Diary of the Improper Monster Girl Transformation.

Chapter 531 Valentina: Let's unite!
Click, click, click...

Unlike the usual tranquility, strange, intermittent soft sounds emanated from the deep water prison.

It sounded like hard metal rubbing against each other, or like boulders colliding, producing a strange, hair-raising noise.

Despite the strange background noise, Freyme seemed not to hear anything and said earnestly, "There are too many people."

She clasped her raised hands together, rested her chin on them, and said in a deep voice, "There are just too many women around Herbert... no, female monsters."

Miss Mermaid carefully considered the composition of Herbert's group of people and was surprised to find that none of them were actually human.

Well, this might not be surprising.

That guy's hobbies are just so unique.

Of course, if it weren't for his unique personality, I wouldn't have been able to meet this hero.

"And if nothing unexpected happens, this number will continue to increase in the future."

Herbert had many partners, but Freyme never thought there was anything wrong with that.

Most heroes are passionate.

Even if they themselves are not particularly romantic, their excellent qualities, abilities, and appearance will attract other members of the opposite sex who admire them.

In every aspect, Herbert was not lacking.

In Freyme's eyes, she was almost a real-life embodiment of the legendary heroes, or even more so.

It would be rather pathetic if a "legendary hero" didn't even have this right to be loved by the masses.

But the problem now is not whether Herbert is sought after by many people, but that a person's energy is ultimately limited.

Essence and strength, spirit and power.

If you exhaust all your energy on other people, then you won't have any left for yourself.

This is unacceptable to Freyme!
You can go out and enroll in as many tutoring classes as you like, but at least you have to finish your homework when you get home!

This is the bottom line that we absolutely cannot back down from.

Although I haven't really experienced the feeling of being alone in my room yet, I'm starting to feel that way.

"Now, we need to pay attention! We need to find a way to solve this problem and prevent such a thing from actually happening."

Freyme's expression turned serious as she said in a deep voice, "So, as the original two, we must unite... hmm?"

Miss Mermaid frowned, feeling as if she had been giving a monologue for a long time without getting any feedback.
Dissatisfied, she turned her head to look at the glutton beside her who only knew how to eat and didn't give her any reaction.

"Valentina, are you listening?"

Click click click... Click!

?

"Well!?"

Upon hearing this, the source of the noise was startled and almost jumped up from the ground. He chewed the food in his mouth vigorously and then nodded quickly.

"Uh-huh!"

I listened, I listened, I really listened!

Valentina smiled earnestly at the kind person who had prepared a seafood feast for her.

Although she really hoped that her sincere expression would convince the other person that she was truly listening attentively.

But her constantly chewing mouth betrayed her true feelings.

(chew, chew, chew, chew)
Miss Mermaid was quite familiar with this unreliable guy; she could tell at a glance that he wasn't really listening to her.

"Ha, never mind, it's nothing."

It's estimated that he focused 90% of his energy on eating, only half of it on his own reactions, and the remaining half was probably lost in thought.

Although Freyme felt helpless, she was even a little envious.

Sometimes, being carefree like this is a kind of happiness.

Miss Mermaid waved her hand helplessly, signaling Miss Hungry Dragon to continue: "You can keep eating, just pay a little attention to what I'm saying."

At this moment, Valentina felt a little embarrassed. Reluctantly, she put down the food in her hand and, with great willpower, turned her head to look at Freyme seriously.

She suppressed the urge to turn away and nodded resolutely at the mermaid.

Tell me quickly, I can't guarantee how long I can hold on.

"Haha, you don't need to act like that, it's really okay."

Seeing Valentina's pained expression, Freme couldn't help but chuckle and shake her head, then picked up a fresh fish and placed it in her hand.

"It's nothing serious, just chatting. You can eat and listen at the same time."

goo.

Valentina initially made several polite refusals, pretending to decline, but in the end she couldn't resist the temptation. She swallowed hard, stuffed the fish into her mouth, and began to chew it with relish.

(chew, chew, chew, chew)
Seeing Valentina's carefree and happy appearance, Fremy suddenly felt that her worries seemed meaningless.

