Looking up to the Goddess from the white floor, I told her everything about my circumstances. Honestly, I didn't want to tell some stranger about me but the cat was already out of the bag, and the Goddess... she just looked so divine, that I didn't want to refuse her too. Once I started, I blabbered like a fool, telling her even more than needed.
"----and aside from my hobbies like gaming and programming, I also liked reading novels and mangas. Those were way more interesting in my past world than in this world, sources of entertainment are a bit lacking in this world if I say so myself."
As I blabbered, Goddess Helastia looked at me with a motherly gaze. Even from down below, I could smell her pleasant odour.
'fuck it, she never asked about my hobbies! That's embarrassing!'
"Hmm~ Oh, really? You think sources of entertainment are lacking in this world... Hmm~ Well, I can't deny that myself too... ahaha~"
'Ah! I made her giggle!'
"Now then~ I understand your whole circumstances. Hmm~ so, this time there is a "Reincarnated Imposter" too, huh. Well, they have appeared in the past too, so nothing new there... you're just.... boring."
*Gasp*
As soon as she said the word "Imposter", my body temperature rose in anxiety, and my breathing became heavy in fear. I don't know why it happened.
'Why am I panting?'
'Why is heart beating out of control?'
'Was it the word "Imposter" that caused it?'
I looked at the goddess. I don't understand why but, the goddess who seemed so lovely, so pretty, and angelic a moment ago, now terrified me to the core.
"What do you mean Reincarnated Imposter? I am not posing to be someone else--", shaking, I asked the goddess.
"Imposter, huh~...", she contorted her face in disgust. Her attitude, her expressions, her whole visage turned entirely different from her previous cheerful persona. As if... As if her previous airhead-yet-elegant goddess attitude was just a facade. She gestured for someone to come forward.
I hear footsteps coming towards here.
I could guess whom she called, it was Akane-san.
Akane-san came to the front, she stood beside me and looked at the floor with a pale expression.
"Humanity's Traitors.... they are the servants of the Devils that somehow manage to trick the system and obtain the powers of the heroes and use it for their 'Master's', The Devil lord's benefits. Sometimes, they come along with the Heroes, posing to be Heroes too, just because they have the same kind powers that heroes posses. The power they have isn't even their own, they scavenge the heroes' leftover powers when All-father transfers it to the heroes. But here is a funny thing, even though they scavenged someone else's powers, they would still remain extremely weak as their growth rate is extremely poor, fufufu~ *sigh* This time they have sent a Reincarnated Imposter too, posing to be your dead classmate! Ugh! They are absolute sinners, they are filthy scavengers and their goal is the annihilation of humankind. They mustn't be let free. They are Trash. They should just perish...", saying that the goddess gave a 'smile', a smile that gave me chills in the spine.
"Goddess Helastia! Listen to me I have no connection to the Devils nor I am some scavenger or imposter or humanity's traitor... That beam of light!... I didn't do anything it just fell on me from above on its own!! You can ask anyone who knows me--"
"Well~~ Well~~ that's what all the sinners and traitors say when their beans are spilt."
"Oh, Shit!! That explains why that dude has Haruto-Kun's face!"
"Oh mah Gawd! Does that mean he impersonated the dead Haruto? Fucking dumb devil..lol he should at least impersonate someone who was alive... Khe heh ehehaa~"
"That's actually a bit terrifying don't you think so too, Taka-kun?"
"khe heh... Nah, Kirin, the goddess said that he's weak as shit and besides, I have the power to kill him in one shot and also I'm an A-Rank hero there's no way a dumb devil's servant could ever hope to defeat "Me"."
"Yeah, that's for sure, b-baby."
"Kuh..:'
They... they already believe her...?
'That's all bullshit!'
Shit! Why wouldn't they, what she said sounds all too real.
My eyes widen up in realization. There is no question but a sure realization.
'But.....why? just why?'
My heart starts racing in anxiety, and cold sweat slides down my cheek. Nothing I say will make them believe me... No matter how much I plead the Goddess won't let me live...
I can't think of any possible way to get out of this situation. I can't escape. I know no way out.
Where would I run?
I didn't notice it earlier but there is no door here! Why would they even need one when they could just those damned portals.
I can't kill them too.
'She is powerful, she could kill me in a snap... no! she can't kill a being existing in this world...No!... but... then-then, t-they could kill me, those 'beautiful' Apostles.'
But to survive, I need to kill them...
'How will I kill them? With a drawing compass? With a paper knife?'
'Or with my skill that was granted..., no, that I scavenged from the leftovers of the other heroes? The skill is absolutely shitty! This skill's range is 60 cm, that Goddess is standing well above 2 meters. And even if I somehow manage to get close to her and shoot her with this skill, neither will she die immediately nor will I be able to survive those "Protectors" of hers. I only have three shots, it won't be near enough to kill these bastards, and also, I don't know if my skill works against a Goddess or not, what if I shoot her with my skill and she just brushes it off, I'll die. Works against a Goddess? I don't even fucking know if it even works at all or not!'
'I see no way to survive!'
'If only the rate of my skill was high enough so that they wouldn't get a chance to react.'
'If only I had range enough to get them from here.'
'If only I had enough shots to kill all of them.'
'These mother fuckers! if only they weren't alive.'
'If only I had any other way to kill them!'
With this skill, I can't even kill a rat, right now. How will I kill them...!?...
'KILL...?'
How can I think of... killing someone so... easily...?
No! this is for survival.
Morals? What morals?
I need to survive from these people.
This goddess and her men, for some bullshit reason, wants me dead, I need to survive them.......But HOW!!!
