Kephir ultimately defeated Kephir, and after the protagonist triumphed over the BOSS, they naturally received some “answers.” What a perfect development and conclusion.

However, even though I was already prepared to accept this answer, even if Nilu were to say something like, “Actually, we were already in love in our past life!” I would have the confidence to accept and digest it. Yet this time, Nilu’s answer left me so stunned in such a short time that I didn’t even have the chance to feel “shocked” or “nervous,” but was directly left in a state of utter confusion!

Just now, it was as if Nilu knew I was using “prophecy” to conceal the “script,” and before I could fully grasp the surprise, her words had already drawn all my attention!

Because it seemed she not only knew my “script,” but also that within my own script, due to my identity, there often emerged “death scripts”! And it didn’t stop there!

If Nilu’s true intention was to keep me “safe,” and her method was to take me to the Rodmar Empire, away from Kephir, to prevent me from continuing to give reminders about the “main plot” to Kephir, then didn’t Nilu’s actions imply that…

It was precisely because I was using the script that the “death scripts” appeared!? Why… was that the case!? I used the script to escape the dangers of being a “great villain” who occasionally faced death threats, so why had it instead become a “trigger” for more death scripts to emerge!?

“Nilu…”

When I looked at Nilu again, she grimaced and repeated the words she had been emphasizing earlier.

“Mr. O’Keefe, so I said… from now on, no matter how you ask me to apologize, please… leave with me.”

As for Kephir, she quickly grasped Nilu’s words. Although she didn’t understand the deeper layer of my thoughts regarding the “script,” even just realizing that “if O’Keefe uses too much prophecy, there will be danger” was enough to astonish her.

“Nilu! Why didn’t you tell me sooner!?”

“Hmph, would you believe me, Kephir?”

Nilu said resentfully, “For someone like you who has long relied on Mr. O’Keefe’s abilities, even if I told you, you would just think I was being alarmist and talking nonsense. That’s why I said you’re so incompetent…”

“!”

I didn’t know if Kephir’s earlier question was too late, but… Nilu’s angry response was something no one, including Kephir, could tolerate.

“Enough! You two stop arguing!”

Seeing the situation between Kephir and Nilu spiraling out of control again, I hurriedly intervened.

At this point, regarding the “script,” which was my own matter, I could take my time to ask Nilu and come to terms with it later. What was most important now was Nilu’s state.

“Kephir, don’t use the past to refute things; after all, it has already happened. Nilu, what I did with Kephir is irrelevant; providing her with ‘prophecy’ was my own decision.”

Only then did Kephir and Nilu quiet down.

As for the death scripts, because both Kephir and Nilu were by my side, I really didn’t feel the same sense of danger as before. After all, those dangerous contents had long been overshadowed by Kephir’s protagonist aura, or they hadn’t happened yet and had been prevented by Nilu.

So, facing Nilu’s true reason for wanting to take me away, I wasn’t without a solution. Rather, in my view: as long as Nilu and Kephir could reconcile, there wouldn’t be any more worries from Nilu. After all, if the protagonist and the big boss in a script could coexist peacefully, how could any more trouble arise?

“Nilou, if you’re just worried about the use of my ‘prophecy,’ then there’s no need to take me away so forcefully like this. As long as you and Kephri stop arguing over such matters, I assure you—no, let’s say, for my own safety as you mentioned—I will do my best not to use this ‘ability’ of mine.”

“You can supervise me at any time. Of course, if possible, I hope you can step in to handle any dangers I encounter when Kephri is unable to.”

“Isn’t that better than you dragging me to the Rodmar Empire and attracting a whole heap of trouble, right?”

Nilou, at this moment, must not trust Kephri, which is why she’s acting this way. But just now, Kephri has already proven to Nilou that she has the ability to protect me, so I’m willing to give Nilou a chance.

There’s no need for any crude or violent methods; a serious reminder is all it takes to ensure safety. If it comes to it, Nilou, you can “join in” too. It’s just that the frequency of your and Kephri’s sarcastic banter will increase a bit, and I can endure that. Time will naturally prove everything.

In the next moment, Nilou finally let go of me.

With a bitter smile, I looked at Kephri: “Mr. O’Keefe, given the situation, do you think I have any room left to refuse? I just hope certain people can keep their promises and stop demanding this dangerous ‘ability’ from you.”

“Nilou…” Kephri’s eyes twitched slightly, “Are you mocking me?”

“How could that be? It seems like you’re the one taking it personally, Miss.”

This time, I didn’t have the time to care about the two women’s sarcastic exchanges.

After all, in a non-hostile argument, it’s the peacemaker who ends up with a headache. And at the same time, the script I had been hoping for finally appeared.

【Kephri and Nilou reconcile.】

A short phrase, yet it was the very content I had been striving for, eagerly anticipating, and praying would come to pass! After all, whether Kephri is the protagonist of the script or Nilou is the corresponding BOSS, my presence had turned their once harmonious master-servant relationship into deadly enemies. I have the responsibility to set this twisted development back on track in the end.

I hope Kephri “wins,” but I also don’t want Nilou to “lose.” Their ending shouldn’t be a life-or-death struggle, just like in those scripts where the protagonist always leaves the BOSS a way to redeem themselves. To put it more bluntly: you are both… wings.

Let’s not add “mine” to that; otherwise, it feels like saying it out loud would immediately invite a storm of bloodshed.

I stood firm, gazing at Kephri and Nilou, who were still arguing, and let out a long breath.

This way, Kephri’s “main storyline,” Nilou’s “revenge,” the true protagonist’s righteous journey, and the BOSS’s deep-seated vendetta would finally converge. This should be… the end, right?

【Kephri and Nilou, the protagonist and the BOSS, ultimately reconcile, O’Keefe…】

The script then appeared.

But…
