When I Fell Madly in Love With the Heroine, the World Changed. - Chapter 11

—“I’m going to kill you.”

She said as she looked at me cold eyes.

“Just kidding, don’t kill me.”

“Kenya is so strange, what’s so good about someone like me…”

Kaguya puts her hands on her chest.

In the setting, she was supposed to be a girl with a complex about her small breasts.

So I said with a kind look on my face.

“Small breasts are a status. I like small breasts too.”

How’s that, a man who can gently cover up a complex.

This acceptance made Kaguya also.. that? Kaguya-san?

There was no pretty girl there, blushing with embarrassment.

Like a volcano, like burning magma, she was trembling.

Kenya Mitsurugi, 16 years old.

Has never had a girlfriend in his life, and only has a limited knowledge of how to deal with women.

So then he can get it a little wrong, to the point where he thinks that teasing physical features is a form of communicating.

“I-I’ll kill you!”

Boom!Boom!Boom!

From this day on, Kenya decided never to mention Kaguya’s breasts ever again.

***

“Erm. So the curry is ready.”

Kenya serves curry with a big bump on his head.

He was firmly hit by Kaguya’s flying knee kick, but it’s a reward for him.

It’s called skinship, or embarrassment.

“Thank you …”

Kaguya receives the curry and they sit together at a small desk.

“Why are you in army Kaguya?”

Kenya asks Kaguya over dinner.

The reason I invited Kaguya here today was to talk about that.

Though, I never thought I’d bring her in here in my room.

I never thought of it…. It’s a lie, I thought of it for a bit.

“.. That’s, for a purpose… maybe.”

I know.

I also know that this objective is to act as a resistance.

“… because you want revenge against the Empire?”

When Kenya says this, she looks surprised momentarily and looks at him.

“It’s okay, I’m on your side.”

I hate the empire, but as long as I belong to the army, I have to obey.

Even though we are the same Japanese, we shouldn’t just say that we want to take revenge on the Empire.

They can either join an organisation and kill themselves, or they can join no organisation and keep themselves alive by living as a slave.

You can choose only one.

But Kenya knows.

Kenya also knows that there are still many terrorist groups in this country that call for Japan’s independence.

He also knows that the daughter of the head of the largest group, Amaterasu, is Kaguya.

“.. What your story, Kenya?”

Kaguya asks Kenya.

“Someone I care about was killed.”

–he’s not lying, and if he keeps this up, it’s going to be true.

She looks at Kaguya with sad eyes.

One of the two people who led me to even come to this world, whom I have to protect.

If it’s to protect this girl, I’m ready to fight in this world.

A heroine who was in love with him so much.

Looking into her eyes, Kaguya looks down and is silent for a while.

Then, as if she had made up her mind, she raised her head.

“Do you want .. revenge?”

“Of course, if it’s possible.”

–Or, more correctly, I want to stop the war.

“… okay.”

Kaguya then speaks quietly.

“I want my country back. I want freedom.”

“May I ask why?”

“Because we can no longer ignore leave it as it is, of course, but my life is not mine alone. Because my brother’s soul is with me too. I want to fulfil that wish.”

“Your brother?”

“Yes. I had an elder brother. It’s a bit depressing, but… will you listen?”

“Yes, I will.”

And Kaguya starts talking.

Five years ago, just after the war ended.

The Japanese government collapsed and the war ended.

The country’s army was defeated and surrendered Asgar empire.

Japan fought a thorough war to the end.

However, the massive deployment of KOGs left the country helpless.

The Japanese were overwhelmingly outnumbered in terms of technology, and their national strength was more than ten times greater.

There was no way they could win in the first place.

The EU reversed its position at the last minute and broke the security treaty.

It did not provide armed support.

The Japanese Government did not surrender until the end, but in the end, it was defeated, left with no man (Army) to fight.

All military personnel were killed and the country was brought under control by Asgar rule.

“Now, let’s go and find some more fun today.”

“You like that, don’t you? Well, you’re free to go for a little while longer.”

Japan was not yet a functioning colony of the Asgar Empire.

The soldiers who occupied it there were rampaging as much as they liked.

“I can’t help it, you know. After all, forcing people to do things. Even if it’s a crime back home, it’s legal, or outlawed, here.”

His dirty teeth are yellowed by smoking, he does not shave and his hair is covered with dandruff.

His hobby is forcibly ra***g people in a defeated country, and very young ones at that.

***

“Kaguya! did you drink the water?”

“Yes! Big brother! A bucketful!”

The war was over, but the country no longer existed.

The siblings went to the river to fetch water for tomorrow’s survival.

“Is it heavy?”

“Heh, no problem! I’m ten already! Huh? Where’s Dad?”

“He’s looking for food. Let’s wait here for a bit.”

The area is a pile of rubble.

Looking around, some people have come to fetch water as well.

Two people sit on the rubble.

Gyulu …

“No, that wasn’t my tummy! Because it wasn’t!”

“Haha, you don’t have to hide it.”

Don’t hide it because you’re embarrassed.

Because my gentle brother is kind.

