Chapter 34: Detective Loria, At Your Service!
The following events unfolded without any twists. The words on the pages present the everyday life of Loria and Guildmaster Adeline, filled with love and affection.
Just simple words, yet they made Loria feel like her soul had been purified.
For example-
On the 50th day, Loria went to the Hero Cemetery with Guildmaster Adeline. The glow of the setting sun bathed the cemetery, like the heroic blood shed by the fallen warriors.
On the 51st day, Loria and Guildmaster Adeline went to the fancy hotel they had visited before, feeling clumsy like newly blossomed young girls.
On the 52nd day, Loria went to the Evergreen Park to relax with Guildmaster Adeline, where they witnessed someone proposing marriage.
"Oh, guildmaster, my guildmaster."
Loria was so touched that she almost cried.
She even found herself standing in front of Guildmaster Adeline's door, intending to burst in and confess her feelings to Guildmaster Adeline without even realizing it.
But if she were to rush over at this moment, wouldn't she definitely be considered a weirdo and be chased away?
She was already strange enough in the simulator, so in reality, she should be a bit more calm!
Loria calmed down her excited emotions and sat on the ground, continuing to flip through the simulated content.
When the simulated time reached the 61st day, as she and Guildmaster Adeline got married, this simulation officially came to an end.
[Achieved Ending: Living Happily Ever After with the Guildmaster IV]
[Congratulations to the player for achieving the accomplishment "Cursed Enchantress" and receiving an additional reward. Charisma +1.]
[Congratulations to the player on achieving the accomplishment "Turning Over a New Leaf" and receiving an extra reward. Intelligence +1.]
[Congratulations to the player for receiving a D-grade evaluation and earning a reward, "Rallying Together."]
The simulated outcome was unsatisfactory.
Long ago, when Loria first started her journey, her intention was to deliberately act recklessly, in order to lure out the people associated with the shadow of the red-light district incident to come and try to harm her.
But even as Creek Town crumbled beneath the onslaught of monsters, that person never appeared.
"Is it because I have too many people around me?"
Loria gently patted her own cheeks.
This is really difficult for her! In the current situation, no matter where she goes, there is always a group of people following her. It's so hard for her to find some alone time.
"Goodness gracious, could we please have some extra brainpower skills!"
Not to the extent of Conan, but reaching the level of serious detective work like Kogoro Mouri would be wonderful.
Life is not easy, Loria sighed.
In conclusion, she did gain something from this practice.
At least she learned a lesson -
When you become excellent, the people who flock to you may be the ones who want to harm you.
Therefore, they must not be greedy for small advantages and must not trust strangers easily!
"If not, I might end up being sold one day."
Loria thought of Cathy.
After calming down, she actually understood why her popularity quickly faded away.
Although part of the reason was her collaboration with Claren Late Night News to exploit her fans, the bigger reason was that she didn't have any new "adventures."
Singing?
I couldn't hit the high notes.
Dancing?
Couldn't keep up with the rhythm.
Although she learned the striptease dance during rehearsals, it was obviously not something to bring to the stage. Besides, she wasn't doing anything inappropriate like adult live-streaming.
She only knew how to speak superficial words, such as how hard she worked and how sharp she was. It was obvious that such things couldn't hold the fans' attention for long.
"Not many people would like it if their idols kept lecturing them, right?"
Anyway, Loria didn't like it.
"If you really want to become an idol, I'm afraid you can only keep going down the path of fighting injustice and evil."
But it's so tiring, so I decided not to become an idol after all.
Unable to continue, I might as well sell myself to the guildmaster.
Loria now only wants to solve the Shadow of the Red-light District and the Hidden Leader, restoring peace to both herself and Creek Town.
However…
Miss Loria, who had been tormented, instinctively touched her bottom.
In the simulation, Yukihime launched her attack from this direction.
"I'll remember this grudge!"
Loria began to look through the simulated rewards.
