The Goddess Is Obsessed With Me [Complete]

Chapter 40

"Eriana...?"

Am I seeing things? Is my vision blurred due to fatigue?

The scene unfolding before me was truly abnormal.

Is the steam from the bath creating an illusion? Or is my mind playing tricks on me due to dizziness?

I tried to make sense of the bizarre event in front of me with various thoughts.

After all, this is the men's bath... So why is it Eriana entering and not Elbert?

She clearly called out my name when entering, so she couldn't have mistaken it for the women's bath.

I want to believe that the Eriana I see isn't real and there's another reason for this vision...

"Uh... Harold... it's a bit embarrassing when you stare like that..."

With a shy voice and flushed cheeks, she modestly covers her essential parts.

"?!?!!"

After witnessing such an act, I face reality. My mind starts spinning from the shock and the heat from the bath, making it feel like it's about to explode from fever.

"Ah ahhh-?!!"

As I finally grasp the situation, an emergency alert from my consciousness makes my body reflexively recoil.

The noise I made was so strange that I can't even remember what I shouted, and my vision starts spinning.

When I come to my senses, I'm staring at a white wall, and the vivid image of Eriana's skin makes my face burn hotter.

With the sudden influx of so many events, the heat from the bath, and the rising steam, I find it hard to breathe. Adding to that my embarrassment, I felt like I would faint from a headache.

Did I see it wrong?! Did I just hallucinate because I soaked too long in hot water?!!

Hoping to deny the reality, wishing what I saw was a mere illusion, but...

"Harold, shall we bathe together?"

With that, she shatters my hopes and declares the truth. Her delicate voice makes me sit up straight.

"Uh... E... Eriana?! Why are you here?!!"

I blurted out without thinking, my anxiety increasing with every step she took.

"I simply wanted to bathe with you, Harold. I wanted to feel the water on my sweaty body, and wouldn't it be better with the person you love by your side?"

Why would you commit such a grave offense?!!

"Why did you come in?! Isn't it weird?!"

I desperately tried to reason with her, hoping that even a small chance might lead her out of this situation.

"What's so weird about it?"

Despite appealing to basic common sense, she looked puzzled.

"Well, this is the men's bath! You, a woman, shouldn't be here!!"

I kindly pointed out the obvious and tried to ask her to leave, but she responded confidently.

"Is it wrong for me to use the bathroom in my own house?"

"What...?"

Her words stopped my thoughts in their tracks, leaving me dumbfounded. I couldn't figure out what to say or how to persuade her.

"From the beginning, our mansion's bathroom was designed to accommodate multiple people. So, two people can share this vast space, right?"

Her arguments were full of flaws, and there were so many points I wanted to contest. But every time I tried to counter, my mind went blank.
