"This could be called a platinum room,"
I muttered while shielding my eyes from the light that blinded and overwhelmed me.
One second I'd been in Tsukuyomi-sama's cozy lunar chamber with soft moonlight and jasmine tea steaming gently.
The next poof I teleported into a sterile white void that sparked a divine migraine.
Walls floor and ceiling all shimmered platinum reflecting my squinting face a thousand times over.
It wasn't a room but a disco ball from hell designed to punish retinas as my head throbbed like I'd stared at the sun.
"Ara you're already here?" came a silky condescending voice like velvet wrapped around a dagger.
I blinked through the glare and there she was the Goddess perched on a throne of swirling light.
Her form was a masterpiece of ethereal beauty with golden hair cascading like sunlight and skin glowing like polished marble.
Eyes like twin sapphires appraised me as trash while she radiated perfection that made me feel like an ant at a supermodel convention.
Her tone was peak goddess-speak arrogant playful and utterly tone-deaf.
"That old man Tsukuyomi's power has weakened huh stuck in that barbaric world with no helping it."
Old man? My fists clenched at the insult to Tsukuyomi-sama the guy who'd just saved my digital soul.
But I bit my tongue and decided to play nice Makoto at least for now.
"Anyway it's been ages since we met and he forgets my personality to pick a male candidate? Senile! Ahahahaha!" Rang her laughter like tinkling bells laced with venom.
My jaw tightened because personality meant more like personality disorder.
"There were two girls right up my alley he should've chosen one! Geez good thing I had insurance who knows what would've happened?"
Insurance? Alarm bells rang in my head.
But before I could process she leaned forward with sapphire eyes locking on me like a laser.
"Well patience Makoto right? Your parents and I struck that contract ages ago but..."
Here it came the pitch.
"You see I took a quick nap I mean blinked and poof racial balance collapsed while hyumans fell into deep trouble with demons and spirits running wild!"
While you were napping?! I stared dumbfounded that her world was crumbling because she hit snooze.
"So I remembered the deal your folks multiplied like rabbits in that blink and I thought perfect call one to fix my mess!"
In a nap she definitely said nap.
I pictured her drooling on a cloud-pillow while wars raged below as rage bubbled hot and clear.
A side of me I never knew emerged sharp unfiltered and snapped awake because who does this?
Who drags a kid across dimensions for her screw-up?
"Ahahahaha! You really their kid? Ehh wait."
She waved a hand and screens of light flickered like a divine app showing family photos with my sisters' faces popping up.
"Ara the middle child? So ugly..."
Tsuki-sama! My heart screamed because this was bad so bad!
"Ah blood connection confirmed but you're the pitiful one~! In family pics or anywhere you're the ugly duckling with zero swan genes horrible right~?"
Her giggle twisted like a knife and I saw red ready to chew her round or devour her whole you platinum-plated.
"To give you power? Impossible sorry but vanish to the surface already your existence is gross."
Gross?! If there was a poisonous Goddess Bug that scared off lions it'd still be cuter than her and I'd befriend that bug.
Rage clarified everything because dragging me here then rejecting me like yesterday's trash for her nap-fail?
Even a fashion-obsessed high school girl would handle this better!
But nothing came out as my mouth flapped uselessly and insults died in my throat.
"?? She tilted her head mock-confused.
No good words stuck like divine duct tape.
"What're you doing? Can't even talk? I'm the sole deity here a maiden goddess! Sharing a room with you is a sin if I get pregnant how'll you compensate?"
Pregnant?! Damn tsundere with 100% tsun would be heaven compared to this!
I don't want this don't want a world under her no way.
Tsuki-sama help! Emergency exit please!
"Well regulations say one transfer only it's done wish we had a cooling-off period."
"Y-You!" I finally choked out with my voice cracking.
"Dragging me for your mess don't gimme that!"
"Uwaaa barbaric! Your voice isn't even beautiful forget helping I'm done."
"What?!"
"I've got heroes for my saga better than you. Stay quiet in my world don't cause trouble insurance was smart~"
Like hell! I'd resolved for this forgone games sisters Earth everything!
And she yeeted me like garbage?
"Ah~ Already scouting a drop-spot even from here you won't die people from that world tenacious! Shocking~"
Minutes in and this selfish verdict? If I died and faced judgment I'd prosecute her with murder in my eyes!
No reason for this cruelty!
"Also? Don't spread your unsightly seed on my beautiful people pardon me from marriages world'd get filthy."
Ears went numb better than dojo sensei's impossible tasks or club senpai's trauma events way better.
