Chapter 24: I Am Not That Kind of Person!
"Guildmaster?"
Loria was greatly surprised.
She never expected Guildmaster Adeline to suddenly appear here.
Adeline's expression remained as cold as ever.
"Before, I misunderstood you. It's my responsibility to investigate this matter. For now, please come back with me."
"Great!"
Loria nodded quickly.
To be honest, she is very tired now. It's not a tiredness caused by a love potion, but rather a tiredness of the heart.
She had been struggling at the knight training school for five years, all for the sake of living a peaceful and tranquil life, isn't it?
But who would have thought that right after obtaining the position she had been longing for, she hadn't even enjoyed it for a few days before she got entangled in two major cases one after another.
"This is too much!" exclaimed she in disbelief.
"Isn't this like someone whipping my bottom from behind?"
Loria was very unhappy.
Although she had a masochistic disposition that could find excitement in such torment, this wasn't actually getting whipped, so no matter how she thought about it, it was impossible for her to feel any excitement!
Fortunately, after experiencing some twists and turns, she successfully entered Guildmaster Adeline's house.
This gave Loria a little more confidence.
Stepping back for a moment, even if she fails to uncover the mastermind behind the monster wave and the big boss behind the bawdyhouse, she can still follow the strategies provided by the emulator and become Guildmaster Adeline's wife!
Being a captive noble lady bird was indeed unpleasant, but it was still better than being engulfed by the monster wave or being sold into slavery.
After all, the guildmaster's appearance did match her aesthetic preferences quite well.
Moreover…
"As long as I disguise myself well, I can occasionally go outside and find cute monster girls to enjoy wild game, just like in the simulation."
Loria's eyes sparkled with stars.
As a child, she dreamt of becoming a great demon king who would rule the world.
Unable to become a great demon king, it would be nice to become a great wanderer among countless monster girls.
Guildmaster, no matter why you suddenly came here, I love you so much!
If it weren't for Vita watching nearby, Loria would have wanted to rush into Guildmaster Adeline's arms and shout "scared" directly.
But just as she was dragging her suitcase and preparing to move forward, Vita suddenly stepped forward and blocked her path.
"Isn't it strange?"
"Strange?"
"The guildmaster of the Adventurers Management Guild doesn't usually stay at the guild or their own home, instead they came to the residential area, something doesn't seem right."
Vita pushed her red-framed glasses.
Adeline shot her a sideways glance, "The Oder Travel Newspaper's journalist from the porn industry section wasn't observing the bawdyhouses at this hour, instead she went to the residential area. It seemed even stranger."
Vita huffed, "Can't I go for a walk at night when I can't sleep?"
Adeline said, "Then you can keep on taking your walk, Loria, come with me."
"Oh."
Loria gestured as if about to step forward.
"No," Vita declared, extending her arms. "Let's be honest, I suspect you have something to do with this assassin!"
Adeline silently watched Vita.
However, the sight of the tightly restrained chest, still at least an E cup, was overwhelming.
After a long while, she spoke, "Am I involved with this assassin? I believe Loria must know much more than you, but as for you… I will investigate later. If evidence suggests that you are connected to this assassin, I won't let you off the hook, even if you are from the Oder Travel Newspaper."
She skirted around Vita and took the initiative to pick up Loria's suitcase and the bound assassin Fane.
Loria thanked Vita and then hurriedly chased after her.
"Miss Loria," Vita exclaimed, "you don't have to be afraid of her using her position to oppress you. I am a journalist, and you can confide in me about anything difficult to say. I will make sure justice is served for you!"
Loria smiled brightly and said, "Miss Vita, you can rest assured, the guildmaster is a kind person."
The expression beneath the smile was one of disdain.
Still seeking justice for me, without knowing who had punished me twice in the simulation,
Crawl, you wretched woman, don't interrupt my intimacy with Guildmaster Adeline!
After walking a long way, Adeline suddenly asked, "Do you want to believe what I say, or believe what that journalist says?"
Loria replied decisively, "Of course, it's you, guildmaster!"
Adeline blinked in surprise.
"So sure, without thinking twice?"
It would be strange to think more about it, wouldn't it?
In the simulation, I cheated hundreds of times and you never doubted me. I don't believe you would actually believe that Vita, who punished me before.
Of course, Loria couldn't say such things directly.
"The guildmaster is a kind person, and everyone in the guild can see that. Moreover, the guildmaster must believe what I said, which is why they came to my house specially."
Adeline remained noncommittal.
Twenty minutes later, Loria arrived at Guildmaster Adeline's house successfully.
"Shouldn't we send this assassin to the jail?"
Guildmaster Adeline said, "I have seen this person before."
"Huh?"
"In the jail, he talked to the warden."
Loria's face slightly changed, and she asked the guildmaster, "What do you mean?"
"After the newly appointed mayor took office, several surprise inspections were conducted on the red-light district every year. However, that particular bawdyhouse managed to evade any trouble for a long time, suggesting that they had someone on the inside at the police station."
"!"
"You don't need to worry about this matter. Leave it to me, and I will take care of it."
Adeline Adeline took out a bottle of medicine from the cupboard and handed it to Loria Loria.
"What is this?"
"After drinking it, your body will feel better. If you're really uncomfortable, you can use this to temporarily solve the problem."
Adeline Adeline took out a stick that was as long as her arm and said,
"…"
Loria was confused.
Adeline's expression remained unchanged, "As a grown woman, it's not unusual for my family to have these things, right?"
"Yes, indeed," she replied.
Loria remembered that Guildmaster Adeline was tired… no, she had a tragic ending, succumbing to illness.
Guildmaster Adeline said she didn't like her, but she indeed needed a companion.
"This is unnecessary."
Loria quickly shook her head.
Adeline said, "As you wish."
Loria finished her medicine, took a bath, and then went to her room to rest.
At least for now, she is safe.
As for the future, it all depends on what this time's simulation brings.
Although Guildmaster Adeline told her not to worry about this matter, she couldn't ignore her role in the simulation, and if necessary, even use herself as bait to lure those people.
At midnight, twelve o'clock.
"The simulation is coming, and from now on, I will refuse anything unpleasant…"
After silently reciting her vow of abstinence from inappropriate behavior several times, Loria immediately opened the simulator.
[The Life Simulator has been activated.]
[Day 1: Guildmaster Adeline was worried that you were harmed by a love potion, so she took you to the hospital for an examination. The doctor said you were excessively healthy, with not a trace of love potion residue in your body.]
[In the afternoon, Vita came to the Adventurers Management Guild for a visit. She specifically requested you to show her around the guild, but Guildmaster Adeline declined.]
[Day 2: Vita secretly found you and said that she was more interested in covering a case of slave trafficking than exploring the red-light district of Creek Town. She asked if you could grant her an interview, and you agreed.]
[You told Vita that the culprit was likely being protected by powerful individuals. Vita said she would conduct a thorough investigation through her connections with the mayor.]
[Day 3: Guildmaster Adeline told you that the investigation had made no progress. You comforted her, telling her not to worry.]
[In the afternoon, as per the agreed time, you went to the red-light district to meet with Vita. While you were waiting, a stranger approached you and advised you to stop the investigation. They placed a box in front of you.]
[You cast a disdainful glance at him, crossing your arms and saying, "I'm sorry, but the education I received since I was young doesn't support me doing such things. You have mistaken me for someone else."]
[The stranger stood up, hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Then we'll have to use a special move!"]
