Chapter 143: Who Spends the Night With the Succubus Knight?
Loria felt very sad while walking back, even though she had just gotten a lot of money from the Finance Minister, which should have made her very happy.
"It's better to be optimistic, but it's not necessary to be too optimistic about our bodies. Being overly optimistic can make us unpredictable and explosive."
Loria turned around and took a glance at the women following behind her.
They got their revenge, but their faces didn't show a relieved expression.
Just thinking about it.
Even if the Finance Minister was killed in a very cruel way, their past experiences would not be erased.
Moreover, the Finance Minister is only the ringleader, he still has many accomplices and subordinates who are alive, and the sins they have committed are no less than those of the Finance Minister.
So, we cannot only punish the mastermind!
"Think about it carefully, in a few days the army of the Hidden Leader organization will come to attack, right?"
Loria lightly touched her chin, she used her hand to shake the magic storage device hanging from her waist.
This was plundered from the Finance Minister, it contains almost one hundred thousand Oder coins.
To the wealthy Finance Minister, this is pocket money, but to her, this money is enough for a down payment on a house.
"I will need to work harder and become a knight as well. When I return to Claren City, I will knock on each door following the list in the account book!"
Because she was prepared to escape before the Hidden Leader arrived, Loria realized that she probably wouldn't have any rest time in the near future.
After all, it is a job to make money. If we delay a bit, we may lose thousands of Oder coins.
After walking a distance, Loria finally returned to the place where she had fought with the knight before.
The battle had already ended.
The fierce knight lay in the pit, with his arms severed and his body twisted and lifeless.
On the other hand, Coleridge had some minor injuries on his arm, while the guildmaster stood by the pit. The knight's sword was broken, but she showed no signs of injury. Her beautiful golden hair floated in the evening breeze, creating a dazzling scene.
"the guildmaster, are you okay?"
Loria threw an Insightful Perception over.
There are two buffs behind the guildmaster's name, one is called "Self-control" and the other is called "Hidden Impulse".
The buffs are not explained in detail, but they don't seem to be a big problem for now.
The guildmaster shook her head and asked, "Are you okay, Chief Financial Officer?"
Loria explained the situation to the guildmaster and Coleridge, and then found Miss Plump Sheep who had been hiding nearby, and explained it again.
Everyone felt a bit complicated.
It seemed like something had been released, but there was still something left.
Finally, Liya was the first to break the silence. A brilliant smile bloomed on her face as she said, "Why are you all just standing there? Shouldn't we be celebrating now? Everything will be different from tomorrow onwards. Do you still want to say goodbye to today with sad faces?"
With her encouragement, the atmosphere gradually became lively.
"Let's celebrate, celebrate with all our might!"
Miss Plump Sheep got excited when talking about this.
So, whether it was fake or genuine, everyone's faces showed smiles.
They tidied themselves up and returned to Claren City.
Even though it was late at night, the celebration continued.
Since it was a celebration, the venue and food were definitely necessary.
Lady Luciene led everyone to her other residence. The house was not big, but no one bothered them.
Afterwards, Coleridge and Miss Plump Sheep brought a lot of ingredients.
Now it was Liya's turn to show off her skills.
Nobody expected that Liya was a master chef. the guildmaster, who usually cooked, felt inferior in comparison.
"Here comes the chicken soup!"
With the final chicken soup brought to the table, everyone ate and chatted.
"I'm going to explore far away." Liya shared her goal.
As they were talking, one of the victims suddenly fell to the ground and bowed to her.
"Thank you, Sister Liya. Even though you have nothing to do with this, you have been running around for us."
"Huh?"
Loria was surprised.
Is it okay?
She always thought that Liya was also a victim, or that her loved ones were victims.
But when Liya helped the victim off the ground and started telling the details, she realized she had made a mistake.
Liya wasn't even from the Province of Claren. Her hometown was very far away from the Province of Claren. After becoming an adult, she began following in her ancestors' footsteps, touring the empire.
In Claren City, she met these victims. Because she remembered the oppression her own family had suffered, she decided to stay and stand up for these victims.
She stayed for almost a year.
It was only when she met Loria that the problem was finally solved.
Liya blushed as she touched the three white marks on her cheek, causing her cat ears to tremble.
"Next, I will continue traveling. I want to see the Imperial City and the Forest of Fairies. When I can't go any further, I will return to my hometown."
Perhaps this is what a hero is?
