Of course, if anyone really dares to see her as a snack, then they're probably not far from becoming a snack themselves.
"..."
Herbert's tongue was itching inside his mouth, contemplating whether to take the risk and court death.
To live or to perish, that is a question worth considering.
At this mont, he was defenseless, being held in soone else's arms, and shouldn't have any thoughts of seeking death.
But unfortunately, he had just recently courted death with an epic Monster Girl and managed to escape unscathed.
Now, Herbert was at the peak of his arrogance, daring beyond belief.
Life is what I desire; righteousness is also what I desire.
When the two cannot be had together, one must sacrifice life for righteousness.
Go for it!
What courting death?
I'm just a child who wants to know what the candy in front of tastes like.
But just as Herbert was ready to sacrifice himself in the na of research, sticking out his tongue to taste the Fallen Angel lady's color, a deep breath could be heard above him.
"Inhale——"
The Fallen Angel lady tightly holding Herbert took a strong sniff above his head and exhaled contentedly.
"Ha!"
At this mont, Herbert was stunned.
He slowly raised his head and looked at Luhier, who was lost in a mont of reverie, twitching his mouth.
"...Ah?"
Wait a mont!
Are you sure you didn't take the wrong script?
Wasn't it supposed to be sniffing your scent?
How did it beco you sniffing !
Who exactly is the hunter here?
...Hiss!
Could it be that I was the prey all along?
It was only then that he suddenly realized he might have already beco the lamb sent into the wolf's mouth.
Oh no, no way!
Herbert struggled symbolically, then just gave up and accepted it calmly.
Family, I've given up.
Y'all saw it, it's not that I didn't struggle, it's just that escape was impossible.
I struggled, but it was useless.
I put in all my effort but couldn't overco it!
So, I lay down obediently.
He enjoyed the deserved softness, letting himself be "enthusiastically sniffed" by the Fallen Angel lady, fleetingly empathizing with small animals tornted by humans.
So this is the price to pay for "not wanting to work"… not bad, actually?
And after being sniffed for a while, Herbert felt doing nothing wasn't quite in character for him.
So he unwilling to be outdone, started sniffing through his nose as well.
Inhale——Ha!
The two of them quietly "cuddled" for a mont, and after the Fallen Angel lady contentedly enjoyed her sniffs, she finally stopped her impudent actions.
"Herbert, thank you for tolerating my sowhat impolite… hmm?"
Luhier was expressing her gratitude when she suddenly felt a coolness on her chest.
What's happening?
"Mm-mm-mm… ha!"
Herbert wanted to speak, but his mouth, trapped, wouldn't initially "release" him; he barely managed to open his mouth.
He smiled slightly, didn't ask why Luhier wanted to savor his scent, but instead mysteriously said: "Luhier, let tell you a secret."
"Actually, you guessed wrong."
"The aura on , it's not from the Sun Church."
"Wanna guess where it's from?"
Hmm?
This topic indeed diverted Luhier's attention.
"Do you an to say it's from a Divine Favorer? In that case, it's part of the Sun Church."
"Wrong, guess again." Herbert shook his head with a smile.
It's not?
"…No, that's impossible."
The Fallen Angel thought it over carefully and ultimately held firm, believing Herbert was trying to mystify the situation to confuse her.
"If even this power doesn't belong to the Sun Church, then what kind of person could possess it?"
"The arrogant Sun God would never tolerate His authority being coveted by others, any Divine Spirit daring to challenge Him."
As long as the blazing sun hasn't fully set, no one would have such courage and strength.
"Still not right, think again?"
"Since you can't guess it, I'll reveal the answer."
Herbert smiled lightly and no longer kept the suspense, revealing the answer gently: "Isn't it possible that this aura cos directly from… Him?"
"Him? Who are you referring to? Who dares… hmm!!?"
Luhier thought for a mont before grasping the true aning of these words.
Him.
Him!!!
But in an instant, though Luhier showed no outward reaction, Herbert knew she was not calm inside.
Because he directly sensed the change!
Not because he was so adept at seeing through hearts, but because he physically felt it — the soft body that had been holding him suddenly beca rigid.
Turning from a slick, soft pastry into solid steel forged by the burning sun's flas and endless tribulations!
Solid!
How to put it?
No offense, it's just a bit… bumpy on the chin.
Herbert, pondering this, felt the gaze from above.
"Do you an to say you've entered His gaze?" The Fallen Angel's voice lost its previous calmness.
"You've… beco His Favorer?"
Though still sounding calm, one could taste the turmoil underneath.
If Herbert indeed beca a Divine Favorer, then everything about him would be known to the Divine Spirit.
Her existence too would be exposed to the Sun God, making years of hiding aningless.
Therefore, rather than asking if Herbert beca a Divine Favorer, it's like asking if he has betrayed her…
Herbert didn't answer imdiately, but quietly watched her.
His gaze swept over the lips Luhier pursed and her stiff cheeks, prompting a jubilant grin.
"Hehe."
See, you've finally shown this expression too.
I thought your heart was truly made of iron!
Isn't it the sa, breaking the defense?
After Herbert playfully laughed, Luhier realized sothing, pouting unhappily: "Herbert, are you fooling ?"
She caught on.
If Herbert truly betrayed her, he would never entrust his safety to her hands.
He's deliberately scaring !!?
"Fool you? No, I never lie~"
"Can't reveal the details, but just used so inconsequential tricks."
Herbert grinned smugly and said: "This aura indeed is directly from the Sun God, but it wasn't granted by Him, yes, I picked it."
To reassure Luhier, he also "considerately" comforted: "Rest assured, I'm not under His notice now, and won't relay any information about you to Him in future."
After giving the Fallen Angel lady a good scare, Herbert gleefully took a deep breath, savoring the sweet victory.
Satisfying~
Finding this not enough, he intentionally asked: "So, were you a bit scared just now?"
"...Alas."
Luhier twitched her mouth, then dropped it weakly, complaining: "Herbert, has anyone ever told you, sotis, you're really an."
This Paladin's character is truly vile.
"Have they? Probably, or maybe not~ But it doesn't matter, everyone loves anyway."
Herbert blinked mischievously, then said earnestly: "If I have to choose, instead of basking under the scorching sun, I'd rather stand by your side."
Hearing this, Luhier was silent, quietly gazing at Herbert.
After a long while, she sighed and asked: "Is this a mockery?"
"No, it's a promise."
Herbert restrained his playful expression, seriously gazing into Luhier's eyes, and nodded determinedly.
He said:
"I will choose you."
Compared to lofty Divine Spirits.
I obviously favor you, standing right in front of .
