Idle Talk 5 -- I can SEE you, I can SEE you...
Ah, I ate too much because it was so delicious, you know. I finished off the other-world guyâs offerings in just three days but I couldnât help myself, Iâm like that.
Come on other-world guy, hurry up and pray to me and make your offerings again. If heâs late again Iâll have to consider sending him an oracle this time regardless.
Itâs all I can think of as I watch the world below in the scrying pool.
Mumu-, at last! The other-world guy is finally praying and making offerings.
"Wind Goddess Ninril-sama, please accept my offering as thanks for your continued protection now and in the future."
[Oh, Iâve been waiting! Iâd have sent you an oracle if youâd been any later.]
What are you saying, other-world guy? Eating sweets will make me fat?
[I- I, I, I wonât get fat, truly. G- Goddesses like me are always beautiful you know.]
Deities like me canât get fat and Iâm always beautiful, thatâs just how I am. Naturally.
What do you mean, "I stutter"?
[B- B- Be quiet, you! Those cakes and puddings were very tasty but weâve not eaten any for the last three days, Iâll have you know.]n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Itâs totally not my fault theyâre all gone. Itâs just the cakes and puddings were so delicious. The other-world guy is thinking "Eating all that in just three days youâre bound to get fat, arenât you?" Heâs being snarky even though Iâve told him Iâm eternally beautiful and not scared of getting fat which totally wonât happen anyway.
[Gumumumu, letâs move on to more important things. What sort of sweet things are you offering me this time?]
Thatâs right, stop distracting me. Sweets, thatâs what I want you to talk about.
Uh, thatâs not a nice thing to think about me, other-world guy.
"[What? Theyâre only sweets, you know! You fool! Sweets arenât that great, huh?]
It seems the other-world guy has figured out I can know what heâs thinking and heâs calling it a violation of his âright to privacyâ.
[Hah, what âright to privacyâ? Iâm a Goddess, you know. Thereâs nothing you can keep secret from a deity like me. I can see what you do, hear what you think in your whole life from beginning to end. You might want to remember that clearly, you know. Anyway, Iâm a Goddess, donât forget it. Iâm all-powerful and thatâs why you should show me some respect, you know.]
Huh, Iâm a Goddess after all, you know. Iâm all-powerful.
Nu-? A- A deplorable Goddess, am I? M- Me?
[Nuuu, I am so totally not deplorable, you know!] This other-world guy is mega-!
"Well, this time I chose some Japanese sweets, that is sweets from the country I came from." he said. " Ninril-sama requested anpan and dorayaki and thereâs a sweet thatâs got a lot of âankoâ, the same filling inside them."
[Whatâd you say? That âankoâ pastry? That subtle sweetness is so delicate, you know.] I started drooling as I remembered the taste of âankoâ.
A certain person is thinking unkind thoughts about a certain Goddess. Again.
"And as you can see, Iâve also prepared an offering of dorayaki." he prayed. Thereâs dorayaki too?
[Ohh, dorayaki. Great job, you.] Time to transfer his offering to the world of the Gods... aaaand done.
[Muho-, thereâs a lot this time. Youâve done well my disciple.]
Lots and lots, oh thereâs so much this time... isnât it great?
[Iâll eat a dorayaki straight away. Mm-mm-mm- muhaha, delicious as ever, hah!]
Itâs been so long since I tasted such sweetness. Itâs delicious, itâs delicious.
This time Iâll be careful and not eat too much. I swear.
But, just a single piece more... yeah, thatâs fine.
âCastellaâ, itâs a square cake, the top and bottom are dark and the thick middle is a yellowish sweet filling.
Just a mouthful then, munch. Mmmm-, itâs fluffy and sweet and soft and its taste is unbearable, you know- Sooo good, munch munch munch. Oh, itâs all gone.
I should really stop eating now, shouldnât I? Yes, I should stop now, donât do what I did last time.
Uuuuh, but can I resist, can I...?
The figure of a woman watches from the shadows as Wind Goddess Ninril-sama wrestles with her conscience and loses to the sweetness arrayed before her.
I wondered why she was being so secretive, the hidden woman thought to herself. She shouldnât be selfish, such delicious food is meant to be shared. She hurried off to immediately inform the other Goddesses.
