I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

70. *An old hag crying is nothing to look at.*

Until Iris and I were “locked up,” everything was within my preparations. But from this point forward, whatever might happen next was beyond my knowing.

After all, to “alter” something without relying on the script’s power, to deceive the Moon Fairy, was already the limit of my capabilities. I had no time, nor could I bring myself to think about, nor could I even imagine what would happen in this situation. So, I had to gamble: gamble that even if I couldn’t resolve the Moon Fairy’s “chaos,” I could at least secure a chance to protect my little life until things were “OK” with the Queen!

*[The Moon Fairy wants to kill Euclid!]*

However, time didn’t afford me any hesitation. The dangerous script descended even as I pondered!

“Do you even know what you’ve done!?”

The Moon Fairy had made her move!

However, to my surprise, the script only had her “thinking” about it. Ultimately, she didn’t do anything dangerous to me.

Once the initial anger passed, even though she was in “chaos” and I had “tricked” her, there still wasn’t anything that truly suggested she intended to “kill me.”

She merely grabbed my collar, looking… truly unwilling!

I glanced at the Moon Fairy. “What is it? Are you going to cry in front of me because you’re unwilling?”

How could this fairy not see the “decisions” in other people’s hearts? Knowing this, and still being so unwilling, truly, the older one gets, the smaller their spirit becomes.

I had no interest in watching an old hag blubber.

“You idiot! You yourself are from Great Britain!?”

The next moment, Iris shoved me against the wall. Being two sides of the same coin, in my eyes…I clearly saw a lower… a low-spec version of Louise. Even if this low-spec version was loaded with a bunch of high-end “accessories,” like the ability to “see into people’s hearts,” still…

Still, she couldn’t wield it!

“Why should my initial idea be determined by you!? Clearly, this ‘chaos’ between me and everyone else could have supported us in leading Great Britain toward prosperity! It always has to be you! Always playing the saint to interfere with me!”

Prosperity? That was impossible. If everyone thought like you…

“It’s called a death rattle.”

After a pause, I added, “Besides, I’m not really one of your Great Britons. I used to be… maybe, but no longer.”

The Moon Fairy could only see her Great Britain, but what I saw… was already the “era.” Neither Kefir nor I would disregard all consequences for the sake of Great Britain, because… everyone was not disposable.

I didn’t expect Iris to understand my position, since I only came here to await the dissolution of her “chaos.”

“Louise is using your identity to ‘undo the chaos’ of the people in Great Britain, you don’t need to get anxious. By the time you’re able to get out of here, I think… everyone will basically be normal. Instead of complaining to me, you might as well accept reality sooner. You lost, Moon Fairy.”

“!”

The unwilling anger finally transformed into action. The death script, which had briefly disappeared, reappeared in Iris’s intentions toward me!

*[The infuriated Moon Fairy kills Euc…]*

This time, though, she might truly be disappointed: the Queen’s “disintegration” work was even faster than I anticipated. Truly befitting of someone who loves to seize others’ weaknesses and leverage them, wouldn’t you say? Only a short while had passed, yet the script was already reminding me repeatedly: more and more people had been freed from “Chaos.”

And this, in turn, signified that the power of the script, which had been suppressed by “Chaos” earlier, was gradually returning to my hands.

Thankfully, I no longer needed to force any changes with the script.

Elise, having similarly “perceived” this shift, finally ceased her actions, and the Death Script vanished.

Simultaneously, accompanied by Elise’s resigned sigh, a new line of script appeared.

【The Moon Elf’s “Chaos” has dissipated.】

“… Fine, do as you please. I won’t meddle in these affairs anymore.”

Are you some child throwing a tantrum?

I glanced at the Moon Elf, who dejectedly sat back on the bed, her back turned towards me. I considered teasing her, but ultimately swallowed the words back down.

Come to think of it: this Elf could “perceive hearts,” so she naturally understood what “Chaos” truly was. At the moment she chose to give up, the “Chaos” driving her inner purpose must have vanished along with it.

“I won’t be comforting you, you know.”

Otherwise, saying teasing things to someone who looked exactly like Louise felt… strange. Especially in such a secluded environment; it just felt wrong.

Fortunately, the Moon Elf’s response was simple and direct.

“Scram!”

“Yes, yes, I’ll scram in a bit. Your ‘Chaos’ has been resolved, but… don’t overestimate yourself. You weren’t the one who caused the ‘Chaos,’ it was someone else.”

With the Moon Elf’s “Chaos” resolved, it was now time to deal with the “mastermind.”

My mood grew increasingly complex, but I suppressed the strange feeling in my heart and asked in a low voice, “Where’s the ‘Chaos’?”

After her little fit, the Moon Elf finally offered a response.

“How would I know?”

If the Moon Elf didn’t actively seek it out, then… Fille must have used some other identity, quietly staying by the Moon Elf’s side.

So…

“Think carefully about what’s happened around you recently. Anything unusual? When did things start to change?”

Fille had said that she would unknowingly influence those around her to fall into “Chaos.” In other words, as long as the Moon Elf, now clear-headed, could tell me where the “problem” was in her vicinity, finding Fille would become much simpler.

Moreover, I couldn’t afford to wait any longer. With each “evolution,” Fille’s power of “Chaos” was becoming stronger and stronger. The next time she “absorbed” the chaos of a specific person, would I still be able to “resolve” it perfectly as I had this time?

In my opinion, this was probably my last chance. I couldn’t even imagine how dangerous and terrifying Fille’s next “evolution” would be.

“Come to think of it… the ‘weirdness’ started with my maid, I think…”

【Fille is hiding as the Moon Elf’s Maid!】

Along with Elise’s words, the script finally gave me the answer I needed! Now, what I should do next was self-evident!

“Moon Elf, you stay here and behave yourself! Leave the powers you can’t control to someone else to handle; don’t think about using them yourself. Or next time… I really won’t be able to save you.”

After delivering a half-reminder, half-warning to Elise, I immediately contacted the Queen and asked her to “let me out.”

Kefir must be waiting for me already, yes? So, next…

It’s the moment we make a “decision” regarding “Chaos”, regarding Fillo, regarding that chaotic fairy, Saffilose!
