Diary of Guarding Monster Girls-Chapter 578 - 335 What reward do you want? (5K, 1st update)_3

Although Flora's knowledge told her that taking further actions would definitely achieve better results, she still forcibly restrained this idea.

For so many years, she has been trying hard to resist this instinct of the Fallen—until now, it is still the case.

After rubbing for a while, Herbert suddenly thought of something, and his hand stopped.

"Wait, Flora, didn't you tell Valentina that this lava can actually be considered your bath water?"

You know, Flora has been soaking her body in this lava for years, absorbing energy from various Magma Pools to maintain herself...

Calling it bath water is not an exaggerated statement at all.

"..."

Flora slowly opened her eyes and didn't answer directly at first. Instead, she raised her hand to move her palm over Herbert's hand.

"Hmm."

She gestured for him to continue, not to stop.

She pouted and glared at Herbert.

Your apology lacks sincerity, huh?

How can you stop halfway through?

"Oh oh, I'll continue." Herbert realized his mistake and quickly smiled to continue.

This time, to apologize, he changed his technique, no longer just rubbing forcefully, but seriously focusing on his fingertips.

Letting his fingertips gently slide on the scalp, lightly tapping various acupoints like a massage.

Once Herbert got serious, the massage had a significant effect.

!!!

"Mm~"

Feeling this gentleness, Flora reacted strongly, instinctively tensing her body, even her toes were tightly clenched, almost humming some untoward tones from her nose.

"Mmm... cough cough!"

She coughed forcefully, trying to conceal her embarrassment, then said in unison, "I actually told Valentina, but… she didn't listen."

Speaking of this, Flora was also very helpless.

"At first, I indeed didn't tell her the truth, and I even specially prepared a Lava Pool that I hadn't soaked in for her."

"I thought she wouldn't drink much, so I didn't say more, but... after she drank up several pools and was still unsatisfied."

"Helplessly, I could only tell her the truth, that all the remaining pools have been soaked by me over the years."

"But Valentina hesitated for half a minute and then accepted it gladly."

"Moreover, she, she also said..."

The Enchanting Demon hesitated, furrowing her brows in perplexity, still showing the bewilderment and slight fear she faced when confronting the Giant Dragon.

"She said it's okay, even... better?"

At this moment, not only Flora was confused, but Herbert was equally unable to escape it.

Herbert: ???

No, Valentina, what do you mean?

Say it!

Which forum are you from?

"What happened after that? Forget it, you don't have to say it, I can guess..." Herbert hesitated for a moment, shook his head, unwilling to ask more.

Details don't need to be asked, the general idea won't have much deviation, better leave some face for the child.

Herbert looked at Flora, speaking earnestly to her, "Sorry, it's really tough for you."

"...Oh, it's really nothing." Flora blinked at his seriousness and smiled.

"Master, you don't need to apologize for her, nor do I need anyone to apologize to me."

"After all, this is not my domain, just a cage imprisoning me. Even if Valentina drinks all the lava here, it won't affect me."

"Moreover, this lava will regenerate... it will just take a few decades, not very long."

Flora was merely complaining about this awkwardly amusing situation to Herbert, not truly wishing for him to bow and apologize.

Just like she said, this is a cage, not any private domain.

Herbert, taking the initiative to bow as the master, instead made it difficult for her as a follower.

"Hmm? Oh..."

Herbert thought about it and realized that it really was the case.

Unknowingly, he started subconsciously treating the cages imprisoning these Monster Girls as their domains...

Was it because these cage environments were too well-suited to their living habits?

Thinking about it this way, it does seem so.

From the start, the Third Commandment Hall didn't have that characteristic of deliberately tormenting prisoners that Herbert had in mind.

Initially, it barely counted as one, but once he gained the first few layers of permissions, the environment completely changed.

If it wasn't for the constraint on freedom, they could be considered to be in a rather comfortable environment.

Imprisoning Sea Sirens with Water Prisons! Imprisoning Demons with Fire Prisons! Imprisoning Vampires with Dark Prisons... could be considered a form of performance art.

Valentina's behavior of smuggling lava this time, although it ultimately disrupted Flora's habitation, was actually not a big deal at all.

"Since that's what you think, then... is this matter over then?" Herbert asked tentatively.

"Of course, if you want to reward me, or perhaps compensate me a little, I wouldn't have any objections." The Enchanting Demon replied with a smile.

Hmm?

Herbert looked into the Enchanting Demon's eyes, suddenly finding his expression becoming playful, and lightly chuckled as he asked, "Oh, then tell me, what reward do you want?"

"Um, I want..."

Just as Flora shyly prepared to voice her request...

Boom!

A loud noise erupted from the Bronze Fortress.

"Hahaha! I did it!"

Flora: ???
