Chapter 59: Don't Hinder Me, Loria, From Making Money!
With a plan in place, it is only natural to evaluate the feasibility of the plan.
For Loria, it was not difficult to exhaust the monster girl and secretly take away the money without anyone noticing.
"I couldn't defeat the tree spirit, and couldn't even bully a few weak monster girls, could I?"
37 points of basic endurance is not something you can just brag about, you know!
What she really needs to worry about is that once she gets in that state, those monster girls become especially gluttonous. Even if she has already exhausted her stamina, they will continue sticking to her, just like she's a succubus.
This was not a good sign.
In case a monster girl were to suddenly lose her breath while battling her, the other monster girls would probably chase her relentlessly.
After the situation became serious, it would be difficult for her to go to other monster girl tribes to earn money.
"Also, by the sixth day, the mysterious figure had already begun sneaking around between different monster tribes. If unlucky enough to bump into them, it would be a disaster."
Be careful and let's start with the Water Spirit Tribe and the Slime Girl Tribe.
She did as she said.
[Day 7: These past few days, the guildmaster had assigned you a lot of tasks. You worked diligently until almost quitting time to complete all your work. Just before leaving, you purposely drank a lot of water, just in case.]
[After work, you avoided the attention of everyone and prepared to head towards the Water Spirit Tribe, wearing your equipment. However, just as you were halfway there, Guildmaster Adeline suddenly stopped you, wanting to pull you back to tend to the bonfire.]
[You said that you had an important matter and needed to go out for a while. The guildmaster said that training should not be paused and added that if you truly had something important to attend to, you could inform her, and she would accompany you to handle it together.]
"Oh no, why is it always at these crucial moments? I don't want to squat by the fire pit, it's such a hassle to squat just to change my pants every time!"
Loria gritted her teeth in anger.
The guildmaster, while usually appearing kind, would become extremely strict once she took something seriously, like a ruthless executioner.
Hmph.
Trying to escape?
Loria couldn't resist.
How could she possibly bring the guildmaster along to do such things?
If she really goes, I'm afraid that as soon as she arrives at the destination, the guildmaster will beat her butt to a pulp.
"We can only come again tomorrow."
["You have no choice but to go back with the guildmaster," said the guildmaster with a knowing expression on her face, as if she knew you wanted to slack off.]
[Day 8: Seizing a break from work, you went to bring some food to Doris. You noticed that Doris had gotten stronger again, but despite consuming so many minerals, her physical appearance hadn't changed noticeably.]
[After work, you were stopped by Vita, who secretly approached you. She had a brief conversation with you about the Claren City investigation team. She told you not to be nervous, but you didn't pay much attention. The most urgent matter was to figure out a way to make money.]
[After finally sending off Vita, you hadn't walked far when you were captured by the guildmaster.]
"..."
[You had to change your approach. Since you couldn't go in the afternoon, sneaking out at night seemed like a good plan.]
[You waited all night and discovered that the guildmaster was busy attending to official matters in the living room. You couldn't sneak away without catching the guildmaster's attention, so you had to postpone your plan and wait for another opportunity.]
"Oh no, this means two whole days wasted in vain!"
The righteous female knight was so worried that she felt sweat dripping down her forehead.
Can she be patient?
Do you think she's just a money-hungry nobody? You couldn't be more wrong, in fact, she wants to achieve something great!
She sacrifices herself alone to exhaust the energy of those monster girls in advance, so that when the mastermind behind the scenes takes action, these drained monster girls won't be able to attend.
Now, everything is fine.
Having wasted two days, at least dozens of monster girls were able to stay in good condition.
These monster girls didn't use their energy to attack her, so they will definitely have to attack Creek Town later.
As soon as Loria thought about how many people would be injured or even killed because of this, tears welled up in her eyes.
[Day 9: The investigating team that had been investigating for several days is about to leave, but you didn't mind. You came up with a new plan and even told the guildmaster during work that you needed to go home for a visit today. The guildmaster agreed, but only after the completion of the fire pit ritual.]
