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

—“Takemikazuchi? What are you talking about?

“Aha, I’m sorry!It’s nothing.”

Tanaka looks at Kenya suspiciously, but Kenya hurriedly corrects him.

I just mistakenly called it by the name of the previous world, but I wonder if this world has the same name.

“…Well, anyway. We don’t have a named this yet, or rather, we haven’t even tested it yet. So I thought I’d get a good ace-class pilot, but pilots at that level aren’t easy to come by. The specifications of this special model are such that it must be at least as good as the Holy Knight class, or at least as good as Reina.”

According to Tanaka and Sieg, the result of putting in all the latest technology to create a high-spec special model.

Its performance has become so peaky that it struggles to even stand up because it moves so fast.

In fighting games, it is like a character whose win rate increases in proportion to the control skill.

But, if you can’t control it, it’s very weak, but as you get better at it, it becomes stronger than a normal character, that kind of model.

In the previous world, the default was to be too peppy, carry OR, feed and drag the team down.

It was such a standing model, the primary reason for which was the elimination of all long-range weapons.

Another factor was the fact that it was an overly masculine type of aircraft, fighting only with a two-handed sword.

‘It’s not quite tuned up yet today, but would you like to try moving it around a bit? I’m not even sure if you can stand it.”

“Are you sure?”

“Sure.”

Kenya then climbed into the white KOG.

“The cockpit hasn’t changed at–”

The operating method is basically the same.

“Well, let’s try standing up and walking, You don’t have to force yourself!”

–If you can stand up, that alone is good enough. Even Sieg had a little trouble doing so.

“Yes!”

–This is so exciting to be able to ride you again.

Kenya then activates it.

An inorganic start-up sound flows and the White Giant stands up.

–Yeah, as expected of the Takemikazuchi. Its reaction speed is mindblowing.

KOG sits in a seiza-like position.

–A person would be able to stand up without being conscious of it, but not KOG.

Imagine, what do you do when you stand up from seiza?

First, put your right foot – or your left foot – out in front of you.

Then, by shifting your weight onto one leg, you would stand up while supporting yourself with your hands.

There are many more steps to the process if you want to go into detail.

KOG has a high degree of freedom of operation.

So it is not possible to stand up at the touch of a button, and even standing up requires the correct process.

That is why differences in technique appear and a gap exists between the ace level and the apprentice.

And this Takemikazuchi has an unusually strong response from the control stick.

It is like playing a game with a mouse with the sensitivity set to maximum.

If you can handle it perfectly, you will be able to move very fast, but the difficulty level will increase exponentially.

So even simple controls are difficult.

“Did he do it? On his very first time? t-that’s ridiculous.”

“Told you, But as expected, I thought he will have a hard time at first…”

The two surprised people heard Kenya’s voice on an open channel.

“Is it okay to move around?”

“.eh?’Ah, ah.That’s fine, but..”

A white giant takes a step in front of Tanaka.

Smoothly, as if he were a human being.

–Not only can you stand, but you can move so effortlessly.

“Sieg. What on earth is he…?”

“I don’t know either. But I told you before, he is stronger than I am.”

***

“So then, I’ll be counting on you from now on. Kenya-kun.”

“Yes! Call me anytime! I enjoyed it as well!”

In the end, the test run was completed with only a simple operation.

It seemed to meet Tanaka-san’s expectations, and I was hired as a test pilot.

Kenya disbanded and returned to his dormitory.

Kenya: “I wonder if Takemikazuchi will somehow become my personal KOG..”

However, although he was hired as a test pilot currently, he would not be able to receive that aircraft.

After all, Kenya is a second-class citizen of a lower class in the Empire.

“But what should I do now. Infiltrate the empire? Haha, I’ll be killed in a seconds.”

While lying on the sofa, Kenya was thinking about future development.

Kenya wants to stop the world invasion, and although he doesn’t know the cause in the first place, the emperor is currently, and progress has been halted for now.

If the next emperor were to be decided, would it start?

Besides, for Kaguya’s sake, I would also like to take Japan back if possible.

But I am a pilot who is only good at KOG.

There is only so much I can do.

But I want to help.

At first, I only wanted to protect Kaguya. That was all I wanted to do.

But now I want to save Isshin-san and other oppressed Japanese people.

Hypocrisy? Maybe so.

I am not from this world, and even though I am Japanese, I have never met or experienced war.

Yet, I still remember the feeling of the hand that the child held in my hand at that time.

And the tears of a girl who lost her parents.

“But all I can do is ride KOG.”

I don’t have any political power, nor am I good at strategy.

Even knowledge of the previous world means nothing.

Kenya is just an ordinary person.

There is only one thing that Kenya can do in this world.

His skills at KOG are overwhelmingly strong, that’s all.

I wonder, if it will be of use in future.

He raises his hand to the ceiling to grasp the sky.

I don’t know anything about how I’m going to live tomorrow, which I can’t see, even if I think about it.

With these thoughts in mind, he decides to go to bed that day.

But Kenya still didn’t really understand.

What this world is and what it really means to fight.

***

Since then, Kenya has been doing testing for the Takemikazuchi at school.

He trains with Kaguya and the others, and at Amaterasu’s home base, he trains with the actual KOG aircraft, living a KOG-obsessed life.

He spent his time playing happy family games with Azusa and the other children.

◇A few days later…

“You’re here…”

A phone call rings for Sieg.

It is a call to inform him of the arrival of an important person, and he knows who it is.

***

“I can’t believe there’s still a resistance. Why don’t you just kill them all or enslave them?”

A woman landed from the airship just as the sun was rising.

A beautiful woman with golden hair, beautiful and radiant, a princess in her own right.

“Miss Ymir, Welcome. We’ve been waiting for you.”

Sieg welcomes her with a bow.

Around him, several members of the Asgar Imperial Guard bow their heads and greet him.

There are many guards, including KOG.

“Now that I’m here, you can rest assured that I’ll keep the rebels in this area in check.”

“You are going into battle?”

“Yes, what kind of pig can’t make second class, much less third class?”

She says with a smile on her face.

But there is no trace of elegance in her face.

It should be beautiful, but it gives the appearance of ugliness.

“You haven’t killed them all, right? Oh, you have to leave some young males behind. For fun. fufufu”

The imperial princess licks her tongue.

Her beautiful face is twisted into an abomination: an imperial princess who kills people as if she were killing insects.

Known as the Torture Princess, she is a psychopath who would make people rather die than be caught by her.

Asgar Yumir.

She was one of the rulers of this world.ra
