Alright readers, as promised this is my first Monster Musume fic I've been hinting at doing. For those of you who are coming from my other story Wings, here it is. This will be a Kimihito x Rachnera story as they are my favorite pair, though after this I might do long ones for Miia or Lala. Also might do one shots or such for Suu and a few others I'm thinking of. Not sure if I can or will write the full harem but I'll just wait till I see how you all feel about this one. Forgive me for spelling errors, first time writing for this catagory, though I've read and love the series. As usual drop a review. Let us begin.
The interspecies exchange program: Something most people never even heard of until it was announced on the news. The once hidden existence of part humans or demihumans, named Liminals, was disregarded so that more peaceful relations could be established between them and humankind. The program was basically akim to that of an exchange students, but the difference was only Liminals were able to travel from their homelands to live in Japan. Humans travelling to their home countries was off limits for now, as the relations between species were still somewhat tense.
However there were those more than willing to accept the new arrivals into their homes, while one didn't even know about being a host until the day a long, dark haired woman names Ms. Smith knocked on the door of one Kimihito Kurusu. He was barely starting breakfast when he let the mysterious government woman in, who asked for coffee before she even told him her reason for being there. Being the kind of person he was, he began making the drink, and had a mug in hand less than two minutes after she entered his kitchen. As she sat on a barstool against his counter he asked the obvious question.
"Sorry if it seems impolite, but why are you here exactly?" He asked as he handed her the mug and tended to his own breakfast, an omlete filled with cheese, spinach, tomato, mushroom and peppers. The woman gave a small smile as she began to explain who she was.
"Please it's fine. My name is Ms. Kuroko Smith, and as a part of the interpecies exchange program it's my job as a coordinator to help ensure new arrivals find suitable hosts. Since I've been looking through your resumé, I found you to be a perfect host family for some of our more..interesting cases. So I'm here-"
"Woah wait, hold on. What resume? I never applied for the program, how would I even qualify?" Kimihito interrupted, and Ms Smith gave a satisfied smirk as she elaborated.
"Your parents enrolled you in it, they must've felt you were lonely as they aren't around Japan, and felt it would do you some good. As legal guardians they've already signed it for you and your resume has been approved, which leads to why I'm here today. I'm here to give you these, and to inform you that you can be expected sometime within a week to be host for a liminal."
And she handed him a tall stack of papers that he saw the heading titled "Interpecies Exchange Renovation program and Regulations Manual." He started to mutter "Renovation?" when Smith spoke up. "Of course, some of the species we're hosting are quite large for normal hallways and rooms. So to compensate we've designed a program to renovate and adjust homes to suit both the host family and the Liminals living with them. Also I'm going to need to go over a few of the finer aspects of this whole thing with You."
'Why did she say that last sentence like that?' Kimihito thought, and voiced his question. "Finer aspects? What do you mean by that?"
Smith smirked as she explains "Some of the girls can get quite frisky if you can understand. Quite alot them start to fall for their hosts, but due to the Interpecies Exchange policies still being worked out into finer details, some things arent separated into their respective sections. So any violent or harmful physical contsct between Liminals and humans are forbidden-"
Kurusu interrupted "I would never-" but Ms Smith finishes her statement with a smirk.
"Which can include sexual contact of any kind. For instance, popping their cherry would still count as physical harm, to which you would be arrested and the liminal deported back to their Homeland."
Kurusu thought to himself with a shocked face 'Are things really that tense? And it's not like I would dare force myself onto someone like that. I'm no pervert!' He starts to voice his thoughts on the subject.
"Listen I'm sure that it won't be a problem, I couldnt-" But Smith cut him off as she rose to stand before him pulling down her glasses to look at him closely. "You would both have the equipment, you could if you wanted and face the consequences. But if your that confident that it won't happen, then I'll take your word for it. Keep in mind I'll be keeping a close eye on you and whoever I bring here, which once you sign this.." as she handed him a sheet and a pen "can range from a few days to a week from now. Before then the construction crew should arrive in about an hour. Don't worry, they'll have the job finished before the guest arrives. I suggest going out for the day, take your mind off it so you can prepare yourself."
