Vol 3 - Chapter 41

Volume 3 Chapter 41

My mood was really great the next day.

“—Kami-sama! Rejoice!”

I sauntered into Kami-sama’s room in high spirits while holding the tray of food from the cafeteria, as usual.

The sight of Kami-sama basking in the sun by the window had greeted me when I opened the door with a bang.

“Eh, Eleanor-san? What brings you here all of a sudden?”

Kami-sama had been dozing off, relaxed and comfortable when I suddenly barged in, so he cried out in surprise.

He was trembling, embarrassed that he had been caught slacking off, but I couldn’t pay any attention to that right now.

Despite him quivering all over, I still mercilessly closed our distance and thrusted the tray onto him.

“See here, look closely at this!”

“…Oh.”

Kami-sama tilted his neck and stretched his body to peer into the tray.

He didn’t have any eyes nor face, so I wondered how on earth he could see it — oh well, that didn’t matter.

There was something far more important, and that was the food on this tray.

“This meal is still piping hot! It’s cafeteria food, but freshly made!!”

It was not the usual slice of bread and toned-down soup with nothing in it — the usual meal of the “Incompetent God’s Saintess”.

Nor was it the extravagant, scrumptious full course meals that Lidianne shared with us, either.

It was just ordinary, freshly cooked, steaming food that the cafeteria gave to the ordinary saintesses.

“In exchange for all the things they did to me, I made Sofie and Marie share their meals with us as their apology! Ah, not everything, just a few dishes, of course!”

I demanded that they sponsor our meals as their apology for all the pestering they did in the past. I’m taking a small portion of their meals everyday. I made a deal with them so that they would share some food for Kami-sama and me.

I expected them to complain because they would be able to eat less food from here on, but unexpectedly, they pitied me the moment they saw my food tray, but that’s a secret.

“What the heck is that! Are your meals dog food!?”

“There must be something wrong with their head for giving this much, and saying it’s good enough for two! You’ll die at this rate!”

I got an earful from both of them, but they gave me extra food so I couldn’t find it in myself to get mad.

My grudge about food was deep, but at the same time, this gave me great joy

“Liddy shared a lot with us so far, so I’m grateful for that, but yeah, Adoracion-sama’s mansion is far, right. The food would turn cold while I was still carrying them, and we don’t have a kitchen here so I can’t heat it again.”

I couldn’t make multiple trips over there, so naturally, Lidianne would give me enough bread and cheese to last us all day, but that was all.

Of course I was deeply grateful for that, but —

“Yeah, cold meals aren’t as palatable as freshly cooked ones, right. Kami-sama can also enjoy hot food with this!”

“… You mean…me?”

“Yes!”

Kami-sama looked dumbfounded for some reason, so I nodded vigorously.

He had been an abandoned deity, and he didn’t even have a saintess before.

He probably hadn’t tasted a warm meal in ages.

‘But now, he’ll be able to enjoy a proper meal from hereon.’

We have Liddy’s bread. We also have the steaming side dishes sponsored by Marie and Sofie.

It was still a measly meal unfit for a deity, but there would be no end to it if we were too greedy.

If we think about the days we had to divide that watered-down soup between us, then this could be considered a progress; besides, it was food that had been shared to us.

Instead of being unsatisfied and wishing for more,  it’s better to enjoy this meal to the fullest.

‘More than anything else, it’s the first time I served warm food to Kami-sama!’

He was probably glad — just thinking about this made me happy, too.

I couldn’t help but grin broadly as I looked around the room.

“At any rate, we must eat this while it’s still hot! Liddy’s bread must be at the corner of the room —”

I was pretty sure that it was there.

But I didn’t finish what I was saying.

I happily turned my back to Kami-sama, and took a step towards the basket that had Liddy’s bread in it, sitting at the corner of the room, when —

I slipped at that exact moment.

“Ah!”

It was already too late by the time I said that.

My foot was already high in the air, and my body was falling down.

…While still holding the tray in my hands.
