33. Isn’t a French wet kiss fragrant?
First, with a casual wave, she knocked out my magical sword Alsace, leaving Kefier to protect me. Then she said something like “Now is our time alone~,” which sounded like something a dangerously scary yandere girl would say, and finally, she reached out her hand toward me!
Could it be that next, as a big man, I would have to endure something like reverse O or anti-OO from a girl like Nilu!? Just as my brain was still catching up to the reaction, Nilu’s hand was already reaching out, and then…
She pinched a strand of long hair from my shoulder, which was clearly not my hair.
“Mr. Oquilid, Alsace’s hair fell on you.”
It seemed that when I had asked Alsace about the fairies earlier, some had inadvertently fallen onto my shoulder because I was too close? Speaking of which, to notice even this, Nilu’s “concern” for me was indeed a bit too dangerous.
In the next moment, a spark ignited between Nilu’s fingers, and as she burned the hair clean, a hint of burnt smell mixed with a fragrant breeze wafted over as Nilu sat down beside me. If I didn’t think too much about Nilu’s current power and simply turned to glance at her profile, at this moment, Nilu was far more charming and dangerous to the opposite s*x than the timid and somewhat cowardly version of herself from before.
“Mr. Oquilid, although as a maid I shouldn’t pry into my master’s thoughts, I still dare to ask you: why have you suddenly become interested in my past fairies? Clearly, this has nothing to do with you, Mr. Oquilid .”
As she spoke, Nilu even tilted her head and leaned against my shoulder. The touch of her hair and skin resting on my neck and shoulder, along with the fragrance from her body, made me instinctively feel danger, yet it also stirred a hint of the uncontrollable thoughts that every man has.
Though I felt a bit sorry for Kefier, I truly didn’t dare to move right now. Even though my posture was merely a beautiful maid leaning on my shoulder and acting cute, the maid leaning on my shoulder was actually the “big BOSS” of the entire script!
“Your presence in the Rodmar Empire represents your willingness to see my proof to you, and I am very glad about that. However, if possible, I hope that when we meet and interact, you can pay more attention to me rather than those fairies who might be much cutter than I am.”
“I am paying attention to you.”
I didn’t intend to beat around the bush, as Nilu’s attitude toward me was absolutely genuine. If I were to deceive her using this point, then I might not even be worthy of clinging to Kefier’s thigh.
“Because you are my enemy, I need to understand your identity and power. Otherwise, do you think I would come to the Rodmar Empire to meet you?”
Turning my face to meet Nilu’s gaze, I spoke this sentence without reservation, right in front of Nilu, who was almost hugging my waist and looking up at me. And indeed, I was not lying; Nilu was my enemy, and I needed to know her identity and power. What I was concealing was only the part that I wanted to use Nilu’s power and her fairies to find Kefier’s upgrade script and main storyline in the Rodmar Empire.
This was the biggest concession and response from Nilu, who was expressing her feelings toward me in the script while remaining my absolute enemy. I certainly couldn’t take advantage of her feelings for me just because she was the BOSS!
In the next moment, however, Nilu wrapped her arms around my waist, tilted her head back, and in her gaze, there was a hint of cunning that she would never reveal on ordinary days.
“Enemy, you mean the kind that’s about to kiss you?”
Here’s the translation of the excerpt you provided, with attention to word choice, phrasing, and atmosphere, while preserving the line breaks:
—
What can I do? You brought this upon yourself!
【Nilu wants to give Euclid a wet kiss!】
Such a script popped into my mind.
“…”
You better not actually think or do anything like in the script, Nilu! Being held by you makes me too timid to move, but if you go any further, I will really have to resist!
After a moment of hesitation, sensing my wariness, Nilu finally withdrew her eager gaze that had been fixed on my lips. Just as I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the joy she displayed made my heart leap into my throat, regretting whether I had said something wrong again, causing Nilu some strange misunderstanding!
“Indeed, Mr. Euclid, you have always been so concerned about me. I am your enemy, but… it’s only because I am that woman’s enemy that you see me as one, right?”
“!”
“So you wouldn’t deceive me by manipulating my feelings, but instead, you would honestly tell me everything. Ah~ so this is the kind of you that I admire…”
I didn’t know how to respond because… maybe Nilu was right. In the script, Nilu had long been the mortal enemy of Kephier, which is why I treated her as an enemy. Otherwise, with how Nilu currently views me in the script , my “self-control” as a man probably wouldn’t last long.
Without Kephier’s existence, I would never be able to escape from the “trap” Nilu had set for me.
“Although I don’t want to reveal too much of my past, if you want to know, I can tell you. I will share it with you.”
“I granted new powers to the fairies with potential, including Alsace, who were once my closest servants. However, my failure was also due to these close servants; it’s likely… because of those ‘special’ fairies I exiled, who had made mistakes in the past.”
【Kephier’s ‘treasure’ is related to the special fairies Nilu mentioned!】
The script appeared, and I knew I shouldn’t ask, yet I instinctively did!
“What kind of fairies are they, and where are they now?”
Because without a doubt, Kephier’s “treasure” is these fairies Nilu speaks of. They probably have nothing to do with those around Nilu now, but rather some we have yet to find, whose identities have not yet been revealed!
Kephier’s “upgrade and treasure-seeking” plot begins here! The powerful fairies treated as traitors will naturally become Kephier’s “treasures” and “means of upgrading”!
“They are highly self-disciplined fairies; even without a master, they can dominate on their own. Since I severed my contract with them, I don’t know their whereabouts. But what I can confirm is: they are the culprits behind the destruction of the Rodmar Empire. If I encounter them… I will not let them go!”
With that, Nilu stepped away from me, as if sensing what I might do, sincerely reminding me.
“Mr. Euclid, if you wish to find them, I can tell you the location of the ruins that record their identities. Even if it means letting you go alone with that woman, I can pretend I didn’t see. However… if you plan to do so, even if you are protecting yourself, I must respond accordingly to that woman. Mr. Euclid, I will not allow Kephier to obtain those dangerous traitorous servants and pose a threat to me.”
【There are clues about ‘traitor’ fairies within the Rodmar Empire!!】
【Nilu knows the location of the ruins!】
【Nilu killed the ‘traitor’ fairies!】
【Euclid dies during the investigation!】
Kephier’s main storyline emerges, but… it also comes with the dangerous script brought by Nilu!
This is a sudden clash of conflicting scripts, and with the shock of the death script, I realized: it’s time to make a decision!
Should I continue to drag out Nilu’s goodwill, trying to find a way to make her let go of her hostility towards Kephier, or… should I not be a hesitant Cheng Ge, and express my true feelings?
“I need to leave for a while to confirm some things, Nilu…”
“I will respect your choice, Master. Because… what I want to gain by eliminating that woman is just this kind of you~”
—
I hope this captures the essence and atmosphere of the original text!
Nilu watched me with a smile as I hurried away with Arthas, who had transformed back into his sword form.
[Nilu wants to obtain Oujilide!]
This script lingered in my mind, showing no signs of fading until I left the secret palace of the Rodmar Empire.
