I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive - Chapter 608



61. Can’t you be a bit more mature like me.jpg

My dear fiancée was likely taken aback by Icarus’s audacious remarks, even if she chose not to pursue the matter further; I could see her lips twitching involuntarily.

“Icarus, what did you just say?”

“To repeat: before I begin my work, I hope to have a comfortable working environment. Based on my observations, the comfort index of sitting on Euclid’s lap is as high as 99%, which could enhance my efficiency by 30%. Therefore, I wish to work while seated there.”

“!”

Snapping back to reality, Clefair’s brows furrowed, and she looked as if she might just pick me up and carry me away to hide. Thankfully, I reacted quickly and urged Clefair, “Oh come on, Clefair, it’s just sitting on his lap! Just think of it as a little girl passing by wanting to play a game. I promise I won’t have any ulterior motives~”

Clefair, still struggling to accept my words, rubbed her forehead and glanced at the still-silent Icarus.

“Euclid, she’s not just some tool; she’s a genuine spirit and fairy. Don’t you think she’s been following you ever since she left the core area?”

In the face of Clefair’s suspicion, Icarus responded with unwavering confidence.

“That’s incorrect. I left the core area for two reasons: first, the core area needs reconstruction; second, Euclid previously suggested that in order to establish a bond, I should engage in more communication and physical contact. This suggestion is very reasonable, so I have prioritized it.”

As she spoke, Icarus’s grip on my thigh was the best proof of her earlier statement. But then again…

“Icarus, I meant for you to communicate more with Clefair, not me.”

From noble mtl dot com

“…Ding dong, no response.”

Don’t give me that circuit short-circuit act; I can see your intentions clearly from the script!

[Icarus is not heeding Euclid’s advice at all.]

In the end, even Adev began to chime in.

“Miss Clefair, Icarus is like a national treasure of my Prolus Kingdom. She has even given up her safe house to come work for us. What’s wrong with her sitting on Euclid’s lap while working? We fairies are all ‘mature women’ of a certain age, so of course, we know our limits. Can you please not be so jealous and be a bit more mature like me?”

Adev’s reasoning finally swayed Clefair, but…

[Adev is also on Icarus’s side.]

The script revealed that these two fairies were indeed in cahoots. While this fact should certainly be shared with Clefair, I hesitated…

I glanced at Icarus, who was clutching my pant leg, and at the side, Adelf was “earnestly” persuading her. In the end, I swallowed my words.

Forget it, I really don’t want to make this chaotic scene any more troublesome.

Finally, after much coaxing on my part, this uproar came to an end. Icarus happily settled onto my lap and began her work, while Kephiel and Adelf insisted on squeezing in on either side of me.

This hardly felt like a workplace! But I couldn’t resist the sight of Icarus looking quite satisfied. From my angle, I could easily look over Icarus’s head and get a full view of the scenery beneath the dress of this elven girl. Yet, as much as I wanted to avert my gaze and not be a beast, no matter where I turned my face, I could see either Kephiel or Adelf’s body, or catch a whiff of their subtly different yet similar fragrances.

This was too torturous, and unfortunately, this torment was far from over.

Icarus, sitting on my lap, soon looked up at me, and I immediately mumbled something strange.

“Detection initiated. Physical characteristic changes detected in Oquild. Oquild, if you need, I can provide various functions.”

“What… what!?”

I was momentarily taken aback, but Icarus confidently puffed out her chest.

“As an Insight Fairy, aside from the ‘viewing’ function, I am equipped with additional functional modules to handle necessary dualities. These functions include, but are not limited to, options for tightness selection, switching, vibration function toggles and intensity adjustments, as well as rotation functions and voice modulation…”

“Wait a minute!”

Before Kephiel and Adelf could grasp the meaning behind Icarus’s bizarre technological jargon, I finally managed to cover her mouth!

Thank goodness my dear fiancée is very pure and didn’t understand a thing!

“Oquild, what did that fairy just say?”

“Nothing, nothing at all! Just a little short circuit, needs some minor repairs, hahaha~”

I laughed while patting the top of Icarus’s head. “Miss Icarus, can you start doing some serious ‘work’ now?”

“…Understood. Current topic halted. Initiating search for Ludwig and Magnus’s locations.”

I finally breathed a sigh of relief, but…

“Can you find them? I think since Ludwig was able to hide his movements before, he could do the same while escaping now.”

“It’s not Ludwig; it mainly relies on Magnus’s wind fairy powers for the shielding. However… it’s merely the power of a wind fairy. As long as I use my full capacity to check, they won’t be able to hide for long. Please remain quiet.”

In the moment we all fell silent, Ikaros no longer concealed anything, appearing to be “at full power.” Suddenly, a pair of shimmering butterfly wings emerged behind her. I couldn’t tell if it was my imagination, but sitting on my lap, the little fairy’s bottom seemed to be getting a bit warm.

Ikaros placed her hands on the virtual sphere that floated before us, and the hem of her white dress began to rise as if stirred by an unseen wind, her long hair billowing and brushing against my face.

[Ikaros is searching for the whereabouts of Magnus and Ludwig!]

As the script appeared, Ikaros’s hair fell back down, and after a moment of silence, she slowly spoke.

“I have found them.”

Indeed, the script on my side provided the words I had found, but… this result did not bring me any joy.

“Magnus and Ludwig are currently lingering near the forest sea, deep within the Kingdom of Prussia.”

“They haven’t escaped!? Hmph! That’s perfect! I’m eager for revenge!”

Adéve, who had been puzzled for a moment, immediately brightened up.

However… this was precisely what made me uneasy.

For along with Ikaros’s discovery of the two fairies’ whereabouts, more dangerous scripts emerged.

[Adéve is under a security threat!]

[Zelus is under a security threat!]

[Ludwig seeks an opportunity to duel with Kephir!]

Scripts that sounded far from good popped up one after another, and this time it wasn’t just about the Kingdom of Prussia; even Kephir and that bear-fox Zelus from the Austro-Hungarian tribe were drawn into the script!

Why is it spreading instead!? No, there’s no time to think about that now, because…

The content of all these scripts seemed to be telling me: the dangers that had occurred earlier had not vanished; it was far from over!