Can Herbert really just leave such a guy alone?
Even I can't help it; I think Valentina is quite adorable.

If it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to do it either, right?
If he can't let go of Valentina, then he has no reason to abandon me.

Moreover, he is not the kind of shallow person who forgets his old love once he has a new one.

Freyme felt that her previous worries were just needless, shook her head and smiled, and slowly began to tear the fish meat with her fingers.

These fish were specially prepared by her after her trip to Elda; they were all delicious delicacies.

Thus, the original "strategic seminar where I speak and you listen" naturally turned into a "casual chat and tea party where we each offer our opinions."

Of course, although it was a back-and-forth exchange, most of the time Fremey would complain and Valentina would nod in agreement.

"Don't think I'm overly worried. You haven't seen how hard everyone else is working! They've all started forming teams!"

"Ah."

“Those guys have a special advantage; they’ve lived together for years, know each other well, and are able to get together.”

"Uh-huh."

"You saw it too, right? Especially that vampire, she's just... well, I can only say, she's incredibly reckless."

"Uh-huh!"

While gossiping about others behind their backs is not a good thing, chatting quietly in private is forgivable.

And talking about gossip is genuinely fun.

The two best friends chatted so enthusiastically that they didn't even notice the newcomer at first.

Before they knew it, a figure appeared behind them, listening to the gossip with a curious expression for quite some time.

The more he listened, the more surprised he became, and he couldn't help but grin.

Before they knew it, their conversation had veered off course, and they were discussing what the most effective "destructive means" were.

Speaking of this, Valentina was no longer sleepy, and forgot about eating, she began to seriously communicate with Fremey.

Both sides presented their own versions of events, citing their personal experiences as examples.

hiss!
Everyone says men are better drivers.

But sometimes, when it comes to driving skills, they might not be as good as female drivers.

That's absolutely terrifying.

"You know, their enthusiasm proves that Herbert... likes that kind of thing too?"

"Mmm! (chewing)"

"Uh-huh!"

When the third voice suddenly rang out, the entire Deepwater Prison fell into a deathly silence in the next instant.

The two monster girls suddenly turned their heads and looked at the eavesdropper who had been listening to them for who knows how long.

"Herbert!?"

"Uh huh!!!"

"When did you get back? No! What did you hear?"

"Well--"

Freyme's skin above her neck began to redden visibly, and the thought of what Herbert had heard made her want to disappear into a crack in the ground.

Meanwhile, Valentina swallowed hard and grabbed Fremey before she could run away in a panic.

What are you running for?

Don't leave!
"Wait! What are you going to do?"

Before Freyme could even react to what Valentina was about to do, the hungry dragon had already dragged her into Herbert's arms.

"Hey hey hey——"

"Hey!"

?

Herbert instinctively wanted to run away when he saw the "large dog" charging towards him like a cannonball, but he gritted his teeth and stood still when he thought about the consequences of running away.

He immediately raised his hands, assumed a horse stance, lowered his center of gravity, and prepared to meet the charge.

And then... it didn't block it.

"Hey, wait a minute—cough!"

At the last moment, Valentina, perhaps still feeling she wasn't fast enough, suddenly leaped towards Herbert.

Sprint—Dive!
?

Holy crap!

Because one of the humanoid dragons exerted too much force, the three of them clung to each other and sprinted across the water for dozens of meters before finally coming to a stop.

As soon as the three of them stopped, the mermaid, who had been dragged behind and swayed like a kite, couldn't help but scream as she felt dizzy and disoriented.

"Valentina! What have you done... Ugh."

Herbert felt alright, since Valentina hadn't really used her full strength, and he could barely hold on, but he still couldn't help coughing.

"Cough, cough..."

Only Valentina was truly happy, hugging Herbert tightly around the waist, rubbing her cheek against it, while her large tail happily slapped the water's surface.

"Hehe~"

"you are back!"

Herbert and Freyme couldn't help but soften at her appearance, and they couldn't bring themselves to complain. They exchanged a silent glance and smiled helplessly.

