Diary of Guarding Monster Girls-Chapter 703 - 381 Then you kiss me! (7K, please subscribe!)_3

Finally, after being unable to bear it any longer, Miss Devil surrendered and couldn't help but yell, "Fine! Stop talking! I'll cooperate with you, okay?"

It's just a kiss, isn't it?

Go on, kiss me!

Just leave me alone!

Kreti resigned herself to fate, frowning as she closed her eyes, waiting for Herbert to come and steal her lips away.

But in the end, she waited for a long time, and Herbert never came to kiss her… he didn't even enter the room.

"Hmm?"

She opened her eyes uncertainly to find Herbert still standing in place, grinning as he said to her, "Why are you looking at me? I can't come in, why don't you come over here."

Kreti: ?

Still pretending?

The Demon curled her lips, let out a cold snort, and cast a sidelong glance at the Paladin.

"Ha!"

Are you freaking joking with me?

Your "Siege Hammer" is sleeping over there. If you want to come in, who could possibly stop you?

But no matter how much Kreti hinted, Herbert just wouldn't come in on his own. He stood outside the door, smiling at her, and beckoned with his finger.

Come over here~ come over here~

"Hmph!"

Kreti glared at Herbert, baring her teeth: "Don't think you can make me come over!"

I won't go over there!

"If you won't come over, then fine, let's do it a different way..."

Herbert looked at Kreti, suddenly giving a peculiar smile, and softly said, "How about this, you come over and kiss me."

Hmm?

"I won't!"

"Be good, come over and kiss me!"

"No——way——"

Kreti rolled her eyes almost to the heavens.

I'm already reluctant to let you kiss me, and you want me to kiss you?

Don't even think about it!

Under her steadfast refusal, it was finally Herbert who first took a step back and said, "Alright, alright, considering how you're pretending to be shy... I'll compromise a bit, this time you just need to kiss the back of my hand."

"Is this okay?"

"I've compromised so much already, if you still refuse, I'll have to resort to other means, you know."

With that, Herbert quietly glanced at the Siege Hammer Miss stuck in the wall.

He didn't say anything outright, but the threat was clear.

Either you come over,

Or I let her come over.

It's your choice!

"..."

Perhaps unwilling to keep entangling with Herbert, or maybe unwilling to face off against Valentina head-on, after much hesitation, Kreti reluctantly agreed to Herbert's proposal.

"You promised, once it's done, you won't ask for anything else!"

"Don't worry, I won't break my word."

She slowly walked to the door, knelt on one knee in front of the opening, and took Herbert's extended long hand, lightly brushing her nose against the back of his hand in a hand-kissing gesture.

The kiss on the hand didn't initially involve actual contact; genuine contact would be seen as an impolite provocation.

Kreti wanted to let go just like that, but she knew very well that Herbert wouldn't let it go so easily.

"..."

So, after hesitating for half a second, Kreti closed her eyes, steeled her heart, and let her red lips fall on Herbert's hand.

She intended just to graze it lightly and then release, to dispatch this bothersome guy.

But just when Kreti was about to do so, she suddenly froze.

"Mmph!!?"

She remained in the hand-kissing posture, suddenly opening her eyes wide.

Buzz——

In that instant, her soul heard a grand humming.

What... happened?

Kreti was bewildered for a moment, then quickly realized what she heard—it was the sound of Herbert's soul.

Indeed, she had kissed Herbert's hand, but the kiss touched more than just his flesh.

She had touched Herbert's soul. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

As everyone knows, souls have always been the most beloved resources of demons.

Demons stir up trouble everywhere, trading with various Fallen for souls.

They love a multitude of souls, especially powerful ones!

And Herbert's soul was the most unique among all the souls Kreti had ever encountered.

It was even hard for her to find the exact words to describe what she saw at that moment.

Kreti felt like she was staring at a massive, exquisite gemstone.

Complex, magnificent, ever-changing, dazzling and profound, it made her unconsciously captivated.

Simultaneously, she felt as if she were standing before the most terrifying Abyss, sensing the chilling cold from the darkness.

It made her shiver yet filled her with longing, wanting to claim this soul for herself.

But just as Kreti was about to succumb entirely, that sweet soul suddenly drew away from her.

"No! Don't go... ah!"

The Demon instinctively reached out, wishing to grasp it firmly, but the next moment she realized what she was doing.

Before shame could fill Kreti, her hand was gently held.

"If you want, I will always remain here." Herbert's gentle voice came from outside the door.

!!?

"You... let me go!"

The awakened Miss Devil abruptly pulled back her hand, though it was clear she was overthinking it, as he hadn't intended to hold onto her hand.

Herbert watched her pull back, chuckling lightly, "Haha, feeling shy?"

"...No!" Kreti bit her lip and turned her head.

"Oh~ is it so? Haha, fine, let's just assume it is."

The Paladin laughed joyfully, not pointing out the obvious lie, and said, "Alright, as we agreed, I'll let you go this time."

"But prepare yourself; next time, it won't be as simple as today."
