Female Knight Simulator, I am full of righteousness!

Before the hiss could even escape, a dagger had already sliced ​​across her neck.

"Cuckoo..."

Blood and foam dripped from the corner of his mouth.

The dual-wielding assassin's eyes were wide open, almost bulging out. She couldn't utter a single word, and her body was so weak that she couldn't even fall to the ground.

“I don’t want to kill you, but you’re forcing me, so I have no choice but to do this.”

Vita's face was full of sorrow, and her long, slightly wavy, dark brown hair had lost its luster, making her look even more pitiful.

"Let's go quickly."

Loria caught up from behind and grabbed Vita's restless left hand.

The moment their hands clasped tightly, Vita felt as if she were standing firmly on solid ground, and all her slight unease vanished.

"Ah."

The two quickly disappeared into the night.

A dozen seconds later, the dual-wielding assassin collapsed to the ground with a thud. She was already dead, but her eyes were still wide open, facing the direction where Vita had left.

……

Loria dragged Vita toward the meeting place they had agreed upon with the chairman before the operation.

She was very fast and arrived at her destination in just over ten minutes.

But a cold wind was blowing, and no matter how she looked left or right, she couldn't see the president or Doris.

"Should we go pick them up?" Vita suddenly suggested.

Loria said, "I'll go check and be right back. Don't stay here..."

Vita interrupted her: "I'll go with you."

Loria paused for a moment: "You probably don't really want to be enemies with the Hidden Leader right now, do you? Don't worry, I can handle it."

Vita's heart warmed.

I never expected that Loria would be able to take care of her even in a place like this.

She smiled and nodded: "It's okay, I just killed one, so I don't feel too guilty."

Loria looked Vita up and down; Vita didn't seem to be putting on a brave face.

Vita said, "Hurry up and go, or Adeline and Doris might get hurt."

At this moment, she regained her usual cheerfulness, her image overlapping with that of the famous reporter from before.

"Then let's go together."

Without further hesitation, Loria and the two turned around and headed back to the place where the commotion had started.

They encountered no obstacles along the way, but the bumpy ground and extensive environmental damage still made them uneasy.

After crossing a puddle, Loria finally found the guild leader, Doris, who was entangled with the heavy warrior.

The president had some injuries, but they didn't seem to be serious, which made Loria breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's alright, it's alright."

She patted her chest.

The wave-like shaking caught Vita's attention.

She pursed her lips, but ultimately focused her attention on the heavy warrior.

"Vita?"

The heavy-duty warrior stopped, revealing a pair of black eyes beneath his black round helmet.

She didn't seem to like talking much, but after observing for a while, she roughly understood what was going on.

It's clear that Loria wasn't captured by Vita.

Vita looked at the heavy warrior with a serious expression: "My weaving ability is ineffective against her. My advice is that we should not get entangled with her for too long, lest more enemies arrive later."

Loria hummed in agreement.

She had this intention all along; fighting such a lump of iron would be a thankless and exhausting endeavor.

If the battle took place in a secluded spot, she would be interested in leading a group of people to gang up on the tin man who had worn her down in the simulation.

You like to wear heavy armor to cover yourself up completely, right?

I'll just lift you up and roast you with a special flame!

"Get out of here when the wind gets strong!"

Loria shouted something that no one else could understand, and then rushed forward to help the president escape.

After a fierce battle, the heavily armed soldiers who were surrounded were clearly at a disadvantage.

They seized the opportunity and fled at breakneck speed.

But this escape was just the beginning of a trap.

Vita's defection had a huge impact. Even though the Secret Leaders were currently fighting against the Imperial Army, they still managed to send a group of people out to hunt down Vita.

Loria had already prepared a solution to this.

After taking Vita away, she ran non-stop in a direction away from the Earldom of Norton and the province of Clarence.

She had no intention of joining Count Lydalia and the others.

The leader of the secret society is too ruthless; she doesn't want to bring danger there.

Just as Loria had anticipated, the members of the Hidden Leaders could sense Vita's presence, so no matter how hard they ran, they couldn't completely shake off their pursuers.

"Don't worry about me. I'm the Hidden Leader's primary target. As long as you capture me, they won't bother you for a while."

Beside the fire, Vita hugged her knees and said.

Sitting on her left and right were the president and Doris, respectively.

The president drank water in silence, while Doris poked at the fire with a small stick out of boredom; neither of them seemed interested in what Vita was saying.

Loria pursed her lips.

She didn't want to be a domineering person, but now she had no choice but to make her own decisions.

"Vita, if you believe me, don't say things like that again."

"but……"

"The Hidden Leader won't keep chasing us forever. In three or four days at most, their focus will shift away from us."

"?"

Loria was certainly not making things up.

While on the run, she didn't forget to use the simulator to improve her skills.

While improving her own strength, she also gathered a lot of useful information.

For example, once when she was captured by the head of the secret organization, she deliberately showed weakness and expressed her willingness to exchange her body for a chance to live.

I don't know what those women were thinking, they actually agreed.

Perhaps they felt that this was an insult to Vita.

But in reality, Loria had a great time and almost ate too much meat, as she hadn't eaten meat in a long time.

To allay the women's suspicions, she pretended to be on her deathbed, put on a pained expression, and called out Vita's name with tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

Stimulated by those three words, the women all went crazy, using every trick in the book to corrupt Loria completely.

They never expected Loria to be so cunning.

As a result, they not only leaked a lot of crucial information, but also lost their innocence, and ultimately even their lives.

【"whispering sound."】

You got up from the ground, lightly licking your wet lips with the tip of your tongue, and said with dissatisfaction, "Is that all there is to it?"

hiss~

Loria couldn't help but gasp when she saw this.

Women are terrifying.

Ah, she wasn't saying she was terrible; she was just saying that those women's jealousy was terrible, otherwise they wouldn't have fallen for her tricks and been completely drained by her.

"No matter how cunning a fox spirit is, she needs someone to cooperate with her in order to show her talents."

During this fairly enjoyable battle, Loria learned that Earl Norton was defeated by the Imperial elite forces three days later.

She also learned that the Hidden Leader had breached the Empire's eastern defenses and, with the help of the monsters, was expected to reach the capital in about a month.

There is no particularly treacherous terrain near the capital to defend, so the emperor will surely flee in panic to regroup elsewhere.

The only saving grace is that she has an Enka Stone in her possession, which makes the Hidden Leader's plan less easy to achieve.

"I was so prescient."

After much persuasion, Vita finally believed Loria.

Loria quickly ate something, then extinguished the fire and resumed her escape.

She also wanted to rest, preferably to take a hot bath and get a good massage from a skilled slime girl, but the reality didn't allow it.

On the fourth day, Loria finally saw the news in the newspaper that Earl Norton had been defeated and his whereabouts were unknown.

"almost."

Up to this point, things have unfolded exactly as in the simulation.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Earl Norton will not reveal the whereabouts of the Enka Stone to those people. This way, the Hidden Leader will temporarily cease its pursuit of Vita and instead focus its attention on recovering the lost Enka Stone.

"Yay, I'm going to take a good bath today!"

Loria excitedly walked to the entrance of the Slime Girl Service Shop.

However, instead of a warm welcome from the waiter, she was met with a cold gaze from behind.
