A Righteous Female Knight Never Compromises!-Chapter 31 : Moving into new house
{Chapter 31} Moving into new house
After that, Louise hurried back to her home, saying she needed to pack her luggage. Seeing that Anna's house would be finished renovating tomorrow, she was also planning to move in.
Because Louise had arrived, Helga didn't dare to openly push Anna around. Although Louise wasn't staying at Helga's house, if they got too carried away and ended up unable to get out of bed the next day, they might be caught red-handed by Louise. So, Anna spent another peaceful night.
Having had a calm night, Anna didn't start a simulation early in the morning like she did the day before. Instead, she decided to take it easy.
She hadn't claimed the two silver and one gold achievements from yesterday, so there was no rush to start a simulation.
After all, early in the morning, Anna received some expected news.
Her old family home was finally livable.
After several days of non-stop renovation, with workers taking shifts day and night, Anna's old home had been completely renovated in just a few days under such intense work.
Looking at the clean exterior walls, the beautifully maintained garden, the tasteful and unique decor, and the distinctive family style, it was impossible to associate it with the "haunted house" it had been before.
In fact, it was quite different from how it looked when Anna was a child.
Back then, the Garland family had already fallen on hard times. The furniture was in shambles, and no matter how hard her father worked, they never had enough money, relying on the support of the Bartham family...
Even now, the renovation of her home was funded and carried out by the Bartham family...
It felt like she was accumulating more and more debt.
But since my wife's is mine, it should be fine, right?
Thinking this with a sense of righteousness, Anna officially stepped into her old family home... no, her new home.
"Senpai!"
However, just as she stepped one foot inside, Anna heard a call from behind.
A carriage came speeding up and stopped in front of Anna's house.
Louise, carrying two suitcases, rushed out of the carriage and was in front of Anna in the blink of an eye.
"Why are you here so fast?" Helga, who had wanted to spend some alone time with Anna since Atala had gone to the Adventurer's Guild early in the morning, pouted in dissatisfaction.
"Since you're all here, shall we go in and take a look?"
With both her loved ones by her side and now owning her own house, even though she still didn't have much money of her own, it seemed like Anna had successfully met the conditions for a carefree life.
Next, all she needed was for the king to summon her and grant her a fiefdom, and her ultimate dream of living a carefree life would be realized!
Then she could delve into her family's history, grow old with Helga and Louise... though she might not actually grow old.
...And there was Atala. If Atala really did like her, she wondered if Louise and Helga would accept it.
But since Atala hadn't shown more signs of liking her yet, she shouldn't overthink it. There was still plenty of time...
And then there was Theodore... The people who chased her and Atala in the simulation were sent by the Pure Blood faction, right?
They just wouldn't let go! They directly led to that outcome. Indeed, the Pure Blood faction was the root of all evil!
"Senpai is spacing out again."
"Could it still be the effects from yesterday? Anna, maybe you should go back to sleep?"
"...I'm fine."
After simply assigning rooms to Helga, Louise, and Atala, Anna sat on the sofa and let out a long sigh.
It felt really good to have her own house.
"Anna Senpai!"
"Anna!"
It seemed they had tidied up their rooms as quickly as possible. Both Helga and Louise, having finished organizing their rooms, came to find Anna at the same time.
"Alright! Let's talk business first!"
Stopping her two girlfriends from immediately pouncing on her, Anna had them sit down first. Then, after clearing her throat a few times, she became serious:
"Louise doesn't know yet."
Then, Anna recounted the encounters on the road and the discussions she had with Helga and Helga's father.
"Investigating John Burrito... I'll ask my father for help too," Louise nodded. "But the best method is still to capture John Burrito and interrogate him properly."
"Interrogation... That's indeed a good idea."
Anna wasn't opposed to interrogation. Moreover, in the town simulation, she had seen Louise interrogate suspects many times.
Since he had already been used as a shield, kidnapping this duke and thoroughly interrogating him would be much faster than investigating in secret.
Many nobles would confess as soon as they saw the torture tools, especially someone like John Burrito, a duke from a poor area who was trying to climb up using the Pure Blood faction's influence.
His loyalty to the Pure Blood faction couldn't be called loyalty; he was more than willing to sell out anyone he could.
Sell one, get one. One clue would lead to countless others, and eventually, they would find the evidence to bring down Theodore.
Moreover, the investigation into Theodore needed to begin as well.
Such intelligence work was definitely not something Anna could handle. She felt she was more suited to wielding a sword and cutting people down.
"Then... how should we go about kidnapping this Duke Baggs?" Anna asked her question.
"Generally, by investigating the duke's usual travel routes and understanding his preferences, there are many ways to kidnap him."
Helga then added, "If the duke happens to be moving between two cities, have the soldiers disguise themselves as bandits... just like what happened to you on the road, Anna."
"Though what I encountered were real bandits," Anna said, smoothing out her slightly messy hair from lying on the sofa. "Then let's do as Helga suggested."
"Kidnapping a duke sounds quite thrilling."
Moreover, to ensure a higher chance of successfully kidnapping this duke... why not start a simulation?
After all, this was how she had always done things. This time, it would just be another simulation...
"...Anna? Why are you like this again?"
"No... it's nothing."
Opening the simulation interface, she could see the red dot on the achievement page. Seeing the red dot made Anna want to check the achievements, and upon entering the achievement page, she saw the three unclaimed achievements...
[Isekai Drifting Log (Gold): Stranded alone or with one other person on a deserted island, living there for several years or decades.]
[Reward: 100 Achievement Points][Platinum Unlock Condition: None]
Seeing this achievement, Anna was reminded of how she had broken down emotionally yesterday, acting like a child and throwing a tantrum in Helga's arms.
So embarrassing! Better claim the achievement reward and get out of here.
