Prologue
“Kazuma Satou… Welcome to the Great Beyond. I am the goddess Eris, and I will show you a new path. Your life in this world is over.”
When I opened my eyes, I was in a place that looked like a Roman temple.
The girl before me spoke those words, but I couldn’t fathom what she meant.
She was clad in a billowing white Feather Dress, with long silver hair and alabaster skin.
I thought I could sense a shadow over her face, upon her somehow fleeting beauty.
There was no telling her actual age, but she could have passed for younger than me.
The blue eyes of the goddess who called herself Eris looked at me with pity as I stood there and stared at her.
As her words sank in, I realized I was dead.
It was all oddly familiar.
It had been like this when I met that other self-proclaimed goddess, Aqua, which was what led me to “that” world to begin with.
But this time, I remembered what had happened just before I died.
As that thought crossed my mind, I felt something trickle down my cheek.
That hadn’t happened when I’d died the first time.
Huh… Who knew?
It turned out I’d liked that stupid, no-good world more than I thought.
