Chapter 62: The Name of the Succubus Knight Is Not Just An Empty Boast!
Loria was confident that her simulated self would continue to act according to plan, and the key to this confidence lay in the fact that there were very few monster girls around Creek Town.
Even if, during the execution of the plan, she got lost in desires as usual and forgot about the task at hand, it didn't matter.
With just a few monster girl tribes, could they withstand her mischief for a few days?
If she engaged in direct battles, it was estimated that within two or three days, she would be able to defeat all those monster girls.
Only in this matter, Loria had full confidence.
"After all the time I spent honing my endurance, boosted by my inherent optimism and ability to delay excitement, if I can't even handle something like this, how can I call myself a succubus knight?"
Oh!
Not right.
She is Loria, the righteous female knight. Succubus knights are derogatory terms from the simulator!
She actually didn't like porns, but she happened to possess a sensual body, and unfortunately found herself in a situation where she had to rely on her own body to conquer those monster girls!
Due to these coincidences, the guildmaster's mind bore the weight it shouldn't have borne, which made Loria feel deeply ashamed.
But.
Isn't there a way to solve this?
The guildmaster can only endure a little longer. Once this is over, she will report to the guildmaster in detail.
In the end.
After going around and completely eliminating all the monster girl tribes around Creek Town, the simulated Loria no longer had anyone to freely engage in adult activities with without any worries.
Even if her head was burning hot, she could only obediently return to do proper work, because after all, daydreaming about love wouldn't solve any real problems.
So, when the time came to the evening of the 14th day, with only one and a half days left until the outbreak of the monster wave.
The righteous female knight, filled with a deep sense of humiliation from being bullied by the monster girls, began executing the final step of her plan-
To bring to light the hidden puppeteer right beside her!
[At six o'clock in the evening, you first find Miss Plump Sheep in the Adventurers Management Guild hall, searching for adventure companions.]
[You tell Miss Plump Sheep that you have recently encountered trouble, a trouble that involves an earth-shattering secret. Only the bravest adventurers can solve this problem.]
[Miss Plump Sheep, who was currently troubled by the inability to find adventure companions, immediately declared herself as the courageous one.]
[You acknowledged her bravery and led her into an empty alleyway.]
[In the alleyway, you told her that you had recently found a magical puppet. This magical puppet was connected to an organization that was attempting to overthrow the empire's rule. You planned to hand over the magical puppet to the empire, but you needed help in covering it up.]
[Miss Plump Sheep was extremely shocked, and she immediately said that she would help you. However, she asked with a puzzled expression why you didn't seek the guildmaster's help. Was the guildmaster perhaps the villain of the organization?]
[You told her that the guildmaster needed to stay in Creek Town to prevent any unforeseen circumstances. This task could only be undertaken by you, but you realized that your own strength was not enough. After deep consideration, you felt that she was the most reliable companion.]
[Miss Plump Sheep became very excited. She complained to you that other adventurers always looked down on her, but she thanked you for trusting her. She also said that she wanted to prove herself by relying on her own strength and making a name for herself.]
[You and Miss Plump Sheep agreed on a time and place to meet, and only then did you part ways.]
"Very well."
After reading the simulated content, Loria let out a sigh of relief.
At least so far, everything was still within her plan.
She intentionally set the time for the 17th day, and told Miss Plump Sheep that the magic puppet was hidden outside Creek Town.
From now on, all we need to do is observe the movements of Miss Plump Sheep and see if there are any changes in the monster tide.
"I hope everything goes well."
[On the 15th day, while heading back home from work, you encountered Miss Plump Sheep wearing a new floral dress at Guildmaster Adeline's house.]
[Curiously, you asked her why she suddenly dressed like that. She explained that dressing like this would make it easier to go unnoticed while traveling, and she mentioned that it was a technique she learned from knight adventure novels!]
[You treated her to a drink and then escorted her back to the rented inn.]
[Day 16: The Monster Tide erupted, and you found yourself trapped amidst the swarm of creatures. Suddenly, Miss Plump Sheep rushed in to save you. With a worried expression, she exclaimed that you couldn't die because if you did, the Magic Puppet couldn't be handed over to the country. This would cause many people to suffer because of that organization.]
[Miss Plump Sheep bravely rescued you, but she met her demise under a surprise attack by the Tree Sprite. You wanted to go up and save her, but unfortunately, you also fell victim to the clutches of the Tree Sprite.]
[The simulation comes to an end.]
