I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

11. This World is on the Brink of Collapse

After using the script to “take down” all the orcs, unsurprisingly, I found the disguised Zelus in the innermost room of the temple, where the orcs worshiped the “High Chief.”

From the beginning to the end, the moment I decided to use the power of the “script” to “change” the Austro-Hungarian tribe, nothing was beyond my preparation. Even the death script where the great wizard came with a large group of orcs, intending to frame and then “eliminate me,” was all for the sake of this moment.

Kefir, what I told you: what I was waiting for was this kind of death script.

Because only when the great wizard brought all the orcs that might appear and interfere with me after I met Zelus to the temple to “catch me in the act,” could I “catch them all in one net.” Only then could I go find Zelus without any worries and make her “remember.” It is meaningless to roughly use the script to erase others’ existence. Order fairy, how can you not even know how to use your own power?

Even the use of the script has its appropriate timing and method, just like now.

I fixed my gaze on the “mysterious patriarch of the Austro-Hungarian tribe” in front of me—little fox Zelus, who also had the identity of a “shape-shifting fairy.” However, upon our reunion in this situation, and knowing that Zelus certainly wouldn’t recognize me, this little fox no longer had that bear-like strength but instead wore a wary expression as she stared at me.

“Stop looking around; I’m looking for you, shape-shifting fairy Zelus.”

Seeing that she still wanted to play dumb, I directly reminded her.

“!”

In my memory, the matter of the shape-shifting fairy was a “secret” that Zelus had personally told me. Naturally, at this moment, no one else tense would know. So, as soon as I finished speaking, Zelus’s attitude became increasingly . Forget about continuing to perform as a bear fox in front of me; even the death script emerged.

【Zelus killed Oqilid!】

“Who are you!?”

Being directly exposed by a stranger about all her secrets, it was impossible for Zelus to remain calm, so it was no surprise that she produced a death script against me.

If possible, I certainly didn’t want to contact Zelus in such a “brutal” way. The best method would be to find the secrets that could remind her to “remember” little by little, allowing her to recall on her own. However …

Time no longer allowed me to wait. For every day I delayed, the “situation” between the Austro-Hungarian tribe and the Prussian Kingdom would develop in an irreversible direction.

It was no longer a time for me to maneuver freely, so I didn’t want to hold back anything.

“I am your ‘master.'”

Casting my gaze at Zelus, I directly revealed the answer. I didn’t want to play guessing games with her. “As the ‘patriarch’ of the Austro-Hungarian tribe, knowing that your tribe is about to fall into chaos, you actually completely ignore it?”

“I don’t know what you’re…”

“Don’t know? Then I can make you remember.”

Before my words fell, sensing my danger instinctively, Zelus immediately began to resist! Moreover, this resistance was to escape; she no longer wanted to “kill me.”

“Zerus, why have you become as useless as the moon fairies?”

I… of course I couldn’t let Zerus escape like this!

Looking at, seizing her script, I reached out, grabbed the shadow Zerus had transformed into, and pulled her directly in front of me. The Zerus in my memory, while lazy, was at least someone who would arrive as a shadow to help those clumsy beastmen when the Austro-Hungarian tribe was in crisis, a “Great Clan Leader.” But the Zerus before me now looked like nothing more than a self-indulgent fairy who just eats and drinks.

Was it because of Kefir’s “absence” that she gradually became like this? If so, I have no need to listen to her explanations anymore.

The shadow returned to its original form, the little fox I held by the hand was too afraid to even resist.

“I… I don’t know you!”

“It doesn’t matter, because I don’t know ‘you’ now either.”

I looked at this struggling little fox.

She clearly couldn’t now arrive as a shadow in her role as “Great Clan Leader.” Shamefully, I couldn’t think of what could make her “remember” in the short term. The time Adefa gave me is running out; I … cannot delay any longer.

Who knows how much everything around me would change if I continued to dawdle? Being too naive becomes “stupid.”

So this time, I’ll use the simplest method to make Zerus remember.

This method isn’t difficult; it only requires “I want her to remember,” exactly as the words say. Find Zerus’s script, act, change.

That’s it.

【Zerus’s ‘command’ was lifted】

The script appeared as I wished. At the same time, Zerus in front of me stopped struggling, kneeling on the ground, covering her ears. Even though I understand this is probably just Zerus’s reaction after “remembering” due to my manipulation of the script , seeing this still made me feel a little uncomfortable.

Unlike “reminding her and then her remembering,” Zerus remembered because I changed things using the script.

“Feeling sorry for her?”

Kefir appeared beside me again. This meaningless question wasn’t directed at me; she was probably making fun of me.

As for answering, of course I felt a little sorry, but I also knew: If I continued to “try my luck” with the previous method, by the time Zerus remembered, there would be even more things to feel sorry about.

This current ruthlessness and decisiveness are for future peace.

“That question should be coming from me, Kefir. Are you nervous?”

I have continuously “altered” everything on the continent after restoring the era, but will the Order Fairy, the original culprit, really let it go?

“How could I be~ As for me, I won’t mind how you use my power~ I just hope you’ll leave this boring era soon and stop worrying about these things, Euclid~”

This… I can’t do that.

With a wave of her hand, Kefir’s figure vanished like a puff of smoke.

Then, I looked at Zerus, who was lying on the ground silent, and the ensuing script had already told me her current state.

【Zerus remembered.】

This kind of script is the result I want, that’s enough.

I lowered my head and asked, “Do you remember now? Zerus.”

“…”

Zerus’s bewildered silence was the response I received, making me feel uneasy, even though I knew I wouldn’t regret directly interfering with her script.

“I’m sorry, Zerus, because I don’t have time to think of other ways.”

“Get up, your Austro-Hungarian tribe is in imminent danger, I don’t have time for you to cry to me.”
