I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

21. Caw caw caw! (It’s the beginning of the month, please vote for me!)

As Urasiru said: the three sisters have already used a method that “ordinary people can understand” to stop Zerola’s actions this time, making it clear to everyone what it means to “maintain order.” Now, it’s my turn to put an end to this “accident” that I already knew about in advance.

I won’t use the “script” as a weapon to “change” things at will like the Order Fairy does, but… I will not let go of any being that could affect the “era” I am trying to change.

For example, the Zerola in front of me.

Compared to the Sword Saint Ludwig, even though the uncle himself is no pushover, he still cannot remain unscathed under Ludwig’s nearly frenzied assault.

And should I say I’m somewhat disappointed? The “now” uncle is nowhere near as powerful as I remembered, and I can’t see even a hint of the so-called eighth-tier power that I could only “look up to ” back then. As far as I can see, while Ludwig is still yawning, he is already left gasping on the ground.

I approached him.

“She’s the maid who followed you back then, right…? Who are you all, and why do you have…”

Uncle, don’t cling to the belief that you are “strong” even at this point. In reality, what you think you can “rely on”—your strength—can’t change anything, and I won’t let you change it either.

So…

“Could you please not interfere with me, uncle?”

If possible, I don’t want to do anything to him; being able to “do our own things” peacefully is the outcome I look forward to the most. After all, he is Uncle Zerola! How could I use the script to change anything about him? If I did that…

It would become very troublesome. I would have to find and change everything about Uncle—his wife, acquaintances, places he might have been, people he interacted with, things he did—handling such “characters” is far more complicated than dealing with those orc brothers in terms of “aftermath.”

However, reality and the script won’t be as perfect as I hope.

“Don’t… don’t interfere with you!?”

Clearly… it was he who interfered with my plan, yet even at this point, the man in front of me still blames all the responsibility on me. “It’s you who is interfering with me!? I’ve become like this, and it’s all because of you!? If you hadn’t caused trouble with the elves from the start, would I have no place to live and not even see my wife!?”

[Angry Zerola killed Oujili De.]

The uncle’s roar appeared alongside the script of death, leaving me no choice but to shake my head and give up.

Given the uncle’s current state and the script, it was clear that he could not be allowed to leave; otherwise… such an unstable factor would only bring chaos to the subsequent “era.”

As for “changing” the uncle’s thoughts, that was something that required occasional attention…

A bit troublesome, indeed; he wasn’t worthy of my script being used to that extent.

So, there remained only one method—

Kefir floated beside me, letting out a light laugh: “Are you finally going to kill him?”

Kill? No, how could I possibly bring myself to harm Uncle Zerola, who had taken care of me so much in my memories? I simply had to make him “leave” here due to his current unreasonable antics, lest he continue to interfere with the stability and “order” after the changes in this era.

This was a “redemption” for the uncle, who had gradually become strange due to the restoration of the era.

【Hiss】

In the next moment, the uncle’s script, along with his figure, slowly disappeared before my eyes.

There was no need for any extraordinarily flashy special effects; after all, I wasn’t doing this to show off my power.

Moreover, it wasn’t time for me to rest yet.

After completing all of this, I stood up and returned to the girls. They were surprised, but there was still no movement; was it a bit too much of a fuss?

“Hey… why are you all just watching me here?”

As my gaze swept across, they all lowered their heads without exception. “The ‘negotiation’ isn’t over yet, right? Even if it’s just a superficial effort, we need an external ‘fact.’ So… what are you all waiting for?”

“We don’t have time to wait here, do we? Louise, take everyone and continue.”

Should I say, as expected of a queen? She was the first to react, forcing a smile and signaling the others to quickly return to their seats and continue with the “scenes” of this “negotiation,” which had already been determined. I certainly wouldn’t interfere with this scene, standing quietly to the side and watching the girls continue their “discussions” with extremely unnatural attitudes.

The incident caused by Uncle Zerola had already been “eliminated” by me; as long as the “negotiation” ended smoothly, the “restored era” would be changed by me again. Full of order, flawless, everything just like in my memories, just like the era I wanted to become.

“Kefir, you should admit defeat, right?”

“It’s okay~ Losing is just losing.”

The order fairy beside me seemed completely unbothered by failure. “As long as you can control ‘order’ with perfect poise, I have no problem staying with you in ‘this era’ for a while longer~”

“Do you understand? Everything you see before you, under our power, is no different from a puppet. All living beings will follow our ‘script,’ allowing us to manipulate them. Whether you use this power for evil or good, it doesn’t ‘t matter. To us, the era is merely fleeting; the current era lacks ‘order,’ and we can simply seek the next one~”

The fairy’s whispers filled my ears.

“Because we are the ‘gods’ in the eyes of these humble beings~”

No, I am not a god. I will not destroy this era, which I have painstakingly changed to be exactly like the one in my memories. I only want it to develop perfectly and unblemished according to my will.

In the past, present, and future, it must be this way. I will not allow even the slightest unexpected event to occur that would hinder my ‘control’ over this era. No one can.

My gaze swept over Louise and the others. I watched as the girls, flustered, dared not look at me, hurriedly throwing themselves into the ‘negotiation.’ To help them calm down a bit, I turned away and did not stare.

No one can.

Louise, I have already ‘changed’ you, made you remember, so…

Please act according to the ‘you’ in my memories from now on. Do not exhibit any ‘unexpected’ behavior that would put me in a difficult position, okay?

Otherwise, I will directly ‘change’ you with the script, and I might feel a bit guilty about it.
