“How about a hero? What’s the new look of the Imperial Palace?”
“……..”
I dragged Frey out of the dark room, who had lost his speech, and began to introduce him to the ruins of the imperial palace.
“It’s nice to look clean and tidy, but isn’t it pretty to be broken and covered in blood like this?”
The imperial palace date walking down the hallway with the hero was so much fun.
It was a pleasure to watch his always virtuous expression slowly fading away.
– Tired…!
“…Umm.”
If it wasn’t for my head that started to throb and hurt for some reason, everything would have been perfect.
I don’t know why I feel a headache that I’ve never felt in my life at such a pleasant moment.

Maybe it’s because I’m so excited about this situation?
Every time I see Frey, I can see my heart beating, so I guess that’s the cause.
“Voila! How are you?”
“……!”
So, let’s calm down a bit and let the excitement go.
The best moment I ever wanted was right now.
“Here…”
“It’s an empire! The curse that dedicated Clana’s heart, burning forever.”
After using teleportation magic to arrive in the city center of the Empire with Frey, I began to show him the Empire that had become a living hell.
“Sah, people…”
“The whole empire was burned down, of course they were all dead.”
“No… that, it could be…”
“We couldn’t avoid it, and everyone was burned to death in the flames.”
In fact, the people of the Empire safely escaped the continent just before the curse engulfed the Empire.
It was thanks to Irina and Perloche, who at the last moment threw their lives away and made it possible to escape.
“Children, adults, the elderly… all without discrimination.”
“Ugh, ugh.”
“How about the terrible screams that echoed throughout the Empire for a few minutes?”
However, that fact doesn’t really matter.
What you need to drop this boy in front of you is not the truth, but an illusion mixed with lies.
In the first place, the only living beings left in this world are him and I, and that’s it.
“Uhhh…”
Frey, who was enchanted by my fantasy magic, covered her ears and began to cry.
“Stop… stop…”
“You’re making a very painful expression.”
“Stop… please…”
Then, soon after, he started begging me.
“Stop this… now…”
“Oh, you’re cute.”
I was skeptical that it might be ruined too quickly, but it was true that it was cute anyway.
“I don’t want to see you anymore…”
“No, no. Frey.”
However, I couldn’t stop here.
“It’s just the beginning.”
To see the star-falling moment I’ve wanted all my life, I couldn’t be satisfied here.
“The next destination is the Western Continent.”
“no…”
“Should I hold on tight?”
That’s why I hugged him carefully, stroking his hair softly and whispering so.
“If I miss it, I could get hurt as much as I did back then.”
– Tired…!
“…Ugh?”
I got a little headache again, but I decided to just ignore it.
“…Fufu.”
Just by looking at the star in my arms just before it fell, I was able to shake off such pain as if it had washed away.
.
“This is where the Western Continent used to be. Now it’s just a huge chunk of ice.”
“West, the western continent… the whole…”
“Can’t you guess who’s going to run away?”
Traveling around the world together with Frey, I began to thoroughly prove that he and I were the only two left in this world.
“This is where the Eastern Continent used to be.”
“…What?”
“I was so rebellious that I just sank the whole thing at the bottom of the sea.”
Actually, it was easier than I thought.
“And this is… the place where the last survivors were.”
“……..”
“As you can see, one by one, they cut off their heads.”
It was because Frey, who knew how to rebel violently, was quietly looking down at the ruined world in my arms.
“Now that I have removed everything like that, the Demon Kings have caught my eye.”
“no way…”
“Did you know what I said earlier was a lie?”
For the hero whose life was to protect everything, it seems that this sight was several times more stimulating than I thought.
“In a utopia where only the two of us will be left, there is no place for them.”
“……..”
“I can’t tolerate any living things. Only you and me, that’s enough. Frey.”
The brightly shining star was falling too fast.
“Now, so… How do you feel about seeing the ruined world?”
So, after finishing our journey, we returned to the ruined throne.
“At this point, you must have noticed too? That all of this is not an illusion but reality…”
I reached out to Frey, who was sitting on the floor with less talk, drawing an arc on the corner of my mouth.
“…what are you doing?”
I looked at Frey, who suddenly jumped like lightning and rushed at me, with a puzzled expression.
He would have known it was all over.
Why are you doing this?
I don’t understand.
– Whoops…!
I stand still, wondering what he will do, and I start to push a sharp stone into my chest with all my might, I don’t know when Frey took it.
– Woodduck…!
Well, no matter what, you can’t kill me.
At least it seems to have succeeded in giving me a slight amount of pain.
“…Huh.”
But what I wanted to pay attention to was his eyes.
