47. Forbidden Forbidden Forbidden Nesting Dolls
In the past, when facing any danger or enemy, I could rely on my script to gain an advantage, at least allowing me to escape, but this time, my biggest reliance – the script – was completely useless from the start, and even exposed my current thoughts to the Moon Demon King, which was a complete side effect!
But I have no choice now! The Moon Demon King’s presence here proves that the Little Girl King’s side is safe, and I have no other way but to do this “moths to a flame” kind of useless struggle!
【Moon Demon King El’s power is… Do you want to know?】
I used my script again, but unfortunately… the result was the same as before.
【If you put aside your prejudices against me, I’m not unwilling to tell you…】
At this moment, my script had completely become the Moon Demon King’s messenger! And the next moment, El, who seemed to be tired of playing, finally opened her mouth.
“Otherwise, I wouldn’t want to let some strange dangers run amok in the Great Empire uncontrolled. Powerful things should be controlled, and this is also a phrase El borrowed from me to deceive you, haha! Because that ‘Her Majesty the Queen’ can’t represent the will of the Great Empire, Euklid, don’t you think?”
【Better take another look at your script, okay?】
【Euklid was killed by the Moon Demon King.】
The next instant, I discovered a light ball had appeared by the window, and it was like it had absorbed the moonlight from outside, radiating a cold, clear light that “shone” towards me!
“!”
This script was real!
【Whoosh】
The light was like a laser cannon, and the next moment, it had already dug a big hole in the ground where I was standing! As I was holding my breath in tension, El’s sympathetic sigh had already sounded from the side.
“You’ll react when, you want to hide where, what you were thinking just now, I know everything. It’s just that I wanted to scare you a bit.”
“Because you really did deceive me today, at least in understanding your purpose from those humans’ thoughts, and then rushing back before I knew you had discovered my identity and power.”
“So I’m giving you a chance, Euklid, to surrender with your ‘sword’ to me. The Great Empire’s ‘will’ is ‘pardoning’ you, what are you waiting for?”
“Sword”…
Hmph…
I originally didn’t want to agree, but after that woman said this, not only did I not want to agree, I even wanted to hurl a fragrant “Suka Buli Te” at her.
Surely, this thought has already been “seen” by Iris, right? But even so, I still had words I wanted to say directly to this fairy. Even if she was the “treasure” and “main line” in the Kephir script, it seemed better not to follow this line!
“It seems you really like to treat us as objects, Moon Fairy.”
In the next moment, I… raised my middle finger at Iris, “But Kephir is definitely not some ‘sword,’ so screw you, old hag!”
“Hahahaha~ Oqilid, you’re much more interesting than Ludwig~”
As she spoke, Iris waved her unprotected hand lightly…
I felt a dizzying sensation, as if I had been lifted and thrown forward by a dozen strong men! And before I could even fall and roll, that thing that had just “shot lasers” at me appeared again!
Quick, I should dodge in the script…
No! I can’t look at the script this time! Because in my line of sight, the smile in the Moon Fairy Iris’s eyes, which reflected the crescent moon’s glow, clearly indicated that she was attacking my dodging position on purpose, knowing that I had “script hints”!
[Whoosh]
I forcibly stopped my dodging motion, the cold light barely grazing my neck as it flew past.
“Do you know why I find you interesting? Because you’re the first human who can make me feel like playing ‘rock-paper-scissors.’ I’ll lower the moon’s magic to a level that won’t kill you~ Now let me have some fun~”
In the next moment, one, two… five, six… more “cannons” appeared around me.
“Guess when I looked at your ‘script’ and when I didn’t~ If you guess them all right, I might agree to acknowledge Kephir as my master~ Hahaha~”
This woman!
No, now is not the time to be angry. By instinct, look at the script!? Stay still, or run around!? A couple of times I could rely on luck, but if I could dodge this moonlight cannon that was like a giant windmill, I might as well go buy a lottery ticket.
[Whoosh]
First shot, no… don’t look at the script!
[Whoosh]
Second shot, still not looking!
[Whoosh]
Third shot, then I’ll look…
*Cough…*
My shoulder suddenly felt like it had been smashed down by a giant hammer, and I staggered, nearly falling!
“What a pity~ You guessed wrong this time, Oqilid~” The Moon Fairy’s triumphant laughter rang out, “But if you can dodge all the next ones, you can still get the second prize~ I can dress up as Louise and let you touch me, no problem~”
If I were to touch, it would be the long legs of the young queen, who would want to touch the stinky feet of an old hag!
The fourth shot felt like another hammer striking my chest, and as I fell, my breathing became a bit labored. Did this woman want to completely dominate me like taming an animal until it obeyed? But sorry, neither I nor Kephir would ever be “animals.”
“My time for forgiveness is limited, Oqilid. Your time is running out. Even if you hold on here until death, the outcome for Louise and Kephir won’t change at all. Why are you being so stubborn about this, like a virgin?”
The Fifth Shot is Coming…
I might really not be able to hold on, but… huh? Ha~ Strange, the Moon Fairy Iris, does this woman… still not know?
The Moonlight Cannon momentarily froze, and Iris’s demeanor suddenly filled with alertness.
“What are you thinking!?”
That’s right, just like that, just this point… even though I’m about to be beaten half to death, thanks to this, I’ve suddenly realized something!
The Moon Fairy Iris, it seems she can only see me… no, it seems she can only perceive the thoughts of one person at a time; at this moment, she cannot sense the thoughts of others! Otherwise, she wouldn’t still be unaware until now…
In the next moment, Iris even threw away her umbrella, bent down in front of me, and grabbed my collar, her voice now stripped down to pure threat.
“Ogier, while I admire your cleverness, if you don’t obey me now, you really will die.”
Why? No…
“I’ll answer this question for you, and for myself as well. Moon Fairy Iris, because this is the weakness in your ability, right? Ah ha~”
I couldn’t help but laugh out loud because the situation had turned around, and I no longer needed to be tense.
“You…”
“No wonder you haven’t reacted since just now; it turns out… it’s because you can’t see a second person at the same time.”
You can’t see Kephiel, the Queen, or even Ignis and Jous, can you?
Otherwise, you should have noticed long ago: they haven’t run away at all.
“!”
Iris immediately turned her head, and I reached out to catch the spinning Alsace, merging into one in an instant, the icy blue cold spikes severing all those crescent-shaped cannons around me!
And Kephiel, already wielding Jous’s lightning power, was waiting for the Moon Fairy in mid-air!
