I reincarnated on a planet called Maldea.
A planet with a different civilization and a different culture. A planet with the concept of magic.
It's a place that could be called an another world.
My new name is Lina Marderita.
Yes. I got a different gender from my previous life, I reborn as a girl.
Peach-colored (Pink) hair and a slender body. Round eyes and a round face.
"Lina is soo cute. Like a princess."
I spent my childhood being told such things by my mother and other adults around me.
Wear a skirt, lengthen my hair and make myself beautiful.
I felt perplexed and embarrassed about it, but I decided to accept it as my new self.
My new father and mother are very kind, I am blessed with good people and environment.
The most surprising thing about being born on this planet is that there is magic.
The level of the Maldea civilization, supported by magic, is amazing.
Instead of trains, there are warp stations.
You can warp to any station in the country in seconds.
In addition, the bag is enchanted, it can reduce the size of any large object and carry it easily.
Other useful magical items were abundant, even all kinds of daily necessities.
This world is amazing. I am very impressed.
However, there is a lack of interest in some aspects.
Apparently, there are no video games on this planet.
Is Maldea not interested in video games? I don't have something resemble video games in my house.
It's just… The only answer is… I'm on a different planet!
I had various regrets in my previous life, but I knew I had to give up.
I became accustomed to my new life on this planet and lived happily with the love of my new family.
However, when I entered elementary school, I learned a shocking fact.
"Barbaric Star, Earth ...?"
Yes. Maldaea's textbook mentioned Earth.
"Earth is a planet in a distant galaxy with a very barbaric civilization. The people of Earth, are unaware of the planet Maldea. And today, they're still fighting over the same trivial issues."
There was such a description.
Apparently, Maldea is looking down at Earth planet.
Well, it may be unavoidable.
Maldea has an amazing civilization.
There has been no war for more than two thousand years.
Natural disasters are suppressed by the power of magic, and there are no victims of typhoons or earthquakes.
From the point of view of such a planet, the earth may look like a primitive planet.
In fact, the teacher said, 'Earthlings are barbaric, so we Maldeans choose not to get involved with Earth'.
The only thing that matters to me is that the earth is still existed in my current lifetime.
Maybe I could go to Earth.
That's what I thought.
At this momment, it must have been a long time since I died.
I wonder how earth has changed.
I wonder how advanced video game has become.
Also, are my mother and father still alive?
That thought crossed my mind.
But apparently, Earth still doesn't know about the existence of Maldea planet.
Then I wonder if I should just go there by myself.
"A way to Earth? You ask the strangest things, Miss Marderita."
When I asked the teacher about it, she gave me an amused look.
"How do you think I can get there, Teacher?"
"I wonder. Earth is so far away, you'll probably have to use interstellar warp to get there. Only the Ministry of Magic or the Institute of Magic in the capital can handle interstellar warp. If you become a great wizard, you might be able to go there."
I'm sure the teacher took my question as a joke.
Me too, I also asked the question with a light feeling.
But from that day on, I began to study diligently.
Maybe I was blessed with talent.
Also, at the same time, the only interesting thing that I found in this world is magic.
I became the top student at the elementary school, and my magic skills grew rapidly.
Then, I skipped the grades and was accepted into a prestigious magic academy.
I was such a game geek, but now I have stepped into the path of elite.
And now.
At the young age of fifteen, I was accepted into the Ministry of Magic and began working as a wizard.
Maybe not as a rookie, once I become someone with high position, they might let me use the interstellar warp.
I started working with such hope.
One day. A particular piece of news rushed through the offices of the Ministry of Magic.
"Report. There is a signal from Earth to the planet Maldea. We have a signal from Earth."
"Earth?"
I was surprised. A meeting was to be held immediately.
Signals from Earth were immediately analyzed and translated into Maldean.
Until now, Earth has sent many stupid signals into outer space.
But this time it's different.
This time it is a clear message that the US wants to negotiate with our planet.
This means that the people of Earth have realized the existence of the planet Maldea.
What a historical moment, I felt my body shiver.
However, the wizards gathered in the conference room didn't seem happy.
"Earth, the barbaric, dare to negotiate with our planet on equal terms?"
"It's the mindset of a very poor and ignorant people. I don't want they bring in some strange virus. I refuse to negotiate with such people. Ignore them."
