I Played the Role of a Hated Hero, but for Some Reason, I’m Loved by the Last Boss and Living With Her!

While chilling at a street vendor’s, me, Demiurge, and Behemoth were visiting the Adventurers’ Guild.

The purpose was not, of course, to receive a request.
It was to have lunch.

Walking with Behemoth, the beastman, and Demiurge, a small but extremely good-looking, we attracted a lot of attention, and since I had been hiding my face for a long time, I was quite conspicuous.

I’m sure I’m used to people giving me unreserved attention, but it’s exhausting…

I went into a coffee shop, sat down at a seat in the back, removed the cloth that was hiding my face, and finally relaxed my shoulders.

This is the Adventurers’ Guild.
A place where there are many people with a reason to be here.
Even so, some steal glances at us.
But compared to the outside, it was a much better place.

The peaceful atmosphere of the coffee shop also comforts my fatigue.

I kept worrying about whether Behemoth would get out of control for some reason or another.
Behemoth has a generally laid-back personality, but you never know when the switch is going to be flipped.
She has a history of antagonism with humans, so you can never be too careful.

And the situation of two beautiful women with me is also putting a mental strain on me.

Thanks to this, my energy has been drained considerably in the last few hours… I managed to resist the desire to plop down on the desk right now…but I had all my weight on the back of the chair.

「Husband, are you all right? You seem strangely tired…」

「……All right…?」

「Ah, yeah.
I’m fine.
It’s been a while since I walked in a crowded place, so maybe I’m a little tired.」

No good no good.
Today I have to entertain these guys and deepen our intimacy.
Especially with Behemoth.
Besides, Demiurge is enjoying this as a date.
If I, the other party, am so blatantly tired, they won’t be able to enjoy the things they can enjoy.

I had to be more firm.

「―――I’m sorry to keep you waiting~」

The waitress brought us the food we had ordered.
It seems that in addition to the guild employees, several people work as café staff in this adventurers’ guild.
The woman who had just brought us our food was one of them.

After saying,「Please take your time」, she bowed and left.

On the table, there is a soup filled with vegetables, sautéed chicken meat covered with spices, and bread.
This is the first time since I woke up in the elven forest that I have eaten food prepared by someone else.
I can’t help but drool in my mouth.

In the forest, I was always the one who prepared the food, which is not really called cooking.
If I had the facilities, I could use my class as a『Chef』to cook something reasonable, but in the current environment, I can’t even hope to do that.
At the very least, if I had all the cooking utensils, I could do the bare minimum.
I would like to prepare as soon as possible.

However, that’s not what I came here for, so I’m not going to force myself to go to the store today.

I shift my gaze from the food to Behemoth.
She was staring at the dishes on the table and drooling out of the corner of her mouth.
Demiurge is watching her with a smile on her face.
To all intents and purposes, Behemoth is more developed than Demiurge, but Demiurge looks older, perhaps because she is calmer.
No, in fact, she is much older than her…

Normally, these women do not need to eat, but eating itself has become a kind of hobby for them.
They have a sense of taste, they even have a sense of smell.
They feel happy when they eat good food, and discomfort when they eat bad food.
Nothing different from human beings.

I reached for my knife and fork to enjoy a decent meal for the first time in a while.

But then, I suddenly thought of something.

I wonder if they can eat here properly.

They are always gnawing on dried meat and fruit with their hands, a dining scene that is far from civilized.

Even so, Demiurge does not give the impression of being vulgar because of her neat appearance as she eats her meals.
However, when Behemoth next to Demiurge eats, she eats wildly and gobbles up the food.

I kept a knife and fork in my hand and observed how they started eating.

Then…unexpected results were revealed.

「Mmmm…delicious…!」

「Mmmm……nn~……ah!」

To my surprise, Behemoth, though by no means dexterous, used the knife, fork, and accompanying spoon well enough to eat.

Demiurge, on the other hand, stabbed the knife into the chicken and tried to bring it straight to her mouth, or scooped up the soup with his fork, and handled the tableware quite wrongly.

「Mmmm~……it’s hard to eat…husband, why must I eat with such utensils?」

Demiurge was frustrated that her meal did not go as smoothly as she would have liked.
Next to her, Behemoth steadily emptied her plate.
Spilled food was strewn all over the table, but it wasn’t as miserable a sight as I had expected.

「I’d rather just grab a handful of food…」

I rushed to stop her barbaric behavior as I heard suspicious words coming out from Demiurge.

「Wait wait.」

There’s too much of a gap between your appearance and the way you grab the food.
Even though you have silver hair and purple eyes, I don’t feel comfortable with the added element of attracting the eye(in a bad way).

「If it’s too hard for you to eat, I’ll feed you…」

I cut up a piece of chicken with my knife and fork and gently held it out in front of Demiurge.

「Here.」

「Oh, thank you, husband! Then…amu…delicious.」

Demiurge’s expression, which had been wrinkled between the eyebrows earlier, quickly changes into the form of a smile.
Snatching a piece of chicken from the fork and putting it in her mouth, she gives me a full smile of an even higher power.

「Fufufu…Husband gave me an ahhh~…… Husband, I want some more!」

「Yes yes.」

Okay.
Now it seems we were doing something unintentionally lovers-like.
Even in the forest, Demiurge loves this act of feeding each other.
This time, it was a one-way move on my part, but even so, the Demiurge seemed to be in a very good mood.
I couldn’t help but relax my mouth as well.

However, considering the future, it would be better for Demiurge to learn the manners of eating and how to handle the tableware.

As I was feeding Demiurge like a parent bird, I noticed Behemoth looking at me.

The red eyes, which are only half open, have an unhappy color in them, as if you could hear the sound「Jito~」.

「Not fair…that the Lord is the only one!」

She leaned forward and held out a knife and fork to me.

「No, you’re eating just fine.
Demia seems to be having a hard time eating right now…」

「Mumu~~……」

Her cheeks are puffed out and her tail, visible from her waist where she raised from the chair, is vigorously swaying from side to side.

Behemoth’s blatant appeal for my attention.
I hesitated for a moment, but then I realized that, considering the purpose of my visit to town today, it would only be a negative thing to treat her badly here.

「No choice.
Look, don’t be so puffed up…here.」

I brought my almost untouched meal up to Behemoth’s mouth.

「Mmmm~……thanks……! Hmm……mmm, mmm……hooah~……」

Then Behemoth’s eyes narrowed even more, and her tail, which had been swaying, stood straight up.
I have heard that when a cat-animal is in a good mood, its tail stands up.
In other words, she is in a pretty good mood right now.

「……Can’t help it, you……」

I looked at Demiurge, and she looked a little grumpy this time.
I quickly bring Demiurge a meal.
So she smiles at me again…but my clothes are tugged…and Behemoth’s urging「more…」.

I continued to bring the food to their mouths, alternating between Demiurge and Behemoth.
If the weight of the food was more or less on one of them, they would frown, so I took turns and treated them both equally, without excess or deficiency.

I can’t eat at all…

It’s the first human meal I’ve had in a long time, and I can’t get enough of it.

And yet, I can’t get any…

「Mufufu…」

「Muhu…」

In front of the sight of the two beautiful women with their lovely, relaxed expressions on their faces, I think,「Oh well.」

It was hard work, but it was much better than being in the middle of a tense situation, and I was enjoying the time I was spending with them, feeling a bit disappointed in myself.

But the sight of me feeding the two of them seemed to have attracted a lot of attention in the guild, and when the guild master showed up as I was leaving, she said to me,

「Please don’t make out in the restaurant.
If you are too much in the future, I will beat you up♪」

I had to be warned with a smiling face, quite embarrassing.
