When I Fell Madly in Love With the Heroine, the World Changed. ～the Strongest Gamer in the World Bec

08 Amaterasu.

–Kenya-kun!!

Kenya shouts in his heart and makes a small gut-punch.

He was nervous inside that he might be disliked, but it seems that he managed to be just on the borderline of being accepted.

And then the test was over.

In the end, all the Japanese lost except for Kenya, who declared his defeat in a loud voice.

Their voices were full of pride, and no sense of condescension was felt anywhere.

It was certainly frustrating to lose.

Still, it felt good to see the Asgardians, who had been knocked out of the game by Kenya’s victory.

Kenya smiles shyly back at the Japanese people, who are happy for him as if he were one of them.

In the previous world, he was a total bum, but in this world it seems to be a little different.

After the tests, the day’s training is over.

From there, Kenya’s strategy began.

It’s name is.

“Hey Kaguya. Why don’t you and I go out for dinner?”

Operation Favorability.

“Huh?　Do you think I’ve forgiven you for that?　You pervert.”

The strategy ended in failure.

–Strange, with the current favorability level of you should have readily accepted my offer…..

Unfortunately, Kenya have guts, but no romantic experience.

–If it was a VR novel game, these guys would come running towards me now.

–Shit!　Where did I go wrong!

The mistake was the difference between reality and the game.

That these girls have countless options and that the route is not fixed like in a game.

The  Zero romance experience  virgin Kenya couldn’t possibly know that.

But Kenya’s efforts were not all in vain.

Kaguya replies while looking sideways at Kenya, who shudders, and turns away.

‘Ki, I have plans for today, but … I can go to you tomorrow… okay?

–I got you, Heroine!!!!

Thank goodness, I wasn’t wrong.

Thank you, you gal games.

Even though, I’ve hardly played any of them.

“All right!　Then let’s exchange contact details.”

Kenya and Kaguya exchanged contact details.

The exchange was done via the KOG device’s messaging app.

I have a lot of questions I want to ask this guy, and I can at least thank him for helping me now…

Kaguya thought about it as they exchanged contact details.

The two then left school for the day.

Kenya returns home and decides to plan his future strategy.

Kaguya, on the other hand, proceeds towards the unpopular area instead of the dormitory.

Kaguya Point of View

“I’m back, Dad.”

“Welcome back, Kaguya. I hope you’re not having a hard time.”

Away from Tokyo, this is a lawless zone.

The town spreads out like a slum.

The occupied and ruled country has lost its capital functions, except for the Tokyo area.

The infrastructure has been left inadequately maintained, and life is hard and inconvenient.

They were unable to form a government and were poorly governed.

If they tried to unite and stand up, they were mercilessly suppressed in the form of death.

But they lived hand in hand.

The building is like a safe house in the middle of all this.

In a large hall, the national flag of Japan, which they are punished for carrying, is displayed.

In the centre of the hall, a man was sitting in the uppermost seat.

“For the sake of Japan, I am sorry for the hardships you have had to endure. Have you been mistreated?”

“No, I’m fine. I am prepared to put my life on the line as a member of Amaterasu.”

…… If my mother heard that, she would cry.

The man’s name is Isshin Kurokami.

He was Kaguya’s real father and a lieutenant general in the former Japanese Army.

He was the key figure in the defence of this country, which is now lost.

And.

“I, too, am prepared to put my life on the line as the head of Amaterasu. The day of the decisive battle is near.”

The Resistance, which has yet to give up the spirit of the Japanese identity.

An organisation that seeks to take back Japan once more and save the oppressed people of this country.

An organisation created with a wish to once again illuminate this country as the god of Japan and the god of the sun.

That is Amaterasu.

In terms of the scale of the colony, it was the largest resistance group in the world.

“At last, we are taking it back. Our country.”

“Yes, we have already spoken to the Asian Coalition. If we can regain actual control of the country and occupy it, they will add us to the coalition.”

“Right, then I’ll have to work even harder.”

“Good. Oh, by the way, anything going on at school?”

Did something happen at school today?

It is a normal conversation between a father and daughter, but the intention is not chitchat, etc.

Kaguya thinks back, and what immediately comes to mind is that smirking face.

It still annoys me that I was so taken aback, even if only for a moment, but his power was real.

