[Synopsis in first person, main text in third person]
Here's what happened.
I used to be the captain of the knights in the royal capital of Butalia.
I thought that in my final battle against the magical beasts, I had protected the capital by trading my life for theirs.
I never expected to get the chance to open my eyes again.
.
I found myself in a completely unfamiliar place, where it seemed a huge gathering was underway. As I stood there, at a loss before the sea of people, a young woman came over to me.
.
Her expression was ecstatic. "How is this Celia so perfectly recreated, even down to the battle-damaged look..."
She kept murmuring, "This is a divine work of art," then peacefully collapsed to the ground.
.
Me: ...?
If I remember correctly, I think that's my name...
.
Butalia is currently the hottest nationwide mobile game, a sensation on an unprecedented scale.
And the knight captain Celia is far and away number one on the ranking of "my favorite fictional waifus."
Yet for some reason, the game's writers went completely off the rails and killed off a character who was that popular.
.
Killed. Her. Off!
.
#Haha, my wife is gone#
#I'm really worried about the writers' mental state#
.
Just as the whole nation was flying into a rage and threatening to send the writers razor blades, they came face-to-face with the real deal.
#Shocking#
#A fictional character has broken through the fourth wall and come to my side#
#I confidently march up with a rose in my dog mouth and say, "Hey! Wife!"#
.
"Hello, I have some paperwork here that needs your signature."
"Satoru, put that marriage certificate away."
"Oh? You'd better put that ring away before you say that."
1. She's a fictional character in a fictional world.
2. Super, super, super, super beautiful and powerful.
3. One-sided love that pierces a thousand hearts. Everyone is the heroine's biggest fan!
4. OOC! OOC! OOC!
5. The idea came from the recent mental state of a manga artist.
