If you're down for a bit of sads, how about Guild!MC jokingly made a bet with Ulbert for Demiurge's hand in marriage and Demi remembered but she didn't?
A/N: So many intriguing ideas for this one... X3 I love the thought of it. So full of angst and miscommunication! ♥
“Marriage for NPCs aren't a thing,” Demiurge recalled his Creator saying to her.
“Yeah? But the devs could implement it at some point! I mean, c'mon! They just allowed for player characters to marry one another, and for Guild NPCs to be allowed into dungeons.” She smirked. “You know it's coming.”
Ulbert stifled a laugh. “Fine then. If you lose this PVP fight, you'll have to marry my creation then. And don't divorce him either. You have to stay married to him. How does that sound?”
“Don't threaten me with a good time,” she joked.
That was seemingly so long ago.
Regardless, Demiurge recalled it all perfectly. But, nothing seemed to come of it. Whether that was because of these 'devs' or because of other reasons, Demiurge wasn't sure.
Now that he had his own voice, he felt he could bring it up to her. Find the moment to ask.
Maybe she could easily explain a few things. She seemed to be excited about the thought before...
The moment she showed up, the devil bowed. “My Lady, I was wondering if you could spare me a moment of your time?”
“Sure,” she said with a smile. “What do you need, Demi?”
He fixed his tie, wondering how to properly bring up the past that only he seemed to be focusing on. “Mm, I was curious—do you recall the moment Lord Ulbert asked you to marry me?”
The expression she made alone prompted the devil to nearly panic. It was mostly confusion, as though he was making it up.
“Marry you...?” She tried to recall what he was even talking about. It didn't help her memory was always garbage to begin with. Something somebody just told her could easily go in one ear and then out the other. “I'm.. I'm afraid I don't remember anything like that.”
Demiurge's chest tightened. That wasn't the answer he was hoping for...
“Are you certain? You were told to do so if you lost in a PVP match of some sort. Did you actually win that?”
“PVP match?” Again, she tried to remember what it was Demiurge was even talking about. “There were always so many of those, Demi. You'd have to be more specific.”
“What about the marriage to NPCs?” He was grabbing ant anything he could, trying to hope it wasn't just some dream of his.
She shrugged. “I mean, we could marry other players, but there was never any talk about marriage to an NPC.” She laughed. “I wouldn't doubt I was hoping for it, as I am such a weirdo with people in game. I wanted something that wouldn't mind my crazy ass.”
Hearing her say such things, Demiurge stifled a sound of upset. “So you don't remember the talk at all...?”
She shook her head. “I'm sorry. Maybe you're just remembering it wrong?”
That thought hurt him worse than anything. He wanted to believe he had the most brilliant mind in all of Nazarick. To have a Supreme Being say he might be misremembering something was painful.
Seeing the agony on his face, she gently rubbed his upper arm. “Hey, don't get so upset. We all have memory problems now and again. Goodness knows I'm awful at it myself. You could tell me something right now, and I'm sure I'd forget it in a few seconds.”
He wasn't sure what to say to that. The devil merely nodded.
“Anyways, glad we could have this chat. I'll catch you later, okay?” And with that, she continued onward through the tomb's halls.
She doesn't remember... Demiurge thought, pain striking his dead heart. It's as though someone stole her memories on purpose... He looked down at the floor, shaking his head. But who would do such a thing?

I'm still here, waiting for the ENG release of Kamigami no Asobi. It's already been ported to the switch in Japan, I hope this means they'll eventually translate it. Please I've been waiting for eons, give it to us already 😩
