92. Have you ended it before I even started?
In the dead of night, I barged into the room of the elven midget and threatened her, saying, “You can only listen to me.” No matter how you look at it, my actions can only be described as a night raid on the adorable elven midget.
Naturally, if I still can’t directly “remind” Adev of anything this time, then even if she is willing to “coexist peacefully” with me afterward, I will most likely have no opportunity to be alone with Adev.
Therefore, I must ensure that this “last chance” achieved in such a rush is absolutely not to be disturbed by anyone!
As I looked around, Adev was more concerned about my recent actions than about the fact that a stranger had suddenly barged in.
“What was that just now!? I felt some kind of magic, hiss… Could it be that what you used on Zerola this morning was that same move!?”
Even Adev, who is well-versed in many things, would certainly not be aware of the existence of the “script” after the restoration of the era, so my “precaution” was left with only one last thing.
“I’ll tell you when the time is right, Your Majesty Adev. Before that, please don’t call out the Insight Fairy. I don’t want a third person to interfere with my next business with you.”
The Kingdom of Plouce hides one of the self-disciplined fairies—the Insight Fairy, and revealing such an absolute secret directly left Adev a bit dumbfounded.
“Why you…”
“Because I know that when the time comes, you will understand.”
As for the script and other matters, until Adev remembers, I can only play the riddle master. Time is pressing, and I don’t intend to beat around the bush any longer. I directly sat down beside her, watching as this fairy stood there in surprise, seemingly pondering how to understand me after I “revealed the secrets of the Kingdom of Plouce.”
If possible, I would stand and let Adev “understand me well,” but I don’t have that time now. As time goes on, both the Kingdom of Plouce and the Austro-Hungarian tribe are gradually deviating from the “track” in my memory. I cannot leisurely “conquer Adev once more.”
“Your Majesty Adev.”
I slowly spoke, “First… I hope you give Zerola a chance to stay in the Kingdom of Plouce.”
Looking again at Adev’s script, if I don’t intervene, this fairy indeed does not intend to keep the uncle.
“You are struggling with this matter, right? Zerola escaped from the Great Yng Empire. If you don’t want to offend the Great Yng Empire and focus on the front lines, and Zerola doesn’t seem as strong as imagined today, then you can just send him back to the Great Yng Empire, doing a favor, right?”
“Or it’s better not to do that. I’m not here to see you for Zerola’s sake. Secondly… the queen has already let Zerola go, so there’s no need to catch him again. Sending Zerola back would only add unnecessary trouble for the queen of the Great Yng Empire.”
Within the limits of my ability, I certainly want to try to save Uncle Zerola, and this is also the first purpose of my choice to find Adev at this time.
【Adele is doubting O’Keefe!】
【Adele is contemplating how to deal with Zerola.】
The script indicates that, compared to these trivial matters, I care more about the attitude of the elf before me. What kind of “secret” could remind her that my time is running out?
After a moment, Adele neither agreed nor refused, only looking at me solemnly and asking, “Why interfere in the affairs of Plouce?”
Interfere? No, if you, Adele, insist on not agreeing…
“This is not interference; it is a request.”
The elf frowned and sneered, “This is my kingdom; how to deal with the people in my kingdom is my decision. Whether you call it interference or a request, do you think it will be useful?”
It seems it is not useful now, and the result of failure naturally comes with a dangerous script, appearing alongside Adele’s words!
“By the way, human, do you underestimate elves a bit? Even if you hold some magic we elves have never seen, don’t underestimate our magic. Guns? They are merely derivatives created by our magic~”
How could His Majesty the King of the Plouce Kingdom be an elf girl who becomes powerless just because her weapon was taken away!?
I haven’t even started the “serious business” and have already “failed the negotiation” on the uncle’s question! Moreover, the death script follows closely behind!
【Adele killed O’Keefe!】
At the same time the content appeared, the firearm that I had taken and thrown aside was lifted by Adele with a mere “gesture” and aimed at my body!
Now the Plouce Kingdom can even handle remote control technology!?
【Bang】
The gunshot rang out, and the death script naturally followed!
【O’Keefe was shot…O’Keefe is safe!】
As the script changed instantly, I also realized: since the negotiation has failed, I can only resort to a slightly ‘tougher’ approach!
“Your Majesty Adele, I have said, that was a ‘request’!”
I reached out and grabbed Adele’s arm, who was trying to escape immediately. The elf before me was surprised but quickly began to resist! Even though Mel outside had already been subdued by the two elf sisters, I couldn’t guarantee that no one else would notice the anomaly in Adele’s office, so…
【Adève attempts to…】
“[Adève cannot call for help!]”
Once again, using the script to alter Adève’s actions, I tugged on this elf’s movements so forcefully that I ended up pulling her onto the sofa!
This position, with me straddling her, could easily be seen as the behavior of a perverted midget-lover, no matter how you looked at it. But right now, I didn’t have time to think about that! Looking at Adève, who was under me, trying to draw the dagger from her waist, but once again being stopped by the script that I had already anticipated, I pressed both hands onto her shoulders, giving her a stern final “warning.”
“Adève, Your Majesty, do you want me to turn my request into an ‘order’?”
“!”
“I’m giving you one last chance. I also know whether you truly agree or not. Please don’t make this difficult for me…”
The restored era was slowly drifting away from the track in my memory, and I… didn’t have time to wait any longer! If Adève really couldn’t calmly communicate with me here, or couldn’t remember anything, then I would have no choice but to directly use the script to change things.
Otherwise, if today ended like this, even if I managed to escape, there would never be another chance to get close to Adève. So…
“Adève, Your Majesty, what’s your answer?”
“…”
“Adève, Your Majesty? Uh…”
Seeing that the elf under me didn’t answer, I instinctively looked down. However…
It was a bad idea to look, because when I did…
I ended up locking eyes with Adève. The elf girl, who had been pinned under me, seemed to have been gazing at me in surprise from the moment we began. Forget about resistance; she hadn’t moved at all and was just staring at me.
At the same time, the script… also appeared.
【Adève has undone the ‘order’.】
Hiss…
Huh? Did Adève… remember? But I haven’t said anything yet!?
I haven’t even started, and it’s already over!?

There will be a color illustration at the end of the month, but it will be released next month along with the event.
I’ve been writing a new book these days, feeling exhausted.
