Diary of the Improper Monster Girl Transformation.

Chapter 390 I Like Passive Mode (Happy Labor Day, please vote!)
Yes, you heard me right!

"I'm going to take you to the headquarters of the Church of the Sun God, the glorious holy city of Solantis!"

"I'm not crazy, and I don't want to torture you."

"My purpose is to bring you a baptism."

"A cleansing of the soul!"

In the lava hell, Herbert waved his arms and gave a passionate speech.

"Yes, I am not persecuting you!"

"It's not that I'm here to save you!"

When Herbert finished his impassioned speech, the entire room fell silent—neither the devil nor the demon spoke, all staring intently at him.

They didn't say anything, but it was as if they said everything.

The scene became extremely awkward as the six eyes met.

"Cough cough."

Herbert coughed twice and asked casually, "Uh, well... don't you guys want to say something?"

"Uh……"

Flora tilted her head, puzzled, and looked at Herbert, raising her finger to point at herself.

Me, me?

Seeing the succubus's puzzled expression, Herbert nodded slightly, his playful smile fading, and said seriously, "Yes, I'm not joking."

"Come with me, let's go to the Holy City to purify our souls."

Purify your soul?
Even though Flora was incredibly confused, she couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing this.

"Pfft, haha! What are you saying? Hahaha!"

Sending a demon to the Holy City of Glory for baptism and purification... How could you even bring yourself to say that?

Why don't you let the angels escape from hell?
While Flora couldn't help but burst into laughter, Herbert watched her with a smile.

"Haha, uh!"

Flora's smile froze, and after a moment she realized what was happening, asking uncertainly, "Master... are you serious?"

At that moment, the smile that had vanished from her face had silently transferred to Herbert's face.

"Of course I'm serious, I'm not joking with you." The paladin chuckled and nodded.

"Believe me, I'm not making any bad jokes; I genuinely want to help you this way."

Herbert raised his hand and gently stroked Flora's hair, whispering, "Perhaps, this can free you from the torment of chaos for a long time."

! ! ?

Flora suddenly looked up and stared intently into Herbert's eyes.

Get out of the chaos?

"You found it?" she asked uncertainly.

"Hmm, that's probably feasible." Herbert nodded slightly.

"..."

Seeing the seriousness in Herbert's eyes, Flora closed her eyes, let out a long breath, and fell into deep thought.

A moment later, she opened her eyes and nodded earnestly to Herbert.

"I understand."

She bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Your servant Flora is at your command."

Flora wasn't sure if Herbert was telling the truth, but she chose to believe her young master nonetheless.

As Herbert had said before, the suppression of instinct this time was only temporary, and it would eventually be swallowed up by instinct again, leading to chaos.

Herbert promised to help her find a truly permanent solution and hoped she would be patient.

Flora had long been prepared for a long wait.

Ten years, twenty years, fifty years, one hundred years, or even several hundred years!
She can accept anything as long as it's less than a thousand years.

But to Flora's surprise, this opportunity came so quickly.

How long has it been?
It felt like the real solution was found in the blink of an eye... That's incredibly efficient!
If it were anyone else, Flora might not choose to believe them completely, thinking that the other person was just using such methods to deceive her and want her to work as a henchman.

But when it came to Herbert, she chose to trust him unconditionally.

Since you've made that promise, I'll choose to believe you.

This is not a blind preference, but a conclusion drawn over a period of "hundreds of years".

Even if the dream was unreal, Herbert was real.

During that long journey, she had seen through Herbert's true nature.

He may have a bad temper at times, like to make childish jokes, and is not a perfect person. He also has the flaw of being greedy at times.

However, Herbert never disappointed anyone in keeping his promises.

Herbert had an almost obsessive insistence on keeping his promises.

Perhaps this is an occupational hazard of being a paladin?

Keep your oath.

For paladins, forcing them to betray their oaths is no better than killing them.

Herbert was very pleased with Flora's obedience, nodded gently, and patted her little head happily.

"very good."

It feels good to be trusted.

