“Hmm…? Where is this place?” whispered the man.

“You’ve come to?” – young boy

“Are you fully awake now?” – old man

“I would be grateful if you could respond” – woman

“No need to be so stiff. Come let us drink tea while skipping the formalities.”

Responded the old man with long hair after hearing Ryouma’s response. The old man waved his hand and out came a tea table along with some tea.

As Ryouma gave his thanks one of the three beings, a woman, faced him and as she cheerfully laughed said this.

Said the three beings as they drank tea. Ryouma took a sip of his tea and asked.

Replied Ryouma as he nodded seemingly understanding, after which he took another sip of his tea. Hearing that response, the three main gods were bewildered. Especially the god that had the appearance of a young boy.

“Please don’t be mistaken, as a matter of fact I am actually very much surprised. It’s just that as far as I know a vast place like this where everything is white and has no exit, does not exist in my world. That’s why for the three people in front of me to all be gods and the fact that I have already died has become something that I can accept. But even if, perhaps, you were lying and this is in fact a dream, then when the time comes I will simply wake up. As such, there isn’t any reason for me to particularly make a fuss, right? In the case that I’ve already truly died, even if I make a fuss now nothing will change. And besides it’s not like I have any attachments to my previous life.” - Ryouma

“That’s not possible… For one I am a worldly man. Almost 40 years old yet my hobbies still include anime, games, manga, and light novels. I’ve never gone out with a girl, but I am definitely not the kind of person that could ever reach enlightenment. It’s possible that I’ve been influenced a tad too much by my hobbies. And for the record I am more or less surprised you know? “ - Ryouma

“Your calm temperate is most likely something you’ve had with you since birth. You, excluding special situations and your social disposition, are bad with sudden responses

 but basically you are always calm, right?” – old man god

“Actually I already took a look at your file before calling you here” – old man god

“Of course, but I wonder if you will be able to understand it in one word? 'Cliche’ ” – old man god

“Looks like the explanation will really be quick, huh?” – female god

“Well the body over there will be quite young so you might be able to call it reincarnation. Also if you have any requests for the appearance we have some luxury to modify it a bit” – young boy god

“In general before 10 years old, if it’s like that then at least even if you get lost in places like the forest, if your luck is good then there is a possibility of being saved. Also as a kid you’ll be able to live without being suspected and will be able to go the city and start your life there. Of course, we’ll protect you as much as possible.” – old man god

“It’s not that there’s none but… the act of you going into another world is already a form of mission… but the moment you are able to go there then that duty ends so at the same time it’s like you don’t really have any missions” – female god

“Is it only mana that can’t be sent to other world?” - Ryouma

“The other’s world mana is growing. If the mana dries up then the humans who have been living a lifestyle that relies on magic will of course, be troubled. The magical beasts that feed on mana will be annhiliated. The food chain that is balanced around the existence of the magical beasts will also be broken. The thing is although Earth has mana, the method of using it wasn’t passed down and as a result it’s not being used at all. There’s also no magical beasts on earth, so since no one will be bothered it’s better to send it to the other world” – female god

“It is exactly as you have said. It’s true that mana is convenient but the current human race relies on magic too much. Whenever they need something done they, without stopping to think, immediately use magic. And although various research has been done on the development… the number of people that use magic without trying to manage or economize have been increasing. As a result the amount consumed has increased… But, while that’s true, the biggest reason behind the mana problem is still the old war which naturally ruined the amount of mana produced.” – young boy god

“That… um… magic, can I also use it?”

“Of course, you can” – Old man god

“You can” – Young boy god

“You can use it, you know” – Female god

“Really?” - Ryouma

“Oh, finally a normal reaction” – Young boy god

“Ahem, excuse me that was rude” – young boy god

“Well then, in regards to magic. The body in the other world will also be human and whether or not you will be able to use magic will depend on your training” – old man god

“And besides once you’ve crossed over to the other world, you will be protected by the power of god so at that time we will give you some of ability. In other words, a cheat. So even if you have no talent we will raise up your level to some extent so as to allow you use to magic, and you will be able to use magic as you wish. But being the number one talent in magic in the world is a bit difficult though” – female god

