Volume 5 (Before) Chapter 4
Without minding my stupefied, dazed self, Kami-sama nonchalantly walked towards me with an expression as if what just happened wasn’t a big deal.
He was clothed now, but the dazzling beauty and figure I saw in bed was still the same. Even with the gentle smile on his lips, the unfathomably terrifying aura didn’t disappear.
“Eleanor-san, please forgive me for what happened this morning. I ended up letting you see such a disgraceful sight. I borrowed some clothes from Adoracion, so it will not happen again…”
Kami-sama bashfully said, but I continued staring at him wordlessly.
He had a human figure no matter how many times I checked him out, but there was no mistaking that voice — he was truly Kami-sama.
His speech, his relaxed atmosphere — nothing changed.
Above all, the divine aura he was clad in matched the Kami-sama that I know.
It’s just that the divine aura had increased to the point that just being beside him was enough for me to tremble.
…. As if it’s gonna crush me just like that.
“Eleanor-san? Is something the matter?”
He looked down on my stock still figure, then he tilted his head in confusion.
If it was his previous form, he might have jiggled, but now, his sleek, golden hair just swayed.
“You’ve been so quiet since earlier… Did something happen?”
Something — hey, everything’s all over the place.
Why was he talking as if it’s somebody else’s business? That’s precisely the “something” that was bothering me.,
“Is there anything that worries you? You look quite pale….Are you feeling under the weather, perhaps?”
However, it seemed that the person in question was still in the dark, with no self-awareness at all.
Kami-sama was beginning to get flustered as I held my peace.
“Eleanor-san, you’re behaving unusually today. What happened? Did something occur to make you feel despondent — Oh.”
He suddenly placed a hand on his chest, as if he finally realized the truth.
He gave an energetic nod, as if he finally understood the situation —
“Eric-san must’ve bothered you once again!”
No, he didn’t notice it at all.
The air suddenly dropped, and I unconsciously bit my lip as I wordlessly trembled in the face of that unfathomable terror brought about by that suffocating divine aura.
“What did he say this time? Did he hurt you with his words once again…!?”
Ugh.
I was about to inwardly burst.
However, Kami-sama remained unaware of my inner thoughts, and he continued endlessly worrying about the incident that happened.
“Else, because it just happened yesterday — are you still upset about Eric-san’s words, perhaps?”
‘Ugh.’
Uggghhhhhh —
“Eric-san is your fiance, so it’s understandable that you won’t be able to easily let go of your feelings for him —”
“Argghhhhh, just stop already!”
Kami-sama dejectedly slumped his shoulders as he averted his eyes. I could no longer hold back, so I ended up yelling.
The terrifying aura, the feeling that I was about to be crushed — all of those feelings were blown away after listening to Kami-sama’s agitated muttering.
I lifted my head to stare straight at Kami-sama. It was his turn to be startled.
“I don’t care a whit about that Eric! Kami-sama!” “W-What?”
“You’re the weird one here, no matter how we look at this, right!?”
I took one step towards him, and he stepped back in shock.
That reaction that was exactly the same as when he was just a jiggly lump made me inwardly tear my hear.
Yeah, this guy here is really the same person as that pudding Kami-sama.
“How can you stay calm about this!? As if nothing happened at all! It’s not like you don’t have any self-awareness, do you!?”
Once the dam was broken, nothing could stop the gushing words.
The release of the tension in my body gave me the strength to step even closer to him.
“Why were all those deities gathered in this room!? What were they talking about!? And what’s with that divine aura!? No, in the first place —”
I ran out of breath, so I inhaled deeply.
I had sooo many things I wanted to ask — but the first and foremost thing was about that.
This was the question I was dying to ask more than anything else.
“Kami-sama!!! Why are you in a human form!!???”
I yelled from the bottom of my heart, before gasping raggedly.
I already spat out the thing I really wanted to ask, and my chest heaved up and down.
Kami-sama blinked in confusion, looking as dazed as ever —
“Thank goodness.”
His eyes crinkled again, obviously relieved for some reason.
“Eleanor-san, I’m so relieved to see that you are back to your energetic self.”
He looked extremely happy, so I subconsciously reached out, but I managed to retract my hand after realizing what I was doing.
If it was his usual jiggly pudding self, I already grabbed and pinched him to death.
You air-head, blockhead, nincompoop Kami-sama!!
