Diary of Guarding Monster Girls-Chapter 390 - 265 Time to Wake Up from the Dream (4K, additional updates 80, 81)_2
Earlier, when she confronted Fremay, she had been keeping her emotions under control.
Everyone was fighting, and there was anger, but she never intended to make a lethal move.
But now, this Fallen Angel actually launched a deadly attack without hesitation!!?
"Get out of my way!"
In a fit of rage, Valentina didn’t care about the opponent’s true strength and swung a punch directly.
But just before her fist made contact, the opponent vanished again, teleporting to a distant spot.
"You dare to run!"
Just as Valentina prepared to continue condemning the other’s actions, Fremay held her shoulder, shaking her head in persuasion:
"Save the effort; it’s useless. You don’t need to argue with her."
Fremay stared at the Fallen Angel in the distance, who remained motionless as if deep in thought, biting her teeth absurdly:
"Because this guy isn’t even awake!"
Just now, Fremay had already confirmed the opponent’s state.
Though difficult to believe, utterly incomprehensible!
This Fallen Angel is asleep!
Meaning, the attack that the Fallen Angel made earlier was completely a reflex reaction.
What kind of monster is this!
Fremay bit her teeth, unable to hold back her exclamation: "Why is their power always greater than mine!?"
Damn it, am I the weakest one?
Moreover...
Fremay tightly watched the sleeping boy still in the Fallen Angel’s arms, despite understanding he might be in a unique state; she couldn’t help but ask.
Herbert!
At such a time?
How can you still fall asleep!!?
...
...
Within the dream.
Luhier exhibited clear turmoil, looking down at her attire, her eyes twitching slightly.
"This..."
It was only now that she noticed she was still in the appearance before she had Fallen.
Why is it like this?
Isn’t this Herbert’s dream?
"Did you realize the problem?"
Herbert’s lips curved slightly upwards, revealing a teasing smile, speaking lightly: "You see, this isn’t my dream; it is... yours."
He crossed his arms casually laughing: "After all, I have no idea what your past Battle Armor looked like."
"Moreover, dreams are beyond my control."
Herbert had consistently been a passive observer, unable to do anything in the dream.
Not to mention controlling the dream, he couldn’t even change the perspective.
Do you know what’s most frustrating during video watching?
Not being able to drag the progress bar.
What’s the point of those long, dull preludes?
I, Herbert, usually only watch the beginning and climax of films... well, of certain types.
"..."
Luhier, hearing this, fell silent, slightly lowering her gaze, furrowing her brows as if musing over something.
After a while, she slowly raised her head, gently shaking it, her voice somewhat deep yet firm as she spoke: "What’s the difference?"
"Whether here it’s your dream or mine, the matters I wish to convey to you remain unchanged."
"I only wish for you to know of His sins."
Yes, regardless of whose dream it is, Luhier’s intentions stay the same.
She only wants Herbert to see the crimes committed by the Sun God in the past, to understand He can’t be trusted.
"Oh? Is that really the case?"
But upon hearing this, Herbert smiled again, and this time with a deeper hint.
Smiling while tightly observing Luhier, he enunciated: "In my view, it’s not only different but quite significant."
Herbert peered into Luhier’s eyes, trying to capture each change within.
"The Sun God’s sins and His untrustworthiness, everything you’ve said needs to be grounded in you ’truly believing this’.
"If deep within, subconsciously, you still think you’ve never Fallen and believe you’re still the War Angel Commander of the Sun God back then... why bother trying to convince me?"
In the dream, both of their forms are manifestations of their subconscious minds.
Herbert mostly resembled his current life, with some details reflecting past echoes.
But her form was still undeniably the War Angel before She Fell... doesn’t that say enough?
Herbert stepped forward, standing before Luhier, softly asked:
"Luhier, allow me to inquire."
"Are you still a devout Sun Faithful?"
Herbert’s voice wasn’t loud, yet it hammered strongly upon Luhier’s heartstrings.
"I..."
...
...
Aurora Sanctuary.
Crack!
A clear hesitation came over the Fallen Angel’s actions, her raised wings halted mid-air.
!!!
"Good chance!"
Ever engaged in a fierce struggle with her, Valentina seized the gap, rushing forward.
Seeing her somewhat embarrassing attempt to pull Luhier away to reclaim Herbert was unsuccessful.
Valentina felt she could forcefully pry them apart, but worried about hurting Herbert, she had no choice but to give up.
"Ch!"
Unwilling to let the opportunity slip, she seized the moment Fremay froze Luhier’s other arms, drawing her head alongside her ear.
Taking a deep breath, then erupted in a roar!
"Wake up!"
...
...
"I... I... Not!"
Luhier grabbed her head, muttering in self-doubt: "It’s not like this! Definitely not so!"
Watching Luhier clearly wavering, Herbert moved before her, saying: "Before persuading me, perhaps sort out the thoughts deep inside."
While abrupt, Luhier’s act of forcefully drawing him into the dream was indeed not malicious.
She genuinely wanted Herbert to steer clear of the Sun God’s "clutches."
Unfortunately, she hadn’t even figured out her own heart.
This Fallen Angel’s ideas, at times, were simply naive enough to make people shake their heads.
With that, he raised a hand, gently caressing the troubled Angel’s cheek, tenderly hugging her.
"Relax, don’t worry, as long you don’t chase me away, I’ll stay until you clarify your true thoughts."
"But before that..."
Herbert placed her chin on his shoulder, whispering softly in her ear:
"It’s time for the dream to end."
...
...
Luhier’s eyes suddenly snapped open.
Buzz!!!
Instantly, a massive wave surged from Luhier’s body.
"Stop sleeping—huh!?"
The force of the impact was overwhelming, throwing Valentina, who was close to her, flying backward.
Whoosh—
Beneath the faceplate, countless pupils shivered simultaneously within those eyes.
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
She broke free from the frost, abruptly grasping her head with both hands.
"I, I, I... Ahhh!"
Am I really still believing in Him?
Have I truly not...
But if that were true?
Why did I Fall?
I?
I...
Just as Luhier continued to doubt herself, in her arms, Herbert too opened his eyes.
"No need to fear."
He lifted his hand, embracing Luhier just as in the dream, patting her back softly, whispering warmly:
"Even if this dream has ended, I won’t leave you."
Rushing, Herbert had no time to assess the surroundings, only focused on calming Luhier...
He hadn’t even noticed the observers within the scene.
And those two, watching Herbert embrace Luhier smoothly upon waking, both revealed different degrees of disdain.
Fremay snorted and turned away.
"Hmph."
While Valentina bared her teeth and growled at his back.
"Ha!!!"
Herbert: Huh?
Strange.
Why does it suddenly feel cold behind?
