I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive - Chapter 605



58. Do you think I’m pregnant!? (Please vote~)

Ludwig definitely sensed Kephir’s abnormality. Just after Kephir collapsed, likely from using too much fairy power at once, she tossed out a mocking remark and swaggered off with the wind fairy, Magnus.

“Wait… is that a subspace!? Isn’t this kind of magic supposed to be lost within our clan!? Why can this fairy use it!?”

Although there are certainly formidable figures among the “informed” on Adeph’s side, their knowledge is limited to mere awareness. Firstly, the fairies who have long believed in “black technology” are unable to decipher such ancient magic. Secondly, by the time Adeph’s people react, it is already too late; the others have long since vanished without a trace.

Even after this, Adeph immediately dispatched people to search, but finding a dangerous fairy swordmaster is no easy task. As expected, the fairies of the Purus Kingdom found nothing and lost track of them. By the time Adeph called in more seemingly powerful “grandpa and grandma” fairies, Ludwig and Magnus had completely “disappeared.”

Fortunately, we managed to protect Icarus, allowing the script of Icarus being “damaged” to temporarily fade away. After this crisis, rather than seeking credit from that self-disciplined fairy, I clearly had something far more important to attend to—looking after Kephiel.

At this moment, within the royal city of the Purus Kingdom, I was once again repeating the same routine as yesterday: waiting and observing Kephiel’s condition in her exclusive hospital room.

“How is she?”

“She woke up after you left last night. The experts from the Purus Kingdom have assessed that it’s just a normal magical energy transition. Considering Miss Kephiel’s unique physical condition, we haven’t directly supplied her with magical energy; we plan to let her rest on her own.”

【Kephiel has woken up!】

The appearance of the script left me no time to pay attention to what the little nurse, Ababa, was saying. I burst into the exclusive hospital room prepared for Kephiel by the Purus Kingdom!

“Kephiel!”

To my surprise, my dear fiancée was not sitting on the hospital bed in a patient gown, nor was there any touching scene of her “smiling at me.” Instead, I caught her just as she finished changing her clothes. After that, she carefully folded the patient gown, everything looking as usual.

“Shh, keep it down. There are other patients next door, right?”

Startled by my shout, Kephiel looked up, mumbling softly without any complaints.

In the final battle with Ludwig, the reason Kephiel collapsed was not as complicated as I had imagined: it was simply because she had overexerted herself. Using every fairy’s power, including that granted by Icarus, required a significant amount of magical energy, and even Kephiel found it hard to bear.

After collapsing, the best way to recover was to rest, so I had spent the last few days watching Kephiel’s sleeping face. If possible, I would have loved to experience the scene of “a beautiful girl in a hospital bed asking me to peel an apple for her.” Unfortunately, Kephiel seemed to have no intention of showing weakness; she had just woken up one night and was already planning to “discharge herself.”

Of course, I should have been happier about that.

I immediately dashed over, brimming with excitement.

“Planning to leave after just one night of waking up? Is your body already fine? It’s okay to stay a few more days! No, when you want to leave, just call me. I’ll help you tidy up; how can we let a patient do such chores?”

A rapid-fire barrage of words made Kephiel pinch my waist.

“I told you to keep it down, and… I’m just resting for a few days. I don’t feel any issues with my body. Why are you so anxious…”

After a pause, a blush crept onto Kephiel’s cheeks, which appeared pale and weak from just waking up. “It’s not like… I’m pregnant or anything.”

“……”

Boss, I can’t respond to that…

Afterward, Kefir, who insisted that I not treat her like the Empress, ate a bit of food under my coaxing to replenish her strength, and then we headed together to where Aidefu was located.

After all, I had been by Kefir’s side since she fainted, completely unaware of the actions of the elves during these days. It wasn’t until Kefir and I were led by other elves to the “core area” of the Purus Kingdom that I discovered: Aidefu had been leading the elves in the aftermath of the destruction caused during the battle between Kefir and Ludwig, which had left the core area in ruins.

Days had passed, yet the core area still bore the marks of scratches on the ground and the “wires” on the walls that occasionally crackled with magic. The elves had already begun their repair work with great enthusiasm.

All around the walls were makeshift scaffolding; on the dome that had been blasted open by Kefir and Ludwig, I could even see the shadow of a crane. After weaving through various “bulldozers and forklifts,” I finally spotted Aidefu, the king of the Purus Kingdom, commanding the efforts, along with… the self-disciplined fairy Ikaros, who was seated on a magic circle beside her.

[Aidefu and Ikaros are directing the elves in the reconstruction of the core area!]

As the script unfolded, unlike Aidefu, who was busy directing with her sword, Ikaros had already noticed us the moment Kefir and I appeared.

In the next moment, she jumped down from the magic circle, her robotic-like steps clicking as she ran toward us. The expression on this fairy girl’s face, which resembled a robot to me, was so singular that I began to wonder if she had come to demand some exorbitant compensation from us.

Fortunately, it wasn’t that… but at the moment the script appeared, I couldn’t shake the feeling that it would be better if it were just about compensation…

Because what this fairy was about to bring up was far more complicated than a mere request for reparations…

[Ikaros apologizes to Oujilide.]

“Oujilide, I am very, very sorry. Due to my cognitive flaws, you have taken risks for my safety.”

In our second meeting, this fairy finally refrained from saying anything like “I want to drive you away.” As for the apology, I really didn’t need it, after all…

“No need for that. I came here to ‘protect’ from the very beginning.”

After all, with Ikaros’s death script in play, whether she granted Kefir power was one thing; I had to protect this “script” of Kefir’s.

“So, if your arrival requires my strength, I am willing to give it.”

In the next moment, Ikaros’s words, accompanied by the emergence of the script, made my heart leap with joy.

[The insightful fairy Ikaros is willing to offer her power.]

After defeating the big boss, the protagonist gains new strength; this development in the script was so classic that I was so happy I didn’t even feel like exchanging pleasantries.

“Really? Then we won’t decline! Let’s find a time for the bonding ceremony!”

“Right now, it’s possible.”

But the next moment, the fairy’s actions left me both startled and dumbfounded.

She was indeed ready to begin the bonding, but… she wasn’t heading towards where Kephiel was; instead, she was coming straight for me!

“Then, please give the bonding kiss, Euclid.”

If I hadn’t reacted quickly, the fairy girl’s lips would have already met mine!

“Wait, wait! Why me!?”

【Insight: The fairy Ikaros wishes to bond with Euclid!】

Is this script bugged!? No, it’s your system that’s bugged, Ikaros! You’re supposed to bond with Kephiel!
