Book 10: Chapter 26: Hero Akari
In the forest near the capital of a certain human kingdom —
A young maiden was transmigrated.
Her name was Akari.
The deity of Haruto’s world sent her into this world as a hero.
Her appearance and physique didn’t differ much from her previous self before her transmigration.
“Is this that so-called Isekai?”
The forest was similar to the woods where she played with her older brother in her childhood.
The cheat abilities bestowed to her by the deity were overwhelmingly powerful that all the monsters around this area run away when they sensed her aura.4
Akara possessed the skill called [God’s eye], so she could easily grasp the location of the monsters, but she couldn’t detect a single animal, let alone a monster, within the range that she could search subconsciously.
Because of that, Akari didn’t even feel a single ounce of fear despite being transmigrated into an unknown place.
‘Akari, can you hear me?’
“M-Megami-sama!?*”
The voice of the goddess resounded inside Akari’s head.
‘Yes. I see that you transmigrated just fine. Are you hurt anywhere?’
“Erm…E-everything is okay, it seems.”
‘Glad to hear that. Anyway, there’s a town a little distance away from the forest where you are, and you’ll reach it if you walk for a bit, apparently, so go there first for now! That ‘child’ will be your guide.”
“Eh…Ah! Neko-chan!!”
A kitten approached Akari, stopping at her feet.
It was a familiar black kitten that she saw before.
“Neko-chan, did you die with me too?...Sorry for not being able to save you.”
Akari gathered the kitten in her arms and gently cuddled it.
She died while trying to save this cat from being run over by a car.
Akara thought she didn’t manage to save this kitten, but —
“Noh, noh. Tet didn’t die.”
“Eh”
Akari was shocked when the kitten in her arms suddenly spoke to her.
“Tet is safe thanks to Akari, so Tet came here because Tet wants to save Akari this time around.”
“...Tet-chan, is that your name? Y-You can speak?”
“Yup!”
‘This child’s name is [Bastet]. She’s one of the low ranking deities, and I call her Tet. She lost her powers because of an incident, so she had to live for a time in the Human Realm. She almost died because of her carelessness in that powerless state, and it’s thanks to you that she was saved.’
“Yup, that’s how it is. That’s why Tet will protect Akari here!”
‘This child lost her powers when she was still in my Realm, but transmigrating her into that world restored her powers fully, so she’ll be of use to Akari for sure.’
“I see…I understand! Then, please take care of me, Tet-chan.”
“Yup! Oh, and call Tet as Tet ~”
“Oh, okay. Tet. Got it.”
“Ehehe.”
A deity proclaimed that she would protect her.
Those were truly comforting words, indeed.
However —
“Ah, Akari. There, that feels like heaven. More, more~!”
Akari unwittingly started to rub Tet’s tummy while she hugged her, and the kitty’s reaction was precious.
“Fufufu. Here? How about here?”
“T-There, more!!”
Tet looked really adorable while feeling so great that Akari couldn’t help herself.
She was also happy that Tet voluntarily went out of her way to transmigrate just for her, who had also been transmigrated into this Isekai world.
Tet came here to protect her, but Akari vowed to protect Tet no matter what.
‘Alright, I can only interfere up to this point. Akari, even if you defeat the Demon King, you’ll still have to live there, is that okay?’
“Yes. As long as Tet is here, I can do my best, I think!”
“Tet will also do her best!”
‘I see. Then, both of you take care, alright?’
The goddess ceased speaking.
In that moment, Akari’s Isekai life finally began.
There was something she wanted to accomplish.
It might take her an unimaginable amount of time in order to achieve that.
There was also a chance that she wouldn’t be able to complete her goal.
Regardless, this was Isekai.
Magic existed. It’s a fantasy world.
There was a cat who could speak here.
She also spoke to Megami-sama.
A world where the impossible from her other world could be made possible.
She might even get her wish granted with how this world was.
“Tet…There’s something I want to do after slaying the Demon King. Will you help me with that, too?”
“Of course! Tet came all the way here to help Akari. Tet wants to be with Akari forever~”
“Thank you.”
Akari was hundred percent sure that she would win against the Demon King. She didn’t even have a trace of doubt that it wouldn’t happen.
The skill [Indomitability] bestowed by the goddess gave her the strength and courage to face whatever fear she would encounter, and she wouldn’t be dispirted.
In place of fear, what she would have was hope for the future.
“Wait for me. I will definitely go see you.”
She decided to accept transmigration in order to meet someone who she could never ever meet again in her previous world.
However, the power she received from Megami-sama was far from enough.
She would do anything.
The power that she didn’t have — she would give her all to obtain it.
The power to turn back time.
The power to return to the past.
Or… the power to revive someone who died.
She wanted to obtain whichever of those abilities because she wanted to be reunited with a person.
— With her heart filled with that strong conviction, Akari uttered the name of the person she desperately wanted to see.
