Chapter 47: Miss Knight Never Forgets Her Original Intention
Loria, of course, could not directly discuss adult topics like geishas with Vita.
She was actually an innocent young girl.
So pure that some girls her age were already married, yet she had never even experienced a first encounter.
Therefore, discussing such topics directly was still too early for her.
But that doesn't mean Loria couldn't approach Vita, after all, she was a female knight.
Isn't it perfectly normal for a righteous female knight who had fought day and night against monster girls to want to understand their physical structure and characteristics?
Not only was it perfectly normal, but it also showed great ambition!
Believe me, everyone would understand her heartfelt efforts.
As the saying goes, "Know thyself, know thy enemy, and you shall never be defeated."
"Only by understanding the structure and characteristics of the monster girls, can I easily make them bow before me... Er, my throat suddenly feels uncomfortable just now, what I meant to say was bow before my unbeatable swordsmanship!"
Loria pressed her hands on the table, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Up until now, she had battled with over a dozen different types of monster girls in the simulator. After careful reflection, she realized that the most formidable opponent was none other than the Slime Girl.
She was able to laugh triumphantly time and time again in her encounters with the monster girls, all thanks to her frighteningly sturdy health bar.
Many of the monster girls appeared fierce, immediately pinning her down and rubbing her helplessly on the ground, flipping her over and attacking any vulnerable spot they desired.
But what use did it have?
In battle, the result is what matters most.
The person who could stand up in the end is the true winner!
While Loria encountered various monster girls, the slime girl happened to be the one with the best physical strength and abundant moisture. This meant that defeating each slime girl took her more time and drained her energy even more.
If she were to face over two hundred slime girls in the simulation, Loria felt that she would never be able to hold on until the guildmaster arrived.
This made her feel a deep sense of crisis.
Even if it wasn't to strengthen the Monster Girl's Boots, she still wanted to figure out the slime girl's weakness, just in case!
"Vita, please, you must help me. I want to make more contributions to Creek Town!"
Vita lifted the big cup in her hand and took a sip of locally brewed beer from Creek Town.
"Actually, this question is quite perplexing to me," she said, "I don't necessarily know more about Monster Girls than you do."
"How could it be? You don't often go to bawdyhouses and encounter magical creatures..."
Vita explained, "My job is to introduce the porn industry to tourists from different places. When I go to bawdyhouses, it's for interviewing the shop owners, geishas, and customers. Even if I were to experience the services offered in the establishment, it would at most be limited to basic services like foot baths and massages. These are enough for me to understand the service attitude and environment of a bawdyhouse. If I were to delve any deeper, it would definitely interfere with my work. I'm quite busy, you know."
"..."
Nonsense, Do you really think I'm an innocent girl who knows nothing?
If you were truly busy, how come you're still here drinking?
Vita seemed to have seen through Loria's thoughts in an instant. "This time it's different. I have already made up my mind to quit. After finishing this job, I'll find something more peaceful, a job that doesn't require running around, and enjoy my retirement."
Is it true?
Darn it.
In that case, wouldn't her only option be to collect picture books at a bawdyhouse?
She couldn't intentionally lose the battle like in the simulation, and have the Monster Girl carry her back, could she?
"I don't understand, but I have information about this," Vita suddenly said.
"Really?"
"It is a guidebook written by the special team, but the content is somewhat exposed. It can be considered as an internal document."
Once it's exposed, it's exposed.
In order to protect everyone from the intrusion of monster girls, she with her righteous spirit felt it necessary to make a sacrifice and learn these physiological knowledge that is not suitable for children to see.
"Great, full of courage, come have a drink!"
Vita pushed a brimming glass of wine in front of Loria.
Loria quickly shook her head and instinctively protected her bottom.
Vita looked at Loria's uneasy expression and smiled admiringly. Knowing that Loria had little resistance to alcohol, she worried that if Loria had a few more drinks, she might end up being carried away by Vita and grow up before her time.
Never underestimate Vita, a woman with potential criminal tendencies!
It was half past six.
When Loria was still trying to pry Vita's identity, Guildmaster Adeline suddenly walked into the tavern.
