I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

36. Don’t ask, just get in the car!

Because a dangerous death script had suddenly appeared in the script, and I was worried that Professor Moriarty would be implicated because of my death script, I had to tell her the truth without much consideration.

However, before I could finish my warning, Professor Moriarty turned around, her eyes wide open, staring at me as if she wasn’t seeing me, but some kind of demon or monster.

A moment later, she revealed a shallow smile, “Mr. Fiancé of Kefir, are you joking?”

“It’s true!”

Professor Moriarty seemed unconvinced, but that’s to be expected. Suddenly being told that one’s life is in danger, it would be odd to believe it right away!

“Do you think I would joke about such a matter, Professor? Since you’re also aware of the affairs within the Great Ying Empire, you should be clear about my identity. Disregarding the messy titles, I am, after all, a certified priest.”

The previously “shocked” Moriarty quickly regained her composure, her rapid change in attitude surprising even me.

“Are you referring to a ‘prophecy’?”

“Indeed, but whether you believe it or not, it’s always good to be cautious, right?”

“Then you should run.”

“You might be implicated too. I suspect it might be retaliation from that passerby, Skee.”

Moriarty tilted her head slightly, scrutinizing carefully for a while before abruptly asking.

“What should I do?”

In such critical times, I couldn’t afford to hesitate and immediately grabbed Moriarty’s arm.

“For now, I’ll contact Kefir, and then we’ll find a way to hide and wait.”

Being entangled with my “death script,” the safest and surest solution was naturally to stay by Kefir’s side. With the protagonist’s halo, even if the sky fell, we would be unharmed.

All we needed to do now was stay here and wait for Kefir to come, and the danger would naturally disappear.

But this thought had to change the next moment due to a change in the script.

【Euclid was attacked and died from his injuries!】

The script that was just about going out and dying had now turned into a blunt “death, death, death”!? Does that mean “the other party can’t wait any longer and is directly attacking us now!?

Staying here waiting for Kefir was no longer an option! Instead of acting on both sides and failing to meet up with Kefir, it’s better for me to take Moriarty with me, avoid danger with the help of the script, and go directly to find Kefir at the female dormitory!

I immediately gave up the idea of using the contract to contact Kefir, and in that brief moment, the death script multiplied again and again.

【Euclid hid inside the house, was attacked, and died.】

【Euclid took the initiative to strike, was attacked, and died.】

【Euclid attempted to shout for help, was attacked, and died.】

Isn’t this death script a bit outrageous!? Why does it feel like there’s a reaper following me, bringing death wherever I go!? Even if that passerby Skee has some power in the Rossiya Empire, such blatant “misdeeds” are too far-fetched, right!?

Amidst my distress, Professor Moriarty tugged at my sleeve.

“Kefir’s fiancé, what else did your prophecy say?”

“Staying here is very dangerous, I’m trying to find a way to hide you!”

“This is already beyond the level of a ‘prophecy,’ isn’t it?”

“My dear professor, there will be plenty of time to explain these issues later. For now, please let me find a way to escape, alright!?”

At such a time, Professor Moriarty could still manage a calm, bitter smile. I couldn’t care less because, at the next moment, I found the only place where we could temporarily survive.

“Professor, I’ve found the place!”

“Then run for it, I’ll hold them off here…”

“Hold off my foot… *cough cough*!” The other party is Kefir’s teacher, after all; I can’t be too rude. Looking at her with wide eyes, I decisively start to move on my own.

“Knowing full well you’re in danger and still leaving you behind, I’m afraid Kefir will kick me to the curb tomorrow.”

With that said, I lift Professor Moriarty in a fireman’s carry!

“*Cough*…”

“Hey, I am a woman, you know~”

Professor Moriarty’s complexion turns sour in an instant.

From noble mtl dot come

“I’ll get in shape later… The window’s no problem, please go through it.”

“…”

After a moment of silence, Professor Moriarty still climbs through the window with my assistance, and I’m truly grateful that her office is on the first floor. Following her through the window, I tightly grasp Professor Moriarty’s hand, searching for the one path in the deadly script that doesn’t scream “death, death, death.”

“There are still students in the academy square, but it seems like they might intercept us halfway, let’s take another route!”

“…”

“There should be an ambush ahead, so let’s not go there. We’ll take a detour out of the academy, Professor.”

“…”

All the way, Professor Moriarty following me doesn’t utter a word. Could she be scared stiff? Right now, I really can’t afford to care, because… the present danger leaves no room for distraction!

【Ogilid is attacked by a man dressed as a servant at the corner!】

Is it that passerby Skee!? No, that’s not right, if it were so, then the script just now…

“*Tsk*…”

No time to think anymore!

“Professor! Run with me!”

I kick up a flurry of snowflakes, covering the figure about to emerge from the corner, then turn and sprint away! Not until I reach the gates of the Rublyanka Academy and see the Rosian guards dancing around a bonfire do I finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The deadly script within the script has mostly disappeared, the danger temporarily averted. Next, I must quickly find Kefir, so both the professor and I can be safe…

However, as I turn around, Professor Moriarty, who should have been behind me, is nowhere to be seen!

“Professor!?”

【Professor Moriarty returns to her office to retrieve the important research report she left behind.】

Damn it!

If it weren’t for the fact that she’s Kefir’s teacher, I would have cursed out loud!

What time is it to still think about the report, what’s more important, life or those few sheets of paper!

【Moriarty encounters the person attempting to attack Ogilid!】

A moral choice hangs but on a fleeting thought. In the next moment, I punched a tree, no time to seek the guards’ aid. Instead, I left a signal for Kefir through the contract and turned to leave!

Even a deathly script can be avoided, but if one only cares for their own escape, they’ll never cling to Kefir’s coattails.
