Chapter 7: Brain.exe stopped working
While Maria was preparing for the exams at the academy, she couldn't even imagine the problems were coming.
Suddenly, a beautiful girl with snow-white hair, fox ears, and nine tails burst into the room.

-Who are—
-It doesn't matter! Astro… there is something wrong with him!
Throwing all her affairs, Maria ran after the white-haired girl. As they approached the house, it exploded.
A huge pillar of fire shot up into the sky. In the center of this pillar was Astro, whose body was constantly burning. His regeneration barely kept with the pace of the fire. Bones were visible in some parts of his body.
While the whole kingdom was in chaos, the main character was busy with an extremely important thing.
-What did you say?
-I said that in order for me to return your memories, you must go through <I Wanna Be The Boshy>.
Astro could only look at the youth identical to him with a suspicious gaze.
When he grabbed the hilt of the sword, Astro found himself in an ordinary house. On the couch, in front of a huge TV, sat a young man who looked one to one to him. The only thing, his eyes were different - blue with crosshairs instead of pupils.

With a light groan, MC got a controller and started playing.
During the entire time, while Astro was endlessly dying and breaking controllers, the other Astro watched him with a devilish smile.
[TWO THOUSAND YEARS LATER] (A / N: it's a meme. However, people who know this game will get it.)
-Argh, FINALLY! You're an asshole. This game is pure hell!
-Heh. Well, here you go~
When the information and transformation of the body were taking place, Astro heard the voice of his counterpart from a past life.
- You know, even though I'm disappearing, I'm glad that you have to deal with all the shit that happened while we were playing here. And yes, good luck with the airhead.
-Wha—?
[Let's go back a little]
While Astro was completing the quest, the King ordered all the magicians to help Maria and the white-haired fox in restraining the fire.
For a full hour, a huge number of magicians held back the fire. In fact, it was practically useless, since the energy that emanated from Astro prevented the casting of magic.
Suddenly, the fire disappeared and everyone saw the main character. His appearance shocked many.
He was wearing a kimono, but instead of a loose right sleeve, his arm was completely covered in silver-colored armor. His shoes have also changed - high metal shoes of silver color.
But the biggest change - there were horns on his head, one black and blue, the other snow-white and pink.
Also, behind him was a silver-colored tail with a red manipulator holding a huge red sword by the hilt.
When Astro opened his eyes, everyone saw that his left eye had changed - there was a crosshair instead of a clock.
(Images here)
-Sorry for this—
Not having time to finish, the main character lost consciousness. But before he could fall to the ground, he was caught by a white-haired girl with exactly the same eyes as Astro's left eye.
When Maria ran up to her brother, who was lying on the girl's lap, she immediately recognized her.
-Kiana!?
-Hey-hey. It's me, Kiana. But how do you know?
-How can I not recognize you? You are the Herrscher of Flamescion. You were one of the most popular characters in a game from my past life.
-I didn't know that I was so popular. Although, with my charm, it isn't surprising. Naturally, the great one will be popular.
The white fox, which was in her humanoid form, was extremely annoyed. Her beloved master was unconscious, and these two were discussing some incomprehensible things.
Hitting them on the head with her fist, she lifted Astro with the help of levitation magic and went with him into the house.
-Miwa-san, you are too cruel!
Said Maria with teary eyes.
-How did you guess? (Miwa)
-Heh, I was a weeb in my previous life, so I have a lot of experience after reading light novels with harems. Of course the cute animal turns out to be an incredibly beautiful demihuman in the end. I won't be surprised if you were some kind of princess as well.
Sighing heavily, Miwa decided to ignore her master's sister and headed into the house. Astro's health was much more important.
[A couple of days later]
(A/N: MC took the fate of HoF from each era. And I want to ask knowledgeable people. How much time passed between Old World and New World? From our research with swordsexual - 50,000 years)
When Astro opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was white. Everything was white. After making sure that it was something soft, he began to stroke it.
-Hngh~. Mashter, you are such a beast~
With a roll of his eyes, MC continued stroking Miwa's tails.
-Miwa, you know what? Maybe I really need to "eat" you?
Turning over the fox, the main character was on top of her. He held her hands, his knee between her legs.
Leaning slightly, Astro began to whisper in her ear.
-Maybe you really want to be eaten~?
He said, emphasizing each word.
With every word, the face of the white-haired girl grew redder and redder.
The next moment, the white-haired couple joined their lips in a passionate kiss, and Miwa felt her brain overwhelm. She did not expect such a reaction from the main character.
Astro, on the other hand, realized one thing after he received memories of fifty thousand years in length. Sometimes it's too late. You can lose a person forever.
Many may wonder how the main character knew that this girl was Miwa? You didn't need to be a genius to do this, but the main reason was his race. He could easily identify the races of creatures and knew that Miwa was a nine-tailed kitsune.
