The Hero And The Cerberus Trio (Early access) (Com) (Patreon)

A commission for last_of_workers!

Should I start? No, I want to go... You idiots we’re all the same person just pick which one we’re speaking out of. Oh right, I often forget that, even though we’re all connected. Life as a trio of Cerberus girls can be confusing, but far from lonely.

Talk about Kokawa idoit. Oh right, I met him back in our last world. So did I! Yes we know, you’re a part of us… Just stay quiet okay? Sure! Ah, don’t be moody. Anyway, we used to be Kokawa’s neighbor.

We were his neighbor for most of our life. His parents moved in next door when we were about three, so he was the first friend we made since we saw him all the time outside. We would play almost every day, his favorite game was pretending to be knights.

Even back then he was pretty good at tactics, even if I didn’t understand it then. You still don’t understand it now. Yeah, that’s true, but we don’t need to be smart, just fast, strong and hungry right? Sure whatever you say. Well, technically you said it… I.. Uh… Shut up I know that…

Stop being grumpy and let her get back to the story. Sigh… alright...  As we grew we eventually went to the same elementary, middle, and high school. He ended up making other friends as did we, but we would occasionally hang out especially when his dad was fighting with his mom.

He and his little brother Klien would hang out with us in our room and we’d play board games and video games for hours. Eventually, his mother moved out and took his little brother with her. So things became quiet next door.

Kokawa’s father would spend most of his time working or getting wasted at the bar before coming home. So Kokawa was often alone at home when he wasn’t working or going to school. It seemed lonely or sad, but he never seemed upset and continued to smile when we talked.

We eventually learned that he was eating instant noodles for most meals since he wasn’t very good at cooking, so we took it upon ourselves to start cooking him dinner every night. Which turned out, we had natural instincts for.

We don’t think about what we’re making. We just grab things and put them together and they come out amazingly. When we brought some to Kokawa the first time his eyes lit up, and we ate together. Over and over again he complimented our cooking skills.

We did this almost every day for months, and Kokawa would even buy things for us to cook, even buying random things to see what we could possibly do with it, not once was he ever disappointed, and neither were we. We actually came to love dining with him at night.

But that came to an end the day Kokawa exploded at the arcade. That’s a bit of a blunt way to put it. How would you put it? You idiots, you’d put it the same way, because we’re all the same person… Oh right. This can be confusing. I swear I’m the only one using our brain…

That’s probably why you’re so moody, I prefer to be the dumb cute one. Cute one? No that’s definitely me, but you can be the dumb one. We all look the same…. Do we? I think you have more wrinkles from pouting… Can we just get back to the story? Oh yeah, sorry.

You don’t have to apologize to me... I am yo... Never mind just continue. Oh right, So Kokawa went to the big bone in the sky and left us to eat dinner alone. Well, we went back to eating with our parents but it always felt like something was missing.

Luckily he summoned us here and gave us these amazing bodies, now we’re once again his personal cooks, and we even have the ability to hunt pristine meat and ingredients to use since we’re natural hunters.

Our noses can pick up scents for miles and ones that are days old. We can hear the smallest creatures moving around us even when the other girls are fighting about standing next to Kokawa. We’re also very fast even with armor on, if we get on all fours we’re even faster.

Although that’s a bit embarrassing since sometimes we wear skirts, so the others will see your panties when you fools run around. This is why you never have fun, we’re you right? So you want to do it, just relax a bit and do it. I.. I hate that you have a point.

That’s the spirit. Now where were we? I think we were talking about our abilities. Oh good. We can’t use magic like some of the other girls. That’s because we lack the focus to cast anything. Yeah, but that doesn't matter.

As long as we’re armed with our claws thats the only weapon we need in combat. Our numbers make up for the rest. You forget that we’re not always in the field together. I didn’t forget I just have to think about that, I always end up missing you two.

Why? It’s not like we’re really gone. Our minds are connected so it’s like we’re in constant communication. Which is why splitting up can be useful. The different teams can communicate with us nearly instantly.

Since it’s not magic either the messages can’t be revived by powerful mages that we go up against. Yeah, I supposed that’s neat. Plus when we split up there tend to be fewer girls around Kokawa, and one of us always ends up with him. Oh, good point I never thought about it that way.

Yes.. yes you did… What’s that now? Ugh.. forget it, I know exactly what you thinking about now. Oh yeah, what’s that? You’re thinking about how amazing the other girls are. Yup, that’s right good job. I uh… What? Don’t worry about it, now onto the other girls.

We love Eve, she was Kokawa’s brother in the last world so we were already friends and got along great. She often helps us gather ingredients to cook with. Minka is a bit terrifying, and will often pick one of us and walk away.

Of course, we come to the deduction that she’s a dog person, as she mostly just sits with one of us in her lap and pets us. She must find it relaxing, we sure do. Birdtit’s the most annoying, she flutters around and squawks a lot.

We honestly find ourselves wanting to hunt her, but to be fair, we hunt monsters for the group just like her all the time, so it’s not our fault she looks so delicious. She is our teammate now, so stop thinking that way. It’s not my fault, you were thinking it too. Hmmmm, yeah I was…

You two are a mess you know that. We know you know that we felt it when you thought it. I hope you realize how dumb that sounded.  Would you stop bickering and finish the story I was really into it. What does that mean? Have you been listing like you don’t know? Maybe.

The answer is yes, I felt it when she thought about it. I know, I felt it too, again we’re all connected, stop forgetting that. Okay. Now finished talking. Frissi is a cool badass, and we often hunt bigger monsters for meals as she likes their taste better.

Cumsuscker doesn’t eat food or doesn’t prefer it. We tried several things but she insisted there was something else she wanted to eat, but won't tell us what, so we’re still trying to figure it out. Iseret is one of our favoertes.

We tend to get a lot of cuts, scraps, and other injuries, and she healed up every single one every time. Even when one of us broke a leg running she healed it right up and the pain was gone instantly. One of us huh? Yup, I don’t remember which one. Yes, you do. Oh, yeah you can read my thoughts...

I’m not even going to bother explaining it again. Great, then I have time to talk about the others. Kit is another animal girl, so we often help each other groom our fur, since we all like it in a specific way that only we understand.

Eleflow is super cool. Her powers are some of the strongest and coolest to watch in action. She can do all kinds of things and she’s super great when we fight baddies. Then there’s Vapelia she barely speaks, and we should know, we can hear whispers, and she doesn't even do that.

She refuses to deal with us, so we stay away from her, well other than to bring her food. We’re very passionate about that, and we believe everyone deserves a great meal every day. Now all that’s left is Kokawa.

He’s the best, he always treats us amazingly, and he even keeps treats for us in his bag. Which he uses to bribe you two into doing all kinds of things from fetching a tree branch to playing with each other. You’re just jealous you don’t get any treats.

Hmmmpth... See she’s jealous. Well next time he asks us to do something, we’ll just have to make you join us. How do you plan to do that? Well, we could just flood our minds with nonsense. Huh? What do… Oh.. stop it… stop humming… fine you win. Ha! See we can be smart.

WE ARE ALL THE SAME! You just teasing yourself, how do you not realize that? Maybe I do and find it fun to tease you. Oh, hi Kokawa… No, we’re not doing anything, especially arguing with each other. We’re all good, nothing’s going on I swear it.
