Explanation

The Lying Aqua theory is popular with KonoSuba fans that don't like the circumstances of Kazuma's death (or at least I like to think it's popular).

The theory goes: since Aqua is capable of lying (e.g. "goddesses don't go to the bathroom," etc.), she is able to contrive her own fictional story about Kazuma's death to guarantee that he chooses to be sent to the new world over being reincarnated back to his original world. All to fulfill her damn quota. And she becomes double the bitch she already is when you realize she might have been doing that for all who died before.

For all we know, Kazuma might have actually saved a girl from a speeding truck, and that girl might actually be going through a hell of survivor's guilt everyday. And Aqua not only takes a shit on Kazuma's sincere worry about the girl, but also uses the girl and his friends and family to ridicule him, knowing they can never contend her bullshit unless they die as well.

That said, this fic will cover the death and subsequent life of the last person Kazuma saw before he left their original world. Dunno if she'll count as an oc b/c she's kinda still Natsume Akatsuki's creation, even if he did nothing w/ her. She's nondescript, and she doesn't even get a name. But on the plus side, that means I can mold her into any kind of character I want, just like what Index fans often do w/ Aihana Etsu.

I'm thinking of making her a kind of dark, death-seeker type of girl. Maybe she wanted to get run over before Kazuma stole her chance.

I'm unsure of what to name her, so I'll mainly just refer to her as the girl, or X-chan or sth, and keep her name open, just like what those same Index fans sometimes do w/ Accel.

Appearance-wise, I got little to nothing, but since she's going for that melancholic, emo vibe, I'll limit her color palette to neutrals like gray, white, black, and brown. Maybe she'll have sth like Kazuma's adventurer outfit, sans the green mant.

I don't have big plans for interaction w/ the main cast, but the girl will meet them at some point and will most likely have her own, generally negative, opinions on them.

One more thing, this'll take place after the events of Vol. 8 at least, but I'm all caught up to Vol. 10 w/ yuNS's translations. At the time of this posting, Vol. 11 isn't out yet, but might be after a month or so.

! So for those who are only up to date w/ the anime, expect light novel spoilers!

I hope this gets more KonoSuba fans and writers to think about the Lying Aqua theory!
