The day after Morrigan’s arrival.
In the early morning, I was sipping coffee while watching the sunrise in the garden.
Since coming here, I had naturally become an early riser. Drinking coffee in the crisp morning air had become my daily pleasure.
Click.
When I turned around, Morrigan emerged from the Log House, dressed in the same suit as yesterday.
“Good morning.”
“Good morning… Kshun!“
Morrigan rubbed her arms, looking cold.
I retrieved a cape from my Item Box.
“Isn’t it chilly like that? This cape has a Cold Resistance Skill.”
I had simply used Let’s Become Familiars on a regular cape to grant it the Cold Resistance Skill. Morrigan, unable to withstand the cold, accepted the cape from me.
“Would you like some coffee?”
“…Yes.”
We both sipped the coffee that my vegetable subordinate, Tomato-kun, had brewed.
“Wasn’t it bitter? Do you need sugar and milk?”
“Are you being a bit too kind to me?”
Morrigan shot me a suspicious glance.
“Yesterday, I tried to kill you, you know?”
Indeed, I had nearly been slain by that Heavenly Sword of hers.
“But it ended in failure, didn’t it?”
Morrigan muttered softly.
“Why don’t you direct any hostility towards me?”
Now, what should I say?
“Before that, do you remember what happened yesterday?”
“…A little.”
Morrigan had been drinking and eating, letting loose. It seemed she still had some memories of that time.
“I’m sorry for the trouble I caused… I fell asleep without cleaning up…”
After the banquet, Morrigan had simply collapsed. I had even had my familiars carry her to my bed.
“The familiars took care of the cleanup, so make sure to thank them.”
“Ah, thank you…”
Tomato-kun, who had been on the table, snapped to attention in a salute. Morrigan smiled and gently patted Tomato-kun’s head.
Yeah, she’s definitely not a bad person.
“Well, a lot happened, but I… don’t dislike you. I just thought you were having a tough time.”
Yesterday, Morrigan had been quite tipsy, venting her frustrations.
“Frustrations…?”
“Yeah. How the higher-ups are utterly incompetent, and how the underlings are too cheeky and won’t listen.”
“Ah…”
“While everyone around me is getting married, I’m the only one left out. Some of my peers are buying homes and having kids, and I’m feeling anxious.”
“Ahhhhhh!”
Morrigan suddenly crouched down, covering her ears.
“Did Tuatha Dé hear about this…?”
“No, she quickly dumped her responsibilities on me and went off to take a bath, eat, and sleep.”
“I’m sorry… for all the trouble…”
It seemed she felt she had inconvenienced me due to her own issues and the Demi-Goddess’s antics. The Demi-Goddess was more like a little sister to me, so it was no big deal.
Besides, I no longer saw Morrigan as a stranger. I was a former corporate slave, and Morrigan was currently a corporate slave.
That’s why I felt a sense of sympathy for her.
“Morrigan… you’re tired, aren’t you?”
“Well, yes…”
She had been drunk and had a pained expression even while sleeping. Now, deep lines were etched on her forehead.
Her skin looked worn, and her body seemed to be breaking down. I could sense fatigue building in her back and neck.
“How do you know all that…?”
“Of course, it’s handy—my Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet).”
“…Please don’t misuse it.”
It seemed Morrigan had no intention of forcibly taking my Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet).
Yeah, she’s definitely a good person, this goddess. That’s why… I couldn’t just leave Morrigan to her own devices.
“Morrigan, how about a bath? You didn’t take one yesterday, did you?”
“Ah… now that you mention it…”
She hadn’t even removed her makeup, so it was definitely time for a bath.
“I’ll show you. Follow me.”
Morrigan stared at me intently.
“…Is this part of your seduction strategy?”
“That’s just the Demi-Goddess talking. You can read minds, so you should know that much, right?”
I didn’t want to manipulate Morrigan for my own convenience.
I simply wanted this tired OL named Morrigan to regain her energy. Just like the old me, I wanted her to feel refreshed and return to work.
“…Understood. Please guide me.”
Using the transfer skill I had acquired as a goddess, Morrigan and I instantly moved to the open-air bath.
