I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

21. The Electric Mouse’s Hundred Thousand Volts

Flames reflected in my eyes, and with countless scripts in my mind screaming “die, die, die,” I had even anticipated my own demise, planning to add an extra chicken leg to my boxed lunch after my dramatic exit.

Yet, the relentless “die, die, die” scripts suddenly changed! In my memory, there was only one person… with the power to whimsically rewrite the script.

This power is known as—The Protagonist’s Halo.

And only one person could treat others’ fates like child’s play, altering the “kill me” scripts of every character, big or small, becoming the sole beacon of hope for my survival.

This person is called—the True Protagonist.

【The doomed Ogelid, saved by Kefiel.】

The “fairy” with snow-white hair appeared before me in an instant. Her anxious demeanor indicated she had long awaited the chance to save me; those slight dark circles under her eyes were evidence of a sleepless night; her burning gaze, perhaps… more nervous about saving me than I was.

Kefiel alone could free me from the death script! From the moment of my capture, I had hoped for her rescue, but it was only at this moment that I realized: everything was unspoken.

“Watch out behind you.”

“…”

Before the words fell, Kefiel lifted her skirt and spun around, kicking a flying bottle aside.

Then, with a flash of cold light, Kefiel drew her sword!

With a crisp sound, she precisely sliced through the missile shot by Letty as she pulled the trigger!

Humph! Kefiel has arrived! What do I have to fear now? It’s Kefiel’s time, and surely there must be a scene where “an overconfident fodder rushes forward to capture me, only to be petrified by Kefiel’s royal aura, unique to the protagonist, kneeling on the spot,” right?

However, Kefiel hadn’t even used her “aura” yet, and the silence around was terrifying! The onlookers, stunned by Kefiel’s daring act, were one thing, but the Rosian Empire’s guards and Letty’s entourage stood frozen, as if afflicted with sudden dementia.

Kefiel wouldn’t care about that; after all, her mind was entirely focused on me. Having temporarily resolved the imminent threat of my fiery demise, she turned around, her face filled with concern.

Of course, true to Kefiel’s nature, concern aside, she still had the energy to be jealous.

“See what happens when you flirt with strange women outside? Now you’re in trouble, aren’t you?”

Her words made it sound as if I was fickle and unfaithful, though it was Letty, the midget, who had clung to me and then flared up on her own.

“You won’t get such treatment next time!”

After dropping her “harsh words” in a huff, Kefiel swiftly cut the ropes binding me, and as I involuntarily slumped due to my numb legs, she leaned in, supporting my body.

Having done all this, Kefiel turned boastfully towards Letty, though her words carried not a hint of mockery.

“Hey, shorty over there, before you lay a hand on my person, think whether you’re worthy!”

“Bretet!”

Letty, initially shocked by the scene, puffed up like a startled rabbit, furiously shouting!

From noble mtl dot come

“There’s no way the great empress fails at what she wants to do! You white-haired nuisance, if you interfere, you’ll crumble too! Ura!”

With that, Letty’s fire gun sparked with electricity, and then, as if Newton himself would leap from his coffin, a barrage of colorful magic bullets burst forth from the single-shot firearm, heedless of the crowded street, firing “bang, bang, bang!”

The crowd screamed and scattered, but Kefiel paid no mind to Letty’s sunset-red outlined gunplay, turning to gaze deeply at me.

And then, a soft sigh.

“Ah… I’ll settle the score with you later, let’s figure out how to escape first!”

“Uh, how do we escape?”

There are countless escape routes in the script right now, but I’m not an idiot; of course, I should follow the protagonist.

“Teleportation spell, I’ve already prepared the destination.”

A moment of silence between us, then a sudden flush of crimson climbed over her fair cheeks.

“What are you waiting for, hurry up and cling to my thigh!”

Oh! Yes, yes, yes, cling to the thigh!

I immediately wrapped my arms around Kefir’s thigh, so fragrant and soft, and warm with Kefir’s body heat, it was invigorating!

Following that, Kefir began to construct the magic circle around us that would instantly teleport us away, while I watched Letty, after “running out of bullets,” with a frantic expression and reluctant actions, glaring fiercely in our direction.

“Big brother, big liar! You really are a big liar!”

When exactly did I do something to wrong this little midget, to make her so angry with me?

No, if I did nothing, wouldn’t the whole thing be very strange?

“You’re the first one who dares to openly deceive me, Ivan Letty! Your majesty, I will not spare you!”

She raised the electrically charged alien object in her hand, and in an instant, the originally dim sky surged with thunderclouds, lightning flashing and thunder roaring!

“Thunder magic… able to call down heavenly thunder already?”

Watching all this, even Kefir, the protagonist, frowned, “Charlatan, you really know how to stir up trouble…”

At least say it’s offending people!

【Ivan Letty used her once-a-day ultimate move!】

“Kefir, dodge this move quickly, don’t confront it head-on, she won’t be dangerous after this!”

“…Okay.”

Hesitating for a moment, Kefir immediately nodded in agreement, speeding up the progress of the magic circle, giving up the idea of a direct confrontation with Letty.

I didn’t want Kefir to put on a brave front for me; that would be too dangerous! She is an important person to protect and a key figure in the script.

【With Kefir’s help, Ogelid temporarily escaped! But Ivan Letty was in hot pursuit!】

The next moment, a sweeping thunderbolt struck down! Staircases, buildings, the ground, all crumbled to pieces! And Kefir, at last, managed to teleport us away, just before we were hit by the thunderous lightning, disappearing within the teleportation circle!
