Reincarnated as Nikolai II
A Russian economics expert had been making money through long-short strategies during the Russia-Ukraine war. Despite his economic success, he felt deep regret about Russia's historical mistakes.

Then, remarkably, he traveled back in time to 1891 and found himself in the body of Russian Crown Prince Nicholas II during his visit to Japan.

"But, but you made even Russia move on this matter? Prime Minister von Bülow, if you have a mouth, speak. Weren't you so confident France would lower their tail on their own?"
Unable to accept the suddenly reversed situation, the emperor turned his arrows toward the prime minister.
"...I didn't know their alliance was this solid."
