Gossip: Goddesses, Filled with Greed

The divine realm, Goddess of Wind Ninrir’s palace.

Here, the goddesses gathered.

The master of this palace and the goddess who presides over wind, Ninrir. She was a beautiful girl with long, platinum hair and deep, clear blue eyes.

The first of the Goddess of Wind, Ninrir’s friends: The Goddess of Earth, Kisharle. With long, wavy, golden hair and dark eyes, as well as a generous chest to go along with her slim hips, she was a different kind of beauty than Ninrir.

The second of the Goddess of Wind, Ninrir’s friends: The Goddess of Fire, Agni. She had burning, fiery red hair gathered up in a ponytail, paired with golden eyes and tanned swarthy skin. She was more of a healthy kind of beauty.

The third of the Goddess of Wind, Ninrir’s friends: The Goddess of Water, Rusalka. She had the form of a beautiful child of around 7 or 8 years old, with deep blue hair reaching down to her shoulders, and green eyes.

The four goddesses were gathered around a water mirror, watching a certain group.

“That man, is he still not going to make an offering~?”

“I know. He’s kind of late.”

“Right? Someone send down an oracle.”

“......” (Nodding silently.)

The goddesses were getting impatient. It seemed that the sweets from otherworld Japan had charmed the other goddesses as well.

“Agni, you were the one that suggested an oracle. You do it.”

“Yeah~”

“......” (Nodding wordlessly.)

It looked like the other goddesses were going to push the role of sending an oracle onto Agni, the one who suggested the idea.

“W-Why me?! I don’t wanna. You all know that if I did that, the other gods might think that we’re doing something in the lower world. Not only that, but the Creator God would get mad again if he found out.”

“It’ll be fine. No one will find out if you just do it once. Even I did it one or two times and didn’t get discovered.” (Luckily.)

“She’s right~. You’ll be fine for at least one time.” (Of course, there’s no way we would know if she’ll get found out or not.)

“......You’ll be fine.” (I have no idea if she’ll be fine or not, but as long as it’s not me...)

The goddesses were pretty heartless. It looked as though they wanted to avoid inviting the Creator God’s wrath, no matter what.

“Grnnrnrn...... It can’t be helped, since I was the one to suggest it. But if I’m going to take on this much risk, I demand a reward. You guys said alcohol’s no good, but I’m going to ask the otherworlder for some. If you guys don’t want that to happen, you guys send the oracle.”

“Khh......” (Alcohol, huh? It does seem like it would attract some annoying people, but without an oracle, that guy......)

“Alcohol......” (It seems like it would attract those annoyances somehow but maybe 1 or 2 bottles might be fine?)

“.........” (It might attract those alcohol lovers, but it has nothing to do with me since I don’t like alcohol.)

It seemed that, as the goddesses agreed with what Agni was saying, they wanted to hurry and get their hands on their offerings more.

“Hey, what are you guys gonna do?”

The three goddesses started talking to each other, prompted by Agni.

“What do we do? I don’t think he’d remember to make an offering without an oracle. He’s already forgotten once.” (It’s for sweets. Agni, I’ll be counting on you. I’ll pick up your bones if something happens. I’ll go and tell that guy to give me extra while he’s praying. This time, I’ll make sure not to be heard by the other goddesses. Nufufufu...)

“Certainly, looking at this otherworlder boy’s actions, it seems like he’ll forget. I personally think one or two bottles of alcohol would be fine.” (If she’ll settle for only that much. Not to mention, I was considering sending my own oracle while that otherworlder boy prays~. I definitely need to get my hands on that soap and shampoo and hair treatment and stuff. I need to get the otherworlder boy to offer me that stuff no matter what. Oracles while he’s praying go both ways, so it’s harder to detect. I’ll do it then~.)

“I also think it’s fine.” (As long as she clears the first hurdle it’ll all be fine. I’ll be able to send the otherworlder an oracle. The sweets were good, but the savory stuff looked good too. I want to try some.)

The three’s opinions came together.

The goddesses were apparently faithful to their greed. However, that was maybe an understandable flaw — even though they were gods, being able to get their hands on things from another world did not happen very often.

“““That’s fine (Indeed!) (~) (Nod nod)”””

“However, only one or two bottles at most.”

“Exactly — those annoyances might get lured over if you get too much.”

“......” (Nodding vehemently.)

The three goddesses didn’t forget to drive the nail of their point into Agni. Agni was a heavy drinker on top of liking her alcohol, so they knew that if they didn’t drive home the point, she’d end up going off the rails.

“Tch! Fine, I get it!” Agni nodded reluctantly.

“Hey! Otherworlder, can you hear me? Hurry up and hand over your offerings!”

Truly an oracle befitting of Agni.

Meanwhile, the other three goddesses were reaching the climax of their greed.

(Sweets, come hell or high water—! I will get my hands on a huge amount of sweets! Especially dorayaki, that’s the highest priority.)

(Soap and shampoo and hair treatment. Oh, I also want that hair mask. Ahh~ I want to hurry up and try them out!)

(Food, Food, Food, Food, Food...)

The goddesses were vastly enjoying their ability to get their hands on otherworld Japanese products that they stumbled upon by chance.