No reality crashed in despair locked in her world with Goddess spiritual disorder confirmed alarming.
"Ah right I joked about no power but I'll toss you 'compensation' for future's sake."
She monologued to herself compromising alone.
High pride normal for gods? Tsuki-sama special or this bug? Tea cling to tea memories for sanity.
"Hey the Misumi hearing me?"
The progress from "this/that" hi world I'm Makoto Misumi family eldest son technically middle but whatever.
"What?"
No politeness forgiven anyone would agree I'm right.
"Made it so you 'comprehend' demon and mamono speech try befriending goblins orcs don't trouble other races now go."
"What a way to wa?! Wawawa?!"
Drop sudden stomach-lurching freefall.
"Aahh~?! Even his screams aren't beautiful! Nymphs clean every speck if it spreads unbearable!"
Last words am I devil spawn?! Germs live fuller lives!
At least say "Sorry fell in love at first sight had to act harsh for divinity" with tears? I'd forgive a sliver.
Nah her tone pure natural bitch.
Damn that Goddess NO BUG!!!!
Vision blackened cold!!
"Uwaaa?!"
Wasteland rushed up as night wind whipped like icy knives tearing tears from my eyes not emotional!
Wind! Swear.
From glitter-palace to starry abyss hahaha she dropped me.
Altitude skyscraper height wasteland below barren cracked earth like a modern drone shot if lit.
But death no question overpowered or not splat equals paste.
Gag affinity? Group rank #2 mediator helper comedian attempts? Flops skills exist in magic worlds right? Sadly zero here.
No way out sky wasteland end.
Mom Dad thanks for birthing me there dodged her protection curse more like.
Nee-san Rin no dangers now proud of our 10 years.

Eyes shut please painless.
Readers of Tsuki ga Michibiku thanks for....
"Dono! Makoto-dono?!"
"Tsukuyomi-sama? Hearing you why you not this world's god? Regret..."
"Get a hold! Do you hear me?!"
Real?! But no contact possible?
"What a mess. I heard everything. Sorry for both of us her recklessness..."
"Tsuki-sama! Wanted to meet seriously!"
Speed-talk didn't care. I told Tsuki this fall would kill me.
"True you'd hurt a bit but not die!"
"Anyway okay? Try landing."
Time stretched revolving lantern effect? Distance to ground still far.
"Feel like second-floor mat-fall no injury."
"Wow."
Inhuman impressive Earth's load forged me?
"Hard training paid off normally?
Splatter."
"Training equals mat? Unexpected perk!"
Body stats leveled up big.
"But scary height I'll ease it peace also matter to discuss."
Hesitation right impossible comms?
"Um weren't you?"
"Ah pushing limits hundred-year sleep after."
"Wha?!"
Leaked out huge sacrifice! Gods should be this noble fits my convenience but yes.
No lies white light enveloped me fall softening to feather-float.
"During her delay long wait right?"
"Yeah."
"She exploited connections dragged two from Earth!"
Kidnapping?! Goddess okay with this?!
"No way! Sisters?!"
"Not relatives close though transfer overlapped acquaintance? My negligence too sorry."
Not negligence her violation clear from Tsuki's panic.
"Sleep soon won't meet in your lifetime but I'll report punishment incoming Creation Goddess or not barbaric definite consequences."
Voice fading pushing hard.
Damn wanted him over that bug!
"Those two okay?!"
"Yeah royal castle summon hyuman contact safe full divine protections."
Hard to say treatment gap? Brutal.
"I get your feelings no ties to Earth so no right to ask but if you meet them treat well."
So gentle even to her victims.
"Full goddess buffs? Powerful right?"
"Strip that you're strongest survived Earth with hyuman magic reserves intact no comparison."
Continued "I'm vague moon shifts in dormancy but other moon gods'll handle also big parental power reserve."
Izanagi-omi confidence poison-laced.
"Won't lose to her blessings relieved?"
"Oh~ Full throttle!"
"Your hero role? She stole it no holding back by Tsukuyomi's name Freedom! Do what you want Misumi Makoto!"
Angry Tsuki-sama? Best! No need permission but authorized? Yahooooo!!!
Lunar light wrapped me gentle landing.
"With spirits' will pray we meet again."
Cracked gone.
"YES!"
From my god high-pitched cheer.
Goddess? Bug tasty?
I stood on unknown soil ready.
(Foreshadow: Chest pulsed blank skill stirring hungry for first blood.
Those "two heroes"?
Classmates now rivals in a castle feast. Wasteland hides mamono allies and hyuman slavers smelling profit.
Next: Claws out skill blooms village welcome or trap?
