The Goddess Is Obsessed With Me [Complete]

Chapter 48

"Harold? You seem different today..."

Although I had met with Mir on the way, I managed to arrive at the guild hall without any issues.

"What happened yesterday? You seem a bit off today."

Erina, who had arrived at the guild hall before me and was waiting, greeted me. But as soon as she saw my state, she asked me with a mix of surprise and curiosity.

"Nothing major, really."

To be honest, there wasn't any lie in this statement. I had merely run into a female acquaintance on the street. I might have been slightly later than usual, but I hoped she'd overlook such a minor issue.

"Hmm... Really?"

However, Erina, who usually trusted my words, looked at me with suspicious eyes this time.

Was my demeanor that different from usual? I expected her to be a bit surprised, but I hadn't anticipated such a defensive stance.

"You seem... different. You came in with a heavier and more serious aura than usual."

Her tone was almost accusatory, as if saying, "I'm suspicious of you," and her piercing gaze tried to read my every thought.

"Tell me the truth. What happened today or yesterday?"

She interrogated me like a detective, and I involuntarily trembled.

"Oh... your expression says it all. You're hiding something, aren't you?"

Was I that bad at hiding my emotions, or was she just exceptionally perceptive? Either way, she caught on quickly.

Her suspicions were now turning into certainties, and I hesitated on how to answer.

To be honest, I was reluctant to tell her I had met Mir.

She always acted defensively, even aggressively, toward any female who might be a potential romantic interest for me.

Moreover, she'd always make sure I bore the brunt of her jealousy. If I tried to associate with Mir or any other deity, she'd exert an oppressive aura that would suffocate me.

And if she ever reached her breaking point, she'd commit a major crime in a fit of rage. So I always had to tread carefully on such topics.

"Speak up..."

Her calm yet stern voice felt threatening, as if a knife was pressed against my throat.

Naturally, I couldn't reveal everything, so I chose my words carefully.

"I just ran into Mir on the street. That's all."

At this, she looked at me with an even darker gaze, trying to decipher my every word.

"Hmm~ What could have possibly happened with that outdated dragon that made you come in here like a completely different person?"

While she ridiculed Mir, her expression was not one of amusement, and I felt increasingly cornered.

"Tell me what happened."

The only answer I could give to that was, "I definitely can't."

She was already worked up just hearing about Mir. If I were to reveal the details of our encounter, I feared what might transpire.

If I had to summarize our encounter, I'd say that Mir had passionately kissed me. Moreover, we discussed that I'd have to endure such actions periodically.

Discussing this topic would be dangerous territory.

"Speak!"

The tone of her voice became harsher, pressuring me to reveal something.
