Chapter 22: You Are Truly Despicable. What Do You Want to Do to Me?"
Approaching was a man who looked very ordinary in appearance.
Without a second thought, Loria threw an Insightful Perception, and concise personal information appeared before her eyes.
Name: Fane Everly
Gender: male
Age: 29 years old
[Occupation]: Secret Sect Assassin (F)
[Attributes]: Strength 11, Agility 21, Endurance 11, Intelligence 8, Spirit 7
Occupation: Assassin!Sure!
I knew that sneaky little rascal hiding behind wouldn't let me go, see, they're sending someone right away, right?
"In the previous simulation, I was delayed for quite some time at Guildmaster Adeline's house, and I might have just missed this assassin."
Although this assassin may not necessarily be stronger than her, the assassin's expertise has always been in something other than direct confrontation-
Surprise attack!
What kind of atrocity is it for a battle-hardened 29-year-old veteran assassin to sneak attack a pure-hearted 16-year-old girl?
Loria is glad that she didn't slack off and go home to rest, otherwise something big would have happened this time.
In reality, you can't simply restart like in a simulator.
In the game, she was being squeezed by Queen Slime until she pleaded for mercy, but in the next turn, she could retaliate and flatten Queen Slime.
But in reality, if she were really caught by Queen Slime, with her physique and Queen Slime's ongoing fighting ability, she would likely have her mind overheated and permanently damaged, with no chance of turning the tables.
Should she deceive the assassin and claim that her residence is elsewhere?
Loria thought for a moment and decided to give up.
Putting aside whether or not she could succeed in deceiving, even if she managed to do so, wouldn't it mean that innocent people would suffer in her place?
Miss Loria, who had a strong sense of justice, couldn't bear such a thing.
She pulled the hood covering her head and said, "I really don't know, I'm just an ordinary bystander."
Fane, the assassin, didn't continue to linger. After nodding his head, he walked out of the alley.
Loria stayed squatting in place for a moment, then carefully walked to a spot with a broad view where she could see her own home.
She immediately spotted Fane loitering at her doorstep.
Are you searching for a way to enter?
In the dark night, the streetlights dimmed, casting long and slender shadows, with only faint sounds of dogs barking echoing from afar.
Just as Fane was attempting to pry open the window, a shaky figure emerged from the road beside the apartment.
Loria recognized her, it was her old acquaintance, Grandma Lily, who lived nearby.
When she was little, Grandma Lily would often visit her at the orphanage.
After Grandma Lily joined the Adventurers Management Guild, she would warmly greet her every morning.
"Do you want to find Loria?"
Fane turned around, his face full of smiles. "Yes, I am Miss Loria's colleague, and I have something urgent to discuss with her."
Grandma Lily said, "Loria mentioned that she went to the detention center for something. If you are in a hurry to find her, how about I take you there?"
"Detention center?"
"Yes, come on, young boy, I will take you there."
"Will this be too much trouble?"
"Don't worry, don't worry. You are Loria's adorable colleague, and besides, I am also free with nothing to do right now."
"That is truly very kind of you."
In the moment Grandma Lily turned around, Fane found a knife in his hand.
Loria was shocked and turned pale.
Oh my goodness, you beast! How dare you harm an innocent old lady!
In that moment, even if she felt uneasy, Grandma Lily couldn't stay seated any longer. If she didn't go out now, she knew that Fane would kill her!
"Grandma Lily!"
When Loria walked out, she had already changed her clothes using the inventory.
In front of the apartment door, Grandma Lily and Fane both came to a stop.
Loria asked, "What's happening?"
Grandma Lily's eyelids twitched slightly as she exclaimed, "Why did you come back?"
Loria said, "I just met the guildmaster, and she said she will come over as a guest later, so I came back early to prepare."
Fane took a step forward and said, "Hello, Miss Loria."
"Who are you?"
"I am Lina from the Adventurers Management Guild."
"Adventurers Management Guild? I don't think I've seen you before."
"I have been working in the field department all along, so it's normal for Miss Loria to not have seen me. Actually, the reason I came today is to discuss some personal matters with Miss Loria."
