Adeline clearly remembers her subordinates' evaluations of her—
"It feels like a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties who has no interest in anything."
Actually, it's quite fitting.
But as apt as it was, she couldn't help feeling a little sad.
She's only 22 years old, and she hasn't even lived a third of her life, yet she acts like she's about to be buried.
Adeline tried to change herself.
Unfortunately, she had already earned the title of "Emperor of the Adventurers' Guild" before that.
Even when she tries to speak to people in a gentle voice, she still manages to terrify them.
"As expected, the only option was to give up."
Adeline no longer wanted to compromise with others.
Otherwise, as the eldest daughter of Count Lydalia, she wouldn't be in this border town.
Having no friends isn't a fatal thing; that's how she spent her time at the military academy anyway.
However, a small accident happened today.
As Adeline was counting the leaves on the tree outside her window, she saw a familiar face dragging a suitcase toward her house.
Loria Jaratia.
16 is old.
Height 160 cm.
She has long, flaxen hair that is slightly off-white, and her pupils are a brilliant, jewel-like red.
Adeline immediately recalled Loria's information.
"My parents died in a monster horde, and I was adopted by an orphanage when I was 5 years old."
"Two months ago, as an outstanding graduate of the Knight Training School, she was recommended to work at the Stream Town Adventurers Management Association."
"Loria has a positive attitude at work and is a role model among the new employees, second only to Felix."
"She was never late, never left early, never participated in the adult topics that adventurers loved to discuss, was detached from worldly desires, and had a lovely appearance. Many people secretly regarded her as their ideal wife."
"So, what did she come here for?"
Adeline went down to open the door, a hint of anticipation in her heart.
But the result was disappointing.
She saw no sign of panic in Loria, who was asking for her help.
Was he someone who deliberately used an excuse to get close to her, but was actually after her surname?
Goodbye.
Adeline quickly closed the door and gave Loria a warning look as she tried to climb over the wall.
Watching Loria walk away with her suitcase, she continued counting leaves out of boredom.
This time, however, she couldn't calm down.
She had indeed encountered many people who deliberately approached her, but Loria was the first one to come directly to her house.
"She said that the brothel had a big boss behind it, and that's not entirely unreasonable."
Adeline put on a dark blue coat, slung a knight's short sword over her shoulder, and left home.
She wasn't interested in Loria, and unlike others, she didn't want to marry her.
She went out simply because she couldn't stand human traffickers.
**
In the darkness of night.
Loria is in a tough fight.
She assumed her biggest adversary was the slave traders lurking in the shadows, but upon entering the alley, she realized she was wrong.
"Is this never going to end?!"
Loria had been battling the female mosquito for almost ten minutes.
In the simulation, she could tame all kinds of monster girls with her great endurance, but when faced with this swarm of elusive female mosquitoes, she was completely powerless to resist.
She's so angry right now, she's about to explode.
"Go ahead and suck my blood, go ahead and turn into a mosquito girl, let's see if I can suck you dry!"
popping.
Her clapping attempts missed again, leaving Loria no choice but to wrap herself up like a dumpling, not even sparing her head.
A dozen minutes later.
As she was glaring menacingly at the female mosquito flying past, a man suddenly walked in from the alleyway.
"Is Loria Jaratia's house just up ahead?"
It's really coming!
The fastest legend in Stream Town: 22. That's fucking despicable, what do you want to do to me?
The man walking towards us was really an ordinary-looking man.
Without a word, Loria threw up a "knowledge of character" card, and a concise identity information appeared before her eyes.
Name: Finn Ifri
Gender: Male
Age: 29
[Occupation]: Mystic Assassin (F)
【属性】:力量11、敏捷21、耐力11、智力8、精神7
【talent】:……
【Skill】:……
Occupation: Assassin!
OK!
I knew that little bastard hiding in the back wouldn't let me off the hook. Look, he sent people right away.
“In the last simulation, I spent a lot of time at President Adeline’s house, and I may have just missed this assassin.”
Although this assassin might not be stronger than her, assassins are never best at direct combat, but rather—
Sneak attack!
What kind of atrocity is it for a 29-year-old veteran assassin to ambush a 16-year-old innocent girl?
Loria was glad she hadn't been so careless as to go home and rest, otherwise things would have been much worse.
Reality isn't like a simulator where you can restart.
In the simulator, she was squeezed by the Slime Queen until she was dehydrated and begged for mercy, but in the next round she was able to retaliate and flatten the Slime Queen.
In reality, if she were actually captured by the Slime Queen, given her physique and the Slime Queen's sustained combat ability, she would probably be driven to the point of brain overheating and damage, leaving her with no chance of recovery.
Should we lie to the assassin and say that we live somewhere else?
After thinking about it, Loria decided to give up.
Putting aside whether she can successfully deceive him, even if she does, wouldn't innocent people suffer for her?
Miss Loria, a woman of integrity, could not stand such a thing.
She pulled down the hood covering her head and said, "I don't know, I'm just a passerby."
The assassin Finn didn't press the matter further, nodded, and walked out of the alley.
Loria squatted there for a moment, then carefully walked to a place with a wide view where she could see her house.
She spotted Finn loitering in front of her house immediately.
Are they looking for a way in?
In the darkness, the streetlights were dim, the shadows were long and narrow, and only the distant barking of dogs could be faintly heard.
Just as Finn was trying to pry open the window, a swaying figure emerged from the road next to the apartment.
Loria recognized her; it was an old acquaintance, Grandma Jasmine, who lived nearby.
When she was little, Grandma Jasmine often visited her at the orphanage.
After she joined the Adventurers' Management Association, Grandma Jasmine would greet her warmly every morning.
Are you looking for Loria?
Finn turned around with a big smile: "Yes, I'm Miss Loria's colleague. I have something urgent to discuss with her."
Grandma Jasmine said, "Loria said she had to go to the detention center. If you're in a hurry to find her, how about I take you there?"
"Detention center?"
"Yes, come on, young man, I'll take you there."
"Isn't this too much trouble?"
"No trouble at all. You're Loria's colleague, and I'm free to do something anyway."
"Thank you so much."
The instant Grandma Jasmine turned around, Finn suddenly had a knife in his hand.
Loria was horrified.
You son of a bitch, you beast! How could you hurt an innocent old lady like that?
Even if she was very uneasy, she couldn't sit still any longer. If she didn't go out soon, Grandma Jasmine would die at Finn's hands!