A hero knight doesn't have to do something that shocks the entire continent, like the knights in the stories you read. Bringing the spirit of a knight to the places they pass through is what makes them a hero.
In this broken world, there are many bad people, but there are also many good people. Otherwise, the statues of the Goddess of Dawn, Wind, and Sky would have been knocked down long ago.
Loria admired Liya to some extent, but she kept her distance from this kind of attitude towards life.
She just wants to live a peaceful life lying down.
It would be best if she could easily summon beautiful older sisters like the guildmaster and Miss Plump Sheep to serve her whenever she's bored, so that she can be completely satisfied.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Cheers!"
Loria drank a glass of wine in one gulp.
The guildmaster, who was sitting next to her, quickly held her hand, "Drink less, at your age, you shouldn't be drinking."
"It's okay, nothing's wrong."
Loria, with flushed cheeks, casually waved her hand.
Not to mention drinking, she has done even more outrageous things.
Continue hopping, hopping, hopping.
The long night passed in this lively way. When half drunk, Coleridge went back first, and then some people left one after another.
At a certain moment.
Loria rubbed her belly and stood up from the chair.
Feeling a little uncomfortable, she decided to relieve herself. Although it would be exciting to have a sudden urinary accident in front of everyone during the celebration, she still rejected the joy brought by this twisted game.
"Hmm, has the effect of the sacrifice worn off?"
Somehow, Loria felt her body was a bit hot, and walking felt somewhat floaty.
Maybe it was because she drank too much.
After a few minutes, she returned to the table.
"Drink, keep drinking!"
Happiness returned to Loria's body, and she found herself even more excited than before.
She thought it must be the result of regaining lost happiness, but it didn't matter anymore. Tonight, she wouldn't stop until she got drunk!
"I really can't drink anymore."
The guildmaster looked at Loria, who was staggering, with a serious expression.
"It's... it's okay, I'm super capable. Hehe, I specifically packed diapers, so it doesn't matter even if I drink too much later."
"..."
The guildmaster was speechless.
She reached out and touched Loria's forehead and found it was burning hot.
Are you sick?
Loria is strong, so she shouldn't get sick.
The guildmaster leaned gently against Loria, and because they were so close, Loria's hand accidentally brushed against her chest twice.
Even though it was just a simple touch, a sensation more tingling than an electric shock suddenly spread throughout her body, causing her to freeze.
What's going on?
The guildmaster stood still, unable to move.
Despite being in her twenties, in a world where the average marriage age is less than twenty, she understood those things, and she had even done them herself, but the sensation she felt now was much stronger.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that both of them had stopped moving, Miss Plump Sheep, who was happily eating nearby, and Lady Luciene, also leaned in.
At this moment, Loria and the guildmaster weren't getting along very well. Their faces were all blushy and their smooth skin was gently touching, creating an enviable scent.
"Loria is already quite drunk. Let's carry her to bed so she can rest properly."
Miss Plump Sheep suggested first.
Lady Luciene immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, I'll help."
One on each side, they skillfully and naturally separated the guildmaster from Loria.
"I don't want to rest! I'm rarely this happy, I want to keep celebrating!"
Loria tried to break free, but she felt weak and, after a few feeble attempts, she was lifted away.
Her mind felt fuzzy, only registering a bump on her bottom as she was being carried and then placed on the bed.
A blanket covered her, followed by hurried footsteps.
The guildmaster seemed to come in.
"Is it really okay to just put her on the bed? What if she vomits?"
"emmm..."
This is indeed a problem.
Miss Plump Sheep said, "Let's start by giving Loria a bath. With the three of us here, we can wash her quickly."
The suggestion was unanimously agreed upon.
So, Loria, who was unconsciously lightly rubbing the blanket between her legs, was lifted out again.
This process turned out to be unexpectedly difficult.
Loria had a plump body, but because her height was not very tall, her weight didn't match.
Don't say it's the powerful the guildmaster, even Miss Plump Sheep can easily pick her up.
But it took the four of them about four to five minutes to walk the several dozen steps to the bathroom.
"Why does it feel so hot tonight?"
Miss Plump Sheep lifted her collar and casually swayed it, trying to catch some breeze.
But it was in vain.
"Guildmaster Adeline?"
She called out with confusion to the guildmaster, who had stopped by the bathtub.
The guildmaster shook her head forcefully, "It's nothing, let's get started."
She had already noticed that something was wrong with her body. The problem couldn’t possibly be caused by the "god" she had "connected" with, so it must be the medicine that the knight spilled.
Be patient.
