When I Fell Madly in Love With the Heroine, the World Changed. - Chapter 36

“Huh?”

Sieg is an unintentionally let rude attitude towards the royal family.

“You don’t like it? Sieg.”

“No, no. I’m sorry. I’m a little surprised.”

“Rh, Rhode! Explain to me exactly what’s going on!”

“Huh… I’m sorry, You’re going to be working as an Asgardian, aren’t you? What about your origins?”

“Well, that’s…”

“If you are Japanese, you can get away with having no parents. But not the Asgardian. And you wouldn’t be able to explain the reasons for that strength, although to tell you the truth, I’d like to hear the explanation for that strength, too.

When asked for an explanation, nothing will raise suspicions if you say that you received special training from Sieg from an early age. Besides, it’s the Blood of the God of War. That’s going to come in handy for you in many ways in the future.”

“I see…”

“Hmm… I’m getting really sleepy. I have to sleep for eight hours to be able to think straight, because my brain consumes so much more energy than yours.”

— Pissed off (angry) .

Rhode’s light-taunt annoys Kenya.

Rhode sees this and gets even more stirred up.

“It’s just a fact, don’t get angry. Haha, I can’t take it anymore. Let’s not continue with this tomorrow, we’re going back to Sieg’s. Meet me tomorrow at noon at Sieg’s residence and I’ll have this unit collected at a later date. You can come in that vehicle.”

“Oh, hey!”

“Good night, my friend.”

“Don’t let them know, Katsuragi.”

“Good night, Kenya-kun.”

With that, Sieg, Reina, and Rhode went.

After it was decided, it was very easy and quick.

“Is Rhode like that? You’re starting to get too out of character.”

A solitary ruler.

Noble and proud, yet a genius at war.

I thought he was like that, but the feeling I got from talking to him today was that he was completely like a friend of my age.

I’m a loner with no friends, but come to think of it, that guy was a loner too.

“But man, you’re in a lot of trouble.”

“Yes, I wish I could tell Kaguya and the others about the situation…”

There is no way to contact Kaguya and the others at all.

Tanaka had also exchanged contact details, and other information with Isshin, but unless he was in the capital, he could not receive a signal.

In this world, communication between nations does not seem to be connected via the internet as in the previous world.

In the first place, the Asian Union and the Asgar Empire are at war, so it would be strange to be reachable.

If something were to happen in this era, they would hold a face-to-face meeting by representatives of the countries.

Even in the previous world, face-to-face meetings between important countries were the norm, so perhaps that is the case.

Actually, I guess there are some communication methods that only representatives can use.

“One day we will be able to communicate. If we are like-minded. Unfortunately, I don’t know any pipeline with the Asian Union, sorry.”

Tanaka-san was not in charge of those diplomatic parts, and Isshin mainly corresponded with representatives of the Asian Union.

“…Yes, that’s right. I’d like to see Kaguya… but I probably shouldn’t tell her I’m alive.”

I want to tell Kaguya that she is alive.

But if it’s directly, or if it’s not in a credible way, she’ll know it’s Kenya from what Rhode said earlier.

“Yes, it would be difficult to inform her publicly due to the mission, but if we were to meet her directly… I can’t think of anything right away. Anyway, I guess I’ll just go to bed for the day and work on the future.”

Kenya and Tanaka then decide to sleep there for the rest of the day.

The temperature was pleasant and they fell asleep with the smell of gunpowder smoke.

** Early morning the next day

The next day the morning sun wakes them up.

“It wasn’t a dream… what happened yesterday was real, wasn’t it?”

Kenya is still unable to accept reality.

Too much has happened. He sees Takemikazuchi beside him and knows it was real.

“Good morning, Kenya. Here, coffee. It’ll help you wake up.”

“Oh, thank you.”

Tanaka-san, who woke up first, gives him a coffee and he drinks it, and then gets ready.

The transport vehicle seems to have a lot of facilities.

“Anyway, shall we head to Sieg’s house?”

“Before that, can I—..”

Kenya looks at Takemikazuchi and the victims.

“Well… yes. That’s good.”

Kenya gets on Takemikazuchi and digs a hole.

Then he buried the victims, because he couldn’t do everything, but he wanted to do as much as he could.

And of course, the children from the orphanage.

Two of them hold hands in front of a simple grave.

Their eyes are tightly closed, but tears leak through the cracks.

“Azusa, Midori, Takeru…”

One after another, they call out their names, recalling their faces and wishing them a peaceful sleep.

I have heard it sometime.

Funerals and graves are for those who are alive and those who are left behind.

The old, cynical Kenya used to think, ‘What are you talking about, it’s just a nuisance.’

