Hello dirty world!

"A cleaning tool? You realize most people ask for swords, right? Or, I don’t know, an invincible magic shield?" the goddess exclaimed in shock and confusion.

Miho nodded, convicted of her choice.

“In all my decades of helping adventurers reincarnate in this wonderful world, I have never heard a request like that,” the goddess remarked.

“Wherever people go, messes follow - it’s like entropy,” Miho remarked with a knowing smile.

“And since people are lazy, they are willing to spend a great deal of money for someone to clean up after them,” she pointed out.

The goddess moved to the tip of her floating chair.

“As I told you, you will be reincarnated into a world full of magical creatures. Thousands of heroic adventures lay on your footsteps. This is a unique chance to leave your boring job behind and make your dreams come true,” she explained in a final effort to convince Miho.

But Miho was set in her ways.

"After years of cleaning up after others without a word of thanks, I’ve come to realize the world doesn’t need more heroes - it needs someone willing to tackle the real messes. I have dreamed of starting my own independent cleaning company for years, so I’d like to embrace this new chance.”

The goddess sighed, putting her hand against the side of her face.

“Well, it seems I won’t be able to convince you.”

She closed her eyes and stretched her arms out before her, forming a triangle between her palms. She started rapidly chanting some enchantments in a language Miho couldn’t understand.

A ball of light appeared before her hands, taking the shape of a broom. A gust of magical wind blew her long pink hair away from her body.

The goddess opened her eyes and started speaking with an excited voice.

“Meet Clarice, the ultimate cleaning tool! It could clean any muck, silt, mold, debris, or splatter. And much, much more…”

A mischievous grin formed on her face.

“But that is for you to explore, Miss Miho.”

“This crystal,” the goddess continued as she handed over the broom, “is powered by ether. It draws on the magical essence around you, adapting to whatever filth you face.”

Miho closely inspected the broom that floated in front of her. Its weathered bristles and polished handle exuded an air of timelessness, the broomstick made from an ancient-looking piece of wood. And then there was the magnificent blue crystal sitting at the heart of it, like a jewel on an otherworldly crown.

She grabbed a hold of Clarice. As her fingers closed around the broom, a faint warmth pulsed from the crystal, filling her with an odd sense of anticipation. This wasn’t just a tool - it was the key to her new life.

Thank you, goddess. I promise I won’t let it go to waste.”

“Is there anything else I can help you with?” the goddess asked.

Miho shook her head.

“You’ll find yourself in the quaint village of Friendenshain, nestled between the Forest of Eternal Twilight and the Crystal Peaks. It’s the perfect spot to get started - quiet, charming, and full of messes just waiting for you. I wish you the best of luck, I will be rooting for you!” she said after which she started chanting another incantation.

Light particles started appearing around Miho, her vision getting cloudy.

As the light engulfed me, I gripped Clarice tightly. This wasn’t just a fresh start, it was my chance to show the world that even the dirtiest messes could shine.
