Volume 1, Chapter 2
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
“I swear there’s something wrong with you people,” Miyamoto Sakura declared, brandishing her spoon.
“For one, you barged into someone’s home, claiming you were some reincarnations of a god and started freeloading there while you were at it. Then you threw common decency out of the window by taking baths together. And in the end, you even tried to sink your fangs in a kind neighbour that came to stop you. Let me take this chance and say this frankly, all of this is just crazy. As someone who lives next door, someone who’s close to Oogami family, and as Hikaru’s childhood friend──I have a firm protest.”
“Well, this really isn’t normal I agree,” the eldest sister, Kako, said understandingly.
“But you know, we are still goddesses. We can’t help it that our thought process differs from humans.”
“I also support what Onee-sama said,” Ima, the second sister was quick to agree to her.
“Gods have a god’s way of living, just like humans have theirs. While we can understand them both, they are still different existences on fundamental levels… So, it’s quite understandable that sometimes they clash with each other.”
“Yup, yup. It can’t be helped,” the third sister, Mirai, cheerfully continued, “We gods can be difficult to understand from the human perspective. But there are many ways where gods and humans can still understand each other in the end. With that said, we would be glad if you could watch over us with the long-term view.”
“Be quiet.”
Bang!
Sakura overruled them with a smack of her fist on the table.
“Don’t make it sound like you are some overseas students trying to get accustomed to the local culture. Even if we assume that to be true, they also say that when in Rome, do as the Romans do, right?
“Calm down, Sakura,” Hikaru humbly joined in on their conversation, “I think they are reflecting on it. Let’s just leave it at-”
“You be quiet.”
“Okay.”
And left at the light speed, just like that. As was expected of Him.
After the bath, the five of them were now sitting around the dinner table in the Oogami family’sliving room.
Today’s menu was curry and rice, the magical food that could brighten anyone’s day.
“Everything’s your fault in the first place.”
While pricking the potato in the curry, Sakura changed her target to Hikaru.
“It’s because you are too soft on them that they have become so conceited. Just be a man and reject them firmly, you know, firmly!”
“I see. Firmly.”
“Boys and girls of our age shouldn’t be bathing together, moreover, doing it with four of us is just crazy, hurry up and pack your bags and get out──Just tell them that.”
“I can’t really go that far. They are gonna end up adrift in the streets.”
“How can goddesses end up adrift just by being driven out of the house!”
She smacked the table again.
“Hikaru. Just be honest with me.”
“Eh, about what?”
“You are just losing to your lust, aren’t you.”
“Eh!?”
“You keep saying “I’m troubled, I’m troubled” all the time–and well, you may indeed be troubled in some way–but in reality, you are just happy about how lucky you are to receive such great service by three cute sisters, aren’t you?”
“Hahaha, of course not.”
“You are kinda weird in some ways, but I get that you are still an ordinary high school boy. So you should be feeling happy about sharing a bath with them and getting washed, right?”
“No, no, I don’t. Believe me, okay?”
“Just confess. I’ll forgive it if you do it now.”
“Actually, I think I’m in a awesome position.”
“As I thought. It seems there’s a need for punishment here.”
“Oh come on! You said you’d forgive me! You liar!”
“Calling me a liar, you are going to ruin my reputation here. I will really forgive you. I’m just giving you a punishment on top of it.”
With those words, Sakura moved the carrots from the curry rice to Hikaru’s plate.
“Eat these. I’ll let you go with that this time.”
“Sakura, your hate for carrots is the same as ever.”
“Don’t misunderstand. I call this kindness. Carrots contain a lot of nutrients.”
“Well, I like carrots so I’m perfectly fine with this. You are quite generous to forgive me with just this much, Sakura.”
“Hmph. Flattery won’t get you anywhere.”
Said Sakura with a sniff.
However, unlike her words, she didn’t look all that dissatisfied.
“In any case, Oogami family is reeking with unhealthiness with those perverted sisters here, so I’ll continue to strictly monitor you. If I see something I can’t tolerate, I’m going to come rushing here so keep that in mind. Good grief… You are so hopeless without me, Hikaru.”
“What a tsundere,” Kako teased her while adding Fukujinzuke to her curry.
“That’s what they call youth,” Ima also joined in while adding Onsen tamagoto her curry.
“She’s so cute,” and finally Mirai too while adding leek to hers.
“Don’t misunderstand!”
She struck the table again.
Despite her objection, her face was beet-red.
“We aren’t misunderstanding anything.”
“It’s a verifiable fact.”
“If you didn’t like him, you wouldn’t come running with yells all the way to his house, would you~”
“Rather, I feel like you are just using us as a pretext.”
“A pretext to come to the Oogami house.”
“Being the tsundere you are, you can’t be upfront about coming over, Sakura-oneechan.”
“In the end, she joined in for the curry.”
“Moreover, she’s forcing Hikaru-sama to eat those carrots.”
“Sakura-chan turned out to be the dominant type, I wasn’t expecting that.”
