Vol 3 - Chapter 11

Volume 3 Chapter 11

I was so dead tired about all of these, but Lidianne still forcefully dragged me along. I thought an execution awaited me, so I prepared myself, but currently —

“Ahhhhhhhh!!!! This is so delicious!!!!!”

I was in heaven.

As for the place — we were inside the dining hall in Adoracion-sama’s mansion.

A mountain of food stood right before my eyes.

Fresh, juicy salads, hearty soups, a thick slab of steak heaped with a mountain of potatoes; the white bread was soft and fluffy, and you could smear it with all the butter and jam that you wanted.

The taste was heavenly. Its league was way above the food I ate back when I was still in our mansion.

Ordinary nobles could only imagine and it was also super rare for royalty to taste such exquisite, lavish food, so it couldn’t be helped that my hand couldn’t stop shoving food to my mouth.

‘I don’t care anymore if I look like a pig! It’s definitely better than starving to death!’

“Just tell me if you want more! Don’t be too reserved, it doesn’t suit you, okay! It’ll be troubling if you spread rumors that you didn’t get a chance to eat just because you saved me!”

I was thoroughly engrossed in the food. Lidianne had a harsh expression on her face as she reminded me, but she also handed me a glass of lemonade.

“Still, don’t get too carried away and eat too much, alright. We still have dessert!”

Hurray!!!! Perfeccione !!!

Speaking of perfect, before I entered the dining hall, Lidianne told me that ‘Don’t go inside the mansion in your dirty state!” so she made me took a bath inside the mansion, then ‘Those sordid clothes don’t suit this place!” so she also provided me with a change of clothes.

We didn’t have a bath at the lodging house, so I had been wiping myself. The bath felt so heavenly that I felt like I came back from the dead.

Even the ribbon I was wearing had been confiscated, and I was told that ‘I won’t wear that anymore, so you can have it”, so I ended up receiving these clothes.

I felt really mortified for having received so much, and I felt really obliged — but these feelings were transient.

Reserve, restrain, humility and whatnot, everything was blasted away in the face of food.

***

“As expected of Adoracion-sama’s mansion huh. Everything is in here….!”

Our extravagant, luxurious meal had ended, and I also finished drinking the slightly sour lemonade.

I felt really satisfied, so I heaved a sigh — half of it was from fulfillment, half from envy.

‘We only have hard bread and thin soup, and we don’t even have a single piece of furniture! So unfair! I’m so envious!’

"

"

We were both saintesses, but what’s up with this difference?

Fully furnished dining hall, comfortable chairs, and lamps that shone brightly, illuminating the whole place.

Adoracion-sama’s mansion was magnificent, still, I couldn’t help but think about Kami-sama.

‘Kami-sama, what is he doing now?’

I was enjoying myself to the fullest, and gorging on such delicious food, and yet, he was all alone in that empty room.

What was he thinking right now? Was he hungry?

“…….I also want to give some to Kami-sama.”

“Good.”

I softly mumbled, but those words came in a flash.

I looked up in surprise, and Lidianne was holding a tea set with black tea right beside me.

“We won’t be able to finish all of this anyway. The Shrine will still give them to me even if I object, so I’m actually worried about dealing with the food.”

Lidianne poured some tea for herself as she spoke.

Her words, expression and attitude was harsh, but her gestures and bearing were really elegant, and it was evident that she was very used to this.

“Just take all you want, be it bread or soup or anything. I’m also forcing them on the children, after all. If I can force more people to get this, then it’ll also save me the trouble.”

I stared wordlessly as Lidianne continued spilling such nasty words.

The faint aroma of black tea spread lightly throughout the hall.

‘Hmm.’

Now that I thought about it, Lidianne had been the only one serving me even though it was such a huge mansion.

She didn’t order the servants around, unlike the other saintesses.

‘Well, I did envy her mansion and her food, though.’

Hmm, maybe it wasn’t Lidianne’s real thoughts.

She couldn’t refuse because of Adoracion-sama’s status, but she couldn’t bring herself to throw the food away, either.

So that’s why she shared them to those impoverished kids — that was what I believe.

Besides, they said “Thanks for today, too” so it wasn’t on a whim, but she had been doing this for a long time already.

"

"

‘She’s not honest, huh.’

“—What!”

I didn’t say anything, though.

“What’s with your expression, do you want to say something!? Spit it out!”

Eh, what kind of expression did I make, huh?

I tried patting my cheeks, and that’s when I discovered that I was grinning.

I hastily tried to stiffen my face, but it didn’t work.

‘Well, it’s fine.’

I gave up, and I looked at her with a smile on my face.

“If you’re going to give them to me, then I’ll be grateful. Thanks a lot… Lidianne.”

Dishonest Lidianne scowled when I said that but —

Her cheeks were faintly tinged with red.

“N…! No need for thanks! I’m just forcing the things I don’t need on you! B, besides, even if I said “You can bring all you want” you still have to leave some for the guests!”

No way, even if I was shameless, I wouldn’t bring everything with me.

But — I was drawn to a single word she said.

“…..Guests?”

A guest in the mansion of a deity, and Adoracion-sama, the second greatest deity of all, nonetheless?

Of course, visitors would also drop by in the deities’ mansion.

There were also priests and devouts who would pray right in front of the entrance.

However, that was during the day time, when the gates of the Shrine were open.

A person who would come at night and would even eat here — it wasn’t an ordinary human, for sure.

‘Who in the world….?’

I was perplexed, when suddenly —

“Lidi! I’m hungry!! Gimme some food!’

The doors of the dining hall suddenly burst open, and a cheeky voice resounded.

It was unimaginable for Adoracion-sama to speak that rudely — recalling about it was thoroughly against my will, but it was a very familiar voice.

I had a bad feeling about this as I whirled around —

“Oh, somebody came? How rare — what the”

A person I didn’t want to see aside from Amalda came.

He had shining, golden hair and a shrewd, beautiful face.

And an expression formed with triple treats— impertinent, rude, irritating— that ruined that beauty.

My eyes widened unwittingly, and he also gulped his breath.

There was a brief moment of silence, before we both screamed on the top of our lungs.

“You’re that violent Saintess last time!! What on earth are you doing here!!”

“Why are you here!! Lufure-sama!”
