Vol 2 - Chapter 11

Volume 2 Chapter 11

“It’s me! Your Saintess! You never show your face to me even if I visited you in your room…But now, you finally came to see me!”

The voice echoed through the corridor.

She probably came chasing the Lufure-sama’s divine aura.

Her footsteps drew closer.

“Argh! That hag’s chasing me all over the place!”

“mgmgfhgh…?”

My mouth was still covered, so I peepked at Lufure-sama’s face.

He had been smirking so cheekily earlier, but now his good looks were contorted in loathing.

It’s not the expression of someone welcoming his wife.

More like hating her to the bones — that’s how it looked like.

“Lufure-sama, I know you’re near! Is it here? Or perhaps here? Oh my, you really love pranks, don’t you!”

The saintess was opening doors while saying that.

The sound was drawing closer and closer, sending chills down my spine.

“mgfh…Lu, Lufure-sama..! She’s calling you!”

I managed to pull his hand off my mouth, then told Lufure-sama so.

She’s his saintess, and she looked like she wanted to meet him, too, so shouldn’t he go out to her?

Well, that’s how I think, and then there’s this situation.

If we got caught like this — glued together on the bed, albeit reluctantly — then she might overthink things, leading to a huge misunderstanding, and that’s totally worrying.

But Lufure-sama still had that grim face.

“Shut up!!”

“B, but…”

“– Lufure-sama~!! You’re in here, right!? You can’t deceive my eyes~!”

But she’s knocking on the door of my room, now, you know!

It’s someone else’s room, yet she’s trying to force her way through, hear that rattling sound!?

S, so glad I locked it!

“You’re there? You’re there, right!? I’m not mistaken! It’s useless even if you lock the door!”

Creepy!

That saintess continued pounding on the door as if trying to break it down.

Even if we remained quiet, fat chance she’ll give up.

“W, wouldn’t it be better if you go just once to talk to her? She’s calling you, too.”

“Over my dead body! If you wanna go, then go out on your own! Don’t ever say a word that I’m here!”

Ehhhh…Isn’t this too hard of a bargain!?

– was what I thought…but if I spilled the beans with ‘Lufure-sama is here’, then what would happen next was already clear as day.

‘She’s gonna misunderstand, for suuuurrreee!!’

This would definitely turn into a bloodbath because of ‘cheating’.

Lufure-sama had already curled up into a ball under the sheets, leaving me to deal with this mess.

Yep yep, this room is tiny, so there’s no other place to hide… but you’re totally exposed, you know.

Besides, dear deity, weren’t you able to go in and out of a room at will?

…So many things I could retort, but for now, I had to stop those violent knocks first.

I left Lufure-sama and timidly crept to the door and opened it.

“Lufure-sama!”

The instant the door opened, the girl’s wide grinning face filled my view.

Just as expected from her voice, she’s one of the saintesses staining in the dorm.

By the way, she’s also one of the brats who threw water on me.

She’s been harassing me every now and then since that, so we had a talk with the priest – never heard she’s the saintess of a high-ranking deity, though.

“Good evening. How may I help you?”

“Huh?”

The girl’s face became thoroughly distorted the moment I went out.

Revulsion was written plain and clear on her face that had been beaming a while ago, and she’s staring daggers at me.

“What’s this, isn’t it the muddy, stinky room?”

“So sorry for that.”

I also scowled when I heard those words.

It’s already been a few days since I started living in the Shrine, so it’s true that I already got used to being called ‘the Incompetent God’s Saintess’, but that didn’t mean I don’t get angry about it.

“Lufure-sama isn’t in this room. Please look elsewhere.”

“Yeah, that’s right. There’s no way he’s in this dirty room. Lufure-sama’s gorgeous light will be clouded if he is.”

The girl snorted, and swept her eyes around my room.

It’s not much different from the other rooms.

Seemed like she didn’t notice the crumpled lump of sheets on the bed since she turned away with contempt.

“Lufure-sama is of a different caliber than your incompetent god. Don’t think I wanted to go near you, Saintess clad in dirt-stained divine aura. I was so careless.”

After spitting those words, the girl turned her back without a single word of apology.

Then she started shouting “Lufure-sama~” again, circling all over the place.

I slammed the door shut, as if running away from that girl. Sighhhh….

‘No wonder Lufure-sama’s avoiding her.’

But, that girl was a saintess, in short, Lufure-sama chose her –

…Shouldn’t say this.

I absolutely shouldn’t say this ––––

“ –––– Lufure-sama’s taste is so..vulgar!!!”

My mouth’s too straightforward. So straightforward that it also screamed that aloud.

No, I’ve been pestered by that girl these few days.

Being splashed with water, hurled with insults, hearing stuff like ‘Yikes, isn’t it stinky as mud here?’ while they pinched their noses when I passed by – I think I’m entitled to a bit of grumbling after all those things.

Even though that grumbling was only done in my heart, so Lufure-sama won’t hear it while he’s curled up on the bed.

“You’re too peculiar for choosing such a person as your Saintess. Aren’t Saintesses supposed to have ‘pure’ hearts?… well, if you stare at her long enough, she’s a tinsy bitsy cute – “

“Not my choice.”

I thought he wouldn’t hear me since I was only speaking to myself, but he retorted, clearly in a foul mood.

I jumped then whirled around, and Lufure-sama was already standing right behind me without me knowing.

He’s smiling – but it didn’t reach his eyes. Too cold.

“I didn’t choose that Saintess. She – she’s just claiming it on her own.”
