I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

57. You Are Mine! (3000 words)

Jia Dad’s stubborn and thoughtless approach with the Seven Injuries Fist forced me to quickly take Nilu and, using the script and the combination of the Fire Fairy Jias, find and “command” everyone who knew about the secret concerning the candidate for the saintess, crushing the “secret” in the cradle before it could turn into gossip.

Such a troublesome action naturally needed to be as swift as possible; after all, rumors spread like wildfire. Therefore, when Ke Fei Er did not raise any objections about me and Nilu needing to “leave alone for a few days,” theoretically, the “satisfied” Ke Fei Er would have no objections either. The next day, I set off with Nilu.

Our destination was, of course, the church branch in another town where Miss Jia De’s family resided. The method to suppress the “secret” leaked by Jia Dad was simple, straightforward, and quick: I used the script to identify the informants and their locations, while Nilu had Jias use “commands” to erase their memories of this information.

At this moment, inside the home of one of the informants, Nilu and I looked at the passerby as if we were intruding robbers.

“Ah~ Why do you humans always like to delve into things you shouldn’t know? Why so much curiosity? In the end, you can’t even remember, and you just add to my troubles. That’s why I don’t like bipeds at all.”

“Jias, instead of complaining, hurry up and give the command.”

“Yes~ Master, since this is the last one, I can finally take a break.”

The fiery red fairy brushed her long hair aside, looking impatiently at the informant who was already in a “dazed” state, then extended her hand, “【Command】!”

“Mr. Oujili De, according to your words, this should be the last informant. Fortunately, their information hasn’t leaked out yet, so we can avoid the hassle of further searching.”

With Nilu’s timely notification, the script that appeared in my mind finally allowed me to breathe a sigh of relief.

【All informants have been [commanded], and the secret of the saintess candidate has been stopped by Oujili De.】

Once the command was complete, Jias flew back into Nilu’s eyes, and I moved the last informant, who was about to collapse, to a corner to lean against the wall. When he wakes up, he will have no memory of Nilu and me appearing, and he will forget entirely about the “secret” that Jia Dad had revealed to him.

After spending the entire day searching for various informants and issuing commands, Nilu and I finally managed to resolve this unexpected trouble just as the sun was about to set.

“Nilu, be careful not to move anything unnecessarily that might arouse his suspicion when he wakes up. Let’s leave.”

“Yes.”

With that, no unrelated parties would know about the previous “secret” concerning the saintess candidate, and the task that the queen had thrown at me was considered complete. Although I was tired, I thought I could finally go back…

However, just as Nilu and I quietly left the residence of the last informant, she, who had been following half a step behind me the whole way, as if truly playing the role of a “maid,” quietly came to my side, held my hand, and smiled as she turned her face towards me.

“Mr. Oujili De, since the troublesome task is complete, then… as a final relaxation and a reward for my hard work today, could you spend some time with me?”

With every frown and smile, it felt as if I had returned to the time when I had just wrapped my arms around Kephiel’s thigh and had only recently met Nilu. In that moment of slight daze brought on by this familiar feeling, I found myself being led by Nilu in the completely opposite direction of the way out of the city.

The setting sun was about to dip below the horizon, its afterglow seemed to flow towards the distant skyline. Although I couldn’t quite understand why Nilu still wanted to lead me around at such a time, I knew that… the troubles of today, including the series of tasks before, were all resolved thanks to Nilu’s assistance.

If Nilu simply wished to find an excuse to spend some time alone during this leisure, then I had no reason to refuse. Moreover, I couldn’t tell if it was because of the time, the occasion, or Nilu’s appearance, but everything felt so reminiscent of our past relationship that, for a moment, I even felt as if I had returned to those days.

Back when Nilu was truly just a maid of Kephiel, I had experiences of spending time with her during moments like this. However, the next moment, Nilu’s voice made me realize: the past was the past, and the present was the present. Even if everything on the “surface” seemed no different from before, but…

The Nilu of now was no longer that timid little maid who was always being sought out by various “opportunities.” Now, she was the big boss of the script, and even though she was maintaining a fragile peace with Kephiel for the sake of a common goal, she wouldn’t “kill” me due to her feelings towards me, but… could this level of connection truly put my mind at ease?

