Chapter 1: god said it
I was hit by a truck.
In the moment I thought, “It hurts,” my consciousness faded.
And now, in front of me is a girl who looks like a god.
“Uh, hello…”
The god (?) stuttered.
She looked about twelve years old. A halo over her head, wings on her back, a white robe, and a large wooden staff—an unmistakable god-style girl.
However, she seemed somewhat timid. Furthermore, she fell silent with an awkward smile. …Is she shy?
“Um… are you a god?”
“Y-yes, that’s right. Sorry! I am what you call a Light god!”
The god confessed.
As a life form on earth, I would like not to blame the creation of heaven and earth as something bad.
…Or maybe not. Am I no longer considered “alive”?
I couldn’t make out the surroundings. In a white light, only the godly girl and I were floating.
I could simply interpret this as a dream, but I clearly remember it. The massive body of the truck filling my field of vision and the pain when the bumper hit.
“…I see… so I’m dead…”
I had a moment of hope that maybe I might survive, but in the end, I felt relieved. I didn’t want to continue such a nightmarish life.
“Um… have you grasped the situation?”
The timid god spoke to me, and I nodded.
“I died, right? Hit by a truck. So, am I now going to heaven or hell?”
“No, um, actually…” The girl mumbled. She was quite indecisive for a god. The god in the form of a girl eventually spoke as if she had resigned.
“Actually, there was a mistake…”
“Mistake?”
“It wasn’t supposed to happen…”
“Not supposed to…?”
Interpreting the god’s vague words, I came to a conclusion.
“Like Yu Yu Hakusho?”
“Y-yes! Something like that!”
So, I wasn’t supposed to die, but I died by mistake.
“Then, am I going to come back to life?”
“N-no, that’s not possible… Instead, how about being reincarnated in another world with your memories?”
“Another world? Did you create that too?”
“S-sorry! I am a Light god, you see!”
She said that quite often… The god, bowing her head repeatedly, looked up at me nervously.
“How about it? I’ll make you a child of a wealthy family and give you talents as a service…”
It sounded too easy, and I felt somewhat bad. But I couldn’t refuse her kindness. It was divine kindness, after all. However, there was one thing I needed to confirm.
“Um… you said my death wasn’t planned, right?”
“Y-yes.”
“Then, what about my little sister who was with me…?”
When I was hit by the truck, my little sister, who was three years younger, was there. She must have been hit like me if my memory is correct.
“Did she die too? Is she also being reincarnated somewhere…?”
“Ah, about that…” The god stuttered but smiled.
“I just met her earlier… She happily agreed to be reincarnated in the same world as you!”
Hearing that, I—
I—
I—
“WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!?!”
I threw off my polite language and grabbed the god by the collar.
“Don’t you know?! Aren’t you all-knowing and all-powerful?! Then you must know what kind of person she is!!”
“Eek…”
Finally—
Finally, I thought I was free from that demon-like sister…
“No! I refuse to be reincarnated! Just send me to heaven or hell, as is!”
“S-sorry…! I can’t do that…! I must reincarnate you properly, or else I…”
What? Or else what?
“Here we go!”
At the moment I was distracted by the god’s words, my vision began to blur. A warm sensation and a feeling of floating enveloped my entire body. My vision turned completely white—
SFX: Thump, thump.
—A comforting sound echoed in my ears.
Is this… the sound of a mother’s heartbeat…?
Is my consciousness being placed in a fetus?
“—Please, survive!”
I heard the god’s voice from a distant place.
“Hide, endure, and never be found! I am on your side!!”
…Can I do that?
I was imprisoned by that sister for five years…
