Diary of the Improper Monster Girl Transformation.

Chapter 490 You're Too Sensitive... (6.2K)
The fallen angel, his face frosty, slowly drew his longsword.

Clang.

"Oh, don't be angry anymore~"

Herbert reached out and pressed down on the longsword, which was not yet fully drawn, and forcefully pushed it back in.

Click.

"Come on, smile, give me some face, smile—come on, let's put down our swords and talk things out."

"Well, I noticed you haven't been back for so long, so I wanted to play a little joke on you... cough cough, okay, this joke wasn't funny, I promise I won't do the same thing again next time."

Clang!
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant... Uh, I meant, I'll never do that again!"

"I'll write it down!"

"Alright, alright, I swear, you'll take the sword off my neck first, okay, good boy..."

Click.

……

Inside the Aurora Sanctuary, Herbert, who had nothing better to do, spent a great deal of time and effort to finally coax the fallen angel lady who was about to draw her sword.

"call……"

After confirming that Lucille had truly calmed down and was turning his head away from everyone, Herbert forced a smile while secretly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

stimulate.

That's fucking exciting.

He touched his neck and could still feel the lingering chill.

I was so close to becoming a headless knight.

I do like monster girls, but I absolutely do not want to become a monster girl!

Furthermore, if you want to become a monster girl, it's not just your head that needs to be cut...

Having finally received temporary forgiveness and escaped danger, Herbert still couldn't help but continue to complain about his incompetent teammates.

"Nenesha, you've really put me through a lot."

You've really put me in a terrible situation!

Miss Harmony secretly curled her lip; she didn't think Herbert was genuinely afraid at all.

All you do is pretend.

Just keep pretending!

He pretended to be flustered on the surface, but secretly he was laughing his head off.

"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me if you're having fun or not!"

Sure enough, faced with this probing question, Herbert didn't hesitate for even half a second and gave the expected answer.

"happy!"

Herbert's lips curled up slightly as he thought to himself with delight, "I'm so happy to see Lucille so flustered."

Hehe, that's fun.

Have you ever seen an angel with its fur standing on end?

I have seen!
That was quite amusing.

Even the feathers on her back suddenly fluffed up from the base, making it look from a distance like she was carrying several fat chicken wings painted with ink.

Cute.

As for whether what I just did was a bit too reckless... that's not important.

Compared to the enjoyment gained, this small risk seems insignificant.

One moment of recklessness brings temporary pleasure, and the more reckless you are, the more pleasure you get.

It's true that courting death can bring people joy.

Even the evil god couldn't stand his ally's actions and commented fairly: "My dear ally, has anyone ever told you that your personality is truly awful?"

Yes, you are.

Herbert readily accepted the compliment, humbly stating that he was far from being as good as her: "Besides, aren't we even the same? Oh no, I'm far inferior to you; I've been influenced by you!"

"Yes! That's it! Otherwise, how could a paragon of paladins like me have ended up like this!"

【"Oh!"】

The God of Comedy simply responded with a cold laugh to such a blatant attempt to fool the devil.

Keep pretending!

So, did Herbert really lack self-awareness?
joke.

Yes, it's included.

Herbert was certainly aware that his personality could be described as quite "bad" to some extent.

Some people do bad things for ulterior motives, but Herbert's purpose in playing this prank was quite simple.

Because it's fun.

To some extent, if Herbert's personality were not controlled, he would most likely have become a villain who spread chaos indiscriminately for his own amusement.

However, Herbert was also a person with very strong self-control.

He knew very well what kind of madness was imprisoned within him, and he was even more adept at suppressing that negative self, disguising himself as a normal person, and performing as a qualified paladin.

"So, will you dare to do it again next time?"

"I'll dare you next time."

Herbert's answer was firm, resounding, and unwavering.

Admit your mistake?
Admit your mistake.

Will you make the same mistake again next time?
He committed the same offense again!

They honestly admit their mistakes, but refuse to repent.

"But you already promised them, and you even swore an oath."

"Then we'll just use different methods. Isn't it easy to find a completely new way? It's just about exploiting loopholes in the oath, which is something I'm good at."

After Herbert finished his internal monologue, Lucille finally recovered completely.

My wildly beating heart gradually calmed down, and my pounding soul finally regained its composure.

"..."

Lucille slowly opened her eyes as she turned her head and found that Herbert had walked up to her and was giving her a flattering smile.

Hey hey~
"Tsk."

She turned her head away, but found that Herbert had been moving parallel to her gaze, maintaining a relatively still position with her.

This guy, realizing he'd opened his eyes, shamelessly leaned closer and chuckled, "Hehehe~ Give me some face, don't be angry!"

