Diary of the Improper Monster Girl Transformation.

Chapter 346 Do you want to try to believe me? (Please subscribe!)
The Order has knights.

Put all Wardens on trial.

And the Secret Guardian naturally has its own Secret Keepers.

Coincidentally, although Herbert is both a knight and a warden, he is also a secret keeper.

Moreover, he is the only living secret keeper in the entire Misty Monastery besides Bishop Ashes.

There were secret keepers before him, but they all died with the secret.

The Secret Keeper's Rules - Collect, Decipher, and Keep Silent.

As a qualified secret keeper, the most important principle is to remain silent and keep the secrets you know in your heart.

They are the best listeners.

No one has to worry about the keeper leaking the secret.

Bishop Ashes: “…”

She paused, raised her head slowly, glanced at Herbert suspiciously, and squinted her eyes to examine him carefully.

Will it really not be leaked?
She was quite skeptical about this.

"hehe."

Herbert saw the look in Bishop Ash's eyes, smiled, and asked knowingly, "So, you don't believe me now?"

nonsense.

Bishop Ashes was too lazy to speak.

She knew better than anyone how much value Herbert's title as the secret keeper had.

He had not passed any of the formal tests of the Secret Keepers, but was forcibly promoted by her.

Yes, Herbert's role as the secret keeper was not something he asked for, but was imposed on him by Bishop Ashes.

Of course, Bishop Ashes had no deep meaning behind what he did; he just did it on a whim.

She had no real wish for Herbert to be a real keeper of secrets, and had never required him to do anything other than discharge the duties of a keeper of secrets.

Because no more Secret Keepers are needed.

In this cold space, she is the only one who is alone with the secrets.

"..."

Because he couldn't see her expression, Herbert could only stare at Bishop Ash's body movements and analyze them silently.

After a moment, he had a vague answer in his mind.

She was still hesitating, with disbelief taking over her mind.

We have to find a way to make her change her mind.

Thinking about this, Herbert smiled and spread his hands, saying, "But even if you don't believe me, you should at least believe in yourself, right?"

"After all, you chose me as the keeper of the secret."

"When you forced me to be the Secret Keeper, did you ever think of the current situation?"

???

Have you thought about this?

What a joke!
Bishop Ash's face twitched under the shadow and he rolled his eyes suddenly.

Did I snatch you away from you just to make you lick my tail? ! ?
She was interrupted by Herbert's previous calm performance, and her emotions were incoherent. She had almost calmed down, but after thinking of this, she became angry again.

The look he gave him became more fierce.

Herbert sensed her gradually dangerous gaze, but his expression remained unchanged as he continued, "Would you like to try to trust me?"

"Hmm?" Bishop Ashes' emotions were interrupted once again, and his expression was slightly stunned.

She was not surprised that Herbert would say such a thing; it was not in his character to sit back and wait for death.

But what surprised Bishop Ash was the expression on his face when he said this, and the emotions he conveyed to her.

"you……"

This is Bishop Ash's private demiplane.

In this space, no lies can escape her eyes.

Herbert was not lying.

These words were completely from his heart.

There is not a single lie or falsehood.

"Put aside your doubts and choose to trust me. I will never let you down."

The young man in front of him was not joking, nor was he performing simply to find a way to escape.

Herbert meant it.

He really hoped that Bishop Ashes could believe in him!

But...why?
Bishop Ash was confused for a moment.

I wonder why Herbert is so persistent in wanting to gain my trust?

It is even unclear where this strong emotion in him comes from...

The relationship between them is indeed not distant. It does not seem like that between superiors and subordinates, or between elders and younger children. Instead, it seems like friends who communicate with each other on an equal footing.

But, we don’t seem to be that familiar with each other! ! ?
Your sudden mood swings make me a little confused!
Bishop Ashes probably couldn't understand why Herbert had become so fanatical.

Herbert, where does your enthusiasm come from?

As for the truth she wanted, it was not complicated at all.

