I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive - Chapter 609



62. Your fairy’s intelligence is quite touching.

Ludwig’s Perspective.

As the destruction of Icarus became increasingly troublesome due to the layers of protection from the elves, Kephiel, who had originally anticipated gaining new powers to make things a bit more “interesting,” found herself reaching her “limit” sooner than expected. Ludwig, feeling disappointed in every aspect, decided he wouldn’t continue this tedious “preaching.” After expressing his expectations to Kephiel, he pulled Magnus and slipped away through the subspace.

Though he wasn’t keen on learning the troublesome art of magic, Ludwig still picked up a few “somewhat troublesome” spells to avoid the “major hassle” of being unable to escape quickly from troublesome situations. After establishing a location, he could freely open and traverse this “subspace,” which was the only thing he had ever learned.

After all, escaping was easy.

At this moment, having hidden safely in the subspace and jumping out, what greeted him was the rural scenery of the outskirts of the Prussian Kingdom. Compared to the cold, sterile style of the capital’s streets, this primitive landscape felt much more “elvish.”

Ludwig stretched lazily, having dealt with troublesome matters all day; now he just wanted to find a place to slack off. However, the next moment, he discovered another problem…

Since everyone around was an elf, none of the passersby noticed Ludwig’s presence, merely thinking of him as a “spirit girl with dyed hair.” Even if someone did notice “an elf suddenly appearing here,” they would just dismiss it as an illusion.

But then Magnus flew over, tugging her cloak from herself, which was far too conspicuous. Wasn’t she supposed to avoid causing trouble?

Moreover, she looked quite angry—ah… this seemed to complicate things even more.

What awaited Ludwig was Magnus’s furious gaze, clearly indicating that this little fairy could no longer contain her pent-up frustration.

“Ludwig, what were you thinking!?”

“……”

So troublesome. Was this fairy really here to disrupt Icarus? Thankfully, the surrounding environment was noisy; otherwise, everyone would know his name in the next moment.

“Forget about Icarus; there were defenses over there. Why, when you had such a good opportunity to deal with that woman who finally couldn’t hold on, did you just run away!? And even if you ran, why did you have to take me with you? You didn’t dare to act, but I would have loved to tear apart the master’s enemy!”

The master’s enemy, ah…

Ludwig recalled; if he remembered correctly, his employer, Nilu, seemed to have some boring and troublesome conflict with Kephiel over some “man,” so strictly speaking, Kephiel was also one of the targets that needed “dealing with.”

Ha… fighting over a man is too troublesome, isn’t it? If they both liked him, couldn’t they just share him? After all, Oghlid didn’t seem like a low-quality product that could only fire once and then fall silent.

As for Magnus’s complaint, it seemed rather foolish…

“She was just overexerting her magic at that time. Even if you stayed, she could still take you out before collapsing. And did you forget about the older elves in the Prussian Kingdom? They can be quite troublesome too. So, little fairy, could you please stop complaining about this and let me avoid the hassle of explaining it all…”

Ludwig sighed, stepping back. Not to mention that Kephir was not within the “scope of duty,” he was also looking forward to Kephir’s sword becoming a bit more “sharp.” So it was only natural to leave at that time; after all, continuing to hold out against someone who was already at their limit would yield no sense of satisfaction, only trouble.

“And besides, could you not shout so loudly? If you disturb the passersby, won’t that be quite troublesome?”

Had this fairy forgotten something? Everyone was currently in a state of escape, after all.

However, Magnus completely ignored Ludwig’s words. After shooting Ludwig an annoyed glance, she immediately turned to leave.

“Hmph, following you will lead to no good outcome. The tasks my master assigned me, I will handle myself!”

Ludwig scratched his head. She could clearly see that Magnus intended to act separately.

“Well, I have no objections if you want to handle it yourself. After all, it would be less troublesome for me.”

Though she wanted this active and energetic young girl to help her tackle the troublesome tasks, if things became more complicated than before, that would be far from pleasant.

“But could you not be so reckless, Magnus? If you run off haphazardly, you’re just adding to my troubles, you know? And unfortunately…”

“The thing I fear most is troublesome matters.”

Magnus stopped in her tracks. However, judging by her tense posture, it was clear she wasn’t stopping voluntarily; she was “startled.”

Turning back, Magnus’s eyes were already visibly filled with anxiety.

“Come on! If it weren’t for you not listening to the master’s orders, how could we possibly fail?”

“Eh? I clearly followed the orders, you know~”

“You!”

Ludwig immediately grabbed Magnus’s raised hand. After all, if this fairy casually used magic here, the hidden tactics they had painstakingly devised against Icarus would be completely exposed. Once Icarus started tracking her, reverting to a concealed state would be nearly impossible.

“The command I received from the employer was strictly to eliminate Icarus, and there was no set deadline or other restrictions. So whatever I do is my own freedom; as long as I ultimately take care of Icarus, that counts as fulfilling the employer’s orders, right?”

“So please don’t interfere with my actions, and… don’t add any trouble for me either. I really don’t want to suddenly have too many troublesome matters added to my ordinary maid duties…”

“Especially if you recklessly use magic and expose my existence… that would be extremely troublesome.”

Realizing the recklessness, or perhaps just pure fear, Magnus finally withdrew his hand.

“But… but it’s still your fault that things have turned out this way. If you want to go to the Royal City of Prus again, it’s simply impossible now!”

“Huh? Going to the Royal City again? Are you planning to travel? I won’t be going back to mess up Icarus again. After all, isn’t there a much simpler and less troublesome way here? It’s something I just discovered~”

Ludwig, who had no intention of teaching Magnus a lesson, looked at him with a hint of sympathy as he released his grip. “Otherwise, why do you think I put the subspace here? By the way… clearly you’re a fairy, but why is your brain simpler than other fairies?”

“Hah!? Are you lecturing me!?”

“Yeah, I’m lecturing you. Because… you should have some understanding of what kind of race the elves are. And then…”

“Did you not notice? In that previous team with Adev, there was also a subhuman mixed in…”

As Magnus had his “aha moment,” Ludwig scratched his head and continued.

“For a part of the ‘nobility’ among the elves, this is akin to shitting on their faces and then stuffing the used toilet paper into their mouths.”

“Now do you understand what I mean? Wind Fairy.”

Ignoring Magnus’s reaction, Ludwig yawned, his gaze fixed on the distance.

“So I said I would solve the employer’s orders in my own way; I really dislike trouble.”

“Please don’t nitpick about the work and professionalism of a maid; it’s quite troublesome to explain.”