Until the matter went further, the main character gently stroked his beloved campaigner on the cheek and said:
-Maria, together with Reine, will fly into this room in a couple of seconds. We will definitely continue later~
Quickly transforming into his youthful form, Astro sat up on the bed and placed Miwa between his legs. The latter, on the other hand, used all her mental powers in order to not faint from embarrassment.
In the next moment, the door opened, from which Astro's two sisters flew out. Maria almost jumped on the main character, but Astro's tail grabbed her head in flight.
While Maria was in the air, Reine rubbed against the protagonist's cheek and constantly repeated the name of her beloved brother with tears in her eyes.
At the same time, Maria began to kick, as she was very unhappy with such an injustice.
-Okay. I need to ask something else: WHO BANDAGED ME LIKE THIS?!
Astro looked like a mummy to some extent. But what infuriated him most of all was that someone had thought to wrap his right arm, which was covered with armor.
Taking advantage of the fire, Astro burned all the bandages.
Maria, whom the protagonist was still holding with her tail, asked a question that interested everyone.
-What was all that about?
-Well, I got my past life's memories back
After a short explanation, which everyone listened to very carefully, Maria decided to ask how old Astro was.
Astro turned away and began to pretend that he did not hear anything.
-ASTRO-NII-CHAN!
- ...thous…..
-I can't hear you, Nii-chan~
-I am fifty thousand years old. Satisfied? (E/N. OLD MAN, OLD MAN, OLD MAN!)
There was an awkward silence. No one knew what to say, since the figure was simply incredible.
Maria decided to move the topic.
-Nii-chan, the Herrscher of Tuna ate all the sweets in our house.
-Huh? Who?
-Well, emergency food, you know.
MC looked at Maria with a deadpan expression.
-I'm talking about Kiana.
Now, Astro understood what the second Astro had warned him about.
Miwa who was seated between his legs regained her senses during this time. She also warned her beloved master that a huge number of people want to meet him.
-Tell them I'm dead, I don't wanna meet them.
Having changed into comfortable clothes —simple cotton shorts and an oversized hoodie— the main character went to the kitchen with the girls.
There, they were greeted by a strange sight - the emergency food was consuming a huge number of cookies.
-Fwhat?
-Oi, Herrscher of Tuna, leave some cookies for me too! How did you end up here?
Since her mouth was full of cookies, she could not pronounce something intelligible.
Suddenly, a tail grabbed her head and Astro brought her to his eyes. When she saw his empty eyes, Kiana realized that the white-haired youth in front of her was extremely annoyed.
-Umm, from now on, I will be living with you.
The eyes of the protagonist simply became dead. Astro knew perfectly well the nature of this cookie killer.
-Okay, we'll just ignore this flying food. Maria, you seem to want to register as an adventurer?
Hearing these words, his little sister's eyes began to glow.
-Yes, yes, yes, yes!
-Great, but take Miwa with you. I don't want you to destroy half of the country.
Maria pouted a little, as Astro's words were offensive to her. But somewhere in the kingdom, the Garm suddenly felt relieved.
While everyone was eating, Miwa decided to ask a question that was very important to her.
-Master, when I register, do I need to indicate any surname?
Since the question was with double meaning, her cheeks flushed a little. The other girls began to watch Astro's reactions closely.
-Hmm, if you want, tell that you are a Brunestud. If someone asks questions, tell them we're engaged.
Looking at her master's calm face, Miwa felt butterflies in her stomach while Maria and Reine realized the main thing - this kitsune was the real final boss.
'Master, the King summons you and Maria.' (Iris)
'Ugh, what does he want from us?'
[After some time]
Sitting in front of the king, a white-haired couple listened to the King's speech. More precisely, it looked like an interrogation.
The king was trying to find out if Mary was the Apostle.
Astro, however, was very annoyed by everything that was happening, but he controlled himself by stroking Miwa. She was quite soft, a perfect way to relieve stress.
When his patience was almost exhausted, the prime minister brought a book on magic, which was written in Japanese. But before he could give this book to Maria, Astro snatched it out.
-Hmm, how strange. This book is written in JAPANESE.
If he had not highlighted the word "Japanese", then Maria would not have guessed that this was a test.
The king, of course, noticed this, but when his eyes met Astro's, he felt how death was holding him by the neck.
-Astro, how do you know about this.. uh, language?
-Hmm, I don't even know ~ I speak almost every language you can think of. Why do I know what it is called? It's a secret~
This behavior always caused alarm in the King, because apart from the fact that Astro was a True Ancestor, he knew nothing.
Even his rank in the guild did not say anything - he performed all tasks alone, so his abilities were unknown.
