Chapter 169: So, That Night Was A Battle of Wits?
The guildmaster stopped what he was doing and nodded without showing any expression on his face.
"Ask me."
Loria felt a bit shy as she watched the guildmaster always being so generous.
The question she was about to ask was somewhat grown-up. How could an innocent girl like her have the courage to casually talk about adult topics?
Let's give it some thought.
After taking several deep breaths, Loria said, "Didn't we work together to defeat the Finance Minister of the Province of Claren some time ago?"
"Hmm."
"After getting rid of the Minister of Finance, we had a celebration party, let's call it a celebration party for now, and then..." Loria swallowed some saliva, gently tapping her toes hidden in the bottom of the bathtub, and a hidden current slowly flowed in the calm water of the pool. "I was a bit tipsy at the celebration party, I almost fell asleep, but I wasn't completely asleep, I was still conscious at that time."
"..."
Loria continued, "Actually, I've been wanting to ask, but I was hesitant. But after thinking for a while, I realized I should ask because if I don't ask now, there may not be another chance. The key is to gather the courage to ask."
You...
"If you want to ask, just ask directly."
The guildmaster's mouth twitched slightly.
"Well, I asked then."
"Go ahead and ask."
"Okay."
Despite saying this, Loria hesitated for a moment, then slowly leaned towards the guildmaster.
Her bottom pressed on her ankles, her lower body almost immobile, only her upper body leaning forward continuously. So when she leaned close to the guildmaster, the two slippery blobs pressed against the guildmaster, forming a zig-zag shape.
First came the coolness carried by the water droplets on her skin, followed by the spreading warmth on her snow-like skin, like gentle ripples.
The intermingling of cold and hot, extremely sensitive.
Even the usually composed the guildmaster was unsettled by Loria's actions, feeling like taking a step back.
But just as she leaned her body backwards, she realized that if she did so, Loria would definitely lose support and fall into the water with a splash.
The guildmaster had no choice but to press her back down.
It was a slightly peculiar sensation, stimulating the depths of her mind like an electric current.
But after taking a few deep breaths, she returned to normal.
At this moment, Loria leaned close to her ear, speaking in a low voice, "That night, didn't you all carry me into the house? After that, I remember someone doing this and that to me..."
After saying a lot of inappropriate words for children, she changed the topic of her speech.
"You definitely know who that person was on that night, so don't hide it from me, the guildmaster."
As Loria kept talking, she noticed that the guildmaster's expression became extremely strange.
Without hesitation, she grabbed the guildmaster's hand, preparing to prove her honesty through actions and "force" the guildmaster to tell the truth.
"If you don't believe me, try touching it with your hand and you'll know."
Seeing her hand already brought to Loria's belly, the guildmaster quickly held Loria's hand tightly.
"No need to try, I know."
Whew~
Loria breathed a sigh of relief.
Has the guildmaster finally spoken?
But soon she became nervous again.
The answer is about to be revealed, and it's hard not to feel anxious at this time.
Just as she was feeling anxious, the guildmaster nodded and said, "That night, after coming out of the bathroom, it was Yukihime who took you back to your room."
"Ah, this."
Loria was startled.
No wonder that person ran away after fighting with her for a while.
Although the guildmaster wasn't in great shape either, according to the simulation results, the guildmaster wouldn't lose so quickly. They would at least fight for a few days before surrendering.
She couldn't help but feel conflicted as she stared at the guildmaster, who had a calm expression.
Something is wrong.
Even though Yukihime looks quite tempting, we still need to consider the order of events.
She needs to establish a relationship with the guildmaster first, then there will be plenty of opportunities to do something behind the guildmaster's back with Yukihime.
But if something happens with Yukihime first, with the guildmaster's honest nature, he definitely wouldn't do anything to betray Yukihime and Loria.
Sob, sob.
The guildmaster, my love...
Loria was feeling resentful inside, when suddenly the guildmaster said, "After Yukihime stumbled out of your room, I went in to take a glance."
"Huh?"
Loria widened her eyes.
The person who came in later is actually not the same person who escaped earlier, can you believe it?
She thought the person who escaped had become addicted, took a break, and then came back to continue fighting with her.
If the guildmaster didn't lie, does that mean she bullied both Miss Plump Sheep and the guildmaster that night?
Oh my!
Even Loria couldn't help but feel shy.
