually, one by one the sheep and goats were trimmed of all their wool!

“I only needed to be firm, yet kind with them and they were like putty in my hands! (Strange…Suu hasn’t felt this motherly in a long time…was it something in the water here?)”

“Glad to see you took this so seriously! More than I can say for our third wheel that is... (Ugh! I’ll have to increase my duties to reconcile this blunder! And yet is this really that big of a deal…?)”

“Well it ain’t easy trying to do stuff with these sharp claws of mine! (What a hard ass! She should loosen up a bit if she ever wants to be treated with respect! Oh well, I can always practice some new bondage techniques on her body…right?)”

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

“Alrighty then you two. Hop to it and start cleaning up the room.”

“And exactly what are we supposed to be doing anyways, ya melodramatic minotaur?”

“Err, m-mayhaps I should serve as an arbitrator betwixt this minor dispute?”

The final group of Cahyl, Rachnera, and Mero were beginning their assigned projects and undergoing a drastic prospect; inter communicative inquiries.

“You don’t gotta butt in for me. I make the rules around here and can just as easily dish the tasks to be done accordingly.”

“That’s all fine and dandy, but WE DON’T KNOW HOW!”

“Weren’t you paying attention earlier? On top of what the sheep do for us on the administrative side, us minotaurs have to fix the beds up, pack up dirty laundry, and inspect the other major maintenance fields we sent our mates out to do.”

“Oh goodness! That IS a hearty number of chores to accomplish in such little time!” Mero pointed out."

“Usually it wouldn’t be an issue, however I’m kind of tied up with having the tail-end of this head swap madness. Best I can do is direct you two chumps in my place.” Cathyl snorted from a kiddy pool hastily set up during the interim of the chaos prior.

“I see now, why didn’t you say so? When it comes to upkeep I’m no slouch in making myself a productive member of the household!”

“Are you certain? Last time I visited your room at our place it was filled to the brim with--”

“SHHHHH! PRODUCTIVE. MEMBER.”

“…yes, of course.”

Taking the hint and hushing up, the Mermaid stood on her tan goat hooves, slightly more accustomed to the idea of walking on two legs than before. Now that she was on foot, Mero initiated the process of bed-making.

“I’m curious, Cathyl-San; do all of you sleep in the same room every day? Cause there’s an insurmountable amount of bunks to clean up of junk!”

“These barracks may not look like much, even so all of us do indeed sleep together. It’s not too unthinkable really if you compare our living conditions to a military garrison. Not that our jobs even come close to that level of stress, a few of us would likely fall apart from the pressure.”

“Gracious! I never had to share a room with anybody before! I’ve been fortunate enough to live in my abode stranger-free all my life, so to see an avenue like this with so many different people in it leaves me with plenty of other hypotheticals!”

“Aren’t YOU Ms. Lucky. Not all of us get the opportunity of massive square feet per room all to ourselves.” Rachnera chimed in, working on her own bed in tandem with revealing a bit of her past.

“Ah! Forgive my negligence in that regard! It’s bad faith to knock below the belt as it were, and since we’re all wearing overalls that line is pretty evident.”

“Eh, why would that be your fault? I ain’t one to judge lifestyles harshly without reason or unless I’m in a pissed off mood.” The cow-fish confided, crossing her webbed arms.

Nodding in agreement, Mero and Rachnera continued to put on blankets, sheets, and covers of all kinds. A few highlights of the bedspread designs included Miru’s cutesy cow print quilt, Cream’s ice cream blanket, Chizu’s katana covered sheets, Cara’s teddy-bear pillows, and Ruto’s scarlet colored throw-over.

“Not bad so far. Next up is to get rid of the dirty clothes littered all over the place by your friends.”

“Hang on a minute, shouldn’t THEY be the ones to not go trashing the room as guests? Why do we have to clean up their mess?” The milk-spider pondered.

“Would you rather pay room dishevelment fees for being such rude guests?”

“Grgh…not really.”

“If it’s monetary compensation you need, then just say the word and I can convince mother to spare a couple million!”

“If you gave the ranch that much money as a donation, Mr. Creepy Director would keel over from shock.” Rachnera chided.

“Hmm, we’ll get back to you on that one.”

“WHY ARE YOU SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING THIS?!?”

After chortling some more, Mero finished guffawing and picked up the dirty clothes in earnest. Rachnera then started in turn when she noticed and picked up a spare bra off the ground.

“(Jesus, this thing is HUGE…I’m surprised that they can even find underwear that fit them half the time with the way their bodies are built. Although I’m one to talk; I’m pretty sure that’ll *sigh* soon be MINE instead.)”

Disregarding the “over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder” she would soon have to come to terms with, the chitinous cow dropped it into a spare laundry basket outside the bunker’s hallway. She also came across her “old garb” at the bed where she slept last night.

“(Man, I’m gonna miss how small I was back then. Can’t believe I can even say that at all really…ack! Stop getting so excited, Rachnera!)”

