Adoracion-sama muttered in his usual detached tone.
Low, rigid and austere, but….
‘It’s as if he’s disappointed…?’
I was a bit baffled when I heard that tinge of regret in his voice.
He was as intimidating as ever, but his aura seemed just a teeny tiny bit softer than usual.
Particularly those eyes that gaze at Lidianne… they were tender, so you can just imagine my shock since it’s coming from this icy deity.
‘……So he can look like that too, huh.’
I was dumbfounded because of this unexpected side of him, when he abruptly turned his face to me.
He didn’t bat an eye even if I let out an embarrassing tiny scream.
It seems like that gentle gaze was reserved for Lidianne, since he was looking like his old strict self when he looked at me.

“Then, what are you doing here?”
“Ah, ahm, that is…”
He didn’t probably mean to reproach or criticize me.
Still, I couldn’t help but stiffen under that icy glare.
And so, I tried to explain the details of why I am here —
“Just behind the dining hall, Lidianne and the other saintesses —mmfff!?”
“— met with each other, and we felt hungry so I just took her with me!!”
Lidianne covered my mouth.
I tried to speak, but what came out was an unintelligible muffled sound, and she scowled at me as she yanked me towards her.
“Don’t say a word!”
She hissed in my ear in a stifled voice, then she loudly declared that without giving me a chance to say my piece.
“Don’t tell such unnecessary things to Adoracion-sama!”
“Mmfff!… U-unnecessary things!?”
I managed to break free, and I raised a brow at her.
Maybe it was because I got caught in her mood, but my voice was also steadily becoming smaller as I whispered back, so it looked like we’re having some kind of secret conversation.
“Isn’t it better to just tell everything to Adoracion-sama about the fact that those other saintesses are bullying you?”
“There’s no need for that!! I can somehow settle this on my own!”
“Even if you say ‘somehow’…..”
Honestly, I didn’t think she could handle it.
Lidianne and Amalda’s face-off floated to my mind, and the wrinkle between my brows deepened.
There was no way she could’ve survived that ordeal, no matter how I thought about it.
“Adoracion-sama is very busy! He doesn’t have the time to deal with such a trivial thing!”
Lidianne stubbornly shook her head when I threw a dubious look at her.
Her firm determination and resolute stare suppressed me and made me swallow the words I was about to say.

“I will clean up after myself. There’s no need to bother anyone else.”
She trained her eyes on me as she continued on.
This excellent bluffing low voice was shaking very, very slightly.
“I don’t want to cause him trouble because of me…!”
It was so unlike the strong Lidianne from earlier.
She declared in her trembling voice, then she fiercely bit her lips, as if she’s trying to endure something.
