1 Chapter 1: Reincarnation

When I awoke this morning, I found myself in room.

"So you have finally awoke, Your suitable gender is female"

When I noticed my surrounding, I was sitting a place like a window of a teller in a city hall.

Beyond the counter, there's a woman dressed in a business attire facing me.

A woman who looks like in her late twenties just talked to me. A beautiful woman who's giving off an intellectual like aura.

"Although seriously I do not understand what it means, My suitable gender is female means that I'll reincarnate as girl!?"

"That's right. Our decision here is appropriate."

"This is somewhat ridiculous, but as you can see, I am a man?"

"The dead does not have freedom to choose a gender .You look confused. Can you tell me your name, age and occupation?"

I can't wrap my head around my situation. Looking at her appearance, I'll just go with the flow for the time being.

" Tanimoto Izumi, 17 years old… I was once a high school student"

"Once?"

"Right now you see… I'm currently on a voluntarily leave."

"I see, So you're a shut-in. You did seem to be emitting an easily bullied aura"

"So what it has nothing to do with you"

The cause of your death was sleep apnea.

Sleep apnea syndrome.

It's that, where you just stop breathing in your sleep… right?

"You usually aren't supposed to die from sleep apnea though. It just raises your risk of cerebrovascular disorders and heart diseases.

Normally when you die, you either go directly to heaven or hell. But this department handles soul that falls under certain categories how would you say… passionless because every person good or bad have a certain intention that we can call passion but yours mostly belong to the passionless .

Our department goal is to reincarnate souls and enjoy life in a different place without worries and regrets Still, your death was indirectly caused by sleep apnea. Really, the upper management does sloppy work… Anyways, you died. Got it?"

"Haa, I understand."

"Passionless… is it?"

It was as the voice said, normally I am a passionless person, a person without a scrap of motivation except for anime, games and manga

"Without a doubt I am like a speck of dust on earth, or maybe it's better to say I'm merely extra baggage, an existence that offers no benefits for being around, like the uvula or appendix."

"Your self-evaluation is harsh! But I don't care so listen, a passionless soul is basically one that does not fit in with its world. Have you ever felt it? The feeling that your perception of reality and your surroundings were disjointed?"

"I have, but isn't it normal for everyone to experience that at least once?"

"Wait until I finish speaking so don't just say the obvious now in this department, we provide support to souls who lost their body and give them a new one. Your current status is nothing but a soul. If you look closely, you will see that your body is slightly transparent right?."

"Well it's all true. Even if I try to grab my face, It's hollow and there's nothing but air.

The memory engraved in your soul is only projecting your physical body , there is no actual physical substance.but if I died, there's nothing that can done. I didn't suffer, so I guess that's good. It's much better than dying while in pain and suffering. Instead of living a long life and dying while suffering, dying while young and quickly is much more ideal."

From what I understand, because I was born in the wrong world, what is the point in reincarnating such a passionless person? Go force this on to another a person with more drive. Like a person who died screaming, 'Noooooo, I won't die yeeeet!' would be better right?"

you set up a plan to have me be reborn in a more appropriate one, right?"

" what is with that strangely dramatic performance Don't call it a plan. Instead of a plan, it's more like cleaning up after ourselves… an apology for sending your soul to the wrong world."

Basically, if I reincarnate, I might be able to find the motivation to do things or a reason to live.

I don't know if it's okay for me to say this, but I really am a human with very little motivation. Is it really that easy for people to change…?

"That is why despite the fact that you don't have any special traits, still haven't hit a growth spurt yet, a tiny crybaby and socially inept. Yep, that's you. but don't be worried, we won't just send you to another world without anything to help you on your journey. All reincarnates will get a special power in your case a novice gift pact plus changing your gender and appearance as it is already decided"

"A special… Power?"

"Yes, a cheat or so to say. It's common sense that all reincarnates get one."

Whose common sense? It sure isn't mine.

According to her, being reincarnated is a way to let a person with regret live their life to the fullest a second time so this treatment is to be expected.

I, is that so? But this cheat… What is it exactly?"

"Basically, you will be born granted cheats which you will need in that world you can possibly have as girl in your case, but most historical figures revered as a greatest genius, inventor, general, ruler and etc of the past and such are really good examples of reincarnated people ."

"Ohh, that sounds so cool, doesn't it?"

"Be that as it may, it does come with ups and downs."

"How so?"

"If you suddenly find yourself with a newfound talent then you would feel elated, giving you a false sense of superiority and inflating your ego increasing the percentage of making stupid decisions for stupid reasons"

Any remaining excitement about reincarnation I had has been properly snuffed out.

"But now that I think about it, The world you are reincarnating don't need you to be a Legendary Hero straight up from a mythology having all that great skills at fighting anyway so you probably don't have to worry about it. As expected , It is the best for you to be a female."

"Just for reference, what sort of cheat a female normally would get?"

"To give an example, you would be able to charm any man and build your own reverse harem or becoming the greatest beauty. Such a good power I'm jealous. I wish we can swap places without even using your novice gift pack."

"IF YOU WANT TO THEN PLEASE SWAP WITH MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"

All of the frustration that I had built up due to the conversation ended up coming all out like an explosion.

"I don't want to be a girl! Nope! Don't waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaa!!!!"

"This is bit troubling, isn't it? Even if you say you don't wanna…"

As if she just remembered, she stopped mid sentence and looked at the clock.

"Thank you very much for using our service. The office will be open again tomorrow "

"Nnonono,wait! Don't just abandon me half way through!"

"My working hours are over. We can continue our discussion another day."

"Don't joke with me! If it had to be like this then please bring me your superior!"

The office lady clicked her tongue and with a big frown on her face and reached for the phone next to her.

"Ah-, this is from reception no. 2, we have a bit of a problem. Yes, he isn't content with the designated gender and is now throwing a tantrum. Yes."

Patience. Have patience.

"Try to comply with the demands as much as possible? But my hours are already over? I'm getting paid for this, right? A-, yes. Understood. Yes yes, I said I understood. Yes. Well then, excuse me."

The lady put the receiver back into place and let out a long, deep sigh that seemed as if her soul is escaping through her mouth. But immediately afterward she made a poker face and then turns towards me. The half dead person a few moments ago has been replaced by someone who actually looks professional. I felt like our conversation will finally be getting somewhere now.

"I'm sincerely sorry to say that your demands had been rejected."

"Don't lieeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Didn't they just say to comply with my demands as much as possible!? Do your work!"

"I don't want to hear that from a shut in."

I had nothing to say to that.

"In the end, what about a being a girl do you have problems with but there's nothing I can do about it so as a compensation just state your if you want because not everyone get a chance?"

"Yes I but please I would appreciate if the world I am familiar with it so make it an familiar world so that I would at least have a general idea of what sort of world it is"

"Thank you for your cooperation by the just so you know it is The Mech Touch by Exlor"

I don't know what I am thinking during this moment that I am easily baited and the consequences of it is a story for another time but from the looks of it will be a world about mechs

My new appearance is completely different from my previous life because it was straight out of fiction

It looks like a half between human and elf from fantasy stories in other words a half-elf having a long, straight platinum blonde hair.

The amber eyes that were a bit slanted and having strong-willed look.

Having 160cm for height, and a slender, model-like figure having a moderate size of breast.

She is most beautiful girl I could ever see she is totally my type but thinking about it the pros outweigh the cons plus at least I still haven't used my novice gift pack
