Volume 3 – Chapter 16
The next day…
I made my way to Kami-sama’s room while hugging the basket of food, my mind swirling in chaos. And now, Kami-sama and I were eating the bread Lidianne gave me, but my thoughts were still endlessly bothered.
‘ Do you like him? He said. He said I liked him.’
Lufure-sama’s words floated to my mind.
I tried concentrating on eating my bread, but my hand stopped every now and then while shredding it into a million pieces before I knew it.
‘Still….there’s no way that’d be true.’
I threw a glance at Kami-sama sitting beside me, but he still looked the same.
He was peering into the basket, then he shyly took a piece of bread.
Of course, he didn’t have something like a human hand to grab it, though — it was just a black and sticky something.
There was no change in his mud-like body, and it was still as stretchy as ever. He was not a human, no matter how you looked at him.
‘Impossible! He doesn’t even have a face or body, see!?’
My hand that had been shredding the bread had stretched out towards Kami-sama before I noticed it.
I pinched his side, and he shivered in shock.
Afterward, I continued to poke him absentmindedly, as if trying to confirm that he was really not a human.
‘Well, I also think that he’s an awesome, kind deity. He comforted me, so I was glad….But, this and that are totally different!’
“A, ahm….?”
‘As I thought, a human like me is still the best…No, a Saintess is the deity’s wife, right. Still! The other deities all have human forms, don’t they!’
However, Kami-sama was just like this.
He was just a smooth, glossy lump of something.
Well, his skin felt like a human’s though — it was smooth and plump — but it was still different from a human.
‘Besides, I haven’t given up on my wedding! If I said that I like him, then I’ll be the same as Eric, right? He has a fiancee, and yet he fell in love with another girl!’
But the engagement was already broken now!
… In that case, then technically, I don’t have a fiance now, so it’s not cheating?
No no, he didn’t have a hand to hold, let alone a face to kiss.
I didn’t even know how he managed to eat that bread without a hand and mouth.
But, what if Kami-sama had a human appearance….?
‘No, no, no, no! He doesn’t have that! Impossible!’
“Ahm……. Eleanor-san?”
“Hyowah!”
Kami-sama suddenly called out, so I shrieked, and a weird sound came out of my mouth.
I really thought my heart stopped.
“K-Kami-sama, w-what is it?”
I patted my chest as I tried to press down my agitation. Kami-sama glanced at me, and he seemed to shudder apologetically.
“Sorry for bothering you when you’re in the middle of contemplation, but…I’m a bit worried about something.”
“W-worried?”
Eh, was I making an expression that was enough to worry him?
Rather than that, what kind of face did I have right now?
I unconsciously patted my cheeks, while Kami-sama stretched a little, as if he was trying to sit more properly.
“…Yes. I sensed it as soon as you entered the room.”
Kami-sama’s tone was very serious, contrary to my restlessness.
He swayed, and it felt like he was training his gaze on me.
“Eleanor-san, there’s a faint hint of filth from you.”
