A Young Griff's Life With Monster Girls

…

Chapter 1

Aegon VI Targaryen adjusted the loops of the plastic bags in his hands as he exited the bakery.

"Thank you for your patronage!" cried out the young teenage girl with shoulder length brown hair and a smile that didn't quite reach dark eyes. Aegon smiled back in return and left the bakery and stepped into the stunningly calm market place of the inner city. The cool breeze that flowed through the city was quite refreshing and the slowly dying sun caressed the cooling grey asphalt in rays of gold, orange and yellow. Aegon stepped aside to let an elderly woman with greying hair pass him. He caught the look of disapproval in the woman's eyes as she passed him and heard her mutter "Gaijin," under her breath as she stepped into the bakery.

Aegon sighed and began his mile long trek to his home.

Aegon found himself in this strange world a little over three months ago when a red comet appeared in the night sky one night. He had found himself in an alleyway and not long there after he was found by one Kuroko Smith. Kuroko Smith, or Ms Smith a she insisted had brought Aegon to her superiors where he was questioned on who he was and where he had come from. Aegon told them what he knew and who he was and it was decided that he would be put under Ms Smith's supervision due to his unique nature as an "EXD" which Ms Smith told him mean Extra-Dimensional as he was from another dimension.

In truth, there was a lot about this world that astounded Aegon. From the level of technology, the cultures and languages, the food and most fascinatingly, liminals or monsters.

In the past couple of decades in this world, the existence of liminals had been revealed to the public. For the most part, liminals, demi-humans and monsters had been embraced with open arms by countries like Japan, but others had been resistant to it and some religious institutions called for the extermination and ostracising of liminals. With the reveal of liminals, there had been changes in society from stores and housing to societal and attitude changes.

Of course, there were still those who were resistant to such changes as Aegon spied a couple openly making some rather rude remarks to a group of liminals being led by a Kobold. One of the newest laws since liminals had been revealed was that it was forbidden for liminals to attack humans, and some humans took advantage of such a law to make rude and racist comments about liminals just as the couple Aegon saw were doing now. Aegon was tempted to march across to the racist couple and break their jaws for such remarks, but it wasn't his business.

Sighing to himself, Aegon walked to the house he been given as part of his allowance that Ms Smith had given him. Due to his unique nature (Valyrian features not withstanding) and the nature of his arrival, Aegon was given a fairly handsome allowance to live on as well as a nice house to live in. In return, Aegon was to allow the scientists study and question him, but he drew the line at them putting the forward the idea of vivisecting him to ascertain whether his physiology was different from theirs. He was fine with giving them a blood or hair sample, but to cut him open while he still breathed? Madness! And Ms Smith agreed as well.

Since his arrival, Aegon had taken the time to learn the language of Japan and its customs so as to fit in better and not out himself as an EXD. One of the things he had been told was that it was illegal to carry a sword in public and the sword Aegon had with him when he arrived in this world was no exception. The sword Aegon had was no common steel or even castle forged steel sword; it was in actual fact the Valyrian steel sword of Aegon the Conqueror, his ancestor. It had been a gift from the Cheesemonger shortly before Aegon found himself in Japan.

Aegon felt a little uncomfortable with the fact that he was going everywhere practically unarmed, he conceded that the people of Japan, despite the culture pertaining to the Samurai Warriors of centuries past, would feel ill at ease seeing someone armed with a real sword. He discreetly asked Ms Smith if there was a way he could be allowed to carry his sword around and she said she'd look into it.

Reaching the two-storey house that was his home, at least until he found a way back home, Aegon unlocked the front gate, walked down the short stone paved path to his front door and entered the house. Flicking on the lights and entering the kitchen, Aegon packed away his groceries, but set some aside to make the fixings of his evening meal.

Turning on the TV, Aegon was greeted with a the afternoon news report. Another thing that fascinated Aegon about this world was how people could watch or listen to news reports and current affairs from the comfort of their own homes. Letting the news anchor's voice filled the background with white noise, Aegon took out one of the cook books from the shelving and opened the index to look for a recipe that would make him his evening meal.

Then a familiar voice made itself known in Aegon's house.

"Good afternoon, Aegon-san."

Aegon turned around to see Ms Smith standing in the hallway passage, her ever present playful smile on her face and her black shades perched on the bridge of her nose.

"Ms Smith. To what do I owe this pleasure?" Aegon asked as he turned back around to look at the list of recipes.

