When I left Gaussen, I heard a scream.
In front of me, across the street, there was a man in black jersey.
With a blood-stained knife in his hand, the man pursued a salaried man who tried to escape with a stab in his shoulder, sticking a knife up his back.
Even though the salarier exclaimed, the man stabbed the salarier twice or three more times.
To a neat salarier, the man loses interest and begins to look for his next prey.
What caught my eye was a high school girl who was unable to move because she had fallen back on a sudden assault.
A man rushed out toward a high school girl.
The high school girl tried to escape but couldn't get up and the man grabbed her arm.
A high school girl stuck her breath to the man who let her do it.
The man waves up his bloody arm in return.
I stuck with that arm, dashing from across the street.
Because of this situation, my head cuts off cold and I observe the man closely.
Somewhat older than me, maybe, but still in my thirties.
Skinny face covered with a beard, but bright red congested eyes and swollen nose make it unusually powerful.
I manage to hold the man's arm down but the man shook it off and took the new knife out of his belt.
Look, the man's belt is hung with knives of all sizes and sizes.
I take the knife that the man has been swinging down with the rucksack I was holding in my hand, and I hit every man in the backpack with the same momentum.
but as the man moved around my body, he slashed me with a knife.
There's blood coming from my arm.
My consciousness was distant from the severe pain, and when I noticed it, I was stabbed in the stomach with a knife.
"This...... Huh!
Anger exploded with severe pain.
I wield my backpack in a mess.
A backpack hit the head of a passing man, along with the feeling of something hard hitting him.
The backpack contained a sturdy Akekon (arcade enclosure type controller).
I assemble myself into a man groaning in pain, trying to take a knife from his hand.
Somehow, I almost took the knife from the man, it was that moment.
A high school girl who was in suddenly caught a man.
Probably tried to help me, but that was disastrous.
"... Gu Bu"
There's a feeling in my hand that I've never experienced before.
A man with his eyes open falls to the ground as he slopes as he crushes something.
I glanced down at my hand.
Blood.
A knife.
There was a knife in my hand, covered in blood.
... that is.
- Did I stab you?
"Found the killer!
While I stood up, a pair of cops showed up from across the street.
"The killer is a skinny man in his thirties, up and down a black jersey - confirmed!
Look down at your body.
He was wearing a black jersey.
Besides, I just got thirty and I'm thin.
"Chi, wait a minute......! I...!
I didn't think, I waved my hand forward and called on the cops.
but
"And you're willing to resist!
"Chi, no... I'm not passing through..."
"Then what's in that hand!
I was told to check my hand.
Yeah, it's a knife. This.
Besides, it's stained bright red with the blood of the killer I just stabbed.
I panicked at the hard evidence of the situation.
It moved.
And I guess so,
"Stay, wait, I...!
I try to rush over to the cops while staying fierce.
Of course, shaking the bloody knife in my hand......
I don't know how much temper I was, but I couldn't handle it any better.
"Ku, don't come......!
A policeman puts up a gun and warns.
I had blood on my head, too, and returned to me the muzzle directed at me and the harsh look on the face of a policeman of that age.
Although.
"Hih, wow!
Now the younger cop panicked.
"Oh, hey, don't...!
A young policeman pulled the trigger.
That too, not once, but many times.
The sound of Don, Don, Don, and Tummy echoes.
With that last sound, a burning sensation ran through my chest.
Too much shock, I got my head white.
And from the next moment on, now it gets darker in front of me.
In a narrowing vision, I see an old cop suppressing a young cop.
At the end of the day, I fell to the ground, blind.
"Ko, this is... not really..."
Haemorrhage after that crush.
This is how my life closed.
◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆
"... but not really."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!
I think I heard a woman, but I wasn't that close.
I don't know what this is all about, but there was suddenly a planet under my feet.
……
Sorry, that was a bad way to put it.
In short, I'm in the air like I'm coming all the way down to Earth.
See, there would be footage like "Earth from the International Space Station"?
That's the situation when, like that, I'm floating in satellite orbit, beneath which is the blue sea hidden in white clouds and the reddish earth, the green forest.
"Oh, fall, fall...!
"Take it easy. Because it won't fall."
I notice when they say it.
Sure, I'm sky-high, and that's where the air doesn't seem to be, but it doesn't look like I'm falling towards the ground.
"Oh, oh... it's true"
I found it safe for now (though I don't know one other thing) and I finally could afford to observe my surroundings.
First, the woman in front of you.
I don't know, it's...
"Goddess?"
If you imagine Venus in Greek mythology, I think it fits roughly.
This incredible beauty hides her stunning body with a white silky cloth.
What's different from Venus is that the hair color is closer to black rather than blonde?
"Huh. Exactly."
Goddess? said with a swinging grin.
"... yeah, well, somehow I figured it out"
As I say, I sigh.
"Oh? What?
"In short, you are God, I died in the previous world, and now beneath my feet is a strange planet (...). Then this guy is reincarnated."
To begin with, Earth, I thought this planet, it seems, is not Earth.
It wouldn't have been Earth if it had been a big desert continent, a cloud like a red typhoon, an island floating in the sky.
"... well, it fits roughly"
The goddess smiles again and begins to explain.
