When I Fell Madly in Love With the Heroine, the World Changed. - Chapter 17

—Two Irregulars

“Hi, I’m glad you’re here, Kenya-kun, and… Kaguya-kun and Reina-kun.”

Immediately afterwards, Kenya, and Kaguya kneeled.

Reina also lowers her head, as if bowing.

“I thought I told you that it wasn’t necessary on campus?”

The three of them looked up at these words.

Reina asks with a look of surprise on her face.

“Your Highness Rhode, why are you here?”

Even Reina, who is usually emotionless, was indeed agitated by this.

It was unusual for Rhode to appear alone without even an escort, even if it was inside the school.

“I heard some students were practising after school, so I came to see how you were doing. Don’t mind me, just carry on.”

“But…”

“Don’t worry, I’m just a bit curious. I don’t discriminate, just because you’re a second class. I’m of the principle that I’ll use what’s available.”

“Huh?”

Kaguya is surprised by these words.

Kaguya does not understand what those words mean.

I know that there are some Asgardians who are against discrimination.

They say it is inhumane, but they are all regulated and suppressed.

But the being in front of them now is the top of the empire.

He said that whether it was a second class or not, he would not discriminate against it if he could use it.

“A member of the royal family criticises the emperor?”

“Do you not believe a word I just said?”

Rhode then approached Kenya.

And held out his right hand.

“In your culture, it should be your right hand, shouldn’t it?”

What he asks for is a handshake.

Kenya understood this.

Kenya also knows Rhode’s persona form game.

He has an anti-discrimination philosophy that is unbecoming of a member of the royal family.

However, he performs his role as a member of the royal family and achieves remarkable results in wars.

Kenya didn’t know what he was like from the setting alone.

Nor does he know anything about his aims.

All he knows is that he is a formidable strategist.

“Would you regret holding that hand?”

“You’ll be the judge of that one day. Well, it’s a bloody hand, that’s all I can say.”

Rhode chuckles.

He knows there is more to that fearless smile than meets the eye.

However, Kenya holds his hand.

He does not know what taking this hand will lead to.

But to Kenya, Rhode didn’t seem like a bad guy.

In the game, he remains as a mysterious boy in the veil, and he doesn’t even know what kind of person he is.

But.

“I don’t know you yet, but I felt I had to take this hand.”

Intuition moves Kenya.

Hands clasped back, royalty and second class, ruler and slave.

Only one person knows the meaning of the hand that should never have been held.

But at this moment, fate had already been decided.

The fate of the battle that engulfed the world.

“Now that we’ve introduced ourselves, let me watch the game.”

“Yes, come in. Be my guest.”

….

Rhode watched the three of them practice for a while.

“Hey, hey. Kenya, I’m having a hard time!”

“I don’t have a choice! I can’t say I’m going home.”

The two of them are alone, and Kaguya and Kenya are conversing so that only the two of them can hear.

But after a while, Rhode stands up.

“I’ll leave you now for the day, sorry for the interruption.”

“Un, Okay.”

“Did he hear, by any chance? They’re not going to purge us! Right?”

Kaguya speaks in a whisper while bowing.

Rhode seems to have heard and laughs a little at that.

Then he leaves the simulator room as it is.

–After all, was he cutting corners at that time, his technical ability surpassing that of the Ice Princess? As I thought, he could have done that plan…

Rhode smiles fearlessly.

One of the rulers walked nimbly, alone down an empty corridor.

No one was there to hear the words of destruction that one of its world’s apexes mumbled in secret.

“To have this world.”

***

“What was that about?”

“Let’s just call it a day for now.”

“…couldn’t even reduce it by ten percent after all.”

Reina pouts in front of me.

She looks downcast and sad, and you can’t help but feel that gesture.

Pat. Pat

Kenya patted Reina on the head.

Because she seems to be very easy to get upset.

“You’re getting strong enough, you’ve only been doing this for two years. That’s tremendous already.”

Reina looks at Kenya from between her fingers with an upward glance.

In the previous worlds combined, Kenya has been doing this KOG for nearly six years.

He was honestly surprised at the strength of Reina, who had only been here for two years.

Only Kenya knows that.

“Really?”

“Kuu!”

Innocent eyes like a puppy’s, an upward glance that should have been unintentional.

Kenya, who unknowingly almost dies of a heart attack and suppresses his heart, people die of respect.

Kenya, an otaku at full throttle, looks at Reina and gets all dere-dere.

Kaguya sees this with pout.

—What are you flirting with her for! You said you liked me!

Kaguya becomes frustrated by Kenya flirting with other women.

She is already annoyed with Kenya, who is getting pampered not only by Reina but also by the other Japanese girls in her class and is getting dere-dere with them.

–-Why the hell is this pissing me off?

I get annoyed when I see him getting along with other womens.

It’s like.

–-Lies… Am I jealous?

I’ve noticed Kenya, who is still getting on well with Reina.

Th-This is jealousy.

“Kaguya? What’s wrong?”

“Huh! Of course not! Idiot!”

“Eee…”

He talks to Kaguya, who is trembling and acting strangely.

However, abuses are suddenly thrown at him, abuses that have no context.

I’m used to Kaguya’s abuse, but recently we’ve become good friends and I thought she was close to being Dere.

“Okay. Then let’s go Reina.”

And that day, after finishing the simulator practice, Reina and Kenya were about to head to the Sylphide house.

The two of them walk side by side and Kaguya watches them from behind.

Suddenly, I realized.

“Hmm? Kaguya? What is it?”

“Huh?”

She held the sleeves of Kenya’s clothes.

It was as if she was telling him not to go.

When Kenya noticed and called her, Kaguya realizing what she had done, her face turned bright red.

‘Wow, it’s different! Idiot, pervert! And die!’

“Gwah!”

Kaguya notices these feelings.

She curses him in embarrassment, pushes him away, and runs away from the scene.

–-What is this? I don’t like it already.

Just thinking about Kenya makes my heart ache.

I ran away desperately, trying not to let him see my bright red face.

Even the tears flow a little, but even Kaguya notices when that happens.

–It can’t be. It can’t be, that I’m such a pervert …

And yet you still can’t admit it, is it pride?

“It’s impossible for me to like him!!!”

Even though she can no longer think of anything but Kenya helplessly against her will.
