Chapter 138.8 – Wall x Wall
“Who is it?!”
That was my first reaction.
There was a stranger standing in my room at the luxury inn, which I had locked.
Of course, I was surprised, and a second later, I thought, “Could it be?” but it was only natural to ask who it was.
“Late… you’re late, Loki. I’m getting tired of waiting.”
“Ah… is it you, Rigal-sama?”
“Who else could it be?”
No, just by looking at her, she’s completely different.
I desperately stop myself from saying it out loud.
Rigal-sama, who keeps looking out the window, is not wearing the armor that she was so stubborn about.
She is wearing what looks like a white dress, just like the other goddesses.
The length of her dress, which came to just below her knees, was about the same as Feeril’s, and her elegant, pure back made her look like a young lady from another world.
Her ankles, slimmer than I had imagined, were strangely sexy.
“Oh… you’ve taken off your armor! You should be able to explore the city now.”
“Yes, I’ve made up my mind.”
“I see. By the way, is there anything outside?”
“There is nothing outside, but I thought it would be a good opportunity to see the lower world.”
“I see. Well, I’m going to take a bath right now, if you don’t mind. Sorry to leave so soon.”
“I understand.”
“(I was a little worried about her this morning, but it’s good that at least she was able to take off her armor. I think we can proceed with tomorrow’s plans as planned.)”
While I was thinking this, I filled the bathtub, washed myself, and wiped down my equipment. After taking a quick bath, I quickly returned to my room. When I entered, the scene was exactly the same.
It seems that Rigal-sama is very interested in the scenery outside.
Is there a church in that direction with a statue of Rigal-sama?
I don’t think the church is open right now.
“Rigal-sama? Is there anything interesting outside?”
“No, there isn’t.”
“?”
Tilting my head, I thought there must be something I wouldn’t understand as a mere boy, and I sat down on a chair, still worrying about the futon.
Even though I felt sleepy, I knew I had to be on my best behavior with Rigal-sama.
If I had a conversation while lying on the futon, I’m sure she would be angry.
“So, was it a report that you were able to take off your armor today?”
“That’s right. So I’ll be eating the people’s food while I search for transmigrators in this city. And tomorrow will be as planned.”
“I understand. But please forgive me for today’s meal because the shops are already closed.”
“That’s okay. I’m the one who said not to worry about it.”
“Then tomorrow… but first, why don’t you sit down?”
“No… I’m fine like this.”
“I see… Well, I didn’t get enough sleep today, so I’m not sure if I’ll be able to stay awake, so how about tomorrow morning at 7 o’clock? Then we can have breakfast together. If I’m asleep, you can wake me up if you want.”
“Understood.”
“And since meeting here is not a good idea, we should probably go out of the city for a while. Let’s go somewhere where we won’t be seen and go over what we need to check.”
“Umu.”
“Well, I’m going to bed now. Is everything okay from now on?”
“…Umu.”
“(What was that about?)”
There’s definitely something going on.
And I can tell it’s something that’s hard to say.
There’s no sign that she wants to get rid of the split body anytime soon… Really.
While I think that Rigal-sama is really being childish, I try to guide her.
“Rigal-sama, is there something you want to say?”
“…..”
“Is there something outside that you’ve been watching since earlier that’s causing you to act like this?”
As I said this, I got up to go to the window…
“This has nothing to do with you! So don’t come over! Don’t come near!”
Rigal-sama, with her back to me, desperately extended her palm to stop me.
As usual, her voice is really loud, isn’t it?
If I leave it like this, it’ll be a nuisance to the people around us, so I touch the part I think is the right one.
“Rigal-sama, is it because you don’t want me to see you dressed like that?”
“(Ugh!!)”
Her shoulders twitched.
I’ve got bingo here.
“Or, to be more precise, you don’t want anyone to see you dressed like that, do you? You didn’t want to go around town in that outfit, did you?”
“H-how do you know that…”
“You haven’t turned around for a while, and I can guess why. But if you can’t even show it to me, then all the effort you put into removing your armor was for nothing, right?”
“Kuh… I know… I know… Loki, are you absolutely sure you’re not laughing?”
“Of course not. I don’t think there’s anything to laugh about.”
If taking off the armor changed her face, I might laugh, but that’s not going to happen.
