Kuro no Shoukanshi

A note regarding the future format of text editing:

Sorry, but the correct tenses are not easy to decipher from MTL and Romaji, thus I will set it like this for now.

The author of the series dishes out 1-2 chapters per day currently. If they keep being so short, I might consider an increase of chapters per week. But that will depend on how well the translation of the other 2 will go and how this one develops story wise (alternative would be another series) .

Menu-san, no rather because of her sudden confession, it is Merufina?

After I recovered from the shock, we headed towards the nearby town. While on the move I was told the rough sequence of events happening before the transfer.

It would appear I died in an accident before coming to this world. This accident was caused by a blunder of G.o.d (no, not Merufina).

This G.o.d requested a special treatment for me from Merufina whose responsibility was governing over reincarnation.

Such cases happened in the past before too, according to Merufina.

After all G.o.d makes mistakes, too.

“Surprisingly there also are many irresponsible G.o.ds. I am diligent though, ok?” (Merufina)

Originally Merufina was an angel serving G.o.d, she remarked in my mind.

As a reward for meritorious service for many years, she was promoted to guarding deity ruling over reincarnation in the (T/N: heavenly) division of this world.

In comparison to other G.o.ds, she was a young G.o.d who just started out.

Oh well, that is, if you believe Merufina’s words on the matter.

As I uttered my complaints while interacting with Merufina, she also mentioned her innermost thoughts.

“Right after choosing the skill you approached me about signing a contract with you desu~.

You fell in love with me and begged me to accompany you! For nearly an hour you coaxed me into doing that for you.

As I was handling that administrative position for several hundreds of years, I felt a little bored and thus I accepted that plea of yours.” (Merufina)

… Though I couldn’t recall it at all, it would seem I fell in love with Merufina at first sight.

At the moment I was only able to hear Merufina’s voice but I guessed she was suitable being a G.o.ddess previously.

“Occasionally it is necessary for a G.o.ddess to get some rest desu~.

In other words, paid holiday desu~.

Since I pushed the work onto my follower, it is alright.

For several centuries now I have had no break. If I don’t recharge soon, I will break.” (Merufina)

Follower, eh? … You were treating my transfer as a chance to go on a vacation ?!

In that case return my memories already, will you?

“Didn’t you decide to erase your memories before you were transferred? The increased skill points serve as sufficient compensation for your lost memories.

You were informed about this.” (Merufina)

What should I say to the person I fell in love with?

The memory of falling in love is gone after all.

“Even if you lost your memories, you can just fall in love with me again! What sweet words you used before.

Because it was so straight forward, my heart went kyun~ and even though it was a mistake I permitted it.

Favorability level +1, desu~.

Congratulations!” (Merufina)

Uoo~ … Please stop it already at this point.

Even if don’t remember, I feel like I don’t want to know about my black past … Still what a blunder, for Merufina to suit my taste in women so much, huh?

With this much said, I want to actually see Merufina now.

“Since we are already contracted with each other … can I summon you now?” (Kelvin)

“It currently is impossible. The MP required for materialization is severely lacking.” (Merufina) (T/N: Tough luck there is no red star in the sky, huh? ^^)

That surely took the wind out of my sails.

Current objective: Raise the level far enough to summon Merufina!

“I am looking forward to your growth and new confession of love” (Merufina)

“There will be no confessions.” (Kelvin)

While chatting the town cam into view.

“This town is our destination, Pazu, desu~.” (Merufina)

It seemed to be a reasonably large town. It was surrounded by a stone wall with the houses being within the wall.

The town scape, which differed quite a lot from modern j.a.pan, made my heart flutter.

By the way, my current appearance is the same as common travelers in this world.

Thus I don’t think I will stand out specifically.

There were gateways into the town on both sides, east and west.

Approaching the gatekeepers I was about to get in contact with the first human beings from this world.

Oh, a gatekeeper seems to have noticed me.

“Yaa~ .. Are you an adventurer? Sorry, but could you show me your guild card or identification papers?” (Gatekeeper)

“Well, I come from a small village in the hicks. I have no identification papers.” (Kelvin)

As Merufina had briefed me earlier I dealt with him in such way.

There were a lot of people in this world, who didn’t possess identification papers.

Hence those papers were issued at the gate of big towns like this.

Though it cost a bit money, there was no problem as Merufina held onto some before transferring.

Even though she gave up her job, this was a task even a child could do.

“As I said before, I’m a diligent person desu~.” (Merufina)

After finishing the business with the identification papers, I headed to the next destination; the adventurer’s guild.

~ At first I was doubtful, but now I am br.i.m.m.i.n.g with the motivation to fully enjoy this fantasy world. ~
