Diary of Guarding Monster Girls

Chapter 884 - 442: The Little Kitten Opens the Door to a New World!

"..."

The brain of the Cold Winter Goddess froze.

After a while, she slowly came back to her senses, blinking her eyes.

"I just now..."

She gradually recalled the vaguely seen scene, and her mouth twitched.

Huh?

Who am I? Where am I? What will I eat tonight?

I...

The small cat tilted its head, raising a paw to scratch its head.

Hiss!

I just now seemed to be in contact with Herbert, right?

It was him, wasn’t it!!?

But, why were there so many people in that scene?

Him, her, and her... uh, and were there any others?

Hecayas furrowed her brows in confusion, trying to recall, and then—failed to recall.

Can’t remember!

Couldn’t see clearly at all, was it three? Or four?

Always felt like there were a lot of people.

Never mind, that’s not important.

What’s important is...

I, I just now, what did I see?

"Herbert seemed like he was... fighting with them?"

In the depths of the ice and snow in the Far North, a small, snow-white cat lay on a large snow pine branch, tucking its front paws beneath itself.

The fluffy fur was like a piece of white bread blooming on the snow pine when viewed from a distance.

And now the "confused white bread" was pondering the questions in its mind.

"But, fighting is one thing, why weren’t they wearing clothes?"

The Goddess was puzzled.

"Oh, no wait! It seems like they were wearing long socks? Both black and white ones, and someone only half took them off?"

The small cat continued to be confused.

"But those socks already had several holes in them, why not take them off?"

The white bread was utterly puzzled.

"..."

After thinking for a long time, she finally came to a conclusion—to give up thinking.

This isn’t a domain I’ve ever ventured into, any past knowledge isn’t even slightly relevant!

I’m just a little kitty.

I truly know nothing...

Perhaps outsiders, knowing the inner thoughts of the Ice and Snow Goddess, would look at her with disdain, thinking she was pretending.

But in truth, she was not lying.

Hecayas truly knew nothing.

Why were they stacked together, she really couldn’t understand!

In fact, all these years, this little cat goddess always had a wrong perception of herself.

All along, she held a tiny doubt whether the Cold Winter Goddess was truly superior to her "as a Divine."

She always felt that she was quite competent as a Goddess.

Having a church that listened to her, revered by believers.

Though the church is somewhat small, it is, after all, a proper Divine Church!

The Ice and Snow Goddess’s self-perception was incorrect.

A huge mistake.

To the extent of having almost no correct understanding.

It belongs to the self-confident but clueless type - a very purely simple-minded one.

Could that really be called the "Ice and Snow Goddess Church"?

To those aware of the inside story, it was nothing more than the "Cold Winter Goddess’s beloved little kitty fan club."

Most priests were trying to save themselves through a detour, aiming to enter the Cold Winter Church through this layer of experience.

True believers and priests of the Ice and Snow Goddess can’t be said to be none, but really, there were not many.

Even if there were, those believers mostly treated their Goddess with the utmost gentleness, or even affection.

Sigh, just pamper her; what else could be done?

They commonly believe that their Goddess is just an undeveloped child, or a kitty still youthful in nature.

Free, casual, unrestrained... really just like a cat.

But Hecayas never felt that there was anything wrong with her behavior.

Is there anything wrong with me wandering?

What about me leaving the church to its own devices?

Is there something wrong with not responding to believers’ prayers?

I am a Goddess!

A mighty Divine, oh!

Divine beings are meant to be unrestrained, aren’t they?

The Divine should be the freest existence in the world, right!

Hecayas was quite stubborn, firmly refusing to admit her dereliction as a Goddess.

Though her words were not entirely incorrect, they were at most only half right.

The Divine is free, that much is true.

But she missed a pre-condition.

Only "sufficiently powerful" Divines can truly enjoy this freedom.

When you feel life is calm and good, it’s certainly because someone is bearing the weight for you.

The Ice and Snow Goddess could maintain that "childlike innocence" only because the Cold Winter Goddess kept all dangers out of her sight.

Any factor that might harm her was entirely eradicated beforehand.

For example, right now.

Hecayas thought that, even leaning on selling cuteness to hang around the Natural Pantheon, she was also a proper Divine that had endured through long ages.

This Goddess has also wandered the Mortal Realm for quite some time, having seen all the beings.

What haven’t I witnessed?

Ah?!

What haven’t I... ugh.

"Grumble."

That scene just now, I really hadn’t seen before.

Logically, if the Ice and Snow Goddess truly "freely" wandered the Mortal Realm, she must have seen or even participated in such scenes long ago.

The parties of the fallen who worship the Evil God are much more explicit and open, employing all sorts of tools without any constraint.

Or not being so extreme, even the noble silver parties of the God of Love’s followers are much more provocative than this.

Even taking a step back, Divine Spirits of the Natural Pantheon do not shy away from acts of reproduction and breeding.

Some Divine teachings even advocate for large-scale festivals involving numerous participants.
