I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

18. I Don’t Need Face, Right?

By the time I almost made out what Keffiel had done, Drago, who couldn’t get up from the ground, was left with nothing but wails!

Keffiel, the pride of the heavens, didn’t do anything like “Whoever touches my people, I’ll cut down their eighteen generations,” but her straightforward actions in response to Drago’s mockery had already caused a pig-slaughtering outcry on the ground!

“Aghhh!! My back! What the heck are you all staring at!?”

The extra’s wail finally snapped his lackeys out of their daze.

The gang leader was the first to react!

“Damn it, causing trouble on the lord’s son’s turf! Taste my Phantom Sword…”

**Swoosh**

Kefir’s figure vanished in an instant. Without ninja-like vision, by the time I spotted her, the tip of Kefir’s slender sword was already perfectly poised at the towering gang leader’s throat. As for the leader, forget about performing any Phantom Sword Dance, he didn’t even get to swing his sword before he was left trembling…

“How… how… how is this possible!?”

His attitude, which had been so aggressive towards me, deflated in an instant. It was as if he realized something, and his iron-clad legs started to shake, drumming up a beat.

“Could you be…”

“The Great Ying Empire’s Knights cannot be dispatched by a mere lord. Prepare yourself for bricklaying at the construction site.”

“Woah!”

In the next moment, the man, much larger than Kefir, curled up into a ball, no longer caring about the mocking glances of his members, and hid in the corner, turning his back and sticking out his large behind.

Immediately after, Kefir’s gaze shifted to behind the gang leader.

“You have three minutes to line up and squat down willingly.”

Of course, these cannon fodders wouldn’t listen to Kefir. After all, the leader couldn’t even beat me, an ordinary person, at the start, so they didn’t take him seriously now.

“Who would’ve thought the leader is such a coward around women! Let’s take him down together!”

“Sigh…”

I clearly heard Kefir’s sigh. But can the protagonist’s sigh really be called a sigh? It’s more like “I’m so invincible, it’s boring”!

In an instant, sword shadows flew everywhere. Even the leader, who had just been scared witless by Kefir’s sword, couldn’t turn the tables. In no time, wails and screams accompanied their bodies hitting the ground, one after another, and this was just Kefir, the protagonist, “casually moving around”!

In the script, Kefir’s current strength is both martial and magical at the sixth tier, which simply means: not only can she pierce these cannon fodders with a chilling thrust, but she could even skewer them and roast them over a fire.

The extra who had just been stomped to the ground by Kefir finally struggled to his feet. However, what he saw was not a scene of his own triumph, but rather his lackeys fallen and wailing, a complete hell on earth.

He glanced at me in horror.

“What… what kind of person did you call here!?”

Didn’t I warn you earlier? If you’re an extra, don’t try to steal the scene. Since ancient times, those in the script who try to upstage the protagonist never end well.

Before I could answer, the extra, clutching his behind, threatened Kefir, who had already neatly dealt with all the cannon fodder and was sheathing her sword at her waist.

“You’re finished! How dare you lay a hand on me! I am the son of this town’s lord, a big shot you can’t even touch, the man destined to become Kefir’s priest…”

“What you are doesn’t matter. You’ve conspired with the local knights, wait to be raided. The Great Ying Empire’s Inspection Corps is already on its way.”

“Raid” is not a word to be used lightly, especially when you know you’re dealing with a noble.

The extra’s body shook violently. Just as he was about to spout some harsh words, his gaze fell on the leader, now playing ostrich, and he seemed to remember something. His face filled with terror as he looked back at Kefir.

“Who… who are you!? You’re just an imperial investigator, aren’t you!?”

An idiot, perhaps? Would the Empire’s investigators only send one? Could an Empire’s investigator be this powerful?

At the very least, just by looking at Kefir’s completely “protagonist-like” celestial beauty, you should have realized her identity is not ordinary!

“Indeed, I came here to conduct some covert investigations, but there are plenty of ways to handle and resolve a town’s issues. By the way, I apologize for the late introduction, I am the Kefir you mentioned, and I already have a personal priest, this person right before you.”

In an instant, Longtaier was rendered speechless.

Don’t look at me; although we’re both villains, we’re not the same. I’ve already turned over a new leaf.

After staring at me in disbelief for a while, Longtaier, while groaning in pain, squeezed out a smile in front of Kefir that was completely different from before.

“No wonder you scared away that useless captain of the knights earlier, so you are Miss Kefir, haha…”

While betraying the poor captain, Longtaier hurriedly pleaded with Kefir for mercy.

“Miss Kefir, it was all a misunderstanding—a misunderstanding! How could I have known you would come to our town personally? I was just… hoping to visit…”

Knowing Kefir’s identity now was too late. From the moment I notified Kefir to return, given Kefir’s protagonist nature, she wasn’t planning to simply “let it go,” not to mention Nieru, who was hiding behind me, nearly crying. Longtaier had already signed his death warrant.

Kefir kicked Longtaier to the ground: “Save your testimony for when the patrol team arrives.”

“Miss Kefir, I’ve already apologized… please show me some leniency…”

Begging didn’t work, and Longtaier, with his head lowered, spoke in a hushed tone, clearly a prelude to a death wish in the script!

But by now, I was too lazy to stop it, nor did I have the chance to.

Facing Longtaier’s “apology,” Kefir just gave a cold glance, “Harm and harass my friend, and you think I would forgive? Go and admit…”

“Don’t be shameless, you b*tch!”

Before she could finish, Longtaier, driven by insane rage, interrupted Kefir, “Just a ‘genius girl’ from a few years ago! Years have passed and you’re still the same! If it weren’t for your status, I wouldn’t bother with you! Sooner or later, you’ll just be an ordinary woman pressed under a man on a bed… Ahhh!”

In an instant, Kefir’s expression darkened, and without restraint, she pierced Longtaier’s cheek with a sword, silently watching him faint without any sign of waking up.

A minor character making a fatal mistake and being stabbed by the protagonist is an all too common script. Longtaier’s fate under his madness was predictable. But what puzzled me was, at the moment Longtaier shouted “a few years ago,” Kefir’s attitude as the protagonist suddenly… became terrifying.

It even made Nieru behind me shiver.

“Don’t be afraid, Nieru.”

“Eh? No… I just think the young lady is much cooler than you.”

Hey, even though Kefir is the protagonist, I have my pride too.

“Of course, you also…”

What? What did you say after that?
