"Ah, I'm sorry. I have killed you by mistake."
An unexpected murder report.
It seems I have been somehow murdered by this god...
When we move to the sofa and I hear Syl's explanation――
"Umm... there appeared a "distortion" in a certain place, so I wanted to reinforce it, but I put too much power into it and it passed through. This "distortion" connected with a place where Takumi-san was at that time so… that… the great power passed through and directly hit Takumi-san…"
Haa――――――――...…
I let out a long sigh.
According to Syl's explanation, he didn't have any ill intent, but I died because of a trivial (?) power measurement error.
However, it doesn't seem like it ends here.
Under the influence of the power which directly hit my body, I have been already extinguished. He apparently narrowly pulled my soul into this sanctuary, but my soul still received a great shock and because of that it's not able to enter the circle of reincarnation again.
This seems to be the reason Syl was prostrating before me.
Hmm... Although I can't reincarnate again, normally, a person who died won't notice that he's reincarnated, right?
A person who remembers his previous life should be rare, right?
All my 28 years of life would get "deleted, right?
I don't know what happens after one dies naturally, but since I am able to hold a conversation like this, should I be delighted that my soul is safe?
"So, what is going happen to me from now on?"
"Eeeeh!?"
I judged that rather than worrying about death, what is going to happen to me from now on is more important so when I asked Syl made a strange face.
"Eh? Is there perhaps no after-sales service?"
Seriously!? Am I going to remain like this?
Will I remain a soul-like existence floating around?
Eh? Ghost? An unnatural existence?
"No, wrong! I have prepared for words of abuse, so Takumi-san's words just greatly surprised me."
"Ah~ Un. I have a feeling that words of abuse would be more suitable for Syl."
"..."
Although I should be angry, I don't have the recollection of actually dying. Therefore, somehow, I don't have any will to get angry.
Besides, Syl has been keeping a low profile since the beginning so I have no motivation?
If that was his intention that would make me, on the contrary, angry, but I have figured in this short time that Syl doesn't know how to properly express himself.
"It's a lie. I half-joked."
"Ha, half!?"
"Un. Half. It's true that you made a mistake in the measurement of power, reflect on it."
"... Yes."
Un, I have figured out how to handle Syl.
Is it okay to handle a god with such attitude? Is what I thought, but since Syl doesn't seem to mind, it's alright I guess?
"I will leave depression for later. So, what is going happen to me?"
"Ah, yes. First, I will make Takumi-san a new body, then I will put your soul into it."
"A new body?"
"Yes. I will compose it for you with my power."
Syl is going to make it...
...…
...
...…
...
"...... I'm worried you will fail and create something strange, though."
I'm somewhat uneasy... Syl, he looks like the clumsy type…
Physical limbs are missing! Is not what will probably happen, but… I'm worried about the things with normal functions...
"I won't! It's all right!! I will use all my power to create a proper one!!"
"I have a feeling that all your power is dangerous, so stop it. Create it carefully... and then."
"Yes, I will do my best! Unfortunately, because Takumi-san's new body will have my power dwelling inside, it won't be able to return back to Earth. Therefore, I will move you to a different world I manage――Aetherdia. Right, it would be called a different world for Takumi-san."
Aetherdia is the world with five gods.
God of Creation, Marianora
Fire God, Salamanteel
Water God, Windell
Wind God, Sylphreel
Earth God, Nomoodle
The God of Creation, Marianora-sama is the chief god. Syl and the others support Marianora-sama.
And it's apparently the well-known world of sword and magic.
"Fu~n. I have no physical ability, won't I easily die, though?"
"It's all right! I will make you a healthy body, after all! Also, I will give you skills!!"
"Skills, huh…"
"That's right! Skills!! Do you have something, in particular, you would like?"
"Let's see... First, not knowing the language would be unconventional."
Language is important. Not having a mutual understanding spells trouble.
"Language and common knowledge are easy to insert to the body, don't worry about it. Also, I will attach an appraisal skill."
"That's good, I will leave it to you. Also, an item box! Do you have something like that?"
When it comes to a different world, it's an item box, right?
The difficulty will change depending on its existence.
"There are high capacity magic tools called Magic Bag, but I recommend a variety of space magic 'Infinite Storage' which also stops the passage of time."
