55. After the matter is resolved, brush off the dust, hide the merits and fame.
After splashing my face with cold water for a few minutes and silently chanting “I am a calm man” throughout the process, I finally managed to suppress my “weapon.”
Facing two goddess-like beauties on my left and right who were now reaching out, beauties who would absolutely not resist, I could still maintain my composure, sit still, and not escalate into a situation where “the whole night would be spent engaging in the most primitive human activities.” I truly admire my willpower; am I not the modern-day Liu Xiaohui!?
That’s what I thought.
But just as I returned with a hint of confidence and pride, the bodies of Caffey and Nilu approached me from both sides…
“Can I go freshen up again?”
I lost my guard once more, and this time, even the two big shots didn’t intend to give me a chance to escape.
“You come back to me.”
Compared to my invincible wife, I’m just a chicken—just as I was about to get up, Caffey pressed down on my shoulder, forcing me back.
“What’s the use of going there? Are we going to have a repeat performance later?”
You’re absolutely right, my wife, but I dare not agree. I fear that if I do, something really will happen next. However, my silence was evidently taken as consent by Caffey, who softly complained in my ear, “What a sorry sight, no decency at all…”
Men are creatures like this, my wife.
Just as Caffey hadn’t finished complaining, on the other side, Nilu voiced her dissatisfaction, “Miss, stop complaining, do you really want Mr. Euler to sit here with a serious face?”
“Sigh…”
Caffey fell silent for a moment, unwillingly. It was only then that I realized: Nilu wasn’t arguing with Caffey just now, it was clearly…
“So, Mr. Euler, tonight is far from over, would you… like to ‘relax’ first?”
Unlike Caffey, who sat tensely with a nervous body, Nilu’s actions didn’t go unnoticed as she whispered in my ear. In the dim light, I couldn’t see Nilu’s expression clearly at the moment, whether she was teasing me or serious. But…
When her wandering arm finally stopped at some very… sensitive parts of my body, I truly shuddered all over, quickly pushing Nilu aside.
Then, I cleared my throat, as if to “remind” Nilu, and remind myself, continuing, “Wait, hold on, I met you two alone today, not for these things~”
Nilu, whom I had sent back, didn’t make a fuss; she just gave me a meaningful smile: “What a pity~”
It is a bit of a pity, but I wouldn’t dare to say that out loud.
I had been reminded, but… neither Kephir nor Nilu really kept their distance from me because of that last remark. Kephir, who was holding onto me, even found a reason I couldn’t refute.
“Don’t move. If you have something to say, say it like this. You and that fairy have been communicating in this position for the past few days, so why can’t we?”
“That’s exactly what we mean, oh~ Mr. O’Keelid. Consider this a punishment for having too many interactions with that fairy saintess over the past few days~”
Right after that, Nilu squeezed in closer.
Alright, alright, you big shots can say whatever you want. After all, after Nilu’s sudden “touch” earlier, I had calmed down from the overwhelming shock, and now, being embraced on both sides, I could just about manage.
After a bit of calm, I finally found the opportunity to voice the secret I needed to share with Kephir and Nilu, which was to leave the fairy saintess Izalis behind tonight.
“We’ve been hiding here for quite some time, haven’t we, Kephir, Nilu? At first, I thought we had to stop the fairy triplets from doing some ‘bad things’ in this era, but as for the first two princesses, this little princess…”
I paused, glancing at the two girls, “I haven’t found her to be ‘dangerous.’”
The youngest of the white-haired fairies, Princess Ilushir, since we met her until now, hasn’t done anything that seemed like she was going to “do bad things.” Although she has her own thoughts, her attitude towards us in the script has been positive and proactive.
If we must prevent certain “bad things” from being done by the three sisters, who are still the white-haired fairy princesses of the Rodland Kingdom, in order to fundamentally disrupt the death script, then this youngest princess wouldn’t actively do anything bad in the script.
So how could we even talk about the emergence of a “death script”? Moreover, even if she becomes a “bounty hunter” in the future, she wouldn’t have posed any death script to me at the beginning if it weren’t for her two sisters’ appearances.
To put it simply: she seems to be “safe.” With that being the case, our group faced a problem, which is also the reason I needed to avoid the fairy saintess Izalis and find Kephir and Nilu alone.
Kephir quickly understood my meaning and asked in a lowered voice, “So… does that mean we can prepare to go back?”
“…”
What troubled me was just this: because if it was confirmed that Ilushir hadn’t done anything bad in this era, then we could indeed start preparing to “leave this era,” as long as we ensured the safety of the fairy saintess and stopped the pursuers coming for her beforehand.
After all, as long as the fairy saintess is safe, and I’ve prevented the two slightly older fairy princesses from doing any “bad things,” when we return to our original era, the two of them, as saints, should have no trace of my death script left. Then, as long as my thoughts at this moment are correct: the bounty hunter Ilushir’s death script should also disappear, as she seems to be merely following her two sisters’ orders.
In this way, all death scripts would be eradicated from the root!
“Kephir, can you respond to Adev and the others and bring us back?”
Kefir nodded slightly: “As long as we reach an open area with sufficient magical energy, we can make contact and signal Adele with ‘We want to go back,’ then just be ready.”
“Then, afterward, you should try to find such a place nearby. Once I’ve properly arranged the path for the Elf Saintess, we’ll head back.”
“…”
My words received no response.
At first, I thought Kefir might have a different opinion, but when I turned around, I realized…
My wife was wearing an unhappy expression, staring at me.
“That elf again…”
[Kefir felt she should indeed be jealous.]
No, that’s not right, dear! She’s a “key” in the script; I can’t help but mention her!
But Kefir didn’t care about my explanation.
“Honestly, after spending a few days with that woman, you smell just like her strange scent…”
What, what strange scent!? Kefir, why is your little dog attribute coming out again!?
“Nilu, up!”
“Yes~”
With a gesture from Kefir, Nilu responded, and I…
I… finally understood that night after I was knocked out by Kefir’s punch in the Great Ying Empire—what had really happened.
