In front of Kazuma stood a blue-haired woman, and two chairs appeared.
Kazuma sat in one, and Aqua sat across from him.
Aqua looked cheerful: "I'm the goddess Aqua, you died."
[Gilgamesh: Is this a goddess? She's too weak.]
[King Lott: UmU]
[Makima: So this is what gods look like.]
Kazuma grimaced: "Yeah, I know that, but did the girl survive?"
Aqua showed a serious face: "Actually, she would've lived even if you hadn't been there."
Kazuma looked shocked: "What do you mean?"
Before he could finish, Aqua cut in: "Actually, even if you hadn't pushed her out of the way, it would've been fine. After all, a tractor can't go that fast."
Kazuma's eye twitched; he was certain he'd been hit by a truck: "Was it a tractor? So how did I die? Did the tractor run me over?"
Aqua tried her best to hold back her laughter: "No, you died of shock because you thought it was a truck." Kazuma leaned back in his chair, stunned: "You kidding!"
Suddenly, in the dark environment, Aqua couldn't hold back her laughter, squirming in her chair: "Sorry, I've been doing this job for so long, but you're the first person to die so absurdly, hahahahahhaha."
Kazuma's brows furrowed; he was ready to attack the goddess at any moment. As someone who believed in gender equality, he was ready to punch a man or a woman.
Before he could speak, Aqua kept laughing and cut in: "You were so scared you had a heart attack and wet your pants, then passed out. Even the doctors and nurses at the hospital were laughing while you were having a heart attack, hahahaha."
Kazuma covered his ears: "No, stop talking, shut up!!!! ahhhhhh god damn!!!!"
[Killua: Pftttttt, Kazuma, I wish everyone died as easily as you.]
[King Lott: I didn't expect to laugh this much, pfttt. Gilgamesh, you should take him to the palace as a jester.]
[Gilgamesh: Hahahahaha, you made this king laugh, but I can't. If he dies when I yell, it'd be pointless.]
[Makima: Humans… so pathetic.]
Kazuma started shouting: "You guys too, stop it, pleaseeee!"
At that moment, Aqua leaned close to Kazuma's ear and whispered: "You know, when your family heard the cause of your death at the hospital, even they were laughing. Mocking others' pain is so fun; after all, laughter is the best way to relieve stress."
Kazuma's face twitched; he was going to destroy this jerk.
Then Aqua spoke again, fixing her hair with her hand: "I'm the goddess Aqua. In Japan, when a young person dies, it's my job to send them to the other world. Now that you're here, you have a few options."
She raised her index finger: "You can be reincarnated back on Earth, or you can go to heaven and wander around like an old man forever."
[King Lott: The second option sounds nice, hm. A life away from women is a peaceful life.]
[Gilgamesh: !]
[Makima: So, are you a misogynist, Lott?]
[King Lott: No, I'm just a man who loves peace. And since when is telling the truth wrong?]
[Killua: I agree, life would be better without my mom.]
But then Aqua leaned closer to Kazuma's face: "Just between you and me, heaven isn't the kind of place you humans imagine. No TV, no manga, and since you don't have a physical body, you can't have S-E-X."
Kazuma interrupted: "WHAAT"
[King Lott: Brother, he's acting like he's not a virgin. I feel sorry for you.]
As Kazuma was about to shout, Aqua got even closer: "Pretty boring, right? That's why there's another option. You're young; I'm sure you love playing games."
"Haaa," Kazuma spoke like a typical Japanese guy.
Then she explained the third option dramatically: the task of defeating the Demon King, blah blah.
(I didn't want to write more because I don't want you readers to think this is just filler.)
Things got to the point where Kazuma had to choose a power.
[Gilgamesh: Look, there are things there that even you could use. At least you won't die right away, mongrel.]
[Killua: If I had some of those abilities, I think I'd be at least ten times stronger than I am now.]
[King Lott: Look, there's a nice sword. If you can use it, the Demon King in this world would be a piece of cake.]
[Makima: These abilities are interesting.]
At that moment, Aqua was sitting in the chair, eating chips, but when Kazuma shouted, she looked at him: "Come on, I have tons of people to guide."
Kazuma's whole body tensed, as if he were about to leap like a jaguar and beat that woman to death. The idea that a woman could act like this just because she's pretty and look down on me.
These were Kazuma's thoughts, but then he slowly stood up.
[King Lott: Kazuma, don't do it.]
[Killua: What's this idiot doing?]
Then he spoke slowly: "You want me to hurry, huh? Fine, I can choose anything, right?"
Aqua's voice simply said: "Yep." Kazuma slowly raised his hand and pointed at Aqua: "I choose you."
[King Lott: Fucking Pokémon moment.]
At that moment, Aqua stood up, and a magical circle appeared around Kazuma, but then her eyes widened: "Wait, what did you just choose?"
At that moment, an angel-like figure descended from the sky: "Your wish has been heard, hero. And Lady Aqua, don't worry, I'll handle your duties in your absence. Kazuma's wish complies with the conditions and has been granted."
A magical circle appeared under Aqua, and she shouted: "You can't be serious! You can't do this to me! This is illegal, it has to be illegal! I'm a goddess!" She tried to escape the magical circle, but it was no use.
Then the angel girl said, "Don't worry, Goddess Aqua. We'll send an escort to bring you back once the Demon King is defeated."
Aqua's voice filled the entire area: "I'm a goddess! I can't defeat the Demon King! My only ability is healing; I'm a healer, not a fighter!"
Then the magical circle activated, and Kazuma and Aqua began to rise.
Kazuma laughed: "It must suck to be you right now, huh? You're being dragged along by the guy you mocked. Hahaha, I'll use your power to live a good life, and you can't do anything about it." Aqua was crying: "Please don't send me with this creep!"
The angel spread her wings: "I wish you luck, and when you defeat the Demon King, one wish will be granted."
Then the live broadcast ended.
[Kazuma has been reborn.]
[King Lott: You're a total jerk, Kazuma.]
[Killua: +1]
[Gilgamesh: +1]
[Makima: Even demons have feelings, Kazuma. You're worse than most of them.]
[Kazuma: Come on, guys, she looked down on me. Could there be a better opportunity to humiliate her?]
[King Lott: I hope you don't regret this.]
(I wanted to describe Kazuma's journey to another world in this chapter. From time to time, I'll write lore about the other group members. Killua, to me, stays true to his character; he always wanted a friend, and now he's with Gon, but he joined this group before meeting gon. Makima wanted a family, but one she could control and be loved by, so she joined, though she doesn't know it's a paradox. Gilgamesh, as a king, had a tough and lonely life, so she hoped to find joy here, but she didn't meet Enkidu yet. Our MC was forced into it. Now, this group chat promises them what they seek or their greatest desires. I will do another explanation. As for King Lott, being a dragon, the world will reject his dragon lineage as it grows, and he might end up like Albion. If you'd like to learn more, please continue reading. Don't forget to share your thoughts in the comments. Thanks!)
