Diary of Guarding Monster Girls

Chapter 987: Chapter 480: You Really Are Such a Good Person!!!

"Huh?"

Valentina, who was about to scrounge some food, blinked and noticed that Svanni seemed a little off.

It felt like she wasn’t very happy?

Miss Hungry Dragon blinked again and sniffed lightly to confirm her instincts were right.

Svanni was indeed a bit different from usual.

No, it’s not that she was unhappy.

It just seemed like her emotions were a bit complex?

What happened?

Svanni noticed the bizarre gaze behind her, turned around, nodded, and slowly said, "Valentina, you’re here. As expected, you noticed too?"

Hmm?

"What?"

Miss Hungry Dragon blinked blankly, scratching her head in confusion.

What are you talking about?

Noticed what?

What should I have noticed?

"You didn’t notice?"

"Notice what... oh!"

Suddenly, Valentina seemed to understand something, her eyes slowly widened.

"Ah! I got it!"

Could it be!!?

Could it be—

Because I ate too much last time?

Thinking about this possibility, Valentina’s expression immediately fell, lowering her head weakly, blinking sheepishly.

Oh no, is it because last time I came, I ate a tiny bit too much... did Svanni get mad?

What should I do now!

If I don’t have a place to scrounge food, then I... I... will be very hungry!

Valentina hesitated for a moment, then moved her lips under Svanni’s puzzled gaze, weakly saying, "Uh..."

"Well, um, Svanni... this time I’ll only eat a little, yes, really just a little bit, I definitely won’t eat much!"

"You believe me! I absolutely won’t eat much!"

Miss Hungry Dragon had already decided, this time she’d only eat until half-full, no, thirty percent full and stop eating.

What did Herbert say again?

Sustainable... sustainable something about rivers and fish?

Anyway, I can’t eat too much at once, or else they won’t let me come next time.

Eat modestly, be a little reserved, don’t go too far.

Faced with Valentina’s hard-earned great determination, Svanni’s brows furrowed even deeper.

"...Hmm?"

What nonsense are you talking about?

The Dark Elf’s train of thought wasn’t quite on the food-centric wavelength of Miss Hungry Dragon, but her level was much higher than Valentina’s.

She didn’t directly ask Valentina why she was going crazy here, but instead discreetly shook her head slowly: "It’s nothing, since you didn’t notice, then it’s fine."

Then she glanced up and down at the Dragon Lady who showed no terrifying aspect, pondering something, finally stopping at Valentina’s head, with a slight smile on her lips.

Svanni couldn’t help but shake her head in amusement and sighed, "Hehe, sometimes it’s nice not to know, being carefree is actually quite wonderful, isn’t it?"

"Eh?"

Valentina tilted her head in confusion, puzzled, "Hmm? Know what? Was I supposed to notice something?"

Just then, when Svanni’s "sympathetic" gaze lingered on her head, Valentina felt a strange sensation.

She vaguely sensed that a moment ago, she might have, probably, possibly, maybe... been pitied a bit?

Eh!!?

Why are you pitying me?

Is there something about me that deserves pity?

Valentina first looked down—same as always, unable to see her toes.

Then she reached her hands behind to feel her butt, and the stout dragon tail sticking out from it.

All my important strengths are still there!

Not understanding.

Valentina couldn’t figure out what about her needed pity...

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in her mind, and she thought of a perfectly reasonable explanation!

"Oh oh! I understand!"

She squinted her eyes, and her gaze towards Svanni began to slowly change.

—Becoming full of gratitude.

I know!

You must be pitying me because you saw I was hungry, right?

You’re really a kind person!

It must be that!

Valentina immediately convinced herself and showed an excited expression, moving over to grab Svanni’s hand and shake it up and down, loudly thanking:

"Svanni, thank you! You’re really a good person! I definitely won’t eat much this time!"

"???"

Being suddenly grabbed and thanked fervently, Svanni’s cold expression nearly cracked,

Is this right?

Oh, actually, it is right.

Very right.

Valentina, unlike someone dark and reclusive like herself, has always been such a naive and sunny person.

"Hah... ha, haha."

Svanni’s lips twitched repeatedly, unsure of what to say, gradually infected by Miss Hungry Dragon’s warm emotions, and joined in the laughter.

Although helpless, she indeed laughed out loud.

After a moment of light laughter, Svanni silently reached behind her, pressed down the mirror she had blocked, and covered the mirror surface.

Then she turned to smile at the uninvited and unaware guest: "Valentina, did you just wake up?"

"Just woke up!"

Seeing her guess "confirmed", Valentina confidently and energetically responded.

"I came to chat with you as soon as I woke up."

Then, feeling a little embarrassed, Valentina touched her stomach and chuckled awkwardly: "Hehe, well, I felt a bit hungry after waking up."

"Before we chat, can you let me eat something first, just a tiny bit."

"Hehehe..."

She chuckled awkwardly, playfully shaking the Dark Elf’s arm.
