Chapter 0 : Prologue

“Wait..! Saintess! If you take my hand, I’ll give you half the world..!”

“Don’t say such a cliché line—just die!!”

A grating, unpleasant voice like nails on glass.

Cover folded.

The Demon King…

Loves the saintess who killed him.

The massive body of the Demon King, made of dark magical energy, was lying sprawled beneath me.

I raised my mace with all my strength and, with the enhancement spell the female mage had cast on it, I smashed it down on the Demon

King’s head. A sickening sound echoed throughout the Demon King’s castle.

— Squelch!

Finally, the Demon King was dead. This was the moment that marked the end of our godforsaken three-year journey.

They say the Demon King always resurrects 100 years later, but who cares? I’ll be long dead by then.

“Fuuuuuck! That felt amazing!”

Drunk on the rush of adrenaline pumping through my head, I raised the mace still covered in the Demon King’s brain matter and shouted

with all my might.

Finally! We’re going home! We’re escaping this damned demon realm!

“You bastards! We did—”

As soon as I turned to look at my teammates, the adrenaline flooding my brain instantly dropped to rock bottom.

“Eris… when we get back… let’s get married…”

Oh great. Here we go.

Hero Alec was confessing his love to the female mage Eris in front of the Demon King’s corpse.

“Will you give me half of your remaining life?”

This is ridiculous. Seriously.

The warrior Carl was confessing his love to the female archer Sierra.

The ones being confessed to were crying tears of joy, hugging their partners and kissing passionately.

Guys… I killed the Demon King…

Can’t you see…?

Tears are streaming down my face too.

These are… tears of joy…

Definitely not because I’m jealous…
