I'll kill you after I finish this game!

"Oh my, I never expected it to be you, Major."

The obese major, with the doctor wearing strangely made glasses behind him, was also taken aback when Rhodes revealed the true identity of the Black Knight, Magina.

He was a genius scientist who had been working alongside the major since World War II, responsible for research on immortality, the creation of artificial vampires, and the development of werewolf units. Naturally, he also knew a certain Tiger tank god of war who had been praised by the Führer.

The military honors the opposing side earned in the war were extremely high.

Iron Cross First Class, Iron Cross Second Class, Knight's Cross, Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves, Knight's Cross with Swords.

In the minds of the German people, Michael Wittmann absolutely deserves the title of 'hero'.

After all, the propaganda department of the Third Reich at that time had already portrayed him as a national hero, and his portrait was everywhere.

“Michel Wittmann, ah... what a name that’s hard to forget.”

This name is just as well-known throughout Germany as Reinhard Heydrich, which is why the major said it's a name he can't forget.

The major's eyes, hidden behind his glasses, held a hint of nostalgia for the past.

Michael Wittmann also died in his own tank, and he and his crew were hastily buried to the left of their Tiger tank without any markings.

The causes of death for the enemy were varied. In the major's memory, after Wittmann died in battle, the enemy simply buried him hastily.

However, regarding this "Naval Ace" who had once given him a major headache, all the countries within the enemy forces kept trying to "gild their own lily," claiming that they had blown up Wittmann.

However, on that battlefield filled with gunfire, it was impossible to find out who the "real culprit" was who killed Wittmann.

"However, the man behind this lovely Miss Fujii Ren, who is said to have died in the tank with Wittmann, is quite interesting." After regaining his senses, the major looked at the two confronting each other in the scene with great interest.

Especially the young man in German military uniform behind Fujii Ren; no one expected that he had such a connection with Wittmann.

The major could clearly see the unwavering will to die, or rather, the thirst for death in the eyes of the Black Knight, Magina.

Moreover, the Black Knight doesn't seem to be a member of the Thirteen Knights of the Holy Lance who is loyal to Reinhard.

Those who knew Makina said he was worthless, but the fat major didn't see it that way.

He only saw a hero who didn't want to become a demon constantly fighting at the edge of the cliff.

Compared to others, Makina, though powerful, was not a monster in the major's eyes, but a warrior with a human will within him.

The major currently has many monster members under his command who yearn for Reinhard Valhalla; they look forward to such an afterlife.

But the Black Knight didn't like that at all; he wanted peace.

This is the same desire of a certain undead king; they crave death, they crave rest.

Although I crave death, I would never commit suicide. Having fought so hard to live, I should not end up with a cowardly act of escapism.

Therefore, although the Black Knight has the appearance and power of a monster, from the Major's point of view, his inner self cannot be described as a monster, but rather as a hero.

.........

Back in the video, when Makina heard that familiar tone, a smile involuntarily crept onto his stiff lips.

Sure enough, it was his comrades who addressed him by his forgotten name, rather than others.

"Don't make people laugh by looking like this. There shouldn't be any women in my holy war in the first place, but since you're awake, it's fine no matter what."

Black Knight Magina looked at Rhodes, then at Fujii Ren, a hint of contempt and hidden anger flickering in his dead fish-like eyes.

This anger wasn't directed at the other person, but at some sleazy, lecherous person whose twisted sense of humor made him want to punch them in the face.

By turning his brother into a woman, Makina felt that Karl Craft was defiling his holy war.

"I am him, but he is not me. Please call me Fujii Ren if you wish!"

If it were anyone else's disdain, Fujii Ren wouldn't be angry at all. But it was this guy who had gone to the battlefield with her, fought alongside her, and died alongside her who was looking down on her, which made Fujii Ren extremely angry.

Just as she said, Rhodes is dead, and now she is Fujii Ren.

The girl can be Rhodes, but Rhodes cannot be Fujii Ren, that's the idea.

Rhodes Reichhardt chuckled and put his arm around Fujii Ren's shoulder, smiling as he said to the Black Knight:

"Just like the 'I' of now says, I was the dead person in the past, and she is the living person now."

"...Hmph, it's just a difference in personality."

Black Knight Magina snorted coldly upon hearing this. What do you mean by "dead before" and "alive now"? As long as our comrades are still here, that is what it means to be alive.

The only difference between the two of them is their personalities; it's just that Rhodes himself would never fight for control of his body.

Listening to the Black Knight Magina's disdain for women like Fujii Ren, Rhodes sensed Fujii Ren's anger, followed by a hint of malicious malice.

Neither of them distinguished themselves from the other, since they were both originally themselves. Therefore, Rhodes also realized that Fujii Ren wanted to do something to his former comrade-in-arms.

[Hey, hey, hey, if you keep messing with Makina like that, he'll definitely go berserk! Like a rat's stomach juice!]

[Hmph! Anyway, we're comrades-in-arms, and even more so, close friends who tease each other. I know a lot about male friendships. Originally, this thing was meant to prank Silang, but now it seems more suitable for him. Don't you want to see him embarrassed and furious?]

"Then you do it. I'm going to laugh at him properly and get revenge for him beating me to death."

