Even if they were just a few of them, there were people in this world who poured their love into other creatures aside from humans.
In this context, the word “love” did not simply refer to adoration or admiration, of course.
That “love” was the love between a man and a woman, meaning to say, it was the love felt by couples and husband and wife.
The object of this love was not limited to dogs, cats — or any other animal, for that matter.
It could also encompass non-living things, such as statues and paintings, and some even loved the evil monsters born from filth…apparently.
Jelly-like creatures like Kami-sama also existed among those monsters.
They were popular among dilettantes, they said.
I also saw 'spring books” about those kind of love lined up in a dubious book shop once —
‘But I don’t have that kind of weird fetish!’
My preferences are normal. I liked human males, preferably close to my age, and it would be nice if he was also handsome.
Someone who was kind and calm would be great, but cowards like Father are absolutely a no.
He must be firm in times when he need to stand his ground, and I wanted a partner who would look at me properly.
‘Kami-sama’s personality was….No, no! I’m thinking about it again!! Argh!’
A few days had already passed since that time, but here I was, clutching my head as I groaned.
I was on my way back to the lodging house from Kami-sama’s room today, too.
Currently in the dining hall, but I didn’t come here to get my meal portion.
The food I got from Lidianne was already gone, so I came here to get more from her…er, I mean, I came here to meet her to split her food.
She was already handing out food to the poor children first at the back of the dining hall.
I was waiting for her inside the hall. I didn’t go with her since there’s nothing I could give them, anyway.
Maybe the reason why these unnecessary thoughts kept on popping up was because I was bored doing nothing while waiting.
‘In the first place…yeah, how about the other deities? If we’re talking about whether they are human or not, then… aren’t there deities like my Kami-sama, who aren’t in their human forms?’
Maybe Kami-sama wasn’t the only jelly-like deity — is that even possible?
Well, we’re talking about deities after all, so even if their appearance was human, their original form might be different.
In that case, maybe I was the weird one for being so bothered about his appearance…?
“Eleanor. What are you so bothered about, enough for you to make that complicated expression?”
I was sitting in a corner of the dining hall, deep in thought, when a voice called out to me from beside me.
There was no need for me to turn around just to know who she was, that haughty tone was already a giveaway.
“Is it because I made you wait for too long? You’re such a carefree person, so it’s unusual for you to make a long face.”
“…Lidianne.”
She was mocking me while worrying deep inside, while I heaved a sigh.
Lidianne knit her brows when the retort she was expecting didn’t come, and I remained silent.
“You’re really acting weird right now, you know? What happened —”
“Hey, Lidianne.”
I ignored her worries, still stuck in my thoughts.
‘Will the other saintesses probably know about the other deities’ form? If their real appearance is jelly-like, then they probably won’t show that to other people. But maybe it’s different for the Saintesses that they are the most intimate with…’
I was the worst for thinking like this.
“…Have you ever seen Adoracion-sama’s body?”
I stared blankly at the sunset as I mumbled those words.
Lidianne was thoroughly mortified as she sputtered beside me.
