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

“Rhode-sama, how would you like the positions?”

A soldier asks Rhode as he looks at the monitor to which the map has been moved.

He is a formal commander who only communicates the Rhode’s intentions to the whole group, and his name is ‘Argo’.

He is a civilian officer with a fine beard, aged around 40.

He always conveys the Rhode’s will to the whole Rhode’s battlefield.

This also meant that he was a good commander, but with his own strong wishes.

He was trembling with joy.

Serving the royal family is called one of the greatest and most prestigious jobs in the Empire.

But he is not so religious.

Of course he is loyal to the Empire. But what moves him more than that is his faith, what could be called a delusional belief in the Rhode

–Ah, to be able to see the Rhode-sama battles again, which I haven’t been able to see for a long time… it’s great, how happy I am!

He was excited.

The first time he saw Rhode’s war strategy was in the EU.

The war, which had already lasted five years, had reached a stalemate.

A decorated imperial war Rhode was deployed there, or so he thought.

A child, not even ten years old, taking command. I thought he was playing hooky with the war.

After suffering a painful defeat, he would probably entrust the command to me.

If I failed, they would even put the blame on me.

Argo met Rhode in such a depressing atmosphere.

However, his perception soon changed.

~Recollection Rhode’s first battle.

“Alpha to point A-21, Bravo to A-32.”

“! …… but there is no enemy there?”

“There are, there’s an ambush there. Yes, 8. No, 10.”

Enemies and allies projected on the map.

Allies are of course all informed, and the five units are called Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, and Echo.

The enemy is unknown. Only what can be seen is recorded.

-Hmph, what do you expect a ten-year-old kid to know, even if he’s a member of the royal family?

Argo swore in his heart.

He felt a little resentful that the battle he was supposed to be leading had been taken away from him by the power of the royal family.

Rhode’s peculiar origins meant that as a member of the imperial family, he had little loyalty from the military.

The emperor had a child with a second-class citizen. A child who was not even recognized at first. But the emperor changed his mind and recognized him.

Populist royalty.

Perhaps because of this, Rhode was soon sent to the battlefield.

Argo took the liberty of thinking that he was an imperial family member who was expected to die on the battlefield at the drop of a hat.

“Understood, troops, as instructed!”

For the moment, the authority to command rested with this boy.

So I decided to follow, that boy’s whims.

In any case, he would probably come crying to me later, whimpering that it wasn’t my fault.

With that feeling, I sighed.

“This is Alpha! Enemy shadow confirmed! Engaging!”

“What the hell!”

But that fantasy becomes reality.

“This is Bravo! Alpha is engaged, I’ll cover you! I think I can get behind it!”

“Oh, I see. ……”

Within minutes, a 10-unit EU KOG force was destroyed.

They had been lurking as an ambush, and then suddenly the battle started. Plus they were hit from behind with double the force, and were destroyed in an instant.

“Uh, good job, …….”

–coincidence? That’s absurd. Why? Do you know information about the enemy?

Argo listens to Rhode’s instructions one after the other under such speculation.

All of those instructions were quick, perfect, and complete.

“Impossible ……”.

Before long, the battle line collapsed and the enemy base was in front of them.

Surrounded by all the troops, the enemy forces surrendered easily.

“This is Delta! We have taken over the enemy’s main camp! The enemy has surrendered. What do we do now?”

“Tell them to treat them politely as prisoners of war. Argo.”

“Yes, sir!”

After a month of stalemate, the front ends in victory in a single day.

A series of victories, uninterrupted, all battles won.

It was as if he knew the enemy’s position. The enemy’s plans.

Rhode’s instructions as if he knew everything about the battlefield.

The delusion that all the targets were right in this battle is called the confirmed future, which is later called the future vision.

The EU has never been able to do anything to change Rhode’s vision of a definite future of victory.

This battle was the beginning.

The demonic brain that determined the winner of the ten-year-long war, later known as the EU War.

