My name is Machio Hiraku.
After graduating from university, I worked for a black-hearted company, spending my twenties in excessive labor, and began living in the hospital in my thirties. Male. Died at the age of thirty-nine.
Then, I am now facing a deity.
"Reincarnated into another world?"
"No, it's a transfer."
"Transfer? I, I thought I was dead?"
"That's correct. So, it means you will be brought to life in another world."
"But my body...?"
"The disease will be removed, and your decaying body will be regenerated. Otherwise, you would die immediately. I'll also make you a bit younger."
"Thank you."
"You don't need to thank me. Sending you to another world is also beneficial for me. In other words, you are reviving in another world for my sake."
"I see. But, do I have to do something specific there?"
"Continue using 'I' if you like. And just living there is enough. Enjoy your second life."
"Is that so?"
"Do you have any objections?"
"No."
"You're so honest. But... are you really okay with that?"
"Y-Yes. After all, I spent nearly ten years lying in a hospital bed, unable to move. Just getting a healthy body and being a bit younger is more than enough for me to be grateful for."
"I see. ...Ah, but, well, since I'm kind of forcing this on you, I'll grant you a wish or two."
"My wish?"
"Mm-hm. For example... special skills, or the fate to meet someone nice."
"Then, I wish for a body that never gets sick."
"...A body that never gets sick?"
"Yes. I've always been tormented by illness. If possible, I don't want to go through that again."
"Mm-hm. Understood. Then, I'll grant you a body that never gets sick... 'Healthy Body.'"
After the deity said that, my body glowed. For some reason, I felt a sense of reality about getting the 'Healthy Body.' Thank you.
"Thank you."
"Hmm... You can also have another wish, you know."
"Eh? But...?"
"Come on, just say it."
"Well, if that's the case... I wish to live in a place with few people."
"A place with few people?"
"Yes. When my parents passed away, people who claimed to be relatives did a lot of things... and the company I joined... So, I have a bit of distrust towards people... No, that's not right. I think I can't really interact with people well. Although I need to improve that, it's a bit difficult right away..."
"So you want to go to a place with few people. Understood. I'll consider your transfer destination."
The deity made a strange gesture towards nothingness. It's probably adjusting the transfer destination. I need to express my gratitude.
"Thank you."
"Another wish is fine too, you know."
"Eh?"
"Come on, just say it."
"Since that's the case... Ah, right! I wish to be able to speak the language of the place I'm going to."
"You don't need to worry about that. Basic conversation with people is no problem. It's like a beginner's package."
"H-Huh?"
"Come on, say your wish quickly."
"Even if you say that... Since I've been lying in a hospital bed, just being able to move is already a great happiness, and most of my wishes have already been fulfilled..."
"Then, is there anything you want to do? The place you're going to is a world of swords and magic, similar to the games you know. Whether you want to become the world's greatest adventurer, a rare magician, or even a king of a place, it's all fine."
"Ahaha. All of those are too heavy for me. But... after my body can move, the thing I want to do... Ah! I got it!"
"Is that so? Tell me about it."
"It's farming."
"..."
"Isn't there a show where idols do farming? Watching that, I've always wanted to try farming... Watching that show, I've often thought back to my childhood, holding a hoe during an experiential learning session..."
"Is that so, farming...?"
"Yes. I want to do farming."
"..."
"Is it not possible?"
"It's not impossible. Although it's not impossible, that wish is outside my jurisdiction. Please wait a moment."
"Okay."
While I was waiting, the deity took out something that looked like an old mobile phone and started a call.
I could hear the words, but I couldn't understand the meaning at all. Is it because of the language difference?
However, the excitement from the other end of the call was clearly transmitted.
"Sorry for the wait. Here, take this."
Saying that, the deity handed me a hoe.
The handle was wooden, and only the blade was made of iron.
"This is the 'Universal Farming Tool.'"
"Universal? The hoe is indeed excellent, but calling it a universal farming tool seems a bit much, doesn't it?"
"Right now, it's because you imagine it as a hoe, but it will change shape according to its purpose."
"Change shape?"
"Mm-hm. For example, if you imagine it as a sickle, it will become a sickle. It can also become a saw, hammer, pickaxe, or shovel, all freely."
"Oh wow."
"Moreover, it's yours exclusively. It will always be with you, and even if you throw it, it will return automatically."
"High performance!"
"Also, for convenience, it will be stored inside your body. It will appear at your will. Try it out."
I tried storing the 'Universal Farming Tool' inside my body and then taking it out again.
"Amazing."
"Use it well."
"Yes, I will use it well."
"...Then, it's about time to move. Be prepared."
"No problem. Thank you for everything."
"Mm-hm. Then, take care." 3
With those words, my body felt like it was melting.
When I noticed, I was standing in a forest.
I checked my body. My body... can move freely. It doesn't hurt. It's a healthy body. Although there's no mirror, from the look of my hands and feet, I feel younger. Early twenties? No, maybe late teens? In any case, there's no problem.
The clothes... I'm wearing clothes I don't recognize. They are like the clothes of a villager in a fantasy work, with pants and a rough shirt. The bottom... the legs are tied with a rope. At least, it's not the clothes I died in, which is a relief. Although I don't know where to pray, the important thing is to be grateful. I thanked the deity again. Thank you.
I stood up straight and looked around.
Forest. No matter where I look, front, back, left, or right, it's all forest.
Although I wished for a place with few people, isn't this a completely uninhabited place?
