"What?"
Valentina was stunned. After being rebuked, her vertical pupils dilated and she looked at Herbert with wide eyes.
"You... you want to get lost?"
She was confused.
He wants to leave?
He wants to go?
He...
"Herbert!!?"
Valentina widened her eyes and shouted in disbelief and confusion: "You want to get lost?"
You!!?
After being coldly rebuked by Herbert, Miss Hungry Dragon was outraged beyond asure.
Fury.
Very angry!
As the Furious, her anger was terrifying!
The Demon Fla she spewed from her mouth could incinerate her enemies, her sharp claws could tear them apart, and her massive body could crush them into a pulp!
But the furious Giant Dragon that could terrify all enemies didn't show her rage when facing Herbert.
Instead... it was deep grievance.
Tears uncontrollably rolled down from her big eyes.
Valentina cried, pouting, and sorrowfully questioned loudly: "Do you not love anymore?"
"After Wendy, will you also leave ?"
"Are you going to abandon too?"
And after Herbert's silence, Valentina took a deep breath and clenched her fists.
"Ugh..."
She didn't lash out at Herbert, didn't unleash her imnse violence, but like a child about to be abandoned, she slumped to the ground and feebly pleaded.
"Herbert, don't leave , okay?"
"I'll be obedient! Really!"
"Please don't abandon !!!"
Seeing that Herbert still didn't respond, Valentina simply lay on the ground, crying and fussing in grievance.
"Herbert, you big fool!!!"
"Big fool!!!"
"I'm ignoring you!"
"I don't like you anymore!"
"Don't like you anymore!"
Herbert listened in silence, watched this scene with lowered eyes, feeling his face twitch slightly.
"Huh..."
This test turned out to be more troubleso than he thought.
The scene before him, even if it's fake, shook his heart profoundly.
Even though Herbert clearly knew it was just an illusion, shadows ford by his mind's impressions, he still couldn't harden his heart against her.
The key was, rolling on the ground begging him not to let go like this, other Monster Girls might not do it, but his dear Miss Hungry Dragon... just might.
She really could do it.
Now, it felt a bit too real...
"What do I do now? Honestly."
Herbert rubbed his temples headachely, feeling stuck in a dilemma.
To respond to her? Or not?
He hesitated.
Responding would indeed stop her crying and shouting.
Herbert could see the problem clearly.
Obviously, the more he interacted with "Valentina," the deeper he fell into the trap of the test of Silence and Noise, getting more entangled in this Illusion Realm.
But not responding...
Herbert remained silent for a long while, finally smacking his lips helplessly and letting out a long sigh.
"Tsk! Huh..."
After making up his mind, Herbert strode forward, squatting gently before the prone Miss Hungry Dragon.
He looked down at the still rolling on the ground Miss Hungry Dragon and said helplessly, "Alright, stop pretending, I'm still here."
"Herbert, you big... eh!!?"
The Hungry Dragon, crying and shouting a mont ago, suddenly stopped, looking up at Herbert squatting beside her, eyes full of unease.
Her mouth moved, but in the end, she said nothing, turned her head away, and snorted angrily from her nose.
"...Hmph!"
However, because she had been crying ssily, her nose wasn't clear at this mont, stuffed full of clear snot.
So, a bubble was born.
It swelled, then pop—a bubble burst again.
Herbert witnessed the funny scene firsthand, almost failing to keep a straight face, biting his tongue tip hard to endure.
"..."
At this mont, he suddenly felt a bit regretful—why did I bother responding to her?
He took a deep breath, suppressing the regret in his heart, and spoke softly: "Why did you turn away from ? Didn't you say you didn't want to leave you?"
"Because you're a villain!"
Valentina's "ignoring you" didn't last long; she turned back imdiately, glared at him, and said, "You're a bad-hearted big villain!"
"Yes, I am."
Herbert laughed upon hearing this and nodded calmly, then asked: "I'm the big villain you say I am, then, do you not like anymore?"
"...I do like you!"
Valentina pouted higher, complaining: "You're the big villain, I'm the big fool, why do I still like you? Damn it, damn it..."
Even knowing Herbert was a bad-hearted guy, sotis teasing her, Miss Hungry Dragon still deeply liked him.
After complaining for a while, she pursed her lips, sniffed, and tentatively asked, "Then... do you still like ?"
Herbert looked at Valentina whose tears hadn't yet dried from her eyes, hesitated not at all, and nodded decisively.
"Love."
He looked at Valentina, whose face lit up with joy, his eyes filled with a deep love and indulgence, and softly said: "I love Valentina dearly, more than anyone, this is an unchanging fact."
He watched Valentina's tears turn into laughter, his eyes flashed with a smile, and before she spoke, he continued: "Even if the one before is just an illusion, I still love you dearly."
Was Herbert deceived by Valentina's illusion? Did he not know the person before him was fake?
