How on earth did it come to this?
“Why do you keep avoiding me...”
Was it because I became the first friend of the Hero who'd been shunned by everyone?
“If you made me like this... you have to take responsibility.”
Was it because I helped the Hero—who was meant to slay the Demon King—regain her confidence when she was feeling so down in the dumps?
“Always chasing after those girls...”
Was it because I stepped in to help the heroines whenever she couldn't?
“You're the one who went after them first...”
Or maybe because I freed her from the family that had been using her like a puppet?
Before I knew it, she was right there in front of me, shoving me down onto the bed.
“Once I defeat the Demon King, I'll be the first in line.”
For some reason, those last words didn't feel like they were meant for me.
The Hero—no, she—flashed a mischievous, impish grin and said,
“So go ahead and get excited. This Hero is declaring she'll take you as her husband.”
...Please, spare me.