"Oh, I was in the neighbourhood and decided to check up on my favourite EXD," Smith replied casually as she walked into the kitchen and took a seat at the countertop and looked at Aegon expectantly. Aegon sighed as he knew what Smith was after; he had quickly learned that Smith was a shameless freeloader who would drop by his house almost every day to either have her laundry done or bum a free meal or a cup of coffee from him. Such things irked Aegon but given that Smith was the first person who found him in this world, she was to an extent the first friend he had in this world, as well as being the one who provided him a place to call home. Flicking on the kettle, Aegon opened the pantry cupboard and took out a jar of instant coffee, a sachet of sugar substitute and a mug before opening the fridge and taking out the bottle of cold milk.

Once the water in the kettle had reached boiling point, Aegon put a teaspoon of instant coffee into the coffee mug and poured some boiling water into the mug. Once the granules of instant coffee dissolved thoroughly turning the hot water into a dark shade, Aegon tore open a sugar substitute sachet and poured the contents into it before adding a touch of milk to the concoction, turning the liquid into a pale brown colour. Handing the coffee to Smith, Aegon went back to his recipe book. Smith took a slow sip of the coffee and gave an appreciative moan.

"Have I ever told you that you make a mean coffee, Aegon-san?" the dark haired woman said to him playfully.

"You could stand to mention more, Ms Smith," Aegon said dryly as he picked a recipe that suited the ingredients he had bought earlier. "Is there a reason that you're here?" he asked calmly as he began to cut and dice vegetables into smaller pieces and took out a wok that he placed on the stovetop.

"Can't a girl drop by to visit a handsome young man?" Smith replied, her hand placed over her heart in faux-innocence.

"You can, but I know you well enough by now to know you always have some sort of agenda," Aegon stated as he poured a little oil into the wok and turned on the gas flame. "And you're not just here for a free meal," he then said pointedly.

"Well, I am here on official business, Mr Targaryen," Smith admitted, that maddeningly playful smile still on her lips. "How would you feel about having a houseguest?" she asked.

Aegon looked at her sharply, wondering what the woman was getting at. "And who would I being playing host to?" he enquired.

"Well, a lovely young woman named Miia is a part of the Student Exchange Program and is looking for a place to call home for a while," Smith said. "Originally, there was a host family to take her in, but they suddenly had to leave for reasons unknown to me," she added.

"And where do I fit into this?" Aegon asked his purple-blue eyes narrowing at Smith.

"Well, I'm sure you're quite lonesome in this cosy little house with lots of room," Smith replied enticingly. "And I figured you could use some company while you're here," she said with a smile.

"And if I say no?" Aegon asked.

"Well, I'm sure we could find another host family willing to take Miia in," Smith replied easily. "But would you really want to be known as an anti-social loner?" she teased.

Aegon sighed irritably before asking, "What time?"

"Does tomorrow at noon suit you?" Smith asked with a triumphant smile on her lips and Aegon nodded reluctantly.

Smith stayed for the next hour to enjoy her free dinner before taking her leave. Aegon put the leftover food into air-tight containers, putting them in the fridge before cleaning up after himself and Smith. After cleaning up the kitchen, Aegon headed to his bedroom, undressed himself out of the clothes he wore today and dressed himself in a pair of sleeping pants and a plain cotton shirt and climbed into bed.

"Damn that woman," he muttered to himself before surrendering to sleep.

…

The Next Day.

Aegon waited for when Smith and his new houseguest would arrive. His morning had been disrupted when builders showed up at his doorstep with paperwork saying they were here to do some renovations for his houseguest. Aegon was now wondering who his houseguest was to need renovations done to his home. The builders quickly worked and made a lot of noise in the process but they had quickly finished and left, leaving Aegon a mound of paperwork to sign. The bathroom had been renovated to include a large pool sized bathtub and the lavatories had been changed as well.

Aegon was finishing signing all the paperwork when he heard Smith's voice at the front door.

"Oh, Aegon-san, we've arrived~!" Opening the front door, Aegon's eyes widened in surprise when he saw who or what his houseguest was.

His houseguest was a young woman with long bright red hair with golden orange eyes and wearing some fashionable clothing, but the most shocking thing about her was that instead of a pair of human legs, she had long thick scaly snake tail that started from her wide hips and coiled around in a pile. Aegon then noted that the girl's irises weren't human pupils but vertical ones like a snake's and she had two red scales on each cheek of her face. A timid smile was on the girl's lips as she looked at Aegon. Smith stood beside the girl and spoke, "Aren't you going to invite us in, Aegon-san?" she asked mock-offended.

