When I Fell Madly in Love With the Heroine, the World Changed. - Chapter 45

For reference, the current strength rankings (according to the author).

I haven’t written anything that would be a spoiler. The further to the left you go in that ranking, the stronger you are.

I’ll write it all down one day.

Everybody loves strength rankings! The Three Heroes, Thor, White Lotus, etc. are secrets.

SSS Awakening Kenya.

SS Active Sieg, Chief Holy Knight (higher rank)

S Previous World Kenya, retired Siege, Chief Holy Knight (mid-level), Jin (Chief Holy Knight newcomer)

A Senior holy knight, Reina at present time, mid-level holy knight

B Holy Knight, Reina at the time of admission, Kaguya at the end of Chapter 1

C General knight

D Apprentice, Kaguya at the time of admission

“General soldiers < gamers < soldiers who have survived death”.

The following are examples.

I believe that putting your life on the line is the strongest way to progress.

Of course, in real life some people might risk their lives to a game…

So who are the gamers who have survived death?

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

“Huh?”

All those watching the fight had their mouths open and something inaudible leaked out.

Only one person, Reina, was proud, with a face that said, ‘Of course. It’s natural.’

“Wh-what?”

“Coincidence? It’s a fluke, isn’t it!”

“If you do it about a thousand times, maybe…”

“Are you seriously saying that? It’s impossible. No matter how many times we try it, we’ll never even come close to defeat Jin.”

The three charlatans try desperately to come up with some special reason.

They think, but their brains deny, that there is no such thing as being lucky because they know about the existence of Jin.

“How… how! Sieg! What the hell did you raise-buhahaha-!”

Colonel Starr sobers up, stands up, and gets excited.

He, too, is a retired, but a former Holy Knight.

He is a reasonably competent fighter, and his eyes are now discerning from his daily watching of the games.

Even with his starry eyes, the result was extraordinary.

“This, hahaha! What a thing! Jin, that Jin has lost without even being able to get a hand on him!”

“Of course. Because Onii‐chan is the strongest in the world.”

“Oh, that’s great. Ken, you are far beyond the level of a student, and by the way, so is Jin. You are utterly bottomless! Even for a chief knight who has never experienced war! This is…”

Starr becomes more talkative as the tension rises.

Both the honor student Reelbert and the Duke Zoids are still processing what happened.

Then Kenya comes down from the simulator.

Jin still can’t get up.

“Impossible…, I’m the Chief Holy Knight… that’s… fufufu impossible… fufufu…”

Jin mumbles in the simulator’s cockpit.

He starts laughing as if he has broken down.

Then everyone, including Colonel Starr, comes by from Kenya.

“Ken! What was that! Explain it to me! That strength!”

Everyone demands an explanation for its strength.

Kenya starts to make excuses that he and Sieg had thought up beforehand.

“Because I trained extremely hard with my dad since I was a little kid! That’s already with the strength to get killed!”

“Ho! That makes sense then. Sieg was at the strongest level, now his skills must have fallen, but you were also trained as a gifted student!”

“That’s cheating! I wish I had parents who were the heads of the Holy Knights too!”

“My parents are commoners…”

Hearing that Kenya’s excuse, they were convinced.

If he received gifted education from the Sieg, who is irregular even among Chief Holy Knight’s, it’s no wonder he has strength that they don’t understand.

Kenya is lifted up as being great and amazing.

Then he is grabbed by the shoulder from behind.

“I am glad you’re here, Ken-kun…”

“Jin-san…”

“Ha, ha. One more time. Let’s do it one more time. Okay? Just a little bit. Just a little bit. Ha ha ha.”

Jin is breathing hard.

For a moment I thought he was that exhausted, but he was a little bit off. How can I explain. It’s like he’s a little too excited.

His cheeks were red and there was even a shine in his eyes.

“It was great, amazing. You. You’re so bumpy… more. You can beat me up more. Ha ha ha.”

“Huh?”

Jin is broken by the existence called Kenya, which surpasses him.

No, maybe this is what he originally was.

Jin, who has never lost to his generation, is awakened by being beaten up by Kenya.

“This long-forgotten feeling of defeat! I can’t wait! I can be stronger!”

As a M.

“I feel a little bit sick. Jin-san.”

Sticky Jin touches Kenya.

He too is a KOG junkie, lives for KOG, and dies for KOG.

KOG is his goal in life and the greatest meaning of KOG.

And so he develops a fondness, a kind of worshipping, for Kenya, a being who has easily outstripped him.

“I didn’t know Jin was such a character…”

“I thought he was a cool character, but he’s a perverted high tension type character?”

Everyone present was slightly taken back by Jin’s breakdown.

“Ah, then, Onii‐chan. I want you to fight me too for the first time in a while.”

“Then, then, can I fight too?”

Reina and the other charlatans were asked to fight in Kenya.

Jin is also persistent, and as Kenya, he doesn’t want to forget what it feels like now, so he doesn’t wish for it.

Then the mock fight with Kenya began.

“No way!!! I don’t feel like I can even get a single shot off, and I’ll die in an instant!”

“Kuku. Strong again. I’ve been cut off again.”

“Hahaha, Ken-sama. What great skill. Haaaaah!”

Every time Kenya beat up Jin, he broke more and more.

In the end, he repeats mock battles, with all of them, still slightly drawn out by Jin, who started calling him ‘Sama’.

He wins all the battles, and now Kenya has no enemies.

He had been fighting for a while, but he seemed to have asked for delivery until lunch, so he fought in the simulator room until about evening.

“No – I got to see something great! An eye opener! Sieg has a good son.”

Colonel Starr drank his drink with satisfaction.

Kenya’s fight satisfied his desire to watch.

“Phew, sorry. I’m distraught. Ken-sama. Excuse me, Ken! It was a very meaningful time. Thank you. Please keep up the good work.”

As if mending the situation, Jin maintains his composure and asks for a handshake.

“No, I learned a lot from you too.”

Kenya, who responds in an adult manner, smiles back.

—Ha! I guess there’s no going back now…

But inwardly, I’m pulling back slightly.

Jin, who has broken down but endures and returns to normal with his strong mental strength.

But that perversion is firmly remembered in Kenya’s eyes, and in Kenya’s mind. Jin’s reputation as a pervert is firmly established.

“Well, Ken, now that we’ve seen the ability of you two, let’s call it a day. We have an emergency imperial broadcast coming in from now on.”

Colonel Starr gives the order to withdraw.

Apparently, there is now an emergency broadcast scheduled throughout Empire, and everyone has to watch it.

And it was at that moment that everyone began to withdraw.

“Hi, So you were here, I guess it’s over now, it’s a shame, I wanted to watch the game.”

Immediately afterwards, everyone was on their knees.

The person’s appearance is met with the utmost courtesy.

“I see you have been successfully admitted, my knight, Ken Sylphid.”

Except for one boy who had sworn no oath of loyalty.
