The situation is quite clear.

Miss Fat Sheep's reaction was exactly as she had expected.

"Impossible! My father is an upright man; he would never collude with that slave trading organization!"

The girl's face was filled with terror and disbelief.

She tried to throw the ledger away, but as soon as she saw Loria, she started shaking her head and backing away while still holding the ledger.

Loria didn't say much; she couldn't afford to upset Miss Fat Sheep's sensitive heart at this moment.

After Miss Fat Sheep calmed down a bit, she said, "The situation is still uncertain. We can't conclude that your father is guilty based solely on this ledger. Perhaps those evil people are deliberately framing your father?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes!"

Miss Fat Sheep's light green eyes lit up instantly, regaining their vitality.

“My father always taught me to be an upright person. The reason his name appeared on the ledger must be because he was framed by those beasts!”

Seemingly worried that Loria wouldn't believe her, she looked up and continued.

“I know my father’s itinerary these days, Knight Loria. How about this, let’s follow him together. Maybe we can even find out who framed him!”

"Ah."

Let's do it this way.

Loria couldn't think of any other way for the time being. With Miss Fat Sheep covering for her, she figured that even if Coleridge found out, her life wouldn't be in danger.

Without hesitation, Loria immediately took action with Miss Fat Sheep after informing the president of the plan.

Female knight charging: Requesting a day off

I was so sleepy I could barely keep my eyes open, but I'd only written two thousand words. There was still a long way to go before I finished today's writing. I tried to persevere, but I started to doze off as I wrote. When I woke up, I found I'd written a bunch of weird stuff.

I'll just take a day off and update again tomorrow morning to make up for the missed update today.

...

The female knight is charging: 12. Everyone can be their own god [Two-in-One]

Miss Yuki, also known as Fat Sheep, grew up in a single-parent family.

When she was six years old, her mother died in a magical accident, and since then, only she and her father have lived together.

My father never hired servants because he was a renowned magician, and he could easily do housework like cleaning with his magic.

Yuki remembers that before she was ten years old, many people advised her father to remarry, but he refused, saying he was busy with magic research and taking care of his daughter.

"Life is but a few short decades. As we get older, our minds become duller and our bodies become less and less in sync with magic. Therefore, I simply don't have time to pour my feelings into a stranger now. I hope you can understand my predicament."

After these conversations happened many times, no one tried to persuade the father to remarry anymore.

"A pure and devout believer in magic, and a devoted and faithful husband."

Even after many years, Yuki still clearly remembers what others said about her father.

She generally agreed with these assessments, but felt she had to add one more point—

He was also a strict father!

Yes.

Yuki's deepest impression of her father, Korich, was his strictness.

The father's strictness was evident in every aspect.

From a young age, her father strictly controlled her clothing, food, housing, and transportation, and would immediately correct any bad habits he saw in her.

Despite her complaints and running away from home, Yuki-hime didn't actually resent her father.

Because she knew that her father wasn't targeting her; that was just the kind of person he was, and his strictness was evident not only in his attitude towards others but also in his attitude towards himself.

For more than a decade, no matter what happened, Xueji always saw her father dressed neatly and appropriately.

He does his work meticulously, even when washing dishes or sweeping the floor, he can be 100% focused.

Perhaps that's why he was able to make such rapid progress in his magical research?

Yuki couldn't connect her father with that evil and brutal slave-trading organization, no matter how hard she tried.

However, the ledger was right in front of them, and the father's name was clearly written on it.

“Unless this ledger is forged, otherwise…”

Although she had just assured Loria that her father could never be associated with the slave trade, her body still trembled uncontrollably as she followed him from a distance.

What should she do if her father really is involved with that slave trading organization?

Yukihime was so anxious that she almost bumped into a tree by the roadside while walking.

Over the years, her father forced her to do many things she didn't like, such as making her eat slowly, learning magic, and applying to the Imperial Magic Academy. But there was one thing she never resisted, and even embraced.

"Uphold justice and be your own hero!"

Her father repeated this phrase to her like a mantra for several years.

It was under the influence of this sentence that she came to love those wonderful adventure stories.

If her father were truly a bad person, he certainly wouldn't read that sentence to her every day, right?

That's right.

It must be so.

Yukihime's eyes brightened slightly, but the next second they dimmed again.

People change. Good people can turn into bad people, and bad people can turn into good people. Who can guarantee that her father will always be the same as he was back then?

Yuki took a few unsteady steps and suddenly felt a warm hand on her shoulder.

"Are you OK?"

"I'm fine."

Yukihime gently gritted her teeth.

Even if it's bad, it has to be good; she must witness everything that's about to happen with her own eyes.

Loria didn't say much.

She could understand Yukihime's worries. Before speaking out, she had anticipated Yukihime's reaction. She had to admit that Yukihime was much more composed than she had imagined.

At first, she thought Yuki would argue with her, or go directly to confront Korlich.

It seems that Yukihime has grown a lot during her time in Stream Town.

Let's keep it this way!

Loria certainly didn't want Korlich to be involved with the slave trade, as this would put her in a difficult position.

The two men crouched low and continued to follow Kollerridge.

It was still a rainy day.

Holding a brown umbrella, Korlridge first went to a nearby tea restaurant to meet someone, and half an hour later he rushed to the potions market to buy a small bag of magical materials.

As evening approached, he went to his laboratory, which he had set up at the Clarence Magic Academy.

Loria and Yuki waited outside for nearly two hours. Just when they thought their tracking tonight would be fruitless, a blinding light suddenly shone from the laboratory, and even the white dome of the laboratory trembled uncontrollably.

"What happened?" Yuki's expression changed drastically.

Loria pondered, "Could it be that there was an explosion?"

explode?

This word completely terrified Yukihime.

You know, her father is in the laboratory. If the laboratory explodes, can her father's safety be guaranteed?

No longer caring about revealing her whereabouts, Yukihime rushed straight towards the laboratory.

"Hey, wait for me!"

Loria quickly chased after them.

The two arrived at the laboratory entrance one after the other, and sure enough, the laboratory door had been twisted into a pretzel by the shockwave of the explosion.

Yuki kicked the obstructing door away and rushed into the billowing white mist.

"father!"

Anxious shouts echoed everywhere, with Loria following closely behind. The air was filled with a pungent smell, and even the aroma of roasted meat.

After passing through the thick white fog, she finally reached the depths of the laboratory.

At this moment, Yuki held onto Korich's waist with one hand, her worry and fear evident in her expression.

Loria quickly offered a piece of advice on recognizing talent.

The feedback indicated that Kollridge had a fracture debuff, but her attention was completely elsewhere.

She looked around, and the scene that came into view was bloody, grotesque, and terrifying.

The walls on both sides of the laboratory corridor were covered with all sorts of scraps of meat and internal organs, which was terrifying. Some of them had been roasted in the explosion, which explained the meaty smell when we entered.

Loria's face turned extremely pale.

She couldn't tell whether the meat came from humans or animals, but it didn't seem very proper for a magician to use such things in his magical experiments, did it?

As if touching a taboo, a sense of oppressive darkness and profound gloom swept in from all directions.

Even Yukihime, whose mind was completely focused on her father, gradually noticed something was wrong.

She looked around, her face turning deathly pale.

"Yukihime, what are you doing here?"

Suddenly, a slightly hoarse voice rang out.

Loria and Yuki turned their heads at the same time to look at the magic professor, Korlich, who was gradually waking up.

Xueji didn't answer, but instead asked, "Dad, what exactly is going on with this laboratory?"
