The Goddess Needs A Break!

Chapter 60 - End of an Era

The serene feeling of finishing a long and hot shower was currently enveloping Takei, as he sat down in his chair relishing the feeling of elation that he felt from his soreness being removed.

With the events of the day replaying in his mind, a gentle smile spread across Takei's face.

He was feeling giddy from Akari's praise about him.

She looked just like a knight in shining armor that came to save him at his darkest hour.

"I wonder what Akari is doing right now..."

As Takei began to mutter something insignificant, a few knocking sounds could be heard from the other side of his door.

"Come in!"

Takei didn't feel like getting up to answer whoever was there, so he told them to come in of their own volition.

However, he would soon regret that mistake.

Opening the door slightly, a cute little goddess poked her head in.

"Is this a good time?"

Takei immediately froze and just stared at her trying to figure out the reason why she was here.

"So... is there a reason for this late night rendezvous?"

Akari had gone home after the festival due to her tiredness after the event.

She has gone on to play every game and eat at every stall before the festival closed down for the day. As a result, Akari declared that she was about to enter a food coma so the both of them headed back to their respective homes.

However, here she was standing right in front of him.

"I was worried about you, so I came over after I woke up from my nap."

Takei looked at the clock on his wall and noticed that the time was almost eleven at night.

"So, you took a six hour nap and skipped dinner?" Takei asked, exasperated.

Akari looked a little dejected about the way Takei phrased that sentence.

"Uuu... I went all out on the festival, so I ended up using more energy than I expected."

Takei observed her messy bed hair and confirmed his suspicions. She had definitely rushed over to his house as soon as she woke up.

It was also very evident by her light blue pajamas that she was already in full sleep mode.

Feeling bad that he caused her to come over in a hurry, Takei pointed to the bed and asked her a question that she never thought would have come out of his mouth.

"Do you want to sleep over tonight?"

Akari looked shocked about his proposal since she never would've expected the herbivore Takei to make such a daring claim.

He's never been that proactive before... Could it be due to the events that happened today? Well, it doesn't matter. This benefits me immensely so I won't care about the reason why.

Even though Akari was surprised, she quickly recollected herself and set her priorities straight.

"That sounds great! I assume that we'll be sleeping next to each other on your bed?!"

Takei reeled back in surprise at how excited Akari was to sleep over.

"Y-yes... that's the plan, at least. Or would you rather we sleep separately?"

"NO! N-O-P-E!"

Akari vehemently denied the idea with a grim expression on her face. She even spelled out the denial as a way to emphasize it.
