Diary of the Improper Monster Girl Transformation.

Chapter 476 I Only Need You
【"How about it?"】

The gods whispered gently in my ear, slowly and persuasively persuading me:

"If you wish, I can help you seize this body and turn it into your puppet shell."

【"Hehe~"】

"Think about it, this is a demigod-level puppet~"

The deity kept whispering and enticing in the partner's ear: "A powerful puppet that can be easily controlled without paying any price!"

Herbert was naturally tempted by such a free benefit.

That's a demigod!

He had just witnessed firsthand the terrifying power of the demigod squirrel—and it was an incomplete demigod, with certain flaws.

Now, this sacred tree clearly feels more powerful to him than the white squirrel.

It is definitely not just a demigod tree... there are more complex origins behind it.

For example, from a deity whose true form is a tree.

Are they His offspring?
Was he His apostle?
Or perhaps, fragments?

Either way, it would elevate the value of this treasure to a whole new level.

This is like a windfall!

However, after his initial surprise, Herbert quickly made up his mind after a moment's thought and gave a direct answer.

"no need."

His answer was calm and firm, without any hesitation or regret.

It was as if, in his eyes, the demigod puppet that was so readily available was of no value whatsoever.

"Oh? You're rejecting me already? You won't even reconsider?"

Nenasha's voice remained calm as she continued, "If you miss this opportunity, there won't be another one."

"This opportunity is indeed rare, with low risk and high reward. From this point of view, it is a very good challenge."

"It's possible, but I think... it's not necessary."

Herbert's attitude remained unchanged, as firm as ever, holding the same stance—it's possible, but unnecessary.

It's not that Herbert looked down on the Sacred Tree; demigod power is still very appealing.

Herbert wasn't sure if he could defeat this seemingly resilient giant tree if he sent his strongest fighter, Valentina at her peak, to fight it all out.

Will it win?
We'll win... right?

Even though Herbert understood how appealing the Sacred Tree's power was, he didn't crave it much.

Some things can be taken.

But some things, once you pick them up, can get hot.

What he earned himself is his.

What you get for free from others is never truly yours.

Well, Nenasha isn't "anyone," so there's no need to be wary of her.

He is different.JPG
Today, with Nenasha's help, he can easily obtain this demigod's body.

Tomorrow, the entity behind this sacred tree may also find itself by following the clues.

When that time comes, what you'll have to give up might not be as simple as just giving back what you've gained.

The opponent, even a fragment of his clone, is already a demigod... So what was the strength of this powerful figure at his peak?

Herbert released his grip, withdrawing his consciousness from the Misty Sacred Tree, and said with a faint smile, "Even you deliberately tempted me, so I guess He must be one of those beings' avatars?"

"The Lord of Nature?"

He asked a question first, and then, without waiting for Nenasa's answer, said in a confident tone:

"Yes, it is the Lord of Nature."

Although Herbert didn't know much about the great being who sacrificed himself to save the world, he had heard of him.

He was a truly sublime person who had transcended base desires.

And... He's very good at fighting.

This is clearly a neutral, super-powerful entity; it's best to avoid provoking them if possible.

It's definitely better to make a good relationship than an enemy.

"Besides, what if I take over this body and someone mistakes me for someone else?"

“What if the offspring of the Lord of Nature don’t recognize me? Do I have to listen to them calling me ‘father’?”
"Wouldn't that be incredibly awkward? How could I do something so despicable... Hmm? Wait, don't say it, ouch!"

Herbert blinked, savoring the feeling, and muttered to himself in a subtle tone, "It seems, hmm, this feeling, seems pretty good?"

For men, the idea of ​​being someone else's "father" is really very attractive.

Herbert suddenly hesitated.

Why don't we give it a try?
Herbert struggled with the decision, but ultimately chose the optimal solution at the moment.

Well, being a dad is certainly fun, but let's play it safe for now.

