Author's preface (paraphrased): Apparently he posted this chapter on April Fool's the year before, and has started a series now.


=================
=================



"Motoyasu-san, _____-san or me, who do you really like!?"

"Uh... Erm... Ah, phone's ringing gotta go!"



I turned around and ran from _____-chan who had confessed her love for me.



"Ah, Motoyasu-san!"



It's cause I truly do like you just as much as her... But I just can't bring myself to decide.

... We were gonna have a real talk tonight at my place.

_____ is my friend and I just... can't bring myself to hate her.

But still, ____ didn't mean anything bad when she teased _____-chan.

Everyone else got the wrong idea and it became a case of cruel harrassment and, chatting with girls, going on dates, isn't that what anyone can do?



I just want everyone to get along. I can't stand bullying.

So I meant to tackle this problem head first and just fix things.

But how come it turned into this?



So I have to date either... My friend _____, or _____ the sheltered mademoiselle?



My friend _____

Mademoiselle ____ ←



But then, I want to be with my friend _____ too.

I'm currently in 3rd year of University, and in all these years, I've dated many girls.

And I'm aware that out of those, I'm in my most complicated relationship situation to date.

Why are these girls that are close to me, so much trouble?

But the really worrying thing is how I'm not being able to run from it.



I had a lot of fun playing online games back in highschool.

The one who got me into those was a girl too... I ended up getting hooked more than her.



"Am I being too selfish to want all of us to be together and happy...?"



What's bad about my friend _____ is that, though she's outgoing, she's really pushy.

She'd come to my place like a busy-body wife and start cleaning up... but then she'd throw away some things on her own.

Later, when I'd go to _____'s room, I'd find the stuff she said she'd thrown away, and when I asked, she said stuff like it'd be wasteful so she kept it.

On the other hand, mademoiselle _____-san would coincidentally happen to be in the same places I frequently went to...

It... wasn't like she was pushing her ideal image onto me, but I felt like I was being followed to close.

After lectures ended that day, I finished my date with the girl I hit on the other day, and was on my way home.



And... as I neared the apartment building where I rented a place alone, I heard some noise coming from my unit.



"This is Motoyasu-kun's place, why are *you* here!"

"I could asking you the same! _____-san!"



I hear sounds of things being broken.

I quickly open the door.

And there, the two girls were already in a full-blown cat-fight.



"Aren't you rich, _____? You should have lots of other men waiting on you then! Just leave Motoyasu alone!"

"Motoyasu-san is my one true love! He is my prince charming! He won't be truly happy being with you!"

"That isn't for *you* to decide!"

"Stop it already, you two!"



I enter into the fray and separate them.



"Motoyasu-san!?"

"Motoyasu!"



Looks like they calmed down after finally noticing that I was here.



"Motoyasu-san, please tell it to _____-san too! That you and I are in a relationtion"

"Bull shit! Motoyasu's going out with me!"



Jesus christ! These two're still going at it!

You can't take all your girlfriends on a group date either!

Girls have to be given happiness equally!



"I'll give it to you straight alright. I can't just choose any one person to date right now. I don't even want to think about it"

"You can't..."



_____-san was at a loss for words and took a couple steps back.

As for _____, as if enraged from a sudden realization, she went to the kitchen, and brought back a knife.



"What are you trying to do? Stop it!"

"It's all *you're* fault Motoyasu! You're making me do this! So I'll—"



And then, _____ dashed with the knife, aiming it towards _____-san.

I was fully focused on not getting stabbed, in a posture to take away the knife from her—

I feel something pierce through me from the side.



"Eh..."



When I turn to see, _____-san had stabbed me with a blade.[Note 1]
=================
*Note 1:  So the friend has a kitchen knife and the mademoiselle has a... stabby knife? Well it's a normal knife. So anyway, I made it <blade> to differentiate.
=================

Along with intense pain, an unbelievable volume of red liquid floods out from within my body.



"*Aha*... No doubt you *just* came back from a date with another girl right? I understand now. If you are to get stolen by ______-san or someone else, I'd rather kill you and then die as well. Let us meet again in heaven, ***<ahahahahahahahahaha>***!"



_____-san whisked away her blade like a broken doll.



"___, help m—"



I feel tremendous heat from the wound, and my strength is quickly draining away.

I desparately beg _____ for help.

When I do, she rushes towards me with an empty expression.

And quickly stabs me in the chest with her knife.



"—"



I scream with no sound.

