"Um, I have a question, what about the language? Will I be able to speak the language of the other world???"
"This isn't a problem. With the gentle aid of the gods, knowledge of the language will be beamed directly into your brain the moment you head over to the other world. You'll even be able to read! As a side effect, your brain might be wiped blank if you're unlucky…(Aezeroth:Glances at you with Pitiful Eyes) Anyway, all that's left is to choose a powerful ability or weapon..."
"Hold on, I heard something important just now. Did you say my brain might be wiped blank if I'm unlucky???"
"I didn't say that..."
"You did..."
The tension from earlier was gone. I was speaking to a goddess, but my attitude was akin to speaking to an equal...
Nevertheless, that was an attractive proposition...
It was scary to know that there's a chance in wiping my brain blank, but I'm not bragging when I say that I've been confident in my luck(Tractor-kun:Are you fucking Serious?) ever since I was young...
At this moment, Aqua showed me something like a catalogue...
"Please choose. I may grant you one and only one power. It may be a powerful unique ability, or perhaps a legendary weapon. Come, it can be anything. You have the privilege to bring this one thing to the other world..."
After hearing Aqua's explanation, I took the catalogue and started browsing it...
On it was, 'Unnatural Strength,' 'Super Magic(Overlord:???),' 'Holy Sword Arondight(Lancelot:???),' 'Demon Sword Murasame(Akame:???),' and all sorts of names...
I got it; choose an ability or weapon to bring along...
How troubling, having too many choices is making me indecisive...
Or rather, my gamer instincts told me that these were cheat-like abilities and equipment...
How troubling, how troubling…
Since I'd be going to a world with magic, I really wanted to try using magic...
Hence, I should choose an ability based on magic…
"Hey, hurry up. It doesn't matter which one you choose, nobody's expecting much of a hikikomori gaming otaku. Can you just pick one and be on your way? Anything will do. Hurry up, hurry up…"
"I-I'm not an otaku…! And I died outside, so I'm not a hikikomori…!"
I answered in a trembling voice, but Aqua simply toyed with the ends of her hair and told me disinterestedly...
"It doesn't matter, just hurry up and choose. There are still many dead souls waiting in line!!!"(King Yama:Cranes his Head in Disdain)
Aqua sat on her chair as she spoke, munching on her snacks without even looking at me...
This girl, mocking my cause of death even though it was the first time we'd met. Acting so stuck up just because she was pretty…
Aqua's can't-be-bothered attitude made me mad...
You want me to choose quickly, right???
Then I'll do just that...(Son Goku:AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaarrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!)
Something I may bring to that world...
"Okay, I choose you!!!"
(Son-Goku:Kicked by Cell in his Nether Regions Breaking his Family Jewels...
Son Goku:AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH!!! ARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!! ARRGGHH!!!
Truck-kun:Oh Pitiful Kazuma(Crocodile Tears)
Main Server:Oh Pitiful Kazuma(Crocodile Tears)
Truck-God:Oh Pitiful Kazuma(Crocodile Tears)
Tractor-Kun:Oh Pitiful Kazuma(Crocodile Tears)
Main Server(Tractors):Oh Pitiful Kazuma(Crocodile Tears)
Tractor-God:Oh Pitiful Kazuma(Crocodile Tears)
Kazuma:...
Kazuma Regretted his choice by being a Happy Construction Worker...)
I pointed at Aqua and said...
Aqua looked at me surprised for a moment and continued munching on her snacks...
(Aqua:Just Get Lost so I can do my Party Tricks)
"Ah, okay, please stand there and don't move out of the magic circle…"
Aqua suddenly stopped talking...
"What'd you just say???"
In the next moment...
"I understand. Well then, I'll take over Aqua-sama's job from now on..."
With a flash of white light, a winged woman appeared out of nowhere...
Simply put, it was a woman that looked like an angel...
"Eh???"
As Aqua squealed in surprise, a blue magic circle appeared under her feet, and under my feet as well...
Oh, what was this???
Am I really going to another world???
"Wait…! Huh, what's happening? Eh, you can't be serious! No! No…! Hold on! This is too weird! Isn't it cheating to bring a goddess along? This shouldn't count! Wait! Wait, okay???"
Aqua panicked with tears in her eyes; she was a mess.
The angel spoke while facing Aqua:
"Have a safe trip, Aqua-sama. Please leave the rest to me. We'll send envoys to welcome you back right after the Demon King's defeated. Before you return, I'll handle all of your tasks..."
"Wait! Wait! I may have the ability to heal as a goddess, but I have no combat ability to speak of! It's impossible for me to defeat the Demon King!!!"
The angel who appeared suddenly ignored Aqua, who collapsed on the floor crying, and smiled gently at me...
"Satou Kazuma-san, you'll be heading to another world now and will become one of the hero candidates to defeat the Demon King. You'll receive a gift from the gods the moment you defeat the Demon King..."
"Gift???"
I asked by repeating what she said...
The angel smiled warmly at me...
"That's right, a gift befitting the saviour of the world… You'll be granted a wish; it may be anything you want..."
"Oh!!!"
That means that I could wish to return to Japan if I ever grew tired of that world...
For example, returning to Japan after growing tired of that world, becoming rich and spending all day playing video games while surrounded by ladies! Even such a decadent dream's possible!!!
"Wait! Giving that cool speech is my job!!!"
Aqua wailed on the floor after the angel took her job...
I was satisfied after seeing Aqua act this way...
Therefore, I pointed at Aqua and said...
"How does it feel to be companions with a man you look down on? Hey, you're the 'thing' I've chosen to bring along! Since you're a goddess, use your godly powers to make my adventure a breeze!!!"
"No! Going to another world with a man like this, no way!!!"
"Hero, may you be victorious among the many hero candidates and be the one to defeat the Demon King…! Well then, I bid you farewell!!!"
"Wah! That's my line!!!"
With the announcement from the angel!!!
A bright light surrounded the wailing Aqua and me!!!
