Chapter 4 - 03: Orientation

"So, now it's time for our 'Tell me!! Onee-chan' segment!" (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

When the self-proclaimed Onee-chan is about to explain, Sai immediately interrupted her.

"Wait." (Sai)

"Oya?" (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"Before you talk, introduce yourself. It is proper etiquette to introduce yourself first before interacting or starting a conversation with someone. I refuse to continue this conversation if you want to remain anonymous." (Sai)

The maid standing beside the self-proclaimed Onee-chan, is shivering in anger with Sai's words.

(It seems that she cannot take it anymore. Come, erupt in anger.) (Sai)

"Brazen human, how dare you talk to Her Highness with that tone?!?!" (Blue Maid)

(Her Highness, huh? No wonder she is so whimsical.) (Sai)

(There are many ways to induce a person to let out information. One of them is making them angry. Still, to think that she would fall easily to my taunt. Is she really a maid of a royalty in a higher realm? She is brash, crash, rash, and trash. No elegance, grace, nor humility. She is a disgrace to all maids.) (Sai)

"W-wh-why you…?! To think that you are thinking of impudent remarks towards me?!?!?!" (Blue Maid)

(She really is using her mind reading to me. This maid doesn't know the meaning of the word 'privacy'.) (Sai)

"Now, now. Stop fighting, you two." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

The blue maid turned her head away with a 'Hmph'.

"Now then, let me tell you what happened to your Earth. You might have speculated it, but let me say it. After countless meteors fell down in Earth, the number of lifeforms has drastically gone down to the point that no lifeform currently exists in Earth. Why did it go down suddenly? Indeed, falling meteors alone cannot cause the extinction of all lifeforms in a planet no matter how many they are. Even the meteors that caused the end of the Dinosaurs was not able to that feat. Indeed, that is impossible, if we're talking about ordinary meteorites that's made of dust and stuff." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"The meteorites have something in them, something that can kill organisms that at a fast pace. Poison, huh?" (Sai)

"Correct answer. The meteorites are made up of poisonous chemicals. After the meteorites fell down, the poison quickly contaminated the air. As for what happened after that is quite obvious." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"Those poisonous meteorites are spread out in every continent contaminating the air. All organisms need air, even plants. Now that the air is contaminated, all living organisms will die. Even if they managed to found a method that will save them from the poisonous air that is not enough. According to my subordinates' report, the places that those meteorites land on will eventually fall apart." (Sai)

"On the mark again. I'm really amazed that you can still investigate despite being holed up in your land." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"Trade Secret." (Sai)

"Stingy. Anyways, the conclusion is all living organisms on Earth died. The end." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

Sai picked up the tea cup and the saucer. He sips on the tea with his eyes close. After a few moments, he gently placed down the tea cup and saucer on the table. Opening his eyes and looking towards the Self-proclaimed Onee-chan. There's no change in his expression nor did he become emotionally unstable. Instead, he has the same bored expression on his face. Even while they are talking, it is just like he was listening to a news on television. No agitation, despair, grief, sadness, nor sorrow. There's only indifference and callousness.

"Earth's destruction is not my concern. All I want to know is my current situation." (Sai)

"Hai~~. What's next is reincarnation. After Earth's destruction, obviously there are many souls that died and needed to be reincarnated. Although, the population of is higher than usual the Manager can easily reincarnate all of you with ease. However, the gods saw this as an opportunity. The gods are currently facing a dilemma. They currently have not enough personnel. Thus, the gods saw this as an opportunity to get the personnel they need. They get to solve their dilemma and there is a high chance to get high-quality personnel. Thus, after getting the Manager's consent, they will proceed to the 'examinations' to see the ones with high potential. As for me, I don't really care about personnel and stuff. I'm just joining the fray for amus.e.m.e.nt." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"The Manager will randomly select 100,000 souls and provide 10,000 to 1 god. That makes 10 gods that will have the chance to receive those souls, Of course, I'm also included in that 10. As for the rest of Earthlings, they will be reincarnated to worlds that has low population with their memories of their past life erased. Each god will begin their own 'examination'." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"Each 'examination' will be different from each other, since the gods holding it will decide how one will pass. As for mine, you only need to look forward to it. As for the consequence of failing, there's no need to worry about it. If you fail, you will be sent to the Manager and you will be 'processed' like other Earthlings." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"My 'examination' will be conducted in a certain planet. In that planet, there will be monsters and treasures in there so do your best to kill monsters and search for treasures. Before the 'examination' begin, the examinees will be provided a system terminal." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"A system terminal is like the ones you read in isekai novels. The one that the protagonist look to check their stats and cheats. What? You don't read isekai novels? Although, that genre is quite popular. Back to the topic, the system shows your stats and the like. Just say 'system open' to activate it, mentally or verbally works. It's troublesome to explain so look at it yourself when you receive it. Along with the system terminal, you will also receive a starter pack. Once again, analyze it yourself once you get it." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"For the main course, your Onee-chan will give you something~~! Blessing, equipment, skill, item, or stat boost, which do you prefer?" (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

The moment Sai heard that this Self-proclaimed Onee-chan will give him something, his jerked up. Not because he was happy, instead his alertness and caution are at its peak.

(This is the goddess in front of me you are talking about. From her personality alone, if I choose the wrong choice, no, all of the choices are surely something that will screw me up, for sure.) (Sai)

"I want my ancestral blade and a skill." (Sai)

"Ancestral blade? The one you had before? What a boring choice. Oh well, I will also get it restored for you since Onee-chan dotes on you. As for the skill...…. ah!" (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

If this were a cartoon, you will see a light bulb flash above this Self-proclaimed Onee-chan's head.

"Hehehehehehehe. Onee-chan got the 'perfect' skill for you. As for what is it, look forward to it." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

Seeing that 'innocent and pure' smile, Sai only get a bad feeling.

(Damn, I really called it) (Sai)

"Kohon, now let's proceed to the rules of my examination." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"First, survive in one year.

Second, there's no rules aside the first one." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"......….." (Sai)

"Before you go, Onee-chan has finished retrieving your ancestral blade." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

After she finished speaking, a worn-down katana appeared on her hand. Green light enveloped the katana. After a few moments, the light dispersed and revealed an elegant black katana. She handed the katana to Sai.

"Thank you." (Sai)

"You're welcome." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

(Thankfully, this goddess of a princess didn't go eccentric mode most of the time, or else I might not be able to handle it.) (Sai)

"By the way, you haven't introduced yourself to me." (Sai)

"Mou, I thought you forgotten about it already." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"I didn't. Oh, well. That doesn't matter now. I've lost interest in it." (Sai)

"Meanie! And I was about to tell you now." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"No need. There's no guarantee that you will tell me your true identity. At best, you will introduce yourself with a name of another person which will cause me some problems one way or another." (Sai)

"Meanie, jerk, idiot, villain, ruthless, cold-blooded, inhuman, unknown gender." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

"I don't care. Hurry up and send me to the examination grounds." (Sai)

"Tyrant, oppressor, dictator, authoritarian, bossy, high-handed, egoistical, narcissistic, snobbish." (Self-proclaimed Onee-chan)

(Everyone, behold the sight of a royalty of the realm of gods, holding a handkerchief on both hands and biting the edge of it. Instead of chanting a spell she uses words of slander while crying to activate a magic circle. Did the goddesses degrade overtime in terms of IQ?) (Sai)

A magical circle appears below Sai. After the magical circle is complete, Sai blacked out once again.

(Now, will this journey help me to go 'there'. I'm looking forward to it.) (Sai)