My body shivers as more and more blood gushes out.

All the heat from my body is escaping out, and the intense heat I feel is gradually turning to cold.



"*I'm* the one who's gonna be together with Motoyasu in heaven! You can just die over there and go to hell!"

"*You* are the one going to hell!"

"Oh really? I'm the one who killed Motoyasu see?"

"He is still alive! Motoyasu-san, please wait just a moment. I will give you release right now"



Then, _____-san faces her blade towards my throat and—



"Don't get in my way! *I'll* be the one eternally bonded to Motoyasu!"

"Surely you are no match for me!?"



The two girls resumed their fight, now with knives.

I touch a trembling hand to my chest, and raise it into the empty air as my vision fades.



Am I— gonna die?

Why... Why the hell did it have to be this way.

I just... Wanted to get along and have fun with everyone!

I have to have faith in girls... That's right.



The _____ I know would never do this, and _____-san is such a gentle girl.

I didn't have enough faith in their love for me.

I should've told them much sooner.

That I have a lot of girl friends.

That everyone trusts me, and will keep trusting me.

That I'll trust them too so let's live happily.



It was a failure. It was my failure.

Failure...



If, if I ever had a next time, I'll believe.

All girls are angels, so it was my fault for not believing in them.



All this... is something that happened before I went to the world I thought was Emerald Online.



A lot happened after that.



My name is Kitamura Motoyasu.

I'm the Hero of the Spear who will save the world, and who swore to protect Firo-tan and the Filorial.[Note 2]
=================
*Note 2:  Quick note, I'll use Filorial as the plural too. like fish.
=================

But then—.



"GUHAAAA!?"



My HP went to 0 with a gaping hole in my chest.

I wanted a final look at her face, but that never happened and my eyes grew hazy... My consciousness was drifting far away.

*Ahh*... This should be my second time dying, but it isn't a fun ride in the leasr.

Now that I think back, why did I always get so worked up about those self-centered pigs anyway?



I came to this world by getting stabbed by a couple of pigs too.

In those days... That's right, I had two girls I really liked, but I kept stressing myself while sitting on the fence.

Not liking my indicisive attitude, one of the girls I liked started cruelly harrassing the other, and when I saved the latter, that girl wanted to then monopolize me... In the end, both of those selfish women took blades in hand and attempted a forced double suicide with me.



Which one was it that stabbed me first?

Totally forgot.

Stupid pigs. I don't even remember their faces.



I'd rather talk about Firo-tan.



That wonderful angel.

I was thinking naive stuff like wanting to make a real harem in this world. In this world resembling a game I knew, and where all the girls were really eager to get along with me. She was the one who beat me straight, and corrected my wrong attitude.

Every time I was walking around with girls, she would charge in and kick me flying. That was totally her thinking for me!



Ultimately, neither my game knowledge nor my experience with women resulted in anything useful. But meeting Firo-tan truly made feel reborn!

That accursed Bitch decieved Father-in-law, and without knowing any better, I was strung along to make an enemy of him too. But in time, Father-in-law had raised Firo-tan... He let me meet the love of my life.



This happened a lot more. I had made a bunder and released the seal on the Spirit Turtle, throwing the world into a lot more chaos.

The ever-deluded me only kept chasing after those deserting pigs, and wanted to make amends.

After that... One I realized my role of a pierrot(clown), I became depressed. This is where Firo-tan came and cheered me up!



Told me to cheer up she did!



I can never forget that face.

From then on, I fought wanting to save the world, if only for the sake of Firo-tan and the Filorial.

And if this is how it ends... I'm satisfied no matter what the end result may be.



But well... Yeah, saying that wouldn't be quite true.

I wanna see more of Firo-tan's smile. I wanna stay with the Filorial.

I don't just wanna die!



"<Ohh...>"[Note 3]


=================
*Note 3:  From around here, I'll be copying some stuff from ch2 of shield hero found (http://swordandgame.blogspot.ca/2014/09/the-rising-of-shield-hero-volume-1_8.html)[Here].
=================

I saw in front of me a group of men in robes were staring mutely in my direction.



"What the?"

"Huh?"



As for who's voice that was, it was Ren's, I think.

A dream? It looks completely the same as the time I was summoned to this world.

There's even a magic circle under us, making it currently, the exact moment we were summoned.



"This is, where exactly?"



Ren is talking to one of the castle's mages.

These are my memories of that day... Must be.

Nostalgic. It's the day where everything started.



"O honorable Heroes! Please, save this world!"

