—“Rhode-Sama, Odin is running away, if you don’t mind. If now?”
Soon after the Imperial Sword Festival, a subordinate advises Rhode.
He thought that he could defeat Odin now.
He thought that this was the reason why he had such a large force waiting outside the arena.
The few military forces that Rhode could move before he became emperor were assembled near the arena.
Even so, it’s still not an insignificant number.
“No, that’s fine. If they don’t come at us. The worst thing that could happen is a war at this very moment. I was nervous inside, but I’m glad my brother didn’t get desperate.”
His men stand by to follow Rhode’s advice, but they don’t see why they should miss this great opportunity.
But they will soon find out.
“That was…”
A large force appears from the sky to receive Odin.
Odin’s military force, so many of them that the capital would be leveled if they fought properly.
“Brother, I am amazed at your circumspection, even in that situation, you didn’t fail to prepare for the time when you lost. No, maybe for when you win, to kill me.”
Rhode knew that Odin was gathering forces for the day.
Because he had grabbed an unusual flow of ammunition and a flow of stockpiles that would start a war.
If I had been defeated today, I would have been killed as it was.
I have prepared as many forces as I can move, but the amount I can move is limited as a pre-Emperor.
“It was also thanks to my knight, even in that state, he didn’t collapse until the end. If it hadn’t been for that, maybe…”
When Odin comes to kill Rhode with all his might now, he is outgunned in strength.
But thanks to Kenya standing there until the end, Odin chose to retreat.
Because once time was bought by Kenya, the forces of the nobles who had become his allies as a result of Rhode becoming emperor would come to reinforce him.
Because it should be Odin who would then be defeated.
“I see… you were really on the edge.”
“Yeah, although if my brother had chosen war, the Asgard would have been in a real predicament. At a time when we have to fight the World Federation.”
The World Federation is attacking during an internal war with Odin, which has half of the Asgard’ forces.
That is the one thing he would definitely like to avoid, but Rhode knew that Odin would not make the choice.
Because.
“I would not allow you to be defeated by another country rather than me. Brother, you are that kind of person.”
And Rhode just stares at Odin as he runs away.
Understanding the decisive separation from the brother he once would have adored.
◇Past.
“Look, Rhode. It’s called chess! I’ll teach you!”
“Brother… may I? I’m… unclean…
“Hm? Nonsense, you little brat! Come over here and sit next to me! Don’t be shy. I’m your brother! It’s my job to look after my brother!”
◇
That we will never be able to laugh at each other again.
***
Time goes back a little.
The day when Kenya was still in prison under Odin’s ploy.
In other words, the day after the Imperial Sword and Warrior Festival was decided upon.
The place is the Asian Union. The name of the country is Chubu.
The country is the leader among the world’s largest federation of states.
Apart from Asgard, it is the largest country in the world and a superpower with a population of over one billion.
The country’s capital, Kamui, is the town where the headquarters of the Asian Union is located.
It is also the headquarters of the military, and is the city where the political, business and military leaders of the Asian Union gather.
It is a metropolis no less grand than Valhalla, the imperial capital of Asgard.
A girl was training at a military facility there.
This is a gym, a facility for physical strengthening.
Then a soldier calls out to her.
A man with long black hair, which is typical of Asians, is wearing his long black hair in a bun.
He is probably in his mid-20s.
“Are you pushing yourself today… you’re going to break down eventually, Kaguya.”
“Byakuren… it’s okay. If I don’t do this much, I won’t be strong.”
The girl has been on simulators, muscle training, and classroom learning since the morning.
She learns everything about every KOG and has already been doing so for more than half a year.
She has been trained to death.
“You are indeed a hardworking girl who was chosen as one of the Asian 13 Gods from a single soldier in just six months, I’m afraid. I’ve never seen you rest.”
“If you want to interrupt me, will you go back or will you take me on?”
The girl was doing physical training, lifting barbells heavier than she was.
If you ask me if it’s related to KOG, it is.
It is said that KOGs cannot do the moves that you cannot do, and in rare cases there are geniuses who are better at KOGs, but they are unique.
That is why the girl does not miss physical training.
Flexible limbs, a slim waist, a thin chopping board…
She does not miss combat training every day.
“If you want, I’ll always be your partner?”
“Yes, I would like that, then.”
“Of course I will, Princess.”
“I told you not to call me that.”
“It’s from a fairy tale from your country, Princess Kaguya. And I want to be a knight to protect you. I’m not an Asgardian.”
The girl recalls those words.
Her beloved thoughtful person who literally protected her at the risk of his life.
Even now, that feeling remains in Kaguya without fading away.
The strength of that feeling makes the flames of revenge burn more fiercely over the course of six months.
“…I’ve told you many times, but I can’t answer your feelings. I have someone I love.”
“Are you saying he’s a better man than this me, 13 God, the strongest?”
“Yes, a better man than you. At least he was stronger than me. And better than you.”
“Hahaha! You think there’s a man in the world I could beat? There is only one such man in the world?”
The young man is thinking of the largest country in the world.
The most powerful knight of the Asgard Empire.
After meeting him once on the battlefield, he realized.
He realized that this was a being on a higher stage than himself.
He even believed the rumor that he had reaped all 50 KOGs with only his sword.
Osiris Halberd, he was even convinced that there would never be another being that could surpass him forever.
“Well, then, let’s add one more person to the list.”
“…The past is always a beautiful thing, Kaguya, but you’ll choose me sooner or later.”
The young man looks at Kaguya with a haughty look on his face.
Kaguya senses that there is something in that face.
“…What do you want to say?”
“Huh. I have a good present for you. A present you’ve been dying to have… a present.”
“! What do you mean?
“No need to rush, Father will decide at today’s meeting, you’ll find out soon enough. So? Do you want to do it anyway?”
“Well, it will be decided at the world congress today. So, can you do it?”
” Yes, let’s get on the simulator.”
The girl and the man get into the simulator.
To date, she has never won, but she is competing against one of the strongest in the world, the result of an effort that could be described as insanity.
That’s why the girl says today.
“I’m going to win today!”
The flames of revenge are set ablaze.
