Diary of the Improper Monster Girl Transformation.

Chapter 479 You can be a little more greedy!
"Do you have any idea?"

The white squirrel looked at Herbert with some curiosity, observing his confident demeanor.

Huh?
This guy seems to have suddenly become a different person; his demeanor has changed slightly.
It's like he's become more mature, more...masculine?

Strange, what just happened?
Herbert noticed the white squirrel's curious gaze, but didn't explain to it that his first kiss of the day had just been stolen.

He pursed his lips silently and raised his chin slightly.

No need, haha, such a trivial matter as being forcibly kissed by a female hooligan is not worth mentioning and doesn't need to be publicized.

【"Um?"】

Instead of answering the white squirrel's question, Herbert said, "Guardian, if you wish to establish a connection with the Sacred Tree... I can help you."

! ! ?

The white squirrel was still trying to figure out what had happened to Herbert, but upon hearing this, it suddenly looked up and immediately asked.

"Hoo-hoo!!? Think about it! What should I do?"

The white squirrel had long wanted to make proper contact with the sacred tree, and upon hearing that Herbert had a solution, it jumped excitedly—more than five meters high.

Seeing its excited expression, Herbert's smile grew even brighter, but he still gave irrelevant answers.

他 说:

"In that case, you can come with me."

?

White squirrel: "Huh?"

……

……

"Uh, wait a minute, let me think about it some more,"

After a long pause, the white squirrel, seemingly understanding but not quite, shook its head and muttered, "You mean I don't need to keep repeating this?"

"Correct."

It wrinkled its nose and muttered in confusion, "My previous method was wrong. I didn't need to say so much. Actually, as long as my heart is sincere enough, the sacred tree can hear my voice?"

"Yes."

The white squirrel's eyes showed even more confusion as it asked, puzzled, "But I was very sincere before! Why did it ignore me?"

It doesn't understand!

Seeing the white squirrel so focused, Herbert also took it seriously and said in a deep voice, "That's because it's concentrating on singing and can't hear anyone else's voice at all."

"You know death rock? It's the kind of rock that makes people die."

"what?"

"That's a genre of song. The real key is that it probably didn't hear what you said, but I could."

"Ah this..."

The white squirrel blinked repeatedly as Herbert spoke, unsure of what he was talking about, and harbored some doubts.

However, looking at his confident and certain expression, I always felt that he was not lying to me.

His face was full of bewilderment and awe.

I have a feeling that what he said is actually true!

It believed it.

White squirrels are not actually that innocent.

Even though she's a squirrel who doesn't interact much with outsiders, her demigod-level intelligence allows her to handle most "problems" and "problem-makers."

But it was too confident.

He was certain that Herbert wouldn't dare to deceive him.

Hmph, he's already witnessed my super strength, he definitely doesn't have the guts to lie to me!

As the "Guardian of the Sacred Tree" who is invincible in the central region of the Misty Mountains, it is well aware of how terrifying its power is.

This kid definitely doesn't have the courage to deceive the great guardian!
Unfortunately, it was wrong.

Herbert not only dared to deceive it on trivial matters, but also planned to deceive the entire squirrel.

Herbert looked at the increasing confusion on the squirrel's face and nodded secretly.

well.

Family, we found a squirrel, and it wants to come home with me!

From the very beginning, the idea master of Misty Mountains had his sights set on the white squirrel, intending to lure it back to his territory.

“Oh…you mean, you can’t do it now, but once you return to your territory, you’ll be able to establish a connection with the Sacred Tree.”

"That's right, the connection with the sacred tree will have to wait a while longer. Once that's done, I'll be able to help you speak to it."

Herbert answered the white squirrel's various questions with a smile, easily helping it find the answers.

He had already confirmed that this demigod squirrel did not have much blood on it, so even if he threw a detection spell on it, it wouldn't be a problem.

He's not a bad person.

Judging from the alignment, it's probably influenced by the Holy Tree, placing it in a neutral position, a natural alignment.

We can win them over.

I dare to have in-depth conversations with even evil-faction monster girls, so why would I be afraid of a neutral-faction squirrel like you?

What a joke.

