– Bubble bubble bubble…
“Joe, wait a minute? Frey?”
Ruby, who stopped by the grocery store at the speed of light to buy breakfast ingredients, puts on an apron and heads to the kitchen.
“Because I’ll cook you a delicious meal. Huh?”
“……..”
Frey, who was staring blankly at her, nodded, and then Ruby entered the kitchen with a relieved expression on her face.
“Umm… It’s breakfast, so a simple potato soup and rye bread sandwich? Yeah. Don’t overdo it, let’s do it right.”
But soon there is a look of tension on his face.
“…can you do it?”
In fact, she had never done cooking before.
At best, to put something inside the bread?
To Ruby when he was an arrogant demon king, it was a natural thing to do because it was unimaginable for him to cook himself.
“Uh, umm… So… do you put all of this in and boil it?”
Thanks to this, she was a little embarrassed, and started to put the groceries into the pot.
“Mo, everything is delicious even if you eat it separately. It will be even more delicious if you brew it together.”
Apparently, the owner of the grocery store said that adding these could make a delicious vegetable soup.
“…Am I right?”
Ruby, who believed only those words and stirred a pot full of ingredients with a ladle, began to tilt her head.
– Chewy profit…
“Uh, uh.”
A strange smell, completely different from the potato soup he liked, was creeping up.
What does this smell like?
Maybe the grocery store owner was an assassin after Frey?
That’s quite possible.
Over the past few days, he and himself have been exposed too often.
“Hey, where is the burning smell coming from?”
“…….ah.”
Ruby, who was looking out the window with a cold expression, hears Frey’s words from the living room, and then comes to her senses.
“Yeah, it was.”
It wasn’t poison, it was a burning smell.
It was a natural result as no water was added at all, let alone water control.
“Hey, you shouldn’t do this.”
Ruby, who made stir-fried vegetables instead of vegetable potato soup, raises her fingers in a cold sweat.
“I wanted to do it with my own hands…”
I wanted to cook with my own hands instead of using magic like yesterday when I had no time to cook.
Because she was no longer the Demon King, but Frey’s woman. Wouldn’t it be natural to prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner by hand?
– Sharr…
Ruby glanced at Frey, who was sitting in the living room, and quietly waved her finger to cast a spell on the soup.
I wanted to show the taste of the hand, not the burnt taste, so I had no choice but to do it.
So, until you get used to ‘cooking’, use magic, but from now on, let’s practice whenever we have time.
The more you do it, the more likely Frey will get your forgotten memories back…
‘…really, will it?’
Ruby, who was lifting the soup, which had changed into a perfect shape, thought with an anxious expression.
‘Actually, maybe I’m escaping reality right now?’
There was no guarantee that his memories would come back. No, it was unclear whether there were any memories of returning from the beginning.
The only thing that returned now was Frey’s soul, regenerated by the power of the ring.
In the end, no matter how much I think about it, maybe it’s already too late…
– Pair…!!
“Let’s not think about it.”
She slapped her on the cheek with one hand, then took a deep breath and went out to the living room.
“Now it’s my turn to dedicate myself.”
It was Ruby who was muttering like that while looking at Frey with a blank expression in front of him.
.

– Well, well…
Frey takes a sip of the steaming soup and starts murmuring.
“Uh, how is it? Is it delicious?”
“Umm…”
Ruby looks at Frey and asks a question with an anxious expression.
“I do not know?”
“What, what? The magic… Oh no, is there something wrong with the liver?”
She, who was looking forward to it, hurriedly eats the soup at Frey’s ambiguous answer.
‘…Is it delicious?’
However, the taste of the soup was superb.
It was only natural that she used magic to describe the taste of the soup that Frey had made for her in the desert, the most delicious food she had ever eaten.
“No, if you don’t like it, I’ll do it again. Just tell me.”
However, since Frey’s expression looked unfamiliar, Ruby put her hand in his hand and said so.
“Oh, that’s fine.”
