Volume 1 Chapter 3 A World with Dungeons (III)
"That's not wayyyy!!!!!!!"
"Ugh, so annoying! Also, your snot and drool are gross!! "
When I realized it, I was in a place that felt like being on a cloud, and the self-proclaimed goddess hugged me with snot and drool all over.
The self-proclaimed goddess is really, really beautiful.
She is much prettier than any idol, actress, or model I have seen on TV or in magazines... she's that kind of stunning beauty.
And she hugged me, the stunning beauty came to me.
Any guy would be happy about that.
But, but...
The beautiful goddess hugged me with a face all messy and wet from tears, snot, and drool.
Of course, when she hugged me, her face buried into my chest, leaving behind a wet and messy spot.
By the way, the reason this happened is that the self-proclaimed goddess heard my story and felt sorry for me.
Even so, I should be dead, but here I am, with my body all messy and wet from the goddess's tears and other strange fluids... what's going on?
"Yes, I will answer that!"
Saying this, the 'stunning beauty,' now called 'Soggy Goddess,' raised her hand energetically.
It seems she read my thoughts... how did she know?
"Even though you've died, you're still here with a body because I thought your good deeds were wonderful! I'm still a great god. You can worship me even more!"
Noisy.
"Therefore, I want you to live the life of a 'super high spec hero'. Therefore, I want you to experience that life is wonderful. Therefore..."
"Therefore...Therefore..." Shut up. You say "Therefore" too much...,
"So, let me send you to another world!"
"Huh...?"
The moment I thought that, I was forced to transport to another world by the soggy goddess without a second thought.
......and.
* * *
"Thank you, everyone. This is the last time, but I'm going back to Japan... back to my original world."
I was taken to another world by the Soggy goddess.
Five years have passed since then.
In this other world, I became a hero, defeated the demon lord, and saved the world.
After a while, the Soggy goddess suddenly appeared in my dream and asked, "Do you want to stay in this world or go back to your original world?"
It seems she still likes to act without warning.
"I can't decide right away!" I said, but she replied, "Okay, I'll wait 3 days," so now I have 3 days to think. Still, isn't that a bit too short?
Even though I didn't have a choice, I'll use the 3 days to find my answer.
...And then, 3 days later.
"I'm going back to my original world."
I told the goddess that I would return to Japan.
After telling the goddess, I called my friends who came with me to defeat the demon lord and told them, "I'm going back to my original world."
Then, everyone cried for me.
In Japan, there probably wasn't anyone other than my family who would cry for me...
After all, I didn't have any friends.
But here, in this other world, there are so many people who cry for me.
In that case, I thought it might be better to stay in this other world.
But the answer is no.
I wanted to restart my life in the world I was meant to live in and live a life just as enjoyable as the other world... no, even more enjoyable.
After a while, the day finally came when I returned to Japan from the other world.
I was now in the most important cathedral in the country, where the Soggy Goddess is enshrined.
By the way, this place is designated by the goddess.
And as it was our final farewell, my friends who had fought alongside me and supported me up until now gathered together.
"Takeru! Don't forget about me... about us! If you forget, I'll never forgive you!"
"Takeru-san, I really like you. So, if I could go back to 'Japan' with you, please make me your wife. ... No, I will take you as my 'husband'! You can't say no! I want all of you!"
"Takeru~! Someday, I will be able to go to 'that place'! I will keep studying how to teleport to your world! And when that research works, you have to take responsibility and marry me! That's my plan!"
"M-Me too, I really love you too, Takeru! Even if we are both 'boys', that's not a big deal, right? Right, Takeru?"
I received many heartfelt words from my friends who traveled with me.
I wonder if some of them sounded like threats or had 'strange' comments?
No, I must be just imagining things.
That must be true.
Let's just say that's the way it is.
After all, someone once said there are some things in this world we don't need to know and shouldn't know!
* * *
After saying goodbye to everyone, the Soggy Goddess appeared at the cathedral and took my hand.
Then, suddenly shining bright, I realized I was in that place in the clouds where I first met the goddess before transported to this world.
"Takeru. One last check. Will you stay in this world? Or will you go back to Japan?"
"I... I will go back to Japan."
I answer the question of the squishy goddess immediately.
"...I see. You've gotten stronger, Takeru. In both mind and body."
"Yes. I was forced to go to another world by you, but thanks to the 'gift' you gave me, I was able to become a hero, defeat the Demon Lord and save the world. And most of all, I was able to meet those people who trusted me and helped me... I'm grateful."
"I'm really happy to hear you say that. But, Takeru... when you go back to your old world, your level will go back to '1'. Of course, your status will also be 'level 1'. This means that the highest level you reached in this world, which was level 120, will be reset. ...But still, do you want to go back to your old world?"
"Of course. I gained confidence in this world. This time, even if I go back to the old world, I won't be weak and I won't lose to unfair things. I will never think about wanting to be bullied and die again, and I promise I won't do it!"
"I see, I understand. Then, good luck when you go back to your old world. You probably won't see me again. Lastly, Takeru... you are a wonderful person. Always and forever. So, please, even when you go back to your old world... don't lose to unfair things and keep doing your best!"
"I got it. Thank you!"
At first, the Soggy goddess was weirdly formal, but in the end, she sent me off with the same friendly smile she had when she teleported me to this world.
And so, I returned to my old world... Japan.
