Finally done and over with this shabby meal. Time to do that general cleaning.
Already swept the layer of dust yesterday, but still had a long way to go.
These rotting furniture, sooty fireplace, cloudy window glass, not a single rug covered this bare stone floor, all those stains and dirt was still very much there.
Looking around made me realize once again that Kami-samaâs room isnât big.
Itâs a lot smaller than my room at the countâs residence â really, itâs unbelievable that a deity was living in this cramped space.
âThe Supreme God is living in a mansion, if Iâm not mistaken.â
Even Adoracion-sama, the second greatest deity, also had an entire building next to it, although it was a bit smaller.
The residencesâ size shrunk as the status went lower â thatâs the case for the third, fourth and so on. Those who were at the bottom rung of deity society lived together in the same house.
By the way, my Kami-sama didnât even live with the other deities.
They threw him to the Shrineâs edge of the edge, and now heâs living in a shed like place.
It was built in the shadow of the other buildings, so light rarely passes through.
A glimmer of ray shone during mornings, other than that, it was perpetually dark.
âWhat can you expect from this disparate society.â
Ah, itâs not something I could comment on, though, being the aristocrat that I was.
âTo think the Shrine is touting its impartiality, how laughable.â
You didnât even treat the deities equally!
Alright, alright, calm down, Iâm gripping this rug too much.
It didnât matter even if my dress got all dirty, thatâs why I chose a cheap one, anyway.
Oh, a guyâs pants might be a great idea for next time.
Of course, didnât bring pants with me here in the Shrine, but a letter to Father would do. Letâs have him send some to me.
Flexibility â thatâs the only nice thing there was from being born in that countâs family.
Usually, the protocol was âThe Saintess must leave her possessions to serve the deity on her ownâ â with this huge difference in treatment, thatâs none of my business.
They said âon her ownâ, who are they kidding, the Supreme Godâs saintess had a heap of maids to serve her â even though they didnât let me bring a maid from my home.
âThen Iâll just let money do the talking! It isnât mine anyway, itâs Fatherâs!! If he didnât hurry up and solve this substitution affair, then just watch, Iâll definitely waste them all!!â
The rug in my hand was crumpled into a hard ball in my hands.
âKami-sama! Go over to that edge, Iâll also clean here today!â
I forcefully chased Kami-sama towards the edge â-
Failed in making Kami-sama move over there.
He did attempt to do it, and his black, sticky dirt left a trail on the floor.
âUgh, more dirt! Eh, but whatâs this dirt in the first place?â
Mud â too black to be mud.
Itâs stinky, but not something I could identify.
Kami-samaâs body fluids? Ewww⌠maybe a closer look would do. Had to summon my courage to touch it, though.
Stretched my hand, in the end.
âââNO!!!!â
Right at that instant, Kami-samaâs flustered voice rang through my ears from above me.
Too late.
The tip of my finger was stained in black.
Moral lesson â donât carelessly touch anything you donât know.
Didnât even have the chance to reflect on that. The instant I touched it, an intensely painful shock ran from my finger, crawling on the skin of my entire body â-

Everything faded, enveloped in darkness.