Her nipples were poking through the jean-like material on her overstuffed massive chest. It took all the willpower in the world to keep such horny thoughts to herself as she put her original clothes in the same hamper with the rest of the dirty laundry. This went on for a few moments more until at long last…

“Could have been worse.”

All the undesirables were tucked away in the laundry bins to be taken by a sheep girl later on.

“(Thanks for getting off your lazy ass and helping us out, cud-brain!)” Rachnera angrily grinding her teeth internally.

“Now that our rooms are looking to be presentable enough let’s go and check up on the others, shall we?” Cathyl concluded, beckoning to the wheelchair at the edge of the room.

“Sure thing, Cathyl-San!” Mero brought said device over to the cow-fish and hoisted her onto it with ease.

“(Never could I have imagined being the one to do this for somebody else…is this one of those ‘shoe on the other foot’ moments I’ve heard so much of?)”

“So are you gonna get pushing, or am I gonna have to get pushy with you?”

“Ulp! Right away, Cathyl-San!”

“Don’t cow-tow to her every demand just yet, Mero. She’s not royalty, you know.” Rachnera advised.

“Still, it’s in our best interests to not dilly-dally!”

Traversing the hallway with Cathyl in her grasp, the mer-goat propelled her wheelchair towards the rest of her remaining entourage, Rachnera following suit not too far behind.

“…okay, fine. I guess I’ll beseech to you the privilege of receiving praise from me. You two did a splendid job out there, and don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise. (The hell’s goin on with me being so nice and formal? They didn’t do anything out of the ordinary…)”

“Mhm, thank you, thank you. Maybe we should get something nice as our reward. I’m thinking something along the lines of…a lacy pair of panties! (Why would I ever say something like that?!? Then again, I’m fancying the likelihood of tipping this wheelchair over and making a run for it…no! That would lead to abject hatred! Still…it’s a funny thought…at least, it should be…?)”

“GYAAHH! M-M-Mero!! T-That’s way too l-l-lewd to just ask out loud! (Since when did I become such a prude? Except…isn’t that sort of question too personal to delve into? I out of everyone should know the feeling…I think?)

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

“Oh hey Mero, Ruto, and Saane! Glad to see you three could finally make it to lunch!”

“What the hell-heck are you talking about? I’m Cathyl, you boneheaded new hire! (Aren’t I?)”

“Ahaha, that’s what the rest have been saying all day too. Seems like the game this time is pretending to be someone else for the weekend.”

Similar to last night, Darling had used the block of time during chore completion to prepare ingredients for a variety of zesty foodstuffs for his harem and the cowgirls alike and was just about to start cooking.

“Well H-Honey…this isn’t a g-game at all! P-P-Please get the dumbassery-ear wax out of y-your ears or else y-y-you’ll be tied up-sorry!(Wait, I didn’t say that?)”

“Oh dear! Guess I’ll have to be more careful around you than I thought, Ruto!”

“Speaking of the others, where in the world-hell are those busybodies-freeloaders anyways? (Ack! Such foul language! Or is it…)”

“Hello Darling! In case you were wondering-inquiring the status of where we were, our food-produce just came in!”

“Yippee! Milord’ll be so pleased that we’ve-scrapped up a wild feast of foodies for him!”

“Awfully cheery, aren’t we Chizu and Cream? I’m sure the two of you helped to pick us some high quality materials!”

“Don’t forget about us, Mr. New Hire! Cara and I also snagged some wheat and grains-just for you~”

“Tch. I-Cara didn’t do anything special. It was just a lucky-probability of avoiding failure.”

“Yeah right! Miia wouldn’t have been able to do this alone without your help, Suu!”

Placing the wheat and veggies on the table, Darling got to work chopping and dicing the appetizers.

“(Since when did Miia speak so eloquently, and Cerea so chipper?) Mero was puzzled out of her mind.”

“Papi’s-I’m back. Her-our job wasn’t-so successful…”

“Indeed, the vulnerability was-THEIR FAULT! We should have acclimated ourselves to-BEING LESS STUPID!”

“I’m-Ruto’s feeling pretty full from drinking though! She’s super harpy…pappy…peppy…?”

“Is that so? Don’t worry about it, Papi!  As long as you got some of Cara and Cathyl’s…milk…*cough* we SHOULD be okay!”

Bickering notwithstanding, the human retrieved the dairy from the two tapped out calcium creators and poured some into glasses for later.

“(Ruto’s speaking gibberish? That’s a tad suspicious, I think. Hmm..) Cathyl deliberated with eyes closed.”

“Mr. New Hire! We’ve managed to wrangle the-fear and insecurity out of all the sheep and goats!”

“Hmph! It was but-a valiant coordination that lead us to acquiring the particulars!”

“Could you two please be quieter-less loud for Suu-me?”

“And the last of us have arrived! Rachnera, Cerea, and Miru can sit at the end of the table.”

Darling had moved onto the main courses; various veggies, mouthwatering meats, and a surplus of snacks laid abound fit for all kinds of diets to eat afterwards.

“(Come on, Honey! My body is literally right there being piloted by some low-tier seductress!) Rachnera fumed.”

“Soup’s on, girls! Eat whatever you’d like!”