So, which pattern is it?
Thinking that there were probably two possibilities, I continued to call out to her, “I want you to relax.”
If she doesn’t turn around soon, I won’t be able to sleep.
I got up early this morning, so I’m really tired.
So, did my feelings get through to her?
Rigal-sama seemed to have finally made up her mind.
“Phew~…hah~…then, here we go. If you laugh, I won’t forgive you…”
She turned to look at me,
“Hmm? You look like a normal, elegant young lady, don’t you?”
“R-really?!”
Until now, I’ve only seen her in armor, so the difference in impression is certainly great.
But it’s a good thing, and the white dress even gives me a cute impression.
And then…
“(Is this the pattern? Is it a racial characteristic?)”
I sigh with relief that my prediction has come true.
Rigal-sama is desperately hiding a part of herself with both hands.
I can feel her determination not to show it, and it’s a little frightening.
Nevertheless, I touch the heart of the matter with the sole intention of going to bed early.
“Rigal-sama, those hands. If you keep hiding them like that, it’s going to be weird even when you go out in the city, isn’t it?”
“W-why did you have to bring that up?”
“Shhh, it’s late at night; most people are asleep, so please be quiet.”
“I’m sorry, but just this… just this one thing…”
“(Oh man, this is really annoying…)”
That was all I could say.
I had no idea that Rigal-sama had such a troublesome personality.
If we continued to talk like this, there was no way I could fall asleep, so I stood up and took a hard line.
“W-what is it? Why are you coming closer?”
“Just be quiet. I already know what you’re worried about.”
“Hyaa!”
“Hmm, your stomach is flat. It’s moderately firm, and your waist is quite thin… I think it’s wonderful.”
“Eh?”
“Your arms and legs are also slender, and most importantly, they’re very long. When you’re thin, you don’t have to worry about your chest, right? There are a lot of people like that, and sometimes that thin physique is attractive.”
“What? Fe-Feeril said that having a small chest is something to be ashamed of!”
“There is a tendency to judge women by the size of their breasts, so I wouldn’t say that’s a lie. But what’s important is the overall balance, right? In that regard, Rigal-sama is slim all over, so you don’t look strange, and I think there are many men who like this delicate, model-like figure.”
“R-really…?!”
“It’s true. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. So please lower your hand with confidence. Otherwise, you won’t be able to walk around the city.”
“I understand.”
It was long. Really long.
As the tiredness, which was not just because it was late at night, set in, I looked at Rigal-sama, who was lowering her hand with trepidation.
“(Hmm. That expression is perfect…)”
Thinking back, I didn’t notice it at all in the armor yesterday.
The chest part seems to have been shaped to bulge out, so the armor probably acted as a corrective chest pad.
I can’t help but laugh bitterly at the thought of a goddess worrying about such a common problem.
“Yes, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it. You look really beautiful, and that outfit suits you too. I think the chances of being discovered have decreased considerably.”
“You don’t really mean what everyone says… beautiful? Does this outfit suit me? Me?”
“It’s true. If you like, why don’t we sleep together? I’d love to, Rigal-sama.”
“You idiot! How shameless… I’m leaving now!”
These are the words I could say because I knew I would be rejected.
If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have been able to say those things.
I think to myself as I look at Rigal-sama, who is shrouded in mist in a hurry.
I’m glad that Rigal-sama came after Riste.
After that talk about sharing, I became close to Riste.
I was very aware of the next goddess to descend, Rigal-sama.
I thought that maybe I would end up in the same situation as Riste.
However, when I opened my eyes, unlike the other goddesses, I was not told to use honorifics, so I found myself able to talk to her while maintaining a certain distance.
When I watched the scene of her eating, I put her into the role of a senior who is difficult to deal with, and the awareness that she is a woman disappeared somewhere.
That’s why I can joke with her.
And this mental state is very comfortable for me.
Even if I’m told that I’m being shared, I still don’t feel it, and if something happened, I’d feel a little like I’m betraying my beloved Riste.
So this is good for now.
This way, I can concentrate on hunting and keep my mind at peace.
“(Hah… I wonder if I’ll be able to wake up properly tomorrow. If I fall asleep again, I guess I’ll have to have Rigal-sama wake me up…)”
While muttering to myself like that, I collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep.
