Kami-sama had caved in to laughter, and he called me in a loud voice, something that he never did before.
His body was shaking and quivering, and his entire self was jiggling a lot.
That’s a lot of trembling that it’s making me embarrassed.
‘Did I… say something terrible…?’
“W, what happened, why did you ask that so suddenly!?”
“I just heard it from another deity… Don’t tell me, was it a lie!?”
At any rate, it was Lufure-sama, ranked third among the deities, who said that.
No matter how bad-mouthed and rude that guy was, enough that you’d want to kick him, his words still carried some weight.
I thought it’d be impossible for him to spout lies, but….
“Who told you that! That’s totally wrong! It’s a huge misunderstanding!!”
‘That deity!’
My face turned crimson in rage and embarrassment, and I gripped the rag real tight.
‘I’m gonna turn that deity in a rug after I’m done with Eric!!!!’
….I was filled with blasphemous thoughts as I stood here frozen, but Kami-sama didn’t seem to notice. He was still jiggling as he continued on.
“I, indeed, there are deities who do that in order to dispel the filth. B, but, it’s not an absolute requirement —”
He would probably be beet red right now if he got a face. His usually calm voice was slightly shrill, and he seemed unable to calm down.
“We deities prevent calamities and monster births from occurring because we take the filth unto ourselves, but we cannot totally erase i’s existence. In order to counteract the filth, we need the magic that humans possess….. Er, we do need skin to skin contact in order for that to happen, though.”
Kami-sama’s voice gradually became quieter, and he twisted his body, as if averting his eyes.
He really seemed embarrassed now, so even I felt awkward watching him.
“Well, the larger the surface area, the more effective it is… They are also able to deepen their relationship while their bare bodies are joined together….S, still! It doesn’t have to be like that, it’s perfectly fine to just hold hands….!”
“… just hold hands?”
“Yes! It’s more effective if the bare bodies touch, but that would also require more magic from the part of the Saintess….Please excuse me, but in Eleanor-san’s case, a light touch is enough.”
‘What.’
I couldn’t help but grumble when I heard Kami-sama’s anxious words.
‘So I just had to hold his hand…’
But Kami-sama didn’t have a hand, though.
It’s kinda like an anticlimax.
I was about to sigh, half of it from relief —
‘No, no, no, no, no, what’s with that ‘half of it was from relief!!??’
I gulped my breath.
“No! No, no! Impossible!!”
I unwittingly mumbled as I slapped my cheeks.
The slaps resounded, so Kami-sama raised his head — well, he did something like that.
“What happened?”
“Nothing! It’s nothing!!”
I unconsciously raised my voice, but I couldn’t retract that now.
I maintained that energy, and continued on, trying to bluff my wait out.
“Okay! This conversation is over! It’s over! Alright, I’m going to continue cleaning, so please go to the corner, Kami-sama!!!”
Sunlight had finally entered Kami-sama’s room, which was at the edge of the shrine.
I raised my voice cheerfully, and chased Kami-sama away, as usual.
