I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

31. Entering the Countdown

No matter how close I got, even when she tossed and turned, unable to sleep, I had to be by her side, recording every move she made while awake. Although at the beginning, when I first interacted with Nilu, I was almost ” Seconds”ed by this fairy queen more than once, however…

As she realized gradually: I truly had no ulterior motives, simply recording her every action as a scroll artist, Nilu, while doubting whether she was “charming enough,” finally to accept that a “nonexistent character” existed beside her at every moment .

This is good, after all, for me, this is the most ideal state of being a “scroll artist.” I cannot, and must not, show any feelings towards Nilu in “this era,” so… merely existing as a non-existent character to record her at all times is the necessary effort I make to “bring Nilu back.”

Thus, as time passed, the history I wrote for Nilu as a scroll artist gradually filled the blank script she originally had. From Nilu gradually getting used to my presence, to me even starting to get accustomed to the identity of a “scroll artist” —one without emotions, desires, and even “never existed”—how long has it been? If possible, I would certainly want to record everything about Nilu until the moment I could save her, but…

This time, I did not use the power of the script to change anything, so… history would not deviate.

As time flowed, some things inevitably approached! First was my power, which, after accumulating through trivial matters, subconscious thoughts, and… the influence of the magic around Nilu and her companions, could no longer be hidden and finally erupted. And this was the “power” that Nilu and her companions saw in the scroll artist, one that “foretold the future and realized it.”

Upon discovering this “power” of mine, at this moment, Nilu had already surrounded me with her fairies.

However, years of communication had made it so that Nilu did not want to “kill me” or “butcher me for research.” Even though I had never shown her a hint of excess emotion, what left me helpless was: the attitude of this fairy queen was gradually shifting towards the “Nilu” I was familiar with.

She was worried about me.

“Scroll artist, this power of yours… is a bit different from the one Ikusis has. What exactly…”

“…My Queen, I should have mentioned that under normal circumstances, you shouldn’t speak to me.”

But I… had no other course of action.

I am merely Nilu’s scriptwriter; all I need to do is record Nilu’s history. It’s more accurate to say that as the power of the “script” has gradually become uncontrollable, coupled with the order fairy’s intentional or unintentional nudging that has led me to “ trigger” the present situation, I must record Nilu’s script more swiftly.

“How this power manifests is of no importance; I am merely your scriptwriter.”

“Use it once, let me see.”

“Please don’t waste time talking to yourself…”

“I command you to use it once!” Nilu’s sudden shout startled the fairies around us. “If you don’t comply, the only thing you’ll see me wanting to do in the future will be this.”

Nilu… now is not the time for you to question whether my power poses a danger, to feel doubt and concern.

You should be worried about yourself.

However, given the current situation, it seems I have no other choice. Once the power of the script manifests, it’s a countdown sought by the order fairy. Continuing to conceal it is futile; perhaps it’s more appropriate to let Nilu know of the impending danger sooner rather than later.

“Only this once; after this, please do not disturb my work, my Queen.”

I took a step back and used the power of the script as “calmly” as possible, a power I hadn’t used in a long time, one that was beginning to feel “strange” to me.

“【Nilu steps back.”

However, should I say that this is the “curse” engraved in my bones by the order fairy? The moment I spoke the script, altered the content, and used the power, everything that felt almost foreign surged into my mind! It even made me feel as if it had been many years since I first used the script to arrive in the era of the “Rodmar Empire,” as if it had happened just yesterday!

I know: this is the power given to me by the order fairy. Just as she said, no matter how many eras pass, she will find me! She still hopes for me to return to the embrace of “order.”

In the next moment, I silently watched as Nilu took a few steps back in front of me, quietly clenching her fists. At the same time, Kfeir also appeared beside me.

“It is I who have intentionally or unintentionally led you to use the script; even if you consciously refrain from using the power you possess, it will inevitably be released subconsciously… Oqilid, it’s only a matter of time before ‘I’ find you. “

“…”

Indeed, the Rodmar Empire, the era where Nilu is the protagonist… the time I have left to save Nilu in this era is already limited! The moment the order fairy discovers me, she will decisively abandon the “order” of this era to come find me. And what that represents has already occurred once in the age of the white-haired fairy.

I looked at… the astonished fairies and Nilu, organized my thoughts, and slowly spoke.

“Queen, I know what this power is, but I have no idea how to use it.”

“You know nothing!”

After the power of the script vanished, Nilu grabbed my arm directly, “My intuition tells me that your power will attract danger.”

“Then you can kill me…”

“Do not use it, not even once more. At least, within the Rodmar Empire, you can still ensure your safety.”

If possible, I really want to thank Nilu for her attitude towards me at this moment.

Her first reaction was not to quickly eliminate me, the threat, but to… choose to protect.

If possible, I also want to leave now; at least I cannot let the Order Fairy shatter Nilu’s Rodmar Empire like a sandcastle just to find me.

But… I have no choice now. Nilu’s script has not yet been completed; I… cannot leave her yet, I have not saved her.

Because, in my memory, the “end” of Nilu’s script in this era is at “that moment.” If I do not record it to that point, I cannot complete Nilu’s script.

I’m sorry, Nilu, this time… I’m afraid “that moment” will have to repeat itself.

“I told you, Queen, I am just your scroll artist. I have no interest in using any power; my task is merely to record your every word and action. Do not question my matters, focus on yourself.”

“Hey! Human! The master is concerned about you!”

“Don’t stop me! Let me go beat him up!”

With that, I ignored the fairies’ complaints about me and turned back to the corner of the room.

Nilu, as I said, do not have any unnecessary thoughts about me, about the “scroll artist.” Hurry up and let me record your history.

“The destruction of the Rodmar Empire,” the arrival of that moment is just a matter of time. Please forgive me for knowing everything but being unable to tell you anything, because… if I don’t do this, in the distant future, you will not be able to forgive me.

If tonight doesn’t go well, then the new book should be tomorrow.

Tomorrow will definitely be fine; otherwise, I’ll just go kill him.
