Destination for Reincarnation Decided!
When I died at twenty in my previous life, I used to refer to myself as “ore”. But now that I’m just a soul, my memories are gradually becoming more childlike. Calling myself “boku” feels more natural now.
Alright. It’s hard to leave, but it’s about time for me to go.
As if answering a summons, my soul drifted away from my family, and now, once again, Goddess-sama stood before me.
“Huh? Why? What is this huge sobbing?!”
“Because, because! Kaito and Kaito’s family are just so wonderful! You’re truly close, and you love each other so much… bwahhh~!”
No, no, Goddess-sama. Your nose is running. You’ve wiped your tears way too much, your eyes are going to swell up, you know?
“Goddess-sama, thank you very much. I was able to say goodbye to my family. Now it’s my turn to grant your wish. Ah! That’s right, what is your wish, Goddess-sama? I never actually heard it.”
I spoke a little quickly.
Because if I didn’t…
… I felt like I was going to cry.
“You can cry, you know. I’ll lend you my chest. Just this once.”
She puffed out her chest proudly, but with how modest Goddess-sama’s tiny chest was, there was no way I could bury myself there, so I declined with all my might.
Besides, her nose is still running. That’s gross.
“How mean! It’s not like I chose to be small,” she muttered grumpily, but I ignored her.
“Goddess-sama, what is your wish for me? I don’t know if I’ll be able to fulfill it. But you granted my wish to say goodbye to my family. I’ll do my very best to make sure I can grant yours!”
Still mumbling to herself a bit, Goddess-sama composed herself and spoke.
“Kaito, I have one wish for you. You will receive new life and reincarnate into another world. There, how will you live, hmm, mm…”
She’s really dragging this out.
“Ah, no, that’s not what I meant… Now then, what should I reincarnate you as, I wonder?”
“Huh?” (Hey, hey, nothing’s been decided yet?!)
“Ahem. I will send you to one of the worlds under my management, the planet Arc. You will go to the Kingdom of Iskadal there.
On the planet Arc, there is magic. You admired magic, didn’t you? Oh my, don’t look at me with such sparkling, excited eyes…! You’re making me blush.”
Wha… magic! Magic! Yes! I always wanted to use it!
“And in the Kingdom of Iskadal, let’s see… there is a woman who is about to give birth. Unfortunately, the child in her womb is fated to die before being born. That life is already fading. I shall place your soul into that body.”
“Wait. Hold on. I don’t know anything about Planet Arc. Tell me about it first.”
“I’m sorry. There’s no time. That child’s life is about to end. Don’t worry! You’ll be a noble, and you’ll be able to use magic. I’ll also leave your memories from your previous life intact. Oh, and yes, having a different name would be troublesome, wouldn’t it? I’ll keep the same name so you can adjust more quickly! Kaito! Your new name will be Kaito Brown Marsh. The legitimate eldest son. Well then, goodbye!”
Wait? Hold on? What rank of nobility? What kind of magic can I use? Huh? Wait! I still have things I want to ask… hey, Goddess-sama, wait a second!
