Diary of the Improper Monster Girl Transformation

Chapter 128 "One Step Away" (1/5, please order first!)

PS: (Dear, it is recommended to eat it with the BGM: PorUnaCabeza "One Step Away"!)

In the middle of the dance floor, childhood sweethearts who were once close to each other cuddled together and danced with the changes of the music.

They looked directly into each other's eyes, with the same perfect smile on their faces.

And——...the more similar coldness in the depths of his eyes.

"There's no point—"

Filia was silent for the entire dance, never speaking.

When the new dance music started, she shook her head slightly, and when she turned her head, she whispered: "Herbert,

What do you mean? "

"You really don't know what I mean?"

Herbert felt amused and asked: "Is it possible that now, you still want to insist that you are unaware of those things?"

"Now that things have happened, do you still want to continue pretending? You don't have to ask me to explain everything clearly, do you?

Herbert looked at Filia and stated in a firm tone: "You may have been away from the royal city that day as you explained in your letter, but you also retained a lot."

"You——after that day, you were not unaware of the inside story of the incident."

"Moreover, you didn't come forward for some reason and left me to fend for myself."

Seeing that Filia seemed to want to explain, he shook his head directly, with a slight smile in his gray eyes, and said easily:

"Oh, you don't have to explain, let alone deny, because I'm not asking you, nor am I trying to deceive you."

"That's what it is, isn't it?"

The princess looked at him silently, nodded after a long time, and said softly: "Although things are a little different from what you thought, I do know what you suffered after what happened that day."

"Also————-remained silent as you said."

Herbert smiled.

"hehe."

He laughed happily, relaxedly, and even with some relief.

Filia looked at his expression quietly and asked with some confusion:

"Herbert, I understand the source of your anger, but what I don't understand is why you are still so angry even though it has been so long."

Filia couldn't understand. It was obvious to her that Herbert had no need to be angry anymore.

After that test, he was completely transformed, a completely different person.

The soft temperament on his body has disappeared, and he has completely transformed into a new look with sharp edges and corners.

"You now - not only do you seem unaffected by those things, you are even better than before."

No matter how you look at it, this is a blessing in disguise after passing the test---Why is he still so angry now?

"Why?"

"You ask me why? This————·

Herbert was stunned for a moment after hearing this question, then he laughed, helplessly shook his head, and said with some amusement: "Filia, we have known each other for so many years, and this is the first time I have discovered that you are actually That’s the kind of person he is.”

"I?"

"It turns out you don't understand anything... Haha!"

Herbert blinked and said jokingly: "Your heart is so cold."

Seemingly reacting to the word "cold", Filia slightly raised her eyebrows and stared coldly into Herbert's eyes.

But Herbert's smile on the surface remained unchanged, and he chuckled again and again: "Am I right?"

"Judging from the results, I did benefit from that incident. I left the royal city, went to the monastery, and became what I am today."

"I have become stronger, more mature, stronger, and completely different from the past."

"But, haven't you ever thought about it--does everything I get come at no cost?"

The Church of the Goddess of Luck has a very famous motto - Whatever you gain, you must lose something; whatever you lose, you must lose something.

There must be something gained.

"But compared to what you lost, isn't what you gained enough?"

Philia knew this, but in her opinion, no matter what Herbert lost, it seemed to be enough compared with what he gained.

"Do you think it's worth it? In your opinion, maybe so."

Herbert sighed softly, feeling a little emotional.

How heartless!

No, maybe not exactly heartless.

But naive.

Your Highness, this idea is too naive·

He looked at the princess who was only one step away but seemed far away, and said softly:

"What's more, now that things have happened, do you really think that everything can be treated as if nothing happened?"

"Isn't my heart important?"

"The humiliation, the pain and criticism I endured, the humiliation and torture I suffered at that time, do you really think you can get over it so easily?"

The distance between the two of them became closer as the dance progressed. Herbert used the tone of a lover's ear-to-side rubbing,

Whisper in Filia’s ear:

"My dear Princess, you can't go through with it."

"Even though the wound has healed, the pain will always be engraved in the depths of my soul. It cannot be healed, and it does not have to be healed."

"I will always remember that pain, that anger, that murderous intention."

"I swear, I will make them pay."

Filia frowned slightly as she listened to Herbert's malicious words. She stared at his smiling expression for a long time, shook her head and said, "Sorry, I still can't understand."

The strange thing is that Filia is not being sarcastic at this moment, but really can't understand it instinctively.

Realizing that her confusion was not a lie, Herbert did not dwell on it any longer and was too lazy to explain. He simply said, "Yes, you really can't understand it because you haven't experienced any of this. The whip hasn't hit you, so of course you don't." It will hurt.”

"You only need to know one thing. I came back this time to take revenge on those people from the beginning. That's enough."

Yes, that's enough.

Filia looked at him for a long time, and finally whispered when the two were close again: "You in the past——"

"People change, Filia."

Herbert interrupted her words indifferently, with a calm expression, and said softly: "You are like this, and so am I."

"My tenderness has died, and it died in that cold dungeon."

"And you——.·——are no longer the innocent princess you were before."

"By the way, you know that I swore an oath to become a paladin in the monastery, right?"

Filia narrowed her eyes and nodded silently. Of course she knew this.

"Then do you know exactly what oath I made?"

"..——·The oath of purity."

"Yes, it is the oath of purity. This oath gave me the ability to detect unclean things."

He laughed and whispered in his ear as the two of them got closer:

"It keeps reminding me of the fact that you—"

"It needs to be purified—."

"Inhuman things."
