Chapter XVIII: Afterword

First, let's go back to the day of the end of the world. It was a busy day at the Isekai office.

It's only going to get busier.

The little hero goddess Sola

A) Less than two hours after the shift change, he was already craving a second cup of divine Ambrose (AMB

osia), also known as coffee. She stared at the bright-eyed young man sitting at her desk and felt her pulse quicken.

"I'm sorry, can you say that again?" She asked, staring at the boy calmly.

"Well, it's just...... Can't you give me some super good tricks to cheat?" According to your contract, I should defeat the three demon kings, and I think this is a very unreasonable request because I don't have any extra favors to help me!"

Solara sighed deeply, closed her eyes, and counted to ten. Then she opened the envelope, carefully reached into the cabinet under the desk, and pulled out a note.

"Well—Jerome—let me remind you of your situation," she said, glaring through her petticoat at the 18-year-old who had just gotten into the truck. She began to read.

"Jerome Smith, 18 years old, no significant achievements in life"

"Well, I'm young, you know, I don't have time!"

"Don't interrupt me, I'll be right there." Solara injected some divine energy into her glare, and the arrogant boy finally shrunk a little. She continued to read the newspaper with a glacial voice. "Cause of death: Trying to read all 2000 chapters of the web novel "Jade Beauty Go, This Lord Just Wants to Challenge the Heavens" in one sitting. Died of malnutrition, dehydration, and exhaustion. ”

She looked at the newspaper and looked at the young man who had suddenly fallen silent. "What is the reason for this favor on you?" You know, none of this is free. ”

The boy hesitantly held up a finger. "I can- - - - - - -"

Suddenly, Solara felt a wake-up call hit her senses, as if something suddenly didn't feel right. She stood up and made a gesture to silence the child. "Please wait, it seems like something is happening and I have to fix a problem."

She didn't hesitate to leave the child there and activated her [Divine Great Teleportation, which can travel a long distance], aiming for Mu

i

Di in the field of a

Planet T.

A portal opens, and she travels through the universe.

Came to hell.

She looked at the burning, crushed earth beneath her feet—once a dirt planet. Her headaches intensified.

"No, no, no...... This can't happen. "I was here two days ago, and now the whole planet is ruined!"

She racked her brains to find a living person who could explain to her, but she couldn't find one.

Until her senses found their way to the center of the planet, where she finally found a response. Something is there. Something powerful, huge, that seems to extend to the whole burning hell. It sat there dumbfounded, silent, slowly expanding, absorbing the outer shell of a nearby planet.

"A new planet?" She looked at the ground curiously, wondering what was going on here.

She threw her sense of divinity even further, forming a spiritual connection with the person.

"Hello, excuse me, can you explain what's going on here?"

Solara could feel the creature listening to her, but it didn't respond. The only reply she received was silence.

"Hey, you're in charge here, right?"

Still no response. Solara is really starting to wish she could have a cup of coffee right now.

"Listen, I know you may be a newbie, but things have to be arranged!" A [hero] plan has been sent here, you know, I need at least three demon lords for him to fight! You can't just ...... Whatever it is!"

She pointed to the burning, shattered hell around her, a world that was too far from the Demon Lord's worst schemes.

But she didn't get a response.

She glared at the ground, then kicked the lava and tumbling earth beneath her feet, cursing. "Good. I'll leave you here, and I'm sure I can arrange a time acceleration field. You'd better find some demon lords in a few hundred thousand years!"

Solara shook her head at no response, and then began to reuse her teleportation spell, which she had already begun to worry about the meetings and paperwork she had to go through to explain it.

Just as she was about to finish the incantation, she remembered an irritating detail and looked down again.

"Hey, can you tell me your name?" I'm going to use it for paperwork. We can't have a planet without a name, can we? Ignore me, I'll pick it myself. I won't be merciful. ”

Finally, she sensed some kind of response. Not a word, exactly, but she can parse the meaning very well. She frowned. "What do you mean you don't have a name?" You've got to have something I can call you!"

She got another answer, and her headache doubled. She finished chanting the teleportation spell and returned to her office, right at her desk.

At least that pesky boy is gone, probably to check out the other counters. Solara slumped on the table, trying to figure out how she could turn things around.

"Well, I'm sorry, Miss, they told me to come here-"

Solara looked up and saw a mouse-like girl walking up to her table and standing in front of her, looking around nervously.

The goddess immediately put on a professional, pious look and nodded at her. "Okay, new kid. Name?"

“Rihito。”

"Alright, give me a moment, I'll check your papers—" Solara said, opening a cupboard and pulling out a freshly made note. She began to look closely. "Well, (new bard), for your age, it's okay, cause of death: how much was it hurt?!"

She shouted the last sentence aloud, looking at the paper and at the frozen girl. Then she looked at the achievements listed. She immediately straightened her back and wore a customer service smile on her face. "Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were one of the beneficiaries of our premium reincarnation package, apologize for your rudeness."

The girl looked more nervous and shrank back. "Reincarnation... So that's really a thing? Others are talking...... Do I have to do this? Going to fight or something?"

Solara used a bit of her divine essence to cast [Calming Presence], and the girl's frightened expression vanished. "Don't worry, earthlings tend to be like that. They don't really understand like the people of your world. Solara said, the voice calming and reassuring, like a blanket by the fireplace. With the benefits you're eligible for...... You'll have plenty of options. You won't be forced to do anything. ”

The girl smiled nervously: "Ah, good. I just want to put on more music, really. I think I found something just in my... Well, you know. ”

Solara thought for a moment, then gestured to the side. "Why don't you just go to our Cozy issekai counter and see what's the alternative?" I think you'll find a piece of clothing that fits perfectly. ”

The young poet bowed. "Thank you, miss, really."

Solara nodded. "Good luck".

In-in stood up, ready to leave, and then hesitated for a moment. She turned her head away. "By the way, Miss Goddess...... You okay? You seem to be annoyed. ”

Solara activated her [Divine Eye that sees almost but not completely] and takes a closer look at herself. Her eyes are like the eyes of a dead fish.

The little goddess collapsed on the table and let out a long sigh.

"Well, it's just a matter of a new planet's name." She looked up at the girl, pensive. Bards are good at names and pronunciation, right?

"Girl, do you know how I should read it 🗿?"
