I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

31. Who’s the Boss, Meow? (Begging for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month～)

I’m not intentionally being a contrarian, but “project competition” is for Kefir to win, I’d love for the script to have the words “fair competition.” However, the reality is: this suddenly emerging Skij targeting Kefir is one thing, but even the competition that Kefir should rightfully win, he’s deliberately causing trouble.

Moreover, Skij’s chosen project is similar to ours, and thinking it was me competing, he just now slandered us by pointing fingers. So, it’s not me who’s being contrary, it’s the script.

Not to mention his project is full of holes, I don’t need the script, I could attack based on “historical attacks.” The last one who wanted to plant corn in Siberia didn’t end up with any good juice to drink.

His confident speech under the envious or admiring gazes of others was interrupted, initially Skij was stunned, but after realizing it was me, the Russian immediately clenched his fists and charged at me with a lunge!

【Lupinski struck Euclid dead on the spot!】

I’m certainly not afraid, why would I panic? My head held high, I felt a rush of exhilaration!

At the same time, Kefir had already moved in front of me, raising a hand, and with her own strength, effortlessly knocked down Lupinski’s incoming fist, watching him hold his fist and gasp for air.

“Kefir, why are you helping this person!?”

“Because I’m just someone who runs errands for him and the professor.”

Kefir let out a shallow laugh, and I knew that in reality, the boss was very angry. I just didn’t know if Kefir was angry because Lupinski looked down on her project, or looked down on me…

“How could you possibly be just someone who runs errands!?”

“Then I’m a hitman, bodyguard, servant, maid, wife, whatever you want to think.”

Kefir’s tone shifted, “But… keep your hands and feet to yourself.”

“!”

Intimidated by Kefir’s presence, Lupinski was left with his fist neither here nor there, stiff and unsure of what to do. Eventually, amidst a significant commotion, everyone’s attention was drawn back to the judges’ table.

“Quiet, quiet! Rublyanka Academy does not allow private fights and disturbances!”

The leading old man picked up a small hammer and started banging on the table, a stark contrast to the recent sensational news. True to the script’s description of being “fair and just,” he didn’t even glance at Kefir but stared straight at me.

“Who are you?”

“A student of Professor Moriarty, here to participate in the project competition with the professor.”

Whispers immediately spread around the judges’ table.

“Moriarty? The pig farmer?”

“Idiot, all you know is pig farming. She’s an industry magnate appointed by the dean to retire here…”

After a bit of conversation, the three old men’s attitude towards me improved significantly.

“I see, then tell us, why can’t corn be grown in the Siberian region of the Rossiya Empire?”

Because the last one who tried to grow corn there is long gone!

Of course, I couldn’t say that. Based on what I knew as a “transmigrator,” I had to come up with some excuse.

“The climate is unsuitable; Siberia is too cold, corn won’t grow there. Using corn as an energy source is less efficient than mining coal…”

“Hmph! What does a pig farmer’s companion know!”

Lupinski stomped his foot, “You think I haven’t thought of that! Cold as it may be, we could use greenhouses…”

“Greenhouse your sister, do you think you’re growing proud snow pines! The harsh climate of Siberia, with blizzards as common as meals, and you want a greenhouse? It’ll be blown away in less than three days!”

“Suka…”

Before I could utter another word, the three old men had already found me. At this point, the content had far exceeded the scope of Kefir’s prepared topic, so I was completely improvising.

Kefir, with a mix of surprise and delight, stared at me motionless, while Professor Moriarty had yet to speak, leaving me feeling quite anxious.

“The Siberian region of the Rossiya Empire is mostly uninhabited wastelands and military zones under the control of Emperor Leti. How do you know so much about the environment there?”

Of course, it’s because I once played the arch-villain, forced to flee there for a while in desperation~

“Having traveled through various countries before, I’m quite familiar with the environment.”

With that said, I turned to look at Passerby Skye. There’s no “let him off” option in my principles; anyone who hinders Kefir’s leveling up and treasure hunting must die! Whoever opposes Kefir, I’ll smash their dog head!

“So, I think for Passerby Skye’s corn planting, compared to experimenting, it might be simpler to start over from scratch. As for our project, dear judges, you might want to take a look at Professor Moriarty and my ‘project’—it’s a new energy source.”

The three old men hastily snatched the dossier from my hands, then without a care, started passing it among themselves.

“Gas? Is this reliable?”

“Hey, have you forgotten? Last time in the Siberian military camp, a guy went to the open-air toilet, smoking and drinking, and caused an explosion. It blasted him sky-high, his chrysanthemum was completely blown apart. Don’t remember?”

No, gentlemen, I think this “gas” of yours is a bit different from the “gas” in the report.

Moments later, the three old men solemnly accepted the dossier, carefully packed it in a paper bag, and looked up at me.

“Professor Moriarty, your and your student’s project has passed the preliminary review. By the way… when you have time, please come to the Design Bureau; we’d like to discuss this matter with you in detail.”

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar around, as the clear-eyed understood: the implication was no different from “appointing” the victor. Passerby Skye was not pleased!

“Hold on, Design Bureau! What about my report…”

“Passerby Skye, your and your mentor’s report lacks proof, and… obviously, it’s not as comprehensive as the next one, I’m afraid it cannot pass…”

He intended to praise one and belittle the other, but in the end, he was the one who was embarrassed, how could Passerby Skye tolerate this!?

He subconsciously wanted to come and trouble me, but was stared back by Kefir’s glance. Frustrated and with nowhere to vent, he circled around like a stray dog that couldn’t find a fight, eventually directing his anger at the three old men!

“It’s clear that you three are spouting nonsense! The report I discussed with Lord Rasputin couldn’t possibly have flaws! It must be that you took their money…”

However, the next moment, the three originally rigid old men from the Design Bureau suddenly burst out of their clothes, their sinewy muscles popping out with a “crack,” and one of them even lifted Passerby Skye with a powerful fist.

“Kid, instead of falsely accusing our Design Bureau, you might as well go back and drink milk, you’re not qualified! Sukha Blyat!”

Finally, the three of them left quickly, twisting their upper body muscles in silence.

Phew… With this, I’ve dealt with the first “difficulty” in the script for Kefir, haven’t I? At this point, Kefir’s chances of winning the project competition are very high.

I took a deep breath, and then… it got stuck in my throat.

Because the moment Kefir was leading me away, he even looked spiritedly at Passerby Skye, who hadn’t gotten up from the ground.

“How about that, now you know whether he’s a waste or not, huh~?”

Kefir couldn’t hide his joyous smile.

【Passerby Skye must kill Oglethorpe!】

Boss, isn’t this… looking for trouble?

But seeing Kefir’s happy face, I still swallowed back the thoughts that had reached my mouth; as long as Kefir the boss is happy, that’s good.
