Diary of Guarding Monster Girls

Chapter 879 - 440: Cold Winter Goddess’s Decision

No matter who you are!

I, the great [Holy Tree Guardian], will definitely make you look good!

...

Regardless of what the resident and part-time bodyguard on the tree thought, the slowly moving Holy Tree never reacted at all.

The Holy Tree remained silent, only ceaselessly moving.

Silently advancing towards Elda, constantly approaching.

Moreover, as time went by, its speed became faster and faster.

By the time the resident on the tree noticed the issue, it had already pulled its roots from the soil, moving forward like a giant crab with dozens of legs.

Its speed changed from moving one meter in ten minutes to moving ten meters in one minute!

It seemed to still be moving like a slow snail, but in fact, its speed had increased to a hundred times the original!

If you still think it’s slow... then let me ask you!

Have you seen any tree that can move at such a speed?

This is already the speedster among trees!

A hundred meters in just ten minutes!

If this isn’t a speedster, what is it?

A flying tree?

As the Holy Tree’s speed increased and actions became larger, other entities in the mist began to subtly notice changes.

The Mist Mountain Range had been silent for too long, especially deep within, where even after thousands of years, little changed.

Any slight change could draw everyone’s attention.

In the mist, some previously shut eyes looked over, wanting to understand what was happening.

Then...

They were glared back by the snow-white figure leaping out from the tree crown.

"What do you want to do!!?"

"Keep looking! Keep looking and I’ll bite you to death!"

Hearing its threat, some in the mist closed their eyes again, unwilling to provoke that fellow.

Although it wasn’t extremely strong, under the blessing of that big tree, it was definitely not easy to deal with, so no need to clash with it.

Besides, it seemed their direction was outward, not into the inner circle to contest for better territory.

Since it voluntarily gave up its original position, just let it leave; they cared more about how to divide the leftover territory.

Meanwhile, some entities did not avert their gaze, continuing to watch them with uncertain eyes.

These guys smelled something different.

They were curious.

What exactly could attract that Guardian, making it willing to abandon a hard-won position?

However, they were mistaken about one thing.

It wasn’t the Guardian choosing to move, but the Holy Tree making its own choice.

And why it did this, presumably no one understood.

.

.

Elda Territory.

"Why did it do this?"

Yunier sat on the newly constructed rooftop, with elbows resting on clasped knees and hands holding his cheeks, staring blankly at the sky, emptying his mind.

"Why? Why did it suddenly become interested in this place?"

"No, rather, why does it only react in this place?"

"Master of Nature, what did you discover?"

"Herbert? Or... is there something here that attracts you?"

Thoughts surged in Yunier’s, or rather Cold Winter Goddess’s, mind for a long time before finally lightly sighing.

"Sigh!"

Other residents passed by, noticing "Yunier’s" action without surprise, nodding with a smile and moving on.

It’s not uncommon for the girl to be dazed here, especially recently when she often sneaked out to daze.

What’s on the girl’s mind...?

Was she scolded by the leader? Or does she find life here too boring?

Or... is the little girl lovesick?

The gossip-minded villagers always thought so irresponsibly.

Elda’s population is small, so when they chatted privately, true and false information spread like this.

It’s like the neighborhood gossip coalition by the village entrance, always wanting to know what’s happening in the neighbors’ lives — really bored all day needing something to do.

Whether sharing information, making stuff up, or baseless speculation, often it’s not out of genuine malice, but rather a desire for fun due to boredom.

Simply put, just enjoying the drama.

Please, give us more amusement.

We’re too bored, we want to see a bloodbath!

As for the rumored love interest of the girl, excluding the few male Gray Dwarves in the territory, naturally, it’s only that man.

The enigmatic lord.

Compared to those unattractive, disheveled, bearded Gray Dwarves who spend all day in the forge, surely the handsome and noble lord fits better.

Whether in height and looks or status and power, he’s the silk robe.

It’s dimensional suppression indeed.

If the girl fell for such an existence... they thought it would be quite normal.

Hmm hmm, she’s after his body...

Of course, it’s understandable!

A common human sentiment!

Seeing Lord Herbert, anyone not tempted would have issues.

Who wouldn’t want him?

He not only looks good but even smells inviting!

No one knows what fragrance he uses daily that always piques their interest...

However, these seemingly young Elf Priests but truly aged are much more rational than real young girls.
