ICISEI Episode 53

Episode 53: After death, is it possible for individuals to be Isekai'ed to a Fantasy World?

~Honkai: Star Rail World~

~Stellaron Hunter Base~

"Didn't expect that, people from that world, there's actually such a way to die."

Kafka looked at the live broadcast screen in front of her, shaking her head helplessly.

Even though she had lived for so many years, this was almost the first time she had seen a situation like this.

"Being laughed to death in the end or something."

"Truly, the world is vast and full of wonders."

~Tensura World~

Listening to the way this gentleman in front of him passed away, Rimuru, who had also transmigrated after death, couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

"Hiss, this brother's ending is really a bit tragic..."

"Thinking about it this way, I just got stabbed once, compared to that, I was quite lucky."

"At least in the end, I was considered doing a righteous act, not dying socially or anything."

However, at this moment, the little slime brother's mind suddenly surfaced with something he had been worried about before transmigrating.

"That is to say, the stuff on my hard drive at home, I wonder if it's been cleaned up..."

If that thing wasn't handled properly, he might have to find a hole to crawl into.

.....

『 Speaking of which, the girl with a happy smile on her face suddenly straightened up.

"Alright, my relaxation activity will temporarily end here."

Satou Kazuma, who had just been shouting "Yamete" in despair, was startled at first when he heard this.

Then, he widened his eyes and stared fiercely at the other party.

"You hateful fellow!"

At this moment, he had already made up his mind to teach this guy in front of him a good lesson.

Because, for some reason, seeing this blue hair,

A surge of impulse to punch the other person's head inexplicably rose in his heart, feeling it would be especially satisfying.

However, Satou Kazuma, still in his standard otaku state at this time, could only think about it in his heart and didn't have the guts to actually do anything out of line.

Immediately after, he heard the blue-haired goddess's self-introduction.

"My name is Aqua."

"I am currently a goddess specifically responsible for guiding young people from the Japan Region who have passed away like you."

"Now, you have two choices before you."

As she spoke, this goddess who called herself Aqua raised her first finger.

"The first choice is to start a new life from scratch."

After speaking, she extended another finger, making it two.

"The second choice, or go to a place similar to heaven and live a leisurely life like an old grandpa in retirement."

However, when talking about this second option, Goddess Aqua's words suddenly became a torrent.

"Actually, this so-called heaven isn't as wonderful as you imagine."

"Precisely because heaven is super boring, you probably don't want to go there at all, right?"

As an otaku,

Never having been this close to such a beautiful girl, Satou Kazuma couldn't help but shyly turn his eyes away,

No longer looking directly at Aqua, who was close at hand.

However, at this moment, Aqua seemed particularly eager for Satou Kazuma to choose this second option.

As she spoke, her distance from Satou Kazuma got closer and closer.

So much so that Satou Kazuma could smell the fragrant scent on her.

Just as he was immersed in the scent and hesitating, Aqua's voice sounded again.

"Having said that,"

"But wouldn't it be quite appealing in a way if you could start over~"

"So, I've already prepared a great gift for you, waiting for you here~"

Great gift?

Hearing this keyword, Satou Kazuma instantly snapped back to attention.

He looked at Aqua opposite him with full of doubt.

He was already "completely gone" like this; what good thing could there still be?

Satou Kazuma looked at the question hidden in Aqua's eyes, and Aqua put on a profound and mysterious look and asked:

"You must really be into games, right?"

Satou Kazuma was stunned by such a baffling question, but he still "hmm" and nodded.

Upon receiving this affirmative answer, Aqua suddenly stood up, and then her "great magic trick" was performed again.

"In that world, at this very moment—"

"That was originally a peaceful, beautiful, and perfect other world."

"But now, it's been thrown into chaos by the army of the evil Demon King's subordinates."

"The warm homes that the people there finally built are being mercilessly destroyed by those hateful monsters."

"The Demon King's subordinates are wantonly plundering and slaughtering the innocent with no mercy."

"The people there are living in utter misery every single day."

As she spoke, even Aqua herself was almost infected by the atmosphere.

Behind her, some inexplicable special effect halos somehow appeared. 』

『 .....』
