Ch 56 -- Indulging in Traditional Japanese Sweets



Ah, I just remembered, before I go to bed I need to make an offering to the Goddess . I nearly forgot and she's bound to complain if I skip another offering again .

Right then, get it over and done with and then go to bed . Let's see, open the Net Super . . . what would be good?  Since she's got a sweet tooth, how about traditional Japanese sweets this time around?

Hmmm, to start with some bean-jam-filled rice cakes, strawberry-filled rice cakes and some manjuu buns too, they've got a sweet chestnut filling . Dango dumplings on skewers for dipping into red-bean-jam sauce as well .

Ho hum, castella too, traditional wagashi confectionery and some more dorayaki . I've offered that up before but that Goddess won't complain if I repeat, I guess . To make sure I'll add a presentation box of sweet-bean jellies too . Yes, this should be enough . Now to offer them to the Goddess . I laid the Japanese sweets out on the cardboard altar .

"Wind Goddess Ninril-sama, please accept my offering as thanks for your continued protection now and in the future . "

The voice of the Goddess echoed in my mind as soon as I finished praying .

"Oh, I've been waiting! I'd have sent you an oracle if you'd been any later . "

Tch, so you've polished off the last offerings I sent you already? You're wanting more sweet things to eat? If you only eat sweets you'll get fat you know . Do Gods and Goddesses get fat, I wonder?

"I- I, I, I won't get fat, truly . G- Goddesses like me are always beautiful you know . "

If you're so sure why are you stuttering?

"B- B- Be quiet, you! Those cakes and puddings were very tasty but we've not eaten any for the last three days, I'll have you know . "

Goddess, you're a truly disappointing deity, you know . You're so gluttonous, aren't you? Totally useless too . Don't get fat, you'll not be able to call yourself beautiful with a straight face . A Goddess that stutters and eats too much is bound to get fat after all .

"Gumumumu, let's move on to more important things . What sort of sweet things are you offering me this time?"

Yep, she heard me just fine . A bit more?



They're only sweets after all, I wonder just how excited you are by them . If this Goddess were to appear in front of me I wonder how aroused she'd look?

"What?" she said . "They're only sweets, you know! You fool! Sweets aren't that great, huh?"

Oh, don't get mad . But as I thought, she can read my mind like an open book . Stop doing that, it's totally a violation of my right to privacy .

"Hah, what 'right to privacy'? I'm a Goddess, you know . There's 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, I'm a Goddess, don't forget it . I'm all-powerful and that's why you should show me some respect, you know . "

. . . she said . If you're really amazing you shouldn't need to tell people 'I'm amazing' . She really is a disappointing Goddess .

I'd like you to stop reading my thoughts as much as possible, huh? And don't bother watching me all the time . My life isn't that interesting after all . Show me some respect and save yourself some unnecessary effort . Give it some thought, please while you reflect on your own behaviour .

Deplorable sweet-loving Goddess .



"Nuuu, I am so totally not deplorable, you know!"

Ah, yeah yeah, of course you're not . Really . We're not getting anywhere with this so let's move on .

"Well, this time I chose some Japanese sweets, that is sweets from the country I came from . Ninril-sama requested anpan and dorayaki and there's a sweet that's got a lot of 'anko', the same filling inside them . "

"What'd you say? That 'anko' pastry? That subtle sweetness is so delicate, you know . "

A truly deplorable Goddess . So lazy .

"And as you can see, I've also prepared an offering of dorayaki . "

"Ohh, dorayaki . Great job, you . " It looks like the dorayaki is very much her favourite .

"In that case, please accept my offering . "

"I understand . Transferring it to the realm of the Gods now . "

The Japanese sweets that were on the cardboard altar were enveloped in a pale light and then they disappeared . It never seemed very flashy but it got the job done .

"Muho-, there's a lot this time . You've done well my disciple . "

What's with the 'Muho-' noise? She is a truly truly disappointing Goddess after all .

"I'll eat a dorayaki straight away . Mm-mm-mm- muhaha, delicious as ever, hah!"

'Muhaha-' this time? Time to stop provoking her, maybe . A deplorable Goddess anyhow . Now that the deplorable Goddess was no longer talking to me I went to bed, sliding quickly under the futon with Sui .

Haaa- my only comfort is Sui .
