Die If I Can't Marry Off My Favorite (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 3
“What a shock!”
The girl who came down from the attic shrugged her shoulders. The girl was none other than Milla, the village chief’s granddaughter.
The chief, in a foul mood, struck the floor with his cane and scolded her.
“Didn’t I clearly tell you! Don’t go near ‘that girl’!”
In front of her grandfather’s shouting, Milla nonchalantly pouted her lips. Then, she rummaged through her pocket, pulled something out, and thrust it forward.
“I came here for something important, you know? Because of this!”
“Hm? What’s this?”
The chief narrowed his eyes and took what his granddaughter handed him. It was a dainty little pouch with a pleasant fragrance.
“It’s potpourri. Made with dried herbs.”
“…Did you make this?”
“How could I make this? ‘That girl’ made it. She was making it to pass the time before being offered as a sacrifice since the gate is fully open. I brought the materials, though.”
Milla’s eyes glinted slyly as she took the pouch back.
“She said to give it as a gift to people after she’s gone, but is she crazy? Giving this pretty thing away for free. I’m going to sell it at the market in the city.”
The chief’s heart warmed at the sight of his granddaughter diligently securing her share.
Moreover, it was truly fortunate that ‘that girl,’ who had been running wild like a colt since she started talking, had finally accepted her fate.
Feeling much more at ease, the chief affectionately patted his granddaughter’s shoulder.
“Yes, yes. As expected, my granddaughter takes after me. The money from selling that, add it to your dowry…”
Rumble—
A sudden powerful tremor caused the chief and Milla to fall to the floor. Screams from people outside echoed in. The two scrambled to their feet and looked out the window.
The yellow beam of light rising in the distance was gradually turning white with a rumbling sound.
When that light completely turned white, the gate to Tronos would open, and a monster would emerge.
The chief, horrified, pushed his granddaughter.
“I’m going to the young master right now! You go get ‘that girl,’ hurry!”
“Yes, yes…!”
The two hurriedly scattered. Meanwhile, the tremors continued.
As if heralding the end of this village.
[This is the timeline separator]At a low hill on the western outskirts of the village.
A woman with a pretty appearance stood there quietly, wearing a red dress symbolizing a sacrifice. Her steady gaze reached the massive pillar of light stretching beyond the clouds.
The hem of the cheap red skirt fluttered lightly in the breeze. Watching this, the village chief cleared his throat and approached.
“Don’t resent too much, ahem!”
Intending to offer meaningless comfort, the chief couldn’t finish his words and sneezed with a strange sound. It was because of the strong herbal scent emanating from the woman.
The woman didn’t even glance at the chief and walked forward resolutely on her own. The villagers, who had been ready to push her if she resisted, awkwardly hid their poles behind their backs.
At some distance from the pillar of light stood Vixir Buren, who had arrived earlier.
Vixir Buren was feeling considerable fear at being closer to the gate than others. Yet, he stood tall, pretending to be unfazed.
Finally, the woman approached close enough for conversation. Vixir Buren flashed a vile smile and crossed his legs.
“How do you feel right now? Scared? Huh?”
The woman didn’t respond. Instead, she lowered her head with a sullen gesture.
And when she raised her head again moments later, her face was so heart-wrenchingly sorrowful that anyone would feel a pang.
Meeting her moist eyes, Vixir Buren’s face flushed bright red. Staring at him, the woman opened her mouth.
“Young master…”
Her voice was plaintive.
Vixir Buren swallowed hard. In his mind, a sweet and joyful life with the woman, from marriage to death, flashed by in an instant.
“Ahem, acting coy because you’re scared. As expected, this one’s just another helpless girl.”
Feeling satisfied, Vixir Buren cleared his throat and put on a gentle voice.
“I’m a generous man, so if you say you’ll be mine now, I’ll specially forgive you. Come here.”
Vixir Buren spread his arms wide. Astonishingly, the woman began running toward him with vigor.
Vixir Buren’s mouth stretched into a wide grin. Then, as the woman got closer and their eyes met, a chill ran down his spine.
“Why, why… is she charging at me with such gleaming eyes?”
It was exactly like the face of someone about to dunk their sworn enemy into a cesspool…
“…W-Wait! Stop!”
Sensing danger instinctively, Vixir Buren shouted urgently. Naturally, the woman didn’t stop.
She leaped off the ground and soared into the air. In the next moment, a powerful dropkick landed squarely on Vixir Buren’s groin.
Crack, the sound of something shattering rang out.
“AAAAAAAHHHH!!!”
