You sneaked into my simulation world and started spamming the panel

Thank you.

"A friendly reminder from Belis: find an inn to stay at first, then go to the tavern and ask the adventurers there for information. They know where the most monsters are, otherwise you'll waste your time searching for them, which isn't worth it."

Chloris nodded, and she and Lotte walked out of the Adventurers' Guild together.

The Shiraishi Hotel is just a short distance ahead.

When checking in, Lott said he wanted three rooms, one of which had a bathroom, but Chloris refused.

"Shouldn't we fight the monsters all night tonight and save it for tomorrow?"

"That's possible, but you can't just book one room."

"It's to save money," Chloris gently patted Lotte's shoulder. "Wouldn't it be better to save it for meeting girls?"

The three of them put their luggage away in the room and left the inn, heading towards the tavern in town.

As dusk settled, the town grew increasingly lively under the fiery red sunset.

The raid quest has not yet been announced, and the adventurers are unaware of it at all. As usual, they are playing rock-paper-scissors and drinking in a tavern.

Hagen entered the tavern first, and the strong smell of alcohol made Lotte squint.

Just as he was about to walk inside, Chloris gently tugged at his collar.

“Lotte, um... could I borrow your coat? I lost my hat and it doesn't cover my face. I know this sounds a bit narcissistic, but if I go in, everyone will be staring at me.”

"After all, Miss Chloris is very charming."

Lott took off his coat and handed it to Chloris, who put on her hood to cover her face, and went into the tavern with Lott.

"Hello, hello! There's a seat here, please come and sit down!"

The waitress walking in front of Lotte wore an incredibly short skirt; the fabric underneath was visible as she swayed with her movements.

After settling down in a corner, Lotte ordered a glass of warm milk for Chloris and a glass of iced ale for himself.

He doesn't drink before he acts, but it would be strange if both of them ordered warm milk in the tavern.

"Lotte, can we really get any information?" Chloris peeked at the unfamiliar adventurers around her from under her hood. "They're very wary of unfamiliar adventurers and won't easily reveal information."

The adventurers around him glanced at Lotte from time to time, very wary of him, and spoke in much quieter voices.

After all, the number of monsters and quests is limited, and if outsiders hear about it, they will earn less money.

Chloris took a small sip of warm milk, then glanced furtively at Lotte, "You... why don't you go and chat up a girl?"

"How could you even think of that!"

"What should we do then?"

Lotte tapped his fingers on the table. "I just gave Hagen a silver coin so he can drink whatever he wants tonight. That's what we agreed on from the beginning."

Hagen is not participating in this expedition; he's only here to help Lotte forge weapons.

"so what?"

"Don't underestimate Hagen's friendliness."

Hagen has already become one of the adventurers.

The blacksmith and the adventurers got along very well, and when they learned that Hagen and the blacksmith of White Rock Town were related, they immediately accepted Hagen.

Soon, after several cheers, Hagen was flushed from drinking.

He got up and swayed toward the bar, quietly tossing a piece of paper behind him as he passed Lotte.

Lott picked it up discreetly and examined the location on it.

"The lake to the west has ice slimes, the grasslands to the north have cavalry goblins, and to the east are dryads and linco giant ants. The single twin nuns often go for walks in the woods late at night... wait, that's not it."

Lott put the note away and hid it. "The mission starts in an hour. We'll go west to hunt ice slimes first. By the time the adventurers realize what's happening, we'll be in the east. If we're efficient, we can even go north to fight some goblins."

Today, Lotte earned 10 silver coins from a single [Explosion] spell. All he can say right now is:

I have to be all!

If you're lucky, you can easily earn dozens of silver coins, or even nearly a gold coin.

After the quest is over, Lotte can go to the blacksmith to forge weapons. By then, he won't be short of money and can use the best materials to make them.

"We have to hunt down so many monsters?" Chloris raised an eyebrow. "I was originally planning to take down a few... Are you sure it's okay?"

“The monsters around Whitestone Town aren’t very dangerous. Besides, Miss Chloris is protecting me.” Lotte stood up and extended his hand to Chloris. “Let’s go.”

