āThe purification of filth is just like this. We do not do it all at once, but gradually, steadily until we clear it. We couldnāt let the source as well as the receiver be engulfed in the filth, after all.ā
So thatās how it was.
The receiver could only purify the filth corresponding to the amount of her mana.
This purification process exhausted mana, so it was necessary for her to rest her body and recover, or else she wouldnāt be able to do the next purification.
My mana ā I could only purify the section that my fingertip touched at a time.
I thought I didnāt do anything, but then, I only had a measly (zero) bit of mana.
Even the body was slightly affected with fatigue, so this would be all for today ā thatās what he said.
āā How many years would it take to finish this!?ā
I couldnāt help but feel frustrated with my incompetency.
One finger, once a day. If Iām healthy, that is.
Wouldnāt it be too impossible for me to purify the filth that entirely covered Kami-sama.
āEh, Eleanor-san, donāt lose heart. People have different suitabilities, after allā¦.ā
Kami-sama gently tried to console me with words that poked on my sore spot as I lamented my ability.
Tskā¦! This honest guy!
You didnāt even deny it!
āSo frustrating!ā
I was already aware that I lacked magic, but being told so by someone else really hurted.
āThis is mortifying, so extend yourselfā ā I grabbed Kami-sama and stretched him, and he panicked.
āC, calm down, Eleanor-san!ā
Thatās what he said, but Kami-sama didnāt even attempt to flee.
He just wriggled his body awkwardly, and he answered, as if he had a strained smile on his face.
āThe filth that a deity can store depended on his status. Iām sure that I was just an insignificant deity, so it wonāt take that long. Letās do it slowly.ā
No no no no no! Kami-sama, you didnāt know your own body.
Based on his condition, the filth on his body must have accumulated through the years, possible decades.
I didnāt have any idea about his inner bodyās conditional but if that was also filled to the brim with filth, then ā
āI wonāt be able to finish this while Iām still alive!ā
So thatās why he needed Amalda as his saintess.
What Kami-sama needed the most was Amaldaās humongous amount of mana.
This was vexing, but I needed to think clearly.
If Amalda was here instead of me ā
āEleanor-san.ā
I had been biting my lips unconsciously when Kami-sama gently called out to me.
I had been pinching and stretching his body, but he didnāt even get mad.
He just twisted his body, as if heās embarrassed.
āI am already ecstatic that you offered to purify me. Besides, we might even discover a better method, so letās just continue without worrying?ā
āKami-samaā¦ā
I let out a small sigh at Kami-samaās soft voice.
āTrue.ā
We had just started. It was too early to expect a result.
My spirits were lifted up a bit, when he turned to me ā
āBesides ā we have a more pressing matter than filth.ā
Kami-sama said, his tone darker and heavier compared to when he was talking about filth.
At the same time, he looked around ā well, he had twisted his body as if he was doing that.
I followed his gaze, and we both looked around Kami-samaās room that I finished cleaning.
The dust had been swept, the windows were wiped, and the floor was sparkling. The room was so clean that it was hardly recognisable.
"
"
āYup, yup, heās right.ā
100 out of 100 people would say this room was clean.
Although I was the one who cleaned this, so it might sound a bit weird, but I had never seen this room as clean as it was right now, even if I say so myself.
Thatās because ā
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.. I threw too much stuff away.ā
There was no furniture.
Not to mention the bed and the bookshelf was already gone, there wasnāt even a single chair inside this room.
Kami-sama and I sat on the floor. We looked at each other, then I meekly sighed.
