– Sreuk…
With empty eyes, Frey reached out into the frozen Ruby’s arms.
His arms are wrapped around Ruby’s waist, and his head is wrapped around her neck.
“……..”
In that state, Frey, with her eyes closed, drooped, entrusting herself to Ruby.
It was a situation that Ruby had longed for and dreamed of.
A monumental moment when a fallen star gives up everything and embraces itself.
“Ahhh.”
But at that moment when she should have been ecstatic, the expression that appeared on Ruby’s face.
“Ahhh…”
It was a terrible expression, filled with all kinds of sorrow and despair.
“No ah ah ah ah!!!”
How much time has passed
“…Ruby?”
“Ahhh!!!”
She loses her reason for a moment, gets up from her seat and starts running.
“Where are you going…?”
“It can’t be reality. It’s all a dream. Everything…”
“Ruby…”
Frey stretched out her hand with a blank expression on her face, but Ruby just ran forward.
“It’s just a fleeting nightmare…”
Ruby, who came out of the throne room while muttering, puts her hand against the wall, exhaling a rough breath.
“So, now is the time to wake up…”
right at that moment.
– Kurreung…!
The damaged and neglected wall of the hallway began to collapse forward as it received Ruby’s power.
“…why don’t you wake up from the dream.”
In the eyes of Ruby who lost her balance and fell to the floor thanks to him.
– Whoops…
“………”
The image of the empire turned into hell, burning bright red, comes into view.
“…no.”
Ruby’s last wish that all of this would be a dream, sadly did not come true.
“Why, why did I win… Why…”
Because she had already used the last wish she could make.
.
It’s been several months since Ruby’s memory returned.
“…”
Currently, Ruby is sitting on the dark throne of the Demon King, not the bloody throne she loved so much.
“………”
The arrogant, confident smile she always had is no longer visible on her face.
It feels like I’m going crazy right now,
However, there was only one girl who was exhausted because of her high mental power.
– Supportive…!
Then, suddenly, she wakes up at the sound of a crystal ball lying next to the throne.
“Crab, who is it?”
– Supportive…
“All, answer me. Please.”
It was a crystal ball that was set to ring immediately when signs of life were found, in order to find traces of survivors over the past few months.
Although the thing that was being heard from the crystal ball now was a crackling noise.
If the noise is a sign of ‘something’.

Maybe there was no hope.
who are still alive.
The hope that maybe the group might remain…
– Tsuzuzuzu…
“…ah.”
But even such a wind is a crystal ball that loses its light in vain for a while.
“……..”
Ruby, who was looking at the crystal ball that no longer made any sound, lowered her arm helplessly, and the crystal ball that escaped her hand rolls across the floor.
“…what did you want?”
In fact, Ruby was already aware of it.
“If you find survivors, what are you going to do?”
The fact that in this world, there is not a single survivor.
“After all, after all.”
And now that we find the survivors, nothing will change.
No matter how hard they tried for the past few months, they could not bring back the flames that covered the empire, the cold that froze the western continent, and the eastern continent that had sunk into the sea.
This world had already been completely ended by Ruby herself.
“…So, let’s finish it now.”
Ruby, who had been sitting on the throne idly for a while, suddenly summoned a sword from the air and smiled with a broken smile.
“Hell and Purgatory are good, so let’s end it.”
– Thump, thump…!
Suddenly, the sword that was pointed at her heart quietly glowed with a silvery light.
The true nature of that sword is Frey’s favorite sword and the last part of the warrior’s armor.
The only weapon that could kill the Demon Lord himself was digging into her heart.
“…for a moment.”
However, Ruby stood up before all the swords penetrated her heart.
“I’m not going to do this.”
She had just remembered that she could not draw out the power of this sword, and that there was another person who had to kill her.
“Then, to him…”
However, Ruby’s face, remembering that person, is rapidly dyed with fear.
“……..”
No, rather than fear.
Something filled with sadness and despair, lamentation and hesitation, guilt and regret, was eroding Ruby.
“…I’ll go now, Frey.”
But, that didn’t mean I couldn’t stop moving.
“Thee…”
Because he was the only one who could kill himself.
.
“……..”
As Ruby heads to the room where Frey has been staying for the past few months, memories of the past come to mind.
“Young Master, please do a great job…”
“Don’t worry, you bastard. I’m not dying.”
“Kyeong-eun… he was my best servant.”
“See you in heaven, Frey.”
“…I love you, honey.”
The final moments of the girls who stood by Frey’s side are vividly replayed in Ruby’s head.
“Excuse me, Ruby-sama, but you obey my orders in the mansion. You are a maid, and I am the butler…”
“You, you… how did you know I was a dragon? Oh, no. It’s not that important… Puff, it’s a secret from Frey?”
“For saving Mother… Thank you. Seriously. If I become emperor, I will make you my knight…”
“You’re such a pretentious person… Yeah? What are you talking about? You’re just being docile in front of Frey, it’s all over…”
“Ruby, I went on a date with Frey yesterday? Are you envious? Whoa…”

