If there is a God to throw away, there is a God to pick up (?) away.
The place where I was sucked in again was a complete white space that was totally different from the void. I had just gotten used to the pitch-black emptiness so it was so bright!
I turn around and there it is ...... A blurred female
silhouette.
It was a beautiful and gently illuminated mass of blue
light.
It seemed to me that she was much more sacred than the gods
who had attended the auction earlier.
Maybe this person is a god too. A (provisional) god. It's
kind of warm and very friendly.
That provisional god is, holding tongs in her right hand,
While fanning the shichirin using uchiwa in her left hand,
...... Cooking the meat.
The fat on the heated coals was dripping and making a
delicious sound.
.................. What is this???
『...... Welcome, Aihara Runa. An abducted soul from another
world. I am a 《vessel》. 《vessel of a nameless god》
...... The one who is created but has no authority, the one who only watches
......』
Wait! Don't turn the meat over while introducing yourself in a stern tone of voice! What the hell? What the hell are you doing?
『...... As you can see, it's grilled meat. Well, come on
over here. Aren't you hungry?』
No, I know it's barbecued meat! I don't know what's going on here! What's happening to me now! What am I involved in! but, Eh, do you actually hear my thoughts! But that meat looks super tasty.
『I'm sorry for the confusion. I will explain the situation
you are in now. As for your thoughts, yeah it is ...... It is very easy for me
to read, therefore I would like to be allowed to have a peek at it. As for the meat, it is cooked for you to eat,
so please enjoy it』
Oh, really? Can you give me the meat? Yay!
The meat was absorbed into my soul, and I was flooded with
the taste sensations and satisfaction that come when we eat meat.
U...... Ummm! Oh, I love this meat! I mean, how can you eat
in a soul state!
Ah, tender and fatty and sweet...... This Galbi is the best
.......
That' s not it!
Eh, I had some idea of that. But a pawn is ...... What do
you mean?
『The purpose of the gods in the hall was to reincarnate
souls from other worlds into their realm of jurisdiction, Ardist, and enjoy
watching their lives as stories. Recording their lives and
"broadcasting" them to other gods is popular, and it is becoming
increasingly popular these days. In fact, earth-born souls are easier than
Ardist souls to process and give blessings to. They are "easy to use"
for Gods. That is why the Ardist’ gods use abducted souls from the earth as
pawns in their stories of reincarnation!』
Ehhh~ ...... I've heard that cross-world reincarnation is some kind of genre of story ....... That was a play by the gods!? As the person whose soul was actually abducted, it does make me sick, it feels like I'm being used as a toy! They're going to turn us into pawns without regard to our circumstances, right?
You can't do that! You can't, because you're a god. God,
frickin' hell!
『Besides, reincarnated people are usually given a blessing
...... In other words, they are given the ability to cheat. If you use it well,
you can use it to advance your life quite advantageously, even if it's somewhat
chaotic. Even if it's without his/her consent, it's not without benefit to the
reincarnated person』
...... Well, I guess that means it's useless to complain
about the absolute existence of gods, which have different values in the first
place. Huh.
I myself have no regrets about my previous life at all, and
my other classmates ...... Well, I don't care what happens to them. They don't
like me. I had no reason to care about them. All right, let's not talk about
it.
Somehow, the life of a reincarnated person is being treated
as an interesting show!?
『Okay, back to the story........ I wasn't in attendance at
the auction I mentioned earlier, but I happened to be nearby. ...... Then the
scent of your soul reached me, even though I was supposed to be outside the
hall.』
Oh ...... Does my soul smell amazing? I'm sorry, do you
smell it now? Are you tolerating it?
『Ufufu. Don't worry, it doesn't stink. I'm used to it.
...... Rather, it smells very good to me』
Really?
『Yes, that's right. They are the ones that dirty, smelly,
and rude. I don't care if those stupid gods don't like me, I don't care.......
So. I looked into the hall, amazed at the scent of your soul, and what I saw
was a scene of you being abandoned to emptiness......... Even if I have enjoyed
watching the life of a reincarnated person too, I have the same idea with how
you might think, what's to say ...... I felt that this kind of atrocity should
not be allowed to happen. If you're just going to abduct a soul without
permission, you can't just throw that soul away irresponsibly! So I had to
help, I thought. Normally, souls that are sucked into nothingness are usually
disappeared in a cloud of dust, you know.』
So, that's right ...... Nothingness is a scary place to be
......!
If I had spent more time in those nothingness, I would have
disappeared too .......
『............. Yeah, I know. So, I thought I should help
you soon. This space ...... It's my personal space, and I'm moving here in a
hurry』
Yup.
『To help you out』
Yup.
『So that's why I started doing barbecue.』
...... Yup. That part, I don't know what you mean: .......
『Nothingness is the darkness that goes on without end. It's
the chasm of an endless world』
『Once you have fallen, it is extremely difficult to rescue you. I had to have you somehow get closer to the coordinates where my personal space exists』
Um ...... Ummm, that's something difficult to say, but that
means .......
『It means that I did barbecue and let the smell of it flow
into the void, making the presence of this space known to you. And just as I
intended, you were lured by the scent of the barbecue, and it got you here. ........
Oh! oh! I'm so glad I was able to help! One or two, I'm really glad I tried to
roast the meat. ......! !』
《God's Vessel》-sama is impressed again and makes a
gesture of rubbing her eyes. What's this, this person is an inspiring person.
...... If you think again, It's hard to understand how can
roasting meat is the kind of method you do to rescue a soul from
nothingness ......
It seems to me that this person has done it for me, and I'm
sure that's what he did for me.
Thank you very much!
...... But why did this person do so much for me?
『............』
《God's Vessel》-sama stopped grilling the meat and
turned straight to me.
『Genuinely, I wanted to help you. I'm not lying about that
feeling. But, to be honest, it was also within my calculation. If I could have
helped you, there was something I would have asked of you.』
You want me to do something?
『Yes. Aihara Runa-san. You, with me ...........Would you mind reincarnating in another world, please?』
