Esora Pov.

When I finally opened my eyes, I found myself sitting in a wooden chair in the middle of a ... room? I see a white and black tiled floor but the ceiling and walls seem to just be black nothingness. In front of me was a more elegant-looking chair with a nightstand and book laying on top of it.

"What is this place?" I wondered out loud until I looked to the side and saw... "Kazuma?!"

Sitting in a chair next to me is my best friend, Kazuma, dressed in his favourite green and black tracksuit.

His green eyes goes wide in shock at the sight of me, "Esora?! How are you here? Wait, where are we in the first place?!"

"You're both in the afterlife..." Kazuma and I turned our heads at the source of the voice.

Appearing from the darkness was what I could describe as the most beautiful girl I have seen in my life. I couldn't compare her to the idols, actresses or models I've seen in television or magazines.

She has long, straight silky aqua blue hair that didn't look dyed, her skin was flawless, soft-looking and fair, her eyes were the same colour as her hair and it was like she had the whole ocean under her eyelids. She had a slim figure with average sized breasts that weren't too small nor too big, and she looks a few centimeters shorter than me. She seemed to be wearing a Magical Girl inspired outfit with the main colour being a darker blue than hr hair with white, green and gold being the accent colours. She halso had the top half of her hair tied into a loop with a spherical hair clip that looks like a H20 molecule.

The girl makes her way to the empty chair in rent of us and sits in it.

"Tsuyuzaki Esoraand Satou Kazuma, although you both lived short lives, your lives have come to an abrupt end."

"Dead?" I blinked in shock as I tried to process her words before I instantly remembered what happened before I ended up here. 'That's right, I remembered being shot and passed out. So is this... limbo? But if Kazuma's here then did he also die?'

"Just one question..." The girl and I looked to Kazuma, "That girl I pushed out of harm's way, is she okay?"

The blue haired girl nods her head to the question, "She lives, but she fractured her leg."

Kazuma releases a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness..."

"Wait, what's this about you pushing a girl out of harms way? How did you die, Kazuma?" I asked since I was eager to know what happened.

"Well, that girl would've been fine if you hadn't knocked her away." says the blue haired girl making Kazuma and I look at her in confusion.

"The tractor would've been stopped before hitting the girl. It was a slow tractor, after all. That means your 'selfish act of heroism' just made things worst..."

"Hey, wait a minute! A tractor? Did I die from getting run over by a tractor?" Kazuma asks.

I winced at the thought, "That be such a harsh way to go! You lying helplessly on the ground while a large bulk of steel slowly crushes your bones..."

Kazuma shivers, "Just the thought of it gives me the heebyjeebies..."

On the other hand, the girl in front of us lets out a snort, "A terrible way to go... if it were true. Pfft!"

Kazuma and I looked at the girl in confusion as her composed and stoic expression breaks when she starts laughing uncontrollable. "Pufufu! I've been doing this for a long time, but you're the first human to die in such a hilarious way. As if you mistaking a tractor for a truck wasn't bad enough, the funnier part is that you thought you were run over and died from shock! Because of your close call with the tractor, you fell unconscious and control of your bladder. When you were rushed to the hospital, the doctors and nurses were laughing at you while saying 'What a pathetic guy!' as you didn't regain consciousness and had a heart attack!"
