Prologue

Your opponent is the god who once ruled the Earth.

Huh?

I... Tenjou Yuuya, opened my eyes wide at Reimei-samas words.

Rei-Reimei-sama, do you know about this god?

According to Saara-san, there was a god on Earth in the past, but...

Well, I dont know much about it, but I do know that they were beings that were destroyed by humanity.

By humanity?!

I was surprised by the unexpected words.

Thats right. You probably dont know about it because its already part of history, but... a long time ago, God existed on Earth.

Saara-san said the same thing.

Umu. Besides, the circumstances of Earths birth are very different from what you learn.

Eh?!

This world... that is, the universe and the earth, was suddenly born from nothing.

I-isnt that what they call the Big Bang?

Hmm... I guess you could say that, but you could also say its something else... Its really hard to explain... For now, I can say that this world was created by mysterious forces, not by any scientific forces you know of.

Uh-huh...

Well, just keep it in mind for now. Anyway, the Earth, which came out of nothing, has a will of its own, and it is this will that created and allowed the current life forms on Earth to flourish.

I see.

By the way, I was born the moment the Earth gave birth to life.

Eehh?!

I was taken aback by the incredible fact she told me so casually.

W-Why at that moment...

Because the concepts of life and death were first born on Earth. I was naturally born as an existence that manages dead things.

I knew that Reimei-sama was a powerful being, but I had no idea that she was so powerful.

Well, enough about me. Anyway, all the beings that live in this world were created by the will of the Earth. However, there were those who wanted to rule the Earth. Those were the gods who once ruled the Earth.

.....

The scope of the story was too large...!

The ancient gods were born out of nothing, just like the Earth. Therefore, they are equal to the Earth. However, the gods tried to become the rulers of the Earth. The being that was created to oppose them was the girl named Saara that Yuuya was talking about.

I see...

A long time ago, as the girl named Saara says, there was a continent called Moatra. But in the end, it rebelled against the gods and disappeared with them. And then the Earth took on its present form and things settled down.

I could only remain silent as I listened to the story of the people of the continent of Moatra, which Saara-san had not told me about.

Then Reimei-sama raised her eyebrows.

Well, from what Yuuya told me, it doesnt look like it was destroyed. After all, the other party is a god, even if they are corrupt. Unless they have star power or divine power, they cant destroy humanity. Wait a moment.

Reimei-sama said this and then quietly closed her eyes, releasing her spiritual and mystical power.

A short time later, Reimei-sama quietly opened her eyes.

Hmm. This is strange.

Huh?

I just checked the situation on Earth. I could definitely confirm the presence of divine power. Those must be the divine soldiers that attacked Yuuya and the others. However, I cant detect the presence of the gods themselves.

What... does that mean...?

Now that the divine soldiers have appeared, there must be a god who summoned them.

However, as far as I could tell from what Reimei-sama said, there was no god-like presence.

I dont know about that either. Maybe they hide their power well, or maybe there is some other factor at play... Anyway, even if the existence of a god cannot be confirmed, as long as the divine soldiers have appeared, there must be a reason. Dont let your guard down.

And so, after hearing from Reimei-sama, I returned to the real world.

***

Im home.

Ah, Yuuya-sama! Welcome back!

Lexia-san greeted me when I returned from the underworld.

So, how was it?

Well, I heard many stories. Anyway, how is Saara-san?

Oh, thats right! That girl has woken up!

Lexia-san led me to where Saara-san was, lying on her futon with her upper body raised.

Luna, Yuti, Night, and the others were gathered around her.

Ah, Yuuya-san...

Are you okay?

...Yes. Im sorry for showing you such an embarrassing sight just now.

Saara-san bowed her head as she said that.

So, I decided to tell Saara-san about the story I had heard earlier in the underworld.

Please dont worry about it. More importantly, I heard your story.

Eh? H-how did you...

...If you ask me how I did it... I went to the underworld... but theres no way shed understand that...

Lexia-san puffed out her chest as she looked at me.

Of course, its because its Yuuya-sama!

That doesnt explain anything!

I-I see.

Youre convinced?!

Maybe because Lexia-san was so confident, Saara-san was confused, but she also came to accept it.

The super-popular model had been called in by the president of her talent agency, Star Productions.

Excuse me.

You came.

When Miu entered the presidents office, she found the president there.

I heard that you wanted to talk to me...

Yes. First of all, please take a look at this. Kurosawa.

Yes... here it is.

Kurosawa handed Miu a piece of paper at the presidents request.

Um... a movie poster?

The poster Miu was handed was for a certain foreign movie.

Miu was confused by being handed a movie poster out of the blue.

Um, what is this...?

You dont know this movie?

I think its that movie thats been in the news lately thats in production, right? Its being directed by a rather unconventional and famous movie director...

When Miu replied like that, the president grinned.

Thats right! The director whose movies always break the 10 billion yen box office mark is currently filming her latest movie!

Huh...?

As a model, Miu was at a loss to understand why the president had brought up this topic and was simply stunned.

Then Kurosawa spoke up.

As a matter of fact, the president has a personal relationship with this director, and one of our agencys models has been chosen to appear in the movie.

I see.

The director of the poster Miu was holding was known for his ability to guarantee box office success with his movies, so acting in a movie directed by him was a very important career move for actors.

Thats why Miu was really surprised to hear that the president knew the movie director personally.

Then the president spoke.

Thats why I invited you.

M-me?!

The president said to Miu, who looked up in confusion.

Youyou have to appear in this movie.

Eh?!

Miu was taken aback by the unexpected order.

However, she quickly came to her senses and opened her mouth in panic.

W-wait a minute! Why me? Im a model, and besides... I dont even have any acting experience!

It was a reaction that could be considered natural, but the president didnt seem to mind.

I know that. But I thought this would be a good opportunity for you to try your hand at acting.

Well... but theres someone else in our agency who wants to appear in this movie...

Then Kurosawa spoke up.

Unfortunately, due to scheduling problems, there are no actresses available to participate.

Thats the situation. But even so, we cant pass up the chance to appear in this geniuss work, can we? Thats why I asked you to participate.

.....

Miu was lost for words.

However, the president continued without flinching.

You have certainly had great success as a model. But I think it would be good for you to try something in the wider world. Thats why I think this offer wont be a bad thing for you.

B-but acting...

Dont worry about that. I heard from the director that you dont need any acting experience.

Eehh...?

Miu was confused by the offer.

In fact, the fact that they were willing to hire someone with no acting experience made her feel that they must be a genius.

Then, ignoring the confused Miu, the president continued.

So Ill let the director know about you.

Eh, um, really me?!

Thats right! So pack your things now!

Right now? U-um, what about my other job?

As Miu was about to say this, the president simply told her.

All of them are canceled!

Eehhh?!

Dont worry, I already told them!

Still, you cant just suddenly... By the way, where are they filming...?

Overseas.

Overseas?!

Miu was surprised by the unexpected location of the filming.

However, the president continued to speak in a matter-of-fact manner.

Of course! After all, the other party is a movie maker based overseas.

Well, that may be the case, but... if theyre coming to our agency, I thought for sure they were going to film in Japan!

Of course not! If that were the case, it would have been all over the news by now. Anyway, youd better get ready!

Eehh...

Miu cant keep up with the fast-moving story.

However, the president immediately contacted the director, and Mius appearance in the movie was officially decided.
