Departure

TWO MINUTES LATER

Soul : Look, i don't know what your gender is or whether there even is a concept of gender at your level...

R.O.B : ( That's rude )...

Soul : But believe me, when I say this line, i say it from all my heart and soul.

R.O.B : ...

Soul : I can feel your pain brother( in deep voice ).

R.O.B : ...

Soul : ...

R.O.B : ...

Soul : ... ( awkward)

R.O.B : Thank you. That means a lot to me ( feeling emotional).

Soul : Okay, lets do this. Please tell me exactly how are we going to do this.

R.O.B : Actually the process is very simple. what i am going to do is simply send you directly to that afterlife office where they will give you the option to choose a gift/power and fight the demon king. Then all you have to do is select a gift/power, go to that world, fight and finish the demon king. Simple Right ?

Soul : Simple ? What do you mean simple ? How is this any different than what happened in the anime ? Kazuma and the others also did the same thing even though they may have selected different gifts. If i also follow the same path as others then, i will also end up with same ending as others which means i will also end up getting crushed by the demon king.

R.O.B : You are right about everything except you forgot one tiny detail child ( smiling )

Soul : Tiny detail ? I am pretty sure that i did not miss any detail.

R.O.B : The tiny detail i am talking about is me. This time you will have my help when you are in that afterlife place which looks like an office from your previous life.

Soul : Okay, but how exactly is that going help me defeating the demon king ? I admit that there are some powerful weapons available in the selection provided to the chosen ones but i am afraid they are not powerful enough.

R.O.B : This time, when you go there and are given the option to choose your gift/power because of my help, there will not be any limit on the number of selections you are provided to choose from.

Soul : Meaning ?

R.O.B : This means that you can choose anything that comes to your mind when you are given the option to select your gift.

Soul : Wait, what do you mean by no limit on the number of selections ? Does it mean that there will be more gifts/powers of similar power/potential as in the anime available for me to choose from ? Or, does it mean that, i can choose whatever i want that comes to my mind ? Please be very clear because, the second option will change everything.

R.O.B : Child, when i say you will have my help, i mean the second option.

Soul : Also, when i choose my gift, i will receive it directly without any problem right ?

R.O.B : Yes

Soul : Second option eh ? This is going to be interesting. Wait a minute!!! You said, i will be sent directly to that afterlife office place from the anime. Does it mean, i will have to face 'Aqua' ?

R.O.B : Do not worry child, you will not have to face her when you go there. I will send you to a different time-line.

Soul : In that case, please send me after the end of season 2 in the anime.

R.O.B : No problem.

Soul : Let's do this.
