Mashiro and Misha

When I returned to the living room, Mashiro-san had just arrived.

Dea-kun was using the bath, so she was waiting her turn.

"Wait, isn't that Misha? What're you doing here… no wait, did Karina hit on you?"

"Huh? Oh! Mashiro!? When the heck did you come back to Terarialbee, nya!? If you're back, come say hi, nya! And you knew Karina this whole time, nya!?"

"Hm? You two know each other?"

Well, this is Mashiro-san's home country, and they're both pretty strong, so it wouldn't be strange if they'd crossed paths at tournaments or something.

"Yeah, we're acquainted."

"We're stuck with each other, nya."

They both said, playing it cool.

"I see, so you used to date? Must be awkward with an ex-girlfriend around."

"Karina!? Were you even listening, nya!?"

"We used to duke it out, not date. Want me to set you straight in bed?"

"Oh, I'm booked by the Five Elders today, so let's do it tomorrow, the three of us."

"Huh, Misha too?… That's a bit much even for me."

"Don't drag me into this, nya!? I don't want that either, nya!? And what's with you two being in that kind of relationship, nya!?"

Mufufu, I'm so popular it's a problem! Just kidding!

"Also Misha, I haven't actually gone back to Terarialbee, y'know? Karina's house is just all kinds of weird."

"O-oh, is that so… Well, she does have some connection with the Goddess, nya… Never thought I'd actually meet the Goddess in person, nya…"

At that, Mashiro-san's eyes went wide.

"Huh, the G-Goddess?… You actually met the Goddess!? Wow, that's amazing."

"Hm? Yeah, I met her… Wait, don't tell me you've never met her, Mashiro? Nyahahaha! Then I win, nyaaa!!"

"Hey there! The Butt That Pleases God!"

"Stop calling me that, nya Karina!? I need the Goddess to lift my curse, you know!?"

"What's this about? Tell me the details. If Misha's upset about it, it must be something fun, right?"

Mashiro-san grinned, baring her fangs. Exactly right.

So I explained the whole "Butt That Pleases God" situation to Mashiro-san.

"… I'm starting to feel a bit sorry for Misha."

"Oh my, how kind."

"And you're you, Karina. You could show a little mercy, y'know… Actually, Misha started this whole revenge thing herself, so I guess she brought it on herself… So when the Goddess's statue glowed, was the Goddess really pleased?"

"Super into it… She told Misha to keep coming to the church for a while so she can check out that butt."

"Yeah, I'm really starting to feel sorry for Misha… The curse thing is obviously fake, right? Or maybe staged?… Well, I don't wanna get cursed by the Goddess myself, so I'll keep quiet about it to Misha."

Yep, that's Mashiro-san for you. Cool-headed and sharp as always…!!

The type to see right through my boss's personality? You've been paying that much attention to me? Love it!

"… So you're not denying that the Goddess might actually curse people?"

"Well, it is that Goddess we're talking about."

"Maybe I should be a little nicer to Misha…"

Afterward, Mashiro-san tried being nicer to Misha, but when Misha said "Huh? What? You're being creepy, nya Mashiro," she stopped.
