So that’s how it is~”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After learning why Herbert was stunned, Nenasha sighed with a touch of wonder: 【“You humans don’t even spare fish? You’re truly not picky!”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hold on, don’t generalize!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert protested against her sweeping accusation: “He’s the one who’s not picky—not everyone is!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not everyone eats XX.JPG\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not all XX people do XX.JPG\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t condemn everyone with one brush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Hmph.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nenasha sneered, ignoring his protest, and retorted: 【“Aren’t you just as undiscriminating?

Am I chasing some taboo, perverse feeling?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert snorted, utterly unbothered by the hypocrisy, and declared plainly: “I like their appearance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m done pretending. I’m owning it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just like pretty ones!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m a barbarian!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t fancy every monster or alien—if one’s ugly, I won’t even glance twice!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Really?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Absolutely true!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Then tell me—if a monster had a soft, fluffy tail, would you like it?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...That’s a bonus. Uh, that’s separate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Hmph. No wonder I chose you as an ally—your shamelessness delights me.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert paid no mind to Nenasha’s sarcastic jab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was simply how things were—context matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What universal formula could fit every situation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But then—if he wasn’t influenced by you, was he truly self-corrupted?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having experienced Nenasha’s influence, he’d automatically assumed every act of desecration in the Mist Monastery was her doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, he’d viewed the fallen one as a pitiful soul misled by a demon god into desecrating carp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His repeated leniency toward him had stemmed partly from sympathy—a fellow traveler, not to be harshly judged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, looking back… hey!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re not even on my side!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So… does he really like fish?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm.

Since you still won’t see me, I’ll come again next time.” Herbert shook his head, declaring another failed exploration of the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert had walked for a long time, endlessly circling the vampire, unable to find the path to the next zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, Svan Ni  had not altered the ground—but had successfully hidden herself beyond the paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he never got lost, he still needed a path beneath his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nenasha, can you locate her position?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Can’t~ I’m still too weak!”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever. Let’s check if the vampire girl has calmed down, then go chat with the Hungry Dragon Miss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert turned to leave when the demon god, who had just been acting cute and clueless, suddenly made a soft sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Oh?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert grumbled: “What now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“I mean… the fallen one you mentioned—is he covered in slime, reeking of fish?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Probably. That’s the vibe… huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert’s eyes snapped wide open as he turned back toward the seemingly ordinary darkness behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Yes~ He’s rushing toward you right now.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the—!!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re really going to attack me?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You followed me here?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t come near me—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you to the anonymous ramen donor\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tomorrow at midnight, I’m entering the second round of recommendations—I’m so nervous so nervous so nervous—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weather’s cooling down, stay warm—I caught a cold again, ugh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: If any bigwigs want to tip or vote, wait until the day after tomorrow at midnight (Monday 0:00).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s when the weekly new book rankings reset—tips then might boost my ranking higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Love you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1017,"2026-06-20T12:31:06.198Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","efa22cf3c4c45456357855ddc6e417c16d77c413a9995d84e20bec02d578fe8e","an-improper-monster-girl-s-transformation-diary-chapter-45","an-improper-monster-girl-s-transformation-diary-chapter-43",453,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fan-improper-monster-girl-s-transformation-diary-cover.jpg"]
