Diary of Guarding Monster Girls-Chapter 536 - 322 Hungry Dragon’s Foraging Adventure (5.2K, First Update)
Valentina woke up.
This isn’t really a problem, even though Herbert isn’t around, at certain times she can be likened to a big husky, but she doesn’t have a habit of demolishing homes.
The problem is she’s... hungry.
This actually isn’t a big problem either. As long as she gets full, without finding "after-meal dessert Herbert," she’ll go back to sleep again.
The bigger problem is — the kind-hearted people willing to provide her food aren’t home either!
After using the "Sage" guidance to open the door to the Prison of Darkness, Valentina’s pouting mouth puckered even higher.
Oh no, the chef isn’t home!
"Svanni’s not here, and that vampire isn’t here either."
Valentina wasn’t familiar with Eliza, having only a vague impression of her sticking her butt out towards the outside.
"Oh right, Herbert seemed to say he’s taking them both out this time."
She could actually take action against that treehouse; for some reason, she always felt she could take a few bites.
But since Svanni was a good person who gave her food, their relationship was good enough that it was really inconvenient to bite.
Although Valentina was hungry, the situation hadn’t gotten that bad, not enough to attack someone else’s house... she decided to hold off!
After wandering around the Prison of Darkness and even rummaging through that Black Iron Coffin, still coming up empty-handed, Valentina had to head home.
She clutched her stomach, thought for a while, and turned to open another door.
Click.
"Fremay — do you have anything to eat here?"
Upon entering, Valentina cried out mournfully, hoping the mermaid could share some treats.
"Huh?"
As a result, Valentina came too suddenly, startling the mermaid who was adjusting the Alchemy Legs.
In a panic, the legs slipped from her hands.
Whoosh—
The white Alchemy Long Legs drew a graceful arc in the air, flew past Miss Hungry Dragon, and landed in the water.
Plop.
Valentina’s eyes automatically followed those two legs as they plunged into the water with a splash.
Gulp.
"You came so suddenly and didn’t even give a heads-up; scared me a lot."
Fremay regained her composure, pouting towards the intruder while complaining and controlling the water flow to retrieve the Alchemy Legs.
Valentina’s eyes were still following those legs as she absently replied, "Oh, sorry, I’m here just looking for food... do you have any?"
"Food? I don’t have any here."
Fremay thought for a moment and helplessly shook her head, showing her inability to help.
She herself didn’t have much need for food; even in the sea, she only ate a little of the rare fish she liked, and she ate very little.
After advancing to Legendary, she could survive on magic power alone and had long gotten used to a diet not supplemented by food.
However, Fremay didn’t directly criticize Valentina for being greedy, after all, people’s constitutions are different.
Maybe Valentina wasn’t just greedy, but genuinely hungry.
She pondered, and in the end, attempted to help: "Do you drink water? How about having some?"
Want some water?
Not filling, but could relieve hunger slightly.
"... "
Valentina silently shook her head; just drinking water wouldn’t satisfy her hunger, and would instead make her feel emptier.
Miss Hungry Dragon hesitated a moment, then felt it might be offensive, so she kept her attitude low and rather humbly asked:
"Uh, Fremay, can we discuss something?"
Fremay did not think much and replied easily: "What? As long as I can do it, I’ll try to help."
They had fought side-by-side before, and with Herbert’s relationship, Fremay was still willing to get along well with Valentina.
Then, the innocent mermaid heard the most ridiculous "humble request" in her life.
"Um, can I have one of your legs?"
???
Fremay widened her eyes, looked at Valentina, and then at the Alchemy Legs in her hands, finally realizing Miss Hungry Dragon’s gaze had been fixed... there!!?
No, sister!!? 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
God damn it, give you one!
The usually good-tempered mermaid couldn’t help but laugh angrily at such an absurd request, cringing as she gritted her teeth: "Give you one? Heh, why don’t you take both?"
What are you even thinking?
"Eh! Really can do that?"
Valentina blinked with surprise and carefully asked, "Can I really take both?"
"Of course not!"
Fremay shouted, then sighed deeply, unable to get angry at such a nature.
Valentina reluctantly withdrew her gaze and obediently said: "...Oh, alright."
Seeing Miss Hungry Dragon so docile, Fremay didn’t get angry but shook her head in disbelief, unable to help sighing: "What are you thinking, really..."
You’re really... quite a genius.
"You’d better look for someone else; maybe they have some food... oh, and don’t go to the fifth level alone."
Fremay paused, then said seriously: "If you must go, take me with you, with the two of us there shouldn’t be any danger."
"Oh! Okay."
Valentina nodded obediently, looked at the mermaid, and suddenly laughed: "Fremay, you’re really nice!"
"I’m off first! I’ll come back for a chat after I’m full!"
Valentina waved, happily turning around and walking out, just as abruptly as she had arrived.
Click.
"She’s gone already?"
