Diary of Guarding Monster Girls-Chapter 574 - 334 Healthy Mental State (4.4K, subscribe!)_2

"Do you understand this?"

"If you don't understand, I can also help you recall it properly."

Saying this, Herbert snapped his fingers lightly.

At the same time, subtle changes occurred in the Mirror Space—the Sealing Array activated!

Herbert's authority in the Disciplinary Hall wasn't negligible, enough to mobilize this power to discipline those unruly prisoners intending to rebel.

And manifested in the Mirror Space was a crack that appeared simultaneously on the infinitely spreading mirrors.

Crack!

The expression of the person within the mirror changed, suddenly realizing the source of the Prison Warden's confidence.

He can hurt me!!?

But just as Lukalia prepared to defend herself, the force invading the Mirror Space actively retreated, abandoning the transformation of the space.

It actively withdrew?

"Hmm?"

The Mirror Demon looked at Herbert in confusion, discovering a slight grin at the corner of his mouth.

"Surprised? Has it been so long since you've encountered a normal Prison Warden that you've forgotten your own identity?"

Herbert looked at the now silent Mirror Demon, nodded mockingly, and said, "Seems like you've recalled now? Haha."

"Indeed, here, you are the subordinate."

The prisoner being subjugated by the Prison Warden is a natural rule.

If the Prison Warden has no means to restrain the prisoners, how can they manage the prison?

Luhier has a special status, with a partial role as an administrator, so Herbert can't suppress him with conventional methods.

But other Monster Girls... which of them truly broke free from the suppression of the Sealing Array?

It's just that Herbert has always been unwilling to use such means to punish them—not that he's unable to do so.

Legendary was suppressed.

Epic, can definitely not shake it off, right?

The answer is—no, they cannot.

Lukalia remains under the suppression of the Sealing Array!

Previously, when Herbert passively entered the Mirror Space, he didn't actively control the Sealing Array because Valentina's life and death were unknown; he didn't want to startle Lukalia and cause Miss Hungry Dragon to face any mishap.

At the same time, Herbert also needed to take the opportunity to observe Lukalia's character, so he could decide on a strategy for her later.

After probing at that time, Herbert roughly understood the other party's character—someone who enjoys some mischievous pranks but isn't the type to secretly deal fatal blows.

And such a type... he's always very skilled at handling.

"However, you needn't be nervous, I don't plan to use this as a means to threaten you."

Herbert actively withdrew the force from the Mirror Space, shrugged at the reflection, and spoke casually, "Just now, those were merely a formal greeting."

"You'd better rein in your audacious thoughts."

For Lukalia, Herbert's consistent approach remains unchanged.

Since Lukalia is generally consistent with all previous Monster Girls and not exactly a dire menace, there's no need to treat them cruelly.

Instead of cruel and ruthless treatment, he prefers using different methods to establish new relations with Monster Girls.

"..."

While Herbert spoke, Lukalia appeared very quiet, never interrupting, silently observing his expression.

Though the crack on the mirror only lasted a moment before returning to normal, it didn't really harm Lukalia hiding in the mirror.

But the significance represented by Herbert's action was quite substantial and... rather clear.

This is a warning.

It's an unequivocal reminder.

Don't think you can behave recklessly in the Disciplinary Hall!

As the Prison Warden, I still have ways to discipline you!

Facing the Prison Warden's warning reminder, the Mirror Demon didn't disdainfully ignore it.

She furrowed her brows, intensely gazing at the calmly expressioned young man, attempting to find more details.

"..."

The young Paladin harbors a faint arrogance, but it's not derived from possessing the Sealing Array.

Perhaps, as he himself stated, he wouldn't really use the Sealing Array wilfully.

Then the question arises... what's the real source of his arrogance, his true confidence?

Moreover, although Herbert's words are logical and reasonable, Lukalia feels that isn't the true reason.

As an Epic Mirror Demon, Lukalia is not a naive girl; over millennia, she's seen too many beings.

She mimics their every move, speculates their thoughts, experiences their lives. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Though due to her unique constitution, she's never greatly influenced by them, maintaining her essence.

But her experiences could surpass Valentina manyfold.

Thousands of faces, thousands of minds.

The thoughts of beings are very complex.

Lukalia furrowed her brows, inquiring about Herbert's reason which had notably remained unsaid: "What's the second reason?"

Mentioning this point, Herbert's expression noticeably relaxed, he replied with a smile, "Secondly, I'm not summoning you, rather I'm responding to you."

"'What's your intention?' Isn't this something I should be asking you instead?"

"Weren't you the one who's been wanting to find me all along?"

Herbert raised both eyebrows simultaneously, looked at the person within the mirror playfully, and spoke in an odd tone, "I heard you've been searching for me constantly lately."

"Now I've found you, why ask me? Go ahead, what do you want from me?"

Want from me?

Lukalia looked at Herbert, her mouth twitched slightly—can I say that initially, I just wanted to find you to chat and pass the time?
