Diary of the Improper Monster Girl Transformation.

Chapter 478 The Girls' (?) First Encounter

Elda territory recently welcomed a new group of residents.

It was a group of about two hundred beastmen, the majority of whom were elderly, weak, sick, disabled, pregnant women and children. The few adult beastmen who could be used as fighting force were mostly injured.

Fortunately, the territory never needed the fighting power provided by these subjects, as the great lord always protected them personally.

After a short while of adjustment, the newly arrived beast-eared clan breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, they were not discriminated against by the indigenous people.

Families who frequently experience homelessness know that the most important thing for integrating into a new community is not to be disliked by the original inhabitants.

As long as you're not disliked, it's fine even if the other person is extremely indifferent.

After arriving at their new home, which the adult called "Elda," they experienced something very different from what they had experienced before.

Unlike in the past, the gazes cast upon them by those foreign races showed no disgust, but rather a sense of curiosity.

What are they curious about?
This discovery made the members of the Beast-Eared Clan slightly uneasy.

If those probing gazes hadn't been so pure, and even carried a hint of friendliness, they probably would have been worried for quite some time.

Ultimately, the ancestral spirit Kemora, who was extremely sensitive to the emotions of others, probably figured out what these people were thinking—they seemed to be curious about their place in the world.

Kamora: Huh?
After repeatedly confirming his discovery, He told all his people about it.

Yes, these people don't care about their own ugliness, no one cares about the curse they bear...

Instead, they were thinking and discussing what role the beast-eared clan members should play in this territory.

Moreover, He also noticed that the inhabitants of His territory were not the humans He had initially assumed, or any single race.

This place is actually a mixed settlement of various strange races!

Although their numbers are small, different species of creatures are able to live together in harmony.

"Such a place actually exists in this world..." the ancestral spirit uttered a silent sigh.

Kemora was no country bumpkin who had never seen the world. During the thousand years of wandering of the Beast-eared Clan, He witnessed firsthand all kinds of scenery along the way.

Even in His long memory, He had never seen a place like Eldar.

The beastmen have tried to coexist with other races, but each time they have been betrayed and driven away.

Even in those communities that claim to be multi-ethnic settlements, beneath their seemingly peaceful exteriors, there are always undercurrents of unrest.

Blood feuds, greed, and interests between different races... all sorts of malice lurk in the shadows.

Malice may remain silent under strong rules, but it will never disappear out of thin air.

But Elda was different. Kemora could feel the atmosphere here; there was true harmony among these different races.

He never imagined that such a place could actually exist in the world.

A corner of equality, harmony, and peace.

This discovery also eased the tension between Kemora and the members of the Beast-Eared Clan.

When they decided to leave their homeland and come to their new home, they were filled with gratitude and awe for Herbert, but they were also filled with unease and hesitation about the future.

Now, that anxiety of gaining and losing has mostly dissipated.

This place is like the home they've always dreamed of.

Although the place looks a bit rudimentary and isn't very big, it's enough for them.

Their demands have never been high; they just want a corner to live in.

Simple conditions are not a problem; they can work together to build a better home!
They are very content now!
As the beast-eared clans breathed a sigh of relief, Kaimora also felt a sense of accomplishment, realizing that her previous decisive choice had been absolutely correct.

"Fortunately, we didn't test the waters at the time, and therefore didn't interfere in any way..."

If they hadn't immediately bowed down in worship, they might not have even been qualified to come here.

In fact, Kaimora's idea was not wrong.

If, under those circumstances, Kemora had failed to recognize the situation and foolishly tested Herbert, he would certainly have stood by and watched these people die.

Anyway, these were responsibilities assigned to Herbert by the natural pantheon, not something he actively sought out. Even if all these people were to die, it wouldn't have much to do with him.

On the contrary, it was Cathy and Camora's outstanding performance that made Herbert change his mind and decide to make them his followers.

