My name is Koganuma Minori. I was a member of the Japan Self-Defense Force. The Japanese government sent me to another world—namely, the Holy Eldant Empire here—to serve as the bodyguard for Kanou Shinichi and Ayasaki Hikaru, who had been tasked with spreading otaku culture.

Notice the past tense there?

About six weeks ago, we’d closed off the hyperspace wormhole that had connected the Earth to this other world, meaning that now there was no JSDF here, no official bodyguards, and no General Entertainment Company Amutech. And of course, no Japanese government to back us up, meaning that now we were just some ordinary people who had stumbled in from another world.

Not that we were suddenly at a loss for what to do or something. We started working the network of local people we’d developed and continued living pretty fulfilling lives.

Shinichi-kun was doubly married—to Myusel Fourant, the maid who’d served by his side his entire time here, and to Petralka an Eldant III, a.k.a. Her Majesty the Empress. Bigamy was definitely not allowed in Japan either legally or socially, but here no one batted an eye, and Shinichi-kun was busy going gaga over both his wives.

Hikaru-kun was head over heels for Elvia Harneiman, who’d come here as a Bahairamanian spy and had ended up hired by Amutech (in the form of Shinichi-kun) as the company’s in-house illustrator. Again, very fulfilled.

And then there was me. Head of security at home and school, sometime teacher, helper-out with Shinichi-kun’s work when I had the chance. Since my security duties naturally saw me working closely with Eldant forces and sometimes even giving them instructions, I had been formally awarded the status of knight. I was given some military honors and even a modest stipend.

When the hyperspace tunnel had closed, there was a lot of uncertainty about what would become of us without Japan to give us its political backing or supply trade goods. It was anxiety-inducing to know we could never go home again. Thankfully, though, everything had worked out all right, thanks almost entirely to the intercession of Her Majesty the Empress Petralka an Eldant III and her right-hand man, Minister Garius en Cordobal. The fact that “outlanders” like us had achieved so much and risen so high in the royal esteem was a cause of some jealousy and occasional discontent among some members of the nobility, but for the most part people accepted it. As for us, we got down to kicking back and enjoying our “second lives” here in Eldant.

Or at least, that’s what should have happened.
