First, we go back to the day when the world ended. It was a busy day at Isekai's office.
It's only getting busier.
Sola, the little hero goddess
a) It’s been less than two hours since my shift and I’m already craving my second glass of divine ambrosial (amb)
osia), also known as coffee. She stared at the bright-eyed young man sitting at the desk and felt her pulse quicken.
"I'm sorry, can you say that again?" she asked, staring at the boy calmly.
"Well, it's just...can't you provide me with some super good deception techniques?" According to your contract, I'm supposed to defeat three demon kings, which I think is a very unreasonable request since I don't have extra favors to come help me!"
Solara sighed deeply, closed her eyes, and counted to ten. Then she opened the envelope, carefully reached into the cabinet under her desk, and pulled out a note.
"Well - Jerome - let me remind you of your situation," she said, glaring through her petticoat at the eighteen-year-old who had just stepped into the truck. She began to read.
"Jerome Smith, 18 years old, no significant achievements in life"
"Well, I'm young, you know, and I don't have time!"
"Don't interrupt me, I'll be there in a minute." Solara injected some divine energy into her glare, and the arrogant boy finally shrunk a bit. She continued reading the newspaper, her voice glacial. "Cause of death: Trying to read all 2,000 chapters of the online novel "Go Jade Beauty, This Lord Just Wants to Challenge God" in one go. Died of malnutrition, dehydration and exhaustion."
She read the newspaper and looked at the young man who suddenly fell silent. "What is the reason for this favor?" You know, these are not free. "
The boy raised a finger hesitantly. "I can- - - - - -"
Suddenly, Solara felt a wake-up call hit her senses, as if something suddenly felt wrong. She stood up and gestured to silence the child. "Please wait a moment, something seems to have happened and I have to solve a problem."
She left the child there without hesitation and activated her [Holy Teleportation, which can travel long distances], targeting Mu

A portal opens and she travels across the universe.

Came to hell.
She looked at the burning, crushed earth beneath her feet - what had once been a planet of dirt. Her headache worsened.
"No no no... this can't be happening. I was here two days ago and now the whole planet is destroyed!"
She racked her brains, trying to find a living person who could explain it to her, but she couldn't find one.
Until her senses found their way to the center of the planet, where she finally found a response. There's something there. Something powerful, huge, that seemed to extend throughout the burning hell. It sat there dumbly and silently, slowly expanding, absorbing the crust of a surrounding planet.
"A new planet?" She looked at the ground curiously, wondering what was happening here.
She cast her sense of the divine even further and formed a spiritual connection with that person.
"Hello, excuse me, can you explain what's going on here?"
Solara could feel the creature listening to her, but it didn't respond. The only answer she got was silence.
"Hey, you're in charge here, right?"
Still no response. Solara was really starting to wish she could have a cup of coffee right now.
"Listen, I know you may be new, but things have to be arranged!" A [Hero] plan was sent here, and you know, I need at least three demon lords for him to fight! You can't just...don't care it!"
She pointed to the burning, shattered hell around her, a world too far removed from the demon lord's worst plots.
But she got no response.
She glared at the ground, then kicked the lava and rolling earth beneath her, cursing. "Very good. I'll just leave you here, and I'm sure I can arrange a time acceleration field. You'd better find some demon lord within a few hundred thousand years!"
Solara shook her head at the lack of response and began to use her teleportation spell again, already beginning to worry about the meetings and paperwork she would have to go through to explain this.
Just as she was about to finish reciting the spell, she remembered an irritating detail and looked down again.
"Hey, can you tell me your name?" I'm going to use it for paperwork. We can't have a planet without a name, can we? Leave me alone, I'll pick it myself. I won't be merciful. "
Finally, she felt a response. Not words exactly, but she could parse the meaning pretty well. She frowned. "What do you mean you don't have a name? You have to have something I can call you!"
She got another reply, and her headache doubled in intensity. After reciting the teleportation spell, she returned to the office, right in front of her desk.
At least the annoying boy was gone, probably checking other counters. Solara slumped on the table, trying to think of how to turn the situation around.
"Well, I'm sorry, miss, they asked me to come here—"
Solara looked up and saw a mouse-like girl walking to her desk and standing in front, looking around nervously.
The goddess immediately put on a professional and pious look and nodded towards her. "Okay, what's the new guy's name?"
"Rihito."
"Okay, give me a moment and let me check your files-" Solara said, opening a cupboard and pulling out a newly made note. She began to look carefully. "Well, (New Bard), you're okay for your age. Cause of death: How much damage was done?!"
She yelled the last part, looking at the paper and at the frozen girl. Then she looked at the accomplishments listed. She immediately straightened her back and put on a customer service smile. "Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were one of the beneficiaries of our advanced reincarnation package. I apologize for your rudeness."
The girl looked even more nervous and shrank back. "Reincarnation...so this is really a thing? Others are talking...do I have to do this? Get into a fight or something?"
Solara used a bit of her divine essence to cast [Calming Presence], and the girl's frightened expression disappeared. "Don't worry, Earthlings tend to be like that. They don't really understand like the people of your world do," Solara said, her voice as calm and reassuring as a blanket by the fireplace. "With the benefits that you qualify for...you're going to have a lot of choices. You're not going to be forced to do anything."
The girl smiled nervously, "Ah, good. I just wanted to play more music, really. I think I found something, just when I...well, you know."
Solara thought for a moment, then gestured to the side. "Why don't you just go to our Cozy issekai counter and see what options there are? I think you'll find a great fit." "
The young poet bowed. "Thank you, miss, really."
Solara nodded. "Good luck".
Renren stood up and was about to leave, then hesitated for a while. She turned her head. "By the way, Miss Goddess...are you okay? You seem troubled."
Solara activated her [sacred eyes that see almost but not quite everything] and took a closer look at herself. Her eyes were like those of a dead fish.
The little goddess collapsed on the table and sighed.
"Well, it's just a matter of naming a new planet," she mused, looking up at the girl. Bards are good at names and pronunciation, right?
“Girl, do you know how I should pronounce it??”