"Oh, I see. Well… Grandma Lily,"
Loria couldn't help but look embarrassed.
The immediate task is to quickly divert Grandma Lily's attention, otherwise, if we delay for too long, Fane will definitely be unable to hold back and take direct action.
She didn't have the confidence to protect Grandma Lily from Fane, who moved at an incredibly fast speed.
"Very well, then you youngsters can chat away."
Grandma Lily shook her head and walked away, while Loria let out a sigh of relief.
No matter whether she chose to engage directly or continue with evasive tactics, she had a bottom line in mind.
"Wait a moment, I'll go open the door."
Loria's attention was completely focused on Fane's hand.
She was about to take out the keys when Fane suddenly said, "No need to bother. We've already spent enough time. Let's get straight to the point."
"Okay…"
Halfway through the conversation, Loria suddenly saw Fane slam a bottle onto the ground.
In an instant, a thick pink smoke rose, enveloping both of them.
This is… oh no… this thing must be poisonous…
Loria, after calculating and thinking through everything, couldn't have expected that the other person would launch a suicidal attack, leaving her with no chance to react.
"Ha ha ha," Fane chuckled in a hushed voice, laughing even more horrendously than a ghost. "If you're to blame, blame yourself for meddling in something you shouldn't have. Justice? What good is justice when the knight's code has long turned into a pile of useless paper!"
Loria felt her entire body burning up, and she angrily exclaimed, "You little brat, what do you think you're going to do to me?"
Fane's mouth slightly curved upwards, "Don't worry, this potion is different from what you imagine. It's a high-quality love potion that takes effect in just a few seconds."
"Love potion?"
Loria suddenly froze in place.
Fane smiled even more happily, "Do you think I have also been affected by the love potion and am unable to take you away? Well, you are completely wrong. This love potion only works on women and monster girls!"
Loria looked peculiar and, out of concern, she asked another question, "Um… Is it really just a love potion, without any other… substances mixed in?"
Fane said, "Don't worry, I have no intention of killing you. Even inferior monster girls can be sold for thousands of Oder coins. As a female knight like you, it should be at least five digits. Since you like justice, in the future, you should experience the feeling of embodying righteousness!"
Loria finally felt relieved.
If it was just a love potion, she wouldn't have to worry about finding an antidote.
But after feeling relieved, she became furious.
A number with five digits?
"Rubbish!" she exclaimed angrily.
As a righteous female knight who could single-handedly defeat a tribe of monster girls, not even a five-digit sum could buy my one leg!
As the aphrodisiac started to take effect, Loria's body grew hotter and hotter, and Fane's smile became brighter and brighter.
As soon as the girl's legs weakened, he would be able to take her away and bring her to the basement, where she would join the monster girls in undergoing training.
Here it comes, it's coming!
Ah, up, up, up!
At a certain moment, with a surge of warmth in her body, Loria discovered that her strength had unexpectedly increased a little.
The Heart of the Succubus is activated, granting a 10% increase to all attributes.
Taking into account the bonus from holding with both hands, at this moment her strength reached 15 points.
Right now.
Die!
Before Fane could react, a large sword appeared out of thin air in Loria's hand.
The big sword swung in a series of cuts.
The sword's light whistled through the air.
At that moment, Fane realized the danger, but despite his agility reaching an impressive score of 21, he was still unable to dodge in time.
Because he was too close to Loria, and he had been completely relaxed before this.
"Oh my goodness, why?"
Fane couldn't understand why Loria would take an aphrodisiac and be able to fight at the same time.
Bang!
With several swift strokes of the sword, he was struck by the unsharpened blade, resulting in multiple severely crushed bones throughout his body. Though he hadn't perished yet, he was not far from it.
"Huff, puff…"
Loria leaned on her sword with one hand, taking deep breaths.
No, it won't do. She is too excited right now, too excited indeed. She really wishes to wield her sword and chop something, anything.
How about turning this assassin into minced meat?
"Huff…"
Loria raised her sword, and at that moment, a greeting was suddenly heard from beside her.
"Are you okay?"
She lifted her head and discovered that standing before her was yet another "old acquaintance."