However, it is clear that some people are not satisfied with this "uninteresting" result.

"Ugh! This is so boring~"

Nenasha let out a long, coquettish sigh, instantly dissipating the mysterious atmosphere she had painstakingly created, and her tone returned to its usual nonchalant manner.

"However, well, this choice is indeed very Herbert-like~"

He was not at all surprised by Herbert's final choice.

This boy, no, this man—Herbert, whom I love—has always had this kind of personality.

Faced with such temptation, he was always able to remain calm, keep his rationality intact, and analyze the situation to arrive at the optimal solution.

He always manages to find the most reasonable reason to convince himself.

But in reality, those are just superficial reasons, excuses used to appease others and himself.

There's only one reason why he made the right choice—he didn't like it.

He only showed disdain for those "temptations".

In His view, Herbert appeared kind and gentle on the surface, but deep down he was a guy who was extremely confident in himself, even to the point of arrogance.

Extremely self-centered.

Herbert believed that he could have made it to the end even without resorting to these underhanded methods.

—If they both work together.

Nenasha knew that she was one of Herbert's sources of confidence.

snort!
Although I'm only "one of" them, I'm definitely the biggest one!!!

As for those other crooked and ugly guys, like that bullshit sun god or silver moon goddess... you bunch of bitches can't beat me!
Nenasha's only perceived enemies have always been gods of the same rank, for only they can make her feel even the slightest threat.

As for the other monster girls... hehe.

Do you compete with your cat or dog for attention?
Nenasa definitely wouldn't do that.

He will not target them maliciously; on the contrary, He will help them and make their "value" even higher.

These little animals, which He regards as "cats and dogs," are His future capital for fighting against humans!

This is all my family's wealth!
It's all thanks to my great kindness and virtue that you are where you are today! Nenasha's thoughts—can't be entirely wrong.

After all, if we had to put it bluntly, without His initial investment in Herbert, the story between Valentina and the others and Herbert would never have happened.

Regardless of whether the so-called god of humor has changed his mind or whether his actions were strict with himself, let me ask you, is he right or wrong?
Is this what happened? Is this the situation?
right?

That’s it!
Of course, although Nenasha never expected Herbert to be bewitched from the beginning, she was still somewhat dissatisfied with being rejected so easily.

"Well, while this answer wasn't exactly unexpected, your decisive and ruthless approach still leaves me quite impressed!"

That's boring!
Honestly, even though I know you're a strong-willed person, you don't mean you won't give me even a chance to sway you, do you?
But your complete lack of cooperation makes this evil god feel quite embarrassed!
There's absolutely no sense of interaction!
This will make my game experience very unpleasant, as a deity!

So, in order to make his partner understand this, he chose a way that was very unbecoming of a god, but also very girlish.

He chose to act coquettishly.

【"Hmm~ Hmm~ Heh~ Ha~"

Nena said nothing, but made strange noises in Herbert's ear.

Like a lament, like a yearning, like a weeping, like a plea, the sound echoes through the empty valley, the sorrow lingering and fading away!
He made his stance clear, no, very loudly—friend, now it's time to coax me, or else, hehe, don't blame me for crying loudly!

At this moment, hearing the commotion around him, even if Herbert were slow-witted, he would know what to do.

Moreover, he is not slow-witted to begin with.

"hehe."

Herbert immediately understood what Nenasa meant, smiled, and reassured her with a smile, "I don't need to become it because I believe I only need you, and I don't need anyone else's help."

He didn't explain much of his thoughts, but simply stated his attitude very directly.

All I want is you.

Nenasha, I don't need anyone else, I just need your help.

Firm stance!

As for the blessings of a certain sun goddess, the blessings of a certain moon goddess, and the help of a certain ice goddess... none of that was of my own volition!

It was all because of these slutty and shameless women; they came to us on their own initiative!
I simply didn't refuse.

