I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive - Chapter 511
37. Your Will is Being Tested (Vote Please~)
Too many scripts flooded into my mind at once. The seemingly complex content all conveyed a common message: this is part of the Moon Fairy’s power! Let Kephiel take it and gain this mysterious power!
Hurry up and take it! Oqulid, one of the self-disciplined fairies you’ve been desperately seeking—the Moon Fairy—has already sent part of her power to the queen as a token of gratitude for Kephiel!
Obtaining this part of the power is enough to make your fiancée stronger. What are you hesitating for? Hurry up and give it to Kephiel! You’re silent, but your Kephiel, your fiancée, your sword, your possession is still hesitating, not knowing what to do!
Speak up and accept it! Without your command, Kephiel won’t take it, right? So what are you waiting for? Tell her to take it! Hurry, this opportunity is rare and fleeting! Don’t you want your Kephiel to become stronger? Don’t you want your weapon to be sharper? Accept it! Just say the word, and Kephiel won’t hesitate!
Speak up, accept it~ Otherwise… the Moon Fairy and the queen will be put in a difficult position!

【Bang】
I slammed my palm on the table, causing Kephiel, who was about to reach for the magic stone imbued with part of the Moon Fairy’s power, to stop in surprise at my lack of response.
I probably shouldn’t have done that, because the script immediately followed up!
【Kephiel gave up obtaining part of the Moon Fairy’s power because of… the reaction from Oqulid!】
Look, if you don’t speak, your Kephiel won’t take it. How can a sword become sharp on its own? Don’t hesitate, Oqulid! Isn’t this what you’ve been pursuing in your script all along? It’s within reach, just a hand away! What are you still guarding against!?
In the script, the only option left is for me to obtain this magic stone for Kephiel. It’s almost as if… it’s urging me to hurry up and “complete the main quest.”
With the script like this, and the magic stone on the table radiating a crescent moon glow, genuinely carrying part of the Moon Fairy’s power, I… had no reason to be a contrarian here.
So…
I met the queen’s sidelong glance directed at me, and then…
Pushing the magic stone back.
“Your Majesty, let’s keep the magic stone with you for now.”
More than Kefi’s surprise, I was more concerned about the Queen’s frown in the next moment, but that expression was quickly masked by her usual bright smile.
“What’s wrong, Oujilide? This is truly the power of the Moon Fairy, you know~ I would never deceive you about such matters, dear sister~”
“I know it’s real, because the ‘prophecy’ has already told me.”
With a slight smile, I looked at Kefi. “It’s not that I don’t want to obtain it for you, but Kefi, when we decided together to acquire the fairy’s power, you told me that we should earn the trust and strength of the fairies in the fairest way possible, rather than through this kind of deposit-like exchange of benefits. Otherwise, even if we gain the fairy’s power, its effectiveness for you will be greatly diminished.”
After a moment of confusion, Kefi nodded. “Indeed… that’s true.”
With that little explanation from me, there was no need for me to teach Kefi what to do next.
Then, Kefi clearly expressed her stance to the Queen: “Sister, I appreciate the Moon Fairy’s goodwill, but I would prefer to meet the true Moon Fairy after fulfilling her ‘request.’ So… please keep this power for now; I will not accept it.”
[Kefi has rejected part of the Moon Fairy’s power!]
[Oujilide… zzz, unfavorable to Kefi, accidental death!]
[Oujilide… zzz, did not complete the main quest, accidental death!]
[Oujilide…]
Hey! Breaking the script, what a nuisance! Don’t think that just because you show me a few death scripts, I’ll change my mind. I’m not easily scared! Kefi is the protagonist; she wants to earn the fairy’s power fairly. How could I go against the protagonist? That would be asking for trouble!
Watching the magic stone being pushed back to her desk, the seated Queen frowned slightly, then revealed a concerned expression. “But the Sword Saint Ludwig will definitely come looking for you, Kefi. If you don’t have this power…”
“Then I definitely won’t take it, Your Majesty. If I can’t even contend with the Sword Saint right now, then I won’t be able to fulfill the Moon Fairy’s request, and I wouldn’t deserve to receive her power.”
Immediately, Kefi took my hand. “It’s getting late, and I want to rest well. I’ll go back with Oujilide now, Your Majesty. Please inform me at the first opportunity if you hear any news about the Sword Saint’s challenges against me.”
With that, Kefi bowed and then left the palace garden with me without looking back. As for the Queen’s reaction at that moment, sorry, but I… won’t turn around to look, Kefi.
Because I still had one more thing to do.
After leaving the Queen’s sight with Kefi and returning to her home from the Grand Empire’s palace, I closed the door, confirming that no one would disturb me and Kefi again, and then I…
Immediately embraced Kefi, feeling the warmth and softness of what might be the protagonist in the script, or perhaps my support, or even my fiancée.
The surprise in Kefi’s eyes gradually turned into confusion.
“Oujilide, why are you… scared?”
“Ha… haha~ You guessed it, huh? I’m really too cowardly; I might really be suited to be a pretty boy…”
I still had no intention of letting go of Kefi, and fortunately… Kefi didn’t slap me for holding her so tightly.
“I have… some things I want to assure you.”
“?”
“Kefi, you don’t have to do everything according to my words. You are definitely not my tool. Even if you accept the Moon Fairy’s power tonight, I won’t say anything more.”
All those demands in the script were nonsense!
In response, Kefi gently caressed my cheek. So soft… but right now, I can’t fully appreciate it.

“What are you talking about? At that time, your face clearly showed that you didn’t want me to take it, and… I truly didn’t want to obtain it this way. You did nothing wrong. As for the Moon Fairy, I’m not necessarily fixated on pursuing it.”
Phew… This is good. Thank heavens I have a wife who won’t get angry at me.
Because with this, my little bit of fear can completely transform into… doubt.
“Kefir, I need your help next. Will you help me?”
“Eh? Of course! Um, are you just trying to make conversation?”
“Not at all. Because, Kefir, from now on, I will become a true ‘kept man,’ a useless person who knows nothing and can do nothing. I hope you… won’t have any objections to me.”
Releasing Kefir from my embrace, I gazed into her crimson eyes.
“For the time being, I won’t use any ‘prophecies’ anymore, not even once. No matter what happens, I won’t use them. Kefir, when that time comes, will you still be willing to trust my judgment beyond the prophecies?”
——
I can feel it, ah, I just love this kind of character (ecstatic)
PS: There will be new color illustrations soon. Don’t ask why there are so many queen illustrations in the queen volume; the answer is simply because it’s the queen.
There are about three of them.
