My name is Sakura Yoshida, I live somewhere at Hiroshima with my mother. My father died on a war, year ago. Both me and my mother live peacefully on a same roof, and enjoying our time as family.

Until one day I notice some kind of aircraft on the sky. I call my mother and point on the sky.

"Mother, what's that?"

My mother look up and have a fear expression on her face. She dragged my hand and run inside the house.

"Mom?"

"Listen Sakura... What ever happens I will protect you..!"

"..?"

And some time, I look outside the window and look up to the skies. The aircraft drop something, and I am wondering what is it. Outside our house, I saw people looking at the sky too.

And when the thing that dropped by the aircraft hit the ground, a huge explosion happens.

"!?"

"Sakura!"

My mother pushes me down and cover me under the sink of our house. And some time later, the explosion ends but my ears still ringing because of the explosion.

I slowly open my eyes and saw infront of me. 2 pair of hands is holding me but the body is gone, and when I look at the right hand there was a accessory that my mom is wearing.

"... Moth... Er?"

I slowly get out under the sink, and falls. When I looked at my left hand, my whole left arm is gone, the pain just came all at once.

"AAAAAAHHH!!!"

I fall on the ground and somehow it's hard to breathe, it feels like I'm being poison or something. And after a while I lost consciousness, and dies. At least I died together with my beloved mother...

When I thought I died because of that, I woke up in some kind of white room. There's literally nothing but white, there's no person other than me.

"... What's..."

<<Nice to meet you, Sakura Yoshida>>

"You... Know me?"

<<Yes>>

"What about my mother..? Is she here?"

<<I sincerely apologize, but... The only soul I get is yours>>

"... I see... Then... Can you explain what happened... The explosion..."

<<When a bomb called atomic bomb, dropped on Hiroshima (your place) the shockwave of the explosion reached to your house and killed your mother>>

"..."

<<And the cause of your death is isn't the blood loss from your left arm, but from the radiation poison from the bomb>>

"I... Don't understand..."

<<Yes... It's hard to understand that you and your mother died because of the war...>

"No... I can't understand any of it..."

<<Ah...>>

"So... Is this the afterlife?"

<<No, it is not>>

"Huh?"

<<To put it simply... You are reincarnated to be a goddess on an another world>>

"Goddess? What do you mean..?"

<<I want you to occupy the title, Goddess of time>>

"Goddess of time?"

<<The goddess of time is the most powerful than the other goddess which is space and night>>

"Wait..! Am I really worthy to get that power? I mean... What if I use the power to destroy the world or something..."

<<You'll do that?>>

"Of course not! What am I? A devil?"

<<Figures... I just need you to occupy the title, because the title of the goddess of time has been unused for over thousand of years (on a another world)>>

"Thousand..."

<<So we (I) need someone to occupy the title and take responsibility as the ruler of time>>

"Is... Is the role... Difficult?"

The voice silent for a while and making me nervous.

"He... Hello?"

<<Nope. It's not. You just need to sit and give orders>>

"That's it?!"

<<Yeah. Probably>

"Probably..!?"

<<Anyways, will you accept the title of the goddess of time and reincarnate as a goddess>>

"Well... If I don't have any choice..."

<<Then... Sakura Yoshida, on the name of __________. I, _________ will give you the title of the ruler of time!>>

For some reason I can't understand the name. After that, the white room becomes dark. It seems that my eyes are shut, so I slowly open them and saw my self on some kind of ritual.

2 people is kneeling infront of me, and the angels are watching us.

"Finally! In thousands of years, the Goddess of Time has finally awaken!"

And my role as a goddess of time has started on that day. After that I officially name myself Ariel. Ariel the goddess of time. I am also wondering, who is the woman that speak to me on that white room?
