Chapter 31: I Am Not a Demon, at Most I Can Be Called an Enchanting Creature!
"Ha, ah, ah!" (＃>д
The sound in the room was somewhat unpleasant to hear.
The originally icy air became scorching under the accompaniment of the sound.
Adeline's gaze wandered between Loria and the half-closed door. After a while, she thought Loria had done fairly well.
The goodness of good people should never be used on bad people!
"If my friend gets kidnapped and abused, I would surely be even more cruel than her."
The only problem was that Adeline found herself without any friends.
This wasn't a big deal. Over the years, she had already grown accustomed to living alone.
She was only confused about one thing now-
Why does Loria have a love potion in her hands?!
As for Loria's ability to produce things out of thin air, it wasn't really surprising. The Adventurers Management Guild had magical items for sale that could temporarily store items.
When adventurers go out on adventures, if they don't have these magical items that can store things, each of them would have to transform into "beasts of burden" and carry the spoils of war everywhere, which is clearly inconvenient.
Adeline stared at the potion that had fallen into the corner of the wall.
She simply couldn't associate Loria, a good girl, with the concept of a love potion.
After everything here is settled, they will go and ask later. They came here today not just to kill, but also to save.
"I will help you."
Adeline stepped forward to help Loria in releasing the "slaves" who were bound or locked in cages.
This was a chilling experience.
The "slaves" who were beaten and left hanging on the wall, missing arms and legs, waiting to die, were already very miserable. The other "slaves" were not doing any better.
Loria walked all the way and never encountered a person or monster girl who was not injured.
The once adorable slime girl became thin and frail like a stick due to the excessive loss of slime.
The enchanting Tuntun Flower Girl had her big red flower on top of her head, which was meant to attract companions, completely plucked away, and an ugly gap appeared.
Loria, filled with anger, couldn't contain herself.
In a confinement cell near the execution room, she found the missing female healing wizard and her old classmate Cathy, whom she hadn't seen in over a month.
The female healing wizard's condition was barely passable, which may have had something to do with her recent capture.
But Cathy's condition was quite dire.
She sat in the corner, curled up into a ball. Even when Loria reached out to pat her back, there was little response.
"Her eyes had lost their sparkle," Adeline whispered.
Loria nodded in agreement.
Cathy was bright and cheerful, always optimistic and filled with imagination for the future. But now, she had transformed into what she is today, and it was hard for her to imagine what Cathy had been through these days.
She gritted her teeth.
"Fortunately, I arrived early; otherwise, more girls chasing their dreams would have been subjected to persecution."
Loria could hardly imagine what would happen if everyone in Creek Town remained as passive as her. Creek Town would probably be completely destroyed by the monsters.
She carried Cathy outside.
At that moment, the butcher and the deputy director had already finished their task.
The aphrodisiac they consumed was powerful enough to keep them energetically fighting all day without feeling tired.
But the problem was that both of them were severely injured. The butcher had lost one hand and all his teeth had fallen out, whereas the deputy director had all his limbs shattered.
How could a frail body endure for long?
All in all, this was a one-sided charge by the rough butcher against the deputy director!
Even after taking a miraculous potion that could make people feel joyful, the deputy director was still tormented and became unrecognizable.
But the butcher fared even worse. His hands were already bleeding, and with the vigorous movements, the bleeding couldn't be contained.
And so it was.
Watching as his blood sprayed more and more, hearing the deputy director's increasingly hoarse screams, the butcher was tightly bound by a thick, soil-like fear.
He died.
Not because he lost too much blood, but because he was scared to death.
When Loria saw him again, she noticed that his face was twisted, his eyes bulging out, and his mouth wide open, just like the people who died after watching the videotape of Sadako.
"This kind of death is too kind to you."
She turned around, and the deputy director who was lying on the ground immediately lifted his head.
"Demon, you wicked demon, stay away, stay away oh no no no, you're going to kill me, kill… no, please don't kill me…"
He babbled incoherently, his whole body seemingly trapped in a daze, and by the end, he couldn't even speak clearly anymore.
"Demon?"
I can at most be considered a seductive creature among humans, but I am far from being a true demon like you!
