43. I hate it when others point guns at my head!
The script didn’t lie, and the part I was most worried about from the start: to be fair, agreeing to Reyef’s side’s request that “they could come armed” became the fuel for this crisis.
These extras, who followed Reyef and should belong to the “national salvation organization,” were clearly not dissatisfied with the negotiation and reconciliation results!? They were evidently well-prepared, some drawing weapons, others pulling out short staffs, with both martial skills and magic at the ready—ah, they were quite well-equipped.
As they roared their prepared lines, they raised their hands to launch an attack on Leiti, their tactics mirroring those from the academy’s award ceremony! But there was a fundamental difference!
【Reyef was unaware of the actions of her comrades!】
The script stated this clearly; it was evidently the extras acting on their own! However, I was aware, yet there was no time or opportunity to warn Leiti!
Having learned from past experiences, this time Leiti wouldn’t hesitate like before.
“Suka Blyat! Leyev! I knew you had bad intentions!”
In the cramped space, it was naturally impossible to raise a sword and let lightning strike down, but this did not affect Letty’s actions, whose patience had been completely worn out by this scene of “betrayal” once again!
She drew the pistol from her waist, and after a flash of fire, the extra who was swinging a sword at her was directly blasted against the opposite wall, instantly losing all breath!
“Wait, wait…”
Finally realizing what had just happened, Leyev still couldn’t calm down. Perhaps it was because the negotiation had clearly ended peacefully, yet such a thing suddenly happened, leaving her at a loss, not knowing what to do, just standing there dumbfounded.
“Ivan Letty! They are… acting strange!”
“What’s strange about you? The strange one is me, the emperor, who actually wanted to believe you Russian nobles for once.”
At this dangerous moment, Sister Rasputin immediately brought in the other Russian followers, not bothering to check if they had attacked the extras’ vital points, mercilessly and decisively “solving” them one by one. Letty also drew her gun, aiming at Leyev amidst the surrounding commotion.
“Clearly, I should have realized what kind of people you Russian nobles are since childhood.”
Seeing that the attack had failed, or rather… there was no chance at all, some of the extras directly begged for mercy, while others used magic to create a hole in the wall, attempting to escape. The Russian members guarding outside all rushed in, and the sounds of magic, explosions, and cold weapons clashing filled the air!
Having learned from past experiences, this time, trying to attack Letty again was impossible, let alone succeeding. After all, Sister Rasputin and her people were guarding the area! Were these extras out of their minds!?
Impossible!
So why did they…
The next moment, the appearance of the script forced me to shake off my wild thoughts!
[Letty shot Leyev, sparking a conflict with the Russian nobles!]
It wasn’t a death script, but such content couldn’t be ignored!
“Letty! Wait!”
I hurriedly tried to stop Letty, but the worst outcome had already occurred. The Thunder Fairy Joss, who had reluctantly given up her body to Letty after my persistent persuasion, had awakened at this moment! If Letty might still have some friendship with Leyev, making her slightly calm down, then… Joss, the “enhanced” irritable emperor, would not give the other party any chance to explain!
[Joss replaced Letty and shot Leyev!]
[Euclid’s persuasion failed!]
No, there’s no time! I can only use the most direct method!
I immediately rushed forward, tightly hugging Letty’s body. As the firelight emerged and the gunshot rang out, Letty’s bullet was deflected by my interference, and I shouted at Leyev.
“Explain later! Run! Do you want to die here!?”
If this matter isn’t explained clearly, everything I did before would be in vain. So even if I had to take risks, I absolutely couldn’t let Letty do something irreversible here!
My roar finally brought Leyev back to her senses a bit, but the current situation left her no chance to speak, not to mention it was hard to even save her life. In the end, Leyev instinctively listened to me, using her strength surpassing the Russian followers to escape from here.
Everything ended… not really, because after Leyev ran away, the unlucky one naturally became me!
[Joss shot Euclid out of anger!]
I immediately felt the sensation of something hard and dark pressing against my head. At the same time, Letty, now “Joss,” did what I had anticipated.
“Euclid! Don’t think I, the emperor, won’t send you to hell! In Russia, no one can defy my actions!”
“There is a reason for this…”
“Ha! Sukaburite! This Emperor has no time to waste! I just want to know: do you wish to pass on or do you want to live?!”
Of course, I want to live, but I want Reiti to be safe even more.
However, the irritable Thunder Fairy, Jousi, wouldn’t give me the chance or time to explain, so… I had no choice but to use some desperate measures to temporarily calm this fairy who had already pointed her firearm at my forehead.
“!”
Reiti’s hand trembled, for in the next moment, Kefir had already stood behind her, brandishing the magic sword Alsas.
“Ivan Reiti, what are you doing?”
“……”
The tense “Reiti” revealed a cold smile, “So you two dog lovers have planned this to deal with this Emperor, huh!?”
Plan? What a load of nonsense! Don’t think I want to play this kind of undercover game!
Kefir was originally supposed to be waiting outside, ready to step in when danger arose! But now, facing this troublesome fairy, if I didn’t let Kefir appear, I feared that the moment I opened my mouth to explain, I would be shot down by you.
“Just take it as it is, Jousi. So you start shutting your mouth now and listen to me explain what just happened!”
I couldn’t let Jousi do anything ridiculous with Reiti’s body. No matter what, those extras had already been dealt with; Sister Rasputin had taken her subordinates and escorted them away. Next, under Kefir’s “protagonist aura” protection, I could properly explain the situation on Reiyef’s side, and hopefully calm this irritable fairy down, right?
That was what I thought.
However, the moment I looked at the script…
【The Thunder Fairy Jousi is compromised!】
【Reiti is…】
The dangerous script involving Reiti and Jousi did not disappear; in fact…
【Kefir is in danger!】
And now there was also a Kefir!
This suddenly reminded me of those extras’ reckless attacks just moments ago! Just a bunch of extras, was the ability in the script that kept Reiyef in the dark really so unilateral? Or was it that…
Someone said something!?
And in this current situation, everyone had just relaxed from the attack, and Sister Rasputin had taken her subordinates to escort the people away…
It wasn’t over yet!
The danger was just beginning!
First, there was the death script on Reiti’s side, so the first to encounter danger was Reiti… and Jousi!
“!”
In the next moment, I tackled Reiti head-on!
【The Thunder Fairy Jousi and Reiti are…】
Something whizzed past my ear!
【Saved by Oujili!】
Script, nearly impossible to change!