The increase in charm attributes made her feel very unhappy. They were already high enough, and any higher would truly be bothersome.
In this world teeming with monsters, being good-looking is sometimes seen as a wrongdoing.
However, the increase in intelligence still pleased Loria very much.
"We're almost at 9, keep going!"
Then, she clicked on the simulated generated reward.
[Rallying Together]: After falling multiple times, you have learned the ability to unleash your hidden potential. Upon using this skill, you regain 30% of your stamina, with a cooldown period of 12 hours.
"?"
Loria's heart suddenly gave birth to a bold idea.
If "Getting Back on Track" is combined with "Delayed Excitement," what effect would it produce?
"Let's take another look. If we can't find a better reward, then let's choose this one!"
Loria turned off the simulator.
Before thinking about how to proceed with the investigation, it was obviously not wise to start the next simulation directly.
After so many simulations, she had already figured out some patterns.
Before officially starting the simulation, if she didn't have a strong desire, then the version of her in the simulation would act blindly, following her body and doing strange things.
For example, adding something to the guildmaster's head, and then adding something else to the guildmaster's head…
Although it could increase her attributes, now the situation was urgent. Before resolving the threats from the shadows, she had to cherish every opportunity in the simulation.
As for what happened afterward…
Of course, she started devising ways to enhance her attributes in the simulation!
For example, to increase her endurance, she embarked on a ten-day and ten-night challenge with the Dragon Maiden. And to enhance her strength, she purposely allowed herself to be captured by the wicked mine owner, toiling away in the coal mines.
Bang!
Loria was deep in thought when suddenly, the guildmaster appeared before her as the door swung open.
"Can't sleep?"
Even before Loria appeared outside the door, Adeline had sensed her presence. However, instead of coming out immediately, Adeline waited until she noticed that Loria had not left before revealing herself.
She could understand Loria, after all.
After all, it is quite normal to have trouble sleeping when something like that happened during the day.
Loria looked up and asked, "Guildmaster, may I ask you a question?"
"You ask."
"Why did the guildmaster, as a member of a prestigious family, come to develop in such an inconspicuous place like Creek Town?"
This question had puzzled Loria for a long time.
Count Lidilia was a renowned figure in the empire, and as his eldest daughter, Guildmaster Adeline should have held a prominent position in the big city.
This time, Adeline was not being considerate at all. She completely ignored Loria's question.
"Get some rest early, tomorrow there will surely be a big group of reporters coming to interview you. If you don't rest well, you'll suffer later."
Reporters.
Loria was starting to develop a fear of this profession.
So far, she hadn't come across a single good reporter.
Although Vita helped her get rid of the slave trading organization, in the simulator, Vita would always punish her when she least expected it, making her a potential criminal.
As for the reporters from Claren Late Night News, they were even worse, setting traps for her directly in the contract.
"Hey, by the way, where did Vita go?"
Loria was taken aback.
In the previous few simulations, Vita kept pestering her for an interview, saying that exposing the atrocities of this slave trafficking organization was far more meaningful than hanging out in the red-light district of Creek Town.
But in this simulation, Vita only conducted interviews on the first day, and didn't appear again until after Creek Town had been destroyed.
"Where did she go during this time?"
Loria quickly bid farewell to Guildmaster Adeline, and upon returning to her bedroom, she couldn't wait to begin a new simulation.
This time, after being interviewed by Vita, she shamelessly decided to directly stay at Vita's place.
The subsequent development left her astonished.
[Day 2: In the morning, you heard a loud knocking sound on the door. As you got dressed and went outside, you discovered that Vita had been detained by the chief of the detention center. The reason given was that she had displayed abilities that didn't match her identity, and the town mayor suspected her of having connections with the slave trading organization.]
"?"
[Day 4: You declined Claren Late Night News' proposal for cooperation. The reporter from Claren Late Night News expressed regret. In the evening, as you were finishing work, you noticed the reporter from Claren Late Night News and the chief of the detention center chatting and laughing.]