Loria stepped forward and, with great care, crushed the deputy director's finger and toe bones.
"Don't worry, you won't die so easily. You must go through the judgment of everyone in Creek Town before you can die. And in this process, you won't get any kindness!"
She smiled and patted the deputy director's head playfully.
Before long, someone heard the sound and rushed over. Following Loria's suggestion, Guildmaster Adeline only informed a few people known for being reliable to come and help.
For no particular reason, Loria wished to secretly send Cathy, a victim like her, back home.
Next, a storm of public opinion would surely sweep through Creek Town. She hoped that Cathy and the other victims could temporarily escape from the storm.
The experiences here were already indelible traumas, and if they were to be attacked again by well-intentioned people with strange looks and words, it would be too tragic.
Everything went smoothly.
Once all the victims who could find shelter were sent back, the director of the detention center and the mayor hurriedly arrived.
The mayor's mouth was almost twisted in anger, and if it weren't for the director stopping him, he would have stomped the deputy director right then and there.
"Red-Light District, Creek Town's red-light district's reputation has been completely ruined by all of you. Once this news gets out, there will surely be many adventurers who will have prejudice against Creek Town. You have destroyed a great situation!"
After the commotion, the mayor praised Loria and Adeline wholeheartedly.
Loria's response to this was rather indifferent, as she only wished to see something real.
Fortunately, in the end, the mayor finally showed sincerity-
There is a reward, a great reward, and it will be given in front of everyone, but we have to wait until tomorrow.
With that, Loria felt relieved.
"Money and such are not important, what matters is serving Creek Town. As a member of the Adventurers Management Guild, it is my duty to do so, and without Guildmaster Adeline, I wouldn't be able to accomplish all of this."
She shyly glanced at Adeline.
Adeline shook her head, saying, "This time, thanks to Loria."
When the crowd walked out of the slaughterhouse, there were already many people gathered outside.
There were excited residents, angry adventurers, and hurriedly arriving journalists.
"Everyone, please make way, make way. The specific news will be announced tomorrow."
The mayor led the way in front, struggling to squeeze out from the crowd.
Loria, who was walking alongside Adeline, almost got lost amidst the repeated calls of "heroic knight".
In the crowd, she also caught sight of a familiar face-
Yukihime, the Magical Girl!
After Loria, Adeline, and Vita gave a brief report in the mayor's office, Loria finally obtained her freedom.
She went home first and visited Cathy, who had just been sent back. She also thanked Grandma Lily for speaking up for her last night.
"That slave trading organization has been completely wiped out, and everything will be alright!"
At six o'clock in the evening, Loria returned to Guildmaster Adeline's house.
After holding it in all afternoon, Adeline couldn't help but ask, "Loria, how did you end up carrying a love potion?"
Loria's face immediately fell. She said, "To be honest, Guildmaster, I wanted to develop resistance against love potions!"
"Developed resistance to love potions?"
"After drinking the magic potion, I used my strong willpower to overcome the negative effects it had on my body. From that day on, whenever I encountered such despicable opponents, I would never be defeated and captured again!"
Adeline believed in it.
After all, this was the same Loria who possessed great righteousness and dared to confront evil forces. How could she possibly be a pervert!
"Training the willpower requires practice, not taking a love potion. How about this? Once this storm settles, I will teach you the skill of patience."
Loria quickly said, "Thank you, guildmaster."
Adeline smiled and nodded.
Loria turned around and went back to her bedroom.
Since the matter had been resolved, it was time for her to go back to her own home. It was a bit inconvenient to stay with Guildmaster Adeline.
But as she was packing her bags, she suddenly discovered something unfortunate.
"Why hasn't the 'Shadow of the Red-Light District' incident been resolved yet?"
As soon as Loria thought about the possibility of being blown up by a magical bomb that could suddenly appear by the roadside, she stopped tidying up her things. Instead, she jumped onto the bed and wrapped herself up like a rice dumpling with a blanket.
I won't go back.
Even if Adeline were to punish her, she still wouldn't go back!
To Loria's surprise, Guildmaster Adeline had no intention of sending her away.
She waited like this, all the way until midnight, and then began a new simulation.
