Volume 1 Chapter 39 Goddess Nessa
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
The surroundings are dark.
No matter how much I reach out, I can’t touch anything,
and it feels like my body is floating in the air,
just drifting around. Suddenly,
a blue window with blue text, like in a game, appears in front of me.
(Congratulations!)
”…No way… Did I die? …”
First of all, yes, first of all.
In my previous life, I just went to sleep normally and ended up here.
I wasn’t sick or anything,
I didn’t drink a lot of alcohol,
and I wasn’t using any dangerous drugs.
”This is way too confusing… In other world reincarnation stories, isn’t this supposed to be a one-time special spot…?”
”Tsk, tsk, tsk. In many stories, there are times when you come to places like this more than once!”
Suddenly, a voice called out from behind me.
It seems that, unlike last time, a god-like being has come.
”Um, who are you?”
As I said this, I turned to look in the direction of the voice.
Then, instead of a god, I saw a small girl who looked more like a scientist.
She had beautiful blonde hair, but it was messy.
Her eyes were a jewel-like blue, but she wore black-rimmed glasses.
Her skin was mysterious and translucent white.
She wore a lab coat that hid her up to her ankles.
Her small bare feet peeked out.
She was about the same height as Nana, around 110 to 120 centimeters (3’7″ to 3’11”), which is quite tall for her.
By the way, my height is 145 centimeters (4’9″).
”Hehe… Now that you see me, you can tell who I am right away, can’t you?”
The girl winked and confidently raised her right index finger.
”…I’m even more confused now. Is this actually Earth? …Could this strange 0-gravity situation be caused by science…?”
”No, no! How did it come to that!? It’s a god! A-god! The goddess Vanessa Gracia Seraphim Revalus! It was the god who summoned Tsukimori Yuuto here!!”
With a big gesture that seemed like it could have a sound effect like “Bam!”, she declared such ridiculous things.
…Tsukimori Yuuto is my name from my past life.
”The goddess Vanessa… is a god worshipped in Yggrasil, right? Can I ask why such a god called me here when I’m not even dead? …Also, I’m Rob Cartwood now.”
I asked with a tired look, placing my hand on my forehead.
”Yeah, of course! That’s because… I’m going to transform your body and soul as my apostle!!”
She said this with a confident expression, hands on her hips, as if to say, “Aren’t you surprised?”
”…Transform, huh? Could it be that you’re not a goddess, but actually an evil god?”
I started to feel a bit scared of this mysterious little girl.
”What!? Don’t compare me to someone who creates a bunch of demon races! I’m a proper goddess of the human race! The reason I summoned Rob here is that you were the most outstanding! Out of about a hundred people randomly reincarnated from Earth to Yggrasil, you were the best! I’m giving you the power needed to defeat the Demon King!!”
…Please stop getting so close to my face and shouting.
”…I see, even if I max out all my levels, I can’t defeat the Demon King right now. …So that’s why I need to be modified. …But shouldn’t that role be handled by a ‘Hero’ or someone else with a holy attribute?”
I throw my question at Vanessa-chan.
”Yeah, I used to think that too… But no matter how many Heroes I send, they keep losing. The locals have a growth limit of level 99, so they just don’t have the strength to defeat the Demon King…”
I feel so down that I can’t help but look away.
I gently place my hand on Nessa (Vanessa-chan)’s shoulder to encourage her.
”Always losing… that must have been tough. So that’s why you decided to kidnap a hundred more people.”
”Ugh… I know it sounds terrible, but I did check with them before they were reincarnated, okay? Everyone who was reincarnated agreed; they were brave souls!”
…Now that I think about it, I do remember being asked… I thought it was a dream, so I just mindlessly said yes.
”I see… I understand the situation now. Modification, huh? Is there really no problem with that? If there isn’t, then I can go through with it to protect my loved ones.”
”There’s no bad effect on the soul or the body! But, the modification will take quite a bit of time. …Um, about a year? If you give me that much time, I promise to give you the strongest power among humans!”
A year is a lot longer than I expected… But if I go back right away, I won’t be able to handle the worst-case scenario.
”Sigh… I understand… I want to contact my family before I go through with this. Can I do that?”
”Hmm, I can’t let you talk to them directly, but I can let you send a letter. …Here, paper and a pen.”
Vanessa-chan pulled out paper and a pen from nowhere.
I take it and start writing a letter.

● To everyone
You’re probably surprised that I suddenly disappeared, but I’m okay.
While I was sleeping in Nana’s room, I was forcefully teleported.
Right now, I’m next to a little girl who calls herself the goddess Vanessa.
It seems she’s going to modify my body to give me the power to defeat the Demon King.
The modifications will take a lot of time, about a year, she say.
I will definitely come back, so please wait for me until then.
● To Rumi and Dad
Rumi, please register as an adventurer first and work with Dad.
Don’t push yourself until I return.
I’m worried about leaving Rumi with another party.
So, Dad, please take care of Rumi until I come back.
Thank you.
● To Nana and Mom
Nana, I’m sorry I can’t keep my promise to come back every 7 days.
When I return, I’ll be by your side for a while, so I hope you can forgive me.
Mom, Nana is excellent as a mage.
I want to go on many adventures together someday, so please raise her to be as kind as me… no, a little kinder.
Thank you.
From Rob Cartwood

”Phew… I guess this is it. Nessa, can you send this letter to my house and put it on the table?”
I accidentally called the goddess in a cute way.
”N-Nessa… well, it’s fine. Got it! If there’s nothing else, can I start right away?”
…It seems that calling her that way is not a problem.
”Yeah, the sooner the better, so please do it quickly. It’s a year, right? Will I be completely unable to move during the modifications? Can I at least talk?”
”Ah… I’m sorry, but you can’t do anything because you’re losing consciousness. The next time you can move will be after the modifications are done.”
”I see… Well, at least I’m not feeling bored. So, please take care of it!”
”Thanks for accepting this. I will definitely make you the strongest! …Hehehe! Just wait and see, demon race! This time, I will wipe you out for sure!!”
(…Is she really a goddess?)
And so, I fell into a long sleep.
When I next woke up and returned to Yggrasil,
it coincided with the start of the main story of ‘Princess Rave.’
