Chapter 1: A Shinigami’s Work
When I noticed it, there was complete darkness.
Inside a darkness which spread everywhere, I couldn’t distinguish the ground and the sky, and in that kind of incomprehensible situation, I was sprawled in a 大 shape.
[……where is this, this place.]
[More than where this place is, you’ve just died you know. My condolences.]
[Uwa……!]
Someone called out to me and when I reflexively stood up, the ground and the sky was born in the world. The Creation was surely like this.
No, if I’m not wrong it should’ve been violent.
I was dressed in a suit. If I remember it correctly, I should’ve been on my way for a job interview.
Then why did things end up like this, this I don’t understand.
[More precisely than saying that you’ve died, my duty is, to randomly cull a soul from your world. Then I send it to a different world, in order to keep the balance.]
That kind of terrifying thing, she told it in a way as if only chatting, she was a provoking and beautiful girl.
Shinigamis were usually reputed to have silver hair and twintails――whether or not I thought of that, a girl wearing a black gothic lolita with miniskirt cosplay-like attire, was standing in front of the sitting me, and was looking down on me.
(Her skirt’s short huh…as if to say, that she didn’t feel shameful……)
[Being seen by a worm like you, the value of the contents of my skirt wouldn’t decrease you know.]
[Then let me see it. I mean, why are you in that attire?]
[Well, it’s a reflection of your fetish you know.]
[I,I’ve never thought of getting to know a twintailed gothic lolita girl with pet.i.te body and yet possessed large b.r.e.a.s.t.s okay!]
[So you did thought of it.]
[……eh? No, umm……large……?]
[……whatever you say I definitely became as you hoped for, you worm.]
[I guess that’s true but, please stop calling me a worm! It hurts you know!]
I who strongly aspired for voluptuous b.r.e.a.s.t.s, as the result of examining the girl in front of me, who from just the undulation of her figure could be deduced as having a cup size not less than C, became overloaded with feelings I want to let out. Although C was sufficiently large enough, it couldn’t win from a Large (D)1 impact. If its performance was even endowed with Excellence (E), then the strongest would appear.
[Never mind that, quickly receive my explanation about reincarnating. You don’t want to be called a worm right. By the way I’m amazing when I strip you know.]
[O,okay…….About stripping, I absolutely have no problem on my side. Come, do it……!]
[Fufufu, I’m only stirring up your imagination and don’t have the slightest intention of stripping you know.]
[Don’t play with a person’s heart! Alright, about my life after reincarnating, I’ll test out each and every power so give me a limitless amazing power!]
[If you acquire such a power, the you after reincarnating will be an existence equal to a G.o.d. As for devoting yourself in using a human’s ingenuity to draw nearer being a G.o.d, I won’t deny that’s not possible.]
[……It’s not that I want to become a G.o.d. Since I’ll be reincarnated with an incomprehensible reason no matter what, I want to live as I pleased. If possible I want to be popular with girls, I want eat delicious food, and without showing up in the front stage of history I want to influence the whole of mankind from the shadows.]
[But isn’t that the very thing of being a G.o.d, to do everything as one wanted to, that’s the same as becoming an existence equal to a G.o.d you know. I wonder if your simplistic way of thinking can understand that?]
I consider myself as simple (though it’s not a good thing) but enough about that, it seemed it was possible to use ingenuity to rise up into an existence equal to a G.o.d.
[……Though I’ll only receive a single cheat ability, or rather a befitting special thing, I only feel that I’m being blessed. It’s vexing, but usually if a person gets reincarnated, no matter how much effort he exerts he can’t become a G.o.d, that’s what what usually happens.]
[Taking account your previous life too, unless you have a cheat then you’ll only have a mediocre life. Not to mention that, to show no signs of losing your virginity until 30-years old, I can’t deny the possibility of you changing your cla.s.s from a magician to a wizard2, and later to a hermit.]
[Stop that manner of talking about protecting one’s virginity and mastering the magician cla.s.s system! That thing’s impossible and I’ve somehow realized that!]
[But, let’s consider it hypothetically. The moment a person harboring that wish dies from drowning, I believe that person can’t help but smile.]
[d.a.m.n it……I’ll definitely throw away my virginity. I’ll surround myself with girls who only have cute looks! If that’s impossible then I’ll buy a slave at the slave market!]
[……If that’s the case, the possibility that you can throw it away here, didn’t you consider that kind of thing?]
[Eh……?]
The silver twintailed Shinigami, similar to casually sucking up the mood, and what’s more like a girl who was desiring that from the bottom of her heart and yet won’t be honest with it, in a seemingly quivering and somewhat emotional voice made a luscious proposal.
[That’s not my intention at all, I hope you don’t make settings on your own……certainly as an apology towards a worm like you who was accidentally chosen to die in my own arrangement, to provide that kind of service I won’t feel even a tinge of shyness.]
[If you’ll be embarra.s.sed even for a bit then I’ll be satisfied. Regarding virginity if you know the words spirit of duty, then I hope you don’t hurt my pride too much.]
[……fu.]
[Pl,please stop……don’t sigh! I’m remembering the bitter memories of my first date that didn’t go well!]
[I believe it didn’t go that bad you know. It’s because you tried too hard in talking with her, so she only became reserved. If you didn’t give up on your own accord, then you would’ve married that girl.]
[……umm, even though I’ve accepted the fact that I’ve died, what should I do since you’ve made me have lingering attachments? Right now, I’m quite seriously regretting you know.]
However to receive that kind of follow-up, though I’m also simple, thought that why don’t I place my trust on this shinigami.
Also the talk about her taking my virginity as an apology for having made me die, most likely she was seriously saying that. Even if that was, something she couldn’t help but declare because of a sense of duty――while thinking that, one thing suddenly came to my mind.
[Umm, hey. By some chance some other guy who has a similar circ.u.mstances, so……]
[……I’ll a.s.sure you, that there hasn’t been anyone who was an unlucky person like you. Randomly chosen, and being made to reincarnate even though you were still living.]
[I,I see……well, that’s good then.]
[To be concerned about such a thing, I think you’ll definitely not be cured from your virginity.]
[Wh,what are you saying. It’s nice for my first time to have a partner who’s also a first-timer, at least give me the freedom to have that thought.
[……do you think a shinigami has an interest to that kind of think? That’s a needless worry. Although your image of a shinigami is this kind of appearance, other people are different. They imagine a shinigami as a skull with a black robe, or carrying a large scythe, or originally not a human but instead a black cat, or a monster. A human who could perceive a shinigami as having an appearance of a partner of the opposite s.e.x, there hasn’t been anyone like that.]
Then, I who perceived a shinigami as the opposite s.e.x was an owner of a unique upbringing huh――well, compared to seeing a monster that’s definitely better for my mind.
