Okay, so Im bad at cooking and cleaning.

L, like this?

No, idiot hero.

H, hmph! I dont need to be good at needlework!

Th, this way?

Idiot hero.

Who knew knitting would be such dangerous work

Th, then like this?

Idiot.

Im an idiot

Sniffling in the corner, I looked back at my life so far.

With the goal of restoring my family, I didnt think of anything but the sword.

If I was short of money, I would hunt monster. And as for food, up till now, Id mostly have jerky or dried fruits.

The amazing thing was, Ive been travelling for several years, and I hadnt even tried grilling a steak let alone cooking.

It was at that time.

Really, I expected more from a hero, but it turns out you cant do a thing. I dont know what you wouldve done if it wasnt for being a hero.

That sarcastic voice. Even then, that tone of mischevious teasing.

B, being a hero is hard work!

Even I have some pride in my career(?) choice!

So, what does a hero do?

Hmph! A hero keeps the world at peace!

Yep, what can be more important than that? However, that evil demon king said something that should never have been said.

So, does that mean you become redundant if the worlds at peace?

WAAHHH!

Yes, Im useless if its peaceful! A pointless load who cant do housework that only knows how to swing a sword! As I started crying, that damn demon king tapped my shoulder, why the hell is he smiling so happily?

Its alright, even if I look like this Im good in the home.

So he says with a thumbs up. Wait a second, isnt there something wrong with this scenario?

Sniff, isnt it the woman that meant to be the homemaker?

Doesnt matter. But instead, the heros the one that provides for us, okay?

With what?

The hero doesnt know how to do anything, right? So earning money through monster hunting as always.

Stab.

A tiny little dagger just embedded itself into my heart.

Thats right, its not like I can do anything but that anyway.

Uuuuu So depressing

I put in so much effort in mastering the sword arts, and this is the end result! For real? Really? Did the heavens really not grant me any talents aside from being good with a sword?

Surrounded by my miserable aura, the demon king flinched, but quickly gave a (fake) smile and said,

Ha, ha ha! Its alright. Farming was the original plan so theres no need for money?

And I ruined that harvest.

The half ruined field of the demon king that I had destroyed a few days ago came to my mind.

Ahh, this is so depressing

Oi, its alright, you know?

Wh, what!

Its okay. The hero is the woman I chose, you know? So what if you cant do housework? So cute and lovable.

Fwwoooosh

Wha, wa, wh-wh-what are you doiiiiing!

The demon king whispered in my ear, cuddling me from behind. Th, this is charm magic! Th, thats right! It must be! O, otherwise my heart wouldnt be fluttering like this, wouldnt I?!

He is handsome though

How is that brightly smiling face so attra No, no!

D-dont cuddle me all of a sudden!

Embarrassed?

Wh, whos embarrassed! I just dont want someone evil like a demon king cuddling me!

Uuuu

Ah, hes sulking!

For a brief moment I flinched, looking at the demon king depressed by my words.

I, I havent done anything wrong? Really!

Uuuu.

I havent done anything Re, really

Ex, excuse me?

Uuu I am but an evil demon king

Ack! The situations getting worse!

Yes I am an evil demon king! Now to conquer the world!

Thats not it!

Why are you so motivated all of a sudden! You said yourself you couldnt be bothered with world conquest!

Why? I am an evil demon king, so world domination is a given.

Then, then what about me?

Why?

Are you serious?

That! Th, thats

How the hell do you expect me to say this!

Whyyy~?

He knows. Hes doing this even though he knows!

Y, you know?

Know what? I dont know?

That was not a face of ignorance or uncertainty. He was smiling in a way that screamed of course I know, after all!

Th, thats I, Im your woman

Not embarrassed. Absolutely not embarrassed at all. Yes, this was due to the contract! All because of the contract sworn on the Scales of the Chief God!

Re-really!

Oh?

With a smirk on his face, holding my hand, the demon king pulled me towards him.

I, I told you not to cuddle?

Then, do you want to go for world domination?

This evil man!

Hee hee, I dont care if Im evil~ Besides, youre mine? Whats wrong with me cuddling my woman?

At this demon king who was snuggling into me, looking pleased with himself. I really need to say something, but I couldnt find anything to say.

It, its not because Im embarrassed or anything!
