27. The Plot Every Ferris Wheel Will Have
With the script appearing, it reminded me that today Adele was once again playing her little games, wanting to change clothes and insist on going out with us, all actions perfectly aligned with her identity and outward attitude—comparing herself with Kephir.
Perhaps Adele thinks that as long as my relationship with Kephir hasn’t reached “that stage,” things like marriage certificates don’t count.
Phew~ My relationship with Kephir is not as simple as you, Your Majesty Adele, think. It’s not just filled with primal desire. Kephir has become more than just the strong leg that keeps me alive; now she holds much more “meaning” for me. At least, it won’t turn into a situation where “because you, Adele, won against Kephir, I’ll be disappointed in Kephir.”
Due to the secrets of the script, I naturally couldn’t say that, and Adele was quite unreserved in dealing with it. Thus, her “Plan C” began the moment she insisted on going out with Kephir and me.
First, on the bustling streets of the capital of the Prussian Kingdom, under the banner that if we were going to the “amusement park,” taking this bus was the only option, Adele dragged us onto what resembled a bus in my memory.
The crowded scene was similar to that of a bus, and Kephir, like a curious child, hugged my arm and asked questions.
“Carriages don’t have that kind of power, and I haven’t seen any animals, so what you’re saying is…”
“Powered by magic stones~” For some reason, Adélaïde, who had pulled a bit away from me, introduced it proudly. “This is one of the tools that embodies the magical technology of the Kingdom of Pruliss. By the way, didn’ t you guys from the Great Ying Empire buy some of our exports?”
Ah, that little pony classmate had already been crushed by Kephiel due to her sharp tongue and defiance, sometimes being too clever isn’t a good thing.
Introduction aside, Adélaïde certainly wouldn’t be kind, just watching as Kephiel clung to my arm, swaying “lovingly” with the bumps, even nearly resting her head on my shoulder.
In the next moment, the script revealed to me why Adélaïde was keeping her distance.
【The people in the magic stone carriage are all special personnel arranged by Adélaïde, responsible for shaking at the right moment, using the opportunity to make Adélaïde pounce on Euclid.】
Of course, this fairy’s pounce could not be allowed, especially since the whole thing was planned by Adélaïde. If she succeeded, I wouldn’t be able to explain myself.
So, I quickly used the contract link to inform Kephiel about this. Then, amidst a jolt, the passengers in the carriage inexplicably swayed in one direction, nervously watching as Adélaïde pretended to yell, “Ah ah ah, I’m falling!” while pouncing toward me…
Kephiel stepped in front of me, firmly catching Adélaïde.
“Guh…”
Adélaïde’s expression instantly became very pleasant, probably one of those looks that wanted to explode with anger but was helpless.
“Miss Adélaïde, if it really doesn’t work, I can let you hold my hand.”
“No need! Hey! Driver! Don’t stop! Drive straight to the amusement park!”
“But Your Majesty…”
“Your Majesty what, shut up!”
I had narrowly escaped a calamity, but this wasn’t over yet.
Because, if the magic stone carriage was just a “starter” prepared by Adélaïde, then the amusement park where all the staff had been temporarily replaced with her own people was the main course of Adélaïde’s plan.
Perhaps thinking that “acting cute” wouldn’t attract me, this time Adélaïde chose to challenge Kephiel’s strong suit—who had the more precise magical power! However, it wasn’t a direct magical confrontation on stage, but a way that gave Adélaïde , this fairy girl, a better chance of winning.
I saw Adélaïde take me and Kephiel to a booth in the amusement park, where several scattered guns were placed on the table, and in the distance, there were several targets painted with ugly orc faces. Each target had several holes, hinting at just how bad the relationship between the Kingdom of Pruliss and the Orcs’ Austro-Hungarian tribe truly was…
The problem wasn’t there, but with Adélaïde.