“Here you go, chocolate. Just a little bit, okay?”

He smiles gently and forces his share of chocolate.

“No, I don’t want it!”

“You idiot! You’ll never grow up that way!”

“I’m still growing ….hmm!”

The brother then forcibly stuffs the chocolate into Kaguya’s mouth.

“Is it good?”

“un, it’s delicious….”

“One day I’ll feed you a belly full of it.”

The older brother smiling kindly, the younger sister looks at him lovingly.

Every day is hard, but we still live together as a family.

If we support each other, grit our teeth and live, one day we will be happy.

“Big brother…”

“Hmm?”

“…Thank you.”

With only one loving and kind brother, Kaguya thought she could live through this hell.

“I found you.”

Unaware that a military man with a prickly smile was approaching.

***

“Kyaaaah!!!”

“Hehe. She’ s so cute. I like you very much.”

“No, stop!”

Kaguya is caught by the soldier and is about to be taken away.

Recently, military kidnappers have been targeting women.

“Get out of my way, kid, I’ll kill you.”

Her brother desperately tries to stop the soldier with his leg.

But the other man is a soldier.

There was no way a mere boy could win.

“Big brotherrrrr!”

He is beaten to a pulp and plunges to the ground.

“Come on, let’s go. Let’s have fun with Uncle. Until you die. Heh heh heh!”

“No, nooo, Leave me …”

Asgar soldier forcibly seize Kaguya, who is trembling.

“Gugu, let go of Kaguya!”

The brother stands up again, coughing up blood..

“Hah… it’s a pain in the ass, just Die already.”

The sound of gunfire, dry and echoing in the debris wilderness.

“Huh?”

Blood flows from my brother’s stomach.

“That’s what happens when you resist, you little shit… oops.”

Kaguya rampages wildly and gets out of the soldier’s hands.

She runs to her brother.

“Big brotherr!”

“Kaguya, get away…”

“No, no, noo!”

“RUN… gohoho… !(coughing up blood.)”

“So, You’re Kaguya-chan, huh? Come on, let’s go, Uncle will give so much pleasure.”

But one man heard the sound of gunshot and came running.

“Kaguyaaaa!!!”

Kaguya’s father, Isshin.

He was one of the few survivors of the Japanese army and had fought through many battles as a lieutenant general.

“Guhh?”

In an instant, he overpowers a soldier of the Asgar Empire, pulls out the knife from his waist and slits his throat.

The soldier died, unable to even raise his voice in the split second.

“….Takashi!”

Isshin approached his son and looked at the wound.

The amount of blood loss indicates that the wound is already fatal, and immediate treatment might save a life.

However, there is no place in this country now where such an operation can be carried out.

Besides, it is not possible to run away carrying a dying man who is already an adult in size.

Because right afterwards, some soldiers’ voices were heard in the distance.

“Hey! I heard gunfire over here!”

Some Imperial soldiers already heard the commotion in the distance.

When Isshin sees them, he closes his eyes tightly to make a decision.

He has to make a decision, if he doesn’t, he will be killed with along with his only Daughter left.

Therefore.

“….Takashi, I’m sorry. It’s because i left you…”

“No, it’s not your fault. Without food, we’ll just starve to death…”

It must be extremely painful.

Even so, the brother laughs nobly and smiles at Kaguya so as not to worry her.

With all her might, Kaguya holds his hand tightly.

“Takashi, this is farewell. You protected your sister well. I am proud of you.”

“Of cource, I’m my father’s child, …. Now quickly take Kaguya and run away.”

The father then puts the knife in Takashi’s hand.

He grips his hand tightly and bursts into tears.

“I’m sorry, I love you!”

“What? Father? No! No!”

Isshin forcibly carries the resisting Kaguya.

“No, big brother! Big brother!”

He left the place as fast as he could.

Kaguya resisting being carried on his shoulder, his brother growing distant.

The last sight she saw was her brother holding up a knife.

“Haha, I see, It’s farewell, …I die protecting my sister. Well, that’s not so bad…”

Then some soldiers ran nearby.

They see a colleague with a knife in his neck, who is dying, and a boy with a bloodstained knife.

“Hey, did you do this?”

“Yeah, I did it alone. I killed the motherf****ng prick.”

“That’s pretty ballsy for a kid. You know what happens now, don’t you?”

“Ha! Don’t think you can have your way with everything, you invaders!”

The brother gripped the knife tightly.

The soldier sees this and understands, but it’s too late.

“?! Hey! Stop that guy!”

“Someday, Someone, We will take back this country, just wait and see! Bastards!”

“Stop him!”

–See you later, Kaguya. You live. Dad, I was proud to be your son too.

“Japan! Hurray!”

Then he stabbed himself in the chest with the knife and died.

The knife, which he held tightly, went straight through her brother’s heart.

“No! Brother, Wahhh!!!’

The last thing she saw was the knife extending straight out from her brother.

The girl’s plaintive screams fade away into a pile of rubble.

Such events were so common at that time.

Lives disappear like insects and there are no human rights.

The winners have gained everything and the losers have lost everything.

For the losers, this place was like hell.