But now he understands, what it means.

“It’s a separation, isn’t it, a grave? To move forward to the next.”

“….Yes. To move on.”

And Kenya stands up.

Not that he isn’t sad, but now he has found a goal.

So he switches his thoughts, straight to a clear goal.

Make Rhode an emperor.

And eliminate conflict from the world.

To make it the meaning of the sacrifices these children made.

That’s the biggest favor Kenya could do for everyone, he thought.

“Well, I’m off, everyone. Leave the rest to me.”

Kenya doesn’t look back anymore.

But he firmly engraved them in his heart and spun his thoughts.

Connect and move on to the next, only the heart is eternal.

Because that is the strongest weapon of people.

***

Kenya and the others then head to Sieg’s house under Tanaka’s driving.

“What are you going to do now, Tanaka-san?”

“Well, it’s up to Kenya-kun, but I’m thinking of continuing my research somewhere else. And I’m sure that KOG’s can still be upgraded.”

Kenya and Tanaka discuss the future.

But since the royal family is behind us, we should be able to ask for a certain amount of freedom.

Yesterday, the discussion ended up in a somewhat unclear place, so nothing has been decided about the future.

“Well, here we are.”

After an hour or two by car, we arrive at Sieg’s house.

The house is as big as ever, so big that it would not look out of place even if a military vehicle were parked there – it’s like a hotel roundabout.

“You arrived, Tanaka?”

“Can I park here?”

“No, the back of the house is better. I’ll show you.”

As soon as we arrive, Sieg-san greets us.

“Kenya-kun. I’m going to have a little chat with Tanaka about future plans, so go take a bath.”

“Is that okay!”

“Yeah, and Reina is going shopping now, as I’m sure you’ll need a lot of things. I think she’ll be back soon, so go ahead and get in. Just after you go into the house, turn left and it’s straight ahead.”

—I’m so glad, because I was honestly covered in sweat, blood, and sand.

Kenya goes up to Sieg’s house as told.

I’ve been here once, so I kind of know where to go.

I’ve never been to the bathroom, but when I went in, to the left, there was a bathroom.

“Wow, it’s big. And hot water, it’s a bathtub~.”

It wasn’t so much a public bath, but it was quite a large bathroom.

To see how big it was, imagine a round bathtub that looks like a jacuzzi in a billion-dollar apartment.

That’s about it, and it was filled with warm water with steam, just like an aristocrat.

“Thank you, Sieg-san!”

Kenya takes off the dirt-covered clothes he was wearing so as not to get them dirty and puts them in one place.

He rushes to the bath.

The warm shower alone felt so good that he almost fell asleep already.

And in front of me, two kinds of shampoo.

One is simple and mass-produced. It is probably Sieg’s, and he doesn’t seem to care much about fashion.

If you’re a man, you might say that a dip in the water is enough.

And on the other side are very expensive and trendy shampoo and treatment.

At that moment, Kenya had an intuition.

“Definitely Reina’s, yes. Reina always bathes here.”

Kenya is suddenly excited.

He imagines Reina with that fleshy, sexy nape of her neck.

The silhouette of her in the shower is in my mind’s eye.

Oh, shit.

Kenya is getting horny.

His body is a first-year high school student. A sexual desire, everyday is alive.

Basically, his body can do seven hits in seven at bats, sometimes two hits in one at bat. (Probably can take 7 shots a day, and two In-Row,)

“It’s as bad as it sounds. In a place like this, no, rather, it’s because it’s a place like this.”

He turns his head and denies it.

As expected, the perversion level is too high, reason, do your job.

After all that had happened, I felt that my body was honest, but I guess it was because of all that had happened.

It is said that when life is in danger, people’s libido rises.

It’s an instinctive behavior to leave offspring.

“So, but a little bit of this shampoo… yes. Because I wasn’t told which one to use. This is an accident. It’s only an accident.”

He then washes his hair using the shampoo that Reina would have used.

It smelled pleasantly of soapy soap. It smelled really good.

“So this is what Reina smells like.. *sniff**sniff*. directly anyway…”

My head was full of pink fantasies with Reina.

Kenya’s reason broke down as his physical strength was at its limit and the tension was getting crazy.

“Kenya… kun?”

“Ohhh, I can even hear her voice now, Hahahahaha.”

He succeeded in materialising Reina’s voice with his too strong imagination.

Reina’s voice, which I heard between the sounds of the shower, excited me even more.

I want to imagine her naked body already anyway. I want to take a bath with her.

Thump.

“I’m coming in, okay? Kenya-kun.”

“Please – go ahead, wash my back as it is…!”
