61. Is this the self-disciplined fairy?
From the moment the lightning fairy Cosmic Silk occupied Reiti’s body to the start of the retreat plan, I had been trying every means to make this “upgraded version” of Reiti behave more obediently. I pushed her down and was pushed down in return, all while trying hard to find evidence to prove that this was all to make her aware of her current dangerous situation, to not be so reckless.
After all, the appearance of Cosmic Silk inevitably meant that Reiti’s body would be occupied, and I was worried about both Reiti’s safety and the safety of her as a “treasure.” However, it seems that my earnest words fell on deaf ears; the moment she saw Ni Lu, she was immediately blinded by hatred, directly occupying Reiti’s body and transforming, ready to fight Ni Lu to the death!

Nilu’s fairies were all gathered around her now, and Nilu herself was no longer a weak rookie; she had become the big boss who had regained her memories. Though Zeus was fierce, what gave her the confidence to think she could take on an entire team by herself!?
However, before I could intervene, Zeus, having taken over Letty’s body and transformed into a mature woman, was already laughing maniacally as she summoned the thunder from the rolling dark clouds, charging towards Nilu.
Rather than being brave but foolish, it was more like she had fallen into a frenzied state, much like a Viking berserker!
“Nii·Lu! It seems letting your dog go last time was indeed somewhat effective… because now, I get to see you directly!”
The lightning on Zeus’s sword shifted from yellow to blue, eventually seeing into purple. Her pace quickened, and in an instant… she transformed into a leaping bolt of lightning, rushing towards Nilu with dazzling speed!
Yet, at the moment she aimed to collide with Nilu, a flickering, eerie green light surrounded Nilu! The fairies leaped out one after another, reaching out to intercept the light that Zeus had become! After being “bounced” back one last time, Zeus swung her sword, the purple lightning that had already clung to it connecting with the descending thunder from the sky, charging towards Nilu with unstoppable force!
“What’s wrong!? Aren’t you going to praise this Emperor’s meeting gift like it’s as beautiful as fireworks!? This Emperor has been asleep for so long because of your own foolishness!”
“…”
Nilu remained silent, and the roaring lightning quickly engulfed her.
I admit Zeus was strong; her power as a fairy surely surpassed that of Alsas. But… could things really be resolved so simply!? Did Nilu not know of Zeus’s strength!?
In the next moment, the script unfolded!
【Lightning Fairy Zeus, Level 8 Lightning Magic, a fairy who wields the power of thunder, reckless yet powerful, loves to say ‘Suka Bulete’.】
“Hahaha! Suka Bulete! Nilu, don’t back down! This Emperor isn’t done yet!? You think you can just play dead and run away after sealing me for so long? That’s too easy for you, isn’t it !?”
Zeus believed Nilu had no means to fight back, and her confidence drove her deeper into the thunderclouds, but…
A dangerous script followed the description of Zeus!
【Zeus’s power has not fully recovered since just awakening!】
【Zeus has been defeated by Nilu!】
I knew this would be the outcome! That’s why I wanted to stop it, because… this fairy’s value aside, she was using Letty’s body!
Sure enough, the scene unfolding in the thunderclouds rendered Zeus unable to “wake up.” I could vaguely see Nilu flick her cloak, and the magical wind that burst forth immediately dispersed the surrounding thunderclouds.
“Zeus~ thank you for your past contributions to the Rodmar Empire.”
The black flames ignited on the black longsword in Nilu’s hand, and after the cloak blew away the thunderclouds, she soared into the sky, spinning and swinging her sword.
Zeus was sent crashing into a tree, her sword flying from her hand! The black mist sliced through everything in Nilu’s line of sight like a blade, even the trees around me fell as if they had been neatly cut down by a lumberjack, yet. ..I remained unscathed!
Under normal circumstances, I should have been split apart by now, right? But…
【Nilu did not kill Oujilide!】
What I should be concerned about isn’t this! Because now, Zeus was far more dangerous than I was!
After crashing into the tree, Zeus coughed up blood but laughed even more savagely, her left hand transforming into claws as she lunged at Nilu!
“Nilu!!”
However, a crown of flowers shone above Nilu’s head, and an almost invisible “claw” seized Zeus’s body before she could act!
“But, for the safety of Mr. Oujilide, a fairy like you has reached the point where destruction is necessary.”
【Nilu has destroyed Zeus! At the same time, she has also killed Letty!】

One loss means all lose! What I worry about is that I won’t let Zousi “take revenge”!
But now it’s too late. In the script, Nilu shows her hand without the slightest hesitation, completely unlike those verbose villains who at least give me some chance for banter!
As for safety!? Nilu, the only one who can keep me “safe” is the protagonist, Kefier, so I won’t let you disrupt Kefier’s “script” and “treasures” again! As for the method…
Before the right moment arrives, I can only “give it a shot.” Who told Zousi, this fairy, to be so difficult to control!?
“Zousi!”
At the moment when Nilu’s script was about to unfold, I couldn’t care less about my own situation and shouted out, hoping this fairy could still understand a bit of human speech!
“If you don’t want to die, come to me!”
As the fairy of thunder, Zousi is not Reiti, so it’s not just her who can use Zousi!
In the next instant, the sword that had just been knocked away and stuck in the ground shook, then transformed into a flash of lightning that flew into my hand, while Reiti, who had just been caught by claws, returned to her little midget form , fainting and falling from the gap!
“Zousi! Everything I told you, you’ve forgotten!”
“Su Ka Bu Lie! Don’t tell me what to do!”
If I hadn’t told you, you would have already been split in half!
With no time to think further, I immediately met Nilu’s surprised and worried gaze! Zousi’s immense power made me feel uncomfortable all over, but this fairy at least had some sense and didn’t directly take over my body!
“Mr. Oujilide! I should have told you! The fairies you found are completely uncontrollable and extremely dangerous!”
“Nilu, whether it’s dangerous or not is not for you to decide.”
Before the words fell, a black mist flickered! Fortunately, I had been keeping an eye on the script, barely managing to retreat a few steps using the power granted by Reiti to dodge!
Upon closer inspection, Nilu, who had just been far from me, had already appeared right in front of me. If I hadn’t dodged, the Zousi sword in my hand would have probably been broken in two.
“Mr. Oujilide, please believe me.”
“…”
I didn’t respond.
The script then struck.
“Then please forgive my rudeness this time.”
【Nilu attacks Oujilide.】
This time, what I had to face was no longer the maid who wouldn’t go hard on me.
