Monster Musume: Everyday Life with a Monster Host

By: Terrence Noran

Chapter 1: The "Normal" Day

"Mornings...I love mornings."

That is the line of a certain person who stared at his window after waking up. He slowly walked over to the bathroom and opened the door.

To his surprise, he saw a huge golden tail in the massive bathtub and a mop of equally colored hair near it. He smiled a little before saying, "Good morning, Fan."

The mentioned blonde turned around and, with a slightly red face, smiled. "Zǎo shàng hǎo, Kai! I see you're up early today."

"Well, someone has to make breakfast."

"Mou~, I can cook too, you know."

"We can't have boiled eggs or Chinese food everyday. Besides, I want to cook something for you this time."

"Oh, thank you!" Fan's tail grabbed Kai and plunged him into the hot water. He struggled to breathe as Fan was enjoying herself before realizing her action. She immediately got him out of the water and set him on the floor. She tried to resuscitate him but his hand held her mouth before she lowered herself to his face.

"N...no t-thanks. I...I'm o...kay.", he coughed out, trying to relieve Fan but, instead, only worried her even more.

Later

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Zhēn duì bù qǐ! Qǐng yuán liàng!", said Fan, bowing over and over again.

"No, it's fine. I didn't get burned all the way through, just my head, shoulders, and...maybe the top half of my body. Other than that, I can recover from this.", Kai said, looking away slightly since Fan's cleavage could be seen while she was bowing. He changed his clothing after the incident, wearing a blue striped shirt and black jogging pants. What was more noticeable is the pinkish red skin color which he received from said incident.

Kai is like most people, normal. Until, the Interspecies Exchange Bill happened, making humanity discover more different species outside of their own. A few weeks later, the Interspecies Homestay Program was implemented, forcing him to become one of the many people to house one or more extra-species given to them by the Cultural Exchange Coordinator. Well, "dumped" is the most likely word to describe his predicament...even though he didn't regret it. The coordinator that was assigned to him also handled another host family like himself, and she was both amazing and utterly terrible at her job. And get this, they switched the assigned liminals, resulting in him getting Fan...when he was supposed to be given a lamia while the other one would receive Fan, a Huang Long or a Chinese dragon. The coordinator assured him that the mistake would be fixed, only it didn't. She didn't come back...leaving him with his liminal guest.

He had to live with it, and to be honest, it wasn't that bad. Sure, he would get injured here and there...but it was unintentional. She can cook...but only limits herself to Chinese food and/or eggs. And the best of all, she can speak Japanese. He probably knew this wouldn't be impressive at other people's standpoint, but to him, it was a pretty great deal since he couldn't speak Chinese whenever Fan would start speaking it. She told him that she studied the Japanese language and part of the culture before coming to this country. So, she's here to learn more about the culture and city life...and, how to interact with people as well. And plus, the government is providing the budget anyway...in repairs, bills, expansions, food, allowance...basically almost everything! The only rule is don't break the law, which is divided into multiple sub-laws. There is another addition to the rule as well. Do not take her virginity, don't get her married, don't pop her cherry, don't get too sexually romantic with your extra-species partner, and, do NOT ever put your penis into her untampered vagina or there will direct consequences like deportation...for the liminals.

We are now being taken out of exposition for continuation of plot.

A doorbell rang, surprising the both of them. Fan slithered to the door and opened. "Oh, nín hǎo, Coordinator-san."

"Why, hello to you too, Fan Long. Is he around?", the coordinator said.

"Yeah, he's around. What do you want, Smith?", Kai asked.

"Well, we lost the harpy...but we have the replacement. Come out, Haru."

A white haired girl walked down the transport and stood in front of them. She wore a white sleeveless shirt, white bomber jacket, and blue torn-up jeans. Her wings are white but the tips are dark brown. She tilted her head to the side, examining the man in front of her. "This is him? I thought he'd be more...normal than most people."

"Hey, I'm normal. This is just the effect of my impromptu hot bath, and my skin is the result.", he said sarcastically.

Haru smiled. "I like him. I want to stay here."

"This is Haru, a raptor harpy.", Smith said.

"Oh, another carnivore, huh?" He leaned in closer to Smith's ear and whispered, "Are you sure that she doesn't forget anything in three steps?"

"We Raptor Harpies are superior and smarter than them, so you do not need to worry about me forgetting anything.", Haru explained.

"Ho-", he tried to ask.

"Super hearing.", Smith said.

"Oh yeah, raptor senses...forgot."

"Are you sure you're not the harpy here?", Haru teased.

"Not a bird brain, Haru."

"Kai, what's a bird brain?", Fan asked, confused.

"Oh, that's...uh..."

"It means he's stupid.", Haru said bluntly.

"Don't ever call Kai stupid! Shăzi!" Fan yelled angrily.

"Eh?" Haru, confused, cocked her head to the side.

"Fan, she doesn't speak Chinese.", Kai said.

"I don't care! No one insults you!", Fan replied.

"I see that both of you are getting along. So, Kaien-kun...sign here." Smith said, giving him the clipboard. "Oh, by the way, you haven't been sleeping with her, are you?"

"No, why?", Kai replied.

"You know what happens if you do, right?"

"Yeah, I try my best."

"Good for you...now have fun~~.", Smith got into her car, and drove off along with the transport, leaving Kai and two liminals there.

"So, Haru. Come on in, we're just about to cook breakfast.", Kai said, gesturing for the new guest to follow him.

"Good. I'm starving."

A/N: New story, new things again. This is my first try for Monster Musume/Daily Life with a Monster Girl (it's the same thing anyway). OC is Kaien or Kai for short...he is basically like Kurusu (Main Canon Character) and unlike him as well. Well, it depends on how I portray him. The characters Fan and Haru belong to the Monster Musume Online Game, and I'll be integrating some of the girls from both canon and game into this fanfic. Fan will speak Chinese (partially 'cause I also don't speak Chinese) from time to time since she is from China, of course. Translations will be down below, as usual. So, what do you guys think? Read, Review, Critic, and Comment without bullshit. Have fun and enjoy.

Translations:

Zǎo shàng hǎo: Good Morning

Zhēn duì bù qǐ: I'm terribly sorry

Qǐng yuán liàng: Please forgive me

Nín hǎo: Hello (with respect)

Shăzi: Stupid (informal)

I don't own Monster Musume, only OCs.
