Chapter 4: Read title for a hint.

"Is there something wrong?"

I look her in the eyes and say, “Not at all. I just want to know if I can reincarnate in a form different from my current one?”  You’d think such a question wouldn’t warrant me doing that, but it’s that important to me. And thankfully, she knows that too now.

Still, she looks even more perplexed than before as she asks me, "you don't want to reincarnate with a similar form to the one you had?" Which is more than understandable.

"Yes. Is it possible?" I insist with a confident yet calm tone, as I don’t want to sound demanding and I’d understand if it weren’t possible.

"Of course. But are you sure? That part of the compensation was meant to help you as a reminder of your origins and make it easier for you to adapt." The beautiful Goddess looked at me now with curiosity rather than perplexion. Perhaps she’s wondering how I want to look when I reincarnate into her world. Yawue had seemed surprised for a moment but then he just gave me a look that told me he had figured it out and then he shook his head, stifling a laugh and mumbling “of course.”

That's the God of my world for you. He sure knows me well. "Yes, I'm sure. After all, I'm not losing my memories, so I don't think it will be a problem for me. But...could there be any side effects?"

"No, no. There are none. It would be a problem if we were reincarnating you into an already existing body, but since it involves making a custom one from scratch there are no such worries."

I let out a sigh of relief after hearing that. "Ah, that's great. Then yes, I would like to be able to choose."

"Very well. And I suppose you’re in agreement too, right Yawue?"

"Of course. That is well within the realm of what could be considered fair compensation under divine law. You even said that your offer could be considered lesser. As such, this could be considered added value."

"Hmm~, if you put it that way then I have no more doubts." She smiles. Heavenly, of course. But more importantly...OBJECTIVE GET!

YES! YES! YEEEEES!!! She accepted! I’m so happy!! Oh, Goddess, you really are turning out to be better waifu material the more I interact with you. "Then, I shall leave you two to your work, you can use this room as you please. Nerinne, summon me when it is time to finish the reincarnation. And Auros, don't go too overboard with your explanation." Huh? Explanation? Overboard? Me? Ermmm…ok? Well, Yawue just left after leaving me with a giant question mark on the top of my head. I guess he has God-like things to do and since I chose the Goddess' world then that probably means that she has to do most of the work.

"Indeed. It is as you think, Auros. Since you chose my world, I'll be the one creating your body and so on. Other Gods can't help in this process, beyond providing energy and blessings for irregular cases such as yours."

Oh. Ok. By the way, can you at least tell me when you are reading my mind and when you are not?

"You managed to surprise me once already when I wasn't. So, no. Fufufu~~~."

Fine. You beautiful Goddess whose playful giggles make my heart almost fall for you, have it your way.

"I'm glad you understand. Now, do you have an idea as to what you would like your new body to be?"

Oh yes. I do. Several. My new body needs to have a charisma that would make one wonder if one is a king or a force to be followed absolutely. In other words, sublime.

Enough power to hold the ‘ends of the world’, like cataclysms, in one hand and reign over the world’s storms.

An instinct that reads the flow of battle and points me in the right direction in any situation, letting me go for the best result and strike where it hurts the most.

An enormous amount of mana, enough to create an engulfing aura that enhances my strength beyond the maximum at will.

A crown of draconic black horns that shows my power and my authority.

Pale white skin that shines unblemished in both day and night. Golden eyes that glow red whenever my aura is activated or just whenever I want to.

Golden hair that would make even royalty jealous.

And of course, a bountiful chest that's almost divine.

"…eh?"

THERE IS NO NEED TO BE SHOCKED, DEAR GODDESS! I SIMPLY WISH FOR THE BODY THAT PUTS ANY OTHER CHOICE TO SHAME.

THE BODY OF MY BELOVED WAIFU.

"Fufufu...hahahahaha...there you go again with that word Auros...fufufu~."

Umm…did I go a bit overboard? Sorry if I made you uncomfortable.

"No, no. That is just how you are, right? There is no need to apologize~. Hmm…” Then, as I am about to note how relieved I am to hear that, the Goddess goes pensive for a moment until something clicks for her, making her go “ah, I know!” and she immediately turns smaller, which has taken me by surprise, I have to admit.  "Since we are going to be working together, I thought it might be better if I matched my height to yours. So please, continue acting as open and casual as you have been," she says with a big, warm smile. Damn...the impact it makes is even stronger now that she’s near me...her body too. She is just too gorgeous.

"Thank you. I'm glad you find me beautiful. When I revealed myself to the mortals of my world, they thought I looked strange, so they chose to use another form to worship me."

WHAT?! WERE THEY BLIND? THEY SHOULD BE PUNISHED!

"Fufufu~~, no. I think their minds were not prepared enough to be able to see me completely. I would wager that they may have just seen my eyes and a ball of light, or a ball of light and hair."

"Oh, so it was a biblically accurate type of thing." Indeed, in some of the novels I read there were times where gods tried to talk to the heroes, but their messages were misinterpreted because their minds weren’t prepared.

"But enough of that. I really want to know what a 'waifu' is and why you want to have her body."

"Hmm, of course, but it will take some time for me to be able to explain it to you properly."

"Don't worry about that. I'm a Goddess, I can quite literally make time~. So please, explain it to me."

"Very well. I shall enlighten you in the ways of waifuism! And for that...!" I ripped off my 'shirt,’ letting my naked soul shine brilliantly. The Goddess looked surprised. I was too, because I had no idea if what I was trying to do was going to work, but it did! "I need all of these materials!! Come out!! My full collection of everything weeb!!!" The first game, the novelization and its sequel, the series, multiple spin-offs and so much more! Of course, I also brought forth the mobile game that is the birthplace of my beloved waifu!! AGAIN, AND SO MUCH MORE!!

"But you are not supposed to be able to bring objects from your world into this place..." The Goddess murmured, shocked to the point that her eyes were wide open.

"That is because...THEY ARE ENGRAVED IN MY VERY SOUL!!!!!" And with that, I began my long explanation. Hope you are ready for the ride, Goddess. It’s gonna be wild!
