I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive - Chapter 896
12. I don’t feel the face-slapping vibe at all, honey
Not just Kefir, even I was quite shocked by the bizarre reaction of this extra!
Just now, I slapped his salty pig hand to prevent him from taking advantage of Kefir, but after the slap, I was already prepared for “the moment he roared and rushed at me, watching Kefir easily knock him down, and then Kefir and I quickly escape”. However, after being stunned for a moment, this extra turned around and started banging his head against the store’s pillar!!?
If you insist on saying this is some new kind of scam, that’s not right either. After all, even now, the sound of him banging his head against the pillar is still “bang bang”, with no sign of acting at all. In no time, dark red blood had smeared over most of his forehead!
Moreover, he was the only one who suddenly did this. The others, even the little brothers he brought along, were all as surprised as we were by this scene. After staring dumbfounded at this “performance” for a while, they finally thought to remind him in a panic.
“Boss, boss! What are you doing!?”
This sentence also represents the shared sentiment between me and the bystanders. But I won’t get an answer to this question, after all…
“!”
The extra, who was woken up by his lackeys’ repeated shouts, suddenly came to his senses as if he had “just woken up.” Rather than saying he was “shy” and didn’t dare to admit what strange thing he had just done, it would be more accurate to say that this guy… simply didn’t remember what he had just done.
Instinctively wiping a palmful of blood from his forehead and staring at it in panic for a while, he naturally shifted the blame, which was clearly his own doing, onto me!
“You… you dare to attack a guard of the Rodema Empire!?”
It wasn’t us who hit you, you ran into it yourself! But this guy obviously didn’t remember what he had done, and I had no chance or time to explain!
“Who are you suspicious people!? Quick, notify the others, surround this place! Arrest these two suspicious individuals who attacked the guard!”
[Euclid’s identity is exposed due to his overly arrogant actions!]
The clichéd script appeared immediately, but because it was clichéd, it sometimes became quite troublesome to resolve.
Should I let Kefir handle it and solve it normally? But doing so would only hastily expose our identities, and might even alarm Nilu. Rather, what is the purpose of this trip, why did we encounter this kind of… It’s just like the “beginner’s task” I used to encounter when I was still a “big villain,” needing to cling to Kefir’s thigh?
I didn’t have many ideas, and Kefir also took my hand, ready to “personally resolve” it, but the next moment…
[The chaotic fairy Claudius appears.]
Accompanied by a script interruption, what happened first was the scene before Kefir and me.
The poor extra guard had just broken his own head, didn’t understand what was going on, and wanted to take revenge on me. But before he could make a move, he was struck down by an invisible and colorless magic, flying far away along with his surrounding lackeys, finally crashing into the wall and falling to the ground, only having the strength to whimper.
Then, a familiar figure walked in with a dangerous sweet scent. With purple hair and a purple dress, decorated with white flowers, the witch who was also Nilu’s most trusted and strongest fairy—Claudius the chaotic fairy appeared!
[Claudius meets Euclid!]
The script appeared because our arrival was too sudden? Claudius looked at Kefir and me in surprise, but then quickly looked away.
At this moment, I hoped Claudius wouldn’t rashly call out “King,” and it seemed this witch understood my intention, pretending not to know me. Then, she glanced at the surrounding lackeys and frowned slightly.
“You don’t need to worry about this place, get out.”
Claudius had always been respectful to Nilu, but I wouldn’t forget that to anyone other than Nilu, this fairy witch was the former ruler of the Rodema Empire, the manager of the lawless land. Frankly speaking, if it weren’t for Nilu, she would have enough qualifications to manage everything in the Rodema Empire! Naturally, her inherent dignity and aura wouldn’t lose to Nilu in the slightest.
Just as the lackey leader got up and was about to shout, he was silenced by a mere glare from Claudius. Immediately, his henchmen reminded him.
“Boss, what’s wrong with you!? Look at who she is! She’s the one from Rodema Royal City…”
“!”
Without giving these lackeys any time to curry favor and show respect, Claudius coldly spoke again.
“These are my guests. Scram, don’t make me say it a third time.”
The outcome, naturally, was predictable. The lackeys, ignoring their pain, helped each other up and fled in a hurry.
Watching their hurried retreat, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Claudius’s words just now inevitably made Kefeier and me the focus, at least the term “guests” was much better than having our identities exposed. As for why Kefeier and I encountered such a situation as soon as we arrived in the Rodema Empire, I can only chalk it up to bad luck. I’ll think about the extra parts and the script later.
After all…
My gaze fell on the purple fairy Claudius, who was still staring intently at me.
Um… Miss Fairy, although I understand that due to some “past events,” you have the biggest grudge against me among Nilu’s fairies, but… isn’t it a bit much to still be staring at me at a time like this?

Noticing my gaze, Claudius finally restrained her expression.
“Every citizen in the Rodema Empire has proof of identity. Outsiders need to undergo investigation. You two should be careful; next time, you might not be so lucky.”
After a pause, she asked, “Also, this is not a place for conversation. Would you two mind coming with me?”
[Euclid was invited by Claudius.]
The script appeared immediately, but…
I grabbed Kefeier’s hand first, stopping her from speaking, and responded myself.
“We already have a temporary place to stay in the Rodema Empire. Let’s go there first. Is that okay?”
“…Please lead the way.”
Saying this, Claudius made way for us. “The master indeed instructed me to greet you two as soon as you appeared.”
Ah, after all, it’s Nilu. She definitely wouldn’t let Kefir and me come to the Rodema Empire unprepared.
So…
Kefir, my dear wife, next…
It’s time to test our “tacit understanding.”
Turning away, at the same time, I squeezed Kefir’s hand tighter.
