Chapter 19: The Most Cringe Love Story of Sasaki Kojiro and Jeanne d'Arc
The massive sky screen continued to torment the Record of Ragnarok world, forcing gods and humans to witness the most cursed romance in history.
At this point, resistance was futile.
They had no choice but to watch.
King Arthur was trembling. "I swear if this turns into another harem conquest—"
Hercules shook his head. "It already has."
Zeus was grinning ear to ear. "Finally, a love story! This is going to be legendary!"
The screen flickered to life.

Inside a Beautiful Cathedral
Jeanne d'Arc stood at the altar, her silver armor gleaming under the soft candlelight.
She clasped her hands together, deep in prayer. "O Lord, please guide me… my heart is troubled…"
A soft breeze blew through the cathedral.
Slowly… a familiar figure stepped forward.
Sasaki Kojiro.
His blue robes flowed elegantly behind him. His katana gleamed under the light.
But most importantly…
He was holding a bouquet of flowers.
The Record of Ragnarok world exploded in disbelief.
"NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT."
King Arthur grabbed his sword. "JEANNE, GET AWAY FROM HIM!"
Jeanne opened her eyes and gasped. "Sasaki Kojiro…? Why are you here?"
Kojiro smiled gently. "I have traveled across worlds… across time… just to see you, Jeanne."
The Record of Ragnarok world was horrified.
"OH GOD, HE'S USING THE CRINGE LINES."
Jeanne blushed slightly. "B-But why me?"
Kojiro stepped forward dramatically, his hair flowing like he was in a romance anime.
"Because your beauty is as radiant as the flames that once tried to consume you… but they could never tarnish your soul."
The Record of Ragnarok world screamed.
"WHAT KIND OF PICK-UP LINE IS THAT?!"
Zeus was laughing so hard he almost fell over. "This is GOLD!"
Jeanne turned even redder. "Y-You… are quite poetic…"
Kojiro knelt down before her, holding up the bouquet. "I offer you these flowers, not as a warrior to a saint… but as a man to a woman."
The Record of Ragnarok world was about to riot.
"NO. STOP IT. THIS ISN'T HAPPENING."
Jeanne hesitated… then slowly reached for the flowers.
Her fingers brushed against Kojiro's hand.
For a moment… their eyes met.
Time seemed to slow down.
Jeanne felt her heart race.
Kojiro gently smiled. "I will protect you, Jeanne. Not as a soldier… but as the man who loves you."
The Record of Ragnarok world was in chaos.
"THAT'S IT. I'M LEAVING."
King Arthur was on the ground, screaming into the dirt.
Zeus was rolling on the floor laughing. "I HAVE NO WORDS! THIS IS LEGENDARY!"
Jeanne finally took the flowers, holding them close. "…Thank you, Sasaki Kojiro."
Kojiro gently took her hand.
"Shall we take a walk under the stars?"
Jeanne nodded, her heart pounding.
And so, the most cringe love story in history had begun.
