Diary of Guarding Monster Girls

Impossible.

Fulingya couldn’t possibly refuse me for those mortals; they wouldn’t dare to make enemies with me.

Just like in the past few hundred years, they would compromise, compromise, and compromise again, feigning resistance with a few words, but ultimately handing those people over to me.

Yes, just like before.

The god of the Stone Giant was firmly convinced.

But unfortunately, this time, they were clearly mistaken.

Fulingya, who had previously chosen to retreat repeatedly, decided not to endure any longer this time.

"Explain?"

Fulingya slightly lifted their eyelids, glancing at the ugly earth mound before them, resisting the urge to roll their eyes, and said faintly, "What explanation do you want? Is there anything I need to explain to you?"

"What did you say!!?"

The Stone Giant roared in anger upon hearing these hidden mocking words.

"You know it in your heart!"

Yet, as they roared in fury, a cold malice flashed across their heart.

Haha... caught the bait.

That fool Fulingya easily fell into the trap we prepared.

Be angry.

Yes, just be angry like this!

The angrier you are, the easier it is for our plan to succeed!

"Where did those people go!!?"

The Stone Giant contemplated, but on the surface, they didn’t show a hint, continuing with the raging roar in their heart: "Those filthy mortals! Where did they go!!?"

"And that damned fellow, bring them all to me!"

Though their heart was chaotic and driven by instinct, causing them to become reckless and violent, they weren’t entirely foolish.

After wantonly killing the last of the strong Beastmen who had fled a long distance, they finally realized the problem—they had fallen for a trick.

The group of strong Beastmen they had killed was merely bait, allowing that damned fellow and the old, weak, sick, and disabled to escape.

Cunning mortals.

They dared deceive the mighty Master of Sandstone!

But the God of Sand and Stone doesn’t truly believe they’ve been simply deceived by those mortals.

Being toyed with by mortals... impossible, absolutely impossible.

Even though upon returning to the Beastman camp, no trace could be found, as if that group had disappeared into thin air, leaving no clues.

But not having clues itself is a clue—there must have been Divine intervention.

Of the many Divine capable of such a feat, few have reason to act; it’s almost evident.

Indeed, it must be the Forest Goddess who intervened!

After enduring silently for so long, they finally couldn’t hold back.

"Who exactly?"

"Quickly hand them over, don’t force me to take action myself!"

The God of Sand and Stone sneered at the Forest Goddess, now seeing anger on their face.

In the end, they were disappointed.

Instead of anger upon hearing the threat, Fulingya offered a derisive cold smile that made the Stone Giant uncomfortable.

The God of Sand and Stone was puzzled why Fulingya could still smile at this moment.

Do you really think I don’t dare make a move?

"I won’t tell you anything."

While the Stone Giant hesitated in their heart, Fulingya slowly stood up, gave a disdainful glance at them across the way, and said faintly: "Unlike the cruel honorless Earth, the merciful forest never betrays a friend."

"Leave now; there are no answers for you here."

Saying this at last, Fulingya’s lips moved slightly, but they maintained some decorum and made no sound.

However... the opposite had understood.

That word was—"Fool."

!!?

"What did you say?"

If prior anger from the God of Sand and Stone was largely feigned, at this moment, their anger was genuine.

From the Forest Goddess, from this puppet they had always looked down on, they now saw mockery.

Even you dare mock me?

What right do you have to mock me?

"Insolence!"

The Stone Giant’s rage surpassed before, furiously clenching their fists.

"You’re nothing but a puppet being propped up; do you truly think you’re the Master of the Pantheon!!?"

"Looks like I need to show you what true respect and humility are!"

But just as they prepared to step over that small stream, the three chatting Four Seasons Goddesses across the way simultaneously lifted their eyes, casting a faint glance.

"Hmm?"

!!!

In an instant, the God of Sand and Stone calmed down.

They were no longer angry.

Though confident in themselves, believing they had the ability, qualifications, and strength to take over the position of the Natural Pantheon Master.

But there’s a premise—it has to be one-on-one!

Four versus one, to be fair, is indeed a bit, um, a little challenging.

Especially since the Four Seasons Goddesses hold a special place within the Natural Pantheon. Each of these Ancient Gods has power not exactly weak but also not exceptionally outstanding.

However, when they coordinate together, they can exert power far beyond their individual abilities.

Even though only three goddesses are present, their overall power far exceeds that of the God of Sand and Stone.

Damn it, can’t win!

But the idea of losing without dignity, the God of Sand and Stone believes it impossible to admit their mistake just so.

Though stuck in an awkward situation now, their mouth hasn’t softened a bit, and they coldly sneered: "...Heh! As expected, as a puppet, that’s all your ability."

Fulingya observed his hard-headed expression, unapologetically coldly sneering twice, and said lightly: "Haha, rest assured, I don’t intend to have my sisters take action."