Memories with them also start to flutter in my head.
“Sister’s position… Knight’s position… If everything goes… What should I do… Me, I also like Frey…”
“Sister! Are you a real sister!? Really??”
A knight who drank alcohol in the middle of the night and was drunk while holding his neck.
The moment the memory returned, the younger brother hugged him with tears in his eyes.
“Ugh.”
Ruby, who had gone crazy with her thoughts up to that point, reached out to her left eye in a cold sweat.
“Luru…”
The one that occupied her left eye was none other than the magic eye her sister had.
– Awkward…
Ruby biting her left eye with a clenched fist, staggered and moved.
To end this hellish situation.
towards the only person.
“Fray.”
Ruby, who arrived at the door where he was, opened her mouth with her blood-stained hands in front of her.
“I’m here.”
There was no response back.
“Are you going in…?”
It was natural.
A few months ago, Frey had something fundamentally changed by him.
I tried to get him back, but it was all in vain.
Raising a fallen star again was impossible in the first place.
– Profit…
And now she is about to meet the star in the room.
The man who never stopped loving, who he decided to be with forever.
– Chick… Queek…
But the moment the door opened, what appeared in front of her with an ominous sound.
“……..”
It was Frey, who had his neck hung and cooled down.
.
“…Frey.”
“……..”
An empty voice resounds.
“Why are you doing this?”
Ruby grabs Frey’s leg hanging from the rope and shakes him with a smirk.
“Hey, come down.”
“……..”
“Let’s go for a walk after a long time, okay?”
Those who gave their lives for the ones they love.
And in order to save him, she chose to die forever.
“…Hey, why isn’t there an answer?”
The ending they experienced each time was repeated again.
“Fray, didn’t you leave me?”
If it differs from the past, it must be that this was the first round in which Ruby completely won.
“Uh, until yesterday… You strangled me? While smiling brightly. Huh?”
Ruby unwrapped her clothes and showed the blue bruise left on her neck, pulling down Frey with her eyes closed.
“Gee, I’ve been neglecting you so far. I’ll admit it. I’ve been fussing around for months and I’ve almost neglected you…”
“……..”
“Mi, I’m sorry. I sincerely apologize. Ooh… let’s start over. I’ll do everything you ask me to…”
Before long, she sat down on the floor and hugged Frey, who still had no answer.
“Come on, I won’t even think about suicide in the future… Please open your eyes.”
“……..”
“Don’t leave me alone…”
Frey’s body cooled down, taking her body temperature away.
“please…………..”

Maybe because of that, Ruby, who was shaking violently, started to cry from her eyes.
– Supportive…
Leaving her hand and losing even a small amount of light, Frey’s sword fell on the floor.
“……..”
After realizing that she has to live in this world forever, left alone, Ruby loses her expression and droops.
Like Frey dropped by her.
It was the moment when the burning ruby was shattered.
“…no way.”
And that tragic scene.
“You must have been the last key.”
Surprisingly, there was someone who had an eye for it.
.
“……”
“This is why I always had to fail.”
The girl who came out of the darkness walked towards Frey and Ruby with an expression as if fifty thousand thoughts were overlapping her.
“It’s only now that I understand why you’ve been unusually obsessed with Frey, and why Mr. Roswin has always been that way.”
The girl who finally arrived in front of them quietly stretched out her hand, and Ruby’s eyes slowly closed.
“Hey, how many times have these things been repeated until now?”
A girl who quietly lays Ruby’s body next to Frey.
“I don’t know, but at least every time you lose your life, you’ll remember it again.”
Perloche, a girl who had completely removed her shadow and appeared, silently looked down at Ruby and murmured.
“…I can’t help but forget you like that.”
It was sad, but it was unavoidable.
“Having a plan and forgetting why you have to do it…”
Due to the successive retries, she had already suffered tremendous damage to her memory.
Therefore, Ferroche had no choice but to give up the memory of Ruby’s truth in order to execute the final strategy made by synthesizing the facts found in the retry including this episode.
“…Now rest in peace.”
While muttering like that, Perloche quietly grabbed Ruby’s hand and whispered while closing her eyes.
“I’ll try my best.”
The moment when Ruby’s hand, which had already overlapped with Frey, shuddered and shrunk in an instant.
“retry.”
The world began to shake and turn upside down.
– Jureuk…
With two lovers holding each other’s hands, quietly weeping tears from their eyes.
.
– Awesome…!
“…awesome!?”
It was the moment when a cold blade was pierced in her heart when Ruby came to her senses again.
“…to get some systems.”
Before she could grasp the situation, her consciousness was slowly slowing down.
“for a moment….”
In such a situation, the moment Frey pushed the sword all the way to try Donggwi-jin.
– Sreuk…
Even though it was painful enough to vomit blood, Ruby fixed her gaze on Frey.
‘……..’
In an apocalyptic moment, she realized that Frey’s body, which had begun to shine brightly while wearing the warrior’s armor, was in perfect condition.
‘You finally did it.’
I thought with a smile brighter than ever.
‘Because I thought you would defeat me perfectly.’
Although the pain in my heart was gradually spreading throughout my body, my expression was distorted with pain.
‘Now, it’s a happy ending.’
The smile that appeared in her mind did not disappear until the moment when Ruby’s consciousness disappeared.
‘So goodbye.’
That it was already the last moment of episode 1, which has been repeated over and over again, just to move on to round 2.
‘my love.’
Until the end, it was because Ruby did not know.
A world where only the demon king and the hero remain – End
