Chapter 17: The Automatic Withdrawal Princess
What can you do with 6000 Oder coins?
In Hop and Skip Slime, you can have 120 experiences of slimy foot massages.
In the Red Rose, you can bravely embark on a game named "One Ride for Thirty".
In the Wild West, you can indulge non-stop for ten days without resting.
In…
"Stop thinking porn!"
Loria shook her head with all her might.
She is currently trying to quit bad thoughts, so how could she think of such things?
What she wanted to do, of course, was to invest these 6000 Oder coins into the simulator and dedicate her life to the great mission of saving Creek Town!
As the saying goes, "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?"
"For the future of the children, for the present of the adults, I must swallow my conscience and take the 3000 Oder coins that should have belonged to Yukihime!"
Loria, with a slow raising of her head, seemed to be enveloped in a radiant light that commanded respect.
Is she a female knight?
"Holy knight!" she exclaimed.
Sacrificing one's conscience for the tranquility of Creek Town, surely everyone would consider such a trade to be a worthwhile deal, wouldn't they?
Believing that Yukihime, even if she discovers the truth, will still understand her heartfelt intentions.
After all, Yukihime is so kind-hearted. Even though she has just arrived in Creek Town, she doesn't want to see such a lively place destroyed by the wave of monsters, does she?
Then it was right.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect your dreams with my own hands!"
Loria walked steadily towards Yukihime.
"Miss Yukihime."
A gentle voice sounded.
At that moment, Yukihime stood bewildered in the corner.
"I… I… killed someone… I…"
Loria grabbed her hand, with a sincere expression on her face. "He is a bad person, and he wanted to hurt you. The fate he met was well-deserved, so you shouldn't blame yourself."
"Okay, I still committed a murder."
Yukihime's face turned pale, and tears seemed to well up in her eyes.
Even though she had killed a bad person, her heart still felt heavy.
"No!" Loria suddenly shouted, "It's not right! You didn't kill anyone, I did!"
"Huh?"
This statement left Yukihime feeling completely bewildered.
Loria began to argue with Miss Yukihime, "Yukihime, what were you originally planning to do?"
"Is it this morning?"
"Sure."
"I want to go to the Adventurers Management Guild to find an adventure team."
Loria asked again, "And then, is it that I called you and asked for your help, am I right?"
Yukihime nodded blankly and said, "Hmm."
Loria said, "Originally, you wouldn't have gotten involved with these people. I used you and turned you into a knife in my hands. Then, I used this 'knife' to kill the villain."
"This…"
"Let's put it this way: someone used a knife to kill another person. So, who is the one responsible for the killing, him or the knife?"
"He is…"
Yukihime Yukihime realized that her mind was having trouble thinking clearly.
Loria sighed helplessly.
ʅ(‾◡◝)ʃ
"It is clear that the person who will be punished is the one who used a knife to kill, and now the situation is the same. I am the one who killed, not the person who was just a tool. So you don't need to blame yourself at all."
Yukihime was startled, "Am I a tool?"
Loria nodded, "Yes, earlier you were my tool, but now you are Yukihime. A tool doesn't need to have its own thoughts, so what happened earlier is as if it never happened to you."
"Hey, I still don't understand."
"A tool doesn't need to understand this. Go, Miss Yukihime, go do what you were supposed to do."
Loria pushed Yukihime out of the bawdyhouse from behind.
She smiled and waved.
"Turn left and keep going to see the Adventurers Management Guild. Goodbye!"
"Ah, this, that… I went, did I go?"
"Go, go!"
Yukihime walked towards the Adventurers Management Guild slowly, taking a few steps and then looking back.
To be honest, she didn't really understand. She had never quite grasped these complicated things, even since she was little.
She liked the Knight's Code, not only because knight stories were interesting, but also because the Knight's Code had a lovable charm within its rigidness.
However, right now she was feeling very good.
"Although I don't know what Miss Loria exactly means, I do know she wants the best for me and doesn't want to see me sad."
Miss Loria is truly a kind-hearted person.
She was not greedy for wealth, she was humble and polite, she didn't use foul language, she had extraordinary abilities, she was brave and fearless, she was honest and upright, she was simply a role model among knights!
