At first, Mira thought she was here to save the world. She never expected it to be a collectible-card game.

When she started diligently filling out her collection, she joined the hero's party and finally realized it was a sandbox RPG.

Then her companions betrayed her, sending her tumbling into the depths of a dungeon, where she saw a scene straight out of the opening of a shoujo manga.

A breathtakingly beautiful young man lay on an altar, a battered sword embedded in his chest.

A ray of moonlight fell on him alone, making him look beautiful and fragile.

Mira said to her staff, "It's a call from fate. It's time to free this young man and start my romance route."

Then she grabbed the sword hilt and snapped it off. The rusty blade broke clean at the base...

Meanwhile, Victim A still opened his eyes slowly, exactly as the script dictated.

Mira reached out and closed them again. "Hey, friend, how about we reload and try that again?"

Note:

1. My take on Western fantasy, with lots of anime references. A slow-burn, silly story.

2. The male lead appears later. Shonen-manga-style plot focus. Mwah!

[Future Release: Let Go of That Random A]

On an ordinary midday, Ofina stepped out to bring lunch to her mother-in-law, only to hear some terrible news.

The Demon King, defeated ten years ago, had awakened once more and abducted the "Flower of the Empire," who had been inspecting the people's situation on behalf of the royal family, along with a dozen unlucky people who happened to be standing nearby.

Unfortunately, her new husband was one of those unlucky dozen...

After hearing the whole story, Ofina silently untied her apron, tucked a kitchen knife into her clothes, and went to say goodbye to her mother-in-law, preparing to head to the Demon King's castle to rescue her husband.

Her mother-in-law was horrified and tried desperately to stop her.

Ofina showed her the kitchen knife. "To tell you the truth, I'm the former hero who defeated the Demon King ten years ago."

Her mother-in-law, who had been widowed for many years, fell silent, then pulled off one of the table's strangely shaped legs.

Her mother-in-law gripped it like a staff. "What a coincidence. I'm the former Demon King who disappeared fifty years ago."

The Demon King slept for ten years. When he woke up, he found the world had gotten better again.

The hero who defeated him ten years ago had been killed by the Empire itself! How satisfying!

Just as he lounged on his throne, swirling a glass of red wine and happily preparing to enjoy the beauties he'd gathered, his subordinates stationed all over the world began wailing in agony.

Two crazy women were shouting, "Give me back my husband/son!" as they hacked their victims into mincemeat...

Before the Demon King could react, his castle's gates were kicked open by the mother and daughter-in-law together.

Under the combined stares of his archenemy and former boss, the Demon King immediately shoved the "Flower of the Empire" in his arms forward as a hostage.

During the standoff, the new head chef, who had gone from prisoner to trusted aide thanks to his excellent cooking, walked past with a platter and called out to his former boss, "Mom."

Demon King: ???
