Chapter 2: How Can You Falsely Accuse Someone?
Loria was very angry.
She was a bit lazy, but overall, she was a righteous female knight.
Don't you see the iron medal on her chest? It's irrefutable evidence!
Even though she doesn't need to personally engage in battles with monsters anymore, her heart always stands alongside adventurers.
"I cannot give in just because I find being squeezed by Queen Slime comfortable, can I?"
There was absolutely no possibility of that happening.
This garbage simulator was lying!
But even though there were complaints, the rewards still needed to be carefully studied.
Loria gently tapped the white-glowing [Endurance Enhancement] with her mind, and the explanatory text immediately popped up.
[Endurance Enhancement] - Strengthening of Durability
[F-grade reward (white)]
[You were born different from others. The sensitivity of your body is several times higher than that of an average woman. Even pain caused by impacts brings you great comfort. After activating this skill, the sensitivity of your body will increase by 15%.]
"???"
Loria, a girl standing at the street corner, almost jumped up in anger after reading the description of the reward.
Nonsense.
Do you think I'm a masochist, enjoying getting hit with pleasure?
How could I not have known about such a thing?
She gave her cheek a strong tug, feeling only pain spreading within her body.
"Miss Loria, Miss Loria?"
Suddenly, a voice whispered in her ear.
Loria looked up and standing before her was Li Wei, the passing town inspector.
"Mr. Li Wei, do you have something to tell me?"
Inspector Li Wei looked concerned and said, "I noticed you pinching your own face, you seem a bit unwell."
"…"
Loria gave a light cough and said, "I stayed up quite late last night, so I'm feeling a bit tired."
Inspector Li Wei said, "Miss Loria, you should also learn to balance work and rest. There are always unfinished tasks."
Loria smiled professionally and said, "I will take note of that. Thank you for your concern."
Li Wei couldn't help but feel emotional.
Creek Town is a small town situated on the outskirts of the Oder Empire, where wild monsters can be found everywhere.
Like him, the patrol officer can only manage the public order, while truly the ones that keep Creek Town safe from monster attacks are the large number of adventurers and the Adventurers Management Guild that provides strong logistical support for adventurers.
Miss Loria just joined the Adventurers Management Guild this year, and in just two months she has shown an astonishing dedication to her work that is truly commendable!
She often stayed up late at home to handle work-related matters. In the guild, she always wore a smile that brought joy to people, and there were even rumors that she could stare at a report all day without moving a muscle, trying to solve a difficult problem. She wouldn't even notice when the guildmaster walked up to her.
If someone like Miss Loria, a role model in the workplace, were to fall ill, the work at the Adventurers Management Guild would certainly be affected, wouldn't it?
Ah, he sighed.
These days, if everyone could be as hardworking and diligent as Miss Loria, Creek Town would surely become even more prosperous.
Miss Loria, you must learn to balance work and rest. Don't exhaust yourself!
As Li Wei watched Loria walking and yawning, he respectfully bowed from afar.
Salute!
Loria, who couldn't fathom what others were thinking, let out a sigh.
Her spirits were indeed not very good, but who could blame her? She had stayed up late last night reading comic books.
Upon reaching the association, she switched to a low energy mode and spent the day idling away!
"We don't need to extract the durability enhancement right away. Let's see if there are better rewards."
Loria continued studying the simulator.
Because the previous simulation was a beginner's experience, Loria still had one more chance to simulate for free today.
"Why I was caught just now, it's because I took the main road after receiving the mission. So this time, as long as I take a small road instead, it will be fine!"
Once upon a time.
Lines of text appeared before Loria's eyes.
[Day 1: Slacking off at Work]
[Day 2: Because it was the weekend, you were slacking off at home]
"Was it the same for the previous few days?"
Loria lightly pinched her chin.
In that aspect, it seemed quite reasonable.
After all, her daily routine was just a cycle of slacking off, so it would be abnormal for any other incidents to occur.
On the fifteenth day, the simulation finally took a turn.
[Day 15: You received a task from the association to deliver a document to the neighboring town. After leaving the village, you intentionally chose a seldom traversed path. The air was filled with the scent of flowers and the sound of birds, enchanting and immersive. As you continued on your way, you suddenly found yourself surrounded by a group of green-skinned orc-like creatures.]
Loria had a feeling that something wasn't right.
[Five green-skinned orc-like creatures pinned you down to the ground and took turns attacking you. After a grueling two hours, as you gazed at the dewdrops glistening on the nearby grass and leaves, you realized you were no longer pure. However, there was no escape for you, as the orc-like creatures brought you back to their camp and locked you inside a tent.]
[Day 16: Five green-skinned orc-like creatures entered the tent.]
[Day 17: Ten green-skinned orc-like creatures entered the tent.]
[Day 18: Fifteen green-skinned orc-like creatures entered the tent, and you said, "Let the storm come stronger."]
[Day 19: One exhausted orc-like creature fainted inside the tent, and the other orc-like creatures erupted into a massive battle to win you over. Due to your presence, Creek Town's orc camp suffered the largest casualties in history. In the end, they had no choice but to reach a compromise and sign the Loria Seven-Part Agreement. From that day onwards, from Monday to Sunday, you lived a life of utmost happiness as the most privileged person.]
[The simulation concluded]
[Conclusion reached: The orc-like creatures found a common bond]
[Congratulations to the player for achieving the accomplishment "Monster Hunter" and receiving an additional reward of +1 stamina]
[Congratulations to the player for achieving an F-grade evaluation, earning the reward of Craftsman Apprenticeship]
"?"
Can I make orc women exhausted and earn the title of Monster Hunter?
What a joke!
If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't reach, Loria would have hit this simulator.
"How could you unjustly tarnish someone's innocence? A pure and honorable young girl like me would surely have been mercilessly killed by the evil green-skinned orc ladies right away, and even if I didn't die, I would immediately commit suicide to prove my innocence!"
Simulate again!
Loria felt frustrated.
Both taking the main road and the side roads could lead to accidents. Should I just not go to the head office?
She gritted her teeth and spent 10 Oder coins to purchase a new chance for simulation.
After using up the free daily simulation chance, the second simulation would cost 10 Oder coins, and then each subsequent time would be ten times the previous cost.
And Loria's daily wage was 100 Oder coins.
"This is a whole 10 Oder coins!"
Loria covered her chest, feeling a deep pain in her heart.
[Day 1: Slacking off at work]
…
[Day 15: You took a sick leave and didn't go to work.]
[Day 16: Playing around at work]
Watching the string of "playing around" that popped up behind, Loria let out a sigh of relief.
Finally, things were back to normal.
But before she could fully relax, a line of glaring words suddenly appeared.
[Day 25: A monster tide erupted, and despite fierce resistance, Creek Town was eventually overrun. During your escape, you were apprehended by a skeletal lady, who happened to mention that this monster tide seemed to be orchestrated by someone in secret.]
"What?"
Loria was startled, too occupied to pay attention to the simulated rewards.
Twenty-five days later, there was a carefully planned monster tide.
If this were true, she had to do something quickly, otherwise she would either die or become a play toy of some skeletal lady!
