2. Did you win the lottery!?

Unlike the previous time in the Rosia Empire, when Kfir wanted to leave but was met with various “obstacles” from Letty, this time, Letty made a confession that I honestly didn’t know how to respond to. However, after I brushed it off with a laugh, this little midget didn’t resort to any dangerous actions like “sending a strongman from the Rosia Empire to drag me back.” In fact, even the slight death scripts that Letty, as the “BOSS,” had always had in store for me vanished entirely at that moment!

Afterward, worried that the heavy snow would complicate our departure, Letty even had Sister Rasputin bring people to escort Kfir and me out of the snow-laden Rosia Empire, ensuring we returned safely to the territory of the Great Yng Empire.

That’s right, it was just Kfir and me. The essence of Jousis didn’t directly transform into a blonde big sister to tag along as a third wheel. As a self-disciplined fairy, she simply gave Kfir a kiss, transferring the power to summon lightning to her, and would only appear in a crisis, rather than being by our side like Alsas. This was something I had understood the moment I “recognized her as my master,” and for two people who would argue upon meeting, it was the best approach.

And then…

“What are you looking at?”

The bumpy ride meant that nothing romantic or heartwarming happened between Kfir and me on our way back. At some point, perhaps unable to hold back any longer, Kfir poked my cheek, waking me from my daydreaming.

“We’re almost home, what are you thinking about?”

Kfir’s complaining expression was as if she were saying: How can you be daydreaming when I’m right here next to you!? It was then I realized that while I had been lost in thought, we had already entered the capital of the Great Yng Empire and were about to return to Kfir’s home!

“Nothing, nothing at all…”

I forced myself to focus. What I had been thinking about were just some things Kfir didn’t need to worry about: the remaining fairies.

The fairies I learned about earlier at the altar in the Rodma Empire weren’t just the lightning fairy Jousis. Should I say that the “main storyline” is indeed hard to come by? After obtaining Jousis, I hadn’t discovered any new scripts with Kfir for so many days. As for the remaining fairies like the “Moon Fairy” and “Insight Fairy,” there hadn’t been any more information appearing…

I had been looking around in circles, but the script’s response to me was quite simple.

【Don’t ask, just know it’s time for benefits.】

This is too straightforward!

However, what’s even more straightforward than this script is yet to come! Quietly returning to Kefir’s home, we had just brought up our luggage when we encountered Uncle Zerola, whom we hadn’t seen in a long time. After all, his precious daughter had been away abroad for a long time, so it was only natural for this father to give Kefir the warmest welcome upon her return. He…

As soon as he saw us, his expression changed, and he immediately put on a smile that I found disgusting, starting to slyly stare at… his precious daughter Kefir’s lower abdomen.

It was too obvious what he was looking at, so much so that I didn’t even need to look at the script to know the result. Look… what are you looking at!? Not to mention there’s nothing there, and even if there was, it’s only been a couple of months, how could it be showing already!?

“Ahem!”

To prevent Kefir from noticing and giving her father a beating, I immediately made some noise out of sympathy. However, Uncle Zerola’s first reaction after snapping back to reality was not to cover up, but to be even more blatant!

“You’ve returned safely, Kefir, Euclid. So… how was the snowy scenery of Rosia’s cold season? Wasn’t it particularly romantic!?”

“It was… okay.”

Kefir, thinking of something, turned her blushing face away, but soon… that shyness turned into shame and anger. After all, the question Uncle Zerola asked upon his return was too straightforward.

“So, did you two do it!? Did you use protection or not!? Outside? Inside!? How many times!? Did you hit the jackpot!? Do you want your father to take you to the lottery center to check!?”

For a daughter who had been away for a long time and just returned home, the first thing you say is this… Uncle, you can’t blame me if you get beaten up by your daughter…

“Father! Do you want to see my new power!?”

Kefir skipped the “shame and anger” stage altogether, grabbed a broom from a passing maid who was eavesdropping outside! In the next moment, the power of lightning crackled, and with a “smack,” the stick hit Uncle’s butt, making him shiver all over!

Uncle, speaking with a voice tinged with electricity, was overjoyed: “Good girl! You seem to have gotten stronger!? What is this power?”

“It’s the power of lightning, from the lightning fairy that Kefir obtained.”

I explained to the uncle, who was running around the house being chased by Kefir, “The fairy is self-disciplined and won’t follow, but the power can indeed be used by Kefir, and if necessary, it can be summoned directly.”

The uncle, running around and laughing happily, said: “I see, the power of lightning is rare and domineering, ordinary elemental defenses are nothing under the power of lightning. Precious daughter, why don’t you celebrate with him somewhere?”

Hey, uncle, don’t look at me, I don’t want to get involved.

However, from the uncle’s happy but not surprised attitude just now, it was clear that he was also knowledgeable about “lightning magic” and even fairies!? Just as I was struggling with Kefir’s “script” and “fairies,” perhaps seeking clues from someone like the uncle wasn’t a bad idea?

Unable to catch up with her father due to the difference in experience, Kefir finally threw down the broom in frustration, panting slightly as she came to my side and grabbed my arm.

“Let’s go, don’t bother with this henpecked old pervert!”

Kefir, your words hurt me a bit.

“Let’s go report to Sister Wang, she’s already urged us several times about our schedule.”

“We can, but…”

However, it seems unnecessary now.

The moment the script appeared, my gaze was already directed outside the door. The maid who had just had her broom taken away was kneeling there, waiting for a familiar figure to walk in with innocent joy.

“No need to come find me~ I just happened to visit Zerola today, and unexpectedly ran into you two coming back! Welcome home~ Kefir, Euclid~”

It was Queen Louise IV, and…

【Queen Louise IV came immediately upon Euclid’s return.】

In the queen’s dictionary, there is no such thing as “by chance.” I knew she wouldn’t wait for us to find her; instead, she would tightly control our itinerary.

“By the way, it seems quite lively here just now! What are you all happily discussing? Can I join in?”

The queen’s starry eyes sparkled as she blinked.

Sigh… Your Majesty, tell me, what dangerous scheme do you have in mind for me this time?
