Diary of Guarding Monster Girls

Miss Mirror Demon proudly declared her identity, speaking boldly: "Regarding your clan, no, even the tragedy of your Dark Elf race, I am the witness!"

"When your ancestors descended from that tree, I..."

"Wait, I don’t want to hear this." Svanni shook her head, ruthlessly interrupting Lukalia’s passionate speech.

?

Oh no!

Lukalia hurriedly said, "No, whatever you want to hear, I’ll tell you! The events of back then are interesting, truly, believe me..."

But halfway through her words, she was interrupted again.

"No, Lady Lukalia, it’s not that I don’t want to listen, what I mean is... can we change the time?"

Svanni smiled helplessly, her eyes slightly lowered, shaking her head with emotions hard to decipher, she softly said: "Sorry, please let me be alone for a moment."

"I need to think deeply now, to find the ’heart’ you mentioned."

Svanni’s mood was quite low, causing Lukalia to abandon her forced attempt to continue the conversation, and immediately switch her words: "Oh, I see!"

However, even though Miss Mirror Demon didn’t persist further, she suddenly spoke with a strange tone: "I have no problem with that, but... I think you probably can’t enjoy this peace alone right now."

Hmm?

The person in the mirror blinked playfully, teasing, "Don’t know why? Haha! That’s of course because someone doesn’t want you to... um!"

"Loose talk."

A tall figure appeared silently before Svanni, grabbing the jabbering and meddlesome Magic Mirror, casually tossing it aside, where it fell into a teleportation gate that appeared out of thin air.

"Hey, hey, hey—I contributed!"

Flying through the air, Lukalia kept shouting, "You can’t be so cruel! I want to witness this! I want to see it through—"

Click.

The gate closed, and the Mirror Demon’s cries vanished instantly.

Svanni, lost in thought due to the Mirror Demon’s words, snapped back to reality, only then noticing Herbert had appeared beside her at some point.

Looking at Herbert, she instinctively wanted to display her usual seductive facade, but for some reason, she couldn’t summon the mood.

"..."

After several failed attempts, she could only woodenly pull the corners of her mouth, quietly saying, "Herbert... you, you’re back."

If it were any other day, Svanni would probably unleash her Dark Elf talents to seduce Herbert fiercely, ensuring her Loyal Dog fulfilled its duties.

But now, Svanni couldn’t muster up that expression.

She didn’t know what went wrong.

Was it because of Lukalia’s words?

Or was it because of the ’heart’?

"Yes, I’m here."

Herbert didn’t tease, instead softly replied and quietly gazed into Svanni’s eyes.

And at this moment, Svanni neither dodged nor approached, simply stood fixedly and looked back up.

"..."

"..."

Neither spoke, in the silent treehouse only their breathing was faintly heard, along with a weak crunch—sounds of a hungry dragon feasting in the distance.

Valentina, unconcerned by others’ emotions, was completely immersed in the pure joy of alternating her upper and lower jaws.

She was truly happy.

In contrast, Svanni was truly tormented, her mind a chaotic mess, completely unsure of what to do now.

"Sigh..."

And amid the unbearable silence, Herbert finally sighed first, murmuring in slight frustration: "This really is, leaving people at a loss for words."

"Quite speechless."

What?

Herbert’s angry?

Svanni’s heart trembled slightly, hurriedly trying to explain.

"I..."

"Ah, don’t misunderstand."

But before explanations could escape, Herbert waved to interrupt: "I’m not talking about you, I’m speaking of them, pushing me into an awkward position."

"Eh?"

Them?

Svanni vaguely guessed one was Lukalia, but hadn’t expected there were others besides her?

"No need to guess, it’s Fremay."

Herbert smirked and rather helplessly sighed: "She noticed your issue too, and specifically reminded me to pay more attention to you."

"During your joint battle this time, Fremay discovered your hidden emotions."

"Noticed that although you appear relaxed and carefree, inside you’re anxious, constantly vigilant, and harbor suspicious thoughts towards everyone—don’t worry, I think it’s no big deal."

"She isn’t blaming you, merely hoping I can help you out of your current confusion, then become good friends with her."

He looked at the Dark Elf whose eyes flashed with bewilderment and confusion, and chuckled: "Feel odd? Unaccustomed to being cared for by others like this?"

Svanni pursed her lips, nodded awkwardly.

She truly wasn’t used to this feeling.

Eliza, a fellow inmate on the same floor, although having a good relationship, didn’t pay much attention to her inner thoughts.

Miss Vampire was very enthusiastic, but politely refrained from delving into deeper secrets.

Valentina even more so.

Although Miss Giant Dragon’s fervent personality was like a brilliant little sun, she never forced others to become like her, respecting others’ personalities and emotions.

As a result, the supposedly gentlest Miss Mermaid, her actions turned out to be the most forceful.

Because in Fremay’s view—if Svanni continued to disguise like this, that would be the most cruel thing for her.
