Gossip: I saw~ I saw~!

Hahh, even though it’s so good, I still ate too much.

Eating all the sweets that otherworlder offered in just three days was the biggest failure of my life.

That damn otherworlder, why won’t he hurry and offer me more? If he’s this late I’m going to have to consider sending down an oracle.

That’s all I thought about every time I looked down at the world below.

Mmmh, finally. It seemed like the otherworlder is finally going to offer me his prayer and tribute once again.

“Oh great Goddess of the Wind, Ninrir, please accept these humble offerings of mine. I am grateful for the divine blessing you have bestowed unto me. Please continue to watch over me in the future.”

“Oohh, I have been waiting! If you were any later, I was thinking of sending an oracle to warn you.”

...W-What? You damn otherworlder, what do you mean I’ll “get fat if all I eat is sweets?” “A-A god such as I would never get fat! I-I am forever beautiful!”

That’s right. There’s no way a g-god could get fat. Of course I am f-f-forever beautiful.

O-Of course.

“What are you stuttering for,” huh? “Sh... Sh-Sh-Sh-Shut up. It’s not like I ended up finishing those sweets in three days because they were too delicious!”

That was not my fault. The “cakes” and “puddings” were just too delicious.

Damned otherworlder... “You’ve been saying that there’s no way you’ll get fat, or that you’re beautiful, but there’s no way I can trust you on that,” you say? And, “eating all that food in three days will definitely make you fat,” is it?

“Grrrr, this topic is over. More importantly! What are you offering this time?”

That’s right. The most important thing right now was what kind of sweets he was giving me now.

...Mmrrrr, that stupid otherworlder, saying something so unnecessary......

“What did you say?! “Just” sweets?! YOU FOOL! Sweetness reigns supreme!”

Sweets are all that is holy, this is unchangeable fact.

It looked like that otherworlder had caught on to the fact that I was reading his thoughts. Reading thoughts is “an invasion of privacy,” huh?

“Hmph, what “invasion of privacy”? I am a god. There is no such thing as privacy in the face of a god. If I wanted, I could view your life from beginning to end, even understanding your thoughts is as easy as picking something up off the ground. I am a god, after all. Am I not great? You should worship me.”

Heheh, I’m a god, after all. I’m great, you know?

...Huh? D-Disappointing goddess? Me?!

“Grnnnnnngghh, I am not disappointing!” That damn otherworlder———!!

“Uhhh, I’m offering Japanese sweets this time. Sweets originating from my home country. Just as you have requested, I’m offering lots of confections with the black and sweet anko like red bean buns and dorayaki.”

What?! N-No way, did he say, sweets with lots of “anko” in them?! Perfect, “anko” is delectable!

“What?! Sweets with that “anko”?! I can’t resist that tender sweetness that isn’t too heavy.”

When I remembered that “anko,” my drool...!! No, no, this won’t do! Least of all for the Goddess of the Wind!

“Just as you can see, I have also once again prepared dorayaki.”

What, there’s also dorayaki?! He’s done well! Now then, let’s quickly bring those to the divine realm—!

“Mmhooo! There’s a lot this time as well. You’ve done a fine job!” Oh my, there’s a lot this time as well...... This is great, just great!

“I’m going to eat the dorayaki right now. *Mgmg*... Mmhaaa—! This dorayaki is just as delicious as I remember!”

My first sweets in a while. So good, so delicious!

I had to be careful not to eat too much this time. I’d learned from my mistakes. But, just one more......

Yeah, this one. It was a square confection with a black top and bottom, but a pale yellow middle, called a “castella” or something. Let’s see... First, a bite...

*Mmnom*

Mmhaaa—! I can’t resist this tender fluffy mellow sweetness! This is good! So good!

*Mnomnomnomnom*

Ah! There’s no more.

I haven’t had enough. Just a little...... Wait, no! I can’t! This will just be a repeat of the last time at this rate. Ooooh... I-I need to persevere. Just hold it in———!

I saw~ I saw~! That girl, I thought she’d been sneaking around a lot lately. So, this is what she’d been up to!

Eating delicious things by yourself, that’s no fair~!

Let’s quickly go tell the other goddesses—!
