I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive - Chapter 606



59. Fill What’s Missing

First, there was the foolish Saint Princess Icusis, then Queen Louise IV. With these two experiences as a lesson, when faced with the sudden attack of the fairy Ikaros, I finally had some defenses in place. I managed to dodge her sudden “bonding” before she could land her kiss attack.

I’m 100% welcoming the bonding, because this fairy is Kephiel’s “treasure” in the Kingdom of Prussia, but you’re not supposed to bond with me; it should be Kephiel, right?

The reason for Ikaros’s actions was finally revealed after we waited for Adev to finish her instructions and lead us back to her office.

At this moment, in Adev’s office.

“Reintroducing myself…”

Ikaros, seated within the magic circle, continued in her emotionless mechanical voice, “My name is Ikaros. Since Adelf began her reign over the Purus Kingdom, I have made a pact with her.”

“I provide Adelf with power support, while Adelf conceals and protects my existence.”

“From the moment I retrieved power from Nilu, I had a premonition, found her location, and became aware of the entities that interacted with her. Thus, I initially needed to refuse to meet with you, as you brought danger. Although it seems now that Nilu’s revenge is unavoidable, I misjudged my own abilities. If it weren’t for your appearance, I fear I would have already been destroyed by Ludwig.”

After her words, Ikaros’s eyes, still devoid of any emotional fluctuation, turned towards me. Others might not sense anything, but the script here was quite clear to me.

[Ikaros wishes to recognize Oqilid as her master.]

Speaking of which, Adelf before, and now this self-disciplined fairy in the Purus Kingdom—why do I feel like these fairies all possess a somewhat freebie-like trait?

Of course, I wouldn’t voice Ikaros’s thoughts. In this situation, I seemed to have no choice but to play dumb. After all, the recently awakened Kephiel didn’t seem in the mood to argue with these fairies in a chaotic scene, but I certainly couldn’t just take advantage of the situation!

“No, it’s fine. Our purpose in coming to the Purus Kingdom was to find you. After discovering you posed a ‘danger,’ I chose to protect you and would not forcefully take your power. Of course, if you are willing to grant your power to Kephiel, we would be immensely grateful.”

“Deny. What I wish is to recognize…”

Recognize your sister! Thank goodness Kephiel was too out of it to notice when you almost kissed her earlier. Now that we’re here, I wouldn’t dare stir up any chaos for Kephiel!

Fully aware of what Ikaros intended, I immediately seized upon her words.

“Well, even if you’re not familiar with Kephiel, that’s alright. After all, recognizing a master isn’t something to rush. We can spend time together later, feel out each other’s strengths and weaknesses, and then consider the recognition. We’re not in a hurry~”

“Wait…”

“Kephiel, you don’t look so well. Let me accompany you back~”

Kephiel had just recovered, and in my mind, “wife comes before all,” so I dared not let Ikaros say anything strange. To avoid trouble, I took Kephiel, who looked completely drained, back to her residence.

Though… it seemed the script still hadn’t let me off the hook.

[Insight: Fairy Ikaros wishes to recognize Oqilid as her master.]

So troublesome. Why are all you fairies just like Adelf?

After bringing Kephiel back to her residence, I clearly noticed: although Kephiel had awakened and replenished her nutrition, she was still not in good shape. Saying she wanted to check on the fairies was merely a facade; she was being dragged along by me in a state of somnambulism.

It makes sense; otherwise, with Kephir’s sharpness, how could she have possibly missed Icarus’s thoughts just now?

It wasn’t until I pulled her down to sit that Kephir seemed to suddenly snap back to reality.

“!”

“Euglid, shouldn’t we be looking for Adev?”

“Enough, just keep lying there!”

It seems Kephir had completely forgotten what had just happened, and I couldn’t help but feel dissatisfied. After firmly “pinning” Kephir down on the bed, I found myself unable to muster even a hint of “beastly” intent. I loosened her clothing and took away the magic sword, Alsas.

However, just as I was about to leave with Alsas, giving Kephir more time to recuperate, this little fairy popped out on her own.

“Hey, Euglid, what kind of man are you?”

“Huh?”

I looked at the fairy who had jumped straight out of the sword and into the air.

Am I not a man? If I had taken advantage of the situation just now, I don’t know if I would be considered a man, but Kephir would definitely have called me a woman.

“I mean, you can’t seriously think your ‘Asasai’ is effective, right? A herbivorous man like you is bound to end up with nothing good. And now you actually want to run away? Hurry up and turn around to give the master some ‘mana replenishment’!”

“Replenish… mana?”

I was taken aback for a moment, but soon thought of some rather unpleasant possibilities. As if to confirm my suspicions, Alsas flew in front of me and gave me the finger.

“That bunch of idiot elves chose to let the master recover on her own because they were afraid different magical energies would interfere with her own. But this is taking way too long, and clearly, there’s a safe and efficient way right here to help the master, to get Kephir back on her feet.”

Then, this foul-mouthed fairy didn’t look anywhere else but at me.

【Alsas wants Euglid to feed Kephir mana.】

No, fairy, I can’t do that.

“Why are you looking away, you silly? It’s you! You and the master share the same fairy, and you’re already in ‘that kind’ of relationship. Your magical energies are practically identical; it’s the best match.”

“No, no, no, even if you say it so forcefully, I still won’t do it.”

“No need for any extra means; just like water droplets merge together, all you have to do now is engage in what you’ve undoubtedly already thought of with the master. Her instincts will begin to demand magic from you, and once the two reach a balance, it will stop—there’s no way it will drain you completely.”

Alsace was very concerned about Kephir, but her “strange intention” made me instinctively glance at Kephir.

Lying on the bed, having already said “I’m fine,” Kephir immediately fell into a deep sleep. How could she possibly look fine?

“What… what should I do?”

“Beep beep beep beep~”

Alsace spoke with a flourish, “Ah, it seems that’s not quite right either. Let’s compromise a bit; how about giving the master a deep, wet kiss?”

This time, my gaze unwittingly fixated on Kephir’s face. While silently chanting, “This is part of the treatment,” I cautiously leaned closer, then bent down beside her.

I did it!

I didn’t even need to say that; Kephir, half-conscious and dazed, had already pulled me in, just as Alsace had said. Her body, like a droplet of water, craved me, who shared the same magic.

And the way it happened was so straightforward and simple. I hadn’t even had time to react before our lips and tongues met, leaving no chance for breath.

“Go for it~ I’ll step outside to guard the door for you two~”

The last lightbulb wisely left, and soon the room was filled only with the sound of fabric rustling and Kephir’s muffled voice, demanding from me, unwilling to let go.

The next day.

When I woke up, Kephir, who looked completely recovered, seemed even more radiant than usual. She was smiling, lying beside me, watching my sleeping face, until I woke up and she asked, somewhat puzzled,

“Good morning, O’Gilid. But… why do you look so tired?”

“Hahaha…”

What do you think, Kephir?

Although nothing scandalous happened overnight, you nearly “drained” me dry with that mouth of yours!
