I heard their cries and pleads. For me to stay, for me to not leave them alone. It was inevitable that I'd go so early, due to this sickness of mine.
There were a lot more things I wanted to do, but I guess this is the end.

I slowly closed my eyes as my family's cries got louder.

And right then and there, I, Shibuya Kotori, died.

Well, that was what I expected, but...

What the hell am I doing floating in space? I don't know if this is really space, but it looks like space. It's honestly cool, but weird how I am calm in this impossible situation.

As I was thinking about my circumstances, a voice suddenly spoke to me.

"Shibuya Kotori, such a pitiful death."

It sounded like a robotic voice, but I could sense some pity in the voice.
Though that's not important right now, I gotta ask what's happening.

"Um, where am I?"

"Hm, a good question. You are nowhere, but also here at the same time."

Those words sounded kind of stupid, but I'll ignore that.

"No use beating around the bush, as you humans would say. I have you here to give you a chance of reincarnation, Kotori."

Reincarnation? So it does exist. Wait, how do I know I'm not just high from weed, due to some maniac sneaking into my hospital room and making my unconscious body smoke some weed?

"I can assure you that you have died, Kotori. I guess I did a mistake in not introducing myself. I am what you would consider as God."

A God, huh...

Honestly, I didn't really believe in Gods in my life, so I don't know what to say.

"So, uh, God. Why exactly did you have to personally talk to me just to reincarnate me?"

"Ah, yes. I have seen that you died quite a pitiful way, so I decided to personally hear from you how you wish to live on your next life. You see, those lives that I saw that had a pitiful death, I would personally talk to so that I could hear their wish on how they want to live in the next life. Even ants, I give a chance to."

Even ants? Wow, that's a really good God? I guess? So I need to think about how I want to live on my next life, huh. When I think about it, I could easily choose to live as an overpowered person, like the ones on those light novels that I read, but I find that kinda boring.

"I think it'll take time for me to think up of how I want to live in my next life, is that okay?"

I ask to make sure. I mean, with the many lives that this God probably looks at, there must be a lot of deaths, along with pitiful ones, so taking up his time might anger him and deny my chance at a potentially better life.

"I see why you are worried, but fret not. I would not be a God, if I couldn't grant wishes of a billion souls that pitifully died simultaneously."

"I see, so I can take my time then?"

"Yes, of course."

Alright, so I have all the time in the world to possibly think of the perfect way to live in my next life. Though, thinking about it, that might be boring. Living absolutely perfectly, I mean. Hm, a simple life? A life full of murder? Wait, would that have God retract my wish because it was an immoral one?

"No, it would not. I respect your wishes, and will not consider if it is immoral or not."

I see, so even if I wanted be an H protagonist who'd go on to hypnotize the world into becoming my slaves, God would still grant it.