"I'm really defeated by her."

"Haha, that's just her personality."

After Valentina's haphazard outburst, the previously awkward atmosphere completely disappeared.

Freyme, who had been so shy she wanted to run away, stopped talking about it and pretended nothing had happened. She came to Herbert's side and hugged him from another direction.

She chose a slightly higher position, wrapped her arms around Herbert's chest, and rested her chin on his shoulder.

"You're back."

Herbert felt Freyme's emotions gradually relax, so he leaned back against her chest and whispered, "Yes, I'm back."

After that, the two of them remained silent, quietly savoring the warmth of their reunion.

Valentina seemed to have eaten her fill and felt a sense of security, so she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

A moment later, Fremee asked in a low voice that wouldn't wake Valentina, "Did my power help you this time?"

"Yes, it came in very handy. I was able to directly defeat the incarnation of the god with the power you lent me!" Herbert described the scene to her, marveling at the perfect timing, location, and people at the time.

Freyme was completely dumbfounded after hearing this, never expecting that Herbert had accomplished such a major feat during his trip.

After a moment, she blinked, smiled, and shook her head gently: "However, my power is not enough to do this, Herbert, it's all thanks to you."

She was well aware of her own power, and that her ability to "slay a god" was entirely due to Herbert's own intelligence.

Fremei is not one to boast or take credit for others' work; she prefers to be a supportive partner behind the scenes, helping him achieve great things.

Herbert could achieve greater success with her help, which would make her happier than if Freyme had achieved it on her own.

Herbert was not surprised by this, as he had been prepared for it.

He turned his head and smiled knowingly, then asked, "Oh? So you don't need a reward?"

award?

"I was planning to come back and properly repay you for your help this time, but it seems you don't need to... um."

Herbert had only uttered half of his malicious words when Freyme quickly covered his mouth with her mouth to stop him.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

"A malicious fellow."

Miss Mermaid rolled her eyes resentfully and muttered, "Of course I still want the reward that's rightfully mine."

It's my business if I don't take credit, but if you don't reward me, that's another matter.

Let’s put one thing at a time!
"Okay, okay, I'm sure I won't shortchange you."

Herbert didn't do anything more mischievous. He smiled and nodded, then looked down at Miss Hungry Dragon, who was fast asleep on his waist.

"However, before that, we need to send her back first..."

Just as Herbert was about to send Valentina back, she, who had been "asleep," suddenly grabbed both of their hands with her eyes closed.

?

"Together!"

Valentina suddenly opened her eyes, stared at Freyme, and said in a deep voice, "I think you're right. In order to deal with the crisis, the two of us do need to... what was it again?"

"Oh right! Let's team up!"

After saying that, he ignored their reactions and held on tightly, refusing to let go.

Although it's not very important, there's something Valentina forgot to tell Herbert.

She just...

I've had a good sleep and a full meal!
……

……

"Those two are really not polite."

"Luckily, I'm in good health and can still hold on, otherwise I would have been completely drained!"

The next day, Herbert, who had been given special training by the two mentors and had generously given them money, dragged his tired body out of the discipline center.

Before rewarding Miss Fallen Angel, he needed to seek some comfort from Miss Ophidia.

He didn't know how long it would take to extricate himself from the others, so he figured it was best to get the reward he was entitled to first.

Although he hadn't explicitly agreed to a reward with Ophidia, he had handled the matter so perfectly that she couldn't possibly not show any appreciation, could she?

We need to strike while the iron is hot, otherwise, what if Ophidia waits too long and then denies it?
There's another, less important reason: Miss Dragon was far too ruthless, and he's currently in a period of reflection.

Only after taking the time to recover can you continue the battle.

But when Herbert arrived at the entrance to Ophidia's demiplane, he was very surprised to find that he... was actually stopped at the door.
Ok?
After finally managing to transmit your consciousness to show that you stopped the wrong person, you were met with a sullen and angry shout.

"That's exactly what I'm doing!"

Ophelia gritted her teeth and said coldly, "Get back here with you and the smell of fish on you!"
