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

Chapter 67: Part-02

Ken Sylphid, your suspicion of being a traitor has been cleared. Thank you for your cooperation.

So saying, the soldiers hand over Kenya, who stands helplessly to Lord and Reina, who have come to the front of that military facility.

Ken! Oni-chan!

Rhode and Reina?

Rhode and Reina run over to lend a shoulder.

A faint voice embraces the white-faced Kenya.

Kenya regains consciousness at the sound of their voices, and his voice is choked.

Rhode then looks up with anger in his face.

At the other end of his gaze.

Reelbert what does this mean? I havent received any reports. The only report Ive received is that he had a lack of sleep.

Standing at the end of his gaze was an honor student with blonde hair and glasses.

It was Reelbert, who was supposed to be acting as Rhodes spy.

Rhode is angry, wondering what kind of explanation he has.

However.

Thank you for all you have done for me, Rhode-Sama.

Reelbert, who was standing there, bows his head with a different face than usual and a frighteningly cold voice.

The look on his face, the words were enough for Rhode to understand everything.

Since when?

Still, he didnt want to believe it.

From the beginning, everything. From the very beginning, really, since the EU war, since the day my parents were burnt alive in the fire by the EU shits.

I see, I suppose Im not good enough to see people, no wonder I cant even make a single friend. I cant believe you betrayed me.

If you were a pure Asgard person no, theres nothing you can do about that. You are the one with EU blood running through your veins. I feel sick just talking to you of unclean blood. But dont worry, Ive served you really seriously until today.

Then Reelbelt turns away.

Reelbert has long been a subordinate to Rhode.

But in reality, he is Odins subordinate.

A boy with a hatred for the EU, he was a double agent for Rhode as Odins subordinate.

Carved in his mind are the screams of his parents, who were tortured and killed in a war with the EU when he was a child.

That haunting heart was skillfully manipulated by Odin, and Reelbert, with the flames of vengeance in his heart, was working as a double agent.

That is why the Rhodes camp could not find out anything that happened at the Inquisition.

Guhh *Cough* *Cough*!

Kenya vomits blood.

Upon seeing this, Reina shouts.

Dont be ridiculous! Such you know today whats about to happen starting from now on!

Reina questions Reelbert and the other soldiers in a low, intimidating voice.

We were just inquiring, its his fault for getting sick. Do you understand the situation? Who will fight who now? And what will happen to the losers.

The soldier no longer had any respect for Rhode.

He is a soldier under Odins command, and he is convinced that Odin will win today, and he understands that if that happens, Rhode will be cornered.

Thats why they are intimidated and have no respect even for the Rhode-

On this day, Reelbert also parted ways with Rhode.

He used all the trust he had built up over the years for this day, the most effective card Odin had ever played in cutting him.

Youll see, he said, those spiteful words. Understand that you will never be able to swallow it again, and Reelbelt!

I will return it to you as it is. Rhode-sama

Rhode took Kenya straight to the car.

Go, to the venue.

What? Rhode-sama! Oh no, not in this situation! We have to postpone the only thing

We cant do that. You saw the broadcast yesterday, the world cant wait any longer.

But, thats

Kenya, can you?

..Yes.

His voice didnt seem to have any soul in it, as he answered without any power.

There are only a few hours left until the Imperial Sword Festival, but the world has already begun to move.

While Kenya was being held prisoner at the hearing, the world situation changed rapidly.

Kenya knows nothing about it, and Rhode doesnt want to tell him at the moment.

At the very least, he keeps quiet because he wants to let him concentrate on the mortal combat that is about to take place.

He is hoping that his knight, who has wounds all over his body, will be able to do what he wants.

***

Were here, Kenya.

The place where the Rhodes arrived.

The place is like a medieval coliseum.

It was a coliseum like a football field, large enough for the KOGs that hold this traditional festival every year to fight each other.

The three men entered through the officials entrance.

Kenya-kun, lets not do this after all! If you die it will be meaningless!

Its okay, Goho! Goho! I can go for at least one fight. Besides you have a fight today, dont you? Rhode.

Conversation heard in fragments in the car.

Rhode said he had to decide today.

Probably for some reason.

if we miss today, the empire will fall into my brothers possession and the world will be filled with hundreds of millions of dead people and billions of slaves, including the ones you want to protect.

Then we must do our best, Goho we must.

Rhode! Why why are you saying that? Ugh. Why wont you stop him?

Reina bursts into tears.

Why doesnt Rhode stop Kenya?

There is no way he can fight in this situation, so why wont he stop him?

He will die, Kenya-kun. The opponent is that Sword Saint, woohoo. With a body like that

Sorry, Reina. But Im going.

And Kenya stands up.

On his own feet, trembling, his back was too weak and feeble.

Reina could only cry and look at his back.

She slumped down on the spot and stared at their backs.

She sees the future that will happen next, and imagines that Kenya is dying, couldnt help but just sob.

No, no dont go. Kenya-kun.

Her voice has reached him.

Still, he didnt listen.

Im sorry, Reina. Theres someone I want to protect its you and Kaguya. I have to save both of you, its useless.

Ugh!

Hearing this, Reina could only cry.

In front of her is Rhode, who is standing straight in front of her, and Kenya, who is walking beside her, with his shoulder lent to her.

The girls voice has no power to stop them.

Sorry, Rhode. I had to fight in this state. I didnt expect that Reelbert-san was your enemy.

Im the one who should apologise. Im sorry, they got the better of me. I didnt see it at all its my fault for only observing the battlefield and not the people.

Well but I goh Im on your side. Dont worry, though, Im such a ragged knight.

Rhodes eyes moistened as he heard this.

But Kenya has no energy left to look up, so he doesnt see that expression.

Just one word.

Thank you.

At those words, Kenya looks down and smiles.

The Rhode and the ragged knight go shoulder-to-shoulder as it is.

The only person the Rhode can trust anymore is this broken-down ragged knight.

Even in this situation, he still has to trust him alone.

He must not think in the slightest that he will lose, and until the very end, only Rhode believes in Kenyas victory.

That is why he tells her.

Win. My Knight, Kenya Mitsurugi.

Yes, Your Highness.

***

Mitsurugi Kenya!

Rhode and Kenya then appeared in the waiting room.

Inside, Sieg and Tanaka Issei were waiting for them.

Is it them like this damn it!

Looking at Kenya, Sieg showed his frustration and anger and banged on the wall.

It was the Inquisitions handiwork, Sieg knew immediately, and he knew how they played things.

Still, with the help of Osiris and Lamia, the torture was stopped, and he was annoyed at himself for being a little relieved.

Takemikazuchijin is in perfect condition, Kenya-kun. However with you like this

Tanaka also understood that Kenya was in no condition to fight very well when he saw his condition.

Its okay, I can somehow still move my limbs ggh gosh.

Then an announcement is made.

In a voice like a sports commentary.

Well, its starting. The Imperial Sword and Warrior Festival! Today the next emperor of our empire will be chosen, and you will all be the proof of history!

An announcement announces the start of the Imperial Sword and Warfare Festival.

In the hall, there are over 10,000 spectators and the nobles of the Asgard, including Odin.

And in the waiting room opposite Kenya, and the others, a man wakes up from his mental unification.

So its time

The Empires most powerful knight.

Osiris Halberd opens his eyes.
