Episode 2
"Hup!"
"Haah!"
The minions suddenly began doing push-ups in perfect form.
"I told you to take him out! What are you doing?"
"I apologize. My body is moving on its own!"
"What?"
The masked knight tried to move but was blocked by something and flustered.
"Is this your doing?!"
Sharp.
"Goddess. Introduce yourself."
"Do you want to vanish from here right now? If I set my mind to it... My name is Belleira. A fourth-rank goddess, I like collecting seashells, and my specialties are fire magic and dimensional magic... Huh?"
The goddess revealed her bewilderment plainly.
Why am I saying these things? She looked completely unable to understand.
First, let's set up a safeguard.
"All acts of aggression directed at me are strictly forbidden."
"Urk...!!"
The goddess Reira seemed to feel something.
"What did you do to me?"
"Just a little prank."
"You bastard! I am not someone you can speak to as you please. Withdraw at once!"
"Can't you read the situation? Reira, stand up."
I spoke, looking at the goddess.
"Ah, urk...!"
The goddess, who had been seated in an elegant posture, rose from her chair at my words.
"Lady Reira!?"
The knight shouted in confusion, but she herself was probably more bewildered.
"I don't know. I can't go against this human's words. Not even a little..."
"From now on, I am your god."
"...!"
Perhaps taking it as an insult, the goddess glared at me as if she wanted to kill me.
If looks could kill, I would have been burned to ashes long ago.
She might actually be trying to do even that right now.
However, I'd installed a safeguard, so there was no problem. Reira could not harm me.
"Thanks to your discourteous behavior, my mood is absolutely foul right now. Shall we have a little time for reflection?"
"What...?"
"In our world, we sometimes administer corporal punishment when disciplining. Don't be so nervous. Reira, one hundred squats."
"Sq...uat?"
Ah, she might not know the term.
Since we had been conversing naturally in our language, I had assumed she was well-versed in human culture too, but it seemed there were individual differences.
I nonchalantly rolled up my sleeves and leisurely demonstrated.
"Spread your legs shoulder-width apart, arms forward. It's a motion where you lower your hips like this. I'll count it as one when you go down and come back up."
"······." "······."
The two were at a loss for words at the eccentric act I was putting on.
"See? One hundred squats. Begin."
"Ah...!?"
Reira began squatting just as I had shown her.
"Focus on your glutes."
"S-stop it! Right now!"
"Stop what? You're the one doing it."
Each time the curve of Reira's hips was emphasized, the fabric of her slit dress fluttered, threatening to expose her privates but stopping just short.
"Urk! Ugh!"
She struggled desperately to resist my command, but it was futile.
I had already verified this through numerous trials. The best resistance she could muster was, at most, making a face.
"Smile even if it's hard. Smile prettily while you're being punished."
Reira lost even the freedom to make a fierce expression, continuing her squats with a bright, beaming smile.
Meanwhile, the knight was ramming against an invisible wall while shouting that he would protect Reira.
"Lady Reira, I shall aid you at once! Hup! Heurk!"
I sat on the edge of the chair Reira had been sitting on and leisurely watched her buttocks.
As I did so, my anger gradually subsided.
If I can't return to my original world, I have to go to a new one. But I have no intention of falling into a worthless world.
Let's use the goddess to go to a nice place. One with a suitable level of civilization and plenty of pretty women.
"Make me stop this ridiculous thing right now."
The goddess's voice had softened considerably compared to before.
"Ridiculous? This is excellent exercise. How does it feel to get healthier?"
I smacked Reira's buttocks from behind with my hand.
At that, the knight thrashed about, almost screaming.
"When I get out of here, I'll tear you to shreds and kill you!"
"······."
I looked at Reira and fell into thought.
"Now that I look, something seems lacking."
What was lacking? I got up and went in front of Reira.
"Ah! Put your hands behind your neck and expose your armpits."
"~~~~!"
Reira let out a silent scream and exposed her armpits.
Clean. Does the goddess shave too? Or does it not grow in the first place?
"Lower your hips deeper."
I dragged the chair over and sat in front of her.
Before I knew it, Reira's cheeks were flushed red with humiliation.
The fabric of the slit dress fluttered, revealing Reira's buttocks. Though the deeper parts remained precariously hidden, that was precisely what made it worth watching.
Gradually, Reira's breathing became shallow and ragged.
It was the result of her struggling desperately to refuse my command.
Nothing changed. Reira could only stop after exactly completing the hundred squats I had ordered.
"What do you want?"
Though her eyes still hated me, her voice showed a certain degree of resignation.
"I want to choose the world I go to myself. I want you to help me in detail."
"There is no god who would appoint someone like you as an agent! Annihilation at once..."
"Reira. Sit on my lap."
Reira walked over as lightly as a cat and sat on my lap.
Of course, regardless of her own will.
I held her in my lap and kneaded her buttocks.
"I didn't hear that well. Could you say it again?"
"I don't want to talk. You're just going to put me through something more humiliating."
"Answer my questions truthfully."
This keyword was simple but powerful. Because when a question was asked, Reira had to speak the words buried deep in her heart.
Reira bit her lip.
"What do you mean by something more humiliating?"
I abruptly slipped my hand in and touched Reira's chest. It reminded me of the last breasts I had touched before I died.
The skin texture was the goddess's crushing victory. Unbelievably soft and tender.
"I don't know."
Reira poured out curses at me with her eyes.
"A fun thought just occurred to me."
I hiked Reira's slit dress up to around her waist and caressed her buttocks as if covering them with my hand.
Wait, my hand seemed somewhat blurry? Now that I looked, my body was half-incorporeal.
"Reira, what happened?"
"Souls are unstable, so the more you speak or move, the shorter your stay becomes."
"What? Then I can't have sex in soul form?!"
"...I-I can't! I wasn't planning to anyway!"
Damn it. At this rate, I'll probably vanish before I can even ejaculate.
"How much time is left?"
I had to hurry.
Reira spoke with an expression that showed she really didn't want to answer.
"From the looks of it, about an hour. It might decrease further if you move."
Since Reira had no choice but to answer my questions truthfully, there was no lie in these words.
I had to hurry up and prepare to go to the other world.
"It's too late to regret now. For the crime of insulting a goddess, you will suffer the most terrible agony and then be annihilated."
I had wondered why he had been silent until now; it seemed this knight knew my fate.
Since he couldn't move a single step no matter how he struggled, had he decided to pour curses on me instead?
"What the hell have you been watching all this time?"
I have a goddess.
"I'm asking you, Reira."
"Who would listen to a request from you? Not a chance. Just disappear like that!"
I snapped my fingers.