“But also a tsundere.”
“You should just be more honest with yourself.”
“Just confess and go out with him already~”
The sisters showered her with questions, while also surrounding her from three sides.
“Aagh, you are so annoying.”
Sakura shouted.
“I’m getting headaches from you all talking one after another. Just merge into one!”
“Oh. Then shall we?”
“Let’s do that.”
“Roger that!”
It had come to that.
The three sisters held their hands out facing the center of the table, and then they yelled at the same time.
“““Transform!”””
For an instant, a blinding light covered the surroundings.
And when it settled, instead of the three sisters, there was a single beauty that looked like a gal.
──Let us explain.
When the Kako-Ima-Mirai sisters──or otherwise, Urdr-Verdandi-Skuld goddesses merged into one, they would become the goddess of destiny, Norn.
They would change into this mode when Sakura found their separate speeches bothersome, or when they felt like it.
Incidentally, there was neither a need to hold out their hands and nor to shout “Transform!”. The sisters just felt like doing it.
“There, we changed as you asked.”
The goddess Norn, a gal beauty, sad with a grin while pulling three people's worth of curry towards herself.
“Sakura-cchi prefers it this way, right? Now you can go ahead and say what you were going to say, y’know?”
“...I don’t really have anything to say. I merely said to merge into one because you were being annoying.”
“Point taken, I guess? Rather than being cornered by the three of us, you prefer being bullied by one? Nail on the head, right?”
“......”
Sakura didn’t reply.
Instead she continued stuffing her face with the curry rice.
“Sakura-cchi, you are like an open book. Like, you tend to sink into silence the moment you get in a bad spot or have something to hide.”
“...Don’t misunderstand. I’m being quiet because I’m focusing on eating my curry. Munch munch, gulp gulp.”
“Okay okay, let’s leave it at that. Since I’m so kind to you, I’ll hold back from delving into matters.”
“Shoo noishii. ‘nsh I finnif iifinh ish, I’ll hove you ‘oose boosh.”
““So annoying. Once I finish eating this, I’ll show you who’s boss”──was it? Okay okay, I got it already, so just focus on your food. Like, I can’t understand what you are saying if you talk with your mouth full off curry, y’know.”
With a burst of laughter, the goddess Norn also started to stuff her cheeks with the curry.
“By the way, Hikaru-cchi. You are still hungry, ain’tcha? Wanna have another serving of the curry? More like, you just can’t help it, can you? You’re a growing boy so you eat a lot.”
“Ah, yeah. Thanks. I guess I’ll have another one.”
“You like having a lot of Fukujinzuke, right? Would you like some grated cheese too? I’ll sprinkle a ton of your favorite Parmigiano on it.”
“Oh, that sounds tasty. Please do.”
“Sure thing, leave it to me!”
Norn stood up and headed towards the kitchen, but then smiled and added.
“Sakura-cchi, this is just like that, right? A carnivore gal at a glance but actually a considerate wife and a wise mother. Like, having a gap in the character seems to be the trend nowadays.”
“So annoying. That kind of pushiness is uncalled for. ...and actually, even I know what Hikaru likes… I just don’t like to act so forceful, but if I feel like it…”
“Sakura-cchi? I can’t hear what you are mumbling there to yourself, y’know?”
“And you don’t need to either. Just go and bring him the seconds already. ...Oh, and please get one for me too while you are at it. And make it a large serving.”
“Sure thing!”
Norn said with a smile.
The atmosphere around the Oogami dining table wasn’t tense in the end.
“So delicious.”
“Isn’t it?”
“Well, it’s not bad.”
Three (or perhaps five) of them proceeded to eat the curry in high spirits.
Disregarding their ties to the world of myths, and not caring about Valhalla, Asgard or Muspelheim, or any of that, this was a love comedy solely focusing on flirting.
Such was their daily lives.
Ragnarok had long since ended, and now these days were the most wholesome reality for them.
And having baths together was also included in that. Everyone being naked and everyone getting along. With Love and Peace. An ideal world, presented by the goddesses firsthand.
Perhaps. Surely. Probably.
“Let me ask this frankly.”
Sakura said as she placed the spoon down.
“What is the goal of you three sisters? You approached Hikaru, are freeloading more and more, and doing nothing but lewd things everyday. Just what are you thinking?”
“Eeh?”
Norn pouted.
“Even if you ask that, we aren’t thinking anything, y’know? We like Hikaru-cchi, and like to get along with him, so we are just having some skinship with him, or something I guess?”
“You are lying.”
“I’m nooot. I’m like, totally serious.”
“I can’t believe that, you know. Even if may not look like it, I have confidence in my intuition. You guys are weird in the head, but you aren’t really idiots at the core. You are definitely planning something. Come clean about it right here and now, even Hikaru wants to know the truth.”
Uhh, no.
I’m really fine either way.
Hikaru thought but didn’t speak.
After all, looking at this curry was enough.
Sprinkled with Parmigiano and Fukujinzuke, it looked like a superb piece of art. The three sisters were skilled chefs, no matter the dish, and they diligently cooked three meals each day.
