In a Different World with a Smartphone

"So you're dead. I'm so sorry."

"Ha."

Deeply bowing old man. Behind it spreads a glowing cloud sea. A carpet of clouds spreads everywhere, with no end in sight. But it's on the tatami that we're sitting. A qualitative quadrupled room floats on the clouds (even though there are no walls or ceilings to say room). Tea on the shabudai, black phone on retro-toned TV. Old but flavorful pieces of furniture line up.

And it's God in front of you. At least that's what he says. God says he let me die by mistake, but I don't really have the feeling that I'm dead.

I was definitely in a hurry to get out of the rain during school. [M] The moment I tried to make a shortcut across a nearby park, it was the blinding light and the roar that struck me.

"I failed to check to see if there were people ahead of me who dropped the thunder. I'm so sorry. Some people die from lightning strikes, but this case is out of plans."

"Did the thunder strike me straight and I die... I see. So this is heaven?

"No, further above heaven, the world with gods...... well, I guess I would say even with the divine world. We can't really have humans coming. You were specifically called by me, and..."

"Well, it's the winter night of Hope Moon."

"Yes, yes, the moon, the winter, the night."

As God said so, he poured hot water from the side Yakan into the sudden suds, and made me tea to swallow hot water. Oh, I'm standing on a tea column.

"But aren't you a little too calm? I thought I was going to panic more like this when I died."

"Is it because it doesn't really feel real? It feels like a dream somewhere. I don't care what you say about what happened."

"Objectively."

Though I just didn't expect to die at 15. Zuzu… and drink tea. Delicious.

"So, what happens to me now? Either in heaven or hell?

"No, no, you're dead from the fall of the eagle. Then I can bring you back to life right away. Just..."

God at last. I don't know, is there something wrong?

"We can't bring you back to life in the world where you were. I'm sorry. That's the rule. I'm really sorry for this convenience. So, bye."

"Yes."

"I want you to come back to life in another world. So I started my second life. I know what it's like to be uncomfortable."

"Fine."

"... okay?

When I answer instantly by blocking the words, God is looking at me with a pocan face.

"I understand your situation, and I don't feel compelled to. I'm just grateful to be back. So here we are."

"... you really have character. Living in that world would have made me an adult... I'm so sorry"

A soggy God. I was a so-called grandfather and child, so I feel kind of annoyed. I wish I didn't care so much.

"Will you at least let me do something to sin? If there's anything you can do, you can make it happen, right?

"Hmm, even if they say so..."

The best is the resurrection in the original world, but that's impossible. So, if it is, I'd like something useful in the world I'm going to...

"What is the world I'm going to be in?

"Compared to the world you were in, it's still a developing world. Look, medieval times in your world, about half as close to that one. Well, not all of them are on that level."

Um, he's going to have a lot of lower living standards. I'm anxious to be able to do that. Would it be okay for me to jump into such a world without any knowledge? Ah.

"Um, one favor."

"Oh, what the hell. I'm gonna make everything happen, okay?

"Can't we use this in the other world?

That's what I put out of my inner pocket in my uniform. Versatile cell phone like a plate of small metal. So-called smartphones.

"You got this? Well, it's possible... Some restrictions will apply. If that's okay..."

"For example?"

"I can barely interfere directly from you. Call, email, write to site, etc. It's fine if you just read it. Well... let's just call the crocodile."

"Enough."

If you can pull out the information on the world you were in, it will be quite a weapon. Whatever you do, it must help.

"I was wondering if I could recharge the battery with your magic. Don't worry about running out of batteries now."

"Magic? Does the other world have that power? Then maybe with magic?

"I do. What, you'll be ready to use it."

Will magic be available? That sounds interesting. I enjoyed going to different worlds.

"Well, it's time for you to come back"

"Thanks for all your help"

"No, it's this way that's bad when it comes to the original. Whoa, one last thing."

Warm light wraps around me when God gently puts his hands around me.

"Because it doesn't make sense to come back and die soon again. Let's bottom up basic abilities, physical abilities, and more. Now you won't die without so much. Unless a dumb god drops a thunder."

That said God laughed masochistically. I laugh when I get caught.

"Once I send it out, I can't interfere anymore. Last gift."

"Thank you"

"I can't give you a hand, but I can do as much as talk to you. Call me whenever you're in trouble."

God said so pointing to the smartphone in my hand. I don't think I can even call God casually, but if I'm in real trouble, let's just say I can help.

I'll see you later.

The next moment God smiled, my consciousness broke off.
