GODDESS LOSES HER MIND
“Bell, sit down.”
“Yes, Goddess…”
Bell followed Hestia’s instruction and kneeled on the floor opposite her. It was night on the eighteenth floor, and the two of them were in the campground of Loki Familia.
“Peeking on the girl’s baths? Really? Do you know what Artemis thinks about people like you?”
“Yes…”
“If I were more like her, you’d be chased out of the familia with an arrow in your butt.”
“I’m sorry…!”
Outside the tent in full view of everybody, Bell was getting a stern talking-to. Hestia’s ferocious scowl and the anger in her voice made it clear this was no laughing matter.
Bell didn’t try to make excuses. Even though it was Hermes who had dragged him into it (and the god had already received his punishment), Bell had seen what he’d seen, and a real man needed to face the consequences of his actions. More to the point, though, he had a feeling that trying to explain away the situation would only make matters worse.
“I’m disappointed, Bell. To think my own follower is a Peeping Tom…I just can’t believe it.”
In a word, it was excruciating. Bell had to sit there, racked by guilt, as the goddess let him know exactly how unhappy she was.
“It’s so sad, so mortifying…so wrong! You’ve never tried to peek at me, so why now, dammit?!”
“Huh?!”
Hestia was screaming.
“Is it because of that Wallen-what’s-her-face girl?! You really want to see her naked that badly?! What’s the matter? Is a literal goddess not good enough for you?!”
“Wh-what are you talking about, Goddess?!”
“Shut up! I’m talking! And from now on, you’ll have to come into the bathroom every day and scrub my back!!”
“Lilly? Welf? Come quick. Goddess has gone mad! She’s spouting nonsense!”
“Hey! Come back here. I’m talking to you! Eyes off other girls!!”
“Goddess, what are you—Waaagh?!”
“Hey, don’t look now, but Lady Hestia’s climbed on top of Little Rookie.”
“I figure Li’l E’ll show up soon to put a stop to it.”
Just as Ouka and Welf expected, that was exactly what happened.