Wait until Loria finishes taking a bath, then carefully check again.
The sound of water echoed in the bathroom. Before long, mist filled the room, gradually filling the entire bathroom.
...
Loria felt like she had an incredible dream.
In her dream, she was first carried around by someone, and then somehow she was finally put down.
Just when she thought she could finally relax and enjoy the happiness surging from within her, someone suddenly reached out and scratched her.
It wasn't just a scratch, but when scratched, all the accumulated happiness burst out like a dam breaking.
The scene was a bit absurd.
Loria couldn't remember what happened at that time, she just noticed that her mind went blank for a while, but there seemed to be the sound of rain in her ears.
After she finally regained her senses, she found herself back in bed, and then an annoying woman kept rubbing against her.
That's too much.
She just wanted to get a good sleep, but that woman kept bothering her, making her suddenly feel aroused.
Seriously, disturbing someone's sleep, do you have a problem!
Angry, she jumped on the woman and they started fighting.
It seemed like a fierce fight because Loria found it difficult to move and heard the sound of a vase breaking during the process.
After a while, the woman seemed to be beaten and wanted to escape through the door, but something happened and the door was quickly pushed open again.
Loria got angry once again.
Are you done or not?
She pounced again, and this time the fight was even stronger. She even fainted and had no idea what happened afterwards.
"What a silly dream."
Loria, who sat up from the bed, was speechless.
Fighting at night, coming back to sleep and still fighting, she is not someone who fights regularly with people.
She lifted the blanket, jumped off the bed, and was surprised to find that the pajamas and underwear she was wearing didn't fit properly.
"This isn't mine, is it?"
This plain style is clearly not her favorite.
Loria scratched her head and noticed that the bedroom was unusually damp. When she walked to the window, she saw it was a sunny day outside, and it hadn't rained at all.
"?"
Why is the room so wet? Who would sprinkle water in the room for no reason?
She rubbed her forehead.
Besides everything else, today she was brimming with happiness, feeling an unprecedented ease.
"Finding the feeling of happiness again is like finding a magic needle!"
Loria smiled and stretched lazily, then changed her underwear to her favorite black color in just a second, using her inventory.
A new day, a new beginning.
Yesterday, after getting rid of the finance minister, it's time to go trouble the remaining people today.
"Let me have a look."
Loria took out her ID card to check her basic attributes. Then she wanted to compete with those people in the simulation to see if she needed some extra help.
But at that moment, she suddenly noticed a problem.
"Are my attributes not quite right?"
Loria clearly remembered that her attributes should be strength 72, agility 62, and stamina 109 when not in combat.
This non-combat state referred to not being in heat, not facing multiple enemies, and not using active skills to increase attributes.
But now her attributes had changed to strength 81 , agility 72 , and stamina 113.
"Where did these attributes come from?"
Loria immediately checked the log.
Then she discovered that the problem was with the skill called "Battlefield Bond."
With this skill, she has mooched quite a few attribute points from the guildmaster, and now the value has become even more impressive.
"Strength +13, Agility +12, could it be that the guildmaster's strength increase is not temporary? The cost must be terribly high!"
Loria's face suddenly changed color.
But in the next second, her face became even more serious.
That's not right.
This slight change is not enough to explain why her attributes have increased.
Before this, Battlefield Bond could give her a boost of 8 points in strength and 6 points in agility.
Doing the math, she still has 4 points in strength, 4 points in agility, and 4 points in endurance, but she doesn't know where they came from.
"Did the card glitch?"
Loria looked around but couldn't find any changes in her skill bonuses. She didn't use the simulator last night, so these attribute points are obviously not from the simulator reward.
After checking her identification card over and over again, she finally realized that the problem came from the new talent, "the Crowd of Dark Moon," that she gained when she changed her job to become a Dark Moon Priestess.
All these attributes are provided by "the Crowd of Dark Moon."
"The Crowd of Dark Moon" is the core talent of the Dark Moon Priestess. According to the talent description, the Dark Moon Priestess can increase her own strength by using the power of the dark moon every time she sticks with a complete set of objects.
The so-called "stick with a complete set" naturally means doing everything that needs to be done, and feeling happy from the bottom of your heart when doing it.
"Hiss-"
Loria gasped, her whole body suddenly confused.
"S-s-so you mean, I've already done something intimate with someone..."
She quickly lowered her head to check her own body.
There was no one in the room, and she couldn't care about how stiff her movements were.
If she hadn't checked, she wouldn't have known. But when she did check, she became even more confused.
