Diary of Guarding Monster Girls-Chapter 695 - 379 He doesn’t want it, she insists on giving it (6K, please subscribe)
I want it!
I want it!!
I want it!!!
Listening to Miss Devil’s impassioned cries, Herbert was completely stunned.
This, is this right?
Is this something you can conspire about so loudly?
Don’t you have any sense of shame?
Or is it...
"Uh, you want me to help you enhance your strength?"
"That’s right!"
Kreti nodded decisively, "I want you to help me too!"
"No, I think... that method might not be suitable for you."
After hesitating and thinking it over, Herbert didn’t immediately accept Kreti’s passionate invitation.
No rush, just wait a moment.
What if there’s a trap?
But clearly, Kreti didn’t get Herbert’s hint—she just thought this guy was stingy, unwilling to take her along.
Stingy man!
She pouted and humphed, "Herbert, why are you so stingy? Can’t bear to part with this?"
Herbert: ?
I’m stingy? Am I stingy? When was I ever stingy?
And, what am I supposed to be parting with?
"Since you can help Valentina enhance her strength, you can certainly help me too!"
Miss Devil looked at the young man with longing, expressing her request— I want you to assist me in my cultivation!
"I want it too!"
And after making her request, Kreti showed her sincerity accordingly—she wouldn’t want this much help for free; she’s willing to pay.
"Of course, I won’t ask for your help for nothing. I’ll give you appropriate rewards, and we can sign a contract."
"You can draft the rules of the contract, and I promise not to play any tricks within it."
Kreti looked at him earnestly, saying, "How about it? Isn’t this condition sincere enough?"
To be fair, for a devil who is usually cunning, voluntarily proposing such a fair contract really shows sincerity.
Some might wonder, "Isn’t a ’fair contract’ supposed to be a given?"
Not really.
For a devil, with contracts, fairness is not the norm; unfairness is.
Any loopholes are to be exploited, any chance to trick is to be taken. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Only the strong and the wise are fit to sign contracts with devils.
And what devils call "strong" and "wise" actually refers to two types of people.
Either they are strong enough in prowess to force a devil to obediently sign a "fair" contract.
Or they surpass devils in scheming, making them willingly and wholeheartedly sign "unfair" contracts.
And Kreti, to enhance her strength, unusually adopted an attitude reserved for the strong.
After hearing Miss Devil’s ingenious plan, Herbert remained silent for a long time.
"..."
He really was silent for a long time, frequently fidgeting, looking very conflicted.
Herbert would sometimes stroke his chin, furrow his brows, or deeply gaze at Kreti.
He pressed his lips tightly, looking serious. After quite some time, he finally relaxed, shaking his head helplessly, and let out a long sigh.
"Sigh!"
After sighing, Herbert rubbed his temples with some annoyance, muttering:
"That Valentina is really something, why does she blab about everything? Is this something to be told to others? Isn’t this causing trouble for me? Really... sigh!"
While Herbert kept sighing, Kreti’s expression grew more and more delighted.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Herbert’s unwilling reaction secretly delighted Kreti.
"Hehe, guessed right!"
She knew she had made the right move with this step!
If Herbert had readily agreed to Kreti’s request, she would have suspected Valentina of deceit.
But with Herbert now so conflicted, it confirmed to her— he indeed had a way!
This mysterious young man truly had a method to help her enhance her strength.
Moreover, seeing Herbert’s current conflicted look, this method likely required a considerable cost, and he was unwilling to provide it to others.
Herbert was "conflicted" for quite a while, then seemed finally resigned, lifted his head, and said:
"Kreti, this matter, I initially didn’t intend for others to know, but since you unexpectedly found out, I won’t hide it anymore."
"Uh-huh!" Kreti nodded excitedly.
Here it comes!
About to get to the main point!
Under Miss Devil’s watchful eyes, Herbert said gravely, "Yes, just as you thought, I do have a method to enhance your strength."
"With my help, Valentina has now broken through the barrier of the Legendary Peak, officially progressing to an Epic Giant Dragon."
"Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!!!"
Even though she had roughly guessed this outcome, Kreti was still shocked to hear this news from Herbert’s lips.
Epic!
Valentina had indeed successfully stepped into the Epic realm!
The last time she was seen, she was stuck at the edge of progression, yet in just a few days, she had successfully advanced.
Recalling Valentina’s terrifying power even at the Legendary Peak, Kreti grew more and more wary of Valentina’s current strength.
Now, just how strong is Valentina...?
Meanwhile, Kreti grew more curious about the help Herbert could provide, increasingly eager.
What kind of help could it be?
Is it a potion to be taken?
Or an injection to be administered?
Or some kind of special Spirit Gathering Array?
Whichever it is, it’s what she needs now.
She wants to become stronger, to be much stronger than that damn demon, to avenge past humiliations!
