281-Sia is kind






 I'm on my way to have lunch with Shea, but the trouble is, I can't get the conversation going at all.
 Of course, one of the reasons for this is because of Shea's negative filter, but more than anything else, it's because I haven't been able to gauge Shea's character.

 To be honest, I still don't know what kind of person Shea is or what kind of personality she has. In fact, Shea's personality is difficult to read.
 I don't know if people think of me favorably or not, but I'm being treated in a rather aggressive manner. I'm not sure if she's a good fit, or if she's offering me a drink or a roundabout apology.

 I followed behind Shea-san, who silently walked a bit in front of me, and was looking at Shea-san's back to see if there were any clues to the conversation, when Shea-san suddenly stopped in her tracks.

''What's wrong?''
....

 Shea-san doesn't answer my words as she tilts her head and asks, she moves her face slightly. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a girl buying an ice cream-like candy from a food cart and smiling with a happy smile on her face.
 I wonder what's wrong with that girl? As I was thinking that, the girl ran right next to me and Shea-san with a happy expression on her face.......At that moment, I saw what looked like glowing lines on the girl's body for a moment.

''Huh! Shh, Mr. Shea, that's ... what the hell are you doing?
....

 And before I knew it, a miserable shaped scythe was held in Shea-san's hand.
 The current stance of Ms. Shea, no matter how you look at it, is like she swung the scythe out of the air, and I hurriedly look at the girl from earlier, but.................it doesn't seem like her body is particularly cut.
 Shea-san takes one look at me who is in a hurry, then turns off her scythe and starts walking as if nothing happened.

''........My scythe cuts the bad luck.
...What?
Think of it as a kind of misfortune.
'Well, do you mean that's what happened to the girl who was just there?'
"...bad luck is everywhere. Big or small, though.

 Does that mean it's like a good riddance? Did he do that to the girl who was just there?

If you cut off a big problem, it will affect your body. But if it's a small problem, you can cut it off.
''By the way, what happened to the girl from earlier if she stayed like that?''
You know what? I don't see fate like the God of Fate. I just see bad luck ... I don't know what it's going to be until it's that big, but if it's that big, well ... I'll fall down and drop a pastry or something like that.

 It seems that Shea-san can't see fate, but she can see what could be called an omen of misfortune, and she cut it off that which was in the girl just now.
 If she hadn't done so, it seems that the girl would have suffered a small misfortune such as falling down.

''.........Then, Shea-san saved that girl.......''
Don't get me wrong. The gods don't help every single person who hasn't even blessed them.
'What? And, but now...
''Well I pretended, and that kid happened to pass through there. That's all!
'What? Oh, yes.....
Hmph.

 It's not a bad thing to say, but I guess that's just the way Shea is.
 Although his words and deeds are harsh in some ways, I know now that he was able to quietly help an individual... a little girl who wouldn't have helped an ordinary god race. I guess I'm a kind person at heart.
 Well, but perhaps if I said that, Shea-san would be angry, so I'll keep it to myself.








 Shea took me to a restaurant, and we went in and sat down.
 Since Shea is the No. 5 of the divine world and the head of the senior gods, I thought it might cause a stir, but... Shea is basically working behind the scenes, and since he doesn't appear in public, his face is hardly known. There doesn't seem to be any.
 So even if I sit in a normal restaurant chair like this, I don't get particularly fussed about it, so it seems I don't need recognition inhibition magic.

''........Order whatever you want.
Oh, yes.

 While looking at the restaurant, which has a vaguely ethnic feel to it, I look at the menu that Shea-san handed me.
 ........they all look spicy, don't they? What is this place? A restaurant specializing in spicy food?
 Apparently the gift I received earlier, that extremely spicy pastry, was really Shea-san's favorite, and I decided to order from the menu with spicy-looking names, choosing the one that seemed relatively safe.
 When the waitress came to take our order, Shea and I ordered our respective dishes....

Would you like to choose how hot the food is in this restaurant?
...100 times.
What?
What?

 Hearing Shea-san's words, which she told me so matter-of-factly, both me and the clerk stiffen involuntarily.

'.......100 times.
'Oh, I'm sorry, sir... and we're also a spicy restaurant. I'm not saying it's impossible, but ... well, are you okay with that?
No problem, 100x.
I'm sorry, sir, but are you a hundred times as good as your customer?
No, no, I'm just a regular spicy...

