The Goddess Of Luck And Hestia

The next morning, I started my day by running just enough to warm my body. And then cooked for my breakfast and ate. Next, I started preparing for my journey, gathering whatever things I might need that aren't in the ring. When I'm done preparing, I went to the lake and took a bath, then returned home again to look around the house one last time.

"Goodbye my lovely home."

As soon as I left the house, I suddenly noticed a blue and white-colored "omamori" lying on the grass "How did it get here? I can't remember seeing it yesterday. Maybe someone else dropped it? Who could it be? It's not exactly a crowded spot, it was just me and gramps for as long as I can remember.

I took the "omamori" to examine it and suddenly, a mellow voice echoed in my ears.

"Ehem ehem, check check, one two three, one two three. That scary old man finally left, time to check on my darling. Wait, this thing is already working? waaa~"

"Hmm? Who's there?"

"Oh! Hi Darling~, I'm your Goddess of Luck~"

"Goddess of Luck? Who's going to believe that?"

"You don't believe me~? I am responsible for your reincarnation in this world you know~?"

"W-what?"

I froze. My reincarnation was a secret, not even Gramps knew it. How could she learn about this? Maybe, just maybe, she is telling the truth?

"So, were you the one who sent me here?"

"Yes~"

"But why? Do you need me to save the world? Is there a demon lord that needs to be defeated here? Some sort of calamity that only the Chosen One can overcome?"

I rained down the goddess of luck with questions similar to those novels from the earth when the mc was reincarnated. The goddess of luck seemed to be taken aback and didn't say anything for a while.

After finishing all my questions with enthusiasm, the goddess of luck's melodic laugh echoed "...Pfft Hahaha! Of course not~ why do I need you to save the world when I can do it with just a snap of my finger. It's not even my world!"

"W-what? Then why? If you reincarnate me, it means you need me to do something for you right? Like a mission or something?"

"No~ no~ no~ I just wanted you to enjoy yourself. My darling~"

"My darling? Who's your darling?"

"Who else other than you? Fufufu~"

"Me? I don't recall becoming a lover of a goddess! How did that happen?"

"It's a trade secret, fufufu~"

"It's fine though, having a goddess as a lover is not anyone can dream off"

"Fufufu~ that's a good mindset, however, you need to get stronger, much stronger, because I have a lot of admirers who might kill you. Fufufu~"

"Of course, you're a real goddess. You being heaven-toppling beauty is a given, right? Well, one or two crazy love rivals won't really bother me much. Unless they learn about me too early of course."

"Fufufu, how reliable~ Don't worry, not like I will hold myself back if someone decided to hurt you for real."

"Hm. Thank you in advance then, I guess"

"You are veeery~ welcome~"

"..."

"Ah, just forget this serious stuff for now. Enjoy your new life. Just don't make me wait for too long. Oh, and grow stronger, so I would be able to brag about you~"

"Alright then, by the way before that, I wanted to say something."

"Hmm? What is it darling~?"

"Thank you for giving me a second chance to live again"

"No problem~ if it's for you darling~ Oh, right, I've heard that it's a tradition for Gods to give systems to people they reincarnate"

When she said that, the whole world suddenly turned bright, I instinctively closed my eyes. After a while, it turned back to normal again.

"There you go, I added something to that omamori to help you in your journey, darling…

"Tsk! I was finally able to talk with my darling and this thing is having a problem again. Darling, seems like I need to go. I will keep contacting you from time to time, so, please, don't throw away this omamori. Seriously, you won't, right? Right?"

Did she just click her tongue in annoyance? And doesn't she seem a bit too clingy?

"Bye bye~ Darling~ see you soon~"

As the goddess of luck bid her farewell, I suddenly felt lips on my cheek and a giggle, that sounded familiar for some reason

"Huh, did she just kiss me? Kind of disappointing that it was just the cheek, but good enough for the first meeting."

After a moment of enjoying the feeling, I shook my head. "What an interesting woman. I can't understand if she is serious or just messing with me. Eh, let's just leave this for the future me."

"Whatever, let's check what did that goddess did to this omamori"

But before I could do anything, a child-like voice suddenly echoed in my mind

[Hello Master, I will be your helper through your journey]

"Hm? Are you the one that the goddess gave me?"

[Yes Master, consider me in the same way as those systems you read from the novel in your previous life]

'What? you mean that novel?'

[Yes]

"I see, it means you will be able to show me my status or something?"

[Yes if you want to know your stats just say "Magical Status"]

"Alright I'll try"

"Magical Status"

Name: Oda Kazuya

Bloodline: (Sealed)

Health State: Normal

Race: Human? (Sealed)

Sex: Male

Knight Stage: Grand Knight

Mage Stage: None

"Woah! It came out! System… ugh do you have a name?"

[...the Goddess of Luck did not give me such a thing]

"I'll give you a name then, hmm"

I started to think of a good name, to tell you the truth I'm not really good at naming. I once named my dog Pitbull even though it's a Shitsue. After thinking for a while. I suddenly recalled the goddess of that white-haired boy from the novel I always read.

So I decided "Your name would be Hestia"

[Done inputting my name. Thank you for giving me a name, Master]

"Mhm, Nice to meet you, Hestia, please take care of me from now on"

[Nice meeting you too Master, Yes, I will take care of you from now on Master]