—And incidentally, take this opportunity to extort a sum from the natural pantheon.

It seems that after arriving in Elda, the Beast-Eared Clan can finally feel at ease.

But Kemora did not let his guard down.

He knew very well that simply coming here was not the end; it was merely the beginning.

The beast-eared clan's work is far from over.

Their top priority right now is to build good relationships with other indigenous peoples!

Everything the beast-eared clan possesses today was bestowed upon them by that great being; whether they can continue to have such a future depends entirely on His will.

From the perspective of those in power, the lord certainly hopes that his servants can get along amicably.

Unfortunately, Kemora is more of a spirit, and cannot easily manifest himself. Not everyone can sense him, which makes it difficult for him to show his goodwill to others.

But that's alright, He can bend down and convey His thoughts through the mouths of His people.

This important task was naturally entrusted to Casey, the most promising and sociable member of the Beast-Ear Clan.

"Our ancestral spirits, please bless us and guide us as you have in the past."

Casey knew that although she was good at socializing, she was definitely lacking in experience.

In order to help the clansmen build good relations with others in the territory, the help of the Ancestral Spirit is essential.

"Don't worry, child, I will help you," Kemora promised.

And Casey did not disappoint the clan.

With her innate talent for socializing and with Kemora's guidance, she quickly made a very good first impression on the others in the territory.

It's really hard not to like an obedient, sensible, and cheerful little girl—especially when she's also very pretty.

Even the centaur lady, who was always "fair and impartial" to everyone except Herbert, gave Casey a friendly smile.

Just as Casey finished visiting the priest of the Ice Goddess and was about to tell her people the good news, she encountered two girls returning from outside.

A girl with a human body and a snake tail walked ahead angrily, with a smiling little priest wrapped around her tail.

It looked as if the snake-woman girl had returned from a hunting trip.

At the very moment they happened to meet, the three "girls" all had a thought of surprise.

Theresa: "Huh?"

For this gluttonous snake, the appearance of the beast-eared clan not long ago was a complete surprise.

At that moment, she had only one thought in her mind: Lord Herbert has brought new subjects again?
However, she wasn't actually surprised.

It doesn't matter if he's a beastman or whatever.

Because this must be another poor soul who was bravely saved by Lord Herbert!
Ah!
"So you did it again."

The girl, who had previously thought she hadn't revealed her secret to anyone, blinked and thought to herself, "Truly worthy of my admiration for Lord Herbert! Your kindness and bravery are truly admirable!"

She was unaware of Herbert's true purpose and always believed that he was genuinely doing a great cause to allow all monsters to coexist peacefully.

Theresa had been trying to get in touch with Casey and the others, but they seemed a bit too nervous, so she didn't take the initiative to approach them.

And now, it seems like a perfect opportunity to get familiar with it!

She stared at the stiff-faced Casey, thinking to herself, "Cat ears, cat tail...so small, she looks so cute!"

"Oh! It's white! Lord Herbert's hair is white too."

The girl blinked her eyes, and simply because of that white hair, her first impression of Casey was immediately elevated to friendly.

But for Yunier, who was bound by the snake's tail, or rather for Euphemia, the goddess of winter, the feeling was different.

Yunier: "Oh?"

He looked at Casey, a thought flashing through his mind—wait, I hadn't noticed before, another cute little one has arrived?
The goddess of winter was very satisfied with Elda's life, mainly because there were many adorable little creatures there that would awaken her maternal instincts.

The goddess of winter has never hesitated to show her maternal instincts, often falling in love with one man after another...

This kitten is cute, I like this little snake too, and that little pony is really interesting...

In this respect, the goddess of winter is actually quite similar to Herbert—both are very loving.

Um, although my silly little cat at home is very cute!
But the ones on the outside are cute too, aren't they?
The little ones are still waiting for me to take care of them~
Previously, the Goddess of Winter would try her luck outside; if she encountered one, she would bring her home, and if she didn't, she would just let it go.

