Chapter 1

He opened his eyes and looked around, he saw nothing but a tiled floor that extened for what seemed like infinity in a void, he heard the voice of woman behind him speaking:

"Satou Kazuma san, welcome to the after life"

He looked towards the sound, and saw a beautiful young woman with sky blue eyes and hair, she was wearing white and dark blue garment.

She walked past him and sat on a luxurious chair in front of him. somehow, he failed to notice the existence of that chair before. The woman spoke again:

"I am Aqua, the water goddess worshipped by the axis sect... your life was short, but you are indeed……dead"

His thoughts were all over the place, he tried to remember what happened before he came here, he recalled leaving his room for the first time in forever to buy a limited edition game. on his way back he saw a girl crossing the street unaware of the vehicle approaching her. He rushed and pushed her out of harms way, and that was his last memory. he still couldn't remember how he died, so he decided to ask the goddess in front of him:

"how did I die exactly?"

The goddess went awkwardly silent for a few moments, then she started laughing loudly:

"it was helarious, you died of shock after you thought the traktor ran you over, you wet yourself and looked so dumb that even the medics who arrived at the scene laughed at you. The doctors in the hospital laughed at you when they heard about your death, and right now your family is.."

"stooooop stop stop stop, plase stop, I don't want to hear anymore of that"

The godess gradually stopped laughing:

"I've been doing this for a long time, but this is the first time I hear about a death so helarious…But anyway, now that I have vented my stress, let's get down to business"

Damn her…..

"from here, people usually get 2 choices: either go to heaven, or be reincarnated as a baby to live once more. But let me tell you, heaven is not the dreamy place you think it is, all you can do there is stare at nothingness, and starting again from square 1 isn't fun right? So I have a deal for you, a certain world has come under attack by a demon king and his army, so its inhabitants are refusing to be reborn there, so we thought we could send people from other worlds there with their memories and bodies intact, and have them defeat the demon king. What do you think? It is just like the games NEETs like you play"

"wait wait, I died outside of my room, that proves that I am not a NEET….also, if someone like me who had a peaceful life was sent there, they would just die...right?"

"we thought of this, and so, to raise your chances of survival and defeating the demon king, you will be granted the right to bring any one thing with you, it can be a strong weapon, or a special skill..not a bad deal, right? "

The goddess brought a number of cards, each representing a skill or a weapon, and presented them to Kazuma:

"here you go, choose one, and let your adventure begin"

…. After some time had passed….

The goddess was sitting on her chair, staring at Kazuma who had scattered the cards all over the floor and was comparing them, she said with a bored tone:

"come on just pick one already, it isn't like anyone expects anything from a NEET like you. hurry up, I have business to attend to"

This little….Damn her, getting cocky just because she is somewhat cute, I'll show her

"I can bring any one thing with me?"

"that's right"

Kazuma pointed at her and said:

"then, I choose to bring you"

The goddess stared at him for a while, then stood up and walked towards him while saying:

"alright, now stand still so that I can…..wait what?"

"I choose you as the THING I bring with me, you will use your godly powers to make my life in the new world as comfortable as possible"

Before the goddess could reply, a light appeared out of nowhere, it became a circle and from it descended a woman with feathery wings:

"Satou Kazuma san, your wish has been heard and approved. Aqua sama, I shall take over your job until you defeat the demon king, now please stand still and don't leave the magic circle"

Looking down, kazuma saw a magic circle with a dim blue light underneath him surrounding both him and the goddess Aqua, he looked at the dumbfounded Aqua who took a while before comprehending what just happened, the change of her expressions indicated that she finally caught up, and she started speaking:

"no no no, wait a moment, this is not right, to bring a goddess with you must be against some laws, and even if it isn't, I can't fight a demon, a goddess like me should not engage in such violence! "

The circle underneath her started shining

"nooo wait wait, noooo , I don't want to be sent to that world with this NEET, this should not happen"

The circle was not showing any sign of stopping its function, Aqua started to panic, and tried to dispel the teleportation magic:

"break spell….break spell………. BREAK SPELL…..SACRED BREAK SPELL"

The winged goddess looked a bit worried:

"Aqua sama, please stop before you disturb the teleportation and…"

It was too late, the circle suddenly changed color to purple and started to shine too bright, forcing the winged goddess to look away, and with a loud sound, it exploded….when she looked back at the place where the circle was, the winged goddess could not see it, nor the human or the goddess it was supposed to teleport.

"this can't be good" she said with a worried tone.

Kazuma opened his eyes once more, the shining light of the magic circle had disappeared, and he found himself standing on a grassy plain in front of a gate and a huge wall, several figures were standing near the gate, holding spears, they must be the guards.

Passing through the gate was a carriage dragged by a horse. its driver was a young boy with blond hair that covered most of his face. Surrounding the carriage were 6 people: one leading the group, he had a sword and a shield, to his sides were 2 people with leather armor, one of those two had a bow on his back, behind the carriage were 3 people: one looked really young and carried some sort of a staff, the next person was an extremely beautiful woman in plain clothes. Kazuma kept staring at that woman until he noticed the last person staring at him, he was huge and wore dark armor that covered his entire body, the woman noticed that her companion was looking at something, looked back and saw kazuma, her eyes met his, they were filled with disgust, then she went near the armored man and whispered something, they seemed to have a short conversation, and then the woman bowed.