The battle that was the beginning of the most feared imperial family in the world, the Rhodes Asgar.

“I’ll take some rest, you take care of the rest, Argo.”

“Ha!”

Argo saluted straight away.

Before long, I find myself without any anger towards the Rhode.

With heartfelt respect and awe, he saluted politely, as if he were looking at the emperor.

At this moment, Argo trembled at Rhode’s strategy and insights.

He felt as if he had seen the peak of perfection to which a commander should aspire.

And the way he treated prisoners of war so politely, he even felt like a gentleman.

I even felt that I could respect him as a human being, a boy of just 10 years old.

He was a boy who was about the same age as my own child, but one or two years older.

“Then, report on the damage to each unit!”

Argo will conduct post-war processing.

I had to defend the base we had occupied from now on, so I thought I’d ask about the status of each unit.

“This is Alpha! Damage status is none! As long as we replenish ammunition and KOG energy, we will have no problem with continued combat!”

“Right! Well done, excellent.”

–It’s great to see a unit with no damage in a battle of this magnitude!

It was a great battle, with some wounds, and ammunition replenishment, but no casualties.

Argo thought that the unit commander should be rewarded for this.

Thinking that the unit had been excellent, Argo paled at the next report.

“This is Bravo, no casualties here at—either!”

“What the hell?”

“This is Delta–this one too–no casualties…”

“What?”

“This is Charlie! Zero casualties!”

“No way.!!!”

“Echo is also casualty free…”

The units report casualty reports one after the other.

But in all units, no casualties, no fatalities.

This could not and should not have happened on battlefields Argo had seen.

It is like winning a chess game without giving a single shot.

You have to aim to do it, and Argo can’t even imagine how difficult it is.

I know that it is impossible without a difference in level, like a chess match between a professional and an amateur.

But the opponent’s commander must also be a skilled commander, not an amateur who has endured a month until now.

In other words, Rhode’s strength is at that level.

Argo shuddered.

He thought that Rhode, whom he thought was amazing enough, was not an existence that he and others could measure up to.

It must have been from that moment on.

Like a fanatic, like a believer in a guru.

I began to worship Rhode as if he were a god.

“Yes, let’s surround them slowly. Just keep points B to C open. Gather that to point E.”

“May I ask what your intentions are?”

“I’m not a pleasure killer. I’ll at least give the civilians a chance to escape. I’ll make them third-class citizens once the battle with the resistance is over, though.”

“Ha! I admire your merciful decision!”

Argo conveys Rhode’s intentions.

The meaning of opening a certain area is Rhode’s mercy, to let them escape the battlefield.

The resistance that holds the sin of killing Yumir needs to be exterminated. But the Rhode has no intention of killing mere civilians.

But the real meaning is something else.

And a slow and sure defeat, as if tightening with cotton wool, enveloped Kenya and the others.

***

“Isshin-san! Already… the whole slum is surrounded…”

“Evacuate!”

“Is the evacuation going well? I don’t know, but the evacuation is progressing!”

The military personnel who are guiding the evacuation receive a radio call that the evacuation is progressing without any problems.

“I see…”

–Trap? But I have heard that the second prince is a personality. Is it on purpose…? But did he kill the Princess? Kenya-kun said she escaped, but eh! I have no idea! But.

“Then we’ll use all our forces to break through the single point. Evacuation will probably not be a problem!”

–If the imperial family called Rhode, or something is as rumored… then evacuation is no problem.

“Understood!”

Isshin’s instructions were precise.

He was also an excellent commander, a fierce general in the Japanese army who had overcome the line of death many times.

He gives the best instructions at this moment, and the enemy is positioned to surround us in all directions.

Then, the only way forward is by breaking through from a single point with brute force.

Kenya and the others make an attempt to break through from a single point under instructions.

It was the best and quickest decision.

However, it is precisely because it was the best.

“Why… are there so many enemies only here…”

There is no escape from Rhode’s future vision.
