54. Good Sisters
Ever since a few days ago, in that scene resembling a confession CG from a GAL game, when I unleashed a barrage of words at Nilu, who had transformed into a super big BOSS, I was surprised: not only did my script not present any dangerous death scenarios afterward, but even after that, Nilu really didn’t do anything excessive!?
Because for the past few days, it had been me and Kephier regularly swapping, accompanying Nilu to persuade those minor characters from small countries attending the summit of various nations, hoping they could acknowledge the existence of the royal power in the realm of the impossible in the final conclusion. Even in situations that made me uneasy with Kephier and Nilu together, they surprisingly didn’t fight on the spot!
How could this make me feel at ease!? Because even when the three of us were together, it was the same.
At this moment, it was the last day of Nilu’s persuasion of other nations, and it was a critical time! The hall of the summit was already filled with the minor characters of this summit; they had either been threatened or deceived over the past few days, and they had been timidly silent about Nilu’s ideas. What we needed to do was to make them acknowledge and guarantee in the end.
“So everyone, I should have already said, even if the royal power in the realm of the impossible is established, your ongoing trade with the realm of the impossible will not change. Rather, after the establishment of the royal power, I can manage the sources of information and security more conveniently. Even if you are considering your own interests, you should know what to do, right?”
Nilu’s words were already quite tempting, and Kephier… this relative of the queen of the Great Yng Empire, who was already capable of representing the empire by herself, also spoke up, sealing the conclusion of the matter.
“The attitude of the Great Yng Empire and several other empires is also consistent; as long as there are no excessive conflicts, the Great Yng Empire will lead in acknowledging the existence of the royal power in the realm of the impossible.”
A group of scattered minor characters was now without a leader, and at this moment, having a big boss leading them naturally meant their decision didn’t require me to think too much about the script. Although there were some arguments along the way, in the end… Nilu’s demand to establish the royal power in the realm of the impossible was still acknowledged by these minor characters and left to be officially enacted at the summit site later.
I didn’t care about that; what I cared about was: the current relationship and attitude between Kephier and Nilu.
Afterward, having perfectly completed the plan, the three of us left the venue ahead of schedule, and the doubts in my heart grew deeper because, could it be that Nilu really made some kind of promise to Kephier? Their relationship seemed to have shifted from a life-and-death struggle at the beginning to a slightly more harmonious state.
“Today, being able to obtain their promise, I am very grateful for both of your assistance.”
I saw Nilu bow her head to thank us, and her attitude was no longer as “cryptic” as when she first saw us.
“Mr. Ogilvy doesn’t need to say, Miss Kephier, thank you for your support just now.”
If it weren’t for that “Miss Kephier,” I would even suspect I had traveled back to the time when I had just met Nilu. Because not only had Nilu’s attitude become much more ordinary and harmonious, even Kephier…
“…Hmm.”
Kephier, who had long regarded Nilu as an enemy, unexpectedly responded to her this time, even if it was just a short sound; it represented that, at least for the time being, Kephier wouldn’t show hostility toward Nilu at any moment.
Could it be that my words had an effect that day? Did Nilu privately find Kephier afterward, and the two reached a reconciliation, turning into happy good sisters?
I couldn’t be sure, because the content in the current script only indicated [Nilu had some contact with Kephier privately].
And this made me feel so uncomfortable in the script: [Nilu and Kephier have a good relationship!]
What followed was even more absurd; after finishing her “surface attitude,” Nilu directly changed into her maid identity, and after driving away the fairies, she came to our side.
Here’s the translation of the excerpt you provided, with attention to word choice, phrasing, and atmosphere, while preserving the line breaks:
—
“In this way, my plan to arrive at the Great Yīng Empire is already more than halfway complete. Mr. Oujilide, and Miss, how about we take some time to stroll around the city like we used to?”
“Of course, if it’s just a simple stroll.”
Without any guard up, Ke Fei’er first agreed to Nilu’s request, then as if recalling something, she tugged at me, “Divine fool, don’t just stand there with a blank face. You weren’t thinking of something strange just now, were you?”
“Wha… what could that possibly be, hahaha~”
Things like harems, wings, and such—I swear I haven’t thought about any of that at all!
Shaking my head, I temporarily suppressed some unpleasant thoughts in my mind. To prevent Ke Fei’er from starting to suspect that I might be a “scumbag,” I hurried to keep up with the two women’s pace.
Ahead, the master and servant walked together, while I, as a mere appendage clinging to their legs, followed behind them. The scene was just like before, except… the changes in the script told me that it was far from being as simple as it appeared.
Because, even though Nilu and Ke Fei’er’s relationship seemed to have returned to what it once was, the most crucial script that I couldn’t ignore was still there, unyielding!
[Nilu killed Ke Fei’er out of jealousy!]
[Ke Fei’er became enemies with Nilu because of Oujilide.]
Why is the script so disjointed? I already had a faint suspicion in my heart.
On the other side, the bustling streets of the Great Yīng Empire.
After entering a women’s clothing store, the two women naturally shooed out Oujilide, who still wanted to play the fool. Then, like good sisters, they happily walked in, and under the recommendation of the staff, began trying on clothes one by one, enjoying this simple and pure joy.
“Miss, do you think this revised maid outfit looks good? I think it’s time to slightly change the maid’s image in front of him.”
“He probably doesn’t have the eye to appreciate it, Nilu.”
Ke Fei’er watched Nilu, who was happily trying on clothes. Although her face was indeed joyful, the hand resting on the Demon Sword Alsas had not left its place.
“That idiot’s taste is limited to looking at me; he probably doesn’t have the thieving heart to look elsewhere.”
With a confident smile, Ke Fei’er met Nilu’s gaze.
“Rest assured, he will have plenty of time to appreciate it later. I truly admire you, Miss; whether it’s your ignorant courage or reckless spirit, it’s made me start to soften~ As for him, it seems we’ve both tacitly agreed to keep things under wraps and not expose ourselves immediately.”
Listening to Nilu’s self-talk, Ke Fei’er felt relieved: thankfully, Oujilide wasn’t here; otherwise… he might come to dislike her.
Because the expressions on both her and Nilu’s faces were not pleasant at all.
“Because I need you to know who truly is unworthy.”
“Hahaha~ Miss, let’s continue trying on clothes; we shouldn’t keep him waiting too long~”
This was a “war” that Oujilide could not interfere in; it wasn’t about proving anything to this enemy before them, but rather about proving something to herself. This was the final decision she made after calming down. She couldn’t let that divine fool take risks; otherwise, even if she won against Nilu, she wouldn’t be able to prove her promise to him. Ke Fei’er’s existence was to protect him, not to be protected by him, just as this woman before she had mocked!
The time was almost upon them.
