Chapter prologue
I wonder if this is readable
My name is Nagi . I was enjoying my life but when I died, it was quite a simple death . The cause of death was suffocation . I wasnt strangled by my lover for cheating or something like that . I just quickly ate a lot of rice cakes1 .
I was eating rice cakes that were sold at the supermarket, baked in a cheap oven toaster and cut into pieces . Even though I was chewing it carefully before swallowing, it still got stuck on my throat . That was my fault since I was eating rice cakes alone so it was inevitable . Lets just give up gracefully . I wont be able to do anything about it anyway .
Even though I kept my interaction with the neighbors to a minimum, I was at my neighbors entryway frantically hitting the doorbell and violently knocking on their door . Unfortunately, my two neighbors were away .
In my panic, I left my phone on top of the table in my room . 119? Or should it have been 110?2 I should have contacted them before I went to my neighbors for help .
In my last-ditch effort, I tried to push out air from my lungs using the apartment corridors aluminum handrail . I got dizzy and collapsed on the corridor . The rice cake wont come out . I should just give up . I had a friend who frequently came to my room and I told him tophysically destroy my HDDwhen I die so I dont have any regrets, I think .
everything is white . And theres a strange floating feeling . Theres also an old man
Im an atheist, so Id only believe in what I see .
But, it seems that god exists .
You, I just happened to see it but, you had a pretty interesting death . Theres an extremely frank old man in front of me . Because Im Japanese, I thought that in the netherworld, Id receive judgment and go to either heaven or hell but, when I took a look around, a god-like deity appeared . [TN: He didnt expect to meet Kami-sama]
He looks exactly like the character from the chocolate wafer sticker I saw when I was a kid . Huh? That sticker of god had a heavenly god feel to it? Wellwhatever .
are youKami-sama? Thats technically correct but, why was there a long pause?
I should respond politely right?
I am technically a Japanese person but, are you not called differently in other regions? I am going to be judged after this so shouldnt I go over there instead?
I only have these unusually strange details .
Arent you frustrated with the way you died? Because I was able to see something interesting, Ill let you reincarnate . What do you think? This old geezer just proudly said something rude!
Reincarnating? You mean like those things in SF or fantasy novels? I think thats a good way of putting it . You wont be reincarnated on Earth though this is becoming more and more like the developments in those stories In other words, youll be returned to the ground
What should I do? Id like to ask some questions and if the conditions are good, it might not be a bad idea to reincarnate . It wont hurt to ask about some things .
Can I ask some questions? Sure . Would I retain my memories when I reincarnate? Ill leave it as it is . Will I get favorable treatment and get something like a special ability? You mean something like a cheat system? Well, Ill give you a somewhat favorable treatment since Ill be able to tell other gods that I saw something interesting . What kind of world will I reincarnate to? I think its popular in fantasy stories on Earth . You can say its similar to the Middle-ages, I guess . I guess? Well, thats fine . Would I reincarnate into a human? About that, that will depend on the god over there . That guys a nonconformist so, youll probably not be human . Is it someone you know? We occasionally go out to drink
What should I do Since Id have my memories, I can pull the looks like a child but is actually 30+ inside which is common in reincarnation fantasy novels . And it might be nice to do things over there with my memories intact .
Please let me reincarnate, since Im interested in it . Is it because of those pictures inside your PC . There are a lot of those kinds too . ( ) Jii-sanWhy do you know about that I was interested so I took a look inside your head ohh Itd be fine to be reborn as a girl right? If you live as a girl, the worst that could happen is that youll be raped by an orc or something . Dont think about it! Well, Ill tell that to the god over there . Seriously, please dont!? I understand I understand so be at ease and enjoy your second life .
Then I was reincarnated .