He clasped his hands together and shook them continuously.

Please please~
"..."

Miss Fallen Angel was speechless.

Lucille wanted to continue ignoring Herbert, but he couldn't quite take his eyes off him.

Honestly, Lu Xier really didn't want to deal with this malicious guy anymore and planned to teach him a lesson.

But, well, but...

Looking at his adorable, puppy-like demeanor, especially his handsome face that surpasses most angels, and those beautiful, expressive eyes... it's really hard to be heartless.

The paladin cast [Charm] on the fallen angel.

The fallen angel has been affected!

Outstanding effect.

Charisma assessment – ​​a resounding success!

"Ugh!"

Lucille sighed deeply and finally broke his silence.

She sheathed her longsword, raised all four hands at the same time, and placed them on Herbert's cheeks, beginning to pull.

"Ouch—gently, gently, hey? Doesn't it hurt?"

Herbert had prepared himself to be brutally tortured, but after waiting for a long time, the pain did not come.

He didn't expect the fallen angel to be so gentle with him; she was just teasing him and didn't actually use force.

Lushier, you are so kind!

Herbert felt somewhat ashamed that the other party had repaid evil with kindness.

It’s broken.

Now, I've become the naughty little devil who teases the gentle older sister.

"Humph."

After delivering what was called a "punishment" as a "reward," Miss Fallen Angel didn't dwell on the prank she had just played. She raised her head high but then gently lowered it again.

Lucille was indeed frightened just now, that's for sure.

However, she also knew that the reason she was frightened was because she had not truly let go of her fear of the sun god.

She was still afraid of Him.

If she truly does as she proclaims—indifferent to Him, unafraid of Him, and completely free from Him—then Herbert will not frighten her at all; he will only humiliate himself.

Since I was frightened, it proves that I still have a lingering fear of my former master.

This wasn't a very interesting topic, and Luchill didn't want to discuss it further with Herbert.

The fallen angel thought for a moment, then changed the subject, asking, "Herbert, how did you disguise yourself just now?"

The fact that Herbert could frighten himself proves that his imitation of the sun god's descent had reached an astonishing level, so much so that even she, the former archangel, couldn't see through it at a glance.

Even the residual aura of the sun god on his body was so pure and so rich.

This is as if they were truly possessed by the will of the sun god.

That's a really convincing act!
This ability to disguise oneself is truly amazing...

"Disguise? What disguise?"

Herbert blinked, not immediately understanding what Lucille meant.

Could it be that you saw through my act of pretending to be stupid?
Wait, that can't be right.

I think I performed quite well!

Where did the deception slip up?

"Ok?"

"Hmm? Oh!"

The two looked at each other in confusion, and Herbert quickly came to his senses and understood the true meaning of Lucille's words.

He blinked again and said with a smile, "So that's what you were talking about... It's true, I wasn't pretending."

?

Now, a question mark appeared on the head of the fallen angel.

Eh?
What is this guy talking about?
This aura of the sun god, even more concentrated than that of the chosen ones, could not possibly be the real... um!!

The fallen angel froze again, feeling a bone-chilling cold wash over him.

! ! ?

She quickly took half a step back, staring at Herbert in disbelief, her words becoming incoherent.

"Really? Wait, what do you mean? You really mean... huh?"

Seeing Luchill's confusion, Herbert stopped trying to explain with words and instead chose to prove it directly with facts.

"hehe."

The paladin smiled and raised his hand, slightly channeling his holy power, and a faint flame appeared at his fingertips.

"Yes, this is not a false disguise. The source of this power comes from the blazing sun that you know so well."

Clang... Click!

Upon hearing this, Lucille instinctively drew his longsword from its sheath, but quickly regained his composure and pressed it back down.

She stared intently at Herbert, processing the news that sent shivers down her spine.

After a long silence, she bit her lip and said in a hoarse voice:
"...I don't quite believe it."

Don't you believe it?

The undeniable truth was right before his eyes. Even if Lu Xier refused to believe it, how could he possibly deceive himself?

She's just... a little unable to accept it right now.

Lucille gazed at the smiling boy before him with a complex expression, feeling a pang of sadness in his heart. Even you, have become His follower?
Even you have chosen to abandon me?

Herbert, seeing the undisguised disappointment in Lucille's eyes, offered no explanation but instead gave her a warm smile.

"Why wouldn't you believe it? Here, touch it and see if I'm lying to you."

Herbert spread his arms and gestured to the fallen angel, as if to say, "Come on! Come on, take me!" He then took a step forward.

The two were already very close, and with this step, Herbert was almost pressed against Luchill.