“Huh? Uh huh…”
However, Frey quickly pulled back her hand to avoid her. Thanks to this, an awkward silence begins to flow in the living room for a moment.
“Well, it’s no big deal… Potato soup doesn’t really suit my taste.”
“yes?”
At Frey’s remarks that broke the silence, Ruby began to look slightly startled.
“Rye bread is also crumbly and tasteless. It just tastes softer and tastier.”
“Uh, yeah…?”
“By the way… it’s kind of fun for some reason.”

Eventually, the moment she made a puzzled expression, Frey smiled and started talking.
“It doesn’t taste bad… It’s kind of fun. At the same time, something makes my heart ache? Anyway, it’s edible after all.”
“Woah, whoops.”
After hearing those words, Ruby bowed her head with tears in her eyes.
‘After all, there was a prospect…’
Hope began to writhe within her.
Devotion to him was the right answer.
But now I had an idea ahead of that.
‘Fray… Actually, he hated potato soup and rye bread.’
Frey, who had everything reset, hated vegetable potato soup and rye bread to the extent that you could tell just by looking at his expression.
However, until a few days ago, he said that rye bread and potato soup were the most delicious foods.
That would mean that he tried to save himself from countless regressions, and even changed his taste to Ruby’s standard.
It was a passage that showed how much he valued himself.
“Oh, thank you…”
“yes?”
“Thanks Frey…”
It was a small thing, but for Ruby, it was a big emotion. So she wanted to say thank you directly to Frey.
“What do you mean thank you?”
“……..”
But Frey in front of him just tilted his head and asked.
“Just, everything…”
Ruby, who was looking at him in tears, finally couldn’t control the boiling emotions and muttered a single tear from her eyes.
“Thank you all…”
Her biggest wish right now was to say thank you and say that she worked hard at least once to Frey.
It was Ruby who hated the way he had to thank Frey, who had lost his memory, and who made it.
– Sreuk…
“Ugh.”
After such a moment of silence, Ruby glances at him and begins to hold his hand, and Frey tilts his head.
“It’s strange, I’m just holding hands, but I’m getting goosebumps.”
“……..”
“And I hate you so much. I hate you so much that I want to kill you even if we have to die together.”
And then, Frey calmly talks about his feelings.
“sorry…”
“Do you have a question.”
Without knowing the truth, he had treated his life as a toy for the rest of his life. So when Ruby closes her eyes tightly and tries to kneel on the floor again, Frey hurriedly asks a question.
“You, what are you?”
After those words, Ruby began to make a blank expression.
“What is your true identity? What kind of person are you to me? Who the hell are you, making me feel so complicated every time I see you?”
Looking at her like that, Frey asked a question, and Ruby took a deep breath and began to answer step by step.
“I am a sinner.”
“Are you a sinner?”
“At the same time, you’re the worst scum who’s committed an indelible sin against you.”
“……..”
“And, arrogantly, I’m also an idiot who, after making a choice that can never be undone, grunts like a puppy to try to change the situation somehow.”
Ruby, who was holding Frey’s hand, slowly closed her eyes and continued her conversation.
“And now, depending on your choice, I can give you anything.”
“Anything?”
“Yes, Frey.”
Having said that, the Demon King sat down on a chair, stroked Frey’s cheeks, and whispered in a low voice.
“For example, I can be a competent butler. Just tell me, get a suit or butler clothes and I’ll be your own butler.”
“And, you can also become the strongest Archmage. A wizard who can move as you wish, like the magicians of the Tower, who can’t even give you a business card.”
“I can be a librarian if you want. But I don’t recommend it. I’m a very stupid woman.”
“I can make you an emperor. If your wish is to become an emperor, I can make you so.”
“I can become a saint. If I order it, I will train my soul-manipulating ability even now. Just tell me.”
Ruby quietly embraces him as Frey gives a long and brooding expression in response to the whisperings.
“Of course, if you want, you can become a knight. You can also become a barking dog. A s*x slave that is used roughly to relieve s*xual desire is also good. I will be anything.”