After initially determining that there was a possibility of success, Herbert secretly analyzed the situation and had already come up with a fairly comprehensive plan while the two sides were still struggling.

"Very good. Although you have keen intuition, you don't have the special ability to see through lies. Apart from your proud personality, you are not inherently bad."

"Its appearance is harmless and even somewhat cute. As long as we pay attention to its super strength, it should be able to get along well with other people."

"Cute, controllable, easy to bully... cough cough."

The more he looked at these harmless squirrels, the more pleasing they seemed to him; his eyes were practically overflowing with satisfaction.

"Look at this local from the Misty Mountains, he even has his own mobile villa. He'd be perfect as a bodyguard!"

This little squirrel was born to be in my arms.

After watching Herbert's actions for a while, Nenasha had long figured out what he was up to and ruthlessly retorted.

"Hey, haven't you noticed? You're getting really sick! You've even reached the point where you're not even going to spare a squirrel!"

Are you even human?

They don't even spare squirrels!
Herbert curled his lip, completely unaware of the problem with his actions, and scoffed, "What do you know? It's not just a squirrel, it's a squirrel with demigod-level power."

"Should we just stand by and watch such a powerful force roam free outside instead of bringing it to our own territory?"

"That's a huge waste!"

"Moreover, I wasn't kidnapping it; I was just kindly helping it fulfill its wish and granting it a wish."

"As for whether it will eventually come with me, that's none of my business. I didn't force it, right?"

The more he talked, the more he felt that what he had done was truly great. He sighed inwardly, "Yes! I'm not doing this for myself. I just don't want it to be a stray anymore. I want to give it a home, uh, a nest."

"Fine, do whatever you want~"

Nenasha, too lazy to argue with this guy who was getting too carried away, casually said, "Don't bother with this kind of explanation anymore. I can't be bothered to call you out on it, ha."

"Besides, it's one thing to fool others, but don't end up fooling yourself too."

In response, Herbert calmly stated that he has always had a clear conscience, never uttered a lie, and is an honest man who doesn't talk much.

"I have a feeling that you seem to be..."

"You're mistaken. I just hope we can become friends."

Herbert smiled broadly, pulled out a handful of pine cones from somewhere, and handed them to the white squirrel.

"Here, eat up. If you're not full, I'll bring you more later."

"Well, okay..."

"Come on, let's play one more time." Finally, after half an hour of Herbert's rambling, the white squirrel's brain was completely overloaded.

It gave up thinking.

"Alright, alright, Hum! You've said it well, but don't say any more!"

The white squirrel's clear eyes were filled with confusion as it asked bluntly, "...So, just tell me directly what I should do now?"

There's no point in saying more!

Just tell me what you want!

"In fact, you don't need to do anything right now."

Herbert knew the time was right, so he said with a smile, "Now you just need to wait for my good news on the sacred tree, just like before."

"It's that simple?"

"Yes, it's that simple."

The white squirrel frowned slightly, stared at Herbert for a long time, and nodded slightly.

"...Hush."

It's not stupid.

The demigod's intuition allows the white squirrel to sense danger and instinctively avoid natural risks.

It also knew that Herbert seemed to be manipulating it, trying to make it believe his words.

There might be problems with what this person said, and one cannot completely trust it.

It had no choice but to believe it.

Because it is clearer that all the changes just now were caused by Herbert.

It was also because it was really looking forward to communicating with the sacred tree; it had been waiting for this day for many years.

If it is evil enough, then there will naturally be other solutions.

Killing Herbert and taking that magical leaf would be far too easy.

However, the white squirrel, who considered itself a great guardian of the sacred tree, could not bring itself to commit such a despicable act as plundering.

"Alright, since you've made such a promise, I'll believe you this once."

The incomplete demigod snorted and curled his lip:

"But if I find out you've lied to me, hoo! I'll make you understand what the price is for deceiving the great guardian of the sacred tree!"

Herbert smiled and bowed slightly in respect, saying, "Rest assured, that day will never come."

Ha, I won't let you catch me doing anything wrong!

The white squirrel nodded, turned to climb to the top of the tree, but stopped as soon as it reached the top, turned back, and suddenly shouted:
"Hey! You're not kidding me, are you?"

