chapter 1005
25. My Wife is Gone (New book released on the 5th)
I… wouldn’t hesitate. I just threw away the thickest script in the domain, the script belonging to the protagonist, to Nilu!
There was no dazzling power; no earth-shattering momentum; no elaborate preparations. I was only using a power that was ordinary to me—a script. It allows me to save a protagonist from danger with a single sentence, and now…
It also allows me to destroy the girl before me with a single action. Because I cannot allow a “chaos” that will interfere with this era in the future to appear.
Because, I must bring order to this altered era.
The next moment, all the pages of Nilu’s script fluttered up, then slowly fell. The scrolls that landed on the ground turned into specks of dust, disappearing without a trace. She is the “protagonist” in the script; even if I want her to disappear, it will take a little while.
So, before this already determined ending occurs, I… among these falling pages, silently looked at Nilu.
【Nilu forgot her power.】
Resistance is also meaningless, because Nilu’s ending is already predetermined. Someone who doesn’t exist in this era certainly can’t do anything now.
It’s just… this scene is so familiar. If possible, I don’t want to do this.
“Nilu, I warned you, don’t do anything that makes me uneasy…”
Why reject the most “suitable,” the most “orderly” arrangement I give you!? Now you’ve forgotten the fact that you are the queen, and next you will gradually forget more, even “forgetting” your own existence. Is this what you want, Nilu…
However, even though she felt the changes in her body, even unable to stand, kneeling on the ground the next moment, Nilu still repeated her earlier purpose to me!
“I refuse. I want to know who you are!? What exactly were you trying to tell me that night in Rhodema!?”
【Nilu forgot her strength.】
I should tell you: You should remember who I am. But… after perceiving the “restoration of the era,” you, with no remaining “orders,” are impossible to “remember” anymore.
I won’t expect you to remember who I am, but…
“You can’t stop me.”
“…”
Otherwise, even you wouldn’t make me hesitate!
Then, you would be like this now, under the altered script!
【Nilu forgot her fairy nature.】
【Nilu forgot her identity.】
【Nilu forgot…】
Disappearing bit by bit.
When all the scripts related to you, along with your existence, are peeled away, that’s when you completely disappear from this era. Unlike those humble creatures of Zelora, I gave you so many, many chances to hesitate, to regret, yet you repeatedly tried to disrupt the “order” I maintain!
Nilu, you yourself asked me to “disappear”! It was you…
【Nilu forgot the changes in the era…】
I wanted to watch Nilu’s “disappearance” with my own eyes, yet the next moment, as one of Nilu’s “scripts” vanished, and her body gradually became “transparent,” she…
She…
She… became strange.
The previous “obsession” with me was gone, but this wasn’t because, “facing death,” Nilu finally chose to give up, but rather… Nilu didn’t need it anymore!
After all…
“Euclid… sir?”
She remembered! In the eyes of the girl in her sight, though bewildered, at this moment she clearly remembered the way she addressed me when we first met!
Nilu remembered who I am!? Why!? How!?
Because she forgot her “script,” so she “remembered who I am”? Because she ultimately forgot even “her appearance in her original era,” so, she finally remembered me!?
My fists clenched tightly, and everything that followed proved that this was definitely not my illusion!
【Nilu forgot her origins.】
“I’m sorry, Mr. O’Keefe…” She gave a bitter smile, “Clearly, back then, I said I would remember you forever, yet in the end, I’m the only one who ‘forgot. ‘ I really am… unqualified, and I should indeed ‘disappear.'”
“Nilu!?”
For a moment, it felt as if my heart was being squeezed tight! Instinctively, I wanted to make Nilu “come back”! However…
This was clearly my domain, yet this time I could no longer find Nilu’s script!
The reason was simple: I had just thrown it away! Now, the scrolls fluttering in the air were the “script” of Nilu disappearing; whether they fell to the ground or I touched them, they immediately turned to specks of dust!
All I could see were lines of text vanishing! Every touch and change only accelerated Nilu’s “disappearance”!
“However, I was right; you are the person I was looking for.”
“Shut up! Don’t say anything!”
Fool, idiot! Do you know that every word you don’t say right now is accelerating your disappearance in the script!? Wait, wait for me! I’ll retrieve your script right now, I’ll “write you back”!
I wanted to “find back” Nilu’s script, and I would personally fill in the missing parts! However, it was impossible… I couldn’t find the script that had already disappeared! The remaining fluttering scripts, I could only watch helplessly !
Watching them appear before me, falling little by little, disappearing, and I… could only watch! Because this was the script I had thrown away with my own hands; unless I rewrote it, otherwise… how could I change the facts I had created!?
【Nilu wants to know who O’Keefe is…】
【Nilu wants to know about her connection with O’Keefe…】
Nilu wants to know me! Nilu is trying hard to remember me! I knew it from the beginning, but I chose not to believe it…
And now, as the layers of the “script” peeled away the outer layer of “Nilu forgetting me,” what I ultimately saw was still such content, which must represent…
Even if Nilu originally did not remember me, she must still be the Nilu in my memories.
She might not disrupt any order, as long as I took some time… No! What does this have to do with order! It was just that I couldn’t bear that moment of irritation, so I destroyed the Nilu who came to find me, wanting to “know” me!
Because I wanted her to be destroyed; because I felt she wouldn’t remember me; because… I didn’t want to wait for her to slowly remember me!
Because… the power of this script in my hands.
【Nilu wants to obtain Ou…】
I lunged towards Nilu! I lunged towards the script!
Pages of books vanished like dust, just as the girl in my sight gradually “scattered” along with this dust!
In this era, I cannot stop the script I have already destroyed. Is this… the weakness of “order”? The things I have destroyed with my own hands can never be regained…
Is this “order”!?
In the blink of an eye, the script has completely dissipated, leaving only Nilu before me, reaching out to touch my cheek.
“Don’t do this, Mr. O’Keefe.”
“Don’t let my relationship with her turn into what it is now…”
And then…
She too vanished without a trace before my eyes! There was no longer any script related to Nilu in the domain, as if a “revenge protagonist” had never appeared in this era.
Nilu… has disappeared.