His eyes, which were gradually losing their light, were burning fiercely as if they were making the last effort.
Like that demonic flame that burns around the two of us, that will burn the empire forever.
“kill it….”
“I love you… Frey.”
With a contorted expression on his face like a demon, he wields a stone at me even though his hand is being torn.
“…but it’s too intense.”
“Shut up…”
“Would you please be kind to me a little?”
“Shut up…”
The passion, the hatred, the love he pours into me.
Blood was slowly seeping through his chest.
“why…”
I felt a sense of abundance as if my empty heart was being filled, and I stood there for a few more minutes like that.
“Why…?”
Frey, who has put a stone on my shoulder, sits down helplessly and asks.
“Did you do this…?”
Ah, finally you’re asking.
No one had ever asked me such a question.
The Demon Kings simply followed my purpose by imagining them as they wished.
The world just saw me as an absolute evil to be defeated.
No one ever wondered why I was doing this.
Except for this boy who now sits down, soaked in my blood.
“Why did you do this?”
I was fortunate to be able to tell him my purpose.
“It’s simple.”
With that, you will be able to witness the stars falling vividly.
“It’s too boring.”
“…What?”
“I’m tired of a peaceful world and I think I’m going crazy, so I destroyed this world.”
As he whispered and smiled like that, Frey opened his mouth with a blue-eyed expression on his face.
“Only, only for that reason…”
“That’s the reason of the past.”
However, I gently covered his mouth with my hand and kept my eyes on the silver eyes and continued the story.
“Actually, I had no intention of destroying the world.”
“then…”
“But because of a boy I met while destroying the world, my purpose changed.”
“Ugh.”
“The kindest and purest soul in the world. The moment I first saw you with such a soul, I realized.”
It was fate.
A hero who was the only one who could kill me, the demon lord.
Such a Hero, the one I was looking for so much.
It must be a perfectly clean soul.
“I wanted to own you.”
“Umm…”
“I wanted to destroy you.”
He carefully climbs on top of him and leans over, and Frey leans backwards helplessly.
“I wanted to win over you. I wanted to destroy you. I wanted to swallow you up. I wanted to make you mine.”
Inside the boy, when he realizes that the cause of all this was because of himself, something begins to break.
“…what else should I say? This feeling I feel for you.”
Even his appearance was so cute and lovely, I bit his neck without realizing it.
– Well, well…
“……..”
Even though he gently rubbed his neck, he hugged Frey, who didn’t respond, and whispered in a low voice.
“You know, I must be a geeky demon.”
“……..”
“The demons don’t feel any love.”
His empty eyes, paradoxically, were now shining beautifully.
“I love you, warrior.”
It was a truly enchanting and beautiful moment.
“In this ruined world, let’s be together forever.”
I realized what the strange feelings I had for the hero were.
– Sreuk…
And as Frey, who had completely lost his will, wrapped his hand around my waist with an expressionless expression.
Above all else, the star that had been shining brightly finally fell miserably.
A moment that can truly be said to be the best of my life.
– Tired…!
“Ugh!?”
All of a sudden, everything started to turn upside down.
“mm, the head… ah, ah…”
It came suddenly, along with a pain incomparable to the previous headaches.
I just lost my mind.
.
you know, little one
look at the stars in the sky
The twinkling is like your eyes.
huh? After all, when the day comes, the stars will disappear?
kid, you are so stupid
It’s just invisible during the day, but those stars are always up.
So what are the stars that fall and disappear?
Did you see with your own eyes?
stupid guy.
that’s meteor
reel.
Don’t you believe me?
Now that I see it, I even cry.
Anyway, crybaby…
ha.
Don’t worry too much.
even if you fall
I will be the jewel that contains you.
So, let’s be together forever.
you are my star
I’m your ruby
no matter what happens
will never forget
never…
.
“ah.”
Ruby woke up in a cold sweat and fumbled with her hand, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead with a pale tired expression.
“…Frey.”
Eventually, she found Frey’s hand, and she began to speak with a trembling voice.
“I had a nightmare.”
“……..”
“I will become the Demon King as prophesied, and you and the girls will all be forgotten… and destroy the world.”
Ruby’s anxious eyes turned to Frey, who was next to him.
“Such terrible…”
And then, the next moment.
“Nightmare….. the…”
With a cold expression on her face, she began to blur her words.
“ha ha ha…..”
Frey, still drenched in blood, was lying there with a broken smile.
“………”
Around them like that, the light is slowly fading today as well.
“…Now, are you kidding me?”
Remains and blood of the ruined imperial palace.
“…frey?”
The moment Ruby’s memories came back all at once was the moment the star she loved so much fell.
