After defeating the demon king in another world and returning to Japan, a dungeon appeared on the ground. - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

When I came to, I found myself in a blank world.

“Where is this place?”

I looked around.

But I couldn’t find anything.

It was an all-white, an almost inorganic world.

I tried moving my legs to walk, but maybe my body seems to be afloat in air, my foot cuts through the air.

As I kept relaxing helplessly, particles of light suddenly began to form in a dense mass in front of me.

And when I came to, a beautiful looking girl with wings sprouting from her back appeared in front of me.

“Konnichiwa, Shogo Ando. I am Goddess Amaterasu, the Goddess who has been assigned onto you. Please feel free to call me Ama-chan.”

“Ha, ha…”

Given the sudden turn of events, it made hard for me to keep up.

The beautiful girl who called herself Amaterasu smiled at me while I was still confused.

“You seem to be confused. Then, let me explain your current situation a little. First of all, you died. Your head was destroyed by a meteorite. Do you understand till this point?”

“Me–meteorite…?”

I tried to recall.

If I remember, it was around evening when I left home for my late-night work as usual.

And while on the way there, I suddenly felt a shock on my head and fell down.

From that point on, I was unconscious.

I thought something did hit my head, but was it a meteorite?

Really, what are the odds?

“Because the meteorite fell and fractured your head. You lost consciousness and died in the hospital. We are very sorry for your loss.”

“…”

“And this is the heavenly realm. From now on, you will be sent to another world to begin your second life.”

“Wait, wait a minute! Another world…! Another world…? Don’t you go get to live in heaven after you die?”

Heaing a word that was quite unfamiliar to me, I ask her to hold her horses.

Amaterasu-san goes on with a big smile.

“Of course that option is also available, but… heaven is quite boring, you know? You died young, so you still have a lot of option, like to reincarnate in another world. Why don’t you keep your memories and enjoy your second life after this?”

“So, you mean, I can come back to life…?”

“Yes. However, it’s not on possible to do so on Earth.”

“…”

I think.

Not about myself.

It is about my sister Miku.

I died leaving her behind.

What will happen to her, the shut-in, without me?

“You don’t need to worry about your little sister.”

“… !”

Amaterasu said, as if reading my mind.

“She is in police custody. She will soon be placed in a welfare facility. Food, clothing, and shelter will be guaranteed without problems.”

“Is, is that so, I’m glad.”

I was relieved to hear that.

I was worried that she might end up on the street, but that did not seem to be the case.

So then, what are you going to do? Ando-san. Do you want to go to heaven or reincarnate?”

“Ah, um…I have one favor to ask from you.”

“What is it?”

“I don’t care if I go to heaven or reincarnate. So… can you let my little sister live a happy life?”

Although her life is guaranteed, Miku must be grieving over the loss of me, as her only immediate loving family.

I am worried about whether she will be able to live on her own from now on.

That is why, I wonder if you could help her find a good partner and arrange for her to be happy here on out.

If it’s person in front of me, she can do that.

That’s what I felt.

“Is this what you want as a wish…well, it’s not impossible. I do have the power to make your little sister happy.”

“…Then…!! …!!”

“However, as a general rule, it is forbidden for those in the heavenly realms to be beholden to a certain individual or group. Therefore, there is a certain condition for granting you your wish.”

“Condition…?”

“Yes… and that is…”

Amaterasu-san mentioned the conditions for making her sister happy.

Hearing that, I was absolutely stunned at how difficult it was for me to achieve the conditions.
