Chapter 15

-KANPAI!!!

Late that night.

The mission had ended in success, and the soldiers were in high spirits.

You see that! This is our power!

Were going to take back Japan!

Invaders, wash your heads and wait for us!

They were drunk and high on alcohol.

They had never had a victory like this before, so today was an overwhelming victory for them.

Hey, Isshin-san!

Ah..

Kaguya-chan! Wheres your husband?

Hes not my husband! He is but where is he?

What? Hes the star of the show today, come on find him! Lets have a drink together!

You know, were still minors, Well, it doesnt matter now. Theres no law to judge us.

Then Isshin gets up and leaves the room.

Kaguya followed silently, as his behaviour was a little strange.

He should be more lively than anyone else at a time like this.

***

There you are.

This is the warehouse where the KOG was stored.

A boy was sitting there, staring at the KOG.

The warehouse is open, and the moon is visible.

Isshin-san.

Come hang out with me for a bit.

Isshin lifts two cups of sake and a cup and smiles.

Kaguya watched from behind the KOG.

Ive never had a drink, you know?

What, just a sip, you can pretend to drink. These things are all about formalities.

Sake is then poured into a cup given to him.

After the sake was poured, Kenya also poured a small amount of sake and toasted it lightly.

Its bad ugh

Kaguya said the same thing. You guys are still chickens

Time passed slowly for a while.

But strangely, there was no feeling of awkwardness.

In fact, I felt a sense of relief, or perhaps I should say, a nostalgic sense, of Isshins generosity.

It was as if he was my father.

Thank you for today.

Glad I could help.

Yeah, but what about you? Are you happy?

If everyone is happy

Kenya stopped his words.

To tell you the truth, I dont feel happy about this victory, either.

But you do care, dont you? Is this your first time killing someone?

Yes.

He was hit by what he was thinking.

Kenya was worried that he had killed. Isshin had noticed since that communication.

That feeling is normal, Ive already killed quite a lot, but if its an enemy you dont feel anything anymore. Or perhaps its more correct to say that Ive tried not to feel.

He is not happy that he killed, but if he were in the same situation again, he would kill again.

Something became clear and convincing to Kenya.

As a result, the tension unwinds, and he sleeps.

Hahaha, this is a long way off to go Kaguya, youre here, arent you?

Na, why!

Then Kaguya, who had been hiding, emerges.

Her face was dyed red to a colour that even Isshin had never seen before.

Seeing this, Isshin laughs.

Kuu, this is alcohol! Its because of the alcohol!

Kaguya desperately tries to hide her face.

Her hands look up at her face, but it is so red that it looks as if it might catch fire.

Dont worry, Kenya-kun is asleep. Come over here and change.

He leaves Kenya, who is leaning over wholeheartedly, in Kaguyas care.

You take care of the rest, Ill be back. Weve got to give them a boost. Weve just won.

Kenya sleeps on Kaguyas lap.

He fell asleep with a red face, unconscious due to alcohol.

At least get a reward today, O Samurai of Japans Hope.

Isshin left the place as it was.

He sent the boy a word that means samurai or protector if you trace the etymology of the word.

Kaguya and Kenya were left behind.

Really, I dont understand you. Why do you like me so much?

Kaguya, who was listening to the whole conversation, recalls being given a line that made her teeth curl so much that she felt like she was going to lose control of her embarrassment.

It was the first time anyone of a different sex had ever said to me that they loved me.

I had never had a fulfilling experience in my youth.

She had never even been in love, but now she cant take her eyes off this boy.

I cant stop thinking about the boy who told me straight away that he loves me.

I dont even know what this feeling is.

What I do know is that.

Youre a real.. Weirdo. But.

I stroked the hair of the boy sleeping on my lap.

Thank you for today, for fighting with all of us .

A feeling of gratitude for him.

And the way my heart pounds and my face is on fire, so much so that the boy sleeping on my lap may hear it.

The light of the full moon, which seems to descend on Kaguya and Kenya. Illuminates them.

The KOG behind them is also faintly illuminated.

Today, the mere gamer has truly become a samurai with something to protect.

By being firmly aware of this, their hearts will change greatly.

From now on, the world that was enjoying temporary peace will move into a turbulent era.

What his role as an irregular in this world is, no one knows yet.

One thing we do know is that there is only one uncompromising desire.

Protect the heroines.

This became the single core supporting Kenyas reasons for action and the single pillar supporting justice he believes in.

Goodnight Kenya

The Samurai, who now merely sleep, do not yet know the ruin that the success of this operation calls for.

They had no real understanding of what it meant to make enemies of the rulers of the world.

TL Notes~

Hah, Finally caught up.