"Oh~ that's it! I would also want some self-defense magic or technique."
"I understand. If you don't have any specifications, I will choose for you, is that all right?"
Infinite Storage! Sounds nice. Stopping the passage of time sounds attractive.
Something to protect the body with is left!
Magic has lots of possibilities, huh… And it's not like I will be able to use a weapon...
I don't understand the varieties of magic, will it be okay to leave it to Syl? He's more or less a god, he will probably choose something suitable, right?
"I will leave it to you. Also, please don't throw me out penniless."
"I understand. It has been decided to use my attribute, wind magic for now then. I will insert the knowledge on using magic inside the body, okay! Also, I will put a necessary amount of money inside the Infinite Storage!"
Syl is the Wind God, after all. Speaking of wind magic, Wind Cutter and Air Bullet are basic, right? Well~ If he inserts the knowledge inside the body, will I be able to use magic reflexively? That will be helpful if that's the case.
Oh, moreover, not just money. What about an item! I want to ask.
"Are you ready? Takumi-san will have to sleep while I insert the soul inside the body, do you have something you want to ask before it's too late?"
"Un? Is this the last time we can talk?"
"Talking directly won't be possible for a while. If you pray towards my statue in a shrine, we should be able to converse."
"Is it all right to contact a god?"
"Yes. There won't be any problem. There might be a time when I'm busy and unable to answer, but it should be okay to contact me anytime."
Language is okay. Knowledge is good. Essential skills and items are prepared.
Is it all right?
"I can't think of anything right now, I will rely on the shrine if I have something."
"Yes. I will be waiting for you. I have caused you trouble. The next time you wake up, you will be in that world. Please, enjoy your new life without fail."
I nod to Syl and my consciousness fades away.
Ah, I forgot to tell Syl to emphasize the work on my appearances.
――And I return to the beginning.
"Umm… 'Open'."
First, in order to confirm the situation, I open the menu by relying on the inserted knowledge. Then, a black, half transparent window screen appears in front of me.
This is one of the special abilities Syl has given me.

=====
A status screen appeared.
Alright, the name is my full name. Those with Family name are nobility! Though there are cases like that, it should to be all right.
Eeeh!? Race! Question mark!? I, I am not a human?
Rather, a follower? I have become god's retainer (Temporary)!? I didn't hear anything about this, Syl!!
Why!? Is what I thought, but thinking about it carefully, this body was made by Syl so it's probably because of that...? He said something about his power dwelling inside... it can't be helped at this time... let's leave it at that.
Class. Blank space. Well, that's right.
20 years old… I became younger...
Level 3. Un? ... Ah, did my level raise after killing the Red Wolf? Then, no problems here.
Skills are... relatively decent…? To be honest, I thought Syl might forget because he's like that. Yep, I'm somehow relieved.
Let's see... the numbers are proficiency? 50 is generally "more or less usable", over 100 is skilled. Over 200 is master rank. 300 is MAX? Getting that far is a miracle.
I see~ Looking at the proficiency numbers of the skills, the magic and such is what Syl gave me and cooking and such are what I already had originally?
Because I lived alone, cooking was mundane, I sewed my buttons and did some weekend carpentering.
Still, the resistances... are completely strange? Proficiency is MAXED. Is this that? That thing Syl said he will choose himself? Ah, mou... he was too enthusiastic…
Umm, next is titles. Titles are something like nicknames or aliases?
Transmigrated From a Different World... Well~ seems right.
The God of Creation Marianora is the chief god who is supported by the four others, right?
What is a blessing? When did I receive a blessing? Well… while I was asleep, right…
But, wouldn't it say "Blessing of the Wind God's Sylphreel" normally?
――Piron♪
Ah, the titles increased.
Let's see, let's see... "Friend of Wind God Sylphreel"...
Alright! Let's move on!
U~mm, next is...
There's a tab beside status and item menu.
It's a map.
When I try to view that, a map appears on the whole screen. This is apparently a world map.
Rough dotted lines are drawn, country names and their capitals are displayed. There are ten countries on the main continent. One island country. And one Confederation on a small archipelago. There are 12 countries in total.
There's a forest on the south side in the center of the continent.
There's small white pin stuck in the place it says "Gaya Forest".
