94. Did you just hold her after a night?
Although the now-remembering Adele seemed “very much into it,” unfortunately, I really couldn’t stay in the Kingdom of Plurist any longer, accompanying this fairy who was so “M-like” even with her “secrets,” reminiscing and letting her “act cute,” while also being on guard against the occasional “misfire.”
It wasn’t exactly a waste of time, after all, I felt that the act of “letting Adele remember and then slipping away immediately” seemed a bit like a scumbag move. However, both Adele and I shared the consensus that, with the The war between the fairies and the beastmen became increasingly intense, I had no time to waste.
I needed to get to the Austro-Hungarian tribe and make that elusive, shape-shifting fairy, Zelus, who was the chief of the tribe, “remember” me, and quickly! Because even if she “remembered,” Adele was still the king of the Kingdom of Plurist, and with the war heating up, she didn’t have much time to spare for me to “change” the current situation.
So, after a night of “discussions,” Adele had already prepared a way for me to go to the Austro-Hungarian tribe. However, as expected, the next day, just as Adele and I stepped out of her office, we were met by the three fairies who had been lingering outside since last night.
At this moment, the fairy sisters no longer maintained their threatening stance towards Aunt Mel, and Aunt Mel didn’t seem to be doing anything like “calling for help.” After all… all three fairies’ attention was now focused on me and Adele.
“See?”
Ludwig glanced at Mel with a “I told you so” expression, “I told you it would definitely turn out like this the next day~ You little girl actually didn’t believe me, what a hassle~”
What do you mean “definitely,” Your Highness? If it weren’t for this outcome, our current situation would be exceptionally troublesome, okay?
As for Aunt Mel, she probably had been informed of some ridiculous gossip by Ludwig and the others last night. Seeing the “tender” scene between me and Adele, she still rubbed her eyes in disbelief, as if she had seen something extraordinary.
Then, she didn’t bother to dwell on why Ludwig called her “little girl” and hurriedly pulled Adele away from me.
Taking this opportunity, the two fairy sisters looked over.
Urasilu spoke up, “It seems you have successfully ‘changed’ Adele. Congratulations, Mr. O’Keefe, you have ‘changed’ the order once again.”
It’s not about changing; it’s just that Adele “remembered.”
I didn’t say it out loud, and Urasilu continued, “So next you…”
“Next is the Austro-Hungarian tribe.”
I shook my head, shaking off the random thoughts in my mind. Compared to the “different purposes” between me and Urasilu, it was more important to complete our current common goal.
“Next, you two shouldn’t follow me. Stay in the Kingdom of Plurist and wait for me, whether I ‘succeed’ or ‘fail.’ With your identities, whether disguised or not, you would only bring danger to the Austro- Hungarian tribe.”
Although the elven saint sisters before me are white-haired elves rather than golden-haired ones like Adéle, the two are worlds apart. However… the orcs of the Austro-Hungarian tribe do not care what color the elves’ hair is; in this wartime state, as long as they perceive us as “elves” with a pair of long ears, we will find it difficult to move an inch in the Austro-Hungarian tribe.
So, the best course of action is: do not let the elven sisters go. Although it would certainly be much more dangerous for me to be without two saints as “maids,” at least this way, I still have a chance to get close to Zelus.
“You shouldn’t have any objections, right?”
“…No.”
After a moment of silence, the elf before me accepted the situation candidly, “I sincerely wish you could defeat ‘Order.'”
Defeat… huh? However, everything I am doing now, what exactly is it for regarding the Order fairy, regarding Kephiel? I might not even be clear about that. But time waits for no one; next, I can only brace myself and head to the Austro-Hungarian tribe under Adéle’s arrangements.
Thinking of this, I looked over at Adéle, who was being nagged by Mel, appearing awkward and a bit shy.
“Your Majesty, what is going on here!? Why… why do you say that after talking for a night, you can really hold each other!?”
“I’ll tell you later.”
After brushing off her aide’s question with a flushed face, Adéle began to prepare for me: “Now help me confirm the situation on the western battlefield and see if we can get there.”
“Yes! But what about you…?”
“I need to send someone, send him to the Austro-Hungarian tribe.”
【Adéle is escorting Oujili to the front line!】
The script appeared, indicating that everything was ready. After a brief discussion with Mel, Adéle jogged back to my side.
“You can be arranged to go tomorrow, Oujili. However… that is a genuine battlefield. Even though we are currently in a ceasefire period, expecting us elves to escort you into the ‘orc territory’ is not very realistic. So, you…”
“I have my ways.”
【Elves and orcs are currently at war.】
The script reminded me: the war is indeed ongoing, so… the more urgent it is, the less time I have. Now is not the time for me to leisurely wait for opportunities; even relying directly on the power of the script, I must force my way into the Austro-Hungarian tribe and seek out Zelus in the orc territory.
As for the worries of the elf beside me…
“Time… remember the time, when the time comes, you come back.”
Adéve seemed to still be hesitating, but what ultimately relieved me was that she still maintained the demeanor of the King of the Prussian Kingdom.
“I don’t care whether I clash with the beastmen, so… when you really can’t make that stinky fox remember, just come back. We elves will take care of her and her beastmen for you!”
To be honest, I didn’t want this outcome, but it was enough. The elf midget in front of me was indeed the Adéve from my memories.
And besides, it wasn’t time to despair yet.
“Don’t worry.”
After a moment of silence, I forced a smile and ruffled Adéve’s hair, “There’s still time; I can make Zelus ‘remember’.”
Even if time was tight, I still had one last resort—the script. Adéve, what follows won’t be the kind of situation that makes you worry.
I assure you in the name of the “script,” for this is also the responsibility I must take on after making you “remember.”

Sorry for the late update; mainly, I might be releasing a new book soon.
Probably within two weeks, I will notify you then. There’s also a cute battle event happening recently, and the specific details should be available on the event page soon. I hope everyone will support it.
As for the new book, I will share more details as the release date approaches. What I can say now is that it’s still in the fantasy genre, but with new elements, including a bit of farming and harem romance. I hope everyone will enjoy it.
