I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

73. How could I possibly hate my wife?

Fillo and Kefier’s domains unfurled, “Chaos” and “Order” encroaching upon one another!

Which was more ferocious, that “Chaos” which, like a raging inferno, sought to devour all around it, plunging everything into madness, or “Order,” which aspired to freeze all in place, returning the age to neatly arranged star charts and clockwork mechanisms?

All of this, I, who had returned the very script—the essence of the Order fairies—to Kefier, could no longer comprehend. The “domains” unleashed by two fairies who had already transcended “autonomous fairies”…if I wasn’t holding that script, how could I possibly grasp their true nature?!

Still, I had things I could do!

The “domains” were already in play, yet I hadn’t retreated. The two fairies, initially focused on “bickering,” finally noticed me. However…I had already stepped into the “Chaos” domain!

“‘King’…this is not a place for you.”

Fillo’s face betrayed her surprise, while Kefier remained unperturbed!

After all, this was something Kefier and I had already discussed.

I retorted icily.

“You and Kefier make your decisions. Don’t worry about me.”

We weren’t here to pick a fight with Fillo. Perhaps Fillo and the Order fairies had some “disputes” they wished to resolve, but my objective, from the very beginning, had been to “eradicate Chaos.”

And now, Chaos resided within Fillo, therefore…

“Fillo, you’re right. I haven’t ‘tasted’ Chaos. I truly have no right to criticize your identity as a Chaos fairy, to nitpick at your every word and deed.”

I paused, and then…took another step forward! Even within the “domain,” I moved towards the “Chaos domain.”

Because, didn’t I know, from the start, the method to uproot “Chaos”?

“Fillo, then…let me ‘taste’ your ‘Chaos’ now!”

I would…bring Fillo’s “Chaos” upon myself!

In an instant, obscure meaning swept over me, leaving me no time to worry for the two fairies. The “Chaos,” which had actually intrigued me, finally manifested itself in an unforeseen way, filling my mind!

[Euclid is being affected by “Chaos”! ]

Ah…now that I had thrown away the script, “Chaos” could indeed affect me?

But what exactly was “Chaos”? I hadn’t grasped it!

I could only dwell on other things.

Like…Kefier.

Why was she the protagonist of the “script”? Why did she have to endure so much trouble and danger, dragging me along in her wake?! I was merely a humble “villain” who wanted to survive. I had no desire to follow her and do anything earth-shattering.

I clung to Kefier’s leg for my own sake, you insatiable woman, don’t get carried away in front of me! My script was not meant for you! I only protect you because if you died, it would be troublesome for me!

You mean nothing to me, at best a get-out-of-jail-free card! Don’t look so happy. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be in this kind of danger! Go to hell!

Yet another example… Niru?

Why must she be the fairy queen, come for vengeance?! Couldn’t she just be a mediocre maid?! Ugh, I regret it so much, why did I give her so much help?! Why couldn’t I have been cruel from the start, crushed her before she could even sprout wings?!

If she hadn’t remembered anything, I wouldn’t be spared either, and none of these subsequent troubles would have happened! Scroll Master? Hah, who wants to be your Scroll Master! I wish you would just vanish already! You’re nothing but a remnant of a bygone era, a woman who shouldn’t even be in my sight!

And the Queen… a sly actress, nothing more. Without her, Kirfel and I wouldn’t have faced the dangers that followed.

If Liddy hadn’t planned to “break” me from the start, maybe I wouldn’t have needed to rely on Kirfel so much.

Everyone… I shouldn’t have met any of them, not even the Order Fairy.

I don’t want to play her “Order” game, I don’t want to save this “era,” I don’t even want to be here.

Regret, I want to go back, even if it means becoming that “ordinary student” again. I don’t want to stay here. I don’t want this script, I don’t want to see this script, I don’t even want to witness the current story. I don’t care what you do in this world, I just want to escape, to not be interfered with!

I’m not consumed by chaos, I’m just making the decisions that are best for me!

How long have I been in this world, in this script? Ah… it’s time for me to leave, isn’t it?! I’ve had enough, I’ve written enough!

In the next instant, the two domains surrounding me suddenly vanished! Standing in place, I could only hear Kirfel’s cry!

“Euclid! You really can’t directly take away her ‘chaos’! Forget about it! Let’s just ‘eliminate’ this fairy! No one can withstand this degree, bear the negative emotions of so many people!”

Kirfel seemed to have stopped fighting with Philo, and Philo stood far away, not even daring to approach.

Ah, of course she can’t approach, because I’m currently… in “chaos.” Forget Philo, even Kirfel can’t handle it!

“Get away! Uh… no, go away, don’t come near…”

Because I don’t want to see you…

No, it’s because if you come closer, you’ll be affected by these emotions too! I don’t want to have anything to do with you anymore, Kirfel, but…

But… I think I really like you.

Even though you drag me into all sorts of bad situations, I do it so willingly. Even if I’m called a bootlicker, well… I’ve turned that into something positive.

I hate Niru, but… whatever she did to me, she deserved to do, I destroyed her empire and era, yet she’s still willing to forgive me.

I’m disgusted by the Queen’s disguise, but without it, I wouldn’t have even seen this moment, I would have died during the time when “Order ceased to exist.”

…

Everyone is important? So what if there are negative emotions, so what if there is chaos?

Always hating, disliking, disgusted, those are just tiny specks of negativity in my heart! I couldn’t possibly hate them, let alone let these emotions fester for such an absurd reason.

If this is “chaos,” then I can say it without hesitation… speak it out.

“Is that all you’ve got?!”

Don’t underestimate the girls around me!

Don’t underestimate me!

“Chaos,” is your “interference” only this much?!

Chaos Fairy Saffilose?!

You still have much to learn! Like, can “Chaos” truly interfere with Order!

Can it interfere with *me*!

“[Euclid… *static*]”

“[Euclid, purged ‘Chaos’!”

This time’s script, I’ll use the power of “Order” to show you how it’s done!

To give you a proper lesson!

Got a color illustration coming up, but won’t start drawing it until tomorrow. Should take a day or two, I reckon.

So broke, toss a fellow a monthly pass for support, eh?