“Alright, let’s get in the bath?”
We stripped off our clothes and headed to the open-air bath. After washing our bodies, we slipped into the hot water, sitting side by side…
Ah, morning baths are the best. Soaking in warm water on a cold morning feels amazing.
I could feel the warmth spreading from my core…
“I feel like I’m melting away…”
“I agree…”
We relaxed in the bath.
“Is it really okay to just laze around here?”
“I’ve submitted my outing request until today, so it’s fine.”
“I see… So I have to return today, huh?”
“Yes… I need to write a report for the Supreme God when I get back…”
“The Supreme God?”
“The head god who oversees us.”
Is it really okay to leak such confidential information?
“That’s not allowed. But I thought you might keep it to yourself.”
“Well, I won’t say anything. It’s too much trouble.”
Morrigan chuckled softly.
She looked beautiful when she smiled. Yet… how could she not be married?
“Why can’t I get married…?”
“Maybe it’s because you’re too busy with work?”
“That’s true… I don’t have time for matchmaking.”
“Ah, no, that’s not what I meant…”
Morrigan tilted her head in confusion.
“It’s a bit odd for me to say this, but you seem to lack a sense of ease.”
“Lack of ease…?”
“Yeah. Because you’re too busy with work, there’s no room in your heart. That makes you tense all the time, which probably drives men away.”
In contrast, the Demi-Goddess, despite her carefree nature, exuded a sense of ease. She was attractive and likely to attract men.
“Y-You’re right, Tuatha Dé is… quite popular with the male gods…”
“Oh, really? I thought so.”
“But she breaks up soon after starting a relationship. I wonder why?”
“With that lazy personality, it’s no surprise…”
Taking care of her must be quite a hassle. Even if men were drawn in by her looks, they probably left due to her disappointing personality.
“On the other hand, if you just worked on your appearance a bit, Morrigan, you’d probably attract men right away.”
“R-Really?”
Her voice wavered slightly.
“Yeah. For that, you should try to relax a bit more.”
I, a former corporate slave who had burned out, suggested.
“Relax… how do I do that…?”
So serious.
“Like soaking in the bath like this, and maybe… a massage?”
“A massage…?”
“Yeah. Massages are pretty great. Want to try?”
I took Morrigan’s hand and led her out of the bath. We went to the changing room, dried our hair, and changed clothes.
“W-What is this… casual outfit?”
I changed into brown short-sleeved shorts. They were free size and felt nice against the skin.
I opened the side door of the changing room. Inside was a space with three massage tables.
The air conditioning was on, and there was even aromatherapy wafting through.
“I had a body care massage room made for you.”
I had asked Satsuma-kun and Dansha-kun to set it up when Morrigan came yesterday.
“I thought you might be tired.”
“F-For me…?”
“Well, it’s also for my benefit. So, massage familiars, come on out!”
Little familiars popped up on the massage tables.
“Donguri…?”
The familiar with a head shaped like an acorn.
“Massage specialist, Donguri Taro, and his brothers, the Donguri Brothers!”
The Donguri Brothers struck a cool pose. I had named the leader, Donguri Taro, using Let’s Become Familiars.
As a result, he had developed a Massage Skill.
“Now, lie down.”
Nodding, Morrigan lay face down on the massage table. I took the same position.
Donguri Taro and his brothers climbed onto our backs. And then…
Guri!
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Morrigan let out a sultry voice.
“Ah! N-No! Not there!”
…For some reason, Morrigan was making oddly erotic sounds. The Donguri Brothers expertly kneaded away our tension.
This was… irresistible… They precisely targeted the sore spots in my shoulders and back, relieving the pain.
I could feel the fatigue melting away. The tension was dissipating, and it felt so good…
“My body… is melting away… Faaah…“
Morrigan let out a voice filled with pleasure.
“I-I won’t be swayed by this delightful experience! Even if you try to seduce me, it will be futile!”
Morrigan glared at me fiercely.
However, the acorn pressed against Morrigan’s back with a gentle yet firm pressure.
“Ahhhhhh~~!! That feels amazing!!”
