I was still fuming after thinking about Lidianne, but Marie was as annoyed as ever when she called out to me.
āI just remembered this because weāre talking about Lidianne, but didnāt you just receive some furniture from that girl?ā
āā¦I did get themā¦ā
Faced with Marieās inquisitive expression, I mumbled quietly.
I couldnāt help but put up my guard since I could sense a sermon coming my way.
It was actually shameless of me for being irritated after my meals had been taken care of, and she even sent some furniture to me.
She did a lot of things for you, so do you even have the right to get mad at Lidianne ā
Was what I thought, but Marieās next words were beyond my imagination.
āSo, why are you still not living with Kami-sama?ā
āā¦Huh?ā
āYouāre still staying at the lodging house, right? My partner is the Incompetent God, and I donāt wanna stay with him ā Iāll understand if youāre gonna say that, but you, thatās not the case with you, right?ā
Marie said while pointing her teaspoon towards me.
Her brows were furrowed, and sheās gazing at me with eyes that were sharper than usual, so I couldnāt help but brace myself.
I was like that, but Marie mercilessly continued on.
āIf the deity so permits, then it should be the saintess who will live with him, no? If youāre living with him, then you might discover whether his appearance changes or not. And yet, why arenāt you staying over there?ā
āW-whyā¦ā
She relentlessly said those things in her piercing voice, but I could only hem and haw in reply.
I averted my eyes as if running away, and ended up meeting the eyes of Sofie who was sitting beside Marie.
Sofie was the calm type if I must say ā but right now, thereās pressure in that stare of hers.
Faced with Sofieās intent gaze and Marieās sharp stare, I could only grit my teeth.
Thereās no place to run.
āUghā¦ā
I inwardly groaned because of the uncomfortable atmosphere.
As I thought, I shouldāve just consulted Lidianne instead ā but it was too late for that.
I was overwhelmed by the mood that I couldnāt escape from, so I stuttered.
āT-Thatās becauseā¦ā
I clenched both hands, dropped my gaze and frowned.
Itās not like I have a guilty conscience, but my tongue felt really heavy.
āā¦.Thereās only one bed in that room, you know.ā
I managed to let out some words in a hoarse voice.
My cheeks were burning now.
This bashfulness didnāt suit me, I knew, but all the same, I still couldnāt lift my head up.
I was sweating strangely in the midst of this embarrassment.
āWe couldnāt put two beds in there. Plus, the bed is smallā¦ā
āSo what.ā
Marie didnāt seem to understand what I was pointing out.
She looked at me glumly, so my voice couldnāt help but get smaller and smaller.
āI-If thatās the case, thenā¦ wonāt we have to sleep together? Kami-sama is so kind, so he wonāt let me sleep on the sofaā¦ā
Kami-sama has that body, so will he even use the bed? ā was what I thought at first, but for some reason, there is evidence that he does use it.
There were traces on top of the bed, the pillow was dented ā it was like he uses it just like how humans did.
In that case, there was no way I could chase Kami-sama out of the bed.
And so, two people would have to sleep on the bed ā and it was too narrow for that.
I could easily imagine how I might inadvertently touch Kami-samaās body no matter how much I try to keep my distance.
Kami-sama and I, on top of the same bed.
Even if we did nothing, our bodies would stick togetherā¦. And it was a bit ā
āI-Itās embarrassing. T-thatās because itās only natural to get conscious, rightā¦?ā
No matter how jiggly Kami-sama was, I couldnāt help but think of him as the opposite gender.
If that happenedā¦well, Iām also a maiden of marriageable age.
Repeatedly poking Kami-sama with my finger was incomparable to lying side by side on top of the bed.
There was no way my mind wouldnāt run.
āI canāt do that! Iām already so conscious of him as it isā¦! N-no! I donāt do that, Iām not conscious of him!ā
I didnāt, but the heat was spreading from my cheeks to the tips of my ears.
I had been gripping my skirt without realizing it and I couldnāt calm down.
With that, I peeked at Marie and Sofie ā
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..Huh?ā
Cold, freezing stares entered my view.
Contrary to my face that was heating up, frost seemed to condense on top of their faces.
The two of them heaved a heavy sigh with that expression plastered on their face.
Afterward ā they bellowed, the sound echoing in the entire dining hall.
āConscious!? What are you spouting, you extravagant bastard!!!ā
āāāāā
