Alright, ladies and gentlemen, eyes over here. This is the special premium-release event: One Hundred Compatibility Questions for Rean and Olga. Though because of length, it might only end up being a few dozen.
What? You're asking why there's no "married couple" in the title? Because the author got threatened at swordpoint by those two inhuman monsters and wasn't allowed to add it, so it got cut.
Author: Alright, let's officially begin! Rean, Olga, are you two ready? If you are, could you please take the swords off my neck?
Rean & Olga: They silently lowered their swords and spoke in unison. Ask anything weird and you're dead!
Q01: Your honored names?
Rean: You seriously don't know our names? (slightly annoyed)
Author: Don't blame me, I found these questions online. (guilty)
Q02: Age?
Olga: (turns her head and whistles)
Rean: Hey, say it already! Don't tell me you're some several-hundred-year-old old hag too!
Author: Don't talk about her like that. Your age doesn't seem that small either. According to the setting, you are—
Rean: (draws sword)
Author: Alright, alright, you win. We'll skip this one.
Q03: What are your personalities like?
Rean: Actually, in daily life, I'm a very refined and easygoing person...
Olga: Oh, wow, wow, wow...
Rean: What, you got a problem with that?
Olga: You? Refined and easygoing? You think you qualify?
Rean: Oh, and you're so great? All you do all day is argue with me or hit me!
Olga: Why are you yelling so loud?! Wasn't it you who made me mad first?!
The author silently threw out Q04: Gender. This was for the meaningful continuation of the program.
Q05: What is the other person's personality like?
Author: For the sake of my personal safety, please put away all weapons. Also swear not to use any force, including magic. Alright, now swear to the covenant!
Rean: What covenant?! Is this even the right set anymore?!
Olga: (grabs Rean's hand with a cold laugh and raises it together with hers) We swear to the covenant... Alright, answer the question.
Rean: (his face turning pale) Isn't this question basically meant to start a war...?
Author: You swore not to use force!
Rean: (irritated) What's even the point of this question? It's not like you couldn't tell what kind of personality she has just now. She's impatient, violent, unreasonable, and always makes me take the blame... But it's not like she has no good points, alright?! She's gentle, has a strong sense of justice, and she's tolerant of me. She's willing to stay by my side and all that!
Olga: (going from angry to shy, blushing)
Author: From that move alone, I can feel Rean's overwhelming survival instinct... Alright, Olga, your turn.
Olga: Eh, it's already my turn...? Um, how do I put this... Rean is very smart. He acts tough, but he's actually very kind, and he's thoughtful too... But that doesn't mean I won't still get the urge to cut him down with one swing when he teases me!
The author and Rean exchanged glances and smiled at each other.
Q06: When and where did you first meet?
Rean: Upstairs from my place. Less than half an hour after I ascended the throne as the Seventh Demon King. (his smile gradually fades)...
Author: Looks like that brought back some very bad memories.
Q07: What was your first impression of the other person?
Rean: A short-tempered angel. The kind who draws her sword and slashes the moment your eyes meet... Of course, first impressions can change over time. Right now she's... yeah, I think she's fine. At least being around her isn't nearly as exhausting anymore.
Olga: An arrogant Demon King who loved putting on airs. But I agree with him. Impressions change through understanding. Once you spend enough time together, you start to see his good points... and the cute side of him too... It's nothing! You heard nothing!
Rean: (awkward) Even if you say that... maybe watch your mouth a little in situations like this...
Author: Damn, I'm suddenly getting the urge to quit.
Q08: What do you like about the other person?
Olga: Isn't this question kind of suspicious?!
Rean: Quite a lot, actually. Her tolerant personality, her gentle eyes, the warmth of her hand when she holds mine, mmph mmph mmph!
Olga: (firmly covering Rean's mouth) And you were telling me to watch my mouth! You're the one who needs some restraint! Skip this question! Skip it! No need to answer!
Author: Alright then. Olga likes everything about Rean, so there's no need for an answer.
Olga: That's not true!
Q09: What do you dislike about the other person... Skip, skip! This one will really start a war!
Q10: Do you think you get along well with each other?
Rean: I already said that just now. We get along very well now.
Olga: (nods) I'm still not fully used to it, but I'm trying to adapt to being in a lover-type relationship.
Q12: How would you like the other person to address you?
Rean: Just my name is fine.
Olga: Same as him.
Author: Why are you two so cowardly? Next volume, I'm making you call each other "sweetheart"...
Rean & Olga: (draw swords at the same time)
Author: I was joking, I was joking, please don't get so worked up. (voice trembling)
Q13: If you had to compare the other person to an animal, what would they be?
Rean: Her? I think she'd be a bird.
Author: That's a pretty unusual comparison... Why a bird?
Rean: Because she's as fierce as Tias— I mean, because she's like a free bird, straightforward and true to herself.
Author: You came up with that correction pretty fast... Whatever. Your turn, Olga.
Olga: My turn again... I think Rean is more like a cat.
