Diary of Guarding Monster Girls

Chapter 870 - 438: Straight Ball Crushes Everything!

["You really are a cruel man!"]

A plaintive voice echoed from deep within the soul, and the sigh seemed to penetrate the sea of consciousness, stirring ripples upon ripples.

Miss Harmonious God sighed mournfully, looking desolate.

She said:

["How can you bear to bully such a rare good woman like me... Ah, men."]

Herbert: Do you need something?

"You truly are a mysterious woman!"

The Paladin pursed his lips and scoffed, unable to resist giving her a thumbs up.

You, yes, you!

You are this! (gesturing)

"Isn’t it because you told me not to ask anything?" Herbert responded with a touch of helplessness, a hint of amusement.

Is this how we’re playing it?

You, Harmonious God, telling me not to ask anything, pretending it’s for my own good, as if you’re carrying some unspeakable secret.

In the end, when I truly stop asking, you are the one who gets upset.

Heh, women.

Herbert couldn’t be bothered to argue anymore and simply threw the choice back at her.

"So, should I be asking now? Or not?"

["Hmm... well, ahh."]

Nenasha was also somewhat conflicted about this.

How strange.

With a change in status, one’s inner thoughts certainly change too.

When their relationship was still "allies," naturally, they had the way of treating allies.

Their relationship wasn’t bad then, but for some things, Nenasha didn’t need to explicitly say, and Herbert wouldn’t ask beyond boundaries.

But now, as their relationship became "partners," of course, attitudes would shift.

She began to seem a little less like herself.

Things she didn’t care about before, now she started craving his attention.

She began to grow greedy, wanting to possess everything related to him.

A feeling she had never experienced before appeared in her heart, like a seed growing, slowly rooting, sprouting, and blossoming.

Nenasha knew that feeling was called "jealousy."

She was actually jealous of those fortunate mortals, envying their ability to be by Herbert’s side.

Envious of their having bodies to physically feel his warmth, his fingertips, his kisses...

Though she noticed a clue when the feeling just emerged,

This change, without knowing when or why it happened, truly startled her.

To have become so weak...

Heh, it really wasn’t like her at all.

Love, this thing, truly is a curse.

So, should she resist it?

Should she make the most correct response and correct all "anomalies"?

Could she completely remove such a feeling?

Yes, easily.

Nenasha not only could do it, she could even make sure this feeling never arises again, eliminating any future troubles in one go.

It’s just stripping away a useless burden, it wouldn’t take much effort at all.

If it were the old Nenasha, she would have removed everything without hesitation, erasing the weaknesses from her soul.

But ultimately...

["Oh my!"]

Miss Harmonious God’s voice suddenly regained its usual light-heartedness, as if the earlier dilemma had never existed.

In balancing reason and emotion, Miss Harmonious God chose a third path—coquettishness (or acting spoiled)!

Her consciousness stirred within Herbert’s soul, directly throwing a tantrum.

All this about who’s right or wrong, don’t care anymore!

She directly learned a very excellent technique from Valentina.

I don’t care about anything else, just—placate me!

["Honestly, although I might not answer, at least ask a little, hm~"]

In the alluring voice were hints of mischief, a bit of coquettishness, and a trace of anticipation that even she wasn’t aware of.

Nenasha didn’t "correct" her spirit, only imposed limits, allowing the feeling to exist without affecting her judgment.

She deliberately left this flaw in her soul.

Maybe, in the future, an enemy would notice this and target it, and she might regret today’s decision.

But at the moment of making the decision, she felt she was doing the right thing.

If one gave up on "beginning" because of potential "danger" in the future...

Wouldn’t life become too dull?

Moreover, she wasn’t sure if it was her illusion.

After experiencing this feeling, Nenasha suddenly felt more complete than before.

Her consciousness stretched gently, like something long bound finally being released.

Clearly, she had added a shackle to herself, yet her soul felt freer.

It wasn’t an added flaw, but rather filling a missing piece.

Was I really always missing something?

Was it precisely because of those "lacks" that led to my last failure?

Nenasha had an enlightenment, feeling she seemed to grasp some key points.

Though unable to fully understand yet, still lacking some crucial parts.

But she wasn’t worried about finding the road ahead.

Because... wasn’t the person who could fill those "gaps" standing right in front of her?

Hmm, no, that’s not right.

After all, I’m hiding in his heart?

["Ah, you really don’t understand a woman’s heart at all."]

The thought process seemed long, but it actually only happened in a moment.

The divine maintained their usual attitude, returning to the casual demeanor of treating Herbert like during the "ally" period.

Even, after understanding her own heart, her attitude became more relaxed and she teased casually: ["But, it’s really strange, isn’t it?"]
