Chapter 148 I Think She is a Very Attractive Goddess (1/2)
After a lunch filled with happiness and embarrassment…… Or rather, the happiness that was completely trampled by the embarrassment I’m feeling, my date with Shiro-san at the beach continues.
[……L- Listen here, Shiro-san. Gently…… Just hit it gently!]
[Yes.]
[I’m being serious here, be as gentle as when you’re holding a cookie……]
[I understand.]
Towards Shiro-san who was holding a ball for beach volleyball that she made, I timidly, yet repeatedly told her.
I was the one who suggested beach volleyball when she told me we were going to play in the ocean after lunch…… and now, I regret it very much.
[I’m begging you here! I would really die there, you know!?]
[I could bring you back to life if you die, so it’s alright.]
[That’s totally not okay!]

That’s because my opponent is Shiro-san…… She, who is unmistakably the strongest being in this world.
If she hits the ball without any moderation, I can’t catch her attack…… No, rather than me not being able to catch her attack, my body would definitely scatter to pieces if I try to do that.
It’s more likely that the ball would be blown up first, but I think the wind pressure alone would turn this area into a vacant piece of land.
(T/N: The process of sending a ball from one side to another is apparently called “attack”, or so google says.)
Because the best evidence is that Chronois-san has been nervously looking at me from earlier.
It’s quite obvious to her that my life is in danger, so she’s thinking of trying to help me when I’m in a pinch…… but I can’t help but think that even Chronois-san might not be able to hold her own against Shiro-san, so I desperately requested her to moderate her attacks.
[I understand. I’ll make sure to attack with enough strength that Kaito-san will be able to return…… but in return, let’s play a game.]
[A game?]
[Yes, the same one Kaito-san played with the Phantasmal King…… The loser listens to one thing the victor says. What do you think?]
[……I- I understand. I’m fine with it.]

I wonder why? Why did Shiro-san bother to suggest such a thing?
……I have a bad feeling about this. Specifically, Shiro-san wanted me to do something.
Moreover, she would probably want me to do something that I would normally refuse to do if she proposed it…… I- I can’t lose here.
Incidentally, when I asked her how we judge whether who wins and who loses since we don’t have a court to play on, she said that the one who doesn’t catch the ball loses.
In other words, even if I returned a ball that would normally be a foul or even sent it to a direction that would give me a homerun, if Shiro-san can’t return it, she loses…… These terms are quite advantageous for the attacker.
Shiro-san slowly hits the ball, and just as she declared, the ball flies at a speed that I can fully handle.
The ball came flying straight at me, and I hit it back in a receiving stance but…… yep, fro someone like me whose only volleyball experience are the games I played in PE class, I wasn’t able to neatly return it back to her and sent it to a direction away from Shiro-san.
But, however……
[……Huh? Eh? Hey, that’s—-!?]
Shiro-san disappeared and appeared at where the ball was falling. She then easily returned the ball.

Eh? Wait a minute, did you just use teleportation? T- That’s not fair!
And needless to say, I lost miserably against Shiro-san, who could instantly move to return the ball even when I don’t know myself to which direction my returns are going.
That means I had to listen to one thing Shiro-san said, but she told me that she would just leave it for later, as she wants to play another game…… Somehow, I’m starting to feel uneasy here……
[……Hey, Shiro-san?]
[What is it?]
[……Why did you also “split the ocean” along when you should have just been splitting a watermelon?]
[I dunno?]
Cutely tilting her head, Shiro-san is the same as usual, as the scene happening before my eyes are all this airhead Goddess’s fault.
We were going to split a watermelon, but when Shiro-san swung her stick…… The entire landscape in front of me, along with the watermelon, was cut in half.
And beside Shiro-san who just was tilting her head at me, Chronois-san was holding her head with an exhausted expression on her face…… Chronois-san’s spirit has fallen in shambles.

[Wouldn’t that cause a tsunami……]
[Should I return it back to how it was?]
[Please do so.]
[I understand.]
With a wave of Shiro-san’s finger, the divided sea returned to normal as if nothing had happened.
Ah, she’s the same outrageous person she usually is……
[……Shiro-san, that’s strange.]
[Is that so?]
[……Yes, because this isn’t just a sand castle anymore, that’s already a “real castle” made of sand.]
[Did I make it a little too big?]

[That’s just not “a little” at all. Look, Chronoi-san looks like her eyes are already dead, whose fault do you think it is?]
[I dunno?]
[………………..]
In front of me right now is a huge castle made of sand.
The size and appearance are such that anyone would believe it if someone says that this is the royal castle…… And of course, Shiro-san is the one who made it.
That castle isn’t on the level of playing the sand already, you know!?
I don’t know if Chronois-san’s mind has been driven to the corner or not, but she looks like her soul has already left her body.
[……Miyama…… I’m begging you…… I’ll do anything…… Please help me.]
[C- Chronois-san.]
[If you ask me to take off my clothes , I will do it…… So please tell off Shallow Vernal-sama……]

[You don’t have to do that, I’m going to ask her to return it back to how it was before.]
Chronois-san seems like she has already had enough, as she weakly held my hand, asking for help with an empty look in her eyes.
I don’t know if I should say that Chronois-san have really suffered a lot or not but…… I really feel so bad for her.
As dusk was approaching , Shiro-san and I sat on a vinyl sheet, watching the glittering sea as the light of the setting sun illuminated the beach.
[It was a really fun day.]
[I’m really glad in that case.]
It seems like Chronois-san…… passed out around the time Shiro-san built a shipwreck and said she wants to go treasure hunting, and she is now being nursed by Ein-san at the beach house.
Incidentally, the reason why Ein-san didn’t appear all these times…… is because if she shows up, Shiro-san would change her maid uniform into a swimsuit.
Even as Shiro-san did all these absurd stuff today, I felt like the time flew by fast…… and if I were to be asked if I had fun, I certainly did have fun.
Perhaps, that’s because Shiro-san…… also seems like she’s also enjoying her time.

Shiro-san was still expression like always, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and most importantly, her spitting up the ocean and building real castles, all those preposterous stuff she did today…… I think that Shiro-san wasn’t able to act moderately because she’s probably getting excited in her own way.
Shiro-san was originally the God of Creation, so she would never have the opportunity to play around like this. That’s why I think Shiro-san was having fun in her own way.
Just being together with Shiro-san as she was having fun like that, I guess I’m also…… really having fun.
[……Kaito-san.]
[Eh? Ah, yes.]
[Do you remember our arrangement for our previous game?]
[Yeah, that I will listen to one thing you say.]
[Yes. I’ll use that now.]
[……W- What do you want me to do?]
As I was having an inner monologue, Shiro-san tells me in an intonationless voice, and even though I’m feeling uneasy, I answered.

S- She’s using it here huh…… W- What in the world would she make me do? I don’t think she would make me do something terrible, but I still have a bad feeling about this.
In front of the anxious me, Shiro-san removes her pareo wrapped around her waist, exposing her beautiful bare legs.
As I realize that my eyes can’t help but focus on her thighs, Shiro-san lightly taps her lap.
[I want you to sleep on my lap.]
[……Huh? Eeehhhh!?]
[I saw Kuro do it for you before, so I also wanted to try doing it once.]
[N- No, but……]
