Chapter 17

Two Irregulars

Hi, Im glad youre here, Kenya-kun, and Kaguya-kun and Reina-kun.

Immediately afterwards, Kenya, and Kaguya kneeled.

Reina also lowers her head, as if bowing.

I thought I told you that it wasnt necessary on campus?

The three of them looked up at these words.

Reina asks with a look of surprise on her face.

Your Highness Rhode, why are you here?

Even Reina, who is usually emotionless, was indeed agitated by this.

It was unusual for Rhode to appear alone without even an escort, even if it was inside the school.

I heard some students were practising after school, so I came to see how you were doing. Dont mind me, just carry on.

But

Dont worry, Im just a bit curious. I dont discriminate, just because youre a second class. Im of the principle that Ill use whats available.

Huh?

Kaguya is surprised by these words.

Kaguya does not understand what those words mean.

I know that there are some Asgardians who are against discrimination.

They say it is inhumane, but they are all regulated and suppressed.

But the being in front of them now is the top of the empire.

He said that whether it was a second class or not, he would not discriminate against it if he could use it.

A member of the royal family criticises the emperor?

Do you not believe a word I just said?

Rhode then approached Kenya.

And held out his right hand.

In your culture, it should be your right hand, shouldnt it?

What he asks for is a handshake.

Kenya understood this.

Kenya also knows Rhodes persona form game.

He has an anti-discrimination philosophy that is unbecoming of a member of the royal family.

However, he performs his role as a member of the royal family and achieves remarkable results in wars.

Kenya didnt know what he was like from the setting alone.

Nor does he know anything about his aims.

All he knows is that he is a formidable strategist.

Would you regret holding that hand?

Youll be the judge of that one day. Well, its a bloody hand, thats all I can say.

Rhode chuckles.

He knows there is more to that fearless smile than meets the eye.

However, Kenya holds his hand.

He does not know what taking this hand will lead to.

But to Kenya, Rhode didnt seem like a bad guy.

In the game, he remains as a mysterious boy in the veil, and he doesnt even know what kind of person he is.

Kuu!

Innocent eyes like a puppys, an upward glance that should have been unintentional.

Kenya, who unknowingly almost dies of a heart attack and suppresses his heart, people die of respect.

Kenya, an otaku at full throttle, looks at Reina and gets all dere-dere.

Kaguya sees this with pout.

What are you flirting with her for! You said you liked me!

Kaguya becomes frustrated by Kenya flirting with other women.

She is already annoyed with Kenya, who is getting pampered not only by Reina but also by the other Japanese girls in her class and is getting dere-dere with them.

-Why the hell is this pissing me off?

I get annoyed when I see him getting along with other womens.

Its like.

-Lies Am I jealous?

Ive noticed Kenya, who is still getting on well with Reina.

Th-This is jealousy.

Kaguya? Whats wrong?

Huh! Of course not! Idiot!

Eee

He talks to Kaguya, who is trembling and acting strangely.

However, abuses are suddenly thrown at him, abuses that have no context.

Im used to Kaguyas abuse, but recently weve become good friends and I thought she was close to being Dere.

Okay. Then lets go Reina.

And that day, after finishing the simulator practice, Reina and Kenya were about to head to the Sylphide house.

The two of them walk side by side and Kaguya watches them from behind.

Suddenly, I realized.

Hmm? Kaguya? What is it?

Huh?

She held the sleeves of Kenyas clothes.

It was as if she was telling him not to go.

When Kenya noticed and called her, Kaguya realizing what she had done, her face turned bright red.

Wow, its different! Idiot, pervert! And die!

Gwah!

Kaguya notices these feelings.

She curses him in embarrassment, pushes him away, and runs away from the scene.

-What is this? I dont like it already.

Just thinking about Kenya makes my heart ache.

I ran away desperately, trying not to let him see my bright red face.

Even the tears flow a little, but even Kaguya notices when that happens.

It cant be. It cant be, that Im such a pervert

And yet you still cant admit it, is it pride?

Its impossible for me to like him!!!

Even though she can no longer think of anything but Kenya helplessly against her will.
