Kazuma Sato, a second-year high school student, accidentally introduces himself as a hero from another world on his first day at a new school. That night, the naked goddess Aqua falls through his ceiling. She was supposed to take Kazuma to a fantasy world, but due to a paperwork error, both have been reborn as modern Japanese high school students. The next day, Megumin, a chuunibyou girl, and Darkness, a masochistic lady, also turn out to be reincarnated from that same world.
The four are force
Blessings on This Wonderful School Life! - On my first day as a transfer student, a goddess fell from the sky.
"I'm telling you, this is all your fault!"
When I woke up, there was a massive hole in the ceiling of my room.
……No, wait. Calm down. I'm pretty sure that yesterday, I'd just moved to Hinagi City in Saitama Prefecture—a perfectly ordinary second-year high school student named Satou Kazuma. I'd finished my first day as a transfer student and should have been lying in bed, feeling depressed.
So why is some strange woman I've never seen before sitting on top of my stomach?
"You're finally awake! I got tired of waiting, Kazuma!"
Waist-length, translucent, pale-blue hair. Bright blue eyes like jewels. Her hair tips bounced softly, and her white skin was almost blindingly radiant.
……And why is she completely naked?
"Uwaaaah! W-Why are you naked?! Put some clothes on! No, before that, get off me! Actually, who the hell are you?!"
I scrambled away to the wall, clutching the blanket. My heart felt like it was about to leap out of my mouth.
"Ahaha, you don't have to be so shy. I am the goddess Aqua. A beautiful, noble goddess who governs water. Kazuma, I came here because I want to reincarnate you into another world."
Goddess? Another world? Reincarnation?
Am I still half-asleep? Right, this must be a dream. Yesterday's disastrous self-introduction must be lingering in my mind, making me have weird dreams.
"It's not a dream. Look, you can tell if you check that mirror over there. This room has a hole in the ceiling, right? That's because I made a flashy entrance."
I didn't want to look, but I looked anyway. A clean hole, about a meter in diameter, in the ceiling. The moon visible through it in the night sky was strangely bright.
"……Guess it's not a dream after all."
I let out a deep sigh.
I thought back to yesterday.
Hinagi City, in the southern part of Saitama Prefecture. About fifty minutes from the city center by train—a perfectly ordinary commuter town. Nothing special about it, but a comfortable place to live. I'd actually wanted to go to a school in a more urban area, but due to my parents' job transfer, I ended up staying in this town alone.
And so, having started living on my own, I transferred into Class 2-3 at Hinagi Daiichi High School. A mid-tier school with a deviation score of 52. The building was old, but the schoolyard was absurdly wide. Well, a normal school.
The problem was that first day as a transfer student.
I was so nervous that, in front of the entire class, I said something absolutely ridiculous.
"Satou Kazuma. Um, well…… I'm a hero from another world."
Even now, I have no idea why I blurted that out. Maybe it was because the memory from middle school—when I'd confessed to someone on a stupid dare and been laughed at by the whole class—kept spinning around in my head.
The classroom's atmosphere froze in an instant.
No, freezing would've been better. The very next moment, it was already…… a whirlpool of laughter.
"Eh, a hero? What's that! Chuunibyou?"
"So gross."
"This transfer student's hilarious."
The girls giggled, and the boys clutched their stomachs laughing. The teacher gave a wry smile and said, "Satou-kun, please take your seat."
Ah, there it is again.
Once again, I'd become a laughingstock.
During lunch break, I fled to the rooftop alone. Of course, the rooftop was locked, so I sat on the stairs just before it, eating a convenience store rice ball by myself.
(……Anyway, if I just don't expect anything from the start, it'll be fine.)
Thinking that, I swallowed the rice ball that had lost all its flavor.
Even after I got home, I stayed depressed. If the first day as a transfer student went like that, tomorrow would be hell. No, it's fine. No one's going to pay attention to me anyway. If that's how it is, then so be it……
And while I was going around in circles thinking about all that, a woman fell through the ceiling.
……Well, that's the gist of it.
"I mean, I really wish you hadn't kicked me while I was already down."
"Eh, you were feeling down about something? That must've been rough. But it's fine! Because I'm here now! Let's just forget all of it and have fun in another world, okay?"
She said it with a sparkling smile. Innocent—or rather, completely oblivious to the mood.
"……So, where exactly is this 'another world' of yours? And why me?"
"You see, you were supposed to become a hero in a world of swords and magic called Verdina, fighting against the Demon Lord. I was in charge of your case, but I kind of mixed up the order of things. So, before you could go to Verdina, I ended up coming here instead."
"……Huh?"
"So, I'm going to reincarnate you into Verdina right now, one more time. So don't worry, okay? Leave it to me. I am a goddess, after all."
How should I put it—there were so many things to retort to that my brain couldn't keep up.
"There's nothing but things to worry about! How am I supposed to trust someone who messed up the paperwork?!"
"How cruel! I can do it properly if I try! I normally handle around two hundred cases, and it was just a fluke that I messed up on yours……"
Her eyes welled up with tears. Why am I the one being made out to be the bad guy here?
"……Fine. Anyway, if you're going to do this 'reincarnation' thing, just hurry up and do it. I have school tomorrow."
"Okaaay! Then, excuse me for a moment…… Huh? It's not glowing. Um, hup. Hup-hup. ……Huh?"
When she held out her hand, light really did start to gather. But it immediately vanished. She repeated it several times, but the result was the same.
"Why? My power feels…… strange. It's like it's being absorbed into this world……"
The next moment.
Her body was enveloped in a pale light.
"Eh, what is this, wait, hold on? Kyaaaaah!"
