Diary of the Improper Monster Girl Transformation.

Chapter 491 Choosing You Firmly

"You really are... you've gone too far."

After a while of this stalemate of "you pinch me and I dodge," the Fallen Angel finally lost her temper and pushed Herbert away in embarrassment and anger.

Herbert, who was pushed away, chuckled and spread his hands, his eyes full of innocence and his face full of purity: "It's your heart that can't be calmed down, so don't blame me."

"Humph."

Of course, Lucille didn't believe his nonsense. He curled his lip and snorted.

To Herbert's surprise, this was all the retaliation from Lushier, with no further punishment.

Wow, so gentle?

Herbert thought for a moment. If the target had been any other monster girl, he would have been in for a good beating.

Lushier, you are so kind!

Seeing that Miss Fallen Angel didn't seem too angry, Herbert didn't continue his malicious pranks.

Too much of a good thing can be bad. Although I really want to deepen the relationship between the two of us, the other person is already so understanding. If I keep teasing them, it might really get a little out of hand.

It's time to stop while you're ahead.

He shook his head, abandoning any further thoughts of pulling off some crazy maneuvers.

However, Herbert did not apologize. Instead, he slowly walked back to Lucia and naturally opened his arms to her.

He didn't say it explicitly, but his meaning was quite clear—come on, I apologize to you, and as a reward you can hug me.

"Ok?"

The angel was puzzled.

The mortal nodded vigorously and took another step forward.

"Ok!"

Come on! Don't hesitate!

Hold me tight!

"……Ugh."

Although Lu Xier really wanted to complain about Herbert's bizarre move—wait, was this a reward for me? Or a reward for you?

However, after hesitating for a moment, she stretched out her arms and hugged him, letting out a soft sigh of helplessness:
"You...you really have a bad heart. You just take advantage of my tolerance towards you to bully me."

The reason why Lucia showed such favoritism towards Herbert was because she suddenly remembered something Herbert had said to her before.

"Hug me."

"Or, I'll hug you."

She knew that if she hesitated at this moment and did not choose to hug him, Herbert would definitely take another step forward and hold her tightly in his arms.

That silent embrace left an incredibly deep impression on Lucille.

Even Herbert didn't understand what that unprecedentedly warm hug meant to Louisier.

For a "traitor" who has abandoned everything and has nothing left, it represents new hope.

She has found a new direction to move forward.

Moreover, Herbert also said:
"Instead of focusing on the future that has not yet happened, let's look at the reality that is right in front of us."

"I am right in front of you."

He opened his eyes, no longer looking at the uncertain future, but at the person in front of him.

As the angel abandoned the sun, the sun also abandoned her.

From the day she fell into depravity, she has been a rootless wanderer in the world.

She had no place to call home, no place she could even call home, and not even a single friend she could talk to.

She ruined everything with her own hands.

In the end, Lu Xier understood and silently accepted it.

She will walk this road to despair alone; no one will accompany her.

Even if she were alone, she would resolutely walk the path of defying the gods.

Only in this way can He be brought back to His senses...

Lucille knew that his strength alone was too weak to shake the foundation of the Church of the Sun.

She needs to quietly accumulate strength.

She needed a complete transformation to break free from the shackles of the past—and she embarked on a perilous journey of repeated "rebirths."

Thus, by a twist of fate, Luchill arrived at the Misty Monastery and became a special prisoner in the Discipline Hall.

Then came the long wait, all by himself.

After a long period of solitude, someone appeared out of nowhere, disrupting all her plans.

Herbert chose her.

Unlike everyone else who deliberately distanced themselves from her, this boy not only approached her but also showed surprising kindness.

He didn't ask about her past or the reasons at first; he simply stood firmly by her side after they became friends, choosing to accept her as she truly was.

Although Lucia didn't show it much, she was actually very touched and happy inside.

She even felt a sense of redemption from Herbert.

It turns out I haven't lost all hope.

It turns out there are still people willing to accept me.

She had no doubt about Herbert's sincerity when he said those words, and believed that he was subjectively willing to walk with her to the very end.

But she didn't really have high hopes for the future to develop in the direction they expected.

They even held pessimistic and negative views.

Even if he was sincere at that time.

Who can truly know what the future holds?
The archangel who once served the sun god knew better than anyone just how powerful the sun god was and how fragile mortals were in His presence.

As Herbert grows up, he is destined to come into the sight of the gods.

Lucille never doubted whether Herbert could attract the attention of the sun god.

A guy like him is destined to never fade away; his dazzling brilliance would even attract the gods, who would fight tooth and nail for him.

Even if Herbert eventually changes his mind and chooses to abandon her and face the scorching sun, or even if the two of them really end up fighting each other in the future... Lucille will not hate him.

She would only feel helpless and sad, but she would never hate him for abandoning her.

Because at that time, he simply made the right and reasonable choice, doing what everyone would have done.

However, to Lucifer's surprise... Herbert had already entered the vision of the gods so quickly, and was even directly observed by the sun god.

To everyone's surprise, Herbert actually kept his naive promise.

And Herbert did just that, as he promised.

Between the sun god and the fallen angel, he rejected the former's offer and chose to embrace the latter.

Once again, he chose himself.

Even if it means defying the gods, I will steadfastly choose you.

How could Lucille not be moved?

How could the fallen angel not be moved?

Faced with such trust, even if Herbert did something slightly excessive, she wouldn't have negative feelings towards him. This is why Lucille dotes on Herbert so much.

Because before Lucille embraced Herbert, she had already enjoyed his favoritism.

And her hugging Herbert was her way of responding to him.

After she was born, Lucia was determined to rebel against the sun god. She did not understand love and did not know whether her feelings could be called love.