Amid the villagers’ gasps, a heart-wrenching scream echoed through the air.
“Punishment, complete.”
Having flown like a butterfly and stung like a bee, I finished with a perfect landing and brushed off my clothes with satisfaction.
A glance showed Vixir Buren crawling on the ground, frothing at the mouth. His writhing, insect-like movements were utterly pathetic.
“Trash.”
I snorted with a huff.
During the two days I was confined, the chief’s talkative granddaughter, who alternated with the chief to bring me meals, always chattered about this and that while I ate.
Naturally, among her stories was one about Vixir Buren.
– The youngest master has a wife but keeps chasing after new women.
– …He’s married?
– You didn’t know? Well, who would tell you such things? He’s married. But they say it’s not a good marriage. He says his wife is ugly or something. Oh, is that why he goes after every pretty woman he sees?
– ….
– Still, you’re lucky. He said he’d take you as a concubine, right? Other women, he just plays with and discards. That’s why the estate is full of his illegitimate children. Pfft! Speaking of which, you haven’t yet, right?
– Haven’t what?
– Haven’t served the young master yet. I saw you two heading to the back alley together… Oh, right, the gate opened right after that. So you haven’t yet—Whoa! Did you break something?
I thought he was just a simple pervert loitering around and harassing women, but it turned out Vixir Buren was a far worse degenerate criminal than I imagined.
As the youngest son of the lord, no one had ever stopped him. And he would likely continue committing crimes without hesitation.
“I can’t just let that slide.”
Having gone through an all-girls middle school, high school, and university, how many perverts have I dealt with? Enough to fill several trucks.
Today, the legendary Egg Breaker, Jin Nuo Ran, has returned to vanquish another degenerate.
I spat toward my 3,324,894th achievement. The guy, understandably in immense pain, couldn’t come to his senses.
But others would. A quick glance back showed several villagers hurriedly running toward me.
“Tch.”
Clicking my tongue, I immediately bolted toward the hill’s summit. Getting caught now would ruin everything.
Reaching the top, I saw the massive pillar of light flashing, displaying its grandeur.
The gate, piercing through the world, looked strikingly similar to what I’d imagined while reading the novel. Perhaps because of that, staring at it gave me an oddly peculiar feeling.
Meanwhile, the yellow pillar was gradually being overtaken by white. When it turned completely white, disaster would befall this village.
I had to enter it before that happened.
Because after setting the goal of “meeting Asperan,” the method I chose was to close my eyes and leap into Tronos.
In the novel *I’ll Try to Change My Fate*, there’s an episode where the male protagonist, Ulysses, is offered as a sacrifice to Tronos.
This is a crucial episode, the starting point of all misunderstandings and conflicts between the female and male protagonists, which left a million readers heartbroken and queasy… but that’s not important right now.
Anyway, Ulysses later meets his cousin Asperan, whom he didn’t know was in Elros, and learns the secret of his birth. That’s the key point.
Ulysses, thrown bare into the world of monsters, successfully makes it to Elros.
“That means there’s a gate to Elros near the gate Ulysses entered.”
And the forest where Ulysses’ gate appeared is the same one next to this village.
To speculate, there must be a gate to Elros near the gate in this village.
“Plus, in Loakin, the Tronos scouting team patrols the gate’s surroundings daily. The chance of being rescued is higher than being eaten by monsters!”
Still, I couldn’t rely entirely on luck, so I prepared a countermeasure against the monsters.
Namely, using herbs with a sterilizing effect.
According to what the female protagonist, Bonita, discovered in the story, monsters detest the scent of sterilizing herbs.
So, during the two days I was confined, I coaxed the chief’s granddaughter to get a pile of dried herbs and linen scraps to make potpourri.
Thanks to carrying herbs all day, my entire body was steeped in their strong scent. I also attached about six potpourri pouches inside my clothes.
To the monsters, I was now no different from a rice ball rolled in a dung heap. They’d never eat me.
“Preparation is perfect.”
After organizing my plan again, I turned my gaze toward the bottom of the hill. Before entering, I had something to say to the villagers.
At the hill’s base, people were frantically looking between the fallen Vixir Buren and me, stomping their feet. I stared at them for a moment, then raised both hands.
And then.
“What’s that girl doing…?”
Amid the villagers’ puzzled gazes, my middle fingers stood tall and proud.
I took a deep, satisfying breath.
“You—!”
And, drawing energy from my core,
“Selfish jerks—!!!”
I let out a mighty roar!
Far off, I could see the villagers’ mouths drop open in unison.
Well, that felt exhilarating.