With that, the attention the group had given kazuma ended. Kazuma kept staring at them as they went further and further ahead.

Spears? Armor?horses? This is indeed a new world

"goodbye NEET life, hello my new adven…ture???"

The spearmen were running towards him with their spears ready. Kazuma felt that they were not coming to welcome him, he felt slightly afraid of what might happen, and looked at the goddess beside him, who had not done anything at all so far:

"oi goddess, do you know why these people are running towards us? Did I do something wrong?"

The goddess didn't respond, her eyes didn't even blink, he felt something was wrong..other than the approaching Spearmen

"did something wrong happen?goddess ? Oi goddess ? What should we do? Goddess ?"

"not familiar….." the goddess said with a half muted voice

"what?"

"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE STRANGERS, NO SUDDEN MOVES"

The loud warning interrupted the goddess, she and kazuma looked at the speaker, he was one of the spearmen:

"why did you come here? and how did you appear here out of the blue? Were you using invisibility magic? Are you magic casters? spys from the empire??"

The questions kept coming at kazuma who did not know how to respond, and faced with the threat of the spears, all he could do was raise his hands in surrender and shout:

"no no no, please don't kill me, I surrender, I SURRENDER"

The guards shifted their gaze to the woman with blue hair, she looked at them with a dumb expression, she still had not figured out that they saw her as a threat. Thanks to his experience with her – despite it being extremely short- kazuma knew that, and he said:

"she won't fight either, right goddess ? you won't do something as dangerous as fighting men with weapons, right?"

Aqua looked like she finally understood the situation, yet, her reply was not what Kazuma had hoped for:

"are you an idiot? A majestic goddess like me does not do such barbaric acts like fighting, of course I won't fight"

Still, the guards looked a litte bit relieved, but their leader ordered:

"don't let your guard down just yet, stay alert….you, check them for any hidden weapons and then tie there hands"

"yes sir"

The guard approached the 2 strangers, he went for the young man first, but an unexplainable worried look soon appeared on his face as his hand slowly approached the stranger, the leader noticed that and asked:

"what's wrong?"

"it's nothing sir, just that the clothes this man is wearing are made from a material I have never seen before, I fear it might be enchanted with some weird magic"

"hmmm, now that you say it, indeed, this is definitely the first time I see such a thing" the leader replied, and then he directed his talk to kazuma "what kind of clothes is that?"

Kazuma hurriedly answered " a tracksuit, i swear it is not dangerous, so please stop pointing your spears at me, I am a fragile man and one stab could ruin me, in fact here, I'll take the jacket off, go ahead and verify it isn't dangerous"

With that, kazuma unzipped his jacket and took it off, and then handed it to the guard who treated it like he would treat a snake. After flipping it around for some time, the guard was convinced that the weird clothes will not harm him, and then finished checking kazuma for weapons and tied his hands. Then he went for Aqua, who immediately protested:

"What do you think you're doing? trying to touch a pure goddess like me with such lust filling your eyes??"

Hearing the random protest , the guard had a confused look on his face:

"goddess ? Lust? What the hell are you talking about??"

"indeed I am a goddess, and you are being rude to me, for that you shall get divine retribution"

Kazuma saw suspicion slowly appearing on the faces of the guards,so he quickly interrupted:

"please forgive her, she is just a proud idiot." then he looked at aqua "you self-proclaimed goddess , please stop this and let the gentlemen here do their job"

"wha… How dare you, you NEET! "

"Just shut up and cooperate , in fact If you do not, I will help them restrain you"

Aqua had a shocked expression… but she seemed to have accepted defeat, and the guard was finally able to search her.

After that, the guards led both Aqua and kazuma to the prison, the entire time Aqua kept blabbering about changing the water the guards drink to toilet water, but they simply ignored her.

Now sitting in the cell next to Aqua's cell, kazuma was starting to get depressed:

"an adventure in a new world? This is not what I agreed on! you false goddess, this is false advertisement, send me back, send me back home!"

Aqua looked at him with a mixture of defeat and anger in her eyes:

"who are you calling a false goddess you shut in NEET? And do you think I would have stayed in this world for one second if I could get back??"

"what do you mean by that?"

"I lost most of my divine powers when I was sent here, and now I am stuck!"

"then what do we do?? I am only a normal human, and if what you said is true, you are now a useless goddess, we have no hope of defeating the demon king"

"this is not the problem you stupid NEET"

"Hey hey, don't call me a NEET……...what did you mean by that just now?"

"isn't it obvious? This is not the world you were supposed to go to, there is no demon king here for us to defeat and go home. in fact this world is totally new to me, and most likely the other gods don't know about it. so they can't send someone to take me back"

With that declaration, the goddess started to cry and shout at kazuma with a panicked voice:

"this is all your fault, how am I supposed to go back to the heavenly realm now? A goddess like me should not live with NEETs like you…what do I do..what do I do?"

Listening to the goddess whaling, kazuma understood the situation he was in

"I am so screwed"