“You’re really quick to pick up, huh? That’s exactly correct. Japanese people are quite amazing. Although the number of people who think they are only in a work of fiction and seriously believe are few, to understand the work of god. Things like reading books for fun is as to us peeping at the world. Isn’t us having fun by peeping at the world the same as you guys? Japanese, aren’t we doing the same thing?” – young boy god

“We only involve ourselves when a great calamity has descend and the world is about to be destroyed or at the moment when great harm comes, or when someone tries to destroy the world and that person happened to have that kind of power. Well the things I’ve told you are mostly unnecessary. The last time we were involved was in the world’s time period… about 300 years ago?” – young boy god

“…at the very least the possibility of something like that happening within my life is quite low, right?” – Ryouma

“So it’s not like there isn’t a real one… but in any case it’ll be fine right?” – Ryouma

“Exactly, that’s why you can relax and just enjoy your second life. You fancy a world with swords and magic, right? Well it’s that kind of story.” – old man god

“Well then, it’s about time we began talking about that special favor. First off, let’s take a look at the current state of your talent. Then let’s discuss after seeing what’s lacking” – female god

“It’s good if take our time ok!”

“Is that ok?” – Ryouma

“Its fine, we’re free anyway and it’s because the world has some free mana that we came to take you away. Also because you were really calm we were able to talk quickly, giving us significantly more time than we expected.” – female god

“4 Years!?” – Ryouma

“Understood. However is it normal to keep being confused for 4 years”

“Well in here you can’t get hungry or thirsty so… when you think about it you can worry all you want” – old man god

“Although he reaped what he sowed, after that was really pitiful”

“He ran away from reality and wouldn’t listen. To some extent we let him turn that way you know? Even if we tried to poorly calm him down, him being wary of us is a hassle. Doing that by that time we realized it 4 years had already passed. Not just his soul but even his emotions were running reckless.”

“I see…”

“That clear headedness of yours is really beneficial for a magician. If the spirit is unstable the magic will fail and even if it succeeds the power will be weak. For a Japanese who likes games and anime to have that kind of tranquility… if on top of that you were to have talent in magic then you will have plenty of factors to help you succeed as a magician.” – young boy god

“Right, without confirming that you do not have the talent to use magic, we won’t be able to decide what ability to give you.” – old man god

“fufufu, from the contents of your documents that I’ve read, you have the highest hidden potential you know?” – old man god

“Everyone’s really having fun, huh?” – Ryouma

Before the eyes of the four people appeared a board, on that board some characters appeared on the screen. Looking at that, it can be seen that Ryouma is very interesting, but the 3 main gods opened their eyes wide in shock.

“Regarding your luck, while it isn’t something that has a criterion to ranked on, G is definitely way too low. In that sense this too is abnormal, or rather, you did well living up to 39 years old. That too is an unusual level, since with this level of luck it wouldn’t be strange for you to die as a child in an accident. Even if you do become an adult you won’t be able to make much of a living”

“… For normal people there are a lot that have a skill level from 1 to 3. If it’s level 1 then that’s at the level where they have studied the foundations of a field. If 2 then they have passed the beginner stage and have reached the apprentice stage, at level 3 one can be considered to be fully capable, at 4 skilled, at level 5, a first class, and at 6, a master. In the same way you train Resist Class Skills, the higher the level the greater the pain you have to endure for an extended period of time. That’s why, you, who has reached abnormal levels like 7, 8 and 9 is weird. I wonder what kind of life you had to have been living in order to end up like this.” – Old man god

“In regards to Resist Class Skills do you have any leads?”

“Can you try recollecting the events in your mind for a bit?”

“Recollecting in my mind? Ok, I understand.”

“Ryouma-kun, Sorry!”

“Eh!? Why all the sudden!?”

“We made you remember some painful memories” – young boy god

“We had you read your memories for us because it’s easier that way” – female god

“My memories? You mean it’s not just the same as thinking?” - Ryouma

“Well it’s similar but… you watch videos right? Well, while it’s a bit questionable in regards to privacy but I wanted to know the exact details” – old man god

“I am also just your everyday god, and there were a bunch of things I wanted to see but, seeing your memories you actually made me pull back… to make a god pullback that’s really amazing” – young boy god

“Ryouma-kun, please live as you wish in the other world! The skills you possess are without a doubt a result of your guts and effort! So without holding back please make use of it!” – female god

“Ah, ah…”

“Also don’t forget our power. Because that too will help you out” – old man god