For now at least, their worries would soon slowly dissipate…

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

*knock* *knock*

“Who is it?”

“It’s me, your younger sister Lilith!”

“Haaah? What are YOU doing back here so soon? I thought they assigned you the ‘joy’ of keeping watch over that retarded farm and even more retarded harem of that human’s!”

“At least let me in before you start shit-talking me to the ends of the Earth, big sis Lilim~”

“Ugh! Whatever!”

Unlocking the double-oak doors to their mansion, the unknown “big sis” was considerably taller, with bigger wings, and long blonde hair. She also had much bustier cleavage to contrast with her younger sisters, a brown jacket exposed it to the public view, and a very short green skirt. Finally, she had blue horns like Lilith, long tube socks showing off her luscious legs, and a few wristbands along the length of her arms. She was a Greater Devil, and she was as cranky as one would expect from an older delinquent.

“I…uh…also brought over a new friend-turned-lover…? Ahaha…”

“Yoooo big lady! If I wasn’t already hitched with this little troublemaker I’d definitely try to woo you!”

*BASH!*

“OWWWWW!!!”

“Yeeeah you deserved that big time, Saane.”

“Bah! Fucking dumbass weirdo! Anyways, I see you’ve brought ‘the goods’. Guess you aren’t completely inept.” Lilim massaged her temples in frustration as she begrudgingly let the two dopey tan girls in.

“Thanks for the praise, big sis Lilim! But why did you want that she-reaper’s scythe anyways?”

“Don’t ask me; it’s all the whims of Mother Proserpine.”

“Urgh…nice place you’ve got here, Lilith…” Coming back to consciousness, Saane’s eyes took in the atmosphere of the intricately decorated adornments littered throughout the alcoves of the huge house.

“(It’s less fun here than you’d think, Saane…) The lesser devil whispered to her newly-minted lover.”

“Right, let’s just get this over with.” Lilim took charge and paraded the younger two within the eerie passages. Candle-lit lamps allowed some light to be present, but this was definitely a dwelling meant for demons instead. At the end of one incredibly long corridor, a pair of large metal doors made themselves apparent.

*bang!* *bang!* *bang!*

“OPEN UP, MOM!! LITTLE SIS GREW A BRAIN SMART ENOUGH TO BRING THE GOODS!!”

“Silence.”

“Ack…!”

“(Woah, even a rude buster like Lilith’s big sis stopped being so rancid. Their mom must be a big shot!)”

“You may enter.”

“Yes, ma’am!”

The obvious cue gave the three girls clearance into the devil mother’s domain.

“I do hope that you haven’t disappointed me.”

Sitting at the other end of the room in an elegant throne was a lady-no, woman of impeccable stature. If Lilith and Lilim’s skin was akin to chocolate, then their mother’s was closer to burnt mocha. With purple horns and gigantic wings alike, and a carmine free-flowing dress baring nigh near every part of her body aside from nipples and genitals she was simultaneously classy yet lewd. The black high heels and fuzzy pink arm cuffs only added to her appearance. Proserpine was one of the very few Elder Devils in existence, and a being that garnered only the highest of admiration.

“H-Here’s the scythe, Mother!”

“Hmm…yes, this is indeed the apparatus used by that disgustingly annoying reaper girl. A sufficient job done, Lilith.”

“T-T-Thank you, Mother!”

“As for YOU Lilim, I sentence you to cleaning the manor until you physically drop from exhaustion.”

“WHAT?!?”

“You heard me. Now get to it before I lop off one of your horns for not playing backup on Lilith’s recon mission.”

“GRRGGHH!!”

Left with no choice, the older sister vacated the premises in search of cleaning supplies.

“Introduce yourself, Vessel of Baphomet.”

“(Is she talking about me?) A-Ah! Miss, I am Saane, and I helped your daughter steal the scythe at the Black Lily Ranch. Forgive me for not making myself known earlier.”

“It is of no concern to you. What matters is that soon my plan will at long last come into fruition.”

“I-If you’re alright with me asking Mother, what exactly IS your goal?”

“My sweet daughter, is it not the full moon tonight? Even you must be aware of what that means for our powers, lest we forget that your ‘friend’ now has the mortal coil of whom I detest so much?”

“(Crap, she’s not affected by the spell?!? Major red flags right there!) Saane was sweating bullets at the revelation.

“Ufufufu, don’t you know? A piddly spell cast by Lilith would never mentally affect a higher devil like me so of course I’d catch onto that little secret of yours, and especially on a night like this~.”

“(Sorry Saane! I didn’t think this through enough!) Mother, any transgressions caused by Saane shouldn’t be the focal point of tonight’s meeting, right?”

“Very well. I’m in a good mood from your victory, so I’ll over look this slight for now. But don’t get commoners involved in your schemes like this again, understood?”

“Yes Mother.”

“Good. In a couple scant hours the world as we know it will be shuffled around for maximum chaos…”

“(Uhhh, did I accidentally become an accomplice of a truly vile monster?) Saane was nearly passing out, and for a valid reason; things were about to get much, much worse…