Aegon allowed them inside and they were seated around the dining table, where Smith explained the situation to Aegon that Miia was a Lamia, a mono-gendered liminal race of snake-women and was part of the Student Exchange Program. Smith also went over the rules of human-liminal relations with Aegon, a prominent rule being no intimate/physical or otherwise sexual relations being allowed. Aegon listened to Smith intently when he noticed Miaa shivering slightly; guessing that the Lamia was cold, Aegon left the room briefly to go down the hallway to the hallway cupboard and retrieve something.

…

Miia watched as her host left the room and a feeling of despair filled her chest and she looked at Smith and whispered, "He hates me, doesn't he?" she asked sadly.

Smith made to reply something assuring when Aegon entered the room with a woollen blanket in his arms and wrapped it around Miia's shoulders.

"Here," he said to her softly. "Don't want you catching a cold," he added as he resumed his seat. Miia touched the woollen blanket, a touched look on her face as she regarded her host in a new light.

Ms Smith then explained to Aegon that due to being reptilian in nature, Lamia were cold-blooded and required heat to remain functional. Otherwise, if the temperature was too low or even outright below freezing, a Lamia could enter a state of hibernation or even die from the cold. Aegon nodded his head the whole time and said he would do his best to make sure Miia would be comfortable in his home.

Smith left after receiving a takeaway cup of coffee and a sandwich, and Miia looked at her host and said to him. "Hello, Mr Targaryen. I'm happy that you have accepted me into your home. I will do my best to make sure I won't burden you," she said to him respectfully.

"I am pleased to have you in my home, Ms Miia," Aegon replied respectfully with a smile on his face and Miia's heart fluttered at seeing just how boyishly handsome Aegon was when he smiled. "I don't profess to know a lot about liminals, so it'll be a learn as we go process," he said modestly.

"I will do my best to educate you, Mr Targaryen!" Miia said eagerly and Aegon nodded in reply.

Aegon then took Miia on a tour of his home and showed her the room she would be staying in. Miia asked where his room was, Aegon showed the door to his room and told her that if she needed anything, just ask. Miia then asked the question; was he seeing or dating anyone?

Aegon had been a little surprised and confused by the question but said that he wasn't seeing anyone and Miia had a pleased smile on her face as some ideas danced through her head.

After the tour of the house, Aegon and Miia then went grocery shopping for food that a Lamia like Miia could eat before taking a stroll through the park. They had been stopped by a Bicycle Cop asking if Aegon was Miia's hostfamily to which Aegon confirmed that he was and showed the relevant paperwork before they were allowed to continue their afternoon stroll.

Returning home, Aegon prepared a simple meal of boiled eggs for Miia which she gratefully ate and exclaimed that Aegon was a good cook which Aegon confessed he was still learning how to. After watching the evening news and a re-run of a sitcom, they then headed to bed. Miia dressed her human half in some liminal friendly pyjamas and settled into her heated bed.

"Aegon is such a nice man," she murmured to herself then a devilish smile graced her lips. "Now to make him all mine!" A giggle escaped Miia as she snuggled under the duvet and went to sleep.

TO BE CONTINUED…

A/N: There! The first chapter of this story done! I know it's a little short, but it's just to set things up and the next will be something of a timeskip of Miia having settled in and if you're familiar with her character, she'll be making bold moves on Aegon such as but not limited to sneaking into his bedroom in the morning to cuddle next to him as well as fliting the bejesus out of him! I'm still learning about Monster Musume; I've watched the anime barring the OVA but I haven't read any of the manga but I am doing some research on the Wiki such as the characters and all that.

And I've set up a romance poll for this story and so far, Smith is sharing first place with Daenerys and that could be interesting to see a romantic relationship between Aegon and the Freeloader that could start off as professional gradually becoming friendly as Smith spends time with Aegon before becoming more intimate. Although what kind of professional relationship Aegon has with Smith would depend on what kind of job he takes to pay the bills once the rest of the "harem" shows up. Maybe something to do with human crimes on liminals such as rescue missions and so forth? If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to send them.

And that's about the sum total of things, so I'll just leave this here and see what you all think. Feedback and suggestions are appreciated.

Be kind to one another,

Angry lil' elf.
