I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

24. So You Have a Wife?

Letty, this furry midget, round up, in the Mary Sue script is almost like a “younger domineering CEO brother,” but for this domineering CEO’s “occupation,” I, Bingxue Yuhanying, find it hard to comply. After all, my body belongs to Kefir, alive as her person, dead as her ghost~

To be serious: I, of course, have to refuse Letty’s childish demand, does she think I’m the most fun toy in the kindergarten that everyone wants to snatch? But this time, Letty, who I rejected, didn’t get angry, then “shot me with a gun,” and for our “reconciliation,” she also answered by default.

After calling back Nieru and explaining the situation to her, I decided: to respond to unchanging with unchanging. This time the blame wasn’t shifted, the spies within the Rosia Empire will definitely act again!

In the following days.

The incident where I was almost burned to death didn’t cause any ripples in the academy, it seems the people of the Rosia Empire have long been accustomed to their midget Empress’s fickleness, even after a few days, they almost forgot about the previous incident, I walk on the street and no one looks at me.

Kefir continued her studies at the Rubiyanka Academy, and as the blizzard holidays came to an end, the skies cleared more often, heralding the official start of the academic term. Naturally, Kefir’s “main mission” was about to begin.

As for me, having been snubbed once, Letty finally stopped fixating on becoming my roommate. On the day the academy reopened, a true Russian roommate moved into my dorm.

“Dear Mr. Davari, my name is Horus Hrushev, and from today onwards, I’m your roommate!”

“You… hello, Mr. Horus?”

After confirming that this robust yet beaming roommate had no intentions of “offing me” as per my script, I cautiously shook his hand. Following Russian tradition, I accepted his housewarming gift and opened it on the spot.

It was a bag of corn.

“This gift, um, is quite… unique, full of warmth.”

It took me a while to find a proper way to express my gratitude.

Horus, meanwhile, slapped my shoulder with such nonchalance that I feared he might accidentally kill me with his strength.

“Hahaha! This is a specialty from my hometown in Siberia! Besides, big brother, there’s no need to be reserved or secretive. To tell you the truth: I am the captain of a certain squad of the Siberian Bear Knights of the Russian Empire! I am here by Lady Letty’s command, to be your roommate and, incidentally, to take care of your safety!”

I sighed deeply, knowing all too well.

After all, the script also said: 【Horus was sent by Letty】.

“Lady Letty says: She can’t lose to the White-Haired Girl! But big brother, you’re really something! To survive under Lady Letty’s command and enjoy such treatment, you’re the only one I’ve seen!”

I couldn’t be happy about this at all.

However, refusing Letty’s rare kindness would probably make her furious, and then she might stab me to death. This Russian hunk posed no immediate danger to me according to the script, and indeed, he could serve as a guard in situations where ‘men and women differ,’ and I couldn’t always be by Kefir’s side. There was no reason to refuse.

I forced a smile.

Regretfully, to be honest, I would have preferred… a little midget like Letty to be my roommate instead of this hairy, muscular man.

“So… I’m off to attend the Rubiyanka Academy next. Would you mind accompanying me?”

“Harashoo!!”

A bear’s roar echoed in front of me.

Russians are indeed terrifying…

I set off for the Rubiyanka Academy with my new roommate, Horus Hrushev. Unlike me, who was magically protected from the cold thanks to a contract given by Kefir, Horus walked bare-chested, claiming it was “not too cold.”

In his words: “This year is too hot, even a tank top is bothersome.”

As he fanned himself, he explained to me, “I was spotted in my third year at the academy and sent to train in Siberia, so I’m not very familiar with the Rubiyanka Academy. But if I remember correctly, every new academic year, the academy holds a selection competition among the third-year students.”

Ah, the selection competition! It sounds like a proper storyline for the protagonist!

“The academy’s instructors will choose a student they favor, collaborate with them, and select an appropriate topic to compete and evaluate.”

“Forget all that nonsense.”

I interrupted Horus, “What’s the prize!?”

From noble mtl dot come

There’s bound to be a main mission, and what I’m interested in is the prize Kefir will receive afterward.

Horus replied succinctly, “All are treasures plundered… cough! Collected by Lady Letty. Which specific one will be offered this year depends on Lady Letty’s mood.”

Heh, as Kefir became a senior, the new semester’s “selection competition” immediately began, and the prize was a treasure from the private vault of the Rosia Empire’s Emperor! These “preconditions” were so obvious that I didn’t even need to glance at the script to know: the main quest for Kefir to level up and hunt for treasure had arrived!

Perhaps Kefir had been preparing for this before, but regardless, as someone who’s riding on Kefir’s coattails, I had to subtly remind her.

While I was pondering, the overly familiar Horusov had already wrapped his arm around my shoulder, waving his finger in front of me, directing me.

“Big brother, since Lady Letty has entrusted me with your safety, I won’t let you down! Step one: I’ll show you the beauties of the Rosia Empire! Of course, whether you succeed or not can’t be forced, it’s up to your own skills, Lady Letty will definitely be pleased!”

No, I think Letty might just electrocute you into unconsciousness.

Saying this, Horusov pointed to a figure not far away, “How about that midget? She’s the epitome of intellect and legality!”

Does this Russian not know the situation after just returning to the academy? The person he just pointed to is Professor Moriarty.

Seeing that I didn’t respond, Horusov seemed to understand something.

“So that’s it, you don’t like midgets!”

What made you decide at first glance that I like midgets?

Then, Horusov pointed to the side of Moriarty. Naturally, the one who would be walking with Professor Moriarty at this time would definitely be…

“What about the one next to her? Tsk tsk tsk, although she’s not my type, she’s quite… unique.”

“Charlatan! What are you doing hugging and cuddling with a strange man!? Come here! I have something to talk to you about!”

“Oh! Coming right now, Kefir!”

I pulled away Horusov’s hand and immediately left for Kefir’s side, and Kefir naturally drew closer.

The next moment, a frustrated roar came from behind Horusov.

“Turns out you have a wife, huh!?”
