Chapter 108: Then, Draw Your Sword!
On the third day, after fake Sylph's first crime, Loria had plenty of time to prepare.
During these two days, she not only worked on strengthening her abilities but also made preparations in advance to deal with the potential outbreak of monster waves at any moment.
Loria didn't rush to tell the guildmaster the news, she needed some time to make up a story.
If she went to find the guildmaster right now, the guildmaster would definitely feel something was wrong.
"You've always been by my side, how did you know that fake Sylph would attack innocent adventurers?"
She couldn't let the guildmaster know about the existence of the simulator.
If the simulated content was exposed, Loria felt being locked in a basement and whipped would be considered light punishment.
"I have the defensive gear, boots that increase movement speed, gloves that enhance accuracy, and now I need a weapon. There aren't any good weapons for sale in Creek Town, so I'll make do with this big sword I have."
Loria started counting her supplies.
Because she bravely destroyed the secret base of the slave trading organization, she received a reward of fifty thousand Oder coins. With the money, she bought a large amount of healing potions and love potions.
So, she was not lacking in potions either.
"So let's stock up on some regular clothes, just in case there's a fight and our clothes get torn."
Loria doesn't plan on buying diapers.
They said it could act as a dam, but for someone with a different body constitution like her, diapers like these were not enough.
It definitely has an effect, but it can't last too long.
Loria thought it would be a waste of money to buy this, so instead she decided to keep Miss Plump Sheep with her. If they encountered an emergency situation, she could use Miss Plump Sheep as a disguise.
"Let's find a way to get some lime or something similar."
Lime may not be effective against the Hidden Leader's people, but it's still useful for dealing with weaker monsters.
The focus lies on these monsters during the monster wave.
Without a horde of raging monsters, it would take a lot of effort for the Hidden Leader's people to destroy Creek Town.
Loria took the time to buy all the materials she needed.
She didn't have much money left, but luckily Miss Plump Sheep was generous. When she heard that Loria wanted to borrow 6000 Oder coins, she gave her 8000 coins. Loria felt so grateful that she wanted to do anything for her.
But then she thought it might not be fair to take advantage of Miss Plump Sheep's kindness.
"Now I could almost be a legendary geisha. To spend the night with a legendary geisha, it would cost at least 10,000 Oder coins. It's not worth it to put myself in Miss Plump Sheep's bed just for 6000 coins."
Loria wasn't exaggerating the price.
Legendary geishas are as extraordinary as C-class adventurers.
The services provided with 10,000 Oder coins are worth more than a hundred regular geishas combined, in terms of time, quality, and style!
Take Loria for example, as long as the customer is fit, she can provide continuous services for two or three days without any problem.
Charging 10,000 coins is actually a friendly price!
Of course, Loria was just saying that, she didn't want to become a geisha.
Being a geisha is so tiring, most of the time you have to take the initiative, it's better to be a lady, where you can command the housemaids to do the work for you.
"Everything is ready, only lacking the east wind!"
Loria's eyes sparkled with determination.
What she had to do next was to improve her skills through simulation, and also test the true strength of the fake Sylph.
In the simulation, this was not difficult at all, find the person, then charge straight at them.
Actually, Loria didn't really believe in the results of the simulation battles.
The situation in battle changes rapidly, and the simulation is very simplified, she couldn't be exactly the same as in the simulation.
It's very likely that she won in the simulation, but in reality, she would suffer a humiliating defeat due to her arrogance.
These practice battles reassured her, letting her know that she and the fake Sylph were not too different in strength, and that the fake Sylph had also studied melee professions.
"Melee is great, this way I can hit her with normal attacks too."
The next day at noon, Loria and the guildmaster went to the hospital to visit Miss Plump Sheep, who was about to be discharged. While passing through the hallway, she stuffed the letter she wrote to Vita into the bottom of a flower pot.
Because she had already made plans with Vita yesterday, she couldn't simply stand her up.
When Vita, who was a bit out of sorts, came knocking on the door, it was too late to have any more fun.
In the letter, Loria and Vita agreed on a meeting time, which was set after the encounter with the fake Sylph.
She also wanted to give it one last try, to see if she could persuade Vita during this opportunity.
"It seems like you have everything prepared, so spill it, what kind of trouble have you encountered this time?"
As soon as they got home, the guildmaster stopped Loria.
Her face appeared very calm, but her wise eyes made Loria deeply admire her.
Truly a the guildmaster, effortlessly noticing that she was troubled.
"It's like this..."
Loria explained the situation with the fake Sylph once again, then brought Vita out and told her how the fake Sylph had killed countless people, wielding two swords from the east side of the castle to the west side without blinking an eye.
"She is now searching for the true culprit who killed Sylph. Allowing such a person to roam freely outside would have disastrous consequences!"
The guildmaster's expression immediately became serious.
"If that's the case, then we must not let her live!"
When it comes to hating evil, no one can rival the guildmaster.
In the simulation, Loria only greedily took over a thousand Oder coins and was taken to the basement for interrogation.
The guildmaster wouldn't show any mercy when dealing with this murderer.
"Go to bed early today, rest well, we will take action together tomorrow."
"Hmm."
Sleeping is necessary.
After completing today's three simulations, Loria took out her identification card, and her basic data had greatly improved compared to the previous few days.
[Attributes]: Strength 45, Agility 33, Stamina 75, Intelligence 12, Spirit 41, Charm 13.
At this moment, there was nothing that gave Loria more peace of mind than her own strength.
"If it was me from twenty days ago, I would have run away after hearing this news, right?"
Living in this world, it's fine if you don't have any worries, but once you have them, invisible locks will hang on you one by one.
Moving forward with a heavy load.
It's really annoying for people.
But...
"I am a person with the natural talent of optimism. Having more things hanging on me will not make me feel defeated!"
Gently stroking the big sword in her hand, Loria felt her body burning slightly, a surge of excitement entwined in her heart.
Before officially setting off, she first found Doris and asked Doris to give her a buff that increases her attributes.
Then, it was around six o'clock in the evening, drizzling in the sky. Loria, wearing a black mask and a red catgirl bodysuit, slowly walked out on the small path indicated by the simulator.
High heels stepped on the stone slabs, splashing water droplets.
At the end of the small path, Fake Sylph held a sword, planning to attack a certain adventurer in front of her.
"Before you strike others, you should first look at yourself."
Behind me!
Hilda immediately turned around.
Without unnecessary words, what caught her attention was a spinning and jumping bright red top. On the other side, a sudden gust of wind indicated that someone had unsheathed their sword!
