Chapter 15: It Hurt, It Hurt Too Much
Although it is a red-light district, unlike the general impression people have, the security and environment here can be considered the best in Creek Town.
Here, you won't see drunkards rolling on the ground, nor will you see alcoholics engaging in "fighting dance."
The reason behind this is that nowadays, the porn industry has become one of the three main pillars of economic development in Creek Town.
It was thanks to energetic adventurers, merchants, and profit-seeking geishas that Creek Town, a small border town, caught the attention of Oder Travel Newspaper.
The mayor who was determined to make Creek Town a renowned imperial border city would never allow anyone to hinder the development of Creek Town.
Therefore, shortly after taking office, he dispatched a large number of inspectors to patrol near the red-light district. In addition, from time to time, he would conduct surprise inspections of the red-light district.
But anyone who dared to violate the regulations of the red-light district or engage in tax evasion would be promptly dragged out and paraded through the streets.
With the help of such policies, Creek Town's red-light district became more and more orderly, and the number of people willing to come here for entertainment increased steadily.
Placed in other places where public order is rather chaotic, women are afraid to go to bawdyhouses for entertainment.
Because they didn't want to end up becoming someone else's object of consumption.
"After all this is done, I will definitely experience all the shops in the red-light district!"
Miss Loria stood at the entrance of Hop and Skip Slime and made a solemn vow.
The director of the orphanage said that people should learn to have ambitions. Over the years, she had always regarded the director's words as a guiding principle.
But those were all things to be considered later.
Now, Miss Loria's task was to overcome her bad habits!
From day 0 to day 23, as long as she successfully completes this journey, she will be able to break the seal and enjoy drinking and having fun with the adorable geishas.
With such a firm determination, when she saw the Hop and Skip Slime's boss step out of the shop, she, just like her simulated self, firmly refused the boss's temptation.
"I am not here to sticky with the slime girl, I am just a passing pure love knight!"
Do you want to deceive me and trap me in an endless loop of temptation from day 0?
That's not possible!
Facing fifteen green-skinned orc maidens in a fierce battle, she could cry out for the storm to come even more violently. With such a strong determination, how could she be fooled by a mere manager of a bawdyhouse?
Half off?
Not even a tenth off, unless I can get it for free!
Loria quickly ran away.
Now it's time to go, otherwise Inspector Li Wei will think she stood him up.
She was lazy, and she liked to procrastinate, but she had one good quality-
She never stood anyone up!
"If I have no strengths at all, how could I graduate from the strict knight training school and enter the Adventurers Management Guild?"
Loria was extremely proud.
Durable and resilient was just one of many unremarkable qualities she possessed!
As she walked along, she suddenly came to a halt. She could hear hurried footsteps behind her.
Has he arrived?
Loria, who had encountered two surprise attacks in the simulator, remained calm and composed.
As the person behind her swung a big stick, she quickly turned around and threw a punch.
"Ah…"
A wail pierced through the quiet alley.
The person who launched the ambush was sent flying backward, and in the next second, seven burly men emerged one after another from the corner.
The leader pressed his fingers against the bones with a crackling sound and said, "Just a rookie from the Adventurers Management Guild, daring to disrupt our business yesterday. This time, we must capture you and sell you as a geisha in another town!"
If this were an r18 story, then she would soon experience a tragic ordeal "involving" powerful men.
Loria used the skill "Insightful Perception (Basic)" on the leader of the burly men.
Name: Eleanor Grover
Gender: Male
Age: 36
Occupation: Beginner Knight (Female)
Or
Profession: Novice Knight (Female)
Attributes: Strength 9, Agility 7, Stamina 8, Intelligence 6, Spirit 7.
Talent: …
Skills: …
"He actually has the strength of nine points, no wonder even when I'm covered in lime, I still get hurt."
But now times have changed.
Loria turned around and ran, as loud shouts echoed behind her.
"Stop!"
Eleanor and the others immediately gave chase.
Seven against one, unsure of how to lose!
They dashed towards the corner and as they did, suddenly, with a loud swoosh, a cloud of lime dust flew out.
The four people at the front, unable to react in time, covered their eyes and rolled on the ground, crying out in pain.
"Ouch, it hurts so much!"
"Oh no, you wicked woman!"
"Take this!"
Loria, who was hiding in a deserted place, pulled out a door plank and a big sword, then jumped out.
One of the strong men grabbed Eleanor, who was writhing in pain, and shouted, "Big brother, run! That woman is coming!"
"Hmph, trying to escape?"
Even though Loria had not yet unlocked the dual-wielding bonus, she wielded her enormous swords like a goddess of war.
She struck down with a mighty leap, chopping a gap even in the great path before her.
The strong men who were rolling on the ground heard the sound of the earth cracking. Suddenly, their pain disappeared, and they no longer felt tired. They quickly got up and tried to escape in every direction.
"Silly things, you just want to break my head, don't you?"
Loria caught up and with one swing of her sword, she brought them all down to the ground.
The sword in her hand was a practice sword issued by the knight training school, so it didn't have a sharp edge. However, with the strength of her tremendous power, it was enough to slay a wild boar.
"Beep beep beep…"
Just as this happened, the patrol officer's whistle blew, and with great determination, Li Wei emerged from his hiding spot.
The burly man who was supporting Eleanor realized the situation was not in his favor. He swiftly let go of Eleanor and made a quick escape.
"Oh my goodness!"
Eleanor was left bewildered when he fell right in front of Loria.
You're usually the big brother, but you turn into a shield when danger arises, huh?
"I…"
"Bastard!"
Loria directly punched him.
"Mr. Li Wei, they are in your hands now. I will go chase after that person."
She dashed out like a whirlwind.
Loria followed the trail all the way until she stopped outside the back door of a bawdyhouse.
"Should I go in directly?"
After hesitating for a moment, Loria finally opened the simulator.
For safety reasons, let's simulate it first, and take this opportunity to continue investigating Vita and the water spirit.

[The Life Simulator has been activated]
[Day 1: After replenishing the lime, you walked into the bawdyhouse with a determined look on your face. The owner of the bawdyhouse asked you what kind of geisha you wanted.]
[You loudly questioned the bawdyhouse owner about where they had hidden the person who had just entered. The bawdyhouse owner claimed to have no idea what you were talking about.]
[You continued to question the owner of the bawdyhouse, who trembled in fear. Just as you reached out to grab the owner's collar, a cold light shot out from the entrance of the private room. Your head was severed as it flew up into the sky. In your final moments, you used your Insightful Perception (basic level) on the assailant and discovered that they had 20 points of strength.]
[The simulation comes to an end.]
