Chapter 27 - Chapter 27

["Ayaka? What are you doing here?"]

[Kamisato Ayaka tells you that ever since you joined the Resistance, the Yashiro Commission has been secretly supporting them. This time, she received intel that you'd been gravely injured in battle and fell into a coma, so she rushed over immediately.]

[You look at her, your expression complicated. "Ayaka, you don't have to go this far for me..."]

["No, Kael, I did all this of my own will. You have things you want to do, and I have mine. Taking care of you... that's what I want to do."]

[Her words move you deeply. Unable to help yourself, you pull Ayaka into your arms.]

["Kael... the Yashiro Commission isn't what it used to be. It's all thanks to the intel you gave us. My brother and I both hope you'll return to the Kamisato Clan. The Commission now... can protect you."]

[Kamisato Ayaka looks at you with pleading eyes. "Kael, please come back, okay? War is too cruel. I'm afraid next time... I might truly lose you."]

[Faced with Kamisato Ayaka's plea, you choose...]

[1. Accept her request. You're tired—tired of seeing so many lives lost every day.]

[2. Refuse her. Your dream hasn't been realized yet. Raiden Shogun's army hasn't been overthrown. You can't leave just yet.]

"Obviously going with 2."

Faced with those two options, Kael didn't hesitate in the slightest.

Right now, Kamisato Ayaka had completely replaced his position, becoming the new face of the Yashiro Commission. If he went back now, his role would be awkward at best.

No way he was going to live off her like some pampered househusband.

Besides, he had already joined the Resistance and earned a certain level of status and say in it—not to mention comrades who had fought and bled alongside him.

Any way you looked at it, staying in the Resistance made more sense.

[You tell Ayaka that you won't return until your ideals have been realized.]

[You gently pat Kamisato Ayaka on the head. "I heard you've been doing great in the Yashiro Commission lately, and even awakened your Vision. Keep it up, okay?"]

[Your words make Ayaka's tears flow even more freely.]

[Kamisato Ayaka eventually leaves the Resistance base alone.]

[Though the battle between the Resistance and the Tenryou Commission ended in a brutal defeat, your fearless stance in the face of Kujou Sara left a lasting impression on many.]

[Your prestige reaches an all-time high.]

[Sangonomiya Kokomi, sensing the will of the troops, promotes you to General of Watatsumi Island, equal in rank to Gorou.]

[Now, you're shouldering the fate of multiple squads and bearing even greater responsibilities.]

[You begin to think about what you must do to lead the Resistance to victory.]

[You re-establish contact with Yoimiya, asking her to help you produce gunpowder and bring it to the battlefield.]

[In this world, only a few are favored by the gods and granted a Vision.]

[Most soldiers on the battlefield... are just ordinary people.]

[But that gunpowder? It's more than enough to deal with enemy foot soldiers.]

[The Vision-holders on the enemy side now find themselves restrained, constantly having to protect their comrades from explosions.]

[Your strategy soon bears fruit. In the following battles, you lead multiple squads and achieve consecutive victories.]

[The name of the White Crane Young Master spreads across Inazuma once again.]

[Your prestige within the Resistance now even surpasses that of Sangonomiya Kokomi and Gorou.]

[The Resistance is a force made up mostly of ordinary people. And you—who don't even possess a Vision—led them to one victory after another.]

[To these soldiers, you are the true hero in their hearts!]
