I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive - Chapter 901



17. Who exactly has a problem with their brain? (Happy Halloween)

Kefir and I came to the Rodema Empire not just for “archaeology,” but meeting Nilu, who left first and said she would give me a “grand welcome,” was also an important part of the plan. And now, I don’t even need to persuade anything, even Kefir, who usually quarrels with Nilu when they meet, showed some signs of missing her, so… what I should do is self-evident.

Show the token, wait for the fairy Claudius beside Nilu to greet us, and then follow her to meet Nilu. Although I was a bit puzzled: why this time, even meeting Nilu, the procedures became so “complicated” and “serious,” but I just took it as proof that the Rodema Empire was “rebuilding.”

After all, according to the script, there was nothing wrong with Claudius’s attitude towards us after she appeared.

【Claudilus led Euclid to meet Nilu.】

But… is it really as “peaceful” as it appears in the script? I have to question this content.

Because, as far as the eye can see, everything looks quite different from the last time I came to the rebuilt palace of the Rodema Empire. The empire is still the same empire, the palace is still the same palace, and Nilu should be waiting for my arrival, saying there is a “grand welcome,” but…

Should I say that the guards here have increased, making it more like a “palace”? Or has the atmosphere become increasingly “chilling”? Everything here gives me the feeling that the powerful and ruthless queen of the fairies, who controls the entire continent, truly exists in history.

Clearly… such a thing is impossible.

Shaking my head to dispel the strange atmosphere and not let it interfere with my wild thoughts, I followed closely behind Claudilus and finally spoke to the fairy leading the way, who was neither too far nor too close.

“Where is Nilu now? And… uh, how is she?”

After all, I can’t directly ask Nilu, the fairy who dislikes me very much, if her master has missed me. So, I can only inquire about Nilu’s condition in a different way, as she left us and returned to the Rodema Empire earlier.

However… Claudilus’s reaction surprised me.

Although I know very well that this big sister dislikes me because of some “past events,” I was not asking about her but her master. Yet, Claudilus’s response was still unusually cold.

“…” After a moment of silence, the fairy didn’t even turn her head, “Is this something you need to worry about?”

“!”

Some thoughts in my mind were gradually becoming clear, and I quietly stopped Kefir, who was planning to stand up for me, at the first moment.

“Can’t I even ask? Doesn’t your ‘master’ also want us to hurry up and meet?”

“…Tsk, the master just intends to ‘welcome you,’ and you don’t need to know the rest.”

It seemed like she was trying to regain her composure after being embarrassed. Claudilus finally turned around and was willing to look directly at me, asking, “And personally, I want to know why you two had to come to the Rodema Empire.”

“Investigating history.”

I didn’t lie with this sentence, but it was met with a cold laugh from the fairy: “So you want to be an archaeologist?”

“Not really, I just want to understand in detail how this Rodema Empire ‘came into being.’”

Unconsciously, we stopped walking. Although there was no one around, the atmosphere became even more murderous for some reason. This is definitely not a coincidence, nor is it the result of my poor relationship with Claudilus. After all… some hostility is not from Kefir and me, but from the fairy in front of us.

Then, now I also understand why this happened.

At the moment when the surrounding scenery was gradually enveloped by the twilight of the night, I no longer hid it and spoke to the fairy in front of me.

“I just want to investigate ‘this era’, after all, I have felt a bit uncomfortable from the beginning. Of course, Miss Claudius, you might not understand this, so I can tell you in a simpler and clearer way.”

Then, I held Kefeier’s hand, believing that this mutual understanding was enough to convey my current mood and thoughts to Kefeier.

At the same time, Kefeier and I took a few steps back, watching the fairy in front of us, whose attitude became more and more confused, more and more… unfamiliar.

And this is what I was suspicious of!

If possible, I really wish I had noticed it the first time I met this fairy a few days ago. That way, I could have made more choices for Kefeier. But the past cannot be chased, and opportunities lost will not come again. Now, I can only expose this point.

About… the abnormality of the chaotic fairy Claudius.

“Chaotic fairy Claudius, are you… out of your mind?”

“!”

After a moment of surprise, the fairy in front of me already had a lot of anger in her smile, “A barbaric man indeed has such vulgar jokes.”

“What makes you think I’m joking? Is it that sense of superiority you have from staying by Nilu’s side and becoming a ‘superior person’?”

I unceremoniously dismantled the fairy’s facade, after all…

If everything Kefeier and I have experienced these past few days is Nilu’s so-called “big surprise” for me, then… I would really be angry, not just at Nilu, but also at this fairy in front of me. Because this “surprise” has gone too far!

From noble mtl dot com

“Human, do you know what you are saying?”

“Fairy, you and your master are the ones: do you know what you are playing at?”

Some things, even Nilu, cannot joke with me about, let alone these things that even involve Kefeier. Emotionally, I still don’t believe that Nilu is a maid who would casually “joke” or “give surprises”, but since we came to the Rodema Empire, everything we have experienced these past few days can only lead me to one conclusion, even making me somewhat dissatisfied with Nilu’s behavior.

Or a… an unsolvable problem that I instinctively don’t want to think about, like a “BUG”.

Given two choices, I would rather choose that Nilu’s joke went too far, because that way, as long as she apologizes, everyone will be happy. But if all this is not a joke by Nilu and is actually happening… then it would be a big deal.

Because the problem I am suspicious of is called…

“Claudilus, why are you pretending not to know me?”

Looking at the purple fairy in front of me, I instinctively asked this, which was the “most optimistic” question.
