It was early morning at the resort, so far Ben had just stayed with Rachnera for their time here. Except when she woke up early and tagged along with Kimihito and Miia to a shapeshifting Fox show or whatever.

And right now he, Draco and Lala has just finished packing up their things, Smith called and said that the High Breed finally removes the Xenocites from the house. That meant they were free to go home, in fact the rest of the house hold save for them, Mero, Suu and Kimihito has been sent home already.

"Okay that's everything I brought, how about you Draco?" He asked his dragon like roommate. "Same I got everything" she replied holding up a duffle bag, "yes I indeed am ready to depart" Lala added suddenly appearing besides them. Scaring the heck out of the two "JESUS CHRIST!!!!!" Ben yelled holding his heart.

"I'm with you bud!" Draco added hyperventilating, "I apologize" the Dullahan said blushing. "Well before we head off, Why don't we take a tour around town?" The shapeshifter suggested. "Sure, Wait where's the host anyway?" The dragon like girl asked.

They looked around the resort and but couldn't find any sign of Kimihito, or Mero and Suu. "Guess he must've taken off" Ben said, "THAT JERK!! I can't believe it! He leaves us behind only taking that mermaid and slime!!" Draco screamed. "He probably got side tracked with something, how about we go around" ben said.

The dragonnewt reluctantly went along with him to explore the town, and the Dullahan didn't actually mind. "So where to first?" Ben asked looking around, "just as long as I don't get frozen again I'll be fine" Draco said.

"I have no preference" Lala added, the three of them first went to a manga cafe, Ben had found one series he rather liked that was about teens with psychic abilities. One had the power to throw his consciousness into other people's bodies for a short time. And if they had other powers steal them away.

The next stop was the in the other part of the hot springs district, particularly a foot bath area. Ben had to admit it was relaxing, Draco found it more so however... a little too much considering she fell back into the water with a blissful smile on her face due to the heat.

Walking around a little more he and Draco were talking about their lives before moving into their current home. Ben told her about the fun moments in his life as a super hero and a few hardcore things. First Draco told him about her homeland, which was a Brazilian village with several Dragonnewts. She was the middle child of a family of five, her life was good and was nominated to go overseas.

Then with her original host, a busy couple who were never really home, then during an argument they brought Draco up and then in got ugly. Ben commented on how hurt she must've felt, Draco said she got over it but was glad she was able to talk about it with someone.

After that the trio found themselves at a local shrine, "nice place, what's it for though?" Draco asked. "I sense a presence, an inhuman presence here" Lala said being the dramatic we all know. "Oh I know this place, Rachnera told me about a show they put on here once" Ben said. Yeah Rachnera tagged along with Kimihito and Miia when they took a tour of the town. And they went to this shrine and met a minimal called a Kitsune named Kyubi, she wanted to make the Shrine popular so they'd raise money. In doing so she made the place seem haunted or something like that, then after meeting the group had decided to put on a shapeshifter show. "That sounds pretty cool to watch" Draco admitted "I would indeed enjoy some mortal entertainment" Lala added.

They entered the shrine to see, sadly the proprietor of the shrine didn't exactly like that she did it without his permission. They saw him lecturing the Kitsune, "Okay... maybe we should just take our leave" Ben said, "huh... oh wait.. sorry you had to see that. I was just talking with my homestay Kyubi about doing things behind my back" the shrine's proprietor explained.

"I just wanted to help the shrine raise money!" The linimal whined, "it was out of good intentions... wow Miia was apt on her description" Ben commented. "Miia? Wait do you three know the Lamia, Arachne and Human that visited here a few days ago?" Kyubi asked. "Yeah, actually the arachne's my girlfriend" Ben said bashfully, "Wow!! So you're the other shapeshifter they mentioned!! Good to meet yah!" She greeted shaking Ben's hand.

"Hey" he greeted back, "say want to have a competition?" The nine tail asked. "Kyubi..." the shrine's care taker growled with a menacing aura. "Wait hold on, what kind of competition?" Ben asked, "to see who's the better shapeshifter. If I can copy all your forms" she explained.

"Well if it's okay with your host family" Ben said, the proprietor too a deep breath "so longed nothing breaks I suppose it's fine" he answered. Then the two had started the competition.

So far it was a draw, Ben had to admit that Kyubi the Kitsune was a master at transformations but said that Lala was the best. Easily due to the fact that she could copy clothes as well as appearance.

The three were now walking down a random street "want to head back?" Ben asked the two. "Yeah almost froze to death, no thanks" Draco replied, "I too wish not to freeze either" Lala said.

Ben nodded understanding before something big hit him, real big, looking up he saw a tall girl. She had tan skin, tomboyish hair, wore overalls... like Centorea had an unnecessarily and unrealistically large chest. But the most noticeable feature she had was the two bull like horns on her head, the tail sticking out from behind her, and the cow like legs.

