To Whomsoever It May Concern

Five years have passed since I came to this world.

I am worried about how I, who disappeared on the school trip, am going to be treated, but although it is hard to believe, I have traveled back in time. The so-called isekai transportation as some would call it.

Thanks to my strict upbringing, I managed to somehow survive in the Sengoku period.

My father told me to become a person that stood on top of other people, but currently, I have taken up the post called the Chief Councilor of the Hitachi Province.

There are also many vassals.

Is my grandfather who prodded me to become a minister well?

I am supposed to be the Minister of the Right soon but it looks like I won’t be the prime minister.
I want to write many things but I have one request, it’s about what happens after I write this letter.

Could you destroy the computer that I used for me?

Inside are the things I don’t want anyone to see. My black history is packed inside.

I request that you dispose of the bishoujo figurine that I hid in my closet, the bishoujo body pillow cover, and the thin book I bought at Comike. I will offer the black gyaru photo album to my father. 1

If my memory serves me right, I believe the Horyu-ji Temple will not be burned down even up until the Heisei era, so I will leave this letter to the chief priest of the Horyu-ji Temple.

This world does not have online games, but I am enjoying every day as if it were an RPG. 2

Father, mother, everyone, I am living relatively happily in this world, so please be at ease.

Ibaraki Prefecture North Hitachi High School 2nd Year Class B
Senior Third Rank Dainagon Kurosaka Makoto 3


A piece of breaking news was reported during a TV program on January 1st, Heisei 30 (2018) quickly replaced the trivial foolish comedy program on New Year’s Day. A special news program appeared.

“This is breaking news early on New Year’s Day.

A letter written by the famed first-generation Hitachi daimyo Kurosaka Makoto, strategist of Oda Nobunaga who unified Japan, has been discovered.

Furthermore, the contents are astonishing.

The words that weren’t supposed to have existed in the Azuchi Shogunate period: ‘time travel’, ‘laptop’, ‘bishoujo figure’, ‘bishoujo body pillow cover’, ‘Comike’, ‘online game’, and ‘black gyaru photo album’ had appeared.

What on earth is this person exactly? The character appraisal is consistent with the other letters that Kurosaka Makoto left behind, and it is scientifically proven through the carbon dating that the paper, the ink used for letters, and the box the things were sealed in belonged to the Azuchi Shogunate period.

Is this evidence of time travel? The mysteries within the mystery are leaving the experts racking their brains.

Furthermore, present-day, there exists a North Hitachi High School in a major city of the Ibaraki prefecture, and there was a person named Kurosaka Makoto who disappeared 2 years ago on a school trip.

Did this person actually travel back in time? We are waiting for the explanation of the truth.

Is the laptop that was left behind the key to solving this mystery? The government is making the contents recovered from Kurosaka Makoto’s laptop available to the public.”

The popular idol announcer was dead serious in reading out loud the news.

That one letter discovered in the Horyu-ji Temple’s warehouse became an event that made it around the world as a topic, puzzle, mystery, and urban legend.

In the laptop left behind, a harem light novel posted to a novel site was saved, and although it was not something hard to read after the government analyzed it, it was published worldwide, translated, and became a huge hit.

  1. Flowingcloud: Bishoujo = ‘Beautiful girl’, if you didn’t know.
  2. Flowingcloud: Many temples were burnt down in Japanese history. Horyu-ji Temple is one of the rare temples that wasn’t touched throughout Japanese history; surprisingly despite being a huge temple.
  3. Dainagon: The tl;dr version is that it’s basically a high court rank. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dainagon