"Herbert, you... um?"

Lucille wanted to ask Herbert if she had already sided with the Sun God, betrayed her secret of being here, and was sent by Him to hunt her down.

But before asking the question, Lu Xier suddenly sensed a strong sense of unease.

She didn't sense the fanatical aura characteristic of Herbert, nor did she feel that fervent faith in the blazing sun.

Eh?
Wait, something seems off?

Miss Fallen Angel tentatively raised her hand, wanting to touch Herbert's skin and feel it more carefully, but then hesitated.

She worried that this was another misjudgment on her part, and was filled with anxiety, fearing that her hopes would be dashed.

"What's there to be shy about? Didn't we just touch each other?"

Herbert chuckled at her pitiful, timid appearance, then took her hands and placed them back on his body.

One landed on his chest, while the other rested on his cheek.

"See, what's there to be afraid of?"

Then, he took her other two hands and placed them on his waist, making her hug him.

From an outsider's perspective, it looks as if Herbert was being harassed by Lucille...

After completing this set of movements, Herbert smiled, tilted his head, and rubbed the hand resting on his cheek, chuckling softly, "Now do you understand?"

He looked at the fallen angel who stood frozen in place and said softly, "Luchir, I kept my promise to you and did not become His follower."

Herbert also reached out and gently placed his hands on the fallen angel's chest and cheeks, whispering, "So, rest assured, you don't need to be afraid of losing me."

"Luchir, I will not leave you."

!!!

Only then did the fallen angel snap out of his daze and stare blankly at the smiling boy in front of him.

For some reason, she felt an emotion she had never experienced before at that moment.

That feeling was... peace of mind.

She didn't know why she felt a sense of security from a boy who was much weaker than herself.

But she didn't dislike it.

Within a short period of time, her emotions fluctuated dramatically several times.

Rising, falling.

Just when Lucille thought things couldn't get any worse, he was suddenly told that it was all just his wild imagination and that nothing was actually wrong.

You have not been abandoned.

He did not leave you.

The stark contrast between losing and regaining something sent a jolt through Lucille, making him want to thank the gods for their mercy.

But before she could express her gratitude, she realized that Herbert was able to keep his promise to her precisely because he did not submit to the control of the gods.

He kept the promise through his own will, not through divine mercy.

As a fallen being who had betrayed God, she knew better than anyone how difficult it was to do this.

Moving.

Lucille's lips trembled, but instead of withdrawing her arm, she gently stroked Herbert's cheek.

She didn't dare to use her fingertips too hard, as if she were afraid of breaking him.

—Herbert, on the other hand, was not polite at all.

"Hehe." Herbert winked with amusement.

Oh yeah?

You just touched me, didn't you?

Since you've already touched me so rudely, then I won't be rude in return.

Then I won't pretend to be a gentleman anymore!

If you touch me, then I'll touch you. Isn't that fair?

Yes, yes, that's so fair.

He smiled and pinched Lu Xier's cheek, savoring the unique feel.

Lucille didn't mind Herbert's "flirting" with his cheek, letting him do as he pleased, and looked at him in confusion.

She just couldn't understand it.

In her eyes, Herbert was a walking contradiction.

Herbert possessed the blessings of the sun god, but he lacked even a trace of the sun god's will.

The blessings bestowed upon him far exceeded those of ordinary divine favored individuals, reaching the level of a saint, and he could be said to have received unparalleled favor.

However, there was no trace of divine will left behind!
It's as if the generous gods have no intention of interfering with mortals at all, and simply bestow blessings purely on them.

This is impossible.

Lucifer knew the Sun God's personality better than anyone else; that extremely controlling god would never allow such a thing to happen.

If Herbert prays to Him, while He grants him power, He will also inevitably interfere with his will invisibly.

"That can't be right, can it? This... no, maybe there really is another way."

Louise thought of a possibility that was almost non-existent and silently swallowed.

unless……

It was a gift from the sun god, but Herbert chose to refuse it.

He didn't want it, but He insisted on giving it to him; he couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.

"Hiss!" Lucille's thoughts wandered aimlessly. He gasped, feeling like he was probably going crazy.

But this raises another question: how exactly did Herbert refuse the sun god?

impossible.

He is now just a legend, but how could a mere legend refuse the gifts of the Lord of the Sun?
And damn it, he actually succeeded in refusing, not becoming His servant, but simply getting the power for free.

ah!!?
Even she only managed to barely escape thanks to the power of a Saint-level expert and an unexpected sneak attack.

How did Herbert manage to do that?
She doesn't understand.