When I touch that pin, the map zooms in and the area around the pin becomes detailed.
Yep, this is the place I'm at. I'm sure.
When I move while looking at the map, the pin also moves. Present location found!
I slide the map away and inquire about the details of this forest.
This "Gaya Forest" is large. Furthermore, this forest passed through five countries.
Where should I go? From my present location, the Guardia Country in the east is closest. There's a town called Shirin slightly away from the forest.
Let's go there. The destination, a town called Shirin.
Umm, next is...
The next tab is the item list. While thinking to examine that, I felt like someone was watching me, so I turned around and saw two little children looking at me.
Azure colored hair and gold eyes. Thin bodies with simple ragged clothes stained with dirt.
Judging from the atmosphere, one is a girl and one a boy, but two of them looks exactly the same.
Twins?
It's strange that there are children alone in the forest, I don't sense any other people around.
「Are you lost? Did you come here alone?"
When I ask the most plausible reason, the children tilt their heads. They look blankly at me in silence.
When I take a step forward, they take a step back.
... They seem to be cautious of me.
I use the appraisal skill and a window appears in front of me.
It seems that appraising other people is possible.

=====
It seems I'm not able to view the skill proficiency of other people.
Or is it related to the proficiency of my appraisal skill?
Nevertheless, why do I feel like the status of these two children is not normal…
The name parts are blank… it means that they don't have names, right?
Also, "human?" again. Is that race normal over here?
The titles part is question marks…
N~ what should I do? First of all, leaving like this would be inhumane…
"There's nothing to fear, won't you come over here?"
Ah, they came when I called.
I had to drop on my knees and timidly beckon them, but they approached.
"Umm, Washing… and Heal."
First, I cleaned their bodies with Life Magic. As the name suggests, Life Magic is closely related to livelihood. Wash the target with Washing, illuminate surroundings with Light, make things dry with Dry etc... It has the smallest power, but it has a wide range of uses, it's convenient magic usable with the smallest amount of magic power.
The eyes of the two shined and blinked in surprise, but they probably judged that they are in no danger so they didn't run away.
After making their bodies clean, I could see small wounds all over their bodies so I healed them with healing magic. Healing Magic is Light attribute magic so I have it.
"All right! This is good. The next is a meal..."
They are this thin, they must be very hungry.
I check the item list while thinking so.
"Umm, there is... money, equipment, medicine… water and food. Food is… umm... hard-baked bread and dried meat… It seems too hard for the children right now. It seems hard to digest… Ah, fruit. Would this be easier to eat?"
The fruit, Ranka is sweet and rehydrating, it greatly resembles a peach. I retrieve fruits from the Infinite Storage and offer it to the two children.
"Here, eat up."
I place the fruit in the hands of the two children.
The two examine and sniff the Ranka fruit in their hands. After a while, they confirm that it's not dangerous and start eating.
They look like small animals.
Seeing them comfortably eating, I once again confirm the contents of the item list.
"There's also… raw meat, vegetables, and wheat flour... huh..."
... Syl. Even if you give me ingredients, I can't cook without seasonings...
――Piron♪
Ah, an item was added.
A set of kitchen utensils and seasonings were added to the item list after I complained towards Syl. Seems like Syl confirmed the circumstances over here and send me the items.
There's only one thing I can do!
I would love tableware. Additional change of clothes and towels would be nice.
Ah, there a considerable distance from here to the nearest town. An overcoat or blanket would really help for camping.
――Piron♪
I heard a mechanical sound from somewhere and a large number of items was added to the list.
... Yep. Syl, thank you.
While I was doing that, the children finished eating the fruit and jii~ were staring at me.
Because the clothes added to the item list were not only for me, but even for the children, I decided to change their clothes.
I click on the "Clothes" on the item list and retrieve clothes from the Infinite Storage.
"Isn't it too tight, can you move freely?"
Oh, they nodded. It seems all right.
These children, although they do not talk, they properly understand me, right?
"I'm now going to leave the forest and go to the nearby town, do you want to go together with me?"
I can't leave the children here so I ask them, the two children look at each other.
They seem to be conversing. Although they are not talking…
Is that it? The mutual understanding between twins?
They look at me. Did they decide? Nodding means they want to go with me, right?
"I'm Takumi. Best regards."