Lotte's breathing meditation allowed him to fight continuously without needing to replenish his energy. With Chloris's protection, the two of them were more than capable of clearing out the low-level monsters in the vicinity.

The two walked onto the streets of Whitestone. By now it was completely dark, and the distant church emitted a gentle white light, symbolizing an inextinguishable hope.

The two returned to the hotel to retrieve their equipment. Lotte went downstairs first and left, while Chloris changed her clothes in her room.

After changing, Chloris draped Lotte's coat over her arm and headed downstairs.

At the corner of the stairs, a hooded woman was walking uphill.

As they drew closer, the figure beneath the hood gradually came into view.

Those were ice-blue eyes.

Chloris brushed past the other person, but the color of their eyes seemed very familiar to her.

She slowly stopped, turned around and looked at the other person again, only to find that the other person was also looking at her from the steps.

The two stopped on the stairs, one going up and one going down, staring at each other.

Chapter 37 Fireworks Under the Night Sky

Chloris spoke first: "Do you know me?"

The girl in the grey cloak shook her head, then bowed to Chloris and turned to walk upstairs.

Chloris found it strange. She waited a little longer and saw that the other person opened the door to the room next to Lotte's, went in, and then closed the door.

The other person's beautiful ice-blue eyes likely belonged to a prominent family. But Chloris couldn't quite place which family they belonged to.

Chloris went downstairs while thinking about it and came to Lotte's side.

Seeing Chloris's furrowed brow, Lott asked, "What's wrong?"

"I just ran into our employer."

"The employer? Is it someone from that powerful family?"

"Of course it wasn't them; it was probably scouts sent to explore. The room they're going to stay in is right next to ours."

"Oh? We're not going to run into them, are we? Dealing with nobles is so troublesome, having to bow and all that."

"They must have checked in secretly and wouldn't have deliberately revealed their identities. Judging by the time, they won't arrive in Whitestone Town until after our campaign is over."

Chloris was right; Isolde's carriage would take more than a day to reach Whitestone Town.

The night in Whitestone Town was quiet, and Lotte and Chloris quietly left.

They headed straight for the lake to the west, intending to hunt ice slimes.

Under the moonlight, the ice slimes surrounding the lake shimmered, and wisps of icy mist rose around them.

Chloris donned a tight-fitting cloth armor that accentuated her curvaceous figure. Close-fitting trousers hugged her long, slender legs, and her black boots landed softly on the ground without making a sound.

She and Lott crouched in the grass, gazing at the vast, reflective lake in the distance.

Lotte turned his head and saw Chloris's fair profile, her amber eyes filled with excitement.

"Chloris, the Ice Slimes aren't hard to defeat; what we lack most is time. We need to wipe them out before the other adventurers come out."

"clear."

"Go and lure them."

Chloris turned around, staring wide-eyed at Lotte, "Me?"

“It’s about gathering them all together, then I’ll hide behind and cast the spell.” Lott patted Chloris on the shoulder. “How about we split the profits 20/80 afterwards?”

"Why only 20/80?" Chloris was getting anxious. She didn't care about any aristocratic etiquette anymore. She leaned close to Lotte and said, word by word, "I want 50/50."

"I'm a mage, I should at least get 70% of it, right?"

Chloris bit her lip lightly, and Lotte felt that she was about to pounce on him and bite him at any moment.

He compromised, saying, "Okay, okay, fifty-fifty it is."

"That's more like it."

Chloris stood up and tied her light blonde hair into a high ponytail. "Master Lotte, please don't hit me."

After saying that, she held a shield in one hand and a gun in the other, and charged down the slope of the lawn toward the ice slimes.

The ice slimes quickly discovered the intruder. They began to hop around, and the icy vapors they emitted caused a thin layer of ice to form on the surrounding lake surface.

A giant ice slime swallowed a smaller ice slime beside it, then aimed at Chloris, who was charging towards it, its body glowing blue as it unleashed its unique skill.

The ice slime in its mouth flew out like a missile, covering the lawn with a layer of ice sand wherever it went.

As Chloris watched the ice slime grow larger in her field of vision, she did not choose to dodge. Instead, she raised the shield in her left hand and used the momentum of her forward charge to block the opponent's attack head-on.
