He stared unwaveringly at the back of the girl who refused to turn around.
Technically, he wasn’t supposed to see her figure because he didn’t have eyes — that’s precisely why he can see the things invisible to the eye.
That bright, cheerful attitude, light words, and her laughter, as if everything was a joke — the girl hid what she truly felt behind those dry sounds.
‘If I can extend my hand…’
Maybe he could stroke her head.
If he had a body, he could hug that girl.
If he had the attractive appearance of the either deities instead of this ugly figure —
‘Will it be possible for me to make her forget?’
Forget about that fiance, and never make her choose anybody else.
Maybe he could even make her see how attractive she was.
In a way that’s clearer than any word —
“ — pft.”
In his helpless silence —
She — Eleanor sighed, but it sounded like a chuckle.
She finally turned around with that body that had been constantly facing that window. She scratched her head, seemingly embarrassed.
“Ahahaha! Sorry, I vented out too much! I also said a lot! But thanks to that, I feel so refreshed now!”
“…….”
“It’s already so late, so time for me to go home! I’ll continue cleaning up tomorrow! — Well then”
Please excuse me! She blurted out, then she gathered her cleaning tools and dashed past him.
Immediately after she left the room, as if she could no longer hold it in —
He heard it — the sound of sniffling mixed with those rough footsteps resounded inside the room where he was left all alone.
‘Eleanor-san’
Painful silence filled the room as the footsteps faded away.
He tried to move his body in an attempt to chase after her, but his body was so sticky and massive that he could only crawl.
‘So hateful.’
He started to think that way.
Previously, even if he was saddened by the filth that wrapped his body, and he felt pity towards the humans — that was it.
No matter how much interaction they did with people, or how they behaved like them, the deities are essentially different from the humans.
Moreover, “his” existence can be considered the farthest from the humans in this entire world.
That was why, no matter how many people despised him and threw stones at him, he didn’t get angry nor did he feel hatred.
He just felt detached from them, or else he felt compassion— that was how it was supposed to be, and yet.
‘So irritating.’
He felt this way from the bottom of his heart towards the stuff that stuck on him.
These pitiful human emotions, it can’t be helped that they were in the way.
‘So angry.’
He hated this body.
He envied all the other deities.
He was really jealous towards that fiance of hers.
He was angry that she was hurt because of him.
Countless voices swelled up from within him as he crawled this unsightly ground.
Dark, gloomy thoughts started to occupy his mind, coiling and swirling around, this noble person.
These emotions should’ve been kept in check within himself normally.
These (emotions) were evidently the same stuff as the filth that wrapped his entire body.
