They’d had so contact and got along pretty well, which let the Ice and Snow Goddess hook up the connection smoothly from the start.
If she wanted to watch, then whatever.
She was a Goddess anyway, and at the mont just a little kitten.
No big deal.
Herbert had thought chasing her off would be the end of it, but who knew she’d secretly peek over again.
Also, why aren’t you talking?
Just peeping like this?
You enjoy the show?
You Divines really have so unique hobbies.
["Oh my, you’re just going to ignore it? Hehe, you’re in quite the mood~ Does it feel better being watched?"]
The Harmonious God teased, hoping to see panic and embarrassnt on her mortal partner’s face.
And then... the next second, she herself was the one struck speechless.
"Not really, it’s more like I’m used to it."
["Hm?"]
Nenasha: ?
["Hold on, who the hell was watching you before!!?"]
Miss Xie Shen was utterly shocked, feeling like she’d just stumbled on so enormous secret!
Herbert: ?
"You’re really asking who?"
Bewildered by the Harmonious God’s reaction, he said, confused, "What are you talking about? Wasn’t it you?"
["Huh??"]
"Think carefully. Haven’t you always been watching?"
["Huh???"]
Nenasha was stunned.
Nenasha saw the light.
Nenasha understood.
["Hm? Oh... ah!"]
["So it was !"]
Miss Xie Shen finally understood why Herbert was so skilled—he’d been trained up by her own hand.
For a mont, Nenasha’s mood got incredibly complicated.
Uh, this...
And just as Miss Xie Shen started to doubt her entire life, Herbert delivered the finishing blow, fully confirming that there’d be no future trouble.
He stood up straight, gave a big stretch, then looked down at the two panting "masterpieces" he’d created and nodded in satisfaction.
"Haha! I win!"
What the Ice and Snow Goddess was peeping at was, indeed, quite the eye-opening sight.
The reason Herbert and the others had suddenly stopped and piled into the blankets together wasn’t that he suddenly got in the mood.
In fact, he’d been the passive one.
The Flying Heroine went on strike.
The Flying Heroine, who’d been carrying people and hauling stuff, got mad and declared—no "refuel," no work!
You can’t expect the horse to run without giving the horse so grass!
Then, without waiting for Herbert’s input, she dragged him into the ruins and started "refueling."
By then, Flora had long since gotten a taste and had been holding back for days, so of course she wasn’t about to let such a good chance slip by; she dove in right after them.
It’s just that it was their first ti partying as a duo, so their coordination wasn’t exactly smooth; they even ended up getting in each other’s way, making their one plus one end up less than two.
In the end, Herbert seized the opening, used their own montum against them, and crushed them both in one go.
"Lord Hecayas? Are you still there?"
After things were over, Herbert tried to contact the presumptuous Goddess who’d been peeping for so long, to see what exactly she wanted from him.
But for whatever reason, this fellow didn’t respond at all, quietly withdrawing her gaze without a sound.
Huh?
What’s that supposed to an?
Just watch and leave?
Not even a single comnt?
Co on, girl!?
You really treating like I’m so adult video!!?
After trying several tis to contact the Ice and Snow Goddess and getting no reply, Herbert gave up.
"Forget it, I’ll wait for her to co find again."
"When she does, I’m really going to settle this tab with her!"
"Peeping at , ignoring —we’re going to tally every last thing up nice and slow!"
Herbert caught his breath for a mont, threw on so clothes, and headed out of the ruins.
The Enchanting Demon and the Giant Dragon could just rest inside; with their bodies, they’d be back to jumping around in no ti.
If he stayed in there and they saw him, who knew, it might turn into round two, round three.
Let’s be clear here!
It’s not that he couldn’t handle it; he just didn’t have that much ti to waste.
Ahem, seriously!
Herbert’s instincts were telling him he should hurry back, or he might miss sothing.
Also, even though he’d already had his fun, he hadn’t forgotten to check in on the last person present.
He couldn’t play favorites now.
But when Herbert walked out of the ruins, he didn’t see Kreti right away.
"Where’d she go?"
Ran off?
The thought flashed through his mind for only a mont before he tossed it aside.
No way.
Kreti wouldn’t run.
This Miss Devil might call herself evil, but everything she did was as righteous as righteous could be.
Besides, with her pride, she’d never stoop to sneaking away.
If she really wanted to leave, even if she’d get caught, she’d definitely loudly announce her "escape plan."
"She’d probably say sothing like, ’My pride as a Demon won’t allow to just slink away...’"
Thinking of that scene, he looked around and finally spotted her at the top of a big tree.
Miss Devil was lightly standing on the treetop, her thin black gauze fluttering in the wind—she’d long since changed out of the Nun outfit and back into her usual clothes.
"Kreti, I thought you’d run off... huh?"
Herbert walked over with a smile to talk to her, but stopped halfway through the sentence.
At the top of the tree, Kreti seed lost in thought and hadn’t noticed Herbert approaching.
She only had her head tilted back, staring blankly up at the bright moon overhead, a flicker of nostalgia in her eyes.
"..."
Herbert’s brows twitched slightly; the wings on his back spread, and he floated softly to her side. He didn’t speak, just quietly tilted his head up as well.
He looked at the moon overhead, but reflected in his eyes was the moon in his mories.
By now, he could easily recall the fine details of his previous life.
So, he could be certain.
The moon before him was definitely not the moon of his previous world.
He... truly was no longer in his holand.
And just as he was getting sentintal, a sharp scream rang by his ear.
"Ah!!?"
"You scared !"
Kreti suddenly sprang back, almost attacking on reflex... no, she actually did, lashing out with a kick straight at him.
Thankfully her reflex counterattack was still under control; she stopped just short in front of Herbert, barely missing him.
Herbert: ?
What kind of reaction is that?
Do I look that scary?
"When did you get here! Why didn’t you make any sound!?"
Kreti stared in shock, then seed to realize sothing and muttered, "...Oh, right, I blocked out all sound myself."
"Hey, that’s not on . You guys were so loud..."
Herbert: ???
The mood!
Damn it, where’s that gloomy-Goddess vibe you had just now!!?
Give it back!