While everyone was talking, the main character asked Iris to scan the book so that Maria could learn it in the future.
-By the way, dear future-father-in-law, I need you to sign this~
When the king saw the contents of the document, his back went cold. As soon as he would sign this document, all the lolis around Astro would arrange a real massacre.
-We have to go. Goodbye, everyone!
[Adventurers' guild]
The door to the guild opened and everyone saw a group of white-haired people. They were Astro, Maria, and Miwa. The last two came to register, and Astro simply escaped from the castle under this pretext.
The appearance of the main character changed after visiting IS. After discovering modern clothing and reclaiming his memories as a Herrscher, he created clothing similar to the one Kiana's twin had.
(image here)
It was almost identical, except that instead of leather shoes, there were tall silver metal shoes. Also, all blue parts have been replaced with red ones.
His right arm was completely covered in thin silver metal - this armor was the basis of Iris.
While the two girls were registering, the main character went directly to the head of the guild. When one of the receptionists stopped him, Astro pulled out his black card.
Seeing it, the face the receptionist turned a little pale - in front of her was the first-ever SSS-ranked adventurer since the founding of the kingdom.
When Astro opened the door, he felt a thirst for blood. His tail appeared with incredible speed and sent the attacker flying.
-Sigh. Guild Master, aren't you tired?
-Of course not, what if I succeed someday?
The Adventurers' Guild Leader and Astro were good friends, but the main thing that united them was Tifana (shota-con elf). She brought a lot of problems to both.
So a couple of guys spent a couple of hours talking about a couple of nothings until they heard a noise in the next room.
Both sighed heavily and headed there. At the area, they saw the vice-leader of the guild arguing about something with two quite familiar girls.
-Astro-san, don't kill him, please.
The elf whispered to the protagonist.
The white-haired youth looked at him as if he was a fool. He wasn't like that, was he? It's true?
In response, he received a look of disbelief.
-Vice leader, what happened?
-These two girls killed two hundred goblins and a huge number of lizard-like ones, but they only registered today. This can only be done by the C-rank party. They want to deceive us.
-That's how... But did you look at their cards?
-Exactly. That kitsune indicated in her card that her surname is like that of an SSS-rank adventurer.
All this time, the main character stood outside the door and tried to hold back his laughter, as, once again, Maria had gotten into trouble.
-Yes, as I told you previously, we did it ourselves! (Maria)
-And I'm not lying, Astro himself allowed me to indicate this name.
The guild master took a pensive pose, although he knew perfectly well who these girls were.
-Vice-leader, don't be alarmed, but the girl in front of you is the sister of that very Astro.
When the vice leader heard these words, he immediately began to think of an escape route.
-SORRY!
Standing in a perfect dogeza, the vice-leader began to ask for forgiveness, because in this kingdom, insulting a nobleman was a death sentence.
-Nothing. And you, forgive me for hiding my last name (Maria)
Being a real Japanese woman, this reaction surprised her enough.
-What about you, young kitsune, unfortunately we can't register you as Brunestud, as the last name is too rare. Many may consider you a relative of Astro.
Hearing these words, the ears on Miwa's head fell off. She was very upset with this state of affairs.
-Heh, guild master. You're wrong here.
Astro came out of the door with a smile on his face. He handed the document to the elf. When he saw the contents of it, his face expressed incredible surprise.
-Sigh. Tifana will kill you, y'know?
With a shrug, Astro handed the document to Miwa. When the kitsune saw what was written there, tears welled up in her eyes.
-Astro, Astro! You're not kidding, are you? It's true?
-It's true ~ I promised to continue
Unable to contain her emotions, Miwa jumped right at him. The document that Astro brought with him confirmed that Miwa was the official wife of the protagonist.
While the couple hugged, Maria just froze. Her brain ceased to process. She simply could not accept such a reality.
Her beloved brother had gotten married, and it wasn't her. Her brain.exe had stopped working.
-Eden (guild master), we'll get going.
-Yep. See you.
Having picked up the "dead" sister, the main character, together with his wife, went to the exit.
Leaving the bar where the adventurers were sitting, the white-haired couple was already going to leave, but...
-So, who are the kids in the guild? This senior should teach you.
The faces of the "old men" of the guild turned pale. Despite the fact that Astro did not appear in the guild for long enough, no one could forget his eyes.
Sharp claws appeared on Astro's left hand. Without hesitation, he struck them directly in the heart of the dumb adventurer. But when his claws almost reached the target, someone blocked the blow with a sword.
Naturally, the sword fell to pieces.
-Astro-dono, are you sure about this?
-You are…?
-Sorry, my name is Claude, and this is my wife, Lina. We are Ice-Fire
-Pfffffffff! ICE-FIRE, AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH. Who came up with such a lame name?