However, after arriving in Eldar, He discovered that He no longer needed to make an effort.

He was very close to Herbert's aesthetic sense; all the little creatures he brought were ones that he found adorable!

Of course, those who are unacceptable, such as the gray dwarves, have already been automatically ignored and excluded by Him.

In short, for this goddess, as long as she stays here, she can get a constant stream of cute and adorable things for free.

That's a great deal!

Later, when the beast-eared clan was brought to the scene, He was even more pleased.

Look!

He sent over another batch of adorable new little guys—oh, those beastmen that Freya mentioned before.

At that moment, even the Goddess of Winter, who knew Herbert's record, was somewhat astonished after realizing this.

Wow, that was fast!
"His efficiency is too high! It's only been a few days, and he's already brought this whole group over?"

My kitten just passed the message to him not long ago, right?

He turned around and brought the person over?
"Indeed, you're the most interesting little guy, Herbert. I'm becoming more and more interested in you!"

The goddess of winter's interest in Herbert grew stronger, and she longed to hug him and praise him profusely!
"Now is a great opportunity to get to know her~ I think her name is Casey? That should be it... Oh?"

Then, before He could think much about the new cute creature, He noticed Kemora attached to Casey's soul.

"This feels like the ancestral spirit of this little one's clan has possessed her? She has such talent!"

"That's really good!"

While Theresa was pondering how to start the conversation, and the Goddess of Winter was thinking about how to get closer to her... Casey was completely lost.

Casey: "Hmm?"

She didn't actually notice anything; her surprise was entirely due to the reaction of the ancestral spirit in her mind.

The Ancestral Spirit seems to have lost his composure.

At this moment, Kaimora panicked.

As a false god, Kemora may be weak and incompetent in terms of strength, but his rank is not low.

It's at least somewhat related to "gods".

He is able to perceive things that mortals cannot.

The moment Casey saw Eunil, He sensed danger.

!!!

To be precise, it was the presence of those in positions of authority that was felt.

That one glance made Him feel ashamed and he abruptly looked away!

No, no, no, no, no!!!

That wasn't some naive young female priest... That was a god!
True God!

That girl's body actually contains the will of a true god?!?

Those favored by the gods?
Another true god?
The strength here seems to be even greater than I imagined!
However, when Kaimora cautiously tried to sense it again, she found nothing.

The girl looked innocent and adorable, with a pure and harmless appearance.

It was as if what Kemora had just felt was merely a small illusion of His.

"..."

Would this ancestral spirit, valued by Herbert for his intelligence, believe it?

Obviously not.

How could I possibly be mistaken!
However, He didn't expose it, and He knew how to react—I didn't see anything.

"Lord Ancestral Spirit, what happened?" Casey asked innocently.

"...There's nothing there, you don't need to worry about it."

Kamora didn't reveal anything to Casey, only instructing her, "Perform well, and it would be best if you could become friends with them... That lord would certainly be happy to see this."

Although Casey sensed that the Ancestral Spirit's answer was insincere, she obediently refrained from asking further questions, instead offering a genuine smile and greeting the two people over there.

Hello everyone! I'm Casey—

The girls were all eager to befriend each other, and they quickly became acquainted after exchanging only a few words.

Interestingly, of the three people in this scene, only Theresa is a truly adorable and innocent young girl.

The remaining two are a natural social being with a personal ancestral spirit, and a benevolent goddess dressed in a girl's skin.

Less than half of the samples are actually from young girls!
The levels in humans are even more alarmingly low!
……

……

While the girls were getting close to each other, Herbert encountered a situation that left him speechless.

"What's happening here?"

Herbert frowned, looking at the seemingly silent tree with a puzzled expression, silently asking himself:

"Why is it singing?"

"and……"

Hearing the noise filling his ears, Herbert finally couldn't take it anymore and complained in bewilderment:
"And you sing so terribly?!"
