Diary of Guarding Monster Girls

And after hearing this answer, Herbert finally displayed a satisfied smile.

"Very good."

He was very satisfied with the girl’s "greed."

Herbert could help Teresa, providing her with various resources, even stimulating the power in her bloodline to rapidly transform her into a Legendary Peak powerhouse.

But that was merely an illusory castle in the sky, with no foundation—an unstable tower floating above.

He couldn’t give her the heart of a true strong person.

A genuine heart of strength can only be understood on one’s own.

Though Teresa’s current thoughts couldn’t be called the mindset of a strong person, this touch of greed she possessed was the first and most crucial step.

With this greed, she could continuously grow, eventually filling the void in her heart.

"..."

Teresa stared resolutely at Herbert, but after a moment, she snapped out of it in panic.

Eh!!?

What did I just say?

It seems I said something quite incredible!

Feeling immensely embarrassed by her bold statement, she instinctively wanted to habitually cover it up.

But when the words were at the tip of her tongue, she paused, took a deep breath, and bit her tongue hard, forcibly suppressing the urge to retreat, making herself face Herbert’s eyes.

It took me so much courage to muster, how can I back down now?

Hold on!

"Master Herbert!"

She forced herself not to think of those embarrassing thoughts, mustering the courage to ask: "How, how can I attain strength?"

"The method?"

Herbert suddenly raised an eyebrow playfully, smiled, and murmured subtly: "Didn’t I mention it before? I will give it to you bit by bit."

!!!

Something’s wrong.

Wait a minute!

It seems, it seems something’s not quite right?

This feeling...

Feeling the peculiar atmosphere, the courage Teresa gathered suddenly wavered, and she began wanting to retreat again.

"Uh, I, you, ah..."

Teresa hesitated, a mix of anticipation and anxiety, lightly biting her lip and asked boldly: "Then how will you give it to me?"

She was indeed a girl, but she wasn’t an entirely naive child.

In this world, at her age, she could already be married and have children!

Seeing Herbert’s deep gaze, Teresa couldn’t help but start thinking astray...

Ah!

If, if he plans to teach me using some special method, then I... No, no, no, Master Herbert wouldn’t do such a thing!

But if he does act impulsively, then what?

How can I ask him not to stop, but to continue?

I...

Herbert watched the girl’s gaze flicker and her cheeks redden, chuckling internally, knowing what unsuitable images she might be conjuring.

"Haha, it seems you’re expecting something?"

!!?

He saw through me?

Teresa’s instability became complete, her gaze darting around.

"Uh! I, I..."

She wanted to retreat but was stopped by Herbert’s gaze, standing obediently where she was.

"Are you ready?"

Ready for what?

What should I be ready for?

What am I supposed to prepare for!!?

I——

"I, I’m ready!"

In her chaos, Teresa lightly bit her teeth and resignedly closed her eyes, her lips slightly pursed.

She didn’t know why she was doing this.

But the girl’s intuition told her, this must be the right move!

"..."

And Herbert, seeing the girl in this cute, almost offering posture, couldn’t help but laugh, shaking his head.

What an adorable sight.

Since she already posed so well, he had no reason not to cooperate.

Thus, Herbert took action.

His fingers twitched slightly, lightly moving from the girl’s blush-tinged cheeks, past her moist red lips, then touched her nose tip.

Finally, in her trembling and anticipation...rested on her brow.

"Eh?"

Feeling the touch on her brow, Teresa’s tightly shut eyes snapped open, filled with question marks.

Why the brow?

"Of course, this is how I’ll give it to you."

With a light chuckle, Herbert tapped with his finger, infusing a torrent of complex information into the girl’s soul.

"Ah——"

The mental flood surged into her soul, causing the girl, who had never experienced this before, to become dazed, letting out a strange throat sound.

Her eyes rolled back, her mouth uttering muffled noises, she fell stiffly backward in a swoon.

Luckily, Herbert was prepared, raising his hand to embrace Teresa’s waist, preventing her from falling miserably.

"..."

And Yunier, witnessing the entire process from the side, slightly opened his mouth, watching in shocked confusion as Herbert embraced Teresa.

What did I just witness?

Yunier saw firsthand how Herbert seamlessly triggered the desires within Teresa’s heart, guiding her to voice her deepest wish.

The confused are those involved while the onlookers see clearly.

Yunier beside her saw it all.

Those responses seemed to be Teresa’s own thoughts, but every step was completed under Herbert’s invisible guidance.

The Divine Favorer witnessed firsthand how Herbert toyed with human hearts like toys.

That demeanor...indeed, like a Divine being.

He truly is transforming into a mythical creature.

But just as Yunier thought Herbert was filled with divinity, he suddenly changed his attitude, revealing vibrant humanity.
