Chapter 1 An invincible castle flying in the sky is a man's dream

「I want a castle.」

「Hmm?」

To my words, the girl before my eyes tilted her beautiful face diagonally.

She's a blonde hair girl cladded in white dress. Her limbs are long and her fingers are slender and pretty. It is a mysterious beauty worthy to be compared to fairies.

And, the eyes of the girl who is like a fairy were golden.

The girl is in confusion, however she looks hard at my face intriguingly.

「Interesting, it is the first time that a human said he wanted a castle. Although, there was also some miserable wish, for example when someone requested to drink a warm soup…….」

She said so, and I laugh boldly.

「Of course, it is not an ordinary castle. Heavenly Castle…… Right! It is a Heavenly Castle that flies freely through the sky! Furthermore, when you say Heavenly Castle, in the movie I saw….」

「Ah, yes, I understand. It must mean, there are defense facilities, there are strange operation rooms, there are also golem-like guard….」

「That's it, that's it. Ah, but the destruction magic word is not necessary. I won't be able to laugh if the castle were to collapse by mistake in my sleep-talk state.」

When I say so while laughing, the girl pondered through my words while nodding several times.

「Uh-huh uh-huh… then, should I also do an extra service like supplying your necessary things for your daily life? Are you okay with that? I am sorry, but you have only one wish okay, that's why…」

Asking in order to make a confirmation, I consents deeply. Looking at me without hesitation, the girl opened her mouth with a bitter smile.

「You are an interesting person, aren't you. Normally, people I encountered wished for an eternal life or money enough to lasts for a lifetime, there are many things in that direction, you know.亅

「Eh? Is there someone else who went through something like this before?」

When I reflexively asks that to the few words of the girl, the girl looked away and gave a dry laugh.

「Ha, haha…. no, well, that…… Maybe about one person in several hundred years, would experience something like this too by mistake…」

「Oh, such is life, isn't it?」

When I answer so, the girl hangs her head in shame with teary eyes.

「But, since there are more than ten worlds under my management, it's about one person in a few decades if you were to look at it overall… thanks to that I got used in concealing my mistakes like this when it happens, you know…… haha, in order not to become a fallen angel…」

While muttering such disturbing things, the girl looked towards the sky, entwined her fingers in front of her chest.

I also found out earlier that this girl seemed to be a 'Middle Rank Angel'.

Oyaoya, although no matter how much I think, there is a clear memory that I seem to have died.

In addition, this is a s.p.a.ce where there is nothing but pure white. Both sound and wind is nonexistent. I can hear only the moving sounds and voice of myself and the girl.

No matter how hard I think, this can't be a reality, so I think this is really heaven, something similar, or at least a lucid dream.

When I try listening to the story of the girl calmly, she said that somehow she made a mistake and let me die.

I was mad at first, but then she said that I can't be revived even if I got angry. Furthermore, if I just go to the world of afterlife as it is, the girl's mistake will be discovered.

Therefore, it appears that she's sending off my soul to a different world and want me to live to my liking there.

No no, won't the Balance of Records becomes incorrect in the side of another world if I go there?

When I asks that, I was told that she will also adjust the Balance of Records over there with a very complicated expression.

Surely, a lie will just invokes another lie. It's only my prediction, but this girl would probably go to h.e.l.l if her lies are exposed to G.o.d in the near future.

Looking at the girl's troubled face while I'm thinking such things, she turned her face towards me.

「…… It can't be helped even if I'm worrying, huh. Well then, I will prepare the best castle I can think of, so I hope you enjoy your new world. Ah, also when you fulfilled your natural life span over there, it will be confidential to G.o.d…. I think there is no chance for you to meet him, but just to be sure do you understand this condition?」

「I understand, I really do」

「…… you are too carefree」

The girl who muttered so with an anxious expression, raised her arm and pointed it at me.

The feeling of the ground under my feet disappeared, my body is floating lightly and it feels uncomfortable.

Uwa, I'm not really good with such thing as an airplane, though……

Such contradictory thoughts came inside my mind.

Immediately afterwards, my body rises to the surface with 'hyuuh' as if being pulled up by a string.

「Well then, s.h.i.+hara Daiki-san, live well and……」

The voice of the careless Angel is getting far away, looking down, the girl is smaller than a bean grain inside of the pure white s.p.a.ce.

By the time I noticed it, the feeling of gravity which I felt until now fades away, replaced by a sense of floating underwater.

This is a terrible dream if it is actually a dream.

But, if I really go to a different world, I'm pretty excited.

I would also like to see if there is such thing as dragon.

I closed my eyes while holding that thoughts in my head.
