Lydianne and Amaldaâs friendship is famous within the Shrine.
Both of them are top-ranking saintesses, so there are a lot of things they have in common, and they probably understand each other well. Docile Amalda idolizes Lydianneâs fiery personality, while Lydianne takes good care of her.
At first, they would only meet each other on business, but soon enough, they started meeting up even when they had nothing to do â as long as they have the time, theyâre inseparable, and it has become the norm to see them together.
People can always see them happily chatting over tea in the terrace of the cafeteria reserved exclusively for the top-ranking saints. If not, theyâre having tea parties with each other at their deitiesâ mansions.
Even the deities, who are said to only mind their own saintesses, were making an exception for them.
Well, I guess itâs understandable given that Supreme Deity Granverite and God of War Adoracion, the second-ranked deity, are brothers. If itâs the saintess of his beloved brother, itâs possible to cultivate fond feelingsâŚ
Well, all of these are just stuff I heard from others.
âI donât know! I havenât even met Liddy!â
Their friendship is nothing but rumors to me, since I havenât heard anything directly from her.
The other person in question is Amalda, and I can only begrudgingly acknowledge how good she is at clinging to other people and making them treat her well, thanks to my own experience.
Those rumors are probably half-truths. I donât think Lydianne has the patience to idly sit and chat away on the terrace, and I believe most of the stories have a lot of exaggerated stuff mixed in.
Still, that doesnât mean everything is a lie.
âI do see them together often. I did see them getting along well on the terrace. Iâll never forget how she ignored me back then!â
We bumped into each other at the dining hall, and we even met each otherâs eyes, but Lydianne just turned away with her nose pointed to the air. Argh, my bloodâs boiling just by the memory of that.
âIf she apologizes first⌠was what I thought, but I donât care anymore! Go and be chummy with Amalda for all I care! Itâs not like I wanted to talk to Liddy!â
Hmpf! I snorted, then I shook my head again, quite vigorously this time around.
If I force Lydianne out of my head, sheâs replaced by Kami-sama.
âNo, itâs not Liddy I should be talking to in the first place; it should be the priests. But⌠I donât think theyâre gonna believe meâŚâ
Who could possibly believe that my deity had transformed into a human figure when I woke up?
Besides, the deity in question was no other than âIncompetent Godâ who is infamous within the Shrine. The divine aura should be able to verify that itâs him, obviously, but even so, that heaviness and his new appearance was enough for doubting he was somebody else.
âWhy didnât he know the reason for transforming into a human? And itâs also possible that he will suddenly revert to his former appearance by tomorrow.â
Just as his change was so sudden, I canât shake off the possibility that he might return just as suddenly, without any warning at all.
Because of this, I was a little hesitant to approach a priest at this moment.
Besides, that air-head â Kami-sama, I mean â must be inwardly confused too, despite his expressions.
If I suddenly took a priest with me tomorrow, he wouldnât have the time to settle down.
âI should consult Kami-sama first whether I should report this to the priests. Iâll talk to the priests after I get his consent.â
But in that case, I wonât have anywhere else to vent out these endless worries of mine.
âMaybe I can talk to Mari and Sofie. Iâll meet them at the dorm, after all.â
But then, itâs those two weâre talking about. Theyâll probably kick up a fuss, like âWhatâs the use of worrying when he turned into a handsome guy, huh!? â or âAre you bragging now!?â â ahh, just thinking about it made me bitterly shake my head.
