45. I have thick skin, I am shameless, I am noble

I look at the person before me, who clearly appears to be a standard military cute fluffy creature, yet is actually the supreme leader of the Rosia Empire, the Rosia Emperor’s yellow-haired Pikachu. I can’t say I admire her, nor can I say I dislike her.

I can’t say “I’m admiring” because there has always been a part in Letty’s script that says “kill me.” Compared to liking me, she is more interested in me simply because she finds me “fun,” wanting to entangle with me. This is just pure tyranny and shamelessness, right?

I can’t say I dislike her because, compared to the previous minor characters or the likes of Louis the Twenty-Third, Letty seems like a major BOSS to me. Although she has her rogue points, at least we can communicate, and she possesses the most basic intelligence and emotional intelligence, rather than just thinking about “causing trouble for the protagonist.”

The previous spy incident affected not just me but also involved Letty, so I decided: perhaps I should consider temporarily bringing Letty on board.

Of course, not this fluffy creature in front of me, who is currently thinking about some “wall slam confession.”

While I keep my guard up for the possibility of “Letty getting angry and killing me,” I take a deep breath and say, “Emperor Letty, there are some things you are still too young for; you should find someone else in the future . The reason I met with you alone today is to tell you some news that is best kept between the two of us: I may have found the ‘spy’ that made you so furious before.”

“!”

Should I say that she truly deserves to rule such a warlike empire as Rosia? Just a moment ago, Letty was shyly acting like a young girl, but suddenly she snapped back to seriousness. Not tall enough, she tiptoed to get closer, her face stern as she grabbed my collar.

“Who is it?”

I suspect it’s Moriarty, who had staged a scene in front of me and almost slashed my throat! But I have no evidence; I know this from the script!

This is clearly something I cannot say. The Rosia Empire values ​​martial prowess, and they trust their fists more than any goddess. The priest prophecies popular in the Great Ying Empire simply do not work in Rosia.

So I can’t say that either. Acting mysterious and invoking prophecies in front of Letty—wouldn’t that be courting death? When they captured the charlatan O’Keefe, the Rosia Empire was the most ruthless in doing so.

Moreover, I need this information to negotiate.

“I can’t say for now.”

“Ha! Are you playing with me!?”

【Letty, feeling displeased, pulled out a gun and shot O’Keefe!】

As soon as the script emerged, Letty had already drawn her firearm, the dark muzzle poking directly at my chest, accompanied by her cold smirk: “In the Rosia Empire, no one has the right to conceal anything from me. Big brother, you are the first to dare to say this so openly, so I, the Emperor, give you three seconds to reconsider your words~”

This is the reason I must keep it hidden.

With Letty’s personality, if she confirmed who the spy is, she would likely send someone to blow up Professor Moriarty’s house immediately, destroying both person and property! But until I find evidence or catch them in the act, such actions would only lead to Kephir’s intervention, as her current attitude towards her mentor is still in the stage of suspicion.

Letting the true protagonist be used like this? Wouldn’t I become the ultimate villain in the script? Therefore, even if it means risking my life to negotiate with Letty, I must find a way to ensure this fluffy creature provides assistance without being too impulsive.

On the other hand, Letty’s urging is leisurely, though a bit quick.

“One—three—”

Emperor, is there no two in your dictionary!?

The moment Letty clicked the safety off, I immediately spoke up: “We are still in the suspicion stage!”

“My principle is: better to wrongfully kill a thousand than to let one escape. Big brother, you don’t need to care how high the other person’s status is; as long as I verify it’s correct, even if it’s the King of Heaven , I will take them down!”

“But doing so will affect our project competition. I hope you can cooperate with us, and once we have sufficient evidence, we can…”

“Blet! Do you expect me to wait while you slowly look for someone in this mood!?”

I spread my hands, unbothered.

“Then there’s nothing I can do. If you don’t agree, for the sake of the project competition, I can only keep my mouth shut.”

This isn’t because I want to seek death, but because at the moment I voiced my guess, the script where Letty just wanted to “shoot me dead” had already vanished! The current script is merely: 【Letty wants to scare Oujili to force him to tell the truth.】

So why should I panic? As the main villain, my specialty is to keep my mouth shut and play dead.

“You! Do you believe this Emperor can make you not even let out a fart!?”

Letty, in a fit of excitement, jabbed my chest with even greater force, but ultimately, just as the script indicated, she still didn’t pull the trigger.

Then, this little furball, out of nowhere, shot me a fierce glare filled with jealousy.

“Is that white-haired girl’s business really that important to you!? Blet!”

“…Yeah, it’s that important.”

It concerns my life, and besides… I don’t want Clefair’s growth to hit any bumps.

“You! Just wait, Blet!”

Letty stomped her foot, her mood probably at an all-time low, and with a flash of lightning, she smashed the door to pieces before running out!

“Lady Letty! What are you doing…”

“Want to go plant potatoes!? Shut up and go back to watch him!”

Phew… Letty’s domineering personality led to a complete lack of any “cooperation” this time, and now things are a bit troublesome.

Because this little furball is just too difficult to handle.

【Letty is too proud to lower herself to agree.】

【Letty is very jealous of Clefair, but she doesn’t quite understand it herself.】

Isn’t this just jealousy…

With the script as it is, I can only go to Clefair’s side and cling to her leg to prevent her from encountering any unnecessary troublesome scripts.