O(*///▽///*)q
It's too much, this makes her look very promiscuous, how could she be like that...
"As soon as I entered, I saw you sitting on the ground with your legs apart, with a very strange expression on your face, and your hands couldn't stop moving. So, I had to find a way to restrain you."
Loria："..."
Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could she possibly do such a thing.
Yes, it's all because of Miss Plump Sheep. If Miss Plump Sheep hadn't deliberately provoked her and then run away halfway, she would never have shown such an ugly side!
Let's go, let's go find Miss Plump Sheep and cause trouble.
Loria turned her head and was about to escape.
But as soon as she turned around, the guildmaster grabbed her hand.
"The massage isn't over yet, so behave and lie down by the pool."
Why are you still massaging at this time?
But the guildmaster's strength surprised Loria, and in just a few moves, she was pressed down by the guildmaster at the edge of the pool.
The guildmaster was standing behind her buttocks at this moment, and the posture seemed a bit odd.
Hello, you wouldn't be up to no good under the name of a massage, would you?
I'm telling you, I'm not interested at all!
Loria's bottom secretly lifted, but after waiting for a long time, she only got a massage on her shoulders.
What on earth?
Her body relaxed and she slumped by the pool.
While the guildmaster kneaded her shoulders, he said, "I didn't take that to heart. If you feel uncomfortable, I can give it back to you once."
"！"
Loria raised her head slightly.
Once?
One time is not enough, she wants many, many times, enough to make up a lifetime.
But she won't say those words now.
If the guildmaster rejects her, it will be embarrassing.
Just enjoy the happiness of this moment.
In an instant, the bath was filled with mist and the sound of water gushing.
...
"Oh, is Sister Vita taking a bath too?"
Loria walked out of the bathroom and saw Vita wiping her wet hair at the door of the adjacent bathroom.
Just as Vita turned her head, the guildmaster walked out from behind Loria.
Vita nodded with a smile, "I haven't had a proper bath in these past few days, but after just finishing one, I feel much more relaxed."
The guildmaster said, "I'll go help Doris take a bath."
After saying that, she left.
Loria chatted casually with Vita for a few more sentences before returning to the room.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, she rested her cheek on her right hand and suddenly felt a bit regretful.
If Vita and Doris weren't here, could she take the opportunity to do something naughty with the guildmaster?
Actually, it's not too bad with Vita around. She is a calm person and wouldn't cause any trouble.
But it's different with Doris. She might just come running in when things get a little naughty.
"What are you guys doing?"
"Nothing, nothing."
"You're lying, it's obvious by how happy your shouts were. No, I want to play too!"
Loria felt like Doris would most likely say that.
If the person saying this is Miss Plump Sheep, then she would definitely pull someone along directly.
But if it's Doris, she wouldn't dare, would she? She would definitely suffer a heavy blow, right?
Ugh, I don't want to think about this anymore, let's quickly start a new simulation.
Loria first looked at her identity card.
[Attributes]: Strength 126, Agility 101, Stamina 223, Intelligence 61, Spirit 158, Charm 14.
Her basic attributes have already increased to a level that is unmatched by ordinary people.
Now, she can proudly say that she is an excellent female knight.
Dragon Lady?
The Dragon Lady would be paralyzed if she rode on her back!
[Life Simulator has started]
Before going to sleep, Loria performed two simulations in a row.
In both of these simulations, her main focus was to find out the movements of the Hidden Leader, without getting involved with the guildmaster and her friends.
Hard work pays off, after successfully quitting her addiction, she gathered a considerable amount of information, including the Hidden Leader's marching route and battle tactics.
Early in the morning, Loria immediately compiled this information into a book and submitted it to the Imperial Government and the Goddess Church.
As a law-abiding citizen, she certainly didn't want the Hidden Leader to succeed. She only hoped that her small efforts could change the outcome of the war.
But it was heartbreaking to see that after sending out the two letters, they disappeared without a trace.
In reality, Loria waited for two days, but in the simulation, she waited for more than twenty days.
During this time, she didn't receive any replies from the Imperial government. Instead, all she saw was the Hidden Leader advancing rapidly, constantly narrowing the Empire's military front and getting closer to the Imperial capital.
"Oh no!"
Loria didn't fully believe the simulation results, but the newspapers she bought in the past few days made it hard for her to not feel pessimistic.
