“W-w-w-w-what are you saying so suddenly!? B-body….W-what do you mean by that….!”
Lidianne shrieked, totally forgetting that we were still inside the dining hall.
She was biting her lips in an attempt to control her feelings, but she couldn’t keep her face from turning red as a tomato.
That’s when I realized that my tongue slipped as I looked at Lidianne’s shocked expression.
I hastily shook my head and pressed my mouth.
“T-that’s not it! I-I don’t mean anything weird!”
It was obviously clear how Lidianne misunderstood my words, and that’s why she turned crimson.
The saintesses in this Shrine were wedded to the deities here.
There were also men who married deities from time to time, but let’s leave that for now.
‘Have you seen your deity’s body’ would definitely bring a certain deed to their mind.
‘But I never wanted to ask anything about that!’
I was just genuinely interested — wait, if I explained it that way, then that would only fan the flames.
“N-no, there’s no deeper meaning in it. No, simply put, I’m just interested in what’s underneath Adoracion-sama’s clothes! I was just wondering whether you’ve seen him remove his clothes!”
“See, that’s so weird!”
‘Ugh, she’s right, it did sound like I was a pervert!’
I didn’t manage to refute Lidianne’s word and my cheeks burned now.
Lidianne turned redder by the minute, and tears were starting to well in her eyes because of mortification.
That’s because…Underneath his clothes, I said.
That’s because…Remove his clothes, I said.
‘Don’t I sound like some shameless hussy!?’
Well, it wasn’t ‘sound like’, it was already like that, given the situation.
…A perverted woman telling another saintess to tell me about the other deity’s — her husband’s nudity.
“I-it’s just a misunderstanding, really, I swear!”
I desperately tried to deny it with as heat creeped to my cheeks.
Even if I was like this, I was also a pure maiden of marriageable age.
Having a deep interest in the body of a male — I couldn’t stand being labelled as such!
“It’s fine even if it’s not Adoracion-sama!! Any other deity will do!”
“You’re just aggravating the situation!”
‘Ugh, she’s right!’
It’s over. I was already seen as a perverted girl.
I never wanted that to happen, but I no longer knew what to say to refute it. I don’t even have any excuses anymore.
I could only groan loudly and unintelligibly as I clutch my head.
It was already sunset, bordering nightfall.
Lidianne and I were the only ones flustered in this deserted dining hall.
I felt sorry for her, being suddenly interrogated about the bare body of her deity, but more than that, I was embarrassed to death.
Nobody was there to help us calm down as things were starting to get out of hand, when —
“Hey, look at them.”
A voice dripping with scorn rang out inside the empty dining hall.
That bell-like nasal voice — even if I wanted to forget it, it was already very familiar to me.
“The shameless people were talking about shameless things. You heard them too, right?”
“Yes, that’s right, Rozalie. I didn’t want to hear anything about that, but there’s no choice but to do such things.”
“Even though she’s one of the noblest aristocrats, she’s so ill-bred.”
I swallowed back my groans when I heard them giggling.
I wiped the sweat on my face brought about by embarrassment, and turned around with a sense of foreboding — yep, I was right.
Rozalie, Lufure-sama’s saintess, and her cronies were snickering mockingly as they stared at us.
“Yikes, they’re looking over here!”
“So scary~”
Rozalie’s minions pretended to be frightened, but she ignored them and wordlessly stared at us.
She trained her ice cold gaze towards Lidianne, then she turned to me, before staring at Lidianne once again. She snorted.
“Goodness me, look at that, two fake Saintesses, so perfect for each other. It seems like you’re having a great time but sorry to burst your bubble — really now, did you think Adoracion-sama will take a substitute seriously?”
