Together!

Yes, Reina, you will be Kens guard, and at the same time you will become a Holy Knight. Thats why I want you to live together.

I understand.

You understand? Dont you?

Kuu! If it wasnt Rhode-samas order!

For some reason, Sieg makes a regretful face.

I dont want to see a damn old man crying.

But Kenya understands the reason why Siegs frustration.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Reina is accepting it surprisingly easily. She even looks a little happy.

Lets sort out our immediate goals for now. From today, Ken, Reina, head to the Asgard Empire. Airships have been arranged. Sieg needs to remain as the military representative of this country. Tanaka, you will cross the sea together with Takemikazuchi. As for the ship, Sieg, can you prepare it?

Understood. Ill make the preparations.

I understand too. Sieg-san, can you help me retrieve it?

Wait, wait a minute. Ill get it ready. Sieg-san, no, Dad.

You heard it earlier. your answer. Then it is no longer for me, your parent, to interfere any further.

Sieg is teary-eyed for some reason.

His daughter suddenly leaves home and lives with another man.

Ive never had a daughter, but is this considered as NTR?

Ken No, Kenya. Take care of Reina, will you?

Yes, of course!

Kenya replied to Sieg in a straight and loud voice.

He straightened his posture and was serious, because Kenya could tell that was his sincerity.

Then, theres nothing more in particular to decide. The airship leaves at 15:00. It will be at the mainland by night, you can leave now. Im on my way too, but I have a special plane for the royal family. I will see you on the other side.

The meeting of the Nithian Alliance ended that day.

Tanaka went to his house to collect research materials for preparation.

I thought it might be dangerous, but it had not yet spread among the military that Tanaka Issei was a member of the resistance.

If it was investigated, it would be discovered immediately. But when I heard the name Tanaka Issei that day, no one knew even who it was, except for Sieg.

And Kenya, who doesnt have much to offer, finishes his preparations.

In the first place, he has nothing in his own house, so he is supposed to buy what he needs in the Asgard Empire.

Reina had also assumed that would be the case beforehand, and her packing was complete.

Well then, Papa. No, Sieg, were off!

Yes, take care of Raina. But I often return to the mainland too, so Im sure we will meet soon.

Is that so? Then Ill be staying at your house for a while.

It seems that Sieg has a mansion in the capital Valhalla, too.

In the first place, that is the main residence, and this one is positioned as a villa.

Kenya and Reina will live in that main residence.

Goodbye for a while, Reina.

Yes, Papa.

Reina and Sieg also say goodbye to each other.

The other heroine, the girl Kenya, risked his life to protect her.

The girl who told him she loved him back then. The girl Kenya also loves.

Thinking of Kurokami Kaguya.

Kaguya Perspective.

We got it, . Kaguya.

A whole day on a ship across the sea.

Kaguya and the others had arrived at the edge of the Asian Union, and the largest nation in Asia.

They had arrived in a country called Nakamu, the head of the Asian Union.

In Nakamu, many scattered countries were brought together by the emperor of the time to form a single state.

The monarchy has been abolished and the country is now a democracy.

In form, it has much the same format as the EU, with elected representatives of the people at the helm.

As a result, all citizens are equal under the law.

However, it is a capitalist state where the rich and the poor are very different and those with wealth continue to have wealth.

Equal rights, unequal wealth.

Equal wealth is never a good thing, but it was definitely a country dominated by the power of money.

A huge state with that kind of political and economic form, that is Nakamu.

In terms of country level, it would be the second largest country after the Asgard empire.

Welcome, people of Japan. And my countrymen.

Greeting Kaguya and the others at the port were military officials from the Asian Union.

The stinky-looking civilian official poses for a welcome with his large hands.

He knows Isshin and the others are coming today, and that one after another Japanese resistance fighters are on their way.

In a good way, as friends to fight with.

In the bad way, as pawns to be used and discarded.

Thank you for accepting the Japanese.

Isshin shakes hands firmly.

No, we too have an urgent need to strengthen our forces. We dont know when the Asgard empire will turn on us again. We welcome you. We are friends. Lets fight together.

Hmm, you want pawns to fight for your lives, plain and simple.

Still, Isshin and his men have no choice but to accept it.

They know that they will be sent to their deaths if ordered to do so.

With the EU on the verge of collapse, this is the only collective of countries that can stand up to the Empire.

They believe that joining the Asian Union is the only way to Japanese independence.

On this day, Isshin and the other members of the resistance Amaterasu will be enrolled as Japanese troops in the Asian Union.

In exchange, they were guaranteed food, clothing, and shelter.

Then a girl steps in front of the civilian officer.

She slowly and firmly puts her feet on the ground and looks straight up.

Nice to meet you. I am Kurokami Kaguya, and I have a request.

Hm? Whats wrong? Miss.

I will fight with my life, I will train to the death and become stronger. So give me the strength, the power to fight. I will not let that country that took my brother, those people I love, and the empire that took Kenya from me.

Her eyes, which were red with tears, were filled with a burning flame of vengeance.

I will never forgive them.
