I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

22. The Biggest Trouble

(There was an error in the chapter number on the previous page, but the content is correct; I will change the number back later.)

——

There will be no more “accidents” interfering with my changes to this “restored era.”

As time goes by, I become increasingly certain of this. Because: with the queen’s words, the “ceasefire” between the Prussian Kingdom and the Austro-Hungarian Tribe has been smoothly completed as I wished.

“Then… then, please both of you sign this agreement. After that, this agreement will be kept by our Great Yng Empire and the Rosian Empire to avoid any unnecessary troubles. You two… please sign~”

The document in the queen’s hand also represents the “change” of the two kingdoms most affected by the “restoration of the era.” Although Adelf and Zelus’s actions seemed very unnatural and tense, it… didn’t matter. Their feelings and so on would eventually calm down slowly after they signed, and all the contradictions and threats brought by the restoration of the era would disappear.

Then… everything would be over.

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but I did not feel the usual sense of ease that comes after “things finally go smoothly.” Was it because everything had been within my preparation from the beginning? I didn’t even feel “joy” at this moment.

Clearly, from the moment I was in the Rodmar Empire, experiencing the “restoration of the era,” until now, I had already…

In the next moment, my body trembled.

Time seemed to freeze, and my thoughts came to a halt. I realized something, and…

When I looked up, Clefiel was floating in front of me, waiting for a long time, smiling at me.

“What’s wrong, Euclid?”

“…”

How dare she ask me “what’s wrong”!? Does she think I can’t see her current “script”!?

My dear wife is now “mocking” me! Because… the troubles and accidents are far from over! In fact, they are about to arrive!

Zerola is just a minor character, a supporting role, an unimportant and boring being! The upcoming “accident” is the real gamble between Clefiel and me!

She is someone I once neglected and forgot for some reasons, yet she possesses strength that is not inferior to any of the girls present! Also… at the moment of the “restoration of the era,” the cowardly me didn’t dare to face the danger and change, and simply ran away in front of her.

In the script, aside from Kephir, there is only her sole “revenge” protagonist, the queen of the fairies…

“Nilu.”

There was no bluster like Zerola’s; no entourage of useless characters like Zerola had; and there was no intense anger or hostility… A black figure simply walked in so ordinarily.

After all, she could do just that! The power of the fire fairy, Jias, within her was enough for her to use “commands” to do anything when others were completely unprepared!

After me, the girls also noticed Nilu.

“Miss Nilu…”

Seeing the queen Nilu still seemed a bit surprised, I immediately pulled the queen behind me.

“Louise, quiet.”

I shook my head, and the queen quickly understood what I was trying to express.

This was a… content I would rather not “think about” if possible, but at this moment it unexpectedly appeared before my eyes.

Unlike the girls beside me, Nilu, influenced by the “Restoration of the Era,” did not remember.

Moreover…

It was impossible for her to remember.

Because, before the order fairy restored the era, Nilu did not seek out the fire fairy Jias for “insurance” like the queen and the others did; she, in her joy of wanting to “give me a surprise,” had gone ahead to the Rodmar Empire.

Since there were no “commands” left to retain her memories from that time, then… no matter how I “reminded” her, Nilu could not possibly remember who I was; what had happened between us; and what our… relationship was like. The current her was just the complete fairy queen from the original era, wanting revenge.

I overlooked Nilu’s existence precisely because of this: I had always wanted to change the “remindable” girls, but Nilu… was subconsciously ignored by me, and then… now appeared as an “unexpected” presence.

As an “unexpected” occurrence I least wanted to face, she came here.

“This is the bet I made with you, Euclid.”

Kephir flew to my side, “A being as humble as Zerola does not deserve to appear in our game. You should know Nilu’s current state, so… what do you want to do? What can you do?”

“…”

I… don’t know. I just don’t want the upcoming plans to be disturbed by anyone. No one can break the order of this era that I have maintained, not even Nilu.

“Nilu.”

In the next moment, I slowly spoke, “We are negotiating a ceasefire between the two kingdoms. Do you also wish to represent the Rodmar Empire and listen in?”

This was not a question, just an opening line, because… the Nilu in the script had no intention of engaging in “peaceful” dialogue.

“I have no interest in taking another look at the country left behind by the traitors.”

Nilu’s gaze never flickered to the girls beside me; it had been fixed on me from the start. “I came to find you, O’Keel.”

【Nilu wants to uncover O’Keel’s secrets.】

【Nilu doubts O’Keel’s identity.】

The script appeared, revealing Nilu’s current purpose for showing up. But even if I could respond to Nilu peacefully, her hostility towards the girls beside me would not diminish in the slightest.

All of this left me with no other choice: Nilu was even more dangerous than Zerola had been moments ago. Rather, the appearance of Nilu, the “protagonist” in this script, could truly be considered a “surprise.”

“From the moment you escaped from my empire, I have been paying attention to you. I have heard about everything you have done.”

In the next moment, Nilu came to a halt.

She did not make a move, but the threat she conveyed to us did not lessen in the slightest.

“Who exactly are you? What do you know about me… I specifically came to make you tell me.”

A single glance was enough for me to know that Nilu was not lying.

However, her proximity made me “alert.” Nilu was the “protagonist” in the script whose purpose was “revenge.” In other words, in this world where “order no longer exists,” everything I had experienced before was merely child’s play . Nilu was the true “seed” that would ultimately plunge everything around her into chaos and decay.

I had only changed the “appearance of the era,” but now Nilu and the Rodmar Empire she was rebuilding were already difficult to alter. This meant that…

One day, Nilu would destroy the “order” of this era that I had worked so hard to maintain.

She was extremely dangerous, extremely troublesome, so I could not sit idly by.

“Nilu… even if I tell you…”

“Is it meaningful?”

So, I also know what I should do next.
