<h4>Chapter 1: Prologue</h4>


    Even though our lives are our own, there are not many things in life that we can choose for ourselves.


    Take parents, for example.


    I would have preferred having rich, kind and caring parents, but life doesn’t always turn out the way we want it to.


    However, such a thing may be inevitable.


    The world would copse if all moms were beautiful, stylish, kind, cooks well, and usually unleashes two-hit multi-target attacks.


    Bloody battles between fathers and sons over a woman would break out here and there.


    The world is maintained by a delicate bnce.


    I understood this well even in the short 25 years of my previous life.


    My life began without me wanting it to, and ended when I was it by a truck.


    It wasn’t a death that I wanted.


    In other words, my choice did not intervene at either the moment of my birth or the moment of my death.


    And now, even in the time between rebirths, I am not allowed the freedom to choose my upation.


    In this room, people that are to be reincarnated gathered.


    It was a small conference room with only a few pipe stools.


    There was nothing special about the room that would make one feel like they were in the afterlife.


    I was killed in a traffic ident and found myself here.


    At what seemed to be the head seat in the room, a man in a suit is interviewing the dead one by one.


    He is confirming each people’s next reincarnation and gives out Unique Jobs.


    It seems that there’s no careless big-breasted Goddess that would bestow people cheats huh……


    Well, I guess it’s a mistake to seek encounters before reincarnation.


    Besides, rather than an airheaded Goddess, I prefer slit-eyeddy knights more.


    Yeah, that might be a rare attribute, but exactly because it’s rare thatpetition is lower for it.


    I look forward to meeting such a person in the next life.


    At any rate, it seems that it wasn’t an urban legend that if you are hit by a truck, you will be transported or reincarnated in another world.


    Even now, there are several people in the room waiting to be transported or reincarnated.


    [Heehhh…… You were hit by a 4-ton truck huh. I was hit by a 10-ton one.]


    I guess, no matter where it is, there would be people who would want to make meaningless boasts.


    An e-faced guy was bragging to a thin boy.


    I mean, it’s not like he wanted to get hit by that 10-ton truck, right?


    If he had wanted to kill himself by getting hit by a really big truck, he should have gone to the US and threw himself in front of a trailer truck.


    Heartbreakingly, he was sent off to the next world with a shabby Unique Job “Novice Mage”.


    He must have wanted a better Job.


    After all, when he was told his Job, the man had an obviously mortified look on his face.


    Incidentally, the boy who was hit and killed by the 4-ton truck started his isekai trip as a Hero.


    It seems that there’s no causal rtionship between the size of the truck and the goodness of the Unique Job you’d get.


    At least, it seems that bigger isn’t always better.


    I was sttered by a lightweight truck, so I was a little relieved.


    [Next, Yahagi Yuusuke-san.]


    [Yes!]


    I stood up vigorously when my name was called.


    While it may seem strange for the deceased to be so vigorous, I believe that feelings are important.


    [Yahagi-san won’t be reincarnated, but transported.]


    As the man flipped through papers, he spoke to me.


    [Transported?]


    [Yes, you will go to another world as you are.]


    [Huh……]


    I guess that even if I defied being transported somewhere, this will not be overturned.


    I ept my new life with open arms.


    As I said before, there are few things in life that you can choose for yourself.


    [As for the world Yahagi-san will be heading to, it will be a so-called world of swords and magic.]


    I have no objection to that either.


    In my next life, I will probably spend my days fighting.


    If I received a cheat ability, I will be satisfied with that.


    I intend to live life to the fullest.


    [As for the Unique Job Yahagi-san will receive, it has been decided to be “Dagashi Shopowner”.]


    I see, I see, that’s my cheat job huh…… Wait, Dagashi Shopowner?


    [Ummm, this Dagashi Shopowner is……?]


    [You don’t know what dagashis are? They’re inexpensive snacks that even children can buy.]


    Of course, I know that.


    [If you solemnly think “Open”, the shop opens. Conversely, if you solemnly think “Close”, the shop disappears. It’s a useful ability, isn’t it?]


    The man in the suit in front of me said confidently.


    Seeing the smug look on his face kinda pisses me off.


    [May I ask you a question?]


    [Well then, please enjoy your new life.]


    I didn’t even get to ask my final question before I was thrown out into a new world.