“……..”
“The important thing is that no matter what happens, I will devote myself to being your woman. Frey.”
From within, Frey’s cool voice is heard.
“If I told you to leave me now, what would you do then?”
Ruby, who trembled slightly at those words, answered with a crying voice.
“I will leave you immediately.”
“Hmm.”
Then, Ruby immediately lowered her head slightly and started to make eye contact with Frey.
“Of course, even if I leave you, I’ll be your woman forever.”
“Okay. Now that I don’t have any memories, it’s a loss to throw you out who knows me. To be honest, I want to throw you out of my mind.”
Frey, who answered that while turning her gaze to the side, said while looking at Ruby, who was smiling brightly despite the harsh words.
“By the way, you don’t look very strong for saying that.”
“That’s right?”
“Yeah, no matter how you look at it, she looks like an ordinary academy girl.”
Hearing those words, Ruby sighed in relief.
‘Good luck.’
In order not to be wary of the sensitive Frey, she lowered her abilities for a while.
‘For now, the most urgent problem has been somehow solved…’
Although Frey felt like his heart was breaking because he was afraid of and hating himself.
Anyway, Ruby started to sigh deeply after completing her plan to establish a relationship with Frey.
– Shaa…
“Well?”
Then she tilted her head when she saw the mana of the stars that suddenly started spreading in all directions.
“…I am being watched.”
“What?”
Then, she widened her eyes at Frey’s calm words.
“I felt something strange, so when I opened something full of my body in all directions, I could feel gazes from all over the place.”
“Damn it. Suddenly… uh.”
At those words, Ruby got up from her seat with a cold expression on her face, and immediately opened her eyes.
– Chijik, Chijik…
“what.”
The ring that shone brightly on the little finger of Frey’s left hand was slightly darkened.
– Slurry…
“Uh-huh?”
At the same time, Frey fell down on the desk with empty eyes.
“Why, why…”
Ruby, who hastily hugged Frey with a cold expression on her face, quickly loses her voice with a startled expression.
“Ah, ah, ah…”
The ring did not restore Frey’s soul.
He was simply breathing life into Frey’s body with the power within.
– Pajik, fidgety…
The ring is blinking.
Frey used mana, and the power of the ring was weakened by one level.
“Oh, oh no…”
Ruby, who sat down without getting up from the chair, had her legs loosened and muttered while holding her head.
“Because of me again… Because of the stupid me…”
He allowed the eavesdropping because he had weakened his powers so that he would not be suspicious of Frey.
And Frey shortened the time limit that was still tight to discover the eavesdropping.
If it goes like this, it was clear that the most precious person who changed his life would become a pretty doll forever.
As much as that, Ruby wanted to stop it by any means possible.
“Hey, I don’t have time for this.”
Therefore, she had to find a way to get out of this place as soon as possible and recharge the power of the ring.
If the ring’s power is discharged before charging, you will never see Frey again.
“Hey, you have to get out of here.”
With that thought in mind, Ruby, who held Frey on her back, began to panic again.
“Uh, where should I go? Outskirts of the Western Continent? Oji? Or the Dodo or the Eastern Continent?”
“Ugh…”
“Si, I don’t have time. If I keep going like this, even my last hope will fade away.”
Then she muttered desperately, stroking Frey’s cheeks, whose soul began to blink again.
“…I’ll save you this time, Frey.”
.
.
.
.

Meanwhile, at that time, the temporary residence of the warrior party located in a quiet place on the streets of the western continent.
“……I’ll turn.”
Provisional Captain Bener was holding his head and speaking to everyone.
“The hero passed over to Frey.”
“Yes, yes!?”
“What…!”
Thanks to this, the atmosphere quickly became noisy.
“…Calm down.”
Bener, who had calmed the atmosphere, whispered in a low voice.
“From now on, we begin the briefing on Operation Frey’s surprise.”
The meeting continued for several hours.
Heh
Suddenly I feel sympathy for Ruby, how!?
