Osananajimi de Akuma na Kishi wa, Watashi no koto ga Daikirai

The childhood friend who turned into a demon knight now despises me more than ever. Suria, recently chosen as the kingdom’s newest protector, glares at me with undisguised hatred. Our once-close bond has shattered beyond repair, leaving only bitterness in its wake. Every glance from her feels like a blade cutting through old wounds. The warmth we once shared has been replaced by icy disdain, making even simple interactions unbearable. Despite her prestigious new role, she spares no kindness for me, treating me like a stranger—or worse, an enemy. Memories of laughter and shared secrets now seem like illusions from another lifetime. The distance between us grows wider with each passing day, fueled by unspoken resentments. I wonder if she even remembers the friendship we once cherished. Perhaps in her eyes, I’m nothing more than a painful reminder of the past. Whatever the reason, her contempt is undeniable, and it weighs heavily on my heart.