Rean & Author: (both choke at the same time)
Olga: He always looks down on people, but once he gets close to someone, he gets really clingy and loves acting spoiled. And he's super attached. You can't shake him off no matter what. Not that I'm saying that's bad, but I still wish he'd show a little restraint.
Author: Hear that? That's what she said about you. (clearly enjoying the chaos)
Rean: Once we get home, I may need to do something to remind her that I'm the predator...
Q14: If you were giving the other person a gift, what would it be?
Rean: I've already given her my first gift. It was a hair accessory. Unfortunately, it happened to be the same as one she'd bought herself.
Olga: Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever actually given Rean a gift...
Author: How about giving yourself as the gift? Wrapped in ribbon, the kind you can undo with one pull— ah! (gets knocked over)
Olga: I guess I'd give him some books about magic. He likes that kind of thing.
Rean: Honestly, I was thinking his suggestion wasn't bad either... as a joke, I mean.
Q15: Then what would you like the other person to give you?
Rean: That suggestion just now was actually pretty good.
Olga: Anything is fine. I'm not picky. Also, the one upstairs can wait until we get home to die.
Q16: Do you have anything you're dissatisfied with about the other person... Same as question nine. Bringing it up would start a war.
Q17: Do you have any particular quirks?
Rean & Olga: Refuse to self-report.
Q18: What quirks does the other person have?
Olga: An alchemy maniac and a shameless show-off.
Rean: A glutton and a shopping addict.
Rean & Olga: (turn to each other at the same time) Hey!
Author: So you won't expose yourselves, but you'll sell each other out without hesitation... That's way too real.
Q19: What could the other person do that would make you dislike them?
Rean: Nothing so far, so I don't dislike her.
Olga: (shyly) Same here...
Q20: What could you do that the other person would dislike?
Rean & Olga: The last question already answered that.
Q21: How far has your relationship progressed?
Author: You two insisted I couldn't add "married couple," so this is making things difficult for me.
Rean: Because we aren't one. Right now, we're lovers.
Olga: Contract lovers. (corrects him)
Rean: Contract lovers who hug every day. (corrects her again)
Q22: Where was your first date?
Rean: The old district of Liutan in the Royal Capital.
Q23: What was the atmosphere like then? Female answer only.
Olga: I was really shy, and before we'd even properly started walking around, we got dragged into trouble. But in the end, we still spent a happy stretch of time together. (blushing)
Rean: And then, right when I wanted to keep going, she sold me out.
Q24: How far had things progressed at that point?
Olga: Hugging.
Rean: But when she hugged me, she almost snapped my waist in half.
Olga: That's because you had that stupid grin on your face and it was annoying!
Rean: But you don't do that now. (meaningful look)
Olga: I-I know already! We'll talk about it later! (flustered and shy)
Author: Thank you so much for not making everyone third-wheel on the spot.
Q25: Where do you usually go on dates?
Rean: That was our first and only date so far.
Q26: What would you prepare for the other person's birthday?
Olga: (smiling) How many more questions are related to age? Can we just throw them all out at once?
Author: I'll do my best...
Q27: Who confessed first?
Olga: He did.
Rean: (sullen) Yeah, it was me first. But she was the one who started flirting with me!
Olga: I did not, I have not, stop making things up!
Q28: How much do you like the other person...
Q29: Then do you love the other person...
Author: I'm telling you, there's no way these two little brats are going to answer that.
Q30: What could the other person say that would leave you helpless?
Rean & Olga: When they act spoiled... When have I ever acted spoiled toward you... Stop playing dumb!
Author: Perfectly. In. Sync.
Q31: If you suspected the other person of having a change of heart, what would you do?
Olga: Break his legs. (instant answer)
Rean: ...Kill the one I got cheated on with. Also, before that, why are you assuming I'd be the one to change my heart?
Olga: And why are you answering on the premise that I'd be the one to change mine? (half annoyed)
Author: I think the answers to those two skipped questions are pretty obvious now.
Q32: Could you forgive the other person for having a change of heart?
Rean & Olga: See above.
Q33: If the other person was over an hour late for a date, what would you do?
Olga: We live together. Being late isn't really a thing.
Q34: What part of the other person's body do you like most?
Olga: Driver! Don't suddenly speed up like that!
Rean: If I have to pick a body part, then her thighs.
Author: As expected of His Majesty the Demon King. Truly honest about his desires. A role model for our generation.
Rean: You're too kind. It's just that sleeping on her thighs makes me feel really at ease. I don't even have nightmares.
Olga: But if it goes on too long, my legs go numb! And next time, let me hold your hand while I sleep too!
Rean: ...
Olga: W-wait, no, I was just using that as an example! It's not like I actually want to hold your hand while sleeping!
Rean: I was just about to say that was fine...
Olga: Oh...
Author: Seriously, can you two save the flirting for when you get home?! Alright! That concludes phase one of the One Hundred Questions! Time for the intermission!