“There was one interesting guy. Maybe he could join us.”

“What’s he like?”

“Hm, At the very least his KOG skills are stronger than anyone here. More than the White Silver Ice Princess, if I may say so.”

What I remember is that fight.

I honestly think now that Kenya was clearly more capable than me.

That was an intentional defeat.

“I see. Sometimes they are born. At every milestone of an era, a monster of sorts emerges. The Ice Princess was one of them, but was it coincidence or fate? There were Kirin children in our country, weren’t there?”

“Yes, and…”

–He was kind.

“And?”

“No, nothing!”

“I see. …But I’d like to get him on board at any cost, please, Kaguya.”

“Please wait, it’s up to him and if he’s willing to do it, and doesn’t have any dissatisfaction toward the country then.”

“Even if he doesn’t. You see.”

Then Isshin looks at her daughter’s legs.

They are slender and attractive.

Healthy limbs and mother’s good looks.

A young body that is attractive enough, but not seductive enough.

Isshin looks at it and sighs, then turns his head and gestures at her.

“Huh, if I only had bigger breasts, he could be tempted…. Hmm, that’s a shame. Why didn’t you look like your mother there … Huh?　Kaguya?”

In front of her is a daughter who is popping her fingers.

Kaguya is smiling but not smiling.

Isshin breaks out in a cold sweat.

“You’re looking more and more like your mother, except for your breasts.”

“I’ll kill you!”

***

‘Jokes aside, bring him in. I will assess him.”

Isshin mends a large bump on his head.

‘What’s the point of having a shitty dad look at him ?”

“That’s terrible, I’m your father, you know.”

Kaguya turns away and curses Isshin.

I respect him as a person and I respect him as a parent, but sometimes he’s like this.

If this were past times, it would be domestic sexual harassment, but despite everything, Kaguya liked her father.

‘And anyway. I’m planning a large-scale operation in the near future. You’ve got to be a part of it!

“What are we doing?”

“We’ll build up our forces, we’ll attack one of the ships. Depending on the outcome, the Asiatic Union may acknowledge us.”

The Asian Coalition is a huge federation of states that divides the world in two.

We will take back Japan and ask them to let us into it.

As for the Asian Coalition, it will be able to strengthen its forces.

They are happy to increase their forces as they have been invaded by the Asgars since the beginning.

However, they have no intention of welcoming back the losers.

Therefore, they want to make it known that the country of Japan is not dead.

The operation was a test for that purpose.

“We really need good pilots for that mission.”

The eyes were serious, and Kaguya nodded slowly.

◇ Kenya’s point of view

“Well, I’m tired from too many things happening all at once.”

The fact that it has not yet been a day since he came to this world surprises Kenya.

According to his usual experience, it has been about three days, but from the repetition of every day doing KOG all day long, there has been too much stimulation.

It is said that life is turned around at the age of 20, but it is strange that the speed of experience increases when you continue with the same kind of days.

I open the door to my room.

I later realise that this is a dormitory for second-class Asgar Imperial citizens.

A room given to those wishing to become military personnel.

It has minimal furnishings, but I didn’t expect my room to be the same.

I wonder if the other rooms are the same.

‘Phew…’

I sit on the sofa and exhale.

‘I’m tired because I haven’t been outside in a while.

“But I guess I really have come to the world of KOG.”

What happened today was so shocking that I remember everything vividly.

Seeing KOG live, meeting Kaguya, fighting Reina.

And then I found out what’s going on in this country.

“The world is the same, but it’s not all the same events as in the game, of course.”

If Kenya is the protagonist, there are no episodes where he saves Kaguya or fights Reina.

In the first place, there is no protagonist in this world.

It’s a game in the form of enjoying the school as a mere pilot.

‘It didn’t look like it was going to be fun at all, though, and the guy called Goode was a prick.’

Is it the fault of the Asgar imperial people, their culture, or the royal family?

I can’t blame them alone, though, as they were raised to be that way from birth.

“Still, we have to stop it anyway…”

One thing is for sure.

It is a future that will probably happen one day.

The worst event that will cause many deaths.

An all-out war, initiated by the Emperor of the Asgar Empire.

In other words.

“World domination, really,  needs to stopped.”

Outbreak of world war.
