Episode 15

Thunk!

A solid blow struck the robber's head, sending one of his accomplices crashing down, clutching his bleeding skull.

His comrade was startled and lunged at Grizelda. She met the man's attack with the stick in her grasp.

The man seized the stick as well, leading to a tugging match between the two.

Grizelda glanced down, contemplating her next move.

Then, an idea came to her. She delivered a powerful kick to the man's sensitive area, causing him to pause momentarily before collapsing.

The robber with the bleeding head tried to rise again to attack Grizelda, but she struck him once more, knocking him unconscious.

"Take that," Grizelda uttered, discarding her stick.

She took out her phone and called the police.

Beep! Beep!

Beep! Beep!

"Good afternoon, how can I assist you?" inquired the officer receiving Grizelda's call.

"Sir, I would like to report two robbers. However, the robbers have already been beaten up. Can you come and arrest them?" Grizelda asked.

"Sure, we'll head over now, please provide your address," the officer requested.

"Of course." Grizelda relayed her current location.

After the call ended, Grizelda looked at the motionless thieves for a moment.

"I better get going. I need to find a place to stay as soon as possible," she said and continued her way, wheeling along her two suitcases.

Grizelda observed a laptop offered by her System.

"Hmm… this is really nice, but what should I do with this laptop to make some extra money?" Grizelda pondered.

She soon arrived at her deserted school, walked a few more meters, and spotted a girls' boarding house.

Entering the building, she went to see the landlady.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Excuse me!" called Grizelda.

"Just a second," came the voice of a middle-aged lady from inside, heading to the door.

Click!

A lady dressed in a casual house dress appeared.

"What can I do for you?" she asked.

"Good morning, do you still have rooms available for boarding?" Grizelda inquired.

"Yes, there are two rooms left. Are you interested in renting one?" the lady replied with a question.

"Yes, how much is it per month?"

"Four hundred thousand a month, but you need to pay upfront if you decide to stay," the landlady explained.

"Alright, just give me a moment," Grizelda said.

Currently, she had no cash on her and looked for a secluded spot.

"Where did she go?" the lady murmured, furrowing her brows.

Grizelda accessed her System funds, withdrawing one million and slipping it into her pocket.

"Here is the money," Grizelda offered 400 thousand.

"Thank you. Be sure to pay on time in the future," the landlady advised with a smile.

"Of course," Grizelda nodded in agreement.

[Balance Deducted: 400,000]

[Remaining Balance: 4,600,000]

"Let's go, I'll show you to your room." The landlady escorted Grizelda to the boarding house.

Many boarders were present, likely because their homes were too far to commute.

Their gazes were sharp as they looked at Grizelda, as if they were displeased by her arrival.