"As you just said, you're dead. I was mistaken for a passage, and the cops shot me.... Oh, don't worry about your post-mortem honor. There would have been a girl you tried to help, wouldn't there? Thanks to her testimony, you're not passing through, you're being reported to the press as a bona fide third party who tried to seize the passage."
"... well, good"
Anyway, I'm not involved, so I don't feel painful or itchy being treated as a passerby, but I just wouldn't have felt right.
"Though the police seem to have sent paperwork as the murderer who stabbed and killed the passersby about you while the suspect was dead. They're beating you up, including a cop shooting you dead by mistake."
"Zama."
Though I've tried to say, some of me have died because of it, I can't fit in as much as the neck of a police cadre flew a bit.
"It's the only way. No, it may not be, but it's like that in the world. You just have to forget that you're an asshole cop who can live a second life."
"Well...... and I just wanted to tell you. I have some bad news."
"Bad news?
"Yeah, there's a reincarnation of that passage into the other world you're going to"
"Huh!?"
"Instead, I want you to take down that passageway. That's why I brought you this reincarnation story."
"Whatever I do..."
I was selflessly obsessed with popping up then, but what was I thinking about jumping on a passageway with a knife or something?
Anyway, once I'm calm, I don't want to fight or do anything with the Passover again, and I don't feel like I can do it in the first place.
"I know how you feel, but this one is also urgent. The example passes - Hiroshi Pestle, but the man is summoned by an evil wizard who serves the evil gods, reincarnated in a way that takes over the body of a girl prepared for sacrifice."
"Why don't you let the people of that world deal with you?
"The rules of this world dictate that God cannot interfere in the material world. The exception, or something like backgammon, is a rebirth like this one. In an emergency where there is an imminent crisis in the world or interference from another world, we try to solve the situation by reincarnating the soul that God picked up himself."
"Is that... that dangerous? It's just an asshole."
"That passageway is not just a passageway. The evil god who reincarnated him into this world - under the influence of Monugonuese - has killed more than a hundred people in your country, except through magic."
"Hih, Hundred!?"
If it were true, it would have been a level killer who could have targeted a world record.
... You were well safe, me.
"Looks like the Passenger Murder was the last ritual dedicated to Monugènous. I was stopped by you, but he made a grief and fulfilled his reincarnation into this world."
"... Shit, you mean it was too late"
The result of risking your life to fight won't pay off with it.
"No, what you did wasn't for nothing. Hiroshi Pestle could only perform the ritual halfway through because of you. Because of this, Pestle can only be reincarnated into this world by taking over the baby's body, not the complete body"
It wasn't entirely in vain, is it?
"Thanks to that, there will be some temporal respite until Hiroshi Pestle grows. In the meantime, you..."
"Find him, kill him,"
I nodded small.
This goddess cannot intervene directly in earthly events.
So he's trying to reincarnate me in order to do something about the Passenger Murderer/Pestle Hung who has been reincarnated into this world by the evil gods' intentions.
"... I know what I'm going to do. But I'm not a soldier or a fighter. You don't have the power to fight, do you?
I liked fighting games, but the story is different from the game in action.
I can't believe I actually fought someone until I fought that passage.
"Of course, I will give you strength from me. Even so, this reincarnation is only a backhand, so I can't give you much power."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, who
"What I give thee is a seed, so to speak. And if you water them, fertilize them, and raise them, you will surely have the power to fight the messengers of the evil gods."
Then, the goddess continues.
"Passover - It's your mission to do something about the apostle of the evil gods, but otherwise, you don't mind living as you please. If you harness my power well, it's called... you know, I think you can live a 'cheesy' way, right?
Cheats. In short, playing the game on extremely favorable terms like deviating from the game's system.
Is that the reward of this goddess' request?
If you think you were dead, it's not really bad.
I don't have to think I'm sorry about the intruder, but if it's cheesy enough, it's still better.
... Well, isn't it bad? I don't know if I'll ever miss this opportunity to be able to reincarnate in real life again.
"... ok. I'm dead because of him, too. Let's do whatever we can."
Besides, the goddess didn't say it clearly, but there's no better option than to say no to me here than to be dead in the original world.
The goddess looked down sorry and said.
"Thank you. I am Atrazenek, the goddess who presides over the circle of souls. And this world that spreads beneath your eyes, the name of the world you are going to, is Marquekt"
The goddess reaches out to my cheek.
A soft, delicate finger, unlike that of a person, strokes my cheek slowly.
The goddess stroked my face around to make sure something was
"Hmm, I see. I wonder if that skill is good for you. It's a little pointy, but it should be perfect for your taste."
And...
"I swear. Grant my protection to those who fight evil gods. - Skill awarding, [not easy to work]"
With the words of my vows, the wet lips of the goddess touch my cheeks.
Something very hot stains my body from the lips of the goddess.
"Ugh... Ugh..."
"... it's time to say goodbye"
The goddess tells me to hold my cheek and nod.
If you look, my body will gradually become clear.
"Skills belong to this world, Marquekt. With your skills, you became half-markect's. And under Marquekt's rules, God cannot interfere with earthly things. I can't keep you here."
With the words of the goddess, my body floated fluttery.
No, no... this is falling!
I heard God's last words as I crashed into Marquecto with fierce momentum.
"It's not what I could have told you to leave me this fate... please, take care of my life. You were brave in the face of the passage, but at the same time reckless. For the sake of my mission, I will not risk my life. Use that skill to survive - Kiki Kagi."
