Diary of Guarding Monster Girls-Chapter 448 - 288 Let me perform a show for you (4.2K)

"Hmm? What did you say?"

Eliza snapped back to reality upon hearing the words, blinking blankly.

Herbert thought she was moved, her heart filled with a jumble of emotions.

In reality, that was true, but the things piled up in her mind weren’t proper.

As a Xiao Chunu with an exceptionally vivid imagination, Eliza had her mind filled with dirty thoughts.

Outwardly, she appeared dazed, while inside she fantasized about how to "torment" Herbert, while also chaotically imagining how she was "roughly handled."

"...Vent?"

Eliza thought for a moment, and the blush on her face deepened, almost blending with the color of her lips.

He wants me to vent?

Vent?

This...

Ahhh!

Is it progressing this fast?

"Hmm?"

Herbert watched as Eliza’s face turned redder and her gaze grew vaguer, then suddenly realized something.

This person...what’s in their head? With thoughts so easily scattered?

Why does she seem even more indecent than Fremay?

Herbert silently let go of her, pointed at her, then at the present Slave Merchant, and made a gesture across his neck.

"Hmm?"

You, go finish them off.

Understood?

"...Ah?"

Eliza, somewhat coming to her senses, scratched her head and, seeing Herbert’s subtle expression, instinctively shrank back a bit.

But as she shrank, she remembered her "identity," and stubbornly stayed where she was.

Wait, when we’re outside, I’m the owner of this caravan!

Eliza twitched the corners of her mouth, wanting to say something domineering, but lost her courage the moment she looked at Herbert.

Now, when she looked at this young man, she felt an instinctive intimidation, even though she was much stronger than him, yet she always felt inferior, unable to hold her head up in front of him...

What’s going on?

Could it be that I really believed his "nonsense"? Really took him as my "master"?

This...no way!

This is absolutely not right!

How could I possibly want a master!!?

Something must be wrong somewhere!

Eliza quickly thought it over in her mind, then coughed twice, pretending to be natural.

"Cough cough, um... you’re saying, let me handle them all?"

She deliberately avoided mentioning what happened before, wanting to skip over the topic.

"Hmm."

Herbert wasn’t in a hurry to push her now, anyway, the strategy progress had greatly improved, it was enough for now.

The next progress wasn’t urgent, part of the effect still hadn’t fully played out, and he still needed to wait for Eliza’s feelings to slowly ferment.

Don’t worry, she would definitely conquer herself.

Herbert was not worried about this at all, so he nodded lightly, speaking softly: "They’ve lost their value, just deal with them."

Tired, just destroy everything.

"Oh, alright."

Eliza immediately agreed, then prepared to get up, now wanting to find a chance to be a little farther from Herbert.

There was an inexplicable sense of crisis in her heart—if she continued to stay by his side, she really worried she might unconsciously gradually become his "slave."

This young man had an indescribable "magnetic allure."

Full of extremely dangerous fatal temptation!

Eliza didn’t want to lose control, didn’t want to become a madwoman losing herself.

So... is sinking beneath someone else’s feet also a form of losing oneself in madness?

Eliza didn’t know the answer to this question yet.

But she knew she was not completely ready for it at the moment.

"Huh?"

Just as she was about to stand up, Eliza suddenly remembered something and asked strangely: "Wait, didn’t you say not to reveal your identity before? Wouldn’t doing this now actively expose it?"

Not afraid anymore?

Herbert lightly shook his head and smiled: "No, that’s not the exposure I meant..." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The identity needing to be hidden was "Assassin," not the evil-punishing "Defender."

But the matter about assassinating Stella was still inconvenient to explain to Eliza, so Herbert chose another explanation.

"The reason I decided to do so is for one purpose only—to give others a warning."

"Justice has arrived."

"I am declaring our arrival to all evil forces around us, announcing the advent of retribution."

Herbert’s smile was bright and gentle, yet the words he spoke were anything but warm, filled with a sense of deadly earnest.

"Fear, tremble, lament... and then, await the arrival of death."

"Justice will eventually judge every sinner."

After saying that, Herbert’s smile faded, and he winked at Eliza: "That’s basically the reason, is there anything you still don’t understand?"

"...Oh!"

Eliza nodded, roughly understanding Herbert’s intention, yet still found it somewhat odd.

"Wait, that’s not right, isn’t your team’s purpose of experience collecting materials? Can you really judge those people?"

This is the Dark Territory; even the Justice Faction’s allied army can’t easily break through.

"Eliza, you’re wrong again, we know our mission’s purpose, but others don’t."

"Eh?"

Herbert smiled slightly, and as they conversed, a new plan became increasingly clear in his mind.

"They don’t know our true purpose; they will just become fearful, pull their men back, and hide cautiously, afraid of revealing the slightest flaw."

"They don’t even know our numbers, our strength, they know nothing about us."

"So, the bigger the commotion, the better, the more arrogant, the more effective."
