As always, it’s too delicious…

How can you make this? I brought an elaborate dish to my mouth and struck a chord.

If I ate such a high level of food every day, I might not be able to eat out anymore.

If it were just plain good, I would probably get bored eating it every day.

However, I rarely feel that bored.

That’s because the goddess is good at everything from high-class items to simple seasonings.

When I thought, “I want to eat this,” the food I thought of came out.

I almost never insisted to Rin, “I want to eat this!”

It’s amazing, really.

“…Fu.”

“Um, wasn’t that to your liking?”

“No, just the opposite. It just fit too good for words.”

“I’m glad to hear it.”

The goddess says it in a clear manner, but her mouth slackens a little, as if she is somewhat happy.

But we’re eating like we do every day, but today, for some reason, we are side by side.

If we were facing each other, it would be a bit more spacious, but since the goddess is sitting beside me, it’s a bit cramped.

“Hey, isn’t it too cramped?”

“It doesn’t bother me.”

“And my elbows touching…”

“Oh, it’s on the edge of your mouth again?”

“Sorry… that’s not what I meant.”

“Surely…”

“I’m glad you understand.”

“I haven’t prepared any after-dinner refreshments yet. I’ll be right back.”

For a moment, I thought she had noticed me, but my shoulders slumped at Rin’s oblique response.

I haven’t been able to hold much of a conversation.

The goddess who is usually perceptive and seems to be psychic…

Is strangely out of touch when it comes to these situations.

Is this what you call a hard-of-hearing?

Well, I’m not sure.

Rin lays out a homemade dessert in front of me.

“You can have it after dinner if you like. Let me know if you need more, and I’ll give you some of mine.”

“No, I’ve got enough for myself. I mean, Rin, I’m very thankful. For everything, including the food…”

“No, no, this is just meddling.”

“I see.”

“I couldn’t help but chuckle at Rin’s turnaround as usual.”

Never condescendingly imposing onto others.

‘Just meddling,’ is what she always says.

I was both happy and sorry about that.

“Well, if there’s anything I can do, just let me know. I’ll do my best.”

“Hmm. Thank you very much. I’ll be counting on you then.”

“Yeah, I got it. But don’t get your hopes up, okay? I’m too weak and helpless.”

But there’s not much I can do about it.

If there is anything I can do, it is not to putting my body on the line or spending money.

If I had to say anything, it would be a comforting word.

Oh, but I wonder if I can provide donuts from my job.

“Then, can I make a request from you right now?”

“That’s sudden, …Well, I’m the one who mentioned it, so I don’t mind.”

“Just one thing then…”

For some reason, she takes a few deep breaths.

Is it something hard to say?

“Towa-kun. I mean, can you call me by my name at school too?”

“…at school?”

“If possible, I hope at all times, not just at school… I’ve lost my secret and thought it was a good opportunity.”

“Hmm…”

I wrinkle my brow and think.

Sure enough, Kenichi and Mr. Fuji found out about it.

But I think we’re still within the range of concealment.

So there’s no need for me to go out of my way to call Rin a name and let people know.

“Just so you know, even if Towa-kun doesn’t call me by my name, I’ll still call you by your name, okay? I don’t think it’s right to hide it.”

“Oh, seriously…”

My face tenses.

Rin calling me by my name at school?

Basically, the guy who’s called ‘buddy’ or ‘you’… (TL Note: implying that others don’t know his name.)

I wonder if it’s my imagination that I’m going to see so much blood…

But—

“Okay. I’ll do the same…”

“Really!? I’m so happy!”

I smiled at the goddess, who was giggling like a child.

In the end, I accepted to call her by her name.

It was partly because Rin asked me to, but my resistance would be pointless if Rin didn’t hide it.

This is not an option.

I feel like I can’t do anything.

“I’m glad you listened so honestly, Towa-kun.”

“I’m honest sometimes, too. I mean, I can’t hide it, so I just gave up.”

“Hmm. I see. Ah, but there are times when you need to hide things.”

“Yeah?”

Something to hide…?

Oh no, there’s too much… to tell.

Rin’s food, wake-up calls, her being at my part-time job, being at my house every day… and so on.

“If I had to hide one thing… maybe it would be that we slept together?”

“Hey, don’t take this the wrong way. It’s true that I slept next to you, but the way you said it, it sounds like you were ‘touching’ me.”

“Well, yes…. ugh.”

When I let out a weak voice, Rin’s face instantly flushed up to her ears.

It’s almost like steam comes out of her head.

And what’s with that reaction!

You talked about “touching your belly” a while ago!?

I only have a bad feeling when I get such a reaction…

“Well… Rin. Is that okay…?”

“Yes, no problem! It’s okay today. I’ll never panic …”

“Well, yeah … yeah?” Today “isn’t it decided that we’re still staying together?”

Rin’s reaction is all sorts of worrisome, but…

Let’s leave it at that for now.

I’m pretty sure she said that the most common phenomenon that happens in goddess’ house is a daylong…

“Can you take care of me today?”

Rin said and showed me her phone.

There it says, “Today is not going to end…But I will not give in! The higher the wall, the more a man burns! But I will not give in!” The message came like a hero challenging a strong enemy.

I look at it and sigh.

“What’s going on with the Wakamiya family?”

“Don’t worry about it. It’s just a normal couple’s play.”

“If this is normal, then the world is over…”

I wonder if Rin’s father will be okay.

I pray for your peace…

Thus, it was decided that Leah God would stay at my house today.