Rhodes chose to build his happiness on his comrades' anger, between his own pleasure and that of his comrades, as a way of avenging the death of Magina.

Although he didn't hold a grudge against the other person at all, he simply wanted to see the other person make a fool of themselves and then laugh at them.

Fujii Ren wore a strange smile, looking at Makina in front of him and saying:

"It's not that I don't understand your persistence. Since we're going to fight, I can transform into a male form to satisfy your pickiness about male-on-male combat. Should I go easy on you a little, baby Makina? Let's fight as men~~~~"

As he spoke, a flash of blue light appeared on Fujii Ren's body, and he transformed into a male form.

This sudden change startled Makina for a moment. His first instinct was that it wasn't so bad; after all, seeing the face of a former comrade-in-arms was more comfortable than seeing a woman's face.

Although Makina didn't say it, he was actually very bothered by the gender of his comrades.

However, he failed to grasp the underlying malice in Fujii Ren's final words regarding 'same-sex'.

Just as the other party was subconsciously stunned by Fujii Ren's changed appearance, Fujii Ren revealed a sinister smile.

When the Black Knight Magina saw that familiar smile, he didn't sense any danger, but he did feel a very strange and ominous sense of familiarity.

What was it again? Ah, I remember now.

It's like when two boys live in the same dorm room and get to know each other, they might joke around and prank each other.

Rhodes and Magina had lived together in the same tank during the war, so they naturally had their share of jokes.

And now, the other party's malicious look is just like the way he used to add pepper to his tobacco when they smoked together.

"call out----!"

Maintaining its domineering creative power, it intensified under the influence of Fujii Ren's malice and anger. The heavy pressure of the slowing rule slammed directly onto Makina, causing his body to sink and the ground beneath his feet to collapse.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Makina, who had been through countless battles, immediately killed the domineering rule that was affecting him.

But at the same time, the figure of Fujii Ren, whose entire face was shrouded in shadow, stood behind him, and a blade like the wings of a demon slashed at him from behind.

"ridiculous!"

Thinking you can gain an advantage through such a sneak attack? That's incredibly naive.

Without turning his head, Makina raised his steel fist to parry the guillotine blade aimed at his head, then turned and delivered a simple, unadorned straight punch.

However, what met his fist was also the guillotine of Fujii Ren's right hand, but there was something else at the point where his fist collided with it.

Snap——!

It shattered, something like a vessel shattered, and Fujii Ren immediately seized the opportunity to sprinkle it, which was no different from water, on Makina.

It wasn't aggressive, and the liquid wasn't poison, but it caused the Black Knight Makina's expression to change drastically because of the changes happening to his body.

In an instant, his stubble-covered chin became smooth, his messy hair became soft and grew longer, and two perfectly rounded spheres bulged on the chest of his military uniform.

At this moment, the once-robust Makina has transformed into Makina.

At Skadi's house, this was the Nyanjui Izumi version of pepper spray that Fujii Ren got from Yoshino. Some horrible perverts would use this to spray the little guy.

According to Nanami's account to Fujii Ren, this thing is usually used by Skadi to punish men who are ignorant and insult women.

Men who fall into this category usually receive the same treatment as gay men, being punished in the same male form first, and then in the female form, such as being subjected to Omega-like degeneration.

Originally, she was planning to prank Shirou someday, but Fujii Ren decided to take action against her former comrade-in-arms.

So what if I'm a woman? Let me show you what it's like to be a woman!

"Hahahaha, pfft haha ​​...

Suddenly, Fujii Ren, who had distanced herself from the Black Knight, returned to her original form. Behind her, Rhodes burst into laughter, clutching his stomach, and mercilessly mocked the dark-faced woman in military uniform.

"Yo yo yo~~~, now that everyone's gender-neutral, I didn't expect you, Makina, to be so~ cute~ yay~"

Rhodes used the mocking tone of close friends to ridicule Magina mercilessly.

For a long time, the Black Knight Magina seemed to have rediscovered the anger he once felt as a living person, and the strong urge to beat up his bastard friend.

"Roddess---!!!"

Using the power of the end, he killed the creature that had affected his body and returned him to his original form. However, the power of the end could not kill the previous insults and mockery. With a blank expression and a dark face, Makina let out a roar that shook the universe.

Just as Rhodes had said to Ren Fujii before, he went berserk in a fit of rage.

This cause and effect, which pertains to past and present lives, should also be brought to a complete end.

P.S.: Rhodes Reichhart and Michel Wittmann are both historical figures; they were sworn brothers who rode in tanks together and died together...

Chapter Fifty: Flowing from the Gun, Three Battlefields

Makina and Rhodes, whose past lives were intertwined with karma, had three different lives in total.

The first time was as a human being, born in Germany. Rhodes' family was originally executioners, equivalent to the professional beheaders in ancient Eastern countries.

Makina was originally just the son of a farmer. He grew up and joined the army, where he met Rhodes, who had left his family, and the two became close comrades-in-arms.

If we were to say who Fujii Ren has a friend who truly understands him, it would undoubtedly be Yuza Shirou.

But in Rhodes's previous life, his close friend who understood him was Makina.

They went to the battlefield together, fought together, killed together, relied on each other to move forward, and in the end, they died together.

Therefore, Rhodes and Makina were closer than brothers.