However, Lucy knew she didn't want to be that shameless person who just took advantage of others' kindness.

She didn't want the other person to always be the one to take the initiative, and she didn't want to be the one who just stood there, waiting for the other person to come to her.

So she took it back too.

She hugged Herbert tightly, letting his cheeks sink into her firm embrace.

"Ugh—Ugh! Ugh!"

Meanwhile, Lu Xier learned his lesson this time.

First, she wrapped both arms around Herbert's upper body to prevent him from moving around, and then used her other two arms to control Herbert's hands, making them wrap around her waist to prevent them from touching anything.

She knew she craved this sense of security.

And in this world, he is probably the only one who can give me this sense of security.

and……

Since Herbert was able to resist the erosion of the sun god's will and keep his secret, he certainly deserves a reward.

So Lucilfer hugged them tighter, wrapping her wings around them and enveloping them completely.

The two remained in what appeared to outsiders to be a rather ambiguous posture as they floated within the Aurora Sanctuary.

Gradually, Herbert stopped trying to speak. He closed his eyes, and his tense body began to relax, sinking into Lucille's tall but exceptionally soft body.

He felt as if he were lying on a small boat, drifting around with the current.

It's like soaking in a warm spring, letting the water wash away your fatigue and mental exhaustion.

After a long while, Herbert's eyelids twitched slightly, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Then, he felt a gentle touch on his forehead.

"Um……"

That warm, smooth touch clearly indicated that it wasn't the fallen angel's fifth hand.

Herbert opened his eyes, slowly raised his head, and saw a gentle-looking angel.

"Herbert, you're awake. Did you get some rest?"

She was like a gentle older sister next door looking after a napping child, radiating an intellectual glow.

Looking at the confusion in Herbert's eyes, Lucille shook his head and said gently, "Your body is fine, but your spirit is more exhausted than I imagined. Even now, you've only recovered about 50%."

“I don’t know how much pressure you’re under outside, but here… in my arms, you can rest peacefully.”

She puffed out her chest, flicked Herbert's chin which he was resting on, and asked, "Um, do you want to close your eyes and sleep a little longer?"

Dong~dong~dong~
At this moment... in Herbert's vision, which rose and fell with the waves, there was no such thing as the prefix "corruption" in Lucille's mind.

She seemed to be draped in a rosy glow, radiating boundless and dazzling merit.

She possesses such gentleness and compassion; she is a true angel.

It's an angel!

However, while this gentleness was nice, Herbert didn't intend to enjoy it forever.

He pulled his head out, reluctantly licked his lips, and said with feigned determination, "...No, thank you, I feel I've rested enough."

The new wave of facial cleansers may be appealing, but they must be rejected.

Because if he continues to indulge in this gentle embrace, the initiative he has painstakingly built up will easily be eroded, and he will revert to his previous state, or even become passive again.

Whether in romantic relationships or business dealings, if you have something that others can use against you, then you must be careful not to let them use it against you.

Herbert and Luchil were significantly weaker, putting Herbert at a natural disadvantage from the start.

He has secretly devoted a great deal of energy and effort to getting to where he is today.

Herbert had walked this path with utmost care and caution, so how could he be easily swayed by beauty?
Mere beauty? Watch me conquer her with ease!
As it turned out, Herbert miscalculated one thing.

Resisting the temptation of beauty is only the first step; there are many more steps to come.

The second step is to defeat the opponent.

"Oh?"

Luchill narrowed his eyes, then nodded thoughtfully, muttering a sigh as he reached out and pressed her hand against the back of Herbert's head.

"No, I think you should continue to rest."

I don't want you to feel, I want me to feel.

?

Herbert never expected that this gentle older sister was actually a domineering CEO.

Oh no.

Judging from the personality of the Sun Goddess, the favored archangel should also be like this; this is the true nature of Lucir in the eyes of outsiders.

"Huh? Wait, I think that's enough... Hmm!? Hmm—"

As we all know, Herbert, who is in a critical period of advancement, cannot use his strength, and even if he could, his small arms and legs probably wouldn't be able to move a large cart.

That's all nonsense.

Herbert was now at their mercy, barely managing to hold back his humiliating words... tears streamed down his face as he buried it even deeper.

Damn it, this is so humiliating!
Since that's the case, then I have no choice but to resist properly and demonstrate my indomitable spirit!

So Herbert was forced to stay in the valley and experience the torture of suffocation, and then he had no choice but to fall asleep again.

Finally, after taking two naps, Herbert was released by the angel.

Even after he had escaped her embrace, Herbert still felt that squeezing sensation on all sides of his cheeks...

Herbert felt the pressure of the hallucination and couldn't help but think—would it be more comfortable if we were in another place?
"Cough cough!"

Herbert shook his head vigorously, trying to shake those romantic thoughts out of his mind and force himself to calm down.

At this moment, Lu Xier seemed to realize how impulsive her actions had been. She lowered her eyes and stood quietly to the side, like a timid wife who had made a mistake.

“Luchir, didn’t I tell you? I will help you get rid of His influence on you.”

Herbert, having regained his composure, smiled and reminded the fallen angel, "Did you notice? When you pushed me away just now, you weren't even considering my 'status' anymore."

Even as the two embraced, Herbert did not conceal his "sun-like aura".

"If you hug like this a few more times, you will definitely be able to desensitize and won't be so easily startled anymore!"

But then, Lucille shook his head and said softly:

"No need."

"Ok?"

The fallen angel looked up, smiled gently at the bewildered paladin, and said softly, "I understand now. I no longer need to be afraid of Him."

"Because...you are here."

"You will always be by my side."