"Hmm..."
Loria sat down beside the bed and stared blankly at a cabinet in the corner of the wall.
Normally, there should have been a vase as decoration on top of the cabinet, but now there was no vase on it.
She remembered that in her dream, there was the sound of a vase breaking.
"Ah!"
Loria pinched her arm and it hurt so much that she exclaimed.
It wasn't a dream.
Now all of this is not a dream.
What happened last night is also not a dream!
Where they were fighting, no, in a way that could also be called a fight, but the process of the fight was different from what everyone is used to seeing.
"Oh no, something's wrong!"
Loria got scared.
If she didn't remember incorrectly, it was she who initiated the charge last night.
Feeling the coolness brought by the damp air, she could sense how terrifying she was last night, and the person who was pressed against her must have felt like they fell into hell.
If she were to go out now, she would probably face a "public trial"!
"No, that doesn't seem quite right either."
Loria frowned.
She remembered that the door was open last night, and the person she had scolded escaped, but soon after, the door opened again.
Does this mean that the person actually enjoyed it and wanted her to continue?
"Then I should be safe, if she doesn't reject me, she won't voluntarily tell others about what happened in the room last night."
"Hmm, I think that's right. So now what I need to do is go and ask who was the first one to kiss me last night."
Loria squeezed her toes, feeling a bit down.
How annoying.
How nice it would have been if she had been conscious at that time.
She always feels like she missed out.
But fortunately, although she pierced through that layer of illusion like in a simulation, she didn't fall into the deep abyss of sensuality, becoming a more terrifying pornography brain than a succubus.
"So it's probably a good thing that I have a blurred conscience? Well, let's go and ask."
Loria walked to the door in her slippers.
Just as she placed her hand on the doorknob, she stopped.
So, here comes the question?
"How should I ask?!"
She couldn't just burst out and grab the guildmaster, Miss Plump Sheep, or Lady Luciene, asking, "Hey, did you... with me all night last night?"
Choose one out of three and if she asks the wrong person, the secret will be revealed, and that would be a problem.
Would she be considered a pervert?
And if that person is not the guildmaster, after this is made public, her dream of clinging to the guildmaster, the rich lady, might be shattered.
The guildmaster in the simulation didn't get angry when she went out looking for monster girls. She even occasionally made her a body-nourishing chicken soup, because she had no idea that her head was covered in grass.
If something like this was known in reality, it would probably cause a scene.
"I can't ask directly. So, I'll pretend that nothing happened. The person who did bad things with me all night will definitely come to find me in secret. When she comes, I'll know who she is."
Loria nodded vigorously.
She noticed that only when she did these things, her head would become very clever.
This is not Loria trying to give herself credit.
If not for that, she wouldn't always be able to secretly put a green grass hat on the guildmaster in the simulation without the guildmaster noticing.
Loria tidied up her clothes and hair, making sure everything was perfect, then she walked out of the bedroom as usual.
As soon as the door opened, the three people sitting in the living room all turned their heads to look at her.
Loria held her breath slightly, trying to figure out who had an odd look in their eyes and expressions, but there was no success.
The guildmaster said, "Get up, hurry to wash up and get ready for breakfast. We still have a lot to do later."
"Oh, okay."
Loria hurriedly pretended to be calm and walked into the adjacent bathroom.
Washing up wouldn't take much time.
When she returned to the living room, Miss Plump Sheep and Lady Luciene had already set up breakfast.
"Let's eat," the guildmaster said, "since we've gotten rid of the finance minister, we can't leave the others behind. We'll take care of all the remaining bad guys!"
Miss Plump Sheep said excitedly.
Lady Luciene smiled and nodded, "I don't know if what I made suits your taste."
Loria was speechless for a moment.
Why does it feel like everyone else is normal except for her?
She couldn't say much either, so she decided to go eat first and then speak.
Then, Loria felt disappointed.
It was already evening when she returned from the home of the Minister of Finance's capable assistant, and still, the person she was waiting for didn't come to her proactively.
During that time, those three people had all spoken to her individually.
But the guildmaster came to discuss the action plan with her, Miss Plump Sheep brought her treatment medicine, and Lady Luciene came to ask how she slept last night.
"So annoying!"
Loria didn't want things to become so confusing.
Don't think that I won't be able to investigate just because of this. I have a simulator, after all.
After returning to the temporary residence, Loria didn't have time to eat or shower, and immediately turned on the simulator.
[Life Simulator activated.]
