TN: Time for a new chapter.

I’ll start uploading regularly, the schedule will be 5ch/week (can be less/more depending on my uni schedule). Enjoy♪~

“All right. If I can, I’ll help you.”

That’s right. There is no other answer for me.

I don’t want the world to be destroyed because of me.

I’m also responsible for reducing the power of Demiurge, which has been protecting the World Tree until now.

I’m not so irresponsible as to say no here.

I’ve been playing the role of the hated one for a long time, but I still have that level of common sense.

Here, I should cooperate with Demiurge【 The World Tree Project 】.

“Umu, so even though you lost your memory, you did not forget your love for me. I never thought I would receive such an immediate answer before such an important event. Umu-umu, after all, you are the man I expected you to be.”

“O-Ou.”

I couldn’t help but feel my face heat up when he looked at me with such straightforward affection.

Because, you know, Demiurge is quite a beauty, right?

And she is a former creator god and former demon god.

Anyone would be embarrassed to receive an honest compliment from such a girl (in appearance only).

“Fufu, this is our first joint effort as a couple. For now, let’s work together for the seeds of this world tree… and in the future, let’s work together… to raise our babies.”

…O-Oi, the way you say it. What is the joint work of husband and wife…

In Demiurge’s mind, we’re already talking as if we’re a married couple.

Moreover, she assumed that we will have a child.

However, I have some doubts.

“H-Hey, Demiurge. Yesterday you were trying to have sex with me but… Can we have a baby?”

“Umu, we can. After all, the basic structure of my body and my husband’s body is the same. However, I have a core, which is the source of my power, but my other functions are not so different from those of humans. So, if you have sex with me, you will be able to conceive a child, so don’t worry about having an affair.”

“R-Really…?”

“Well, I’ll have to wait for husband to make up his mind before we can have babies… I don’t want to rush my husband and make him hate me. I’ll wait a little longer. Besides, I want to be loved by husband who loves me… I’m willing to endure some hardship for that purpose.”

Gosh…

What can I say? Demiurge’s direct affection hurt my heart.

In the face of her trusting affection, I postponed my conclusion.

Will I accept her existence or not?

I still can’t answer that question.

But Demiurge says she’ll wait for me.

I’ve made her wait for two years now, and yet she still wants to wait…

I feel ashamed of my indecisiveness, but still, this answer doesn’t seem to be something I can give so easily.

I need to get the right answer in my mind.

But I can’t take too much time.

As soon as possible, I need to get an answer to Demiurge’s feelings. That’s what’s best for me and what’s best for her.

“Now, husband, it’s time for you to gather mana with me…”

*Gruuu~~~~~~……*

“My my, husband.”

“No, wait. Wait a minute.”

No, no, no, wait a minute. My stomach!

Right after I’ve made up my mind to save the world by growing the world tree, suddenly it rings?

Maybe you should read the situation a little more carefully and wait until you’ve finished your work before ringing! There’s something to be said for the atmosphere!

“Fufu…”

She’s laughing at me!

“Ugh…”

I turned my head away in embarrassment.

However, Demiurge smiled at me and quietly approached me.

“I forgot that humans must have something in their stomachs to keep them going. As long as I have mana in my body, I can sustain myself, so forgive me for forgetting. Besides, I’ve been asleep for two years, it’s only natural that a human being would be hungry, so let’s eat first, shall we?

“Sorry.”

“Don’t apologize, your hunger is a normal human response… It proves that you are alive and well, and there is no shame in that.”

“Sor… no, thank you, Demiurge.”

“Umu, that’s good.”

I almost bowed my head, but stopped myself just in time.

It’s more important to be grateful than to be sorry for the concern.

“Follow me. There’s some fruit in the back here that even husband would have no problem eating.”

And with that, Demiurge started walking again, leading me.

We walked down the hill where the seeds of the world tree were, through the flower garden, and into the forest.

It took an opposite direction from where I had woken up, and slowly made my way through the forest.

After following Demiurge for a while, weaving through the gaps between the giant trees, I came to a large spring.

A group of trees and shrubs, much smaller than the surrounding giant trees, surrounded the spring.

“This is… I can’t believe there are so many trees growing here when there should be little sunlight reaching them.”

In addition, the branches were covered with magnificent white berries.

It’s about the size of my fist.

But this is…

“Even husband can eat this fruit, can’t he? In case my husband wakes up, I’ve checked all the plants in the forest that are harmless to humans. I thought husband would like this fruit, as it tastes very good.”

“Ah, Aahh… Thank you, Demiurge. But this…”

I picked up a handful of fruit and muttered, “I knew it.”

“This is【 Holy Apple 】, isn’t it? I never thought I’d see it here.”

I opened my eyes slightly and stared at the white fruit in my hand, which was not as rare as the seeds of the world tree.