Since Flora was able to so easily choose to believe him and be willing to do such an absurd thing with him, it proved that she had extraordinary trust in him.

This is good.

Herbert was very happy about this.

He laughed and ruffled Flora's hair vigorously, making a mess of her short pink hair before letting go.

"Alright, if none of you have any objections, then you two get ready, and I'll go talk to the others..."

Unfortunately, before Herbert could finish speaking, an untimely troublemaker interrupted.

"Please wait a moment!"

"Tsk."

Herbert pursed his lips and turned his head to look at his side.

Beside her, Miss Devil's expression froze completely, a miserable look on her face as if "her greatest anxiety had become a reality."

Why that expression?

It makes it seem like I'm persecuting her!
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Compared to his amiable demeanor towards Flora, Herbert's expression was not so kind when facing Kretty.

Steamed buns, are you not convinced?
"You, uh, I..."

Kreti, on the other hand, seemed to have lost her mind, struggling to organize her thoughts and failing to reply for a long time.

Herbert pursed his lips at the sight and teased, "Looks like you're really eager to go to Solantis. You're so excited you can't even speak. Don't stand on ceremony, I'm off."

After saying that, he pushed open the portal and prepared to leave.

Before Kretty can fully react, let's run!

"...Wait! I said wait a minute!"

As soon as Herbert took a step, Kretty woke up as if from a dream and rushed up, grabbing his leg and yelling, "Come back! Don't go!"

Kretty clung pitifully to her leg, gritted her teeth, and charged at Herbert, snarling, "Herbert! Explain yourself first!"

"Ok?"

Herbert, who had already stepped halfway into the doorway, stepped back, looked down at her strangely, and asked, "Is there a problem?"

This is just making conversation out of nothing.

Herbert knew perfectly well what Miss Devil wanted to ask; he was just deliberately trying to annoy her.

That bastard, I absolutely have to mess with him today!
Sure enough, Kreti immediately broke down and shouted, "What do you mean I have to go too?"

Herbert, puzzled, blinked and said, "That means exactly what it says, you come with me... Don't you understand?" He blinked again, his face tense, and sighed with pity, "No, you don't even understand this? Oh dear, that's really pitiful!"

"How about this? I'll set up a class for you guys, and you and Valentina can take some extra lessons together, okay?"

Kreti: ? ? ?

Are you insulting me?
Are you swearing at me?!
Miss Devil never imagined she would be so intellectually insulted.

One day, I was actually compared to that dragon by someone else!
What level is she at?
What level am I at?
Is there any intellectual comparability between these two?!

Kreti knew Herbert was deliberately mocking her, but she gritted her teeth and swallowed the humiliation.

Forbearance!

"No, of course that's not what I'm asking!"

"So what do you want to ask?"

She wasn't swayed by Herbert's attempt to steer the conversation off-topic, and continued to press, "I mean, what does this have to do with me?"

"And do you even know what this means? You're sending me to His kingdom, do you want us to die?!"

Flora might be willing to go crazy with Herbert, but she wouldn't.

To the earthly kingdom of the sun god?
No, are you two mentally ill?

are you crazy?
Flora, in particular, simply couldn't understand it.

It's one thing for him to go crazy, but are you going to go crazy along with him?

Strictly speaking, if Kreti had actually reached Solantis, she would have suffered less than Flora.

The devil will only feel pain from an overly strong sense of justice, while the demon will also suffer from an extreme order.

"Herbert, do you want to kill her?"

After being questioned by Flora, Herbert shrugged and chuckled, "You don't need to worry about that. I took Flora there to help her get rid of her instincts."

As he spoke, his expression suddenly became subtle, and he teased, "Besides, you seem to care a lot about Flora, so worried about her?"

Flora raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Kreti with a rather strange expression, her thoughts unreadable.

!!!

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Kretty gritted her teeth, forcibly ignoring the uncomfortable gaze, and stared at Herbert: "What about taking me with you?"

"Flora is being tormented by her instincts. I didn't ask you to help me fight them! Why are you dragging me along?"

