Chapter 28: 28

“Isshin-san! I’ll manage to break it open!”

Kenya, riding a KOG, tells Isshin.

Nearly 30 KOGs were waiting in front of Kenya and others who attempted to break through the single point.

This is point E on the road map.

Thirty KOGs were a large force capable of overturning the war. A force capable of even destroying a single city.

“Should I leave too?”

“No, you stay behind, you’re probably exhausted from the battle earlier.”

Sieg and Reina are looking at the battlefield through the screen.

Reina counsels Rhode that she is is fine and wants to fight, but Sieg denies her.

Even from the side, she is looking so fatigued that she can barely stand up.

It means that she has fought so hard in such a desperate battle.

“Yes, we have more than enough strength. The only concern is that guy, one who beat Gillian and almost beat even you, that particular pilot…”

Rhode sits on his throne in the command centre.

That one element of uncertainty was the only thing weighing on his mind.

But no matter how strong he is, there is no one who can triumph over nearly 100 KOGs.

That is already beyond the power of an individual.

And yet.

-Why can’t I be sure of victory? What am I overlooking? Why do you feel so insecure about just one ace class?

Rhode was feeling something unfathomable.

In the past, he had always been confident of victory on the battlefield.

This time, the Resistance was right where they were supposed to be, and they tried to break through at the point where they were supposed to be.

And even now, they are aiming at the same place as I read. And I’m sure they are despairing at the difference in strength.

And yet, for some reason, I feel uneasy.

Why so much.

—It’s getting noisy, what’s going to happen…

***

 

“I’ll do my best to break through. Leave me and run away.”

Kenya suggests.

But what this means is a desperate assault.

He declares that he is prepared to die, and that he will charge into a large force of nearly 30 KOGs by himself.

“No! Kenya! No, not like that!”

Kaguya screams on the ground.

To Kenya, who declares that it is equivalent to suicide.

“Kaguya, I’m sorry. But I can only think of one way to keep you alive…”

“Because …… I hate… …… such a thing….”

Tears come to Kaguya’s eyes at Kenya’s reply.

Kaguya knew that was the only way.

He would be able to break through the encirclement with his sheer brute force.

But that would mean Kenya’s death.

If he didn’t stop the enemy as a shield, we wouldn’t be able to escape.

But Kaguya couldn’t see any other way.

What should we do, how can we get out of this predicament?

I didn’t know, I had no choice. All I could do was cry.

—Why don’t I have the strength…? If I were as strong as Kenya… we could have all escaped.

What I regret is why I didn’t practice more.

I could have done more if I was willing to die, there are still KOGs here.

If I were stronger, if I were as strong as Kenya.

The two of us could have gotten out of this predicament.

“Okay. Kenya. I won’t waste your resolve. I will definitely protect Kaguya.”

A single-mindedness to accept Kenya’s proposal.

Every minute is precious. Now, a decision needs to be made.

A life decision.

Who to kill and who to let survive.

“Father! No! I’ll fight too!”

Then Isshin slaps Kaguya.

“You idiot! Don’t say anything that tramples on a man’s resolve!”

Immediately afterwards, he hugs her shoulder and looks at Kaguya.

“I know it’s hard. But you have to live. You. You, the one he wants to protect with his life, live. That’s your responsibility.”

Kaguya, who understood inwardly that this was the only way to do this, sobbed at his hard persuasion.

“Ugh ……, I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Kenya. I’m sorry.”

What she remembers is the end of her brother who once saved her.

Even though I had made up my mind to be strong since then and trained every day.

Because of my weakness again, someone important to me dies.

Someone important will die again to protect me.

Kaguya could do nothing but cry over this fact.

The girl, who was only 16 years old, could only blame herself for not being strong enough and cried.

Then Kenya comes down from the KOG.

He wanted to get a few last moments.

“Kaguya, I’m sorry.”

“Why are you apologising… I’m the only one who’s always protected all the time and I’ve decided to be …… strong, and yet I can’t do anything …… again…. uhh….”

Kenya hugged Kaguya.

The little girl cries in his chest.

You can tell when you hug her, her body is thin.

That the strong-willed but really kind girl is really just a little girl.

That she is just a normal, pretty girl who is just being strong.

“I wanted to protect you more coolly. ……”

“You’re cool, Kenya is cool.”

“Then a reward for risking my life…!”

Kenya was intending to make a joke to cheer her up a little.

But suddenly his mouth is sealed, and is vigorously blocked by Kaguya’s kiss.

When their lips part, the girl, her face swollen with tears, opens her mouth.

“I love you, Kenya. …… I love you…”

“Kaguya!”

“Are you rewarded?”

Kaguya looks embarrassed and shy. Her face turns red and she smiles with teary eyes.

This might be the last time, so I thought I would regret it if I didn’t tell her.

I can be honest now.

No, if I don’t become honest, I will regret it for the rest of my life.

I want to tell this person.

At first I thought he was a strange person.

A boy who was so strong, kind and me, who somehow told me he loved me.

Kaguya was in love with Kenya.

She was in love with the boy who thought of her in that straightforward, honest, and earnest way.

Although they had only spent less than a month together, Kenya’s presence in Kaguya’s heart had grown so large that she thought about him every day.

He had become such an existence.

“I see. Thank you, Kaguya. I love you too.”

Kenya hugs Kaguya once more.

This might be the last time, so he hugs her with all his might.

There were tears in Kenya’s eyes again.

It’s not that he wasn’t afraid of dying.

In fact, he was so scared that his legs were even trembling, unable to believe that he was about to die.

A boy who has lived a comfortable life in modern Japan is now fighting in a war zone.

When he dies, will it hurt, and how will he feel when he dies?

Such anxieties almost crushed me.

But those feelings have already been dispelled.

With Kaguya’s confession, those feelings of fear flew away.

I felt a hot feeling rising up from deep within my chest that I absolutely had to protect her.

Slowly, I let go of Kaguya and said goodbye to her for the last time.

“Thank you ……, you gave me courage. It’s almost time to go… see you later, Kaguya.”

“Yeah, see you again ……… No, goodbye. I love you. I love you.”

Kaguya is also ready.

She knows that anything more will only slow down Kenya.

She holds back desperately, holds back her tears, and smiles as she sees him off.

Kenya nods at that smile and turns away.

Then Isshin approaches.

“Kenya-kun. You have this with you ……… you know how to use it… and when to use it.”

A pistol is handed to Isshin.

Knowing what it meant, Kenya nodded slowly.

He then climbed into the KOG.

Behind him were members of the Resistance, including Kaguya, who were grouped together to escape.

Several KOGs are also standing by to escort.

Kenya takes one look at them and confirms that preparations are complete.

He then activates the KOG.

“Fighting to protect…… or dying protecting the girl I love. I couldn’t have thought of that in my previous world.”

I never thought that I would be doing something that I thought would only happen in a game like that.

But coming to this game world, seeing, and living with people who are definitely trying hard in this world.

I feel like I’ve grown as a person.

It wasn’t just my KOG skills that grew when I came to this world.

The spirit is perhaps the part that has grown the most.

I have learned what it means to live with the risk of one’s life.

I grew up seeing Japanese people living hard in this world where it is hard just to live.

For Kenya, who lived vaguely day by day, every day was intense. He felt alive, and his life was valuable to someone else.

He was truly happy to have become a man who was worthy of Kaguya’s love.

Then Kenya took off towards the middle of the enemy center.

As if telling himself, he declared in a loud voice.

There was not the slightest hint of fear in his eyes as he moved the large force in front of him.

“Then, literally.”

He smirks and is burning hot.

“I’ll defend them to the death, don’t even think about it chasing after them!”
