I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive - Chapter 899



15. A Different Perspective

The most trusted fairy by Nilu’s side—the chaotic fairy Claudilus has appeared. Although Kefeier and I could immediately go to see Nilu under her lead, I still found some non-existent excuses to delay a bit.

Reason? Hmm… now, the reason is simple: I want to enjoy some more alone time with my dear wife, that’s all.

After confirming that Claudilus had really left and wasn’t secretly following us, the next day, Kefeier and I continued our “archaeology”. We once again came to the bookstore that caused a commotion yesterday. But unlike before, was it because of the deep impression Claudilus left on the onlookers yesterday? Today, no one dared to stop Kefeier and me, the two “guests”. Our “investigation” continued smoothly.

At this moment, inside the bookstore.

Compared to yesterday when we were just looking through historical documents related to the white-haired elf, today Kefeier was more focused on packing these “antiques”, planning to ship them all back to the Great Ying Empire to avoid a repeat of yesterday’s incident. Besides that, the only thing left on her mind was a single worry.

The next moment, Kefir quietly approached me and asked in confusion, “Why did you tell Claudia yesterday to delay a few more days before meeting Nilu?”

[Kefir cares a lot about Euclid’s thoughts.]

The script appeared immediately, with the content as such. I wondered why Kefir was tossing and turning beside me like a well-fed hamster last night, looking like she had something to say but ended up doing nothing. It turns out she was considering this…

As for why she didn’t “whisper in my ear,” it’s probably because she still remembers the “seven-day” agreement and was afraid of being laughed at by me, so she didn’t dare to “make a move,” right?

Seeing me holding back my laughter, Kefir simply took action and pinched my butt.

“Don’t laugh! I’ve been troubled all night!”

I finally restrained my smile. Phew… Besides, my wife’s question indeed shouldn’t be laughed at.

After trying to appear more relaxed, I turned my head and winked at Kefir, “There’s no harm in secretly investigating first. Rather, Kefir… do you really want to meet Nilu so soon?”

“!”

This question left Kefir stunned. After a moment of thought, she hurriedly shook her head, “No, no! I don’t want to engage in endless boring arguments with that woman over trivial matters.”

“Then that’s settled. I deliberately delayed yesterday for this purpose.”

Our eyes met, and after blinking in surprise, Kefir poked my face with a smile, “Next time you do something stupid, I’ll tell Nilu what you just said and see how you explain it~”

No, no, wife! Aren’t you pushing me into the fire pit?

Before I could speak, I saw the light outside flowing through the window, even illuminating the specks of dust. In this somewhat dreamy moment, Kefir’s teasing was just for this moment’s reach.

“But don’t worry, I won’t say anything~ After all, I think the same as you, just hoping to be with you alone.”

“If possible, no matter what kind of time we go through, even if we both change because of the years, it will still be like this…”

Where did Kefir learn this kind of cheesy yet sweet talk? Doesn’t it seem a bit inconsistent with her cold persona?

But I like it.

Rather, in this current scene, this development, I can’t say I dislike it. The atmosphere between the two of us now, even a straight man of steel could see what I should do next…

However… in our slightly “uncontrollable” state, we momentarily forgot where we were. This is not Kefir’s home in the British Empire, but… a bookstore in the Rodema Empire, a public place!

The next moment, before I could savor the “taste” of Kefir today, the extra character bookstore owner forcefully barged into our private space! Kefir, who was a bit too engrossed, even reacted a beat slower. Fortunately, the bookstore owner was holding a large stack of books, his vision blocked, and did not notice Kefir’s surprised and nervous actions as she hurriedly retreated from my side after realizing the intrusion!

“Sir, the books you asked me to find, I have found them all for you.”

Probably because of Claudius’s behavior yesterday, this bookstore owner seemed very eager to please us, helping out and nodding obsequiously.

“Just let me know which one you like, and feel free to take it. But… um… do you know any ‘big shots’ from the Rodemar Empire? Please put in a good word for my little shop when you get the chance~”

Not just know, I might as well be the “big shot” in your mind.

After perfunctorily dealing with the bookstore owner, Kefir finally seemed to calm down from the earlier panic.

“Continue” or whatever, the atmosphere was naturally gone. To avoid the awkwardness of having her somewhat proactive behavior interrupted, Kefir hurriedly pretended to pick up a book the owner had brought for me.

After a while, Kefir raised a question.

“Huh? Euclid, did you ask the owner for this? But why does the content seem… off?”

Saying this, Kefir spread the book open in front of me, looking a bit puzzled, “The content of these books is all about the history of the Rodemar Empire, not the white-haired elves.”

“I know, after all, that’s the type I asked for.”

I squatted down to pick up a book, slightly avoiding Kefir’s questioning gaze, and said, “Today I want to investigate from a different angle, Kefir.”

“Huh?”

From noble mtl dot com

[Euclid chose to investigate the history of the Rodemar Empire first.]

With the appearance of the script, I found a suitable reason to explain to Kefir beside me: “Even history has an order. We start from the predecessor of the Rodemar Empire and follow the clues. After all, the predecessor of the Rodemar Empire was also a vast empire, there must be some historical records, right? This is called nesting dolls~”

“That’s possible, but…”

“Kefir.”

Seeing Kefir still hesitating, I… patted her shoulder and then looked straight into her eyes.

“Trust me, okay?”

After all, some things, before I can fully disclose them to Kefir, I want to hide a bit to protect her safety and our position.

Even if it’s a script, it’s not omnipotent. The investigation must continue, but as I just said…

From today, we might have to “change our perspective” in the investigation.

For example… let’s start with this slightly strange “Rodema Empire.”