The higher-ups completely disregarded the Earth as negotiate partner.
In fact. They were annoyed and treating Earth people as a germ.
Yeah. Well, I figured that would happen.
The conclusion of the Maldeans was: "We should not interact with the Earth. Let's ignore it."
Concluded.
As a former Japanese, I would like to interact with Earth planet.
But I didn't have the power to go against the policy of my country.
When I returned to the office, one of the Bureau employees was still reporting to the Director.
"Communication still coming from the earth again. In the hope that we can reply to them, it's writen in English, the common language of the earth."
"Hmph, they just barbaric people who don't understand our language. Just ignore them. Earth's civilization is insignificant. Such insignificant things!"
Apparently, the Ministry of Magic was ready to completely ignoring comunication from the Earth.
The next day, at the morning meeting, the earth was still a topic of discussion.
"It seems that Earth has been trying to communicate with us since yesterday. They say that they have scientific power over there. They keep telling us not to ignore it. We need to discuss how to deal with it."
When the chairman gave the subject, the higher-ups laughed and said.
"Hahaha, that's out of the question. If those barbarians set foot on our side, the security of Maldea will be degraded."
"Yeah. I read the report, it says that there are still hideous conflicts between nations. And they can't even protect their people from disasters. It's ridiculous."
"If they can't even manage their own planet properly, how can they interact with outside planet properly?"
"Hmm. If they don't have the technology to come to our planet, we probably shouldn't be dealing with them."
The higher-ups at headquarters seemed to agree very well.
However, in this morning's meeting, everyone has the right to speak.
If I don't say it now, I won't get another chance.
With that determination, I raised my hand.
"Um, can I have a word?"
"….Who are you?"
The chairman looked at me. Normally, I, as a member of the Bureau, shouldn't raise my hand in such a situation.
It's a place where I just have to shut up and listen to what the boss has to say.
"Oh, she' s Lina Marderita. She's the new wizard who came under my command. So, Miss Lina. What is it?"
The director introduced me, I stood up and continued
"Yes, sir. Please excuse me for taking up your valuable time. In my opinion, earth is not that terrible. I mean, there are some pretty interesting things."
The higher-ups raise their eyebrows with disapproval looks at my words. No matter how you look at it, they are not in welcoming mode.
"I see, you are investigating Earth planet. So you know what they are doing. They keep fighting each other foolishly, and the pollution of the air and sea is unbearable to watch. They are destroying the environment of the planet they live on, while indulging in a brief moment of pleasure. Don't you think it's irreparable?"
"Yes, … But we're all living in the same universe. As for the bad parts, we can encourage them to improve as we interact."
"Well. You want us to overturn our opinion and interact with Earth?"
The chairman seemed to be in a bit of a bad mood, and I couldn't stop breaking out in cold sweat.
But then the director intervened.
"That's good. It means the young ones are motivated. Lina, you have a very interesting perspective. But then again, Earth is barbaric. It is not hygienic to allow earthlings to step on this land of Maldea. You understand that, don't you, Lina?
"Yes. …"
I couldn't help but nod. Looking into the director's eyes, which seemed admonishing me.
Then the director continued to speak, looking around as if he were controlling the place.
"Therefore, you are not allowed to bring any Earthlings with you. Instead, I think we can allow you to interact with them as long as you do it privately. For example, you could negotiate with Earth on your own and go to Earth on your own. Maybe you could take a picture of this planet and send it to Earth. I don't mind that much. How about that?"
The director looked around as he said that, and the others nodded.
"Hmm, that's fine then."
"As long as she does it on her own, I don't see a problem. There's one interstellar warp we don't use. It won't be a problem if she use it."
Surprisingly, they seemed to agree with him which surprised me.
"Huh, is that okay!?"
"Hmm. That's settled. You will be in charge of all interactions with Earth. I hereby appoint you as Earth's goodwill ambassador."
"I'll give you permission to use interstellar warp. But no budget, no personnel, nothing else. There is no such thing as spending the national budget on the Earth. You'll have to do it all by yourself. Is that all right with you?"
"...! Oh, thank you very much!"
Thus, I managed to get permission to go to Earth.
I left the Ministry of Magic's headquarters. At the same time I left the Ministry of Magic's. I' ve completely lost the way to becoming an elite.