"""Excuse me?"""



Father-in-law, Ren and Itsuki all voiced in unison.

Oh yeah, didn't I do this together with them—...

This revolving lantern's getting pretty realistic.



Let's give the Status menu a try.



... My basic stats, wait huh? They're higher than I remember.

Hey, what's going on with the spear?





+++++++++++++++++
<Minute Hand of the Dragon's Era> 0/300 LR

All Abilities Unlocked... Equipment Bonus: Ability <Time Leap>

Exclusive Effect: Diverging World

+++++++++++++++++



*What* is with this spear?

I'll check out the Weapon Book too.

All the spears I remember are in there. But there's even some I've never seen but... Can't seem to switch into them.



What's going on?

My Lv is higher than I remember too, seriously what?

And what's with that Equipment Bonus, what's Time Leap mean?

Father-in-law taught me how game knowledge won't be useful to me so... huh? He taught me that? I can't really remember.



Let' see... I remember up till where Firo-tan came and cheered me up, but after that it's like everything's covered in fog. I can't seem to remember.

But there *is* something I remember.



My feeling towards Firo-tan and the Filorial, a feeling of eternal love!



Is it a dream? Or is it that by some sheer force of luck, I recieved powers that allowed me to leap back in time? I don't know, but I do know what I have to do. I will firght for the world!



"Hm?"



Ren and Itsuki are looking at me.

And then...



"You get where we're coming from, right?"

"Keep in mind that depending on your answer we might have to become your enemies"



Ren and Itsuki spoke the same words I once said.

Father-in-law was sort of making a face as if he felt outclassed.



"P-Please, at least have an audience with the king before you do anything rash. You can discuss the details of your compensation there"



The representative of the castle mages opened the door and started leading us there.



"Well, I guess that's that"

"Seems like it"

"Come, let us be off"



I hold out a hand to Father-in-law.



"A-alright"



Father-in-law's face somehow seems more bright, or I should say, more juvenile.

Like he's very pure, it feels like.

I wonder if he'll give me his daughters hand if I ask now?

... Wait a second. If I really did get sent back to the past, doesn't that means Father-in-law hasn't even raised Firo-tan yet!?

As I was thinking, we entered the throne room.

Ah, there's Trash.



"Ho, so these are the Heroes of old"



The man kept gawking at us.

Gone senile already?

This is the bastard that made Father-in-law live through a lot of suffering...



"I am the king of this country, Aultcray Melromarc the 32nd. Raise your heads, Heroes"



Oh yeah, he had a name like that. Totally forgot.

I wonder what was going through my head back then? I think I was internally having a blast that I got a trip into a parallel world, and after learning about the System and everything, I got ever more thrilled.

Ah, looks like he's explaining the Waves.

Actually Waves are... what? I can't remember.

Strange. I *do* seem to recall that it was a very serious problem.

Is it a side-effect of time leaping? Maybe, it really is. The memories of my date with Firo-tan aren't all there!?



"Well, it's true we have no obligation to help you. And suppose we do save the world, only to get sent home empty-handed after all our hard work? I also want to ask how exactly we're supposed to get back, care to give an answer?"

"Urk..."



And with Father-in-law's words I get back to the scene.

I was thinking so much, I didn't hear anything they said.

But that doesn't matter right now. It's stuff I remember, probably.

More importantly, it's about the dissappearance of my memories with Firo-tan that I would've taken with me all the way to the grave.

How do I get those back?

HM? On second thought, instead of remembering, I just need to make new memories.

I'm a genius.



"Oi..."



Father-in-law softly pokes at me with an elbow.



Eh? What is it?



"We're doing introductions"

"Ah right, my name is Kitamura Motoyasu, I'm twenty..."



How old was I again?

Wait, maybe right now I'm 21 years old in body too?



"20 years old?"

"No, I'm 21"

"Occupation?"

"Love Hunter"

"Ha?"



I fight for the sake of winning Firo-tan's heart. Thus, I have already thrown aside the worthless title of Spear Hero.



"So, unemployed"



Itsuki adds.

Say whatever you want.

You just cannot confine my love-filled days spent with Firo-tan with a simple job.



"Hmm. Ren, Motoyasu, and Itsuki, eh?"

"You forgot about Father-<in-laaaAAAAAAAAAAAW>!"

"*Nhu!?*"



You specifically forgot about Father-in-law's name! That reminds me, this Trash is that pig's father!

You'll pay for this.
