chapter 993
13. I was terrified at the time
After using the power of the script to directly make Zeruces “remember,” in order to help her, the Great Clan Leader who has been “gone” for a long time, regain control of the Austro-Hungarian tribe’s Orcs, I also tore up the “script” of the only Great Shaman who could possibly interfere with Zeruces’s “takeover” as I left.
Life, body, even existence disappeared with the destruction of the script. The Orcs of the Austro-Hungarian tribe might be a little puzzled, but no one will remember who the “Great Shaman” was. In this way, it’s only a matter of time before Zeruces appears as the “Great Clan Leader” and rules the Austro-Hungarian tribe again.
Having done all this, I naturally didn’t need to, nor had time to stay here any longer. I rushed back to the Prussian Kingdom where Adeleve was, before the “deadline” Adeleve gave me ran out, and explained this hard-won good news to her.
The two parties most affected by the “restoration of the era”—the Prussian Kingdom and the Austro-Hungarian tribe—can finally begin to push forward their “ceasefire” arrangements.
After that, in the Prussian Kingdom, the matter of “making the girls ‘remember'” came to a close, and I was finally able to stay in the Prussian Kingdom to rest for a while. Currently, I am examining the upcoming “ceasefire plan” accompanied by two white-haired elf sisters.
The current situation can be said to be “everything is ready, only the east wind is lacking,” but after my return and reunion with the white-haired elf sisters, their attitude towards me is slightly different from before.
“Is it really finished?”
Ludovico casually threw out a question, “You were gone to the Orcs for a super short time this time~ Finding your fairy and making her remember, that’s too fast!”
I didn’t look back: “Are you doubting me?”
Judging from the results, after I managed to see Zeruthis and used the “script” to help her remember, we eventually returned to the Prus Kingdom. There was still some time left, but some things can’t be measured by results. In the “restoration of the era,” everyone I know is changing little by little. Using the power of the script to directly make Zeruthis remember was the most reasonable and best way for Zeruthis.
“You two said it yourselves, right? You won’t interfere with my actions, you’ll only help me deal with danger.”
“!”
Ludwig’s body trembled, but… her reaction didn’t seem to be because she was unhappy with my words, wanting to come forward and “teach me a lesson.” Rather…
It was that expression I had seen on Zeruthis’s face before.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean anything else. In short… Zeruthis also remembered, a ceasefire will soon be on the agenda, there’s nothing for you to worry about.”
“I’m not worried about ‘success or failure,’ Mr. Euclid.”
After my sister fell silent, my older sister spoke. At the same time… this white-haired elf, who is far more intelligent than her sister, carefully sized me up: “What happened to you while you were in the Austro-Hungarian tribe ?”
This elf wants to probe into what I did?
Should I use the script to see what’s on her mind now? Should I… change her doubts?
The next moment, the noise from outside interrupted my contemplation, and somewhat disrupted the increasingly strange atmosphere between me and the white-haired elf sisters.
Adeff excitedly burst in, and at the same time, rather than “not wanting to stay here” it was more like “not daring to stay here,” the white-haired elf sisters behind me, after exchanging a glance, very tacitly chose to leave.
“Huh? Your two maids are quite good at timing.”
Adeff blinked in surprise.
However, the actual situation may be different from what she thought. This pair of elf sisters probably didn’t leave out of “consideration for the atmosphere.”
“Don’t mind them, Adeff, what you have to say is more important.”
I simply glossed over the topic. What the white-haired elf sisters are struggling with, I can ask later. And now… I already knew in advance: what Adeff was about to tell me was even more urgent.
“Um… um.”
Although she seemed puzzled, Adeff quickly accepted the current atmosphere. She didn’t think much about the departure of the elf sisters just now, thinking that the two maids were very “understanding” in providing a “private” environment for her and me. Plus, Adeff must have “remembered” now, so her relationship with me has certainly returned to “before.”
“‘The ceasefire’ has been settled, but that’s all it is for now; I’m not sure what will happen when the time comes. Whether it’s the initiator or the location, we’ve chosen a third party, the one you’ re familiar with—the Great Ying Empire.”
As she spoke, Adev stepped closer to my side.
If I remember correctly, in the past, this midget would have simply sat on my legs like a chair, but now, after hesitating for a moment, Adev stood in front of me like a student who had made a mistake, waiting for a reprimand , not daring to move.
“Choosing a third party can avoid situations where either side is unwilling to accept, and it’s also relatively ‘fair,’ so…”
Adev looked up, “Is that okay?”
“What are you asking me if I agree to do?”
This was the “negotiation” between Adev and Zelus; all I needed to do was to let them “remember” and then facilitate the matter, without any further thoughts.
If I had intended to interfere with the outcome from the very beginning, there would have been no need for you all to “remember” first before I intervened.
At this point, I realized: not to mention the white-haired elf sisters from earlier, even Adev, who was standing in front of me now, had an air of “being a bit scared” in her words and actions.
Then, Adev expressed her concerns: she placed her hands on my thighs, then… leaned in closer, tilting her head to carefully observe me.
This wasn’t for any “request for a kiss,” but Adev was seriously scrutinizing my every move, and finally, with her nose touching mine, the little elf whispered softly.
“Because I feel like you’re a bit… scary right now.”
I had already heard such “thoughts” from more than just Adev recently.
“I’m sorry, I might be a bit anxious lately because of ‘limited time.'”
“It’s not because of anxiety, but… something else…”
As she spoke, this elf leaned in even closer, as if to let me “hear more clearly,” and began to whisper in my ear: “Are you doubting something? Clearly, I’ve already ‘remembered’?”
I knew that you and Zelus had already remembered this matter one after the other; I had known since the moment the script appeared.
There’s no need to be so scared, Adev; perhaps I’ve just been too “focused” lately, doing something that made you all nervous.
After all, reversing all the changes after the “restoration of the era” has been a plan I’ve prepared for a long time, and now… it’s just this last step!
“!”
Adele’s actions interrupted my rambling thoughts.
It seemed her struggle lay right here.
“Euclid, look… I really *remember* now!?”
Was she thinking, “Is he doubting whether I *remember*?” This series of actions seemed to be proving her intimacy with me.
How strange, incomprehensible. I never doubted her at all.
Why wouldn’t she believe me?
“I… I can really prove it!? No, if you don’t believe me, I’ll show you…”
The next moment, my reaction made this elven midget even more anxious. She hugged my shoulders and threw herself directly into my arms.