I just don't understand!
The more Lu Xier thought about it, the more confused he became, and he couldn't even understand some of the situations he was facing.

No matter how much Lucille couldn't understand it, Herbert stood there so beautifully before her, and she couldn't refuse him.

Finally, Lucille gave up thinking and asked softly, "Herbert... how did you do that?"

"What?"

Herbert tilted his head and smiled, then said slowly, "If you mean how I refused the sun god's divine intervention on me, then I didn't refuse... He did indeed use me as a vessel for his divine intervention."

Yes, that female rogue really did force herself on me. (choking back tears)

"But if you mean why I didn't become His follower, but instead became His ally, then..."

"Wait, you said allies?!"

Lucille's eyes widened, and he interrupted Herbert somewhat rudely, repeating in utter shock, "You mean, you're now an ally of that being...?!"

Miss Fallen Angel felt her worldview was gradually collapsing.

Were the sun god and Herbert allies?
Are you kidding me?

But the facts before her eyes were constantly telling her that this was very likely true.

"Yes, is there a problem? Is it really that difficult?"

Disaster?
Lucy was speechless for a moment.

This isn't just a matter of difficulty; it's utterly impossible, a completely unthinkable event.

Is it because you find Him too unapproachable?

Herbert tilted his head, somewhat puzzled, and said with a smile, "I think He's actually quite easy to talk to. Are you all thinking too seriously about Him?"

"If you all think like that, then aren't you bullying Him?"

Lucy: ? ? ?

Nenasha: ? ? ?

"Hey, are you there? Do you want to hear what you're saying? Are you even speaking human language?"

Although neither the fallen angels nor the harmonious gods seemed to agree with his views, Herbert still chose to stick to his own opinion.

He genuinely felt that the Sun Goddess was quite... well, friendly.

Ms. Ebersta may have a slightly strange verbal tic, slightly shiny hair, and a slightly cold expression... but she's alright.

It's not that scary.

The Sun Goddess is such a kind person!

Where can I find such a super white silk thigh that I can get for free and is easy to fool?

You have such a powerful figure to rely on, and instead of clinging to him, you even isolate and bully him... Are you even human?

Lucille shook his head vigorously, somewhat doubting whether he was still dreaming and seeing only distorted illusions from a dream.

Unfortunately, Lucia is quite lucid now—though she would rather she were still dreaming.

"Herbert, are you... really not afraid of Him?"

Why should I be afraid of Him?

Herbert raised an eyebrow and smiled, looking at the fallen angel with a conflicted expression, when he suddenly had an interesting idea.

"Oh~ since you're still afraid of Him, do you want me to help you?"

"Ok?"

"Come on, don't be shy, let me help you get rid of Him."

Regardless of whether Lucille agreed or not, Herbert directly activated his holy power, causing the Sun Mark on his body to emerge and fully unleashing the aura of the Sun God.

"Just think of me as Him, don't be afraid, try to accept this power, there's really nothing to be afraid of!"

Before Lucille could think any further, he felt as if the person he was holding in his arms had turned into the sun god... He was completely disoriented.

If the person in front of me is the sun god, then holding him like this is truly blasphemous.

But if it's not the Sun God... this aura is too real, it really feels like the Sun God has descended.

Miss Fallen Angel felt like she couldn't move or stay still; her whole body was numb.

I've never felt so numb in my life.

Seeing Luchill's nervous and helpless expression, Herbert's mischievous radar started working again.

good chance!
While Lucille was concentrating, he suddenly moved his fingers, the hand that had been pressed against her chest without being withdrawn.

"Um!!?"

The fallen angel, caught off guard by the sneak attack, snapped back to his senses and stared in disbelief at the innocent-looking paladin.

?

What are you doing?
But faced with questioning looks, Herbert appeared quite serious and spoke first, saying in a deep voice, "Luchir, you're being too sensitive! This isn't good!"

Luhill: ?

Nenasha: ?

"What are you talking about?"

Herbert ignored Nenasha's teasing, forcibly keeping his expression straight, and said seriously, "You're being a little too sensitive, cough cough, or rather, you're taking Him too seriously."

“You need to understand that I am helping you adapt, and you must treat me as He from the bottom of your heart.”

He coughed twice and forced an explanation: "To achieve this, you must be able to ignore external distractions in order to truly get into the zone."

Yes, I was just causing a disturbance; I had absolutely no other ulterior motives.

Herbert convinced himself of this, feeling that he had put in a lot of effort, and so he moved his fingers again.

Luhill: ?

"Ah, wait... wait a minute, Herbert, what are you doing..."

"Concentrate! Don't get distracted!"

"You! Wait! Stop, stop for a second..."
