"Cough, cough, cough... No!"
Herbert snapped back to reality, looking at the two Monster Girls who were clearly a bit upset, making his scalp tingle.
Hiss, what did I just say?
Did I just blurt out everything in my heart?
He nervously wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, giving them an awkward smile.
Ah haha... the weather is really... weather, and this cell is really... a cell!
Although I said out loud, "I want it all!" my heart also thought, "I want it all."
I am a person who is consistent inside and out.
What my mouth says, my heart also is.
But honestly, I didn’t plan to be so arrogant!
Really not prepared to jump on this!
Herbert cleared his throat and chuckled dryly, "You two, um, listen to my explanation, I really didn’t an it like that just now!"
This, that... cough, listen to my excuse.
And Fremay and Valentina looked at this shaless greedy human, exchanged a glance, then turned back, giving their response.
The Sea Siren snorted angrily, the Giant Dragon yawned.
"Hmph!"
"Ha!"
Don’t think that saying so will make us forgive you!
Do you think we are so easy to appease?
Impossible!
At this mont, the two ford a defensive alliance, resisting this bad guy Herbert together.
Seeing the pouty "Hmph-Ha Generals" glare at him, Herbert instead cald down, still awkward on the outside, but internally regained his composure.
Even secretly rejoicing.
Good! Very good!
Of course, he’s not the type who likes being watched with cold eyes like a masochist, but through their reactions, he confird one thing.
These two seem only prepared to use emotional cold violence, not intending to deploy hot weapons for physical extermination.
Which ans—no life-threatening danger.
Doesn’t this an that they actually still love ?
And since they still love , then... the current situation is not a big deal.
With my abilities, I can certainly handle this easily!
Indeed, those who are loved always have nothing to fear.
["Heh."]
Nenasha felt the emotions in Herbert’s mind and sarcastically comnted.
["I must say, my dear ally, you’ve beco more and more shaless~"]
Is it my illusion?
Is this guy’s skin getting thicker?
Miss Harmonious God fondly rembered the cautious, bewildered young man who tried everything to outthink her during life and death crises.
How adorable he was back then!
No way... did this guy really ever bewildered?
Feels like he was already a tough nut that couldn’t be chopped or crushed back then.
And months later, Herbert gradually achieved great success, almost becoming a completely unrestrained jerk.
What on earth made him turn into this?
Was it love?
Indeed, "love" is really not a good thing.
It’s truly rotten.
"Yo?"
Herbert finally heard Miss Harmonious God’s voice and imdiately said sarcastically in his heart, "How co you condescended to appear now? How rare!"
Yes, it’s ti for the bla-shifting segnt where he complains about his companion’s inaction.
This ti, was it your fault for not playing right.JPG
"When I was so confused just now, how co you were silent? Couldn’t you have shown so spirit and pointed out the maze to a bewildered young man?"
Just now, where the hell were you? You weren’t even in Soul Street!
Nenasha, why were you just watching!?
Facing Herbert’s questioning, Nenasha smiled quite happily, retorting:
["Oh? You actually needed my help? You didn’t call for , and I didn’t act presumptuously."]
Herbert was blaming her for not helping proactively, but Nenasha countered, why didn’t you proactively ask for help?
Hum hum~
What, I have to beg you to let help you?
["Besides, were you really confused? You just montarily fell into that guy’s trap."]
In Miss Harmonious God’s view, Herbert had no reason to be confused at all.
A greedy guy like him could never make a choice between two extres.
Impossible.
["You greedy guy would ultimately co to that conclusion~"]
Is there any other possibility?
No way.
Hearing this, Herbert laughed in his heart, agreeing with her view.
"Well, that’s true."
["Besides, how co you don’t understand my good intentions?"]
Nenasha poked Herbert’s soles with shadowy tentacles, tickling and rambling on.
["Just think about it, if I had given you a hint, would the decision you made ultimately be yours? Or mine?"]
["Do you want to mold you into what I desire? I don’t mind, but do you really want such a future?"]
"Uh, this..."
Herbert sniffed awkwardly, eyes slightly evasive—in the eyes of the Monster Girls, this was exactly his guilty conscience.
["My ally."]
Nenasha’s voice, rarely low, whispered softly with a hint of tender sadness:
["You must understand... losing oneself is the most terrifying thing."]
["Whether mortal or divine, once they lose their original self, they’ve essentially already died."]
Nenasha’s words aren’t unique; similar things are recorded in various texts.
In many people’s eyes, once soone changes due to events, becoming different from the past, and their behavior alters dramatically, it is considered that they’ve "died."
