Diary of Guarding Monster Girls

["Ha, what are you trying to hide? To put it simply, you’re just soft-hearted! You can’t be ruthless to women!"]

["You promiscuous Paladin, who will eventually be hurt by women’s beauty!!!"]

Herbert ignored Nenasha’s slander, gazing distantly at the sky, and said softly, "Besides, after all, He is still good to me, and I don’t dislike such an innocent fellow."

He was quite pleased with his recent meeting with the Forest Goddess, feeling the goodwill she conveyed and indeed gaining quite some benefits.

The abilities of the Heart of Nature would greatly aid in his future territorial development, even increasing the attraction to Monster Girls to some extent.

Fulingya has been genuinely kind to me, and without asking for anything in return.

A rich and generous older sister that’s truly wealthy and magnanimous.

Someone as good as Him should definitely receive good returns, right?

If destiny does not grant Him good returns, then I will.

That’s right, your good fortune is brought to you by me, Herbert!

["How do you plan to help Him? You should at least help Him out of the current awkward situation, right?"]

"Yes, indeed I need to help Him and with all my might, to do my very best in this on-the-surface first action."

Herbert always had great confidence in himself, believing that if he were to do something, he’d do it to the fullest.

Though he had already helped Fulingya resolve the Beast Ear Clan situation, that was not something that could be openly discussed. Both Fulingya and the Earth Pantheon kept silent by mutual understanding.

It’s fine if that accomplishment can’t be revealed, just produce a greater feat that everyone can be convinced by.

"Fulingya now needs a chance to prove herself, preferably something that draws the entire Natural Pantheon’s attention, finally having me, her supporter, resolve it."

"It’d be best if someone could stir up something big to draw more outsiders’ attention, so that everyone’s focus is directed to one point at the same time."

Herbert contemplated but couldn’t think of any significant actions recently.

"Really, I’m kind of missing the God of Sinful Desire at this moment."

That one is a mischief expert, often capable of those "everyone look at me, I have an announcement!" kind of tricks.

The terrifying Evil God to many people, to Herbert, has almost become synonymous with peaceful amusement after frequent contact.

Always getting frustrated, but never yielding.

Frustrated yet continuing, eating frustrations, still continuing, thoroughly enjoying it, health bar full.

What a little glutton indeed.

However, the God of Sinful Desire was recently disciplined by the Sun Goddess and now might be quiet for a while.

If He, the professional troublemaker, disappears, then in the short term, there might not be other particularly restless guys surfacing.

"Moreover, even if something big happens now, I can’t act yet, I have to wait a bit more."

Shaking his head awkwardly after some thought.

Feeling like a middle-aged man who’s passed his prime, becoming eager yet powerless.

He can watch, touch, speak, but can’t perform any substantive actions, other than splattering someone with saliva, he can’t do much else.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to, but temporarily lacks the ability.

Herbert is now in a critical stage of transformation; if he can avoid acting, it’s better to do so, for any impact on his transformation would definitely be a loss for him.

His transformation is mostly complete, missing that small, yet crucial opportunity.

Having reached this point, naturally, Herbert wants to proceed without regrets, striving for perfection as much as possible.

"However, I vaguely feel that opportunity won’t take too long to arrive."

Since the first falling God appeared in the City of Radiance, the world, peaceful for thousands of years, has reached a turning point.

The death of the Divine Spirit has set the stage for impending chaos.

The Gods will not just wait indefinitely, and those capable individuals will gradually reveal themselves; this world has never lacked the ambitious.

Those people, when seeing no hope, won’t easily reveal themselves, but since they’ve seen the hope for advancement, they definitely can’t suppress their inner restlessness.

They will fan the flames across different aspects of the world, stirring the situation to create more opportunities for themselves.

This world is bound to continue into chaos eventually, there’s no doubt about it.

Chaos is the ladder to ascension.

This world has been calm for too long, and some beings dissatisfied with the status quo have long wanted a reshuffle among the Gods.

"The Divine War is destined to arrive in the not-too-distant future, and by then, I can rely neither on allies nor on the charity of enemies, but only on myself."

"Relying on others is less effective than relying on oneself."

"Power is the foundation of all. Without power, it’s hard to move an inch, merely becoming a pawn manipulated by others."

"But if you have strength... perhaps you can snatch a share from that chaotic scene."

Herbert has never hidden the fact that he is an ambitious person.

If there’s a chance to gain more, why not seize it?

In this uncertain and dangerous world, personal power is the only certainty.

["It’s good to have such thoughts, but that’s bound to be very dangerous~"]

Nenasha casually reminded, but didn’t advise Herbert to be careful, instead just smiled: ["Of course, I’ll always be by your side."]