Of course it’s because of her true identity!

Herbert is different now than he was in the past.

Now, he has a natural liking for all monster girls, and has a built-in liking bonus.

Furthermore, this is not just for the purpose of obtaining the materials and obtaining the protection.

Although obtaining materials is important and is a necessary part, apart from that, he still likes Monster Girls.

I don't know when it started, but Herbert developed a special preference for monster girls, which are inhuman creatures.

Human females, okay, but not great.

Monster Girl, very good, quite good.

Herbert actually noticed this situation and realized that there was something wrong with his aesthetic taste.

"I guess it was influenced by Nenasha. Yes, He must have secretly influenced my hobbies. It must be because of this reason."

"Fuck, why is this god of humor so evil!"

In his mind, Herbert threw the dirty water on Miss Harmony, who had no way to refute it, and put the question behind him with peace of mind.

That's it, so be it.

Anyway, this is not a big problem. It's not like you can't have any impulses towards human women at all. It's not a big problem.

Herbert looked at Bishop Ashes, who seemed to be frightened by his enthusiasm, and silently took a step forward and said, "What do you want me to do to believe you?"

"This one……"

When Bishop Ash hesitated, Herbert stepped forward again and asked, "Do you need me to sign a contract? Or do you need me to swear an oath? Or do you need to face my soul to know whether what I say is true or false?"

Do you want to open my chest and see my heart?
Herbert asked as he strode forward and came in front of Bishop Ash.

"..."

After being questioned repeatedly, Bishop Ash regained some composure and said firmly: "No, you don't need to do this."

She needed no assurances from Herbert.

Even if he didn't mention it, she wouldn't ask for it.

For Bishop Ashes, no matter how outrageous Herbert did, his identity in her eyes would not change. He was still a young seedling that needed to be nurtured and cared for.

She looked into Herbert's eyes and said slowly: "Herbert, you don't have to do this. Whether you reveal the secret or not, I won't ask you to do anything."

"Even if it means I might reveal your secret?"

"Even so." Bishop Ash nodded calmly and looked at Herbert silently.

“…” Herbert was silent, his expression shrouded in a gloom.

Seeing the boy's depressed look, Bishop Huijin's heart softened slightly, and he said softly: "This is not because I don't trust you, this is just the rule of the secret keeper... We don't ask others to keep secrets, we only ask ourselves."

Be strict with yourself and be lenient to others.

This is how the Keeper works.

Herbert frowned slightly, stared at the guard in front of him, and said slowly: "What if I am a real secret keeper? Will you believe me?"

"Yes, but unfortunately you are not." Bishop Ash replied calmly.

If Herbert is really a qualified secret keeper, then this matter would not be so complicated...

Snapped!
The sound coming from nearby interrupted Bishop Ash's thoughts, and he looked at the young man who clapped his hands in front of him.

……Um?

"That's easy then."

Herbert clapped his hands vigorously, and all the depression in his body was swept away. He laughed easily and said happily: "Isn't it just a secret keeper? I was not one in the past, but I can be one in the future."

"Since you think I haven't passed the test and can't be considered a true secret keeper...then come and test me."

He opened his arms vigorously and said with a smile: "If I can keep the secret this time, I can officially become a secret keeper."

She reacted.

Herbert had performed so many shows just now just to get that promise from his mouth.

“This… hehe, haha.”

Bishop Huijin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, shook his head repeatedly, and said helplessly: "You said so much just for this sentence?"

"That's right. As long as I become the keeper, you will believe me - don't go back on your word, you said it yourself!" Herbert smiled as if it was a matter of course.

"hehe."

Anyway, his biggest secret has been exposed, and Bishop Ashes no longer concealed it. He slowly stood up with the help of the snake's tail, looking down from above.

She slowly lowered her head and moved in front of the boy, letting the shadow of the hood cover him.

A playful question came from the shadows: "You want to pass the test, on what basis? By relying on your identity as a paladin? By swearing on the paladin's oath?"