“Mr. O’Gilid, weren’t you curious before about what the ‘secret’ I finally found in you was?”

Stopping in her tracks, Nilu turned around, facing me with her back to the setting sun.

The obscured light made it difficult for me to see the changes in her expression clearly.

“Now that it’s just the two of us, I think… it’s time to tell you the content.”

【Nilu wants to reveal the ‘secret’ to O’Gilid.】

As a villain who could die at any moment due to reckless behavior, I didn’t possess much curiosity. So, even though the script had already included the content of 【Nilu knowing the ‘secret’】, I hadn’t felt the urge to inquire out of curiosity, nor had I thought to clarify the vague script.

Of course, I wanted to know the content, but why did Nilu choose to tell me at this moment!? Was it because we were alone, and Kephiel was not around? But she had the opportunity to tell me the same back at the church headquarters.

Or perhaps…

While I was still in shock, Nilu continued without waiting for my response.

“This secret isn’t particularly complex; I just ‘remembered’ it. I had been troubled by why every fairy carrying my ‘fragments’ had been returned, yet I still felt like I was missing the most important piece. It wasn’t until you stood between Urasilu and me that I realized: the last and most important ‘fragment’…”

“Is with you.”

My heart inexplicably trembled, and at the same time, several colorful light points shot out—suddenly, all the fairies from Nilu burst forth!

I had no time to ponder what was happening, for Nilu’s words continued.

She stood before me, blocking the light points in my line of sight, as if… she didn’t want me to leave.

“This last piece completed my whole self, and I am truly sorry: during those previous times when I was silent and withdrawn, I was digesting the content of this piece, contemplating and deciding what I should do next.”

[Nilu has intentions towards Oujilide.]

The script appeared abruptly once more. Although the content was not much different from what I had seen earlier with Nilu, it…

The mere fact that it appeared at this moment was enough to make me suspicious.

Suspicious of the script’s meaning; suspicious of Nilu’s words; suspicious of everything around me, because: at this moment, whether it was time, place, or characters, they all coincidentally fulfilled a troublesome script, a “purpose” that had once appeared in Nilu’s heart, the conditions under which it occurred.

“Nilu, what does it all mean?”

I lowered my voice and asked, “When you say memory, is it because… you remembered something?”

“Yes, it’s some very nostalgic, very beautiful, yet also very sad memories, making me regret my own helplessness and weakness back then.”

Nilu in front of me reached out, undoing the braid at the back of her head. Her long hair cascaded down, and at the moment she pressed her hand against her chest, the black cloak had already enveloped her maid outfit. The guise of the “former little maid” she had previously donned for “disguise” had… completely vanished.

Nilu had returned to the form she was meant to have now, the master of the fairies of the Rodmard Empire, the… final BOSS of the script.

At this moment, everything around us felt as if it had been cleared away, devoid of any noise, devoid of any passersby or distractions. The fairies that had just flown out from Nilu had isolated everything, leaving only the space for me and Nilu to be alone together.

And the script of Nilu, which had always been vague, finally changed at this moment, leaving me… unsure whether to cry or laugh, after all, its content was the very words I least wanted to see.

[Nilu intends to take Oujilide away.]

Returning to that “queen-like” state, Nilu appeared even more dangerous in my eyes than she had in her previous BOSS form, even more… insane, because at this moment, the gaze she directed at me had lost even the slightest hesitation of worrying whether “I would dislike her”!

“Mr. Oujilide, what I remembered is this: I will do whatever it takes to have you.”

“!”

“No matter who tries to obstruct; no matter when it is; no matter what your thoughts are, you… must be mine. In the past, present, and future, I will never let you escape again. After this, whatever form of apology or compensation I can offer you is fine, and I am more than willing to give you anything you want from me, but please remember…”

“You are mine, and you can never leave. In your eyes, there can only be me! Because you were meant to exist for me! Before, due to my incompetence, I willingly accepted your devotion to that woman’s protection, but now I have returned, and I have remembered, so…”

In the next moment, Nilu raised her hand, as if to “capture” me.

The script did not have time to display the following content; perhaps… it was simply because I had no chance to see it all.

“Please, once again, only look at me, and write the ‘prophecy’ just for me.”