Its question came very suddenly, and it spoke in what it considered to be its most authoritative tone, which was sure to startle anyone with a guilty conscience.

Herbert, faced with this sudden attack, merely blinked in surprise and waved at it with a smile.

"Guardian, please believe me, everything I've done is for your own good."

I never said I wasn't lying to you!
……

……

A deep-water prison.

"you're lying."

Miss Mermaid stared at the latecomer, snorted in dissatisfaction, and swam away before he could touch her tail.

"How did I lie?"

Herbert wasn't surprised by Freyme's dissatisfaction. Undeterred, he leaned closer and asked with a light laugh, "I remember, I haven't ever lied to you, have I?"

Although I don't know what she's up to, it doesn't matter. I'll just play along with her act.

"You do have it, humph."

Freyme wrinkled her nose and snorted, turning her gaze to the side, and muttered in a low voice, lacking confidence, "You lied to me and said you would come to find me sooner."

Did I say that?

Herbert raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat surprised at the mermaid who had turned her head and was pouting.

No, whether I said it or not is actually not important at all.

"Oh, I see. It seems I was too slow to get back. I must apologize to you."

Herbert smiled and walked up to Freyme, then knelt on one knee and reached out to touch the seven-colored fish tail.

"..."

This time, Fremei didn't dodge anymore, letting Herbert gently lift her tail and press it against his cheek.

Herbert felt the slippery, cool sensation from the fishtail, his eyes crinkled, and his smile widened, yet he still "confessed" to himself:

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kept you waiting so long. I've made you wait here for far too long."

"Beautiful lady, can you forgive me?"

The hero, who had been away for a long time, looked up, winked at the lady waiting for his return, and smiled, "Or, how do you think I should be punished to appease you?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and wrapped the end of the fish tail around his neck, making a noose motion.

Inside the water dungeon, Freyme and Herbert stared at each other silently for a while, then burst into laughter at the same time.

Freyme laughed so hard her eyes were almost closed. She rolled her eyes at Herbert, her lips pursed, and said irritably, "Oh dear! Who wraps their tail around their neck like that!"

The small theater can't keep up with the performances!

She could no longer maintain her displeased expression, so she retracted her tail and flicked it twice.

"Okay, you didn't say that."

The mermaid swam gently and floated behind Herbert, pulling him into her arms and whispering in his ear, "Actually, I was the one who lied to you~ I was just too eager for you to come find me."

"My hero, can you forgive my impulsiveness this time?"

She made this request.

He responded immediately.

"of course."

Herbert, who was being held, raised his hand and placed it on Freyme's arm, smiling and shaking his head: "How could I be angry with you?"

But Freyme didn't let go, and instead asked, "You won't lie to me, will you? You won't agree verbally but secretly get angry behind my back, will you?"

?

Herbert couldn't see Freyme's expression behind him, so he didn't know if she was being coquettish or feeling uneasy. Therefore, he spoke more firmly and said softly, "No, I never lie."

“But I will.” A gentle voice came from behind.

Ok?
“I’ll say it’s okay, but then I’ll secretly be angry with myself and complain about why I didn’t enjoy the time I spent with you last time.”

The smooth fish tail gently wrapped around Herbert's waist, and the jade arm on his shoulder also tightened slightly.

Freyme held Herbert tightly, gently bit his ear, and whispered, "I would blame myself for being too greedy, wanting to keep you by my side forever."

She smiled, seemingly helpless against her possessiveness, and whispered, "My hero, I'm sorry, I'm a greedy little liar."

After somewhat losing her composure in expressing her thoughts, Freyme intended to let Herbert go and explain to him that she didn't actually intend to force him to make any promises.

This time, I was just a little too lonely and couldn't help myself.

He will recover eventually, and it will definitely not add any pressure to him.

However, Herbert did not let her leave. Instead, he grabbed her arm and forcibly turned her body around.

Eh?
"Herbert, I... um!"

Herbert first silenced Freyme's lips with a deep kiss, and only slowly released her after a moment.

"Huh?" Freyme blinked, a little confused about the process.

Herbert, at that moment, hugged the mermaid, whose expression looked somewhat aggrieved, tightly, pressed their foreheads together, and whispered:
"It's okay to be a little greedy."
