"Hmm!?"

Herbert was taken aback by the blast of air, almost landing on his rear, and it took him a great deal of effort to steady himself.

"What... what just happened..."

He blinked blankly, unsure of what was going on inside.

What's the situation?

So much steam!

Who's boiling water?

What are you up to?

Are you trying to invent a steam engine or something?

Isn't that a time traveler's patent? How did you beat them to it... hmm?

Waving away the dense white steam in front of him, Herbert finally squeezed into the Disciplinary Hall and saw the true form of the "steam engine."

As expected, it was the two Legendary Monster Girls.

Valentina had indeed woken up, and Fremay had just bumped into her.

But contrary to what Herbert had imagined earlier, the two were not getting along peacefully.

At this moment, the two Monster Girls were glaring fiercely at each other, facing off without giving an inch.

Valentina: Ha!!!

Fremay: Hmph!!!

One was baring teeth, putting on an intimidating posture while exhaling strongly.

The other had a stern expression, scoffing with disdain.

The powerful aura radiating from both of them disturbed the water and fire elements within the Endless Maze.

The stimulated elements clashed between the two, transforming into high-temperature steam and spreading outwards with a mighty roll.

Where's the harmonious coexistence?

This is outright hostility!

Ugh, this is really bad.

The situation is rapidly descending towards the worst possible outcome!

Although Herbert loved watching women fight, pulling hair, ripping clothes... but he never wished for two women to fight because of him.

"No, it's not that bad yet, there's still room for reconciliation!"

Fortunately, he returned just in time; if they truly came to blows, it would be impossible to salvage the future.

Both are deeply cherished, and favoring one would only upset the other.

He had to step in and mediate before they really started fighting!

In just a few breaths as Herbert was deep in thought, the argument continued, and the situation was escalating rapidly.

Fremay said with a serious expression, "Valentina, I think you're wrong! I completely disagree with your view!"

Valentina, equally agitated, shouted in response, "What you said is wrong! Wrong, wrong!!!"

Herbert had no idea what they were arguing about, but it was clear he couldn't just sit back and do nothing.

No more waiting.

Time to act!

"Wait a minute! You two, don't argue anymore..."

Just as Herbert was about to step in to mediate, the content of their conversation brought him to an abrupt halt.

Hmm?

"I don't care! What you said is wrong!"

Valentina shook her head furiously, throwing a tantrum, and shouted, "What's interesting about a sleeping Herbert? It's the awake him that's adorable!"

"He can cook for me and play with me, that's the best!"

Upon hearing this, Fremay chuckled disdainfully and sneered, "Ha! How superficial! I think you're the one who understands nothing!"

"Though awake Herbert is charming, it's when he's asleep that he's the cutest!"

She became serious, her voice deep as she continued:

"Think about it, when a normally strong and capable young man reveals a defenseless sleepy face... don't you understand the temptation of such a sight!!?"

As she spoke, Fremay subconsciously licked her bright lips, letting out an involuntary slurp.

Sluuurp.

"Moreover, he sleeps very soundly; no matter what you do while he's asleep, he won't wake up!"

"I'm telling you, it's anything! Do you get it? Anything!!!"

The Sea Siren, full of fervor, was like an ardent preacher, eager for others to feel the excitement in her heart.

"So, I say that the sleeping Herbert is the most alluring!"

After hearing Fremay's description, Valentina furrowed her brow and tried hard to think, but... she couldn't quite grasp the possibility.

Miss Hungry Dragon tried earnestly to recall, and it seemed she had never seen Herbert's sleeping face at all.

Every time, she fell asleep earlier than Herbert and woke up later.

His sleeping face?

Hey, she really hadn't seen it.

But seeing Fremay so passionate, it didn't seem like she was faking it, nor was there a hint of deceit in her voice.

Could it be that what she's saying is true?

Although her intuition told Valentina that what Fremay said might indeed be the truth, her pride wouldn't allow her to agree so easily.

Valentina pouted and stubbornly said, "You, you might have a point... but I haven't seen it! I need to see it for myself to know you're not lying."

Yes!

Only after seeing it with my own eyes can I be sure you're not lying!

"Ha!"

Fremay patted her chest forcefully, earnestly promising, "Me, lie to you? Don't worry! I would never deceive you on something like this!"

"I'll tell you how to make him sleep, then you can see for yourself next time. By the way, he can now let his soul leave his body, which is even better; you can use that as an excuse..."

...

The two Monster Girls, too focused, didn't notice a third listener in the room.

"..."

Herbert's expression at that moment was quite spectacular.

His mind was full of question marks.

???

No, you two, what the hell are you arguing about!!?

I thought you were about to fight!

Turns out, it was actually about... tsk!

Can you argue over something serious?

And you, you shrimp-headed Sea Siren, what are you up to!?

One of you messing up is enough, don't lead others astray!

Although... Valentina herself is a sports enthusiast, no guidance needed from Fremay.

Getting Valentina to sleep is already a chore, don't make it harder.

At this moment, Herbert froze suddenly.

"Wait…"

He looked at Valentina, his eyes widening slightly.

Fire.

Then, he turned to Fremay.

Ice.

The two of them, one excels in breathing fire, the other masters Ice Magic.

Fire and ice.

Perhaps, there's another explanation.

And as he thought of this, Herbert suddenly felt enlightened.

Was the previous problem a problem if seen from another angle?

Destruction and creation, he couldn't find an answer or reach a conclusion.

But looking at Giant Dragon and Sea Siren, could he not distinguish them?

"Pfft, hahaha!"

Choose?

Choose what!

Need to make a choice?

Is it really necessary?

No!

Herbert was led astray by the Archbishop, unintentionally overthinking.

This world is not black and white.

Fire and ice… who says they can't coexist?

"Ha!"

In the chaos, Herbert suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, hahahahaha!"

He clutched his stomach, laughing so hard he felt tears coming out.

Choices?

Only children make choices.

But as an adult...

Of course, I want it all!

All of it!

I definitely want Valentina, and I can't pass on Fremay either!

No negotiation!

Destruction or creation, who says they can't coexist?

In this world, who isn't multifaceted?

Even gods aren't exempt, how could a mere mortal like him be an exception?

He can't, and doesn't need to be.

After completely figuring this out, Herbert felt completely clear.

Meanwhile, Herbert's bizarre laughing finally startled the two Monster Girls "confronting" over there.

And both of them were taken aback, staring at him with strange eyes.

What's wrong with this guy?

Why did he suddenly start laughing maniacally?

Fremay and Valentina blinked, exchanging a silent glance.

'Um… what's wrong with him?'

'No idea, is he triggered?'

'Is it because we were arguing?'

'Maybe?'

Both felt a bit guilty, thinking they made Herbert misunderstand, almost driving him crazy.

"Herbert, um…"

"We weren't actually arguing…"

And as they carefully prepared to explain, Herbert shouted amidst his laughter.

"Haha! Yes, I want it all! Haha…"

Valentina: ?

Fremay: ?

No.

You rascal, quite cocky, huh!

Their eyes met, both seeing the displeasure in each other's eyes and snorted simultaneously.

"Heh."

"Hmph!"

You think we'll obediently obey?

No! Way!