Miss Loria, because of your kind intentions, I will do my best to forget about what just happened!
Seeing Yukihime leave, Loria's heart bloomed with joy.
She lacked confidence in her own speech and intelligence, but she had great faith in Yukihime's purity.
In the simulator, she easily persuaded Yukihime to hand over the money with just a few words. There was no reason she couldn't do the same this time and convince Yukihime to go along with her plan.
As it turned out, her feeling was correct.
"Last time, Yukihime gave me 500 Oder coins, and this time she gave me 6000. It's like having an automatic withdrawal princess!"
Loria raised her hand and wiped the corner of her mouth.
She was still thinking about what to do to make money after she spent all five hundred coins in her hand.
Now things were getting better.
If I ever need money in the future, I'll go to Yukihime and withdraw some!
Loria returned to the bawdyhouse and immediately spotted the terrified manager scrambling towards the main entrance as if trying to escape, about to flee in no time.
"Still running, you dare to run, you motherfucker!"
Angry Miss Loria raised her big sword and struck it down upon the head of the bawdyhouse owner.
Knock knock knock~
After a few moments, the owner of the bawdyhouse started pleading for mercy.
He had never felt so powerless before.
"Goodness gracious," he thought to himself, "everything was fine until today. How did I end up encountering such a righteous female knight?"
What happened to the knight's chivalry that they promised?
Loria wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"That was close," she said with relief.
Luckily, she came back just in time, otherwise she would have lost 1000 dollars!
Not long after, Li Wei, the inspector, approached on his own initiative. When he discovered that this bawdyhouse was secretly trafficking slaves, even the mayor was startled.
Miss Loria, the knight among knights, reluctantly accepted the reward of 6000 Oder coins after repeatedly declining it.
"I didn't do much either, I'm so sorry, haha…"
Loria, who had received the money, hurriedly slipped back home, afraid that someone might steal it.
It wasn't until she watched the money being placed into her own piggy bank that she truly felt relieved.
"Tomorrow is the day to go to work. Since there's nothing else to do now, let's pretend again. This time, let's properly test Vita."
Loria opened the simulator.
Right at that moment, she suddenly froze.
"I had already sent those people to the detention center. Why hasn't that special event been completed yet?"
Loria furrowed her brow, realizing she had underestimated the situation.
The true owner of the bawdyhouse hadn't appeared yet.
"I will be in great danger if this happens, right?"
Let's first pretend to see how things go.
Before the official simulation, Loria began reciting the Heart Cleansing Mantra.
"The simulation was approaching, and from that moment on, I vowed to reject all sex until I uncovered the mastermind behind the wave of monsters."
"I will not read R18 novels, I will not touch myself, and I will not visit questionable establishments."
"I will stay away from temptations, avoid sex, and remain dedicated to my duties."
"I am the sharp sword that cuts through sex, the guardian on the Great Wall of Sex."
"I resisted the temptation of the Slime Girl and fended off the ambush of the Orc Girl."
"I offer my life and glory to you, my dearest, tonight and every night!"
After repeating it twenty times, Loria, with utmost devotion, placed a hundred coins into the simulator.
[The Life Simulator has been activated.]
[Day 1: The more you thought about it, the more you felt like someone would persecute you. Unable to sleep, you sought out Guildmaster Adeline, pleading for her protection.]
[Guildmaster Adeline suspected that you had a delusional belief of being persecuted, but she still took you in. She stayed with you near your home for a night, but no abnormalities were found.]
[Upon returning to Guildmaster Adeline's home, you saw her rushing around for you. It deeply touched your heart, and you resolved to repay Guildmaster Adeline by helping her solve her long-standing issue of being single.]
"Why does it feel so rough?"
Loria got so angry that she stood up straight away.
Luckily, the next sentence brought about a twist.
[At a critical moment, you remembered the promise you made. As a result, you pulled back the clothes that you had already taken off your shoulders.]
"Hmm."
Loria breathed a sigh of relief and slumped onto the bed.
Phew, she had a close call. Finally, she was able to quit her bad habit and see some improvement.
She had a feeling that this time, something big was really about to happen!
