KamiKatsu: Working for God in a Godless World (神無き世界のカミサマ活動)

Ho! Heave ho! Heave! Ho ho! Heave ho!

Heave ho! Heave ho! Heave ho! What's with this flash mob.

Anyway? Here. Us only seven. We have brought forth the successor. Mhm.

Good work. You hear that, Yugito. The time has arrived.

You'll be entering the ritual of Mutsumi.

That guy is my dad. He's the founder

of this obviously sketchy looking sect.

Which is why I've had so many

messed up things happen to me since

I was a kid. But all that ends today.

Submerged in water for three days. He shall overcome death.

We will see him rise up and become our new leader.

Don't do this, dad, stop! Just listen to me.

What you're doing here is straight up murder. Please. It's a ritual.

Nope. Total waste of time. Oh, God.

The Great Mitama is ever present and all powerful and therefore invincible.

Fine. I don't even care anymore. Do not fear you, kiddo.

Keep your faith for me. Tamar will save you.

So pray, boy. Pray for me, Tamar, to bring you salvation.

Purify. Cleanse yourself. Believe only in our

one God and your wishes shall be granted.

Be blessed by the supreme sacred treasure.

God bless you. God.

Let all the.

Oh, wait.

What is this? It's my life actually flashing before my eyes.

You really do see it right before you die.

Ah, I was still cute back then.

Anyway, so many terrible things happen to me in that life.

My eyes keep looking deader and creepier.

Today will be the day I become a brand new.

Still so full of hope. When I entered

high school like nothing had ever happened.

What an idiot. From then on, it was

just one crazy thing after the other.

Man, this freaking sucks. What the hell is my life?

I'm just watching porn. Looking dead inside.

Not a decent scene flashed before my eyes.

All powerful. God my ass. If you truly exist,

how about letting me be reborn in

a world without gods or religion?

Then I could make some friends and

lead a normal life. Yeah, right.

We know we are not worthy. O great Lord, meet someone.

Please purify and cleanse us. Lord, meet him.

We beg you to hear our prayer.

Let's see. For men, you need to squeeze this lever and then.

Uh. Uh. Mhm. Mhm.

Oh, he looks lively now.

I just need to yank this lever fast and vigorously.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa. What are you doing? Uh.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

You know, it's really okay. It's not okay.

I wish to serve you now. I'll

serve you until you're healed. Serve me how?

See that? It's the restaurant where I work. My name is Allora.

Allora? Yeah. You can eat there for free anytime you want.

I feel like I've seen this fantasy world before.

It's starting to come to me. I bet

it's that alternate world with the whole rebirth thing.

Oh, good. Glad you feel better. This book

has got lots of helpful tips. Can I ask you a question? Sure.

Do you know where I can find the guild?

What guild? The adventurer's guild. There's gotta

be one in the first village, huh? It's kind of like a job

association place where adventurers meet to exchange information and whatnot.

Oh, you want to work here in the villages?

Well, then just follow me. Right.

I knew it. This is totally the alternate

world I dreamt of with swords and magic.

My previous life was the absolute worst.

I'm so ready to make up for lost time.

I'm starting out with a farming quest. That sucks.

Hey, you're that stranger al saved, aren't you? You talk.

Who's al? Oh, the girl from before.

Every girl in. This village belongs to me.

If you lay a finger on any of them.

Why did you stop me just now?

Just leave him alone. I'm sorry he startled

you. That's right. Hey. I'm Clem.

Would you mind if I asked your name? Yukito. Yukito.

I know it's a bit sudden, but I have

a job for you. A job? Please take this.

Attacker. No way. That's such a classic starter weapon.

Should I begin by vanquishing some goblins?

Goblins? I am so ready for this.

Uh, there aren't enough people in our

village to help out with the harvest, so. Thank you.

Okay, I know how this works. They

want to test the player by forcing

him to do boring quests. In the beginning.

I'll show them how to do it right.

Ha ha. That was a total waste. Hmm.

What's wrong? It's quite a haul, but I think

we may have collected a bit too much.

We don't have a way to preserve all of this fruit,

so whatever's left will have to be discarded.

And you're sure there's nothing we could do about it? Mm.

Mm mm. Yeah. I changed my mind.

Anyone who can make booze out of fruit is all right by me.

Oh, yeah. No one has to pay

for booze anymore when you can just make it. Oh.

So good. Let's keep that fruit juice flowing.

This past month has been nuts. I've worked the soil,

taken care of the livestock, made wine.

But nothing that's supposed to happen after

being reborn into one of these worlds

has come close to happening. Come on.

Sis. Put the booze down and come help me.

I climbed all the way up here

to get a better view of my baby sis working that apron.

So no Silmarils. The older sister allows

the younger one they run this place,

which is currently my home, since they're letting me stay for now.

I've definitely made some whack. I mean,

good friends who are always ready to party. But.

Where's my alternate world? Life gear. Like girls and swords and magic.

Mhm. Good job. Yukito. You really know how to drink.

This sucks. It's like normal life, but

with gardening. Everyone run.

A monster.

A what? It's like a huge, strange beast. Which means?

Okay, that's not fair. Slow down. That thing

is definitely something from mid to late game.

Don't worry, I've got this. Oh! Ah oh! Ah.

Scott. Roy, you really know how to use magic.

Yuki. Term. Read.

That was close. One misstep and we'd both be dead.

We're lucky we got away with this amount

of damage. Except we didn't fight. Huh?

The only damage we got is from

running into things as the beast was chasing us. That's awkward.

What the hell? Why aren't you even trying to fight out here?

Why would I? We can't beat those strange beasts.

I'm not getting zapped into an alternate

world where fighting cool looking monsters isn't a requirement.

And what was that book you were reading earlier?

That's the Strange Beast strategy book. It lists ways to escape,

plus first aid techniques if you get attacked and stuff.

Uh, escape strategies. What good is that?

So lame. It seems that the concept

of magic doesn't exist in this world.

Wounds are treated normally. Two are ready to drink.

Check.

This is very different from the life

in another world I had imagined.

But I guess with all things considered, it's not that bad.

Chug chug chug.

And the winner is Yuki.

They all seem so happy. You coming

here is definitely changed their lives for the better.

Um, I was thinking maybe you could

just live here in our village forever.

Oh, yeah. I guess I don't have

to worry about anything like demon lords.

And if I consider how my life was before coming here.

Then. Yeah, I'm still better off. I suppose

I should thank God. What? Hmm.

Mm. What's that mean? What's a god?

Surprisingly enough, this world is not only devoid of magic,

it also seems to lack the concept of gods,

religion or any sort of spirituality.