“This is a shooting game, but instead of using darts or hidden weapons, it’s a gun developed by our Kingdom of Pruliss, which doesn’t use bullets but magical ammunition!”
“A gun? I remember Russia…”
“Those idiots in Russia use all outdated stuff; how can gunpowder, that violent thing, compare to magical technology? By the way, that dwarf Letty’s firearm was a gift I gave her back then. Ah, Euclid, don’t go provoking Letty ~ she’s quite a temperamental dwarf.”
I had already provoked her and even became her brother…
This wasn’t really a problem, but as soon as I looked at the script…
【Kephiel’s gun has been tamped with.】
Sure enough, this was also arranged by Adélaïde.
So, as Adélaïde eagerly prepared to perform, Kephiel’s attitude, which had gradually changed from displeasure to helplessness, also, under my reminder, didn’t take the gun but waved her hand before the shooting range.
【Dong dong dong】
In the next moment, over a dozen ice spikes accurately pinned into the distant targets, right in the foreheads of all the Orcs.
“Miss Adave, can we go play the next one now?”
“Um…”
Adave looked even less willing, but the script finally revealed to me her hidden motive for targeting Kephir today.
So…
As the sun set, in the amusement park, I had secretly told Kephir the “prophecy,” and had given her a whole day with Adave, who ultimately took us to the legendary “Ferris wheel.”
According to her plan, she was supposed to create an accident here, then throw herself into my arms to act cute, until I either kissed her or became “flustered,” after which the arranged fairy would come to the rescue.
However, after a whole day of being given away, Adave seemed to have lost her fighting spirit and took a long time to start her plan.
So I had no need to hold back. After exchanging a glance with Kephir and gaining the big shot’s understanding, I slowly spoke up.
“Your Majesty Adave, aren’t you planning to create an accident on the Ferris wheel?”
“What…”
Adave, who had already seemed drained, looked up at me in surprise.
“How did you know… Did that idiot Mel let it slip…”
“How could that be? Don’t forget my identity…”
With a sigh, I continued, “What you want to do is fine, but let’s skip the part where you provoke my relationship with Kephir today. By the way, I also know what you’re worried about.”
“!”
Adave suddenly looked up, then dejectedly lowered her head again.
“Big.”
If I were really a big, I would have already played you for a fool.
“I just don’t want to…”
【Adave is worried that Kephir will elope with Oujilide!】
This was the purpose behind Adave’s actions today. If I bluntly said this in front of Kephir, I would inevitably have to kneel on a washboard tonight, so I had to find another way.
“Your Majesty Adave, Kephir and I have assured you, so you don’t need to worry about us running off midway. I, Oujilide, also keep my word. Since I promised you that we wouldn’t leave until we find the treasure , we won’t leave, including that person who stole the treasure. I will never let them go!”
This was no empty talk; stealing Kephir’s artifact and hindering her upgrade! That was my enemy! I couldn’t let this “BOSS,” whom I had never even seen but had a bad feeling about, roam free!
With that, Adave suddenly perked up a bit.
She raised her head, still looking at me with some doubt.
“Really?”
“Really!”
After all, the artifact, in conjunction with Kephir’s upgrade script, was not yet complete. How could I run away?
As for Adave, if conditions allowed and it was within a safe range, she could do whatever she wanted. After all, this was her Prussian Kingdom.
Finally, Adave’s expression turned cheerful!
“One word is a promise! Then I’ll take you to a place!”
Adafei jumped up directly, her face full of excitement as she pressed down on the long-eared one!
“Hey, Mel, let us down! The DEFG plan is completely canceled, we’re going to ‘that place’!”
【Adafei is more concerned about Oujili De!】
Accompanied by the script, my thigh also felt a sharp pinch from someone.
“Hmm…”
Big shot, that hurts, I really didn’t mean what you think! After all, it seemed that Adafei was taking us to the “main quest” next!
【Adafei decided to confess more insider information to Oujili De and Kefier!】
