(Quick note on how the dialogue works)


Writing like this = narration

Insert name: "insert text" = character speech

Insert name: insert text = actions, if these happen

Insert name = 'insert text' = thoughts

Writing like this = special narration, if that ever happens


(Okay, that's it. Now, please enjoy this chapter.)


Opening his eyes, Y/N L/N found himself in an empty space, with nothing but a checkered floor, a wooden armchair and the chair he was sitting on. And the chair next to him, on which was sitting another guy. Ignoring him for a second, Y/N took another look around the void. There still wasn't anything, so he went back to looking after the guy, who was looking at him.

Y/N: "Uh... Who are you?"

Kazuma: "Uh... I'm Kazuma. You?"

Y/N: "Y/N."

Kazuma: "Well, nice to meet you. Any idea where we are, though?"

Y/N: "None. You?"

Kazuma: "Also none."

Out of things to talk about, they sat there in silence for just a while before someone walked up to them from behind. When they heard the footsteps, they turned around to see who it is. They saw a woman with long, aqua-blue hair with a water-molecyle clip tying it into a partial loop. She wore a vest, detached sleeves, boots that reached thighs, a short miniskirt with a see-through underskirt. Going around her neck from behind and over her shoulders and under her arms from in front, she had a see-through pink hagoromo. She walked past the guys and spoke.

?: "Satou Kazuma, Y/N L/N, welcome to the afterlife. Unfortunately, you both passed away a short moment ago."

She walked to the armchair and sat down on it, putting a leg over the other.

?: "Your lives were short ones, but you are dead. Both of you."

There was a short silence, Y/N having no words to describe what he's thinking and feeling. As he was thinking, Kazuma spoke up.

Kazuma: "Just one question... Did the girl I pushed away get hurt?"

?: "She scraped her knee."

Kazuma: "Oh... Well, I'm glad she didn't get more hurt. Guess I died for something."

?: "She wouldn't have gotten hurt if you didn't push her away, though."

Kazuma: "Huh?"

Kazuma, who had been hanging his head low, looked up at the girl in front of them.

?: "The tractor wouldn't have hit her, you know? It's a tractor, not a sports car."

Kazuma: "Wait, tractor? Wasn't it a truck?"

?: "What? No. Are your eyes okay? It was a little red tractor. How could you see it as a truck? Kukuku, is it because today was your first time outside in weeks?"

The woman started laughing, and Y/N was holding back his own chuckles. He felt a bit bad for laughing at a stranger's death, but he's laughed at worse stuff.

Kazuma: "O-Oi, don't laugh at me! How did I die to a tractor, anyway?! Did it crush my head or something?!"

?: "You pissed your pants from fear and died of shock!"
