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

Holy Apple

I used the power I got from【 Appraiser 】class to examine the fruit.

 

It’s definitely a Holy Apple, just as I had guessed.

 

The white shiny skin is much heavier than it looks.
And the unique patterns floating in the gloss.

 

These characteristics are proof that it is indeed a Holy Apple.

 

【 Appraiser 】is a class that allows you to detect the authenticity of things, or to gain visual information about the things you see.

 

It’s a very useful ability, which is why it’s hired exclusively by large merchants and valued by royalty and nobility.

 

The first class that I got as a hero was also【 Appraiser 】.

 

In my travels, I was often forced to survive, and thanks to the power of this job, I was able to save myself in many situations.

 

After all, there’s no such thing as accidentally ingesting a poisonous plant.

 

In addition, when buying weapons and armor, there is no need to worry about getting inferior products.

 

Also, it can even acquire information about demons within its vision, making it almost universal.

 

The only thing is that, perhaps because the goddess set it up that way, it can’t display its power against humans.

 

Therefore, the correct evaluation is not【 All-Powerful 】, but【 Almost All-Powerful 】.

 

“Hee, that’s what this fruit is called.
This was once the staple food of the Elves who lived here.
There are their ruins near here, and this tree grew there too.”

 

“I see.”

 

Holy Apple is a rare commodity that rarely appears on the market.

 

It can be stored for a long time even when it is taken from the tree, and a bite of it can completely restore your strength and detoxify your body.
It also has the effect of temporarily strengthening the body.
And has the effect of gaining the holy attribute, hence the name.

 

I’ve heard that they are rarely found in dungeons, deep caves, or ruins, but I’ve never heard of anyone seeing a Holy Apple in the wild.

 

I’ve only seen them a few times in my life.

 

One of these is probably worth enough to keep me occupied for a month.

 

If I could take the Holy Apple here to the capital, I could make enough money to build a palace in a prime location in the noble district.

 

“Don’t look so glum, husband.
Why don’t you try some?”

 

“Ah, yes.”

 

Normally, it would not be easy to eat such a high-quality product, but there are so many Holy Apples here that the market is about to crash.

 

It’s all you can eat.

 

“Well then… amu.”

 

When I bit into it, I heard a fresh crunching sound, and the juice came pouring out from inside.

 

To put it mildly, it was quite delicious.

 

I gobbled it up, forgetting that it’s luxury food.

 

The skin was thin and the fruit was packed tightly inside.

 

I can’t eat the seeds near the center, but I can still eat everything but the seeds and the stump.

 

“Fufu, I’m glad you like it… then, I’ll have one too…”

 

With that, she gently plucked a Holy Apple from the tree, opened her small mouth, and began to eat it.

 

“Umu, still delicious.”

 

I couldn’t help but stop eating and admire Demiurge as she ate with such elegance.

 

But when Demiurge noticed my gaze, she turned her head to me and said, “What?”

 

“What is it? You don’t need to eat anymore, do you?”

 

“Eh? Aa, no…”

 

“ ? ? ”

 

There was no way I could say that I was admiring the way she was eating the Holy Apple, so I slumped.

 

Demiurge tilted her head at me.

 

Th-This is not good.
If I panic here, Demiurge will call me cute again!

 

I’ll try to divert the topic somehow.

 

“B-By the way, Demiurge can eat something too.
Didn’t you say earlier that as long as you have mana, you don’t need to eat?”

 

“Muu, aah, I see, I see.
So that’s what you were wondering.”

 

Okay, safe!

 

Successfully changed the subject!

 

“A-Ahh.
Actually, yes.”

 

“Umu, I certainly don’t need to eat, but I do have a sense of taste.
Hence, food is not an act of living for me, but a hobby.
This was the only pleasure I had before I met husband.”

 

“So that’s how it is.”

 

I nodded, satisfied with her answer.

 

If so, then eating is the only thing that she can do.

 

If that’s the case, it’s not surprising that eating became a hobby.

 

“But now I have a new pleasure, how to ensnare husband.
Please don’t ever let me get bored with you, husband♪.”

 

“Ah, oi!”

 

As soon as I said that, Demiurge slipped against me and hugged me tightly.

 

She looked up at me from below and had a mischievous smile on her face.

 

“Hey, you’re close.”

 

“That’s fine, we are a married couple.
I don’t think this is anything to be concerned about… also.”

 

“ ? ”

 

Wh-What is it? Demiurge suddenly smiled at me… 

 

While I had a question mark on my head, Demiurge stood on her tiptoes and brought her face closer to mine.

 

“You’ve got a chip on the edge of your mouth, my husband.
This………… mm, chu~.”

 

“―――?!”

 

Immediately, Demiurge licked the edge of my lips.

 

“Wha?! Hey, Demiurge!”

 

“Fufu…”

 

She showed me a piece of Holy Apple on her tongue, and she put it in her mouth and swallowed it.

 

The sight was so sensational that my heart thumped and my face heated up as the blood flowed faster.

 

Naturally, my whole face turned bright red and even my ears became hot.

 

“Fufu, this is enough to make you blush.
You’re so cute.”

 

“……give me a break.”

 

In the end, I was once again given the infamous reputation of being cute by Demiurge.