Even Miwa couldn't help but laugh. A couple of adventurers felt embarrassed because they thought that the name was cool.
But in the end, they achieved what they wanted, although by sacrifice. The SSS-rank adventurer didn't kill anyone.
-Oi, Astro-dono, you also have nicknames.
-You dare not...
Seeing his eyes, Claude realized that it was best not to, even though Astro had an incredible number of nicknames. For example, God of Fire, Shadow Flame, Apostle of Sun, and so on. (E/N: The cringe, ugh. I suggested those, btw.)
While Astro was chatting with the adventurer, Maria's brain had overloaded. She started pestering Miwa about stealing her brother and so on.
To show her superiority, the white-haired fox jumped on the back of the protagonist and kissed Astro on the cheek.
Maria could only open and close her mouth. She realized that she had lost this battle, and most likely the war. But, most of all, she was surprised by the reaction of her brother - he began to stroke the head of the fox, which settled more comfortably on his back.
Astro was clearly the hero of a harem story, but his reactions were wrong.
After saying goodbye, the group left, but Astro heard Claude whisper:
-Apostle of Sun, how lame, heh.
Astro stopped halfway. Claude, who noticed this, felt sweat beading on his back.
-Run.
-I'm running!
[After some time]
Unhappy that Maria and Miwa were teasing him with his nickname, Astro headed to the mansion's kitchen to seize his grief with cookies.
But when he got there, all he saw was a huge number of empty boxes.
And then something clicked in his head. His hair turned to blue fire and the whole mansion heard a scream
-KIANA!!!! COME HERE! DON'T WORRY, I'LL KILL YOU ONLY A FEW TIMES!
On this day, the entire capital heard explosions from the Silford mansion.
The result was that Kiana was punished - she was tasked to learn all the material for admission to the royal academy. And, until she learned all that, no sweets.
[The next day]
All the servants accompanied Maria to the exam at the academy. Astro left early as Miwa woke him much earlier than the others. Miwa was too energetic… mostly because of the news that she became a wife.
Because of this, she could not sleep at all, causing her to toss and turn around a lot. The main character slept with her, but could not sleep because of this.
He had to use his adult form to transform Miwa into a huge hug pillow.
By the way, after Astro destroyed the house, with the help of Iris, he built a completely new house full of technology.
During his time as HoF, he learned almost every piece of technology that was available, and given that Maria had Magic Creation, he was able to recreate almost everything.
Where Honkai power was needed, he used batteries that were created by scientists at Schicksal.
Naturally, after studying all the data of this organization, Astro staged a massacre in it. Not a single scientist had survived.
Also, he was sure he saved someone important to himself there, but this piece of memory was blocked.
This raised some questions from Astro, but he did not rack his brains over it. If they were blocked, there was a reason for that.
Let's go back to the exam.
The first part was a written survey. It didn't even make sense to talk about anything - he answered all the questions in 10 minutes and passed the test.
After leaving the auditorium, Astro began to roam the grounds of the academy. He wondered where Maria was.
He ended up finding her sitting in a commoner class. Rolling his eyes, the white-haired ancestor went to the practical part of the exam.
This part was to show your most powerful spell.
Tilting his head to one side, Astro thought that another genoсide would not change anything, but decided to limit himself to weak fire.
While everyone was diligently destroying targets, Astro simply burned his target along with several walls behind it.
Everyone was shocked, although the instructors knew Astro was an SSS-rank adventurer.
[After a short period of time]
Astro lay in the shade under a tree, awaiting the results of the exam. He practically fell asleep but was not allowed to do so.
-Astro!
Two loli noblewomen found him. From the moment he regained his memory, the ancestor never met them.
-Astro, what happened? When we came to visit you, you were unconscious! (Silk)
-Astro, you should take care of your health more!
Telling fables about some kind of disease, the ancestor thought that these girls should not know the truth.
He was an Herrscher for a reason, his hands were covered in blood. He did not hate people as a race, but he certainly did have a slight disgust. The same Valkyrie project in the past world. Sounded cool and righteous, but what went on behind the scenes was worse than what the Herrschers did.
The only one he trusted completely besides Kiana, was Miwa. It's not that he didn't trust Maria, it's just that Astro didn't want his sister to know that he had committed a couple of genocides.
Her heart was too kind.
About Miwa - thanks to the contract, they shared memories and feelings, so the fox knew exactly who the white-haired ancestor was. Did it bother her? Of course not.
She knew that despite the fact that Astro was a bloody killer, he always took care of everyone he considered close.
Also, she saw ALL of his memories. Miwa had made a contract with % #% $$ #% $ not to talk about anything.
To be honest, Miwa was shocked, as after seeing all these memories, she herself almost went crazy.
How Astro was able to survive this hell, all these losses, and remain sane, she did not understand.
