—“Isshin-san, everything will be decided today.”
“Ah. Genbu-san said it’s almost decided. Now we just have to hope for the best.”
Same facility.
The Japanese, including Kaguya and Isshin, gather.
In the past six months, Isshin and his men have established a firm position in the Asian Union as the former Japanese Army.
Kaguya’s achievements are significant, and she has grown into such an ace pilot that she was chosen as one of the 13 strongest in the Asian Union.
Therefore, only Kaguya is allowed to live in this military facility in the capital city of Kamui.
As a corollary, Isshin and his men, Amaterasu, have also been established as the Japanese military of the Asian Union.
“If it is decided… will there be another war?”
“Ah, I’ll go and get Kaguya.”
With that, Isshin heads to Kaguya’s room.
***
Dimly lit room.
“Ah… nnn… Kenya… Kenya… ahgg…”
Alone, the girl closes her eyelids and thinks of the boy.
The only time in the girl’s day that is just for herself.
Lying on the bed, with tears in her eyes, she was still happy for that time.
Because she could only think of the person she loved.
“Mmm! ……Ahh… I did it again… no good, me.”
Still, I always feel a little self-loathing.
Knock-knock.
Then I hear a knock on the door.
Kaguya jumps up from her bed.
“Kaguya… are you there?”
“Oh, Dad! Wait, wait a minute!”
In Kaguya’s panicked voice, Isshin waits in front of the door for a while.
“I’m sorry. What?”
“What, you look so red. Were you training in your room?”
“Uh, yes! Yeah, a bit. I’m not doing enough.”
“I see…”
Isshin then pats Kaguya on the head.
“Don’t be too hard on yourself, I know how you feel so well.”
Even Isshin has deeply engraved in his heart the boy he couldn’t save that day.
That’s why he has been working day and night to take back Japan.
“Yeah… so? What’s wrong?”
“You understand, don’t you, Genbu-san? Byakuren-kun’s father’s.”
“Yeah, we’ve met a few times. He’s the head of Chūbu, so I know that much.”
Genbu is a politician and the head of the country of Chūbu.
His age is the same as Isshin’s, but he is the father of the strongest warrior in Asia named Byakuren.
No, you could say that it was because he was a father that he was able to produce the masterpiece that is Byakuren.
“Ah, including that Genbu-san, we have an important meeting now. I’ll be attending, but would you like to be there too?”
“An important meeting? Is it urgent, or is it the meeting that Byakuren was talking about?”
“Yes, it was originally planned, but it was suddenly decided yesterday. You know, too, that the Imperial Sword and Warfare Festival of Asgard and the battle to decide the next emperor has begun.”
“…Yeah.”
“No matter which one of them becomes emperor, a world war could start. For our part, though, we can only hope it’s not Rhode Asgard. So it’s now.”
A genius who has been called the devil’s brain and nearly destroyed the EU.
It is a common understanding outside of Asgard that they hope to avoid that.
“Okay. I’ll go.”
Kaguya and Isshin then attend the meeting.
As the representatives of Japan, as told by Genbu.
***
A huge conference room, like the Japanese parliament.
In the center is a huge monitor, and around it sit the representatives of the countries of the Asian Union.
This is the final decision-making chamber of the Asian Union.
Isshin and his team enter a slightly smaller room next to the large conference room.
They have a brief meeting there first.
“Have you come, Kurokami? Ah, you’re with us, Kaguya-kun?”
“Yes, because it would be better for me to listen to today’s meeting.”
“Ah, since you are the parties. It’s about time they got there. We’ll talk about the main issues here first, and then ask them to come to the next meeting room.”
“Yes, sir.”
Next to Isshin and the others sits a mature man in his mid-fifties.
He is not a military man, but a politician with a flabby body.
But his eyes are slender and seemingly kind, with the sharpness of the head of the Asian Union.
The name of this man, who looks as calm and gentle as a tortoise, is Genbu.
After a while, the door opens.
A wide variety of hair colors appear.
However, black is the only exception, and they greet each other.
“Nice to meet you, members of the Asian Union. I am Camille, representative of the European Union. Now, let’s begin! Today is a historic day! Because.”
Everyone in the Asian Union turns to look at her, smiling and shining her glasses.
“Because the biggest state in the world is about to be born!”
It was the EU delegation.