The once noisy tavern immediately fell silent, and Vita's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Guildmaster?"
Loria was surprised, completely taken aback by the guildmaster's unexpected appearance.
Adeline completely ignored Vita.
"You asked me to practice with you yesterday, didn't you? I'm all prepared now, so come back with me."
Loria decided to pass on that, as she didn't want to be trained.
Being alive has already been exhausting for her, and she just wanted to lie down and not do any exercise.
Of course, it would be nice if there were any magical tools that, when worn, could increase endurance.
But seeing the guildmaster's posture, it was certain that she wasn't there to give her that kind of tool.
"Guildmaster, I don't feel well today. How about we do it tomorrow?"
Loria intentionally pressed her stomach.
Adeline remained unaffected, saying, "To train endurance, the most important thing is to never slack off!"
How could slacking off for just one day be considered laziness? Tomorrow, I promise, tomorrow for sure!
"No," Adeline said firmly.
"Guildmaster!"
"Did you forget what you said to me last night?"
That was my mistake!
"If I could start over, I swear, I wouldn't say those foolish words.
Unable to resist, Loria was directly taken away by the guildmaster.
"Take care."
Vita smiled and waved, completely concealing what she was thinking inside her heart.
"Goodbye."
Adeline gave Vita a cold aristocratic greeting.
After leaving the tavern, her eyes landed on the book that Loria was holding.
"What is this?"
"Science book, it is a science book."
Loria answered nervously.
If the guildmaster were to see the contents of the book, her lifelong reputation would be ruined!
Luckily, the guildmaster didn't inquire further.
But Loria realized that she had fallen into a pit. The guildmaster had never been this strict before, so why did she suddenly react so strongly today? Could it be that her words from last night had triggered the guildmaster?
The guildmaster's first exercise in endurance training-
She squatted in a horse stance, and not just any stance, but on top of a burning brazier.
What kind of devilish training is this, punishing succubi?
I am not a succubus, you know!
If I accidentally sit into the brazier, it won't just burn my crotch, but much more. It might be better to place a sharp spike underneath instead.
While squatting, at least in this way, one wouldn't feel the scorching heat.
Luckily, Loria is a seasoned warrior, with unexpectedly great endurance. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to hold on.
To avoid the guildmaster from employing even more dreadful training methods, Loria had to pretend as if she was about to collapse any moment.
"I want... I can't anymore... *sob*..."
Adeline nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Being a knight is not something that comes easily. A true knight must endure countless hardships. Since your foundation is weak, I won't teach you advanced skills right from the start. Once we have solidified your basics, then we can move on to real combat."
Staring at that beautiful, yet somewhat distant face, Loria began to ponder earnestly about the future of depending on others for her livelihood.
The experiences of these days almost made her forget her original intentions.
"Up until now, I've been doing this and that, all just to be able to lay low. Lying under the guildmaster's leadership is also a way of laying down!"
The guildmaster's endurance wasn't that great, so she would surely be able to easily handle the guildmaster when the time came. The only thing to be careful about was to control the intensity, so as not to let the guildmaster's life end prematurely.
Then, as long as she could gain the guildmaster's family approval, the entire Lidilia family would be within her grasp!
From a village girl to the controller of a count's territory, she soared!
What use is there in still being a knight?
Okay.
Once we've dealt with the wave of monsters, we'll search for a way to earn the approval of the guildmaster's family!
After taking a bath and having dinner, Loria embarked on a new adventure.
[The Life Simulator has been activated.]
[Day 1: You spent the entire evening studying a guidebook on geisha appreciation. The book's rich knowledge left you greatly astonished and enriched with valuable insights.]
[Day 2: Creek Town remained lively today, with Guildmaster Adeline promoting you to be her secretary. After finishing work in the afternoon, you began secretly investigating Felix. To your surprise, Felix didn't return to the apartment assigned by the guild. Several times, you came close to being discovered, but in the end, you followed Felix to a unfamiliar house.]
"Wow, did you make a big discovery right at the beginning of your investigation?"
Loria became excited.
Charge ahead!