Herbert, who was shrouded in shadow, seemed particularly calm. He shook his head firmly and said, "No, I swear on my own name."

"It has never been those dogmas and rules that can keep me secret, and it will never be."

"Only my own will can truly bind me."

Herbert looked at Bishop Ashes, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and said: "Besides, the keeper would choose to keep the secret, is it because he wants to abide by the rules?"

The two looked at each other quietly, and the half plane fell into silence for a moment.

"……very good."

A moment later, Bishop Ash was the first to react.

She nodded slowly to Herbert, sat back down, and tossed him a crystal bottle.

"Take it."

Herbert took it subconsciously and looked at the blood-like liquid in the container with some surprise.

"what is this?"

"[Silence and Noise], some also say it is [Blood of Lies], a legendary alchemical potion." Bishop Ashes replied softly.

"Since you want a trial, I'll give you a chance."

"At midnight, you close your eyes in front of the mirror and drink it. When you open your eyes again, you will see all kinds of illusory reflections in the mirror."

"They will ask you questions and use various methods to force you to reveal the secrets in your heart."

“This is the test.”

"If you can keep the secret and not be deceived by them, then you have passed the test and can become a true secret keeper."

She looked at Herbert's thoughtful expression and reminded him, "Don't think this is easy. When you open your eyes, you won't remember that this is a test and it's easy to get lost in it."

Bishop Ashes is not exaggerating.

In fact, the test she gave Herbert was the most difficult of all the Secret Keeper tests.

This was the initiation rite of the ancient Keepers of Secrets when they were still a secret society - silence and noise.

In order to avoid being exposed in front of the gods, the Secret Keeper Organization at that time had extremely strict requirements on whether new members could keep secrets.

The original intention of Bishop Ashes in doing this was to make Herbert give up and stop thinking about becoming the secret keeper.

This is not a fun thing to do.

If you don't truly have the awareness to endure loneliness, you shouldn't make such an attempt lightly.

It’s best not to even have any ideas!

"understood."

Bishop Ashes clearly cared so much about Herbert, but he still didn't take it seriously.

Herbert put away the potion, nodded easily, and smiled confidently: "Don't worry, I will definitely pass the test."

After saying that, he turned around and strode out.

Difficult? Dangerous?
He doesn't take any of them seriously!
After the young man walked for a while with his head held high, he heard a faint whisper behind him.

"Herbert."

"Ok?"

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? You didn't think I had forgotten?"

"..."

hiss.

Herbert paused and took a deep breath.

After distracting your attention for such a long time, you still couldn't avoid it in the end?

Didn’t I just lick your tail?

Why are you holding on to it so tightly?!

Just as Herbert stood there silently waiting to die, a helpless sigh came from behind him: "Alas... today's incident will not happen again."

Eh!!!?
"Okay! Next time I will..."

Herbert was overjoyed and was about to turn around to express his gratitude, but he felt a huge force behind him and rushed out of the crack.

After Herbert was thrown out, the demiplane fell into complete silence, just as it had been for the past thousand years.

Quiet, and dead silent.

"..."

rustling...

The snake tail covered with secret runes slowly emerged from under the skirt, lifted up, and was sent in front of Bishop Ashes.

She lowered her head to look at the wet tip of the tail, and frowned at the scratched scale.

There was a trace of scarlet blood on it.

For some reason, the blood exuded a fragrance that made her subconsciously want to inhale deeply, giving her the urge to take a big sip.

There was even a strange thought in my mind of wanting to lick the blood clean.

"..."

Bishop Ashes was silent for a long time, then he suppressed his impulses and wiped the snake's tail clean with a handkerchief.

"So, this is why he was able to gain the trust of those monsters so quickly?"

"Herbert actually has such a talent... He actually has a special physique that is attracted to monsters?"

She sighed, then naturally put the handkerchief that wiped the blood in front of her nose and took a deep breath...

“Suck—Hmm!!?”
