Diary of the Improper Monster Girl Transformation.

Chapter 85 I Trust Her (44 plus more)
"Judge, Knight Commander..."

Herbert turned around and bowed silently to the two departing figures.

When the two men just waited outside the Third Discipline House instead of rushing in to arrest him, Herbert had vaguely guessed what the other party meant.

The Archbishop's attitude is still unclear, but the two of them are definitely willing to believe in themselves.

Even though they haven't been together for a long time, she is still willing to trust him.

Herbert was actually a little excited.

Especially after having experienced betrayal and suspicion in the past, this trust is even more touching.

But at the same time, Herbert felt ashamed of this trust.

Because he really is a blasphemous, corrupt and dishonest paladin.

You trusted the wrong person——

"You don't have to thank them, it's just what they should do."

"As a strong person, you must protect the weak."

The guard looked at Herbert who seemed to be thinking about something, and said softly, "Well, don't be nervous. The old man won't do anything to you. Just answer his questions truthfully."

"As long as there is nothing wrong with you, he won't target you."

Bishop Ash pushed the door gently, and the huge stone door slowly revealed a gap large enough for one person to pass through, revealing the sacred space behind it.

"Go."

Herbert nodded silently, hummed, and moved forward.

"understood."

Those who are clean will be clean by themselves.

That's true.

But the thing is, I really have a problem.

I'm not clean!
With such helpless complaints, Herbert walked into the Sealed Temple alone, and the stone door behind him slowly closed.

Click.

"call……"

After entering, Herbert stopped and let out a long breath. The emotions in his eyes gradually dissipated and finally returned to calm.

He walked slowly in the temple and soon saw the old man sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.

"Your Excellency the Archbishop."

The white-bearded old man slowly opened his eyes, nodded, and said softly: "...Sit down."

"Yes."

In the silent sanctuary, the two sat facing each other calmly.

Herbert seemed extremely calm at this moment, neither frightened nor excited.

In any case, now that we have come this far, there is no turning back.

Herbert looked at the archbishop quietly, at the old man who was wearing a rough linen robe like an ordinary old man.

The highest fighting force of the entire monastery is known as a saint walking on earth.

In front of such an existence, clumsy concealment has no meaning at all. It is better to express your thoughts openly.

He was very curious, how powerful was this being?

Herbert was watching the Archbishop, and the Archbishop was watching him silently.

But it was not just a superficial observation. Those deep and calm eyes seemed to see through everything, analyzing his soul through his flesh and bones.

It made him feel like he had been seen through completely.

"..."

Finally, the archbishop's gaze finally rested on the back of Herbert's hand.

!

Just when Herbert thought the archbishop had seen something, the old man spoke.

he asks:

“What is life like in a monastery?”

Herbert narrowed his eyes, somewhat confused as to what the archbishop meant.

Chatting at this time? "...I'm used to it."

"Well, you do seem to be adjusting well."

The archbishop nodded and said kindly, "The dragon's trust, the siren's lingering love, the vampire's kindness, the dark elf's curiosity, the devil's resentment... In just a few days, you have left so many causes and effects on your body."

!!!

Herbert was really shocked this time, he felt as if his underwear was seen through.

Say!
Did you press the surveillance button on me?

"you……"

"Don't panic, kid. I don't mean to blame you. On the contrary, you have done much better than I expected."

The archbishop waved his hand and asked kindly, "What kind of heretic is the Wrathful in your eyes?"

"The Rage..."

Herbert suppressed his restlessness and said in a deep voice, "No, Valentina is indeed dangerous. She is powerful and uncontrollable, but she is not that evil. She likes fighting but not killing."

He thought he would give a few more examples of his interactions with Valentina to prove this, but who knew that the Archbishop actually nodded in agreement at this time:
"Well, I saw that when I met that child. She is indeed a little dull in terms of intelligence and doesn't have much experience in getting along with others, but her nature is not bad. With a little discipline, she can be put on the right path."

"So, instead of destroying her on the spot, I took her back to the monastery to suppress her."

"It's just that the character she showed was a little too violent. The warden before you only saw the viciousness in her, but failed to notice the kindness in her nature."

"I am glad that you noticed this, child."

?

Ok?
Herbert was a little confused.

This sounds about right.

The archbishop's words could be described as quite enlightened, almost contrary to his impression of the monastery's policy of being irreconcilable with foreign races.

But is it right for you, the head of a monastery, to say such things?
Is it me or you who has the problem?

The archbishop looked at the boy whose expression gradually became strange, laughed, and asked, "Do you trust her?"

"I trust her."

Herbert's answer was firm, without any hesitation.

"Even though she's a heretic?"

"Even if she is a foreigner."

Herbert looked the Archbishop straight in the eye and said firmly, "This trust has nothing to do with race or anything else."

"Valentina chose to trust me without reservation, so I trusted her without reservation."

"I am unwilling and will not betray her trust."

The archbishop stared at Herbert silently for a moment, then nodded with a smile, then turned his head to look at the center of the cathedral and asked:

"Kid, do you know what that is?"

what?
Is there something there?

Herbert turned his head in confusion, following his gaze, and his eyes suddenly widened as he saw something that was definitely not there just now.

A half-human-high stone statue of a girl appeared out of nowhere in the center of the temple!
And what shocked Herbert the most was...

He felt a sense of familiarity from the stone statue for no reason.

familiar!!?

goo.

He felt his throat was a little hoarse, and said with difficulty: "What is that..."

The archbishop seemed not to notice his abnormality and his attention was always on the stone statue.

"Its official name is the [Profane Prayer Statue]. It is a saint-level seal and the most powerful seal in the entire Misty Monastery."

"At the same time, a long, long time ago, it had another name..."

The archbishop looked at the stone statue, many ancient images flashed through his eyes, and he shook his head and said softly:
"【Death of Saint Nenasha】."
