60. Don’t tell me what to do! -2
【Leiti was attacked and killed by Lin Ke! The timeline is subsequently disrupted!】
【Oujili died tragically while trying to protect!】
The dangerous script that had always existed, from its specific appearance to the start of action, happened in an instant! So, having seen it in advance… no, I should say I had this “premonition” long ago and had already been preparing, there was no way I would let everything in the script happen! It’s not just the protagonist Kephir who can change the script; I, who can see the script, can do it too!
I pulled Leiti into my arms and then tried to knock the weapon out of Lin Ke’s hand. After all, her actions seemed so stiff and wooden, almost as if they were “pre-programmed”! But how could the “death script” be something that could be completely avoided so easily!?
“Hiss…”
Accompanied by a sharp pain in my arm, I finally realized that in my attempt to help Letty escape danger, my arm, which I had extended to shield her, had already been “marked”! Though it was unbearable, it was still far more friendly than the outcome of “death, death, death”!
In the next moment, I shook off Rinka’s arm, watching as the weapon in her hand transformed into a wisp of black mist, immediately dissipating into the night!
“Su Ka Bu Lie Te!”
Having barely escaped the dangerous scenario, Letty, whom I had embraced, no longer cared about feeling shy. Compared to me, she was the one who truly understood how perilous the previous moment had been!
She cast a lingering glance at Rinka, her attitude becoming increasingly irritable!
“Woman of the Meri United Kingdom, have you lost your mind!? Or do you want to kill the donkey after the grind!?”
“Letty, calm down!”
I quickly grabbed Letty, who was ready to confront Rinka, knowing that despite the danger, I understood the reason behind what had just happened!
“This time, it’s really not Rinka’s fault. Just look at her!”
Because the Rinka who had acted that way was not the real Rinka. This doesn’t mean someone was impersonating her, but rather…
【Rinka was commanded to act by a fairy!】
The real Rinka had been “controlled.”
I watched as Rinka’s body began to move uncontrollably like a marionette with its strings cut after her attack on Letty failed. Finally, at the moment she collapsed, a spark flew from Rinka’s eyes, shooting into the distant night, and she lost consciousness, her body falling without warning!
I rushed over to support Rinka, but… at first glance, this seemed like a scene of “crisis averted,” yet in reality, it was the complete opposite. The previous scenario had already informed me: Rinka’s actions were commanded by a “fairy ,” and such a clear indication could only point to the fairy named Jias who was by Nilu’s side!
And this naturally indicated one thing: the crisis had only just begun! Our group had not truly “escaped” at all!
“Letty, stop being angry and be careful.”
Letty was not just a little girl throwing a tantrum, so at the moment I reminded the now-silent Letty, I followed her gaze and looked towards the place where that spark had vanished into the night, discovering the “greatest threat” in this scenario .
“Your Majesty would never! It’s just that big brother, it seems… we’ve been discovered by Bulete.”
That’s right, Letty, it seems we can no longer avoid this scenario.
【Nilu has discovered the whereabouts of Oujilide!】
Like a shadow, the black-clad, black-haired Nilu seemed to have been waiting for us, emerging from the darkness in the distance, then slowly walking towards me. The weapon formed from black mist, and the spark that had flown from Rinka’s eyes, all returned to her body, which made the implications all too clear.
“Good evening, Mr. Oujilide.”
In the next moment, the scenario unfolded, clearly revealing Nilu’s actions, or rather… her purpose this time!
【Nilu intends to swiftly and easily destroy the Thunder Fairy by killing Letty!】
【Rinka was “commanded” to act by the fairy Jias!】
I… was indeed too naive. I only knew that Nilu’s purpose included “destroying the thread,” but I never expected that for this goal, she would so callously involve Letty, who wielded the thread sword!
In the scenario, this was indeed the most convenient method to destroy the thread, but how could I possibly turn a blind eye to such actions!
“Just now, you managed to stop her actions. It seems you ‘predicted’ it, didn’t you?”
“Is there any other answer, Nilu?”

And more than all of this, what worries me even more right now is what’s happening with Ke Fei Er! After all, Lin Ke was early on given the “command” by Ji Ya Si, and now Ke Fei Er, who left alone before us…
“So, Ni Lu, Ke Fei Er, she…”
“Although I would like to handle it personally, this time… I prioritize your safety here, okay~”
With a smile, the words between the lines confirmed that Ni Lu was already aware of our “retreat plan”! I took a closer look and saw that Ni Lu, who appeared tonight, was slightly different from usual; not only was she wearing a maid outfit, but her cloak had also vanished, and the flower crown atop her head seemed to be gone!
【Ni Lu sent several fairies to find and delay Ke Fei Er!】
Indeed, there were obstacles on Ke Fei Er’s side! However, this time Ni Lu did not directly seek trouble with Ke Fei Er, indicating that what she valued more was definitely my side…
In other words…
“After all, Mr. Oujili De, you may not understand.”
Ni Lu’s voice suddenly turned cold, her gaze locking onto Reiti, no, onto the alien sword that Reiti had already drawn! The coldness in her eyes was like a sharp blade, making me, as an observer, feel a piercing pain!
“But the fairies you sent to find that woman are extremely, extremely dangerous fairies. Their selfish actions are one thing, but this time they even want to put you in danger.”
“I won’t stop you from going wherever you want, but this time… please let me eliminate the dangers around you, including Ke Fei Er~”
Dangerous fairies…
Although Ni Lu’s words about Ke Fei Er were entirely her own opinion, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of resonance regarding the part about the fairies!
However, such words that couldn’t even be considered an excuse still led Ni Lu to take even more dangerous actions! I absolutely wouldn’t allow her to disrupt Ke Fei Er’s “script” or damage Ke Fei Er’s treasures!
But to stop Ni Lu from doing something was simply too far-fetched for me, because at that very moment, Reiti, who had just been wondering “why she wasn’t furious,” suddenly sprang into action!
It turned out she wasn’t “scared silly” or “not angry” at all, but rather…
Controlled!
The wind howled, and lightning flashed! After a surge of lightning, Reiti, who had transformed from a midget into a mature woman, no, it was the Cosmic Silk that had broken through her original form and once again occupied Reiti’s body, charging at Ni Lu with a violent and terrifying aura, sword in hand!
“Ni·Lu!! This Emperor has awakened again!!!”
Such reckless behavior, akin to a suicide squad, would undoubtedly put Reiti’s body in unpredictable danger! Ni Lu was right about this part; this fairy was far too casual, far too dangerous!!
【Cosmic Silk occupied Reiti’s body, intent on taking revenge on Ni Lu!】
【Reiti’s body is harmed, death!】
The danger surrounding Reiti became increasingly apparent!