Kimihito was still baffled but accepted as he began to sign the documents. For all intents and purposes he was now an elligable host family to an unknown Liminal out there. While he had no problems at all with Liminals since he'd first heard about their existence on the news, he was still in shock that he was going to be hosting one so soon.
'Would he be competent or friendly enough to be accepted by them? Would they enjoy staying here for however long they'd chosen?' These thoughts ran through his heaf and he found himself needing to clear his mind so he could prepare himself and his home for the near future. After Smith left satisfied with her documents in hand, a half hour barely passed when there was yet another knock on the door. As he went to answer it, he saw about a dozen burly men in construction uniforms all bearing the insignia MON on a pocket badge.
"Hello, I'm with the Interspecies Exchange Renovation department and you are one Kurusu Kimihito correct?" The lead workman asked the 20 year old, who nodded with a look on his face that screamed resignation. He responded to the inquiry with a simple answer "That would be me". The crew manager smiled and shook hands with the young man before his fellow workers began filing into the house, carrying hammers and all manners of equipment.
"Don't worry things will be done in a few hours at most, I promise ya. We've been doing this sorta thing since the program began, so we're pretty solid with what we do. Glad to hear more people around this area joining the whole program, nice to see a young fella like you giving people a chance, even if they seem different on the outside."
Kurusu smiled, he liked the man's attitude, as it reminded him of himself. "Thank you for that, and though I wasn't introduced to all this in a more...conventional way, I'm not the kind of person to turn people away for being who they are. I'm glad to help, but I'm just scared that they won't like me, or I won't be a good host.." The man gave him a questioning look with good intentions behind it, and clapped him on the shoulder.
"Nonsense! I got a description of you from Ms Smith just ta make sure you fit the bill. From what I heard, any girl Liminal or not would be lucky to be hosted by a guy like you. Just do what ya can and don't overstress yourself and you'll do just fine. That's the best I can offer ya, and trust me, I know from experience." Hearing this Kurusu's ears perked up.
"Your apart of the program too?" He questioned the man, wondering if he could give him any pointers to this whole thing. He nodded and introduced himself "Yep I'm a certified host for two homestays and a proud one at that. Mike Yagori by the way, I host a Kobold and a Harpy. And let me tell ya, one of the happiest joys you can feel when they start treating you like your family or even more. Really perks ya up, happy just radiates off em. By the way, if you need to be doing any errands now might be the best time. We're already knocking down walls."
'What?' Kurusu turned to see the leftside wall of the main hallway come down by two sledgehammers from the other side. "Wow, you guys work fast." Mike chuckled at the observation. "Yeah, it's our job to. Don't worry it'll be fully ready by the time ya get back if your going anywhere. Just try to stay back from the door." Mike told him just as he and Kuruso were forced to go to one side as a large pylon and support beam was carried in by two heavy workmen.
'Maybe I should go run some things, maybe hit the store and stock up on food. After all I'm gonna be cooking for two soon' He thought as he took note of when he last shopped for groceries. He definitely needed to go buy more, especially eggs. All those omletes cost him about 4 eggs each time, but they were so worth every last yolk.
Looking back to Mike he held out a hand and pointed over his shoulder with his thumb. "I should probably run to the store and restock my shelves. Let me just grab my keys and I'll be out of your hair for a few."
"Hey no problem, take as long as ya need. It'll all be nice and roomy by the time were down with it. Don't you worry, but do make sure ya shop for a little of everything. Unless you know what species your hosting, it doesn't hurt to be prepared for whoever walks through your door."
As Kurusu began turning to grab his keys from the hall table near the front door he replied "Sure thing, and I'll be sure to be mindful. Worst case is I'll have to eat whatever they can't. It was nice meeting you Mike." Giving a small one finger salute the lead workman told him "Same to you Mr Kurusu, best of luck to both you and whoever you take in!"
Kimihito gave a smile and began walking towards the grocery store. He took a moment to clear his head and ready himself for the new change to his life. 'You can do this, just be like you are to everyone. Treat them nice, with respect, just like you would anyone else. After all they're still people, no matter how they look.' Satisfied by the promise he told himself, he now walked with a hop in his step.
But not everyone shared the same goodhearted views of the man, as a family signed over the papers to the Arachne they'd been unhappy hosting to a sleazy "director" who offered to take her off their hands. But Fate however, would choose another path.
