Diary of Guarding Monster Girls

In the biting cold wind, two young and beautiful girls, wearing exceedingly thin blue and white robes, walked through the slums under the protection of the Divine Hall guards.

The two young apprentice priests walked barefoot in the snow, like legendary Ice and Snow Elves descending into the mortal world, attracting everyone's gaze.

Their attire, starkly contrasting with the winter, made one feel cold just by looking, but their faces showed no discomfort.

Both wore peaceful smiles, calmly looking at each of the poor who prayed to them, distributing the prepared food to them.

Though the Ice and Snow Goddess is not evil, She cannot be considered a benevolent Divine Spirit either.

Belonging to the [Nature] alignment and as a subordinate divine to the [God of Cold Winter], Her allegiance leans more towards neutrality between the two.

She spreads severe cold in winter to deprive life, but also allows nature time to recuperate.

The reason Her church personnel are so kind to these impoverished people is actually not that complicated.

In the eyes of the Divine Spirit Church, these are the followers of the future.

They are resources to be absorbed!

Today is an era of belief in the gods, where spirits strive to develop their churches, absorb followers, and gain more power of faith, thereby enhancing their strength.

Human followers are one of the most sought-after resources in this world.

Compared to many races, they can reproduce well while maintaining a good level of intelligence.

Although their faith is often not pure, mixed with too much personal desire, the large quantity and decent quality are advantages.

Different statuses bring different perspectives.

For the rulers of the Kingdom, compared to most common people, they need the support of the nobility to maintain their rule.

But for Divine Spirits, the lineage of mortals makes little difference.

A noble may donate some wealth to the church, but the faith they provide might not surpass that of a beggar.

Moreover, nobles are few; the vast majority of this world consists of common people.

The main followers of the Ice and Snow Goddess are not humans; Her sources of faith primarily come from intelligent creature believers living in snow and ice regions.

However, no one would ever think too much money is too much—if someone does, they must be pretending and should be sternly condemned!

She eyes the Frost Crystal Kingdom's faith pie with envy.

Founded by the descendants of dragon slayers, Frost Crystal Kingdom is a realm where royal power surpasses divine power. Although residents are not forbidden to believe in Divine Spirits, no Divine Spirit Church is officially recognized so far.

This is a piece of virgin pasture.

Although the Frost Crystal Kingdom's population isn't large and it is a small nation with limited territory, the great spirits find it beneath them to compete for attention here.

However, if She could monopolize this faith, the Ice and Snow Goddess's power could have significant growth.

The Ice and Snow Goddess Church has long wanted to extend a hand into the Frost Crystal Kingdom but struggled without finding opportunities, and progress has been consistently slow.

Although not recognized as an unapproved Evil God Church, there are truly few believers in the entire kingdom.

Despite decades of proselytizing, faith has only spread to some small towns and villages around the Royal City.

In the Royal City, it hadn't even spread beyond the slums.

The Ice and Snow Goddess Church is actually quite satisfied with this progress.

Initially, most of the members of the Goddess Church were non-human intelligent creatures, and their acceptance among humans was not high. The first twenty years of progress was genuinely touching.

It wasn't until the recent twenty years that they changed strategy, adopting some human orphans and raising them, using these new priests to successfully develop some human believers.

After tasting success, the Goddess Church continued to adopt more orphans so that once grown, they could spread the gospel of the Goddess to more relatives and friends.

It's estimated that in another century, the entire Frost Crystal Kingdom could become the fertile ground for the Goddess's faith!

Only, they themselves feel this pace isn't bad, but to Herbert, this speed and efficiency is simply...

"Wasteful!"

Herbert looked at the two young girl priests, unable to help but slightly shake his head, a flood of thoughts flashing through his mind.

Such as salary thieves...

These guys are still too rigid in their thinking, pure wastes of space, only knowing traditional methods like distributing food, not knowing how to utilize their own advantages.

To spread faith, there are countless ways, aren't there!

No need to mention anything else; just look at the situation at hand.

With such pretty girls, you only have them dressed thinly and walk barefoot in the snow?

Do you intend to display miracles through this?

Not feeling cold indeed can be a miracle, but isn't that a bit too perfunctory!

Is this how you test officials?

Which official couldn't pass such a test!!?

If they truly aren't afraid of the cold, why do you still need such long skirts?

Damn, reveal the legs!

Reveal the arms!

Reveal the clea... cough!

Hmm.

What I meant to say... no one dislikes seeing a figure full of healthy vitality.

Yes, just like that.

Herbert thought about these, unable to resist shaking his head at them.

Sigh.

What a waste, an immense waste.

This is simply a crime!

And his unusual gesture also caught the attention of the two girl priests, with one of them taking the initiative to come over, asking with a light smile:

"Young Paladin, is there anything you need assistance with from the Goddess Church? We... Ah!"

From a distance, she hadn't seen clearly, thinking Herbert's hair was just slightly lighter in color, but upon coming closer, she finally saw his hair color clearly.

Extremely pure white.

In this nation, such hair color has only one implication: Silver Wing blood.

This was a youth from the Albert Family.

Yet, this alone wasn't enough to make her exclaim.

What truly made her lose composure was this person's identity before her.

White hair, grey-eyed Silver Wing blood, boyish appearance, and a paladin identity.

There were very few who matched all three criteria; recently, there was only one famous figure.

"Crimson Wings!!?"

Seeing the girl's terrified expression, Herbert initially smiled, prepared to nod gracefully when she finished speaking.

At this moment, he felt as though no one in the world would be unaware of him, and then...

"I am... hmm?!"

But upon hearing the exclaimed title from her mouth, he forcibly stopped his nod mid-motion, his neck making a crisp sound.

Crack.

The elegant smile on his face froze, as his eyes blinked continuously, uncertainly looking at the girl priest opposite.

Herbert: ?

Crimson Wings?

Who is that?

Damn, who stole my title!!?

Who is it!!?