[After work, drenched in sweat from the fire pit ritual, you hurriedly slipped back home without even taking a bath. First, you took a shower and changed your clothes before heading out again, to avoid being misunderstood as an improper lady knight by the monster girls.]
[But just as you walked two streets away, you encountered the guildmaster. Lately, the people in Creek Town had been filled with anxiety, and she was patrolling to calm the town's residents.]
"..."
[Day 10: You willingly took on a task to deliver a mission scroll to a renowned adventurer, intending to quickly complete it and then make your way towards the water spirit tribe.]
[But halfway through, the guildmaster caught up with you and said that you had forgotten a document, "Since you're already here, let's go together."]
"..."
[Day 11: You pretended to be sick, so the guildmaster wouldn't have to take care of you. You insisted on going to the hospital by yourself, but the guildmaster still insisted on taking you there. However, she had to leave because of work.]
"Yay, I can finally go to have a big battle!"
Loria felt extremely excited in her heart.
Four days had passed, and she had wasted a whole four days. Now, she finally saw a glimmer of hope!
[After finishing your medicine, you were getting ready to sneak away when the guildmaster suddenly returned. She said she was worried about you and wanted to stay here by your side. She assured you not to worry, as she had already taken care of the work.]
"(ノ#>д
They say all things happen in threes, but this has already happened a whole five times.
I knew deep down that the guildmaster was a kind person. She cared so much about me, but...
Do not hinder me, Loria, as I strive to earn money... No, to save Creek Town!
Soon she realized that this couldn't be a coincidence. You can brush off a coincidence once or twice, but five coincidences? Isn't that a bit too much?
Could it be? Could it be? Did the guildmaster know in advance that she would be targeted, so she repeatedly intervened at crucial moments to stop her?
But this time, she didn't mention her plan to anyone during the simulation, right? Surely the guildmaster wouldn't know about things happening in other simulations, would she?
[Unable to contain your emotions any longer, you finally found the guildmaster that evening. The guildmaster remained calm and stated that she had been waiting for this moment for a long time. She admitted that she had deliberately targeted you, but then expressed genuine concern for your well-being.]
[Just when you were puzzled, the guildmaster reached under the table and pulled out a book about parenting. The guildmaster explained that she had seen this book in your room and was worried that you might have been deceived by some adventurer.]
"?"
Just because of that parenting book, she was delayed for a whole five days?
Loria was confused in real life, and Simulated Loria was about to be infuriated as well.
[You realized that there were only five days left until the arrival of the monster tide.]
[In these remaining five days, even if you're not sparring with monster girls every day, you're either on your way to spar with them. The time is just too tight.]
Once she had the money in hand, she still had to find a way to exchange it for Magic Crystal Mine. This would take time.
Allowing Doris to digest these Magic Crystal Mines and convert them into power would also require time.
It was too late.
It was really too late.
[The guildmaster asked you patiently what happened. You said you were fine. The guildmaster told you that you were still young and shouldn't act impulsively. Unable to bear it any longer, you sat directly on the guildmaster's lap.]
[You said you didn't have any other thoughts, you just liked the guildmaster. Liked them so much that you wanted to have a child with the guildmaster, and you couldn't hold back any longer.]
[The guildmaster looked shocked, but feeling you sitting on their lap, they were moved and connected with you. You angrily finished eating and promptly knocked the guildmaster unconscious.]
[Day 12: When you woke up in the morning, the guildmaster stopped you. She said she had realized something, that parenting skills must have other uses, because two women simply couldn't have a child.]
[Caught with no escape, you had to reveal Doris' presence. The guildmaster, angry, asked why you didn't tell her earlier. You explained that you were worried the guildmaster would be dragged into a deadly crisis.]
[The guildmaster took out all of her secret savings and told you to wait for her. She would quickly rush to Claren City and borrow a large sum of money from the bank to purchase the Magic Crystal Mine.]
"Guildmaster."
This time, Loria was completely moved.
