Diary of Guarding Monster Girls

Chapter 897 - 446: We Are Pure!!! (Super Loud) (6.2K)

He wouldn’t betray Herbert at all; on the contrary, he would help him continue keeping the secret.

Just like the Cold Winter Goddess’s mindset, he too was tired of the monotonous routine and wanted to observe some intriguing anomalies.

He felt that he had won big, easily manipulating Herbert.

But unbeknownst to him, the Silver Moon Goddess, in her carelessness, had gradually fallen into the trap Herbert had set for him.

"Hold on, did you say ’criticism’?"

Herbert caught the flaw in the goddess’s words, his expression solemn, and immediately asked, "Did I do something worthy of criticism?"

"Didn’t you?" Espera raised an eyebrow, her expression somewhat puzzled.

You’re still asking me?

How on earth can you still have the gall to ask?

"Weren’t you all hugging just now?"

Just now, that scene of Kreti and Herbert tightly embracing each other was something he had seen with his own eyes!

Do you even realize what you look like now?

The goddess glanced sideways, her mouth twitching.

You’re shirtless now; if I had come a little later...would you two have piled up together?

The Silver Moon Goddess felt she had already given him enough face, definitely as far as one can go with kindness.

And yet, this guy didn’t appreciate it!

"Is this what you consider sacrilege?"

Herbert furrowed his brows, asked gravely, "What’s the problem with hugging? Isn’t it a proper gesture of goodwill between friends?"

Hmm?

The Silver Moon Goddess, feeling Herbert’s aggressive momentum, began to lose her confidence.

Wait, something seems amiss.

She squinted, staring at the young man before her, incredulously asking, "Hmm? Are you saying, you two..."

Herbert nodded firmly and spoke with determination, "Our relationship is pure."

—Up to this point.

At least for now, it’s still a pure friendship.

That kiss... was her sneak attack on me!

Herbert inwardly wiped his sweat, secretly glad he hadn’t impulsively pushed Kreti down.

If he’d acted on impulse back then, he really wouldn’t be able to say such words now.

Take the ups and downs as predestined.

Then, he added.

"I don’t know how you’ve speculated about my relationship with the Master of the Sun, but you probably misunderstood us."

"My relationship with him is equally pure."

Hmm?

Eh!

The Silver Moon Goddess fell into a moment of confusion.

Previously, she had preconceived notions about Herbert, assuming him to be the Sun Goddess’s companion, without thinking deeply.

Now, as she felt Herbert’s words, she didn’t detect any traces of lying.

What he’s saying... truly seems to be the truth!

But this isn’t right!

This, how come...

But Herbert gave the Silver Moon Goddess no time to think, standing up, stepping forward, and asked gravely:

"So, do you believe I have violated the commandments and engaged in more intimate contact with them?"

In the instant he borrowed momentum to pose this question, Herbert silently prayed, hoping Valentina wouldn’t misread the atmosphere and emerge bare...

Please don’t jump out as a counterexample to slap me in the face!

Sleep a bit longer!

Because of the special material of the ruins, he believed the Silver Moon Goddess likely hadn’t noticed the two puffs inside...

More so, which proper Divine Spirit would idly spy on the private lives of believers?

Moreover, he guessed that once Kreti entered the ruins, she would certainly clean up Valentina and the others.

As the devout follower of the Silver Moon Goddess, she definitely wouldn’t let those two "impure objects" dirty the goddess’s sight!

"I..."

The Silver Moon Goddess looked at Herbert’s robust conviction, her heart wavering too.

Did I think wrongly?

Seeing this, Herbert breathed a sigh of relief, pretended regret, gently shook his head and said, "Respected Lady of the Moon, although I respect your status, please do not insult the faith of them and me."

He sighed softly, and then invoked another Holy Mark within his body.

The initial Holy Mark.

And the moment the Holy Mark surfaced and Holy Power circulated, the Silver Moon Goddess’s previously clueless expression changed again, becoming thoroughly shocked.

"Is this, this vow? Hmm!!?"

In that previous, sensational battle, the world had already witnessed Herbert’s powerfulness.

With the help of the Epic Demon, he could even battle the embodiment of Divines.

However, Herbert hadn’t previously appeared before in the eyes of the world.

They mostly saw the Solar Holy Mark bestowed by the Sun Goddess to Herbert, unaware of the original Holy Marks and vows on Herbert’s body.

The Silver Moon Goddess was among them.

But now, he understood.

What this guy had vowed wasn’t the massacre-related Vow of Vengeance, nor the combat-type Divine Oath, nor even the later Vow to Slay the Gods.

But rather...

The Purity Oath!!?

"Eh!!?"

The Silver Moon Goddess completely lost her composure, letting out a cute gasp.

It wasn’t that she found this Divine Oath rare.

On the contrary, she was exceptionally familiar with it.

The Silver Moon Knights, following the Silver Moon Goddess’ faith, were not limited by gender, but mostly were noble women fallen from grace, discovered for their potential during their time as nuns at the Silver Moon Church, ultimately becoming Paladins.

The Silver Moon Goddess is renowned as a maiden goddess.

And these Silver Moon Knights, likewise following the goddess’s footsteps, are regarded as embodiments of purity and loyalty.

Isn’t it quite the coincidence?

Indeed.

The Silver Moon Knights mostly are Pure White Knights vowed to the Purity Oath.

No, why did you vow to this thing?
