The scene turned awkward for a mont.
Unlike the resolute resister, Miss rmaid, the betrayer Miss Hungry Dragon accepted Herbert’s proposal with ease.
Yes, I didn’t see anything!
"...Ah!!?"
Miss rmaid was stunned for a mont, then her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at this traitor who easily betrayed the alliance.
Wasn’t it agreed that we would be an "unbreakable" alliance for life, and would never easily give in?
How could you surrender so easily?
"Valentina!? How could you do such a thing!"
Faced with her ally’s questioning, Miss Hungry Dragon made the wisest choice, playing dumb.
"I don’t care! I just didn’t hear anything!"
She stubbornly insisted that she hadn’t heard anything!
She shook her head quickly, mumbling, "It doesn’t matter if you don’t forgive him, as long as I do!"
???
At that mont, Fremay nearly ground her silver teeth into dust from frustration.
So unfair!
You you you... how dare you make the villain?
Do you think you are the only one who wants to forgive him?
I want to too!
Fremay gritted her teeth, squeezing out so angry curses from between them: "You! You... sneaky flying lizard!"
But Valentina didn’t care at all, imdiately retorting: "Ha! Shut your fishy mouth!"
"You... hmph!"
"Ha."
Seeing that the "Grumble and Hiss Duo" was about to start fighting again, Herbert, originally at the center of the storm, smiled slightly and nodded in satisfaction.
He flicked his sleeves, hiding his achievents and fa.
Veteran gars know one thing for sure.
When facing two or more enemies alone, a direct confrontation is certainly not the wisest choice.
The best strategy is to divide and conquer!
If there’s an opportunity to separate the enemies, then defeat them one by one.
If there is no such opportunity, then sow discord, create conflicts among the enemies, and wait for them to kill each other off, reaping the benefits afterwards.
Now...
He had already successfully shattered them from within!
The dam had cracked, now he just needed to slowly widen the crack over ti.
Just as they were about to confront each other again, Herbert cleared his throat, drawing angry glares from both sides.
"Hmm?" ×2
Listening to the two synchronized huffs, he couldn’t help but laugh.
"Hehe."
You two, in such a weird situation, you actually have pretty good teamwork!
"Ahahaha, seeing how well you two get along, well... I’ll leave you to it for now!"
Feeling the heat of their anger, Herbert smiled slightly, placing his hand on the door that appeared out of thin air beside him, and winked at them.
"You two go ahead and bond a little, try to determine who’s the senior... oh, I an, settle a small competition."
Who is the older sister, who is the younger one, you sort it out yourselves.
After spending so much ti observing them, Herbert concluded that the two had minor gripes with each other, but no real malice.
They didn’t even truly dislike each other.
Anyway, you can’t kill each other, and you won’t go too far, so just bicker.
"You guys play first, I’ll check on the others." Herbert waved at them, opened the Teleportation Gate, revealing the Deep Water Prison at the entryway.
"I’ll be back soon, no need to wait for ."
He spoke rapidly, then quickly stepped out, escaping the Endless Maze before they could reach him.
"Hey! Stop! Don’t leave—"
"Herbert! Get back here—"
Snap.
As his other foot crossed over, the door disappeared, and the voices behind him vanished instantly. The escaping Herbert let out a long sigh of relief.
Whoo!
Feeling the clothes on his back alternating between hot and cold, he couldn’t help but laugh.
If I had left a mont later, I’d be in real trouble today!
"Haha, that was quite thrilling!"
Indeed, as the real master said, all won below the mountain are tigers—hmm?
Herbert raised an eyebrow, suddenly having a more reasonable "hypothesis."
Wait, could that saying imply that won below the mountain are actually Monster Girls, specifically Tiger Ladies?
Oh no, should be Tiger Demons.
Anyway, the master seems to be a fellow enthusiast who likes non-human girls too!
Thinking like this...
"If you know there are tigers on the mountain, yet head towards the mountain with tigers!" It seems it could have a new interpretation.
Hearing there are Tiger Ladies on the mountain, you insist on seeking them out.
And there’s that heavyweight saying—No tiger’s den, no tiger cubs.
This is, uh, hmm.
As for the tiger’s den... it sounds very dangerous indeed.
Nevermind, let’s not talk about it.
Yeah.
Chinese, truly profound.
Study it, as learning has no end!
"Alright, let Valentina and the others ’communicate’ for a while, I’ll take this ti to look for other sisters~"
So, here’s the question.
Which lucky Monster Girl should I find?
Herbert lingered in the Deep Water Prison for a while, then continued further inside.
"Alright, the mimic treasure chest monster that looks like a coffin, it’s your turn."
Just happened to miss her last ti, this ti I’ll make it up to her.
But how to get to the Prison of Darkness?
Take the old path through the barrier?
Walking directly is an option, but compared to the Teleportation Gate, it’s a bit slow, and would attract Svanni’s attention.
He’s not in a rush to see Svanni, wanting to test her patience a bit more.
So the optimal choice is, as before, to use the Teleportation Gate to directly appear in front of Eliza.
However, there’s an unavoidable problem with using the Teleportation Gate.
It requires returning to the Endless Maze, the transit area—which would inevitably lead to another encounter with those two dangerous Monster Girls.
They were already furious when Herbert eluded them, and Herbert going back now would just be flirting with danger.