He felt blessed to be able to eat tasty food every day.
And what he felt for the sisters who brought that happiness to his life was only gratitude and he had nothing to suspect.
“...Ku ku Ku. Since we have been found out, it can’t be helped.”
On the contrary, Norn clearly had an impish smile on her face after being questioned by Sakura.
“As expected from Sakura-cchi, you saw through our plans. Since it has come to this, I’ll come clean here just as you wished.”
“Wha… So it really was like that, huh?! Just what are you plotting?!”
“Ku Ku Ku. Don’t get too shocked now.”
Norn started a fervent speech with a villain-like expression while brandishing the spoon that had turned yellow from the curry.
“Actually, there’s a grand plan behind why we are doing lewd things with Hikaru-cchi every day, you see? And like, it’s something that you can’t even hope to imagine, Sakura-cchi, y’know?”
“Uugh… It makes me frustrated but you are right. Just what is this grand plan.”
“As you already know, Hikaru-cchi is the reincarnation of our chief god Odin-sama, however he doesn’t remember any of that, or rather, he looks no different from a normal human. If I had to say, we want to see the properly resurrected Odin-sama.”
“Mhmm. I kind of understand that much.”
“However, while we aren’t certain, it seems that Odin-sama has been sealed inside Hikaru-cchi through some unknown cause. But the key to unlocking that seal seems to have been entwined with Hikaru-cchi’s worldly desires, or so the three of us think.”
“Hmm? What does that mean?”
“Like, you know how Hikaru-cchi likes lewd things and stuff but has that bodhisattva-like side too? Even when he is being lewded, he just end ups fawning over us instead of doing a Lupin dive at us like a true man would, right? Don’tcha think that’s kinda weird?”
“Hmm, you have a point.”
“So like, we are doing lewd things to him. And so, when he finally succumbs to our lewdness, Odin-sama will finally resurrect.”
W-What did she just say?
Hikaru expressed his surprise in his mind.
I see. So that’s how it was.
Well, I’m fine with that. Let’s just say that’s the compensation for this happiness.
“And when Odin-sama finally resurrects…!”
Norn yelled with her hands up in the air.
“It will be the day when the mythical world we lived in would once again appear in the real world, and the human world would meet its demise! Hear, humans! The roaring echo of the Gjallarhorn! Fear, humans! For the day when Ragnarok appears once again! Prostrate yourselves before the might of Gods, and lament on your feebleness! Aaahahahahaha!”
She let out a cackle, making Sakura stare in exasperation.
“You know, Norn. Aren’t your shoulders hurting in that pose?”
“Yea. They do. I’m really not fit for this.”
Returning to her former self, Norn went back to eating her curry.
“Well, leaving the thing about the world of myths aside, Odin-sama is a good god, in the end, despite everything. If he resurrects, the world would become a bit of a better place. And like, mankind wouldn’t lose out because of it, y’know?”
“Hmm… Well, yeah, it doesn’t seem like he would do evil stuff. It’s Hikaru in the roots, after all.”
“So with that said. Why not do lewd things with him too, Sakura-cchi?”
“Huuh?! How did it come to that?”
This went into a strange direction, thought Hikaru.
So this means that there will be even more lewdness after this too?
That’s so troubling. Really, really troubling. Seriously troubling indeed.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Like, we can lewd him together and you get to help us in reviving Odin-sama, y’know?”
“I’m not doing that. Definitely not, you hear!”
“Eeh? But Sakura-cchi, you actually like lewd stuff, don’tcha?”
“Not particularly!”
“It’s not good to lie. If a healthy high schooler didn’t hold interest in lewd stuff, I don’t know what else would they be interested in. You are a healthy high schooler, ain’tcha, Sakura-cchi?”
“W-Well, I am, but…!”
“You ARE interested in them a tiny bit, right?”
“I’m not…is something I can’t say...BUT! Only a bit, you hear!”
“If you make a lewd alliance with us three, you get to come here more often, and you also get to be with Hikaru-cchi even more, there’s nothing bad for you with that, is there?”
“I-It’s not like I particularly want to be together with… mumble mumble.”
“Come now, you are such a pain, Sakura-cchi. If you keep being so dishonest, I’ll use my authority as a goddess to make you honest, y’know? If I change your body so that you can’t think of anything but lewd things, even you will become honest, wouldn’tcha? If I do that, you’ll be crawling in Hikaru-cchi’s bed every night, and become the biggest pervert there is.”
“Wai-, don’t you dare, you hear?! If you do I’ll really send you flying!”
The Oogami household was as boisterous as ever even if the sisters merged into one.
For the just cause of reviving Odin, just what kind of lewd things awaited them?
Or perhaps Sakura would be a deterrent and keep the lewdness away?
As the story approached a big turning point, Oogami Hikaru, holding the key to everything, felt no tension, and merely said in a carefree voice.
“By the way, this curry is really delicious. Thirds please!”