[Outcome Achieved: The Trustworthy Adventurer Senior]
[Congratulations to the player for achieving the "Enchanting Succubus" achievement, earning an additional reward of +2 stamina.]
[Congratulations to the player for achieving the "Enchanting Succubus Senior" achievement, earning an extra reward of +1 spirit.]
[Congratulations to the player for achieving the "Skillful Money Maker" achievement, earning an extra reward of +1 agility.]
[Congratulations to the player for receiving a D-grade evaluation, generating a reward: Guidance from the Elder]
"Haha, the little money-making expert's addition is actually agility instead of intelligence?"
Loria thought that this damn simulator was trying to limit her intelligence to nine points.
What's wrong with a 9 intelligence? A knight with 9 intelligence can still easily defeat all kinds of major villains standing in front of them!
However, this simulation once again confirmed her speculation. As long as she engages in explicit content within the simulation, there is a greater chance of unlocking achievements that increase her endurance.
"I suspect this simulator wants to subtly transform me into a real succubus!"
Although being a succubus is quite enjoyable, but...
We are righteous female knights, how could we succumb to pleasure and betray our principles? Don't underestimate my willpower, you jerk!
Forget it.
Now is not the time to make things difficult.
From the simulation results, Miss Plump Sheep's suspicion can be ruled out.
If Yukihime were truly the mastermind, she wouldn't have simply died at the hands of the tree demon, nor would she have unleashed the swarm of monsters on the 16th day, even after clearly stating that they would transport the magical puppets together on the 17th day.
Actually, from the beginning, her suspicion of Miss Plump Sheep wasn't particularly high.
After all, Miss Plump Sheep seemed so silly.
If this silliness is just an act, then it would be terrifying.
Now this outcome made Loria breathe a sigh of relief.
"Next, Vita,"
She deliberately waited until midnight, waiting for the new free practice opportunity to appear before she started practicing.
During this time, she skillfully acquired the skills that were simulated and practiced the previous day, in all seriousness.
In the new practice session, Loria didn't change her plans. She worried that any sudden change could result in unforeseen difficulties.
When the time came for the 14th day again, she found Vita sulking in the tavern, drowning her sorrows in drinks.
[Vita poured her heart out to you, complaining about how the newspaper had assigned her a bunch of new tasks, causing her resignation plan to be postponed.]
Then, Loria brought Vita to an empty alley using the same method.
[After hearing what you said, Vita jokingly remarked, "Creek Town must be cursed! How else can we explain so many major incidents happening one after another?"]
[Soon after, she said that she would help you, and with a smile, patted your shoulder, comforting you not to be too nervous. She reminded you that in life, there are always setbacks, but once you overcome this obstacle, everything will get better.]
[Vita invited you for a drink, and then you both agreed on a time and place to meet.]
"Don't get into trouble."
Loria was so nervous that her palms were sweating.
She vividly recalled the day when she sought Vita's help to deal with the director and mayor.
After listening to what she said, Vita, though she claimed to need some time to think, actually grabbed the director with astonishing speed.
Afterwards, without considering her own safety, she bravely confronted the mayor directly.
It can be said that if it wasn't for Vita's help, she would still be entangled with the mayor even now.
Loria couldn't imagine that Vita, who detested evil, would be associated with the Hidden Leader organization.
[Day 15: Vita finds you and says that after completing this task, you might be targeted by that organization. She suggests you leave Creek Town and find a new place to live. She even writes you a letter of introduction.]
[You assure her that you have your own way and she doesn't need to worry, but she still insists on giving you the letter.]
[Day 16: The monster tide erupted, and you found yourself trapped amidst the monsters. Just in time, Vita appeared and rescued you.]
[Due to a large number of monster girls leaving early, the scale of the monster tide was smaller than expected. However, due to the activity of the tree spirits, many people still died in the defense battle.]
[In the evening, Vita told you that she didn't know when the monsters would launch another attack, so it would be best to quickly hand over the magic puppet to the country.]
[You and Vita set off on the road towards Claren City, dragging a large suitcase.]
...
[Day 18: You and Vita arrived in Claren City. You met with the city officials and explained your purpose. After that, you handed over the suitcase, informing the officials that it could only be opened upon your return.]
In the suitcase, supposedly, there was Doris.
But how could Loria possibly just give away her automated money-printing machine? The suitcase, in fact, only contained a large stone.
"This way, should there be no problem?"
Loria let go of most of her suspended heart.
Although this meant she would have to spend more simulation attempts to find out the mastermind, it was still better than having Miss Plump Sheep or Vita be the mastermind.