"What's your reason for taking me there? Give me a reason!"

Faced with Miss Devil's questioning, Herbert raised his hand, stroked his chin, and whispered, "Want a reason?"

He thought about it seriously for a moment, then suddenly laughed, snapped his fingers, nodded and said with a smile, "I'll be very happy."

This unexpected answer shocked the other two people present.

"Eh?"

"Um???"

Kretty's expression twisted slightly, her eyes widened, and she said incredulously, "You mean..."

Looking at Herbert's cheerful smile, Miss Devil had a strange sense of déjà vu.

At that moment, she felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if she were home.

This is……

Herbert nodded as she expected, and said happily, "That's right, just as you thought! I'll be very happy to see you looking so miserable."

!!!

Miss Devil's expression froze completely, then came to life after a moment, and she roared, "Herb! T! T!"

That expression, those eyes, that awful personality... Yes, you're the devil!

Fuck!
After realizing that Herbert was almost a devilish duke in terms of personality, Kretty completely gave up the idea of ​​trying to win him over.

it's useless.

Because Kretty understands that for the devil, the more pain his enemy suffers, the happier he will be.

The more grief and indignation Herbert displayed, the happier he became.

In the end, she just pouted, glared fiercely at Herbert, and said angrily, "I will absolutely not give in! Humph!"

She was prepared to retreat directly to the deepest part of the Bronze Fortress the moment Herbert lowered his guard.

Although it may not be possible to resist for long, at least we must show our will to resist!
Perhaps Herbert would find it troublesome and then abandon himself.

Herbert stared at Kreti for a while, then suddenly softened his tone and asked with a smile, "So, you absolutely won't go to Solantis with me willingly, there's no room for negotiation, right?"

Have the opportunity?
Kreti sensed the change in Herbert's tone and her heart stirred, but on the surface she maintained her unyielding attitude.

We can't change our minds so quickly; we need to keep up the act for a while longer.

"Humph!"

"That's...what a pity!"

Her performance was so decisive that Herbert shook his head regretfully and sighed, "In that case, you'll have no choice but to come with us."

Kreti: ? ? ?

No, do I absolutely have to go?

Just as Miss Devil was completely baffled, Miss Succubus smiled with her lips pursed, her expression a mix of tension and shrug.

"Pfft! Haha, cough cough..."

When Kreti's gaze fell on her, Flora coughed twice and pointed.

"Um, Kreti, I suggest you look back before you answer."

Looking back?

Kreti frowned in confusion, suspecting that the other party was planning some childish tricks to capture her the moment she turned around.

But seeing Flora's expression, which was about to break down, she suddenly sensed something.

Could it be that……

Hesitantly, Kreti finally mustered her courage and slowly looked behind her.

"……hiss!"

Behind her, a teleportation portal had silently opened without anyone noticing.

Inside the door was a huge, scarlet vertical pupil, which had been staring at her for who knows how long.

...Gurgle.

Miss Devil silently swallowed, hearing Herbert's soft chuckle behind her.

"So, are you willing to come with me now?"

Kreti remained silent.

She glanced at Herbert, then at the dragon's eye before her.

After a moment, she slowly nodded and said with difficulty, "...I'm willing."

“I’m not forcing you, am I? If you really don’t want to go, I won’t force you,” Herbert said considerately.

You devil!
Miss Devil grumbled inwardly, trying hard to control her expression—she could sense that the dragon was looking for an opportunity to cause trouble.

"It's alright, please don't worry, I like being passive... Yes, it's all my own choice!"

Kreti took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and said fiercely, "You know, I've always had a deep... longing for Solantis!"

Yes, I really want to go!
I fucking want to go!

"Haha, very good..."

Just as Herbert was smiling and preparing to continue teasing Miss Devil for "discretion is the better part of valor," he heard a disgruntled voice coming from behind the door.

Valentina stared at him and scoffed, "Where are you planning to sneak off to?"

"Uh, that..."

"I don't care! I want to go too!"