Yes, I'm a victim too!
Nenasha didn't entirely believe Herbert's explanation; instead, she gave a wry, amused laugh.

"Hmph~ Is that so?"

"Mmm~ I see."

Faced with Herbert's "deeply affectionate and honest" demeanor, Nenasha smiled without saying a word.

You say nice things, but do you think I don't know who you are?
I saw it all with my own eyes!
Don't forget, I was right beside you while you were conquering those little guys!
Do you think these sweet words will work?
Hey, there really is.

As the only person in the world who had personally witnessed Herbert's ability to speak to people in a way that suited them perfectly, Nenasha reluctantly accepted his assurance.

"Well, since you've said that, I'll magnanimously forgive you." Miss Harmony magnanimously declared that she was a person who wouldn't hold a grudge against a petty person.

Although He knew Herbert was probably just fooling Him, He was willing to listen anyway.

What's wrong?
He'd say, "I'm willing, it's none of your business!"
I'd love to!
Of course, even though I didn't care anymore, I still had to pretend to be reluctant on the surface.

"Ha, men."

Hey, woman.

Herbert chuckled inwardly, not wanting to expose his little trick by the "Miss Humor."

You're so old, how can you still be so childish?

【"Hmm? Are you...?" The certain comedic genius is as perceptive as ever in certain areas.

"Cough! No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

Herbert quickly steered the conversation away from the awkward topic, and instead asked, "By the way, now that we've given up on controlling it, is there any way to establish contact with it?"

“I don’t want it to actually crash into Eldar; such a big tree could cause a lot of problems.”

If possible, Herbert still hopes that the tree can stay here and not cause any more trouble.

The commotion here might not attract the attention of the monastery, but what if it does?

A tree this tall is hard to miss.

Although, even if it were to be exposed, the invincible old man would most likely just turn a blind eye and pretend he didn't see it.

But others have eyes too.

If the others in the monastery discovered this unusual activity and reported it to the higher-ups, Old Deng couldn't possibly stop them from coming to investigate.

Herbert wanted to nip any risks in the bud that might be exposed prematurely.

"Oh, yes, there are."

Nenasha was in a good mood, or rather, she rarely felt down, and had long since returned to normal. She casually said, "You're still a little short, but once you've fully transcended, your soul will be qualified to hear its call through its own power."

"rely on me?"

Herbert immediately realized what was happening and asked, "Can you help me establish contact with it?"

"Of course~ In fact, what's so difficult about it? It's just that the squirrel's soul is too weak to hear, right?"

Hearing Nenasha's taunts, Herbert silently raised his head and saw the demigod squirrel peeking around fearfully from the treetop.

This person really put all their points into stamina, not a single point into intelligence.

The white squirrel hadn't figured out what was going on for half a day. It thought there was something wrong with the sacred tree itself and was trying to communicate with it.

"Hoo! What happened! Lord Sacred Tree! Are you in trouble?"

As it spoke, it tapped on the tree trunk, trying to wake it up.

Herbert, recalling Miss Harmony's earlier words, raised an eyebrow, a troubling thought forming in his mind: "It... can hear us?"

"Yes, I can keep hearing the squirrel's voice, but the squirrel isn't responding."

?

Herbert couldn't help but cast a pitying glance at the white squirrel.

“Poor thing.”

This guy has always thought the other person was deaf, little did he know that he was the one who was turning a deaf ear to others.

"It's so pitiful!"

Herbert was referring to the white squirrel who hadn't grasped the situation, while Nena was expressing sympathy for the sacred tree whose ears were probably calloused from hearing it so much.

"It's been harassed by this one-sided noise for years, and it doesn't even get angry. It's really too good-natured."

……

……

And just as Herbert was trying to establish a connection with the sacred tree.

An epic meeting took place in Erdane.

Upon arriving in the city, Casey met two girls of similar age.

Casey: "Hmm?"

Theresa: "Huh?"

Yunier: "Oh?"
