I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

42. Going Home

Seeing Nilu safe and sound, and even having the leisure to come find me for a “passionate confession,” I finally set my mind at ease about whether “Nilu really came back” and whether “the script written by the painter about her is considered complete.”

Upon careful consideration, the act of violating the school rules here and climbing to the rooftop to wait for me does indeed seem like something Nilu would do.

As for Kefir, she has also managed to find me safely. More importantly: she got to me before the Order Fairy did. This era I “hid” in is all too familiar to me; after all, isn’t this the very time before I “traveled” here? Naturally, I could adapt immediately, so I no longer needed the power of a script to protect myself. Thus, I simply decided to “forget” all of my—identity, powers, script…

Living just as an ordinary student.

Sure enough, this time the Order Fairy didn’t even find my approximate location; the one who could find me was, of course, Kefir, who shares a deep connection with me. At this point, the Order Fairy should have to admit: she is not Kefir at all, but merely the Order Fairy.

By the way, she has lost completely.

This point was soon confirmed by the “black-haired modern version” of Kefir before me.

“When I found you, ‘I’ had already compromised. After this, she won’t interfere here anymore, nor will she appear again. She just said she needed to calm down, to go observe in another era for a while, and when she’s no longer so impulsive, she will come back to find you~”

After a pause, Kefir smiled, “That’s what she said~”

“Then let’s trust her this once.”

I sighed, rubbing my forehead.

To be honest, I thought the Order Fairy would give up after this “loss,” but I didn’t expect this girl’s determination to be quite firm. However, since that Order Fairy, who doesn’t regard any era as “important, ” has said so, I believe this time the Order Fairy should change, after all… she never gave up on maintaining the identity of “my fairy” until the very end.

Her actions might just stem from a strong divinity leading to differing viewpoints; I… am willing to give her a chance to change her perspective on the era, as well as an opportunity to calm down.

However, Kefir responded seriously, “Even if I don’t give you, I have to give it to you~ I can certainly find you smoothly, but… Nilu and the others could only appear with ‘my’ help. Moreover, if we don’t stay aligned with ‘me,’ we won’t have the power to accurately return to our original era next. Uh…”

At this point, Kefir hesitated, raised her head, and after a moment of contemplation, cautiously asked me, “Of course, it’s fine if you want to stay here; I can accompany you, but…”

“Let’s go back.”

I spoke up.

This decision wasn’t that hard to make: I had no compelling reason to “stay” in this era. If I disappeared, there would be other “reasons” to cover up my existence, but Kefir and the others were different: they had gone through great hardships to find me in this era they would absolutely not adapt to. I couldn’t bear to let her and Nilu continue to stay in this unfamiliar world.

Moreover…

“Ah, I haven’t even mentioned that others are waiting for you; you responded quite quickly?”

“Wishes, my dear! Didn’t I also say I was going back because of others!?”

Forget it, there’s no “but” anymore; after all, my wife is jealous.

And this jealousy is quite intense, making me feel a headache that I haven’t experienced in a long time.

“You may not say it, but you must have thought about ‘them’ just now, right!? Very good, oh fortune teller, you really understand~ You care a lot, don’t you!?”

Of course, I must have thought of all of them! Can my wife really get jealous over this kind of irresistible force?

Well, now it’s all back. Just looking at Ke Fei Er’s current expression, I don’t even need to think: she must be the real deal.

“However, I hope you can go back.”

At least the jealousy has somewhat subsided, and after this, Ke Fei Er gradually became serious.

“Because I want you to go back and see the ‘changes’ you made back then, to tell you that you don’t need to feel guilty anymore. Because… everything in the era we are in now has been saved by your changes. It’s just that the process took a bit of a detour.”

As she spoke, Ke Fei Er walked towards me. Her initial intention was probably to leave a mark on my lips, but… outside the realm, the bystanders who were still and yet truly existed made her shyly abandon her original plan.

However, the words she wanted to tell me were not swallowed down; instead, they were spoken out loud.

“To me, you are the ‘order’ in my heart.”

“Order,” I certainly don’t deserve something so lofty.

I’m just an ordinary person who wants to spend an ordinary day with my dear wife in an ordinary era. Just like… this identity I’m using to evade order right now.

Of course, I’m willing to give my all for my wife, but in times of peace, I don’t want to be that “order” that scrutinizes the “living beings”; I just want to cling to my wife’s leg. This… should be quite reasonable, right? So now that my wife has given an order, I have no reason to refuse.

In this era, I don’t have anything particularly nostalgic, so I can immediately prepare to go back.

In the next moment, Nilu walked towards us from not far away, and various colored lights flew in from all directions, looking like the fairies that had been searching for me during this time. They must have been lurking in my house, just waiting for this moment.

“Miss, you’ve exceeded your time.”

Nilu, also in a black-haired uniform, approached, but unfortunately, this time no one could notice my “happy life.” If it weren’t for my wife urging me, I really wanted to stay in this era a little longer and show off before leaving.

“Talkative, you’ve been pinned down, so just wait here obediently.”

“!”

Nilu almost smashed the fairy light that flew into her hand onto Ke Fei Er’s face, but I dared not continue to enjoy this long-lost scene. If the two of them got into a fight and ended up outside the realm, and were seen by the people here, then rumors of some “supernatural phenomenon” would surely arise.

Nilu and Ke Fei Er were ultimately not people of “this era.” For safety’s sake, I should refrain from indulging in a moment of vanity and stay here as a present-day participant.

“Stop shouting, Nilu, bring your fairies into the realm. Ke Fei Er, you two get a bit closer; I need to ‘modify’ things.”

The power of the script had already awakened. This time, without the help of the Order Fairy, it was completely fine for me to “return” with Ke Fei Er and Nilu. This time… there would be no more “parting life and death”; what awaited us was the “era” that truly belonged to us.

“Ke Fei Er, Nilu, are you ready?”

I looked to the left and right at the two women beside me, and at the moment they smiled and nodded to signal me, I wrote a stroke on our shared script.
