***

Explaining the goddess, the dimension, and my death was quite difficult.

Well, it must be difficult to accept that the world you have known all your life has suddenly expanded overnight.

At first, Seong-ah looked at me with an expression that made me wonder if I was saying something crazy, but when she saw the weight on the scale rising and leveling out, she looked at me again with wide eyes.

And then a storm of questions followed. It seemed like they were quite interested in the path I had taken.

“So, those women you mentioned last time were all from a different world?”

“My ex-girlfriend is in the dimension I originally lived in, and everyone else is in a different dimension.”

“Hmm~ I see.”

Seong-ah grins, letting out a strange nasal sound.

I wonder if it was a dream that I had a gloomy face until a moment ago when I smiled brightly.

“Why are you smiling?”

I feel like I somehow know the meaning of that smile, but I ask just to confirm.

“Transporting to a dimension means dying in that dimension.”

Seong-ah speaks like an academy instructor summarizing key points.

“That’s right.”

“Except for one case, I have never returned to the same dimension. You said the time zone was off even once?”

“That’s right.”

“That means you will never see the women you met while traveling through dimensions again.”

“For now, right?”

“So. Hehe.”

He smiles again and buries his face in my chest.

“Why do you like other people’s misfortune so much?”

He… has a bit of personality…

“It’s a pity that the uncle died… but if you think about it positively, when you die, you move on. Thanks to you, I met you… I’m lucky.”

“My misfortune is your luck?”

“No, if I take it that way, it would make me look really bad.”

He lightly hits my chest with his palm. My heart tingled with the sound.

“But man. What does it mean to die? How does it feel?”

Death. I’ve been through a lot, but I still don’t know.

“Sometimes it happens in the blink of an eye…”

“Have you ever been sick?”

I think about particularly difficult deaths.

“The most painful thing was being tied to a chair, unable to drink water, and slowly dying.”

I recall memories of that time that I never want to experience again.

There is a feeling of pity in Seong-ah’s eyes when she looks at me.

“But I don’t know much about the afterlife. It’s like waking up in another dimension, in another person’s body. It feels like waking up a little.”

To change the mood, try speaking in a cheerful tone.

“Then it must be continuous. Because there is no mid-term?”

She points out the important part.

“That’s right. Thanks to this, my memories are often mixed up.”

These days, I often find myself thinking that my memories are mixed up.

“Eek, then it’s not a big deal? Losing one’s self is a really big deal.”

“No, it’s not like you forgot my existence or anything like that. Because you gain experience in a completely different place with a completely different body, it becomes difficult to adapt. Seasons, time, things like that.”

“Aha.”

Seongah nodded at my explanation. This allowed her chin to press against her chest a few times.

“Something is very interesting. It is also true that this world is not one, but many. Also, there really is a being called God.”

she talks to herself

“Mr. Which dimension did you like best?”

He asks me with a devil-like face.

“Huh?”

“Of all the dimensions you’ve been to, which dimension was the best to stay in?”

“Hmm… It’s hard to pinpoint something.”

“Eight, then let’s change the question. What level are you in now?”

“Hmm….”

“Mr. Why don’t you tell me I’m number 1?”

She puffs out her cheeks and protests to me.

“1st place is the dimension I originally lived in?”

“Except for the dimension I originally lived in.”

This kid is persistent.

“If I had to choose, I liked the modern setting. If it’s not Hyundai, there are a lot of things that I secretly regret.”

“How many dimensions were modern?”

Let’s see….

The first dimension I moved to, the next dimension I moved to, the dimension where Lee Mi-na was, the dimension where the building owner was, the dimension where she was a bully…

One, two, three… I think there are five.

“Five, excluding this one?”

“There should be a lot. So what rank is this?”

“Why am I curious about that?”

“It’s important. I want to be number one for you.”

“…If I had to choose, 2nd place.”

When I tell him the result of adding worry to worry, he looks visibly disappointed.

“Where is first place?”

“Building owner level.”

How great it is to have plenty of money to spend even if you don’t go to work.

“Oh, that can’t be helped.”

She also obediently agrees.

The light of the scale floating above my chest was slowly going out.

It looks like the magic is running out of effect.

“Anyway, I’d like to meet the god of this dimension.”

She muttered while playing with her palm on and off my chest.

“Well, is there something you want to ask?”

Hi, isn’t it strange that I don’t have anything to ask?

“There are a lot. This magical girl system… and the afterlife… I have a lot of questions to ask.”

“You seem curious about the afterlife. Isn’t it too early to think about death?”

Now that I am twenty.

“I wonder if mom and dad are okay.”

“Ah….”

“The mere fact that you are here is proof that there is such a thing as a soul. So, my dad and mom can also watch me from somewhere.”

When I saw her smiling face with her gums showing, I felt sorry for her.

“A lot of time has passed so I will be able to check it when I go to the afterlife.”

Don’t say you’re going now.

“I guess so. I think I can live here very, very happily. With you.”

“Why are you dragging me in.”

“That’s right, I’m going to stay with you.”

“Do I have no intention?”

“I’m sorry, but…no, I don’t have one. It’s just like this.”

She giggles.

The scale’s light gradually fades.

“The magic is coming to an end.”

“Sure.”

“Oh, wait a minute, let me ask you something too. We should be asking each other questions, but you were the only one asking questions.”

Suddenly, something came to mind.

“Yes, of course.”

Perhaps aware that she was asking a one-sided question, she obediently allowed it.

“I told you the secret I hid, so you also tell me the secret you hid from me.”

“Uh…? Well, that’s a bit much. Uncle, another question…”

Seong-ah suddenly becomes embarrassed and starts talking gibberish.

As expected, there was something to hide.

“Come on, the question is about equivalent exchange.”

“Ugh… okay.”

Yes, if it’s something like academic stress or worries about the future, I can provide counseling as an adult.

So, speak frankly.

“When he was asleep, I pretended it was a dream and slept with him.”

…What the fuck?

“With the face of an old man, an acquaintance…”

Seong-ah’s voice gradually creeps in.

As I slowly stand up, Seong-Ah, who was attached to my chest, naturally falls back.

“…Sung-ah.”

“…Yes.”

“First, let’s kneel down and raise our hands.”

It is the adult’s role to guide the child. cancer.