The light intensified, dyeing the entire room pure white. I instinctively covered my eyes.
How much time passed?
When I came to, an unfamiliar girl in a school uniform was standing in front of me.
Pale-blue hair reaching her waist, blue eyes swaying anxiously. About 162 centimeters tall. The navy blazer and gray skirt of Hinagi Daiichi High School suited her perfectly.
No matter how you looked at her, she was the goddess Aqua from earlier. Except now, she was wearing clothes.
"W-What is this…… Why am I a high school student?! And what's with these clothes?!"
She patted her own body all over, looking utterly stunned.
"Could it be…… you got reverse-reincarnated instead?"
"How cruel! I still haven't returned to the other world! My job is to reincarnate people in Verdina, so why does it seem like I'm the one who has to live here now?!"
With a face on the verge of tears, she appealed to me.
……Why is it? This should obviously be a nuisance, but seeing that expression gives me a feeling I can't quite describe.
"Well, for now…… sit down. Let's sort out the situation."
I sat facing her across the living room table. The clock had passed ten at night.
For the next hour or so, I listened to her story.
To summarize, it went like this.
What Aqua had been using was something called the Reincarnation Management System of the Verdina Temple Agency. A system for reincarnating the dead into another world, apparently processing around two hundred cases a year. However, this time she'd handled the procedure in reverse, and Aqua herself had been reverse-reincarnated as a modern Japanese high school student—Amano Aqua.
"But why did you fall into my house?"
"Well, obviously, because you were the reincarnation target, so my soul's coordinates were linked to yours…… Ah, but now I'm officially a Japanese high school student! So I have a proper family registry, I can open a bank account, and actually, can I live here?"
"'Actually,' she says……"
The leap in logic was too much.
"I mean, I ended up coming here, so it can't be helped, right? Let me stay here until I figure out how to get back to Verdina! I'll pay rent eventually, okay?"
"'Eventually'……"
This goddess didn't feel the slightest bit guilty. If anything, she was completely set on living here.
"Besides, you know, you're that, right? Eating alone, sleeping alone, lonely, right? So wouldn't it be the best if a beautiful girl like me was with you?"
She tilted her head slightly and looked up at me with upturned eyes.
Thump.
My heart skipped a beat. No, that was just a surprise attack. I don't have time to be flustered by some weird woman calling herself a goddess.
"……Don't just move in on your own."
"Yay! Thank you, Kazuma! You're the best servant…… no, roommate ever!"
Did she just say "servant"?
And so, my strange cohabitation with Aqua began.
But it wasn't over yet.
"Oh right, I'll take this outfit off right away, so wait a sec. Wait, huh? This is a uniform? Actually, it might be cute. I surprisingly look good in it? Hey, look, Kazuma. What do you think?"
She spun around on the spot. The hem of her skirt fluttered outward.
"It's not about whether it suits you or not—wearing clothes is a good thing. That's fine."
Honestly, I didn't have the mental capacity for anything else.
"Come to think of it, I'm a Japanese high school student now. Which means there's something good available. I heard Japan has the water of the gods…… Ah, Kazuma, I'm going to borrow this."
She picked up my smartphone without permission.
"Wait a second, don't just take someone's phone…… Eh, online shopping? What are you ordering?! Twenty one-liter bottles of premium sake?!"
The screen displayed a price I'd never seen before.
"Since I'm a minor, I bought it under your name. Thanks! Now I can fully enjoy the water of the gods."
"You're totally planning to drink it! And why under my name?! Return it! Cancel it right now!"
I frantically snatched the phone back, but it was already too late. Order shipped. Total: 150,000 yen.
On top of that, the ceiling repair cost: 300,000 yen.
Altogether, 450,000 yen.
My hellish life of debt began that very night.
"I'm calling a lawyer, you hear me?!"
"W-Why are you so angry…… I thought it was only natural to devote yourself to a goddess……"
"Don't just 'think' it! And how can you even call yourself a goddess like this?!"
I didn't know what was what anymore.
In the end, I decided to let Aqua stay the night. Where she'd stay from tomorrow onward—no, there was already too much going on, so I gave up thinking about it.
In the middle of the night, Aqua immediately used the bath. No, she purified the bath.
"Since I had the chance, I wanted to see what Japanese water is like. This is amazing. It's so clean now! The bathwater looks like jewels!"
Her cheerful voice echoed from the bathroom. And light spilled out from the bath.
After that, Aqua announced she'd perform party tricks, made a racket, rolled around laughing, and then fell asleep on my futon without permission.
I couldn't sleep a wink.
The next morning, when I looked in the mirror, I had terrible bags under my eyes.
"Good morning, Kazuma! You're going to school, right? I'm going too! If I have a family registry, maybe I'm already enrolled in a school!"
"……Give me a break."
But reality wasn't so kind.
The moment I entered the classroom, I tasted that atmosphere again.
"Oh, the transfer student hero's here."
Giggle giggle. Laughter still leaked from around me. Ah, on just the second day, I already had no place in this class.
I need to avoid the landmines and get to my seat quickly.
That's what I was thinking.
"Good morning, everyone. I'm Amano Aqua, and I'll be attending this school starting today. I'd be happy if you'd all be nice to me."
Aqua, in her school uniform, was standing at the classroom door.
Pale-blue hair reaching her waist. Blue eyes sparkling brightly. At that loveliness, the classroom's atmosphere stopped for a moment.
A quiet stir, different from yesterday. The boys were captivated, and the girls murmured "so cute……"
"Actually, I've been living with Kazuma since yesterday. Under one roof, just the two of us."
Smiling sweetly, Aqua dropped the bomb.
The classroom erupted
