Diary of Guarding Monster Girls

["Hmm? What's wrong?"]Nenasha's voice was cold, with a hint of disdain even in its aloofness.

Hmm, not just a hint.

The disdain and dissatisfaction were quite evident.

Miss Xie Shen didn't even try to hide it; she was openly expressing her discontent.

But Herbert didn't care about her tone and continued to ask, "Why didn't you warn me earlier?"

He rubbed his still aching rear, complaining, "I was about to be attacked by a Legendary Demon, couldn't you have warned me proactively?"

Herbert was being unreasonable - this was something he was quite aware of.

But hey, that's the feeling he was going for!

If it weren't intentional, Herbert wouldn't ask like that!

People, you know, can be annoying like that.

They just need to act annoying from time to time, otherwise they feel uncomfortable, like a Sea Siren crawling on them.

Sure enough, Nenasha was angered by his unreasonable question and complained irritably: ["You have the nerve to say that!!?"]

["How would I know when to remind you! How am I supposed to know if that was just a little game between you two!"]

["Isn't it just biting each other? Haven't you two done it a lot before? Ah!!?"]

Nenasha felt quite wronged.

Honestly, act human for once, the Evil God doesn't want to be part of your flirting...

Is this my fault?

Should I be blamed for not warning you?

Before you accuse me, maybe you should look at your own issues?

By any measure, it's clearly more of a problem between you two!

Always researching how to make the wind chime sound the loudest, or the quietest without drawing attention... Haha!

Who knows if you two are actually enjoying it?

"Hahaha, look at you, getting anxious again."

Herbert laughed and shrugged... adjusting the Sea Siren on his shoulder.

"Hmm?"

Fremay blinked and looked down at Herbert: "Looking for me? Just say it then?"

Her gaze was quirky, staring suspiciously at Herbert's expression.

"Ahem!"

Herbert coughed a couple of times and laughed, "Nothing, it's just that my shoulder isn't very comfortable."

?

"What do you mean, are you saying I'm heavy?"

"Uh, I..."

Herbert felt the Sea Siren's gaze turn dangerous and the tail coiled around him gradually tighten, making him sweat profusely.

Oh dear, why do things always escalate over this issue?

You're a Sea Siren, why care about your weight?

Even Valentina doesn't worry about her weight despite eating so much!

Learn from others, will you!

Suddenly, the Sea Siren turned her head sharply and said slowly: "Hmm? Were you just thinking about another woman again?"

Herbert: ?

"Uh..."

Fremay, sensing the change in Herbert's thoughts, lifted a hand and pressed it to his cheek, making him look into her eyes.

"Hey, don't go too far! When you're with me, don't think about other women!"

Though she spoke as a threat, the wronged tone sounded like she was pouting.

Look at me.

At other times, I don't care, but when we're alone together, can you not look elsewhere?

Herbert felt a bit awkward being stared down by her and forced a smile: "Ahem, what are you saying? I wasn't thinking about anyone else, you're being... uh, too sensitive."

Right.

Miss Fremay, not only is your body overly sensitive, but your mind seems to be as well!

"...Hmm?"

Fremay looked at Herbert with skepticism, leaning in to sniff at him—unfortunately, she didn't have Valentina's talent to smell a lie.

"Really?"

"Really, really! Oh come on, why wouldn't you believe me? Would I lie to you?"

Herbert almost pounded his chest in assurance.

How could I lie to you!

I mean, "I wasn't thinking about (anyone besides Valentina)." you know.

As long as you add enough qualifiers beforehand, all words can become truths.

Finally, she had to grudgingly accept Herbert's account, pouting and muttering: "...Hmph, you better be!"

Honestly, Fremay didn't really care if Herbert had a partner other than her.

Having multiple partners is quite normal for someone powerful.

Even if Herbert was truly thinking about Valentina, Fremay would at most get miffed for a while.

And whether sincere or not, Herbert showed a conciliatory attitude, so Fremay backed down.

So, Fremay was just a bit jealous, and wouldn't really get infuriated.

Don't try to impose human values onto the society of magical creatures, and don't try to bind their concepts.

Even after centuries of integration, there's still a significant racial difference between humans and magical creatures.

Life views, concept of time, worldviews, ethics... all kinds of differences,

The great racial fusion requires "seeking common ground while reserving differences."

Even within the vague category of "magical creatures," there are considerable differences between various species.

There are matriarchal societies, patriarchal societies, plant-like reproduction, assembly and patch types...

Besides, even in such a world where individual power has reached staggering heights, human society development remains stuck in the medieval period.

The gods, to harvest faith, stifled certain paths of progress in this world, keeping their flock trapped in and remaining on this primitive level.

Thus, the conclusion is drawn—gods are wise, while mortals are foolish.

The thinking of mortals isn't very innovative or expansive either, still relying on the ancient etiquette and rules handed down from the older generation.