 When the waitress asks me, clearly upset, I tell her that I'm fine with normal spiciness, 100 times spicier or something, no kidding! That kind of thing would make my taste buds disappear.
 And as the clerk bowed his head and left, Shea-san looked at me with a surprised expression for some reason and muttered.

''........you, you don't think.......you have a sweet tooth?''
....

 No, that's not right. If you're in a restaurant that sells spicy food and you ask for regular spicy food, you're a sweetheart... what kind of horrible criteria is that....

 As it was, after a few moments, the waiter brought me the usual spicy, delicious-looking dish I'd ordered...................and a horrible dish that 'boils red like lava'.
 Red ... just red ... just red ... can you really eat something like that?

 As I looked at Shea-san while thinking like that, Shea-san took a bite of her food.......with a somewhat reluctant expression on her face.
 Look, you see, it was hard for Shea-san too, after all....

...that's a little sweet.
....

 I think his taste buds are broken, don't you? What's the sweetness factor in that dish? It's at a level that makes my mouth hurt just looking at it.......and I can't believe it.
 Yah, after all, the only sane person of the God Race is Kuronoa-san?








 I saw something horrible. With such a feeling in my heart, I finished my food and walked out of the restaurant with Shea-san, who had just eaten a dish that looked like it would be offensive to even call it extremely hot.

'....Thank you for the food, Shea-san.
Hmm........how can you eat such a sweet dish?
....

 Rather, it's you, Shea-san, who can eat spicy-looking food like that. No, seriously....

Anyway, I've kept my word. Do you have a problem with that?
'What? Yes, thank you very much.
Let's get back to it.
Yes, sir.

 Shea-san tells me that and starts walking, and I start walking towards the inn.
 Huh? But Mr. Shea is staying in the royal castle, right? I think we're going in the opposite direction... maybe that means you're sending me a ride?

 As I was going down the road thinking about this, Shea stopped again and moved his face.
 This time the sea was out in front of her gaze, and she could see a boat in the distance, as if it was out fishing.

''A ... big trouble.''
'What? Is that the ship?
....
What are you going to do?

 
 I asked, thinking about it, but Shea looked like it was nothing special and took his gaze off the ship.

''I don't do it. Like I said before, the gods don't help the human race with every single thing.
But... but...
Don't impose your good intentions on me I don't care what you think, but we all have different values. Don't ask me to do what you think is right.
'What? I'm sorry.
Tsk.

 I listen to Shea-san's words as she told me evasively, and I lower my head.
 Indeed, it may not be right to ask Shea to save that ship.
 Thinking about this, my shoulders slumped a little, but I couldn't overlook the fact that I knew, and at the moment I thought of a way to do something, Shea-san clicked her tongue and took out her scythe.

''.........My flash of light will break the disaster.......''
Huh?

 After muttering quietly, Shea-san swung her scythe and a huge jet-black slash that appeared shortly afterwards flew towards the ship.
 That slash disappeared as if it was sucked into the ship, and Shea-san erased the scythe as if nothing had happened.

''........Shea-san.
''If you pay off the big trouble, it will affect you but... well, you can adjust that kind of thing as much as you want if you're serious... you owe me a debt of gratitude for convincing the God of Fate. For once, I'll go along with that sweet idea.
...Oh, thank you very much.


 After telling her that in a boring way, Shea-san starts walking again.
 The moment I heard those words, I somehow felt........that Shea-san was planning to save that ship without me saying anything else.

''........Shea-san is a kind person, isn't she?''
What? What do you mean, you don't know what you're talking about? What are you trying to do!
'What? Oh, no, I'm sorry. I didn't have a plan, but my thoughts just came out of my mouth...
'Ugh, shut up, you idiot! Die!
Yeah, yeah...

 It was meant to be an honest word of praise, but Shea-san wasn't used to being praised, or maybe she wasn't used to being praised herself, but she ran off after shouting with a bright red face.
 How can I say, while looking at the posterior figure running away................................I think the word tsundere came into my head.

 Dear Mom and Dad - I still don't know a lot about Shea-san. I'm not sure if she doesn't like me or if she likes me to some extent, or even that.......but one thing is for sure - Shea-san is a kind person.