At first, these newspapers were criticizing the Hidden Leader, but now they were interviewing various experts who all expressed their pessimism. Some even started praising the Hidden Leader directly.
[This is the only way to overthrow the corrupt dynasty.]
[The war led by the Hidden Leader is the people's accusation against the Empire's tyranny. This war will bring a new breeze to the continent of Ozel, creating a brand new and fair country and guiding humans and monsters towards true peace.]
When Loria checked the headquarters of that newspaper, she discovered that it was indeed located in the area occupied by the Hidden Leader.
It seems like everyone takes this public opinion battle seriously.
Loria shook her head and sighed, thinking it was all over.
Starting from the third day, instead of focusing on finding out the Hidden Leader's movements, she began searching for a suitable hiding place after the empire fell.
With the narrow-mindedness of Hidden Leader and his group, they would definitely not spare her after they succeeded. She had to be prepared.
And so, Miss Dark Moon Prophet's grand continent tour began!
This was no ordinary journey. While wandering around, Loria didn't forget to seize the opportunity to improve her own abilities.
The method was very simple.
In this day and age, it was very difficult to improve oneself by staying isolated. She knew very well that only by expanding her horizons, opening doors, and engaging with the various beautiful girls outside, trading and sharing, could she absorb enough knowledge to enhance herself.
It was indeed quite tiring to do so, but there was no other choice.
"How can we defeat those troublesome enemies if we don't do this? I'll endure the hardship myself. Once we find a safe hiding place, we won't need to go out and visit others anymore. We can invite them directly to come to us."
When Miss Dark Moon Prophet realized that everything she did wasn't just for satisfying desires, her determination became extremely strong.
Every time they met, she used all her abilities, and under her influence, those beautiful girls all gave her the highest praise by rolling their eyes in awe.
It's said that one should love what they do, and Loria is proud of her dedication and professionalism.
Looking at it from a different perspective, this is what they call giving your all in the spirit of a knight. the guildmaster probably wouldn't just appreciate her, but also consider her as a role model among succubi.
Ugh.
What succubus? Clearly, she's a role model among female bodhisattvas.
Unfortunately, Loria has already traveled around the empire's borders but still hasn't found a suitable hiding place. Instead, stories about female demons started spreading among the common folk of the Oder Empire in simulations.
[Ever since I had contact with that female demon, my wife keeps saying I have a weak back and that I'm useless.]
[My wife has been wanting a divorce lately. She used to think that her sexual orientation was normal, but now she suddenly realizes that she is attracted to women.]
[The witch is trying to steal my wife, and I will not tolerate it!]
Okay.
Loria doesn't think it's her fault.
She didn't use force, and she did all of this not for her own benefit, but to defeat the wicked Hidden Leader.
Looking at it from a different perspective, she feels that what she did is similar to when Kakarot defeated his evil opponent with a powerful energy blast.
The only difference is that Kakarot only needs to raise his hands, but she has to personally go and gather strength from door to door, which may cause some conflicts in the process.
At the climax of the simulation, Miss Dark Moon Prophet, who couldn't find a place to hide, faces the incoming Hidden Leader assassins without any fear.
The effect of the Crowd of Dark Moon is that for every person she fully commits to doing bad things, she gains a new attribute.
After touring the empire, her abilities increased to a very scary level.
Who needs an assassin? She can just poke her finger and make the blood flow!
Hidden Leader didn't give up. They sent even more powerful people from three different places, and in the end, Loria was defeated because there were too many enemies.
"Tsk."
Loria reluctantly forgave Hidden Leader because she gained 7 points of endurance in this practice.
She can do what others can't. That's who she is.
Regular geishas don't have the same strength as her.
On the eighth day of running away with Vita, Loria saw an interesting piece of news in the newspaper.
"The emperor invited his magical teacher, who used to be the esteemed principal of the empire's biggest magic academy. His students are all over the empire, and he is one of the best. With him guarding the capital city, Hidden Leader won't be able to attack it."
Loria pursed her lips.
Is it already time to start the rehearsal for the defense battle in the Imperial Capital?
This is something that has never happened in the simulation. With the magic teacher stepping in, maybe they can really stop the Hidden Leader.
...
September 2nd.
Loria, who was strolling in the western border of the empire, suddenly received news.
The Emperor's magic teacher surrendered to the Hidden Leader!