"I'm not some genius sage; all I can do is repeatedly strategize this "game"."
Loria let out a yawn.
"Time for bed, let's sleep after finishing the story."
Speaking this way, the simulator kept releasing new content one after another.
[One evening, as you lay in bed, you suddenly noticed a dark figure outside the window. Before you could react, the figure entered the room.]
[The dark figure grabbed your neck and, using a gender-indistinct voice, forced you to reveal where you had hidden the magic puppet.]
"!"
Loria, who had been feeling a bit sleepy just moments ago, suddenly became wide awake.
"That dark shadow."
She hadn't even noticed that her fists had already instinctively clenched.
["Vita!" you exclaimed, calling out that familiar name.]
[The dark figure slowly removed the cat mask from its face, letting its deep brown hair cascade down. Before you stood a familiar face.]
[You felt like you couldn't breathe anymore as you angrily confronted Vita, the guildmaster. You questioned why she, who had always stood up against the mistreatment of slaves, would encourage ordinary people to let monsters harm the innocent.]
[Vita didn't answer your question. She continued to ask where you had hidden the magic puppet and even mentioned that if you confessed, she could set you free.]
[You stayed silent, and another dark figure walked in from outside, urging Vita to quickly resolve the issue. Vita hoped that he would let you go, but her request was rejected.]
[At the critical moment, the guildmaster who had followed you to Claren City rushed out with Doris. You were rescued, but you sustained severe injuries.]
[The guildmaster fled Claren City with you through the night.]
...
[On the twentieth day: The guildmaster, along with you and Doris, hid during the day and moved under the cover of night, stealthily fleeing.]
...
[On the twenty-third day, as your condition worsened, the guildmaster had to take you to the nearby hospital for treatment. However, you were unexpectedly attacked.]
...
[On the twenty-seventh day, the guildmaster, along with you and Doris, temporarily evaded the pursuers. But right at that moment, the guildmaster learned through a newspaper that a war had broken out. Rebelions were springing up in various parts of the empire, and the kingdom of Leman as well as the wild beasts in the wilderness had declared war on the empire.]
...
[On the thirty-first day, the impact of the war grew increasingly significant, and no one could escape its grasp. The era of darkness and chaos seemed to be approaching in the not-too-distant future.]
[The simulation comes to an end]
This change happened so quickly, so quickly that Loria didn't have time to bring her emotions out from the simulation.
Her current thoughts are exactly the same as her simulated self.
Why?
Carefully recalling, Vita's body indeed had many unreasonable aspects.
Even though she was just a reporter, why did she possess such a formidable strength?
Not only did she possess great strength, but why was she able to kill without flinching?
And, that evening when she was attacked by a slave trading organization at her own doorstep, Vita inexplicably appeared nearby.
Vita said she was out for a stroll, but where does one stroll off to, exactly?
She was probably looking for Doris.
There were also questionable aspects within the simulator.
In the simulation that caused discord between Vita and the guildmaster, Vita ended up being wanted by the authorities. During that time, the monster attack didn't occur even by the 30th day.
But Loria just didn't understand.
Even though she had already prepared herself mentally to some extent, she still couldn't connect Vita, who bravely fought against slave traders, with the mastermind behind the attack on Creek Town.
What benefits does fighting against slave traders bring to Vita?
There wouldn't be any benefit besides exposing her own strength and arousing doubts in others.
Loria had nothing to say.
She didn't even have enough energy to dwell on it any longer, because she discovered a piece of news even more astonishing than Creek Town being destroyed.
A war erupted, sweeping across the entire Oder Empire!
This was something that had never happened before in any of the simulations.
In the realm of special events, the mention of the so-called Hidden Leader refers to the chief of a group of individuals attempting to overthrow the rule of the empire.
From what was observed in the simulation, it appeared highly likely that the war had been instigated by the Hidden Leader organization.
Loria pondered for quite some time, finally coming up with what she considered to be a reasonably logical explanation.
The biggest difference between this simulation and the previous ones is that, this time, the Hidden Leader organization not only failed to capture Doris but also ended up exposing the fact that they were searching for her.
There is a highly possible that Doris is hiding a very important secret.
Because they were worried that this secret had already been exposed, they had to rebel ahead of time.
"If their actions are exposed, the war will break out earlier."
"If they didn't do anything and found Doris, the war would be delayed. But Creek Town would be destroyed, and the war would eventually break out."
So, isn't it very easy to make a choice?