"Oops sorry!!" Ben blushed before dashing backwards, "ah not to worry, it ain't the first time it's happened" she assures with a grin. "Minotaur right?" Ben asked "yeah that's right, names Cathyl" she introduced "Ben Tennyson" he replied.

"Ben Tennyson? Oh do you happen to know a centaur named Centorea or a Harpy named Papi?" She asked him. "Oh yeah, you've met?" Ben asked, "Yeah, they along with their host family Kimihito stopped by our farm a few days back. I rolled a bunch of logs down a hill and they accidentally tumbled over him... ha ha my bad" she said.

"Oh so those vegetables they brought back were from your farm?" ben asked "yeah, compensation for helping us out, along with the milk" Cathyl replied. And behind her was another girl, this one more sheep like, "Cathyl!!" She cried catching up. "Oops sorry about forgetting yah back there Merino" the Minotaur apologized.

"Oh, are you Ben Tennyson?" The girl now known as Merino asked, "how do you know me?" Ben asked. "Oh your host family Kimihito showed me a picture of all of you and I recognized the jacket" she giggled. "Oh, well it's noce to meet you both" Ben said to them, "Hey no problem, if you're ever in the neighborhood again feel free to stop by" Cathyl replied.

"I just might, seeing as that some of my powers can accelerate plant growth" he added. "Oh! We could use that" Merino said, "totally, and maybe you can help us with milking" the Minotaur added.

"Never milked a cow before, but I'm willing to learn" Ben admitted shrugging. "And maybe since you've got a cute enough face..." she then whispered in his ear. Whatever she said made him blush like crazy "Wait Wait Wait What!?!?!" He yelped in surprise.

"Oh yeah on the same day I Uh... needed something regarding... swelling... taken care of your host was nice enough to help me out..." Cathyl explained. "Sorry but I already have a girlfriend" Ben said, "Relax I was only joking" she chuckled.

Ben gulped audibly 'I hope that milk those three brought back wasn't from Cathyl because I nearly drank a gallon's worth of that stuff' Ben thought blushing.

"What's he all red about?" Draco added, "perhaps sir Tennyson discovered something rather shocking" Lala suggested.

Right after they went back to the Resort... or rather the bus stop near it, Draco really doesn't want to go into hibernation again. "Seriously where is he?" She asked, they were still wondering where Kimihito, Mero and Suu were. "Maybe I should call them, should've did that earlier" Ben said taking out his phone.

"Hey Kimihito, where are you?" He asked, "hey Ben, uh we've sorta ran into a problem just search around he town..." the host said. He was cut off when a loud scream was heard "KINU THAT FINE PERSON IS OUT VIP AND I WON'T HAVE YOU DEFYING HER!!!"

Oddly it was heard from both over the phone, and a couple of blocks away, "I got a feeling they're that way" he said, they walked down the street and met up with Miss Smith. She was looking for Kimihito regarding Mero and wasn't able to find him. They heard a clamor coming from a nearby alley and went to check it out.

When they got there they saw a locker shaking like crazy, "looks like we found them" Ben said. "Who's gonna open it though?" Kuroko asked, "I shall" Lala replied going up to the metal storage.

Only to have the door blasted off its hinges by a lizard like tail with Kimihito flying into Lala. "Well... there's Kimihito... but where's Mero and Suu?" Ben asked, the dumpster next to the slime then jiggles like jello.

Then turned into the slime hiding Mero inside her, "oh that explains it" he said... as to who was in the locker with the lady's man host were two girls.

One was a tall red skinned girl with two horns on her head and a familiar calming aura Ben recognized but couldn't remember who it was from. And the other had green scales on her skin and looked similar to Draco only without the wings. And wider hips with a much longer and stronger tail, Mother Earth and her gracefulness that looks powerful.

"What the heck's going on?" Ben asked, as it turns out these two named Liz the lizard woman and Kinu the Oni were tasked with guarding someone by the name of X.O and they assumed it was Suu. After getting into a spat between a random devil girl named Lilith and the Oni and lizard, which Ben had to hold all three back, the two's partners arrived and revealed that they read the name wrong.

The name had characters that actually spelled Mero... "Wait, why would people need to secure Mero?" Ben asked confused. "Apparently someone was pursuing her" one of the human agents partnered with Liz and Kinu said. "Oh I guess I forgot to mention, you guys had some noble visitors" Smith said before a loud voice spoke.

"OOOOH BY NEPTUNE'S BEARD WE'VE FOUND HER!!" Looking to the source everyone saw two fish men... like literal fish who had the arms and legs of humans... this world is either unique to a T or really weird.

"Oh Sebastian, Flounder" Mero responded, Ben spat tanked at that "I'm getting a serious little mermaid vibe here" he whispered to Kimihito as he nodded.

It was actually revealed that Mero turned out to be a princess... a mermaid princess...
