Diary of Guarding Monster Girls-Chapter 579 - 336 How dare you!? (5K, additional - s 122, 123)

"Why!!?"

Whoosh—smack!

"Ah! No! Why ah ah!!?"

Whoosh—smack smack!

"Ouch! Wait! Flora! Why are you doing this to me?"

Kreti, who was hung upside down, was utterly confused, being whipped by the grim-faced Flora.

In this situation, she wasn't even angry, just perplexed.

What's happening?

No!

What on earth is happening!!?

She couldn't even bother to struggle, she shouted, "Wait! I really didn't come looking for trouble this time! Why are you doing this to me? Why hang me up and beat me?"

"I can take a beating, but could you at least tell me why!!?"

Why?

I'm not against getting hit, but you have to give me a reason!

"...Tch!" Flora pursed her lips, clicked her tongue in disgust, and kept whipping silently.

The Demon was silent, only accelerating her whip swings.

Whoosh—smack smack smack!

Towards the end, the speed was so fast that it was like spinning the hung-up Demon like a top.

Instead of stopping the prisoner fight, the Prison Warden stood by, arms folded, silently watching the tragic scene play out.

"...Heh heh."

He smirked playfully, appreciating the harmonious interaction between the Demon and the Devil.

Although Flora's moves seemed fierce, and her whipping seemed vicious, truth be told... she wasn't applying much force.

Not to mention leaving marks, not even a red imprint was left.

In Herbert's mind, only one phrase popped up regarding this scene—spare the rod and spoil the child!

You two are just playing a game, aren't you? 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Herbert understood that Flora was using these actions to cover her own awkwardness and embarrassment.

Although, her method was more of a burden... mainly to the Demon.

Miss Demon wasn't embarrassed anymore, but the embarrassed person became someone else.

Kreti had chosen an incredibly unfortunate time to make a commotion.

Flora perhaps didn't intend to really make any excessive demands, but being interrupted by Kreti forced her to hesitate to speak out.

As such, it seemed like Miss Demon was about to make some highly unreasonable demands.

Herbert, seeing through the situation, chose not to reveal the truth.

No other reason... besides, it was pretty amusing to watch.

I don't have any special hobbies; I just enjoy watching women fight.

Especially when it's something like this, where one is willing to hit and the other is willing to endure.

This scene is quite entertaining!

To celebrate with a drink!

Herbert merely watched with a smile until he noticed Kreti stopped questioning the reason and was now just staring at him with resentment.

Stare—

She didn't speak, but said everything—are you really just going to stand there and watch?

Seeing the expression akin to a resentful wife, Herbert couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hahaha!"

Eventually, he couldn't bear to simply let the show go on, clapped his hands, and interrupted Flora's "performance."

"Alright, alright, that's enough for now."

"Whatever grudge you two have, sort it out after I leave."

What grudge? What hatred? Resolve it privately.

I don't want to be the judge here.

"...Yes, understood."

Flora immediately bowed her head and put away her whip as Herbert granted her an escape route.

She had actually wanted to stop long ago, just hadn't found the right moment, otherwise, she wouldn't have whipped so extravagantly—it was a strategy to prompt Herbert to step in and mediate.

Herbert understood Flora's little scheme, chose not to expose it, and smiled:

"Flora, the reward I mentioned earlier, you don't need to rush into telling me now; you can take your time, and tell me when you've made a decision."

"Rest assured, my promise is still valid."

"Alright, let me have some time alone with Kreti."

After saying this, Herbert waved gently at Miss Demon, indicating that she could exit.

"Understood, I'll take my leave for now." Flora nodded, turned around, and left immediately.

And as Miss Demon exited the scene, Miss Devil kept her eyes fixed on her back, yet didn't utter any harsh words.

"..."

Only after she completely left did Kreti, still hung upside down, turn to squint at Herbert and slowly ask, "So, do you know the reason she acted?"

Herbert smiled at the words and nodded honestly: "Yes."

"Since you know..."

The Demon angrily questioned: "Then why just watch?"

"Yes, just watch."

The human openly admitted, and asked back: "Can't I?"

The upside-down Demon and the standing mortal exchanged gazes, neither spoke further for a while.

"Tch."

Kreti didn't complain further about why Herbert hadn't stepped in to rescue her, but simply couldn't help but sarcastically say: "I sometimes can't tell who the real Demon is, if it's me or you."

Herbert blinked and laughed: "Is that a compliment?"

"Definitely not!"

Kreti couldn't resist the urge to complain, unsure of what this Paladin was thinking, and grumbled: "Also, how long are you going to stare? Get me down already!"

Okay, you didn't help me before, but now that I'm hanging upside down, are you still not going to help?

"Ah, I thought you liked that position."

Herbert teased with a smile as he began to help her down: "By the way, nice figure."

Kreti glared at Herbert, annoyed: "Tch! You... ah!"

As she was complaining, she suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of weighinglessness as she plummeted towards the ground.

With her Magic Power forcibly sealed by Flora, she was currently just an ordinary human with a sturdier body.
