Episode 57 – For some reason, the goddess is mad at me

“…The world is unreasonable after all.”
I looked up to the heavens and muttered to myself as if I were nitpicking God.
After the war-like time sale, Rin and I were on our way home.
Rin was in a good mood and was walking around while humming something.
There was no dirt on her jersey, and she didn’t look as if he had just been in a fierce battle.
On the other hand, I’m exhausted… no, I’m in all sorts of disarray like a ragdoll.
Even though I did nothing at all…
At best, all I could do was plunge into the housewives and get kicked out… Well, if I were to exaggerate, I would say I worked hard to discourage them.
As for the goddess, she was never fought at all.
On the contrary, as we approached, the path opened up like Moses had visited, creating a pathway for Rin.
And the housewives were talking about her.
“Rin-chan, you’re doing great again today.”
“It’s always hard work, even so you’re doing a great job!”
“Good luck with caregiving.”
They called out to her.
I’m not sure what you mean by “care” for a moment… Do you mean like a grandfather or something?
When I asked why we were in this situation, Rin told me that she came to this supermarket so often that they could remember her name.
Some of the ladies who talk to her, often give her a lot of things and are very helpful.
The occasional dish made with sea weed must have been a gift.
Yes, I take my hat off to the goddess for the breadth of her interactions and relationships.
And by the way, it’s never going to happen to me.
In fact, they looked at me suspiciously at the supermarket…
“Rin, how often can you go into such a murderous atmosphere? I was blown away in seconds.”
“Fufu. It’s all because of a difference in experience.”
“You mean you’ve been coming here since you were a kid? I mean, it seems like you’ve known each other for a while.”
“No, it wasn’t that long ago. It was only after I started cooking for Towa-kun that I started coming here.”
“What? …So you’re telling me that you’ve become that familiar with them in a matter of months…?”
“That’s right? But the other day I was with you.”
“The other day …”
I slumped my shoulders and was astonished.
That’s impossible.
This is the goddess’ communicative power…
So you’re saying it’s no big deal to make acquaintances?
Rin tilted her head and looked puzzled, as if she didn’t understand I herself.
I sigh at the sight of it.
“By the way, Towa-kun, I need to borrow I’d like to borrow something…”
“Uh? There’s nothing that I can lend you.”
“Why are you sulking?”
“I’m not. I just want to turn away from the reality that I can’t help it.”
“You’re doing it…”
Rin pats me on the shoulder and gives me a gentle look.
Then she said, “Cheer up,” and poked my cheek.
I felt embarrassed and replied with a curt, ‘I’m fine’.
“Hmm… So what do you want to borrow?”
“It’s a washing machine.”
“I don’t mind, but don’t you use it all the time?”
It’s shameful, but Rin does all the housework for me.
Sometimes I even try to help them, but she refuses, saying, ‘Please study instead of doing that.’
That’s why I feel like a washing machine is a new thing…
“Well, I’d like to wash my clothes, too…”
“Oh, I see. I’m sorry for always leaving it to you, but you can use it as you like.”
“Thank you.”
“But if you don’t want to wash them with my clothes, you can wash them separately.”
“I don’t mind. Just…”
Rin’s blushed a little and she looked down.
“Can I ask you not to look at my laundry when I hang it out to dry?”
“I’m not going to look…why?”
“That, um… underwear is…”
“It’s okay. I’m not interested in underwear, so don’t worry.”
“Aren’t you interested…?”
“Of course. I’m not even remotely interested. I don’t lust after underwear in the slightest, I don’t want to see it, I don’t want to touch it. So you can hang them up in peace.”
I responded with gestures, trying to be as unfazed as possible.
Honestly, am I interested in underwear? …No, of course I am.
I’m still a normal man, with normal sensibilities.
But I didn’t want to give Rin any unnecessary anxiety by saying that.
That’s why it’s my perfect performance.
I look sideways at Rin as we walk side by side.
Rin shivered and puffed out her mouth.
“…Rin? What’s wrong?”
“Are you sure you’re not interested in my underwear…?”
“Not interested at all.”
“I get it already!!”
She turned and walked away, speeding up so that she was one step ahead of me.
She seems to be in a bad mood by all accounts…
What was wrong with my response?
I seriously don’t understand…
After this, I wasn’t allowed to talk to her, and the bad mood continued until we were close to home.
And once we had the house in front of us.
“Hey? Who’s that in front of my house…?”
I stopped in my tracks when I noticed a figure standing in front of my rundown apartment.
Almost no one comes to visit me in this apartment.
But… there was a person standing in front of my house, looking at the inside of my house.
Could it be a thief? I was too worried, but there was no way they would come to a house with no money.
I glanced at Rin and saw that she had her hand on her forehead as if to say, ‘Good grief’.
The figure noticed our presence and turned to look at us, jumped up and down happily, and ran up to us.
“Rin-chan! I’m here!”
When I could see the person clearly, it was a gorgeous woman who looked out of place here.
