The goddess was walking only a few steps ahead of me, swaying her hips from side to side in a sensual, elegant rhythm. Her hands were open and subtly extended to the sides, as if she were walking down a runway.
"Are you angry?" I asked.
"Hmph!"
She turned her face away from me.
"Come on, don't be like that. You know I was joking. I already told you — your whole premise makes no sense."
"It was a hypothetical," Aqua said, looking the other way. "And you've made it perfectly clear who you prefer."
"You mean Eris? But I don't even know her! Oh!" I paused and smiled mischievously. "I get it… are you jealous?"
"Huh?!"
Aqua spun around abruptly. Her ocean-blue eyes shone intensely under the light of the streetlamps.
"Did I hear that right?" she practically spat the question. "Are you suggesting that a perfect and beautiful goddess like me could be jealous of a hikikomori like you?"
"If that's not it, then why are you so upset?"
"I'm not upset about what you said," she answered. "I'm upset that everyone prefers Eris. It's like no one values my presence in this world." Suddenly Aqua's face took on a melancholic expression. "Many people don't even believe me when I tell them I'm a goddess. Not even Darkness and Megumin."
Darkness and Megumin? Ah, I think those are the names of her party members.
"Well, you have to admit that the idea of a goddess walking among mortals is hard for anyone to believe."
In fact, if I hadn't met Aqua when I arrived in the afterlife, if she'd told me she was a goddess I probably would've thought she was crazy.
"Still, it's not fair! It's not fair that everyone in this world prefers Eris!"
She was throwing another one of her tantrums. She really did act like a spoiled child.
Suddenly I stepped behind her and took her by the waist, wrapping my arms around her.
"Ah! W-What are you doing?"
"Not everyone prefers Goddess Eris," I said over her shoulder. "I prefer you."
And then I kissed her on the cheek.
"Waaaah!" the goddess squealed, her face completely red. "H-How could you do something like that in public?! Someone might see us!"
"So? It's not like we're doing anything improper."
Still holding her by the waist, I pressed my body even closer against hers, letting her feel my body heat through the fabric of her blue outfit. Aqua stared at me with wide eyes, but she didn't try to escape my hold.
Having her so close, all I could think about was kissing her again. This time on the lips, which were now right in front of me and seemed to be calling me.
Aqua's breathing had started to quicken. I could tell by the way her chest kept rising and falling.
"K-Kaizer… wait… that hard thing I'm feeling against my butt… d-don't tell me you brought your sword."
"Nope. Definitely not my sword."
"Waaah! Put that thing away right now! We're in a public place!"
Was she really that worried someone might see us?
Needless to say, I did no such thing. Instead, I subtly lifted the miniskirt of her outfit and began rubbing my erection against her now unprotected ass.
Ah, so soft! I love it!
"Kaizer… you really are a pervert. Are you seriously thinking of taking me in the middle of the street?"
Aqua moved her arm backward, trying to push me away with her elbow. But we both knew it was only half-hearted resistance. The Goddess of Water was no defenseless woman. With the brute strength she possessed, if she'd really wanted to she could have sent me flying with a single punch.
I took her hand and guided it to my crotch. Aqua let out a moan as her fingers closed firmly around my cock.
With such firmness that even through the thick fabric of my pants I could feel her slender, agile fingers.
I took the opportunity to hug her tighter, making her firm ass press against my crotch.
"Kaizer… this is crazy… stop right now," Aqua whispered, my cock still in her grasp.
"Shhh… relax," I told her. "From this angle it just looks like we're hugging."
People continued walking past us without paying much attention. I suppose to them we were just a couple of lovers showing affection.
I slid a hand under her outfit and began caressing the soft surface of her left cheek.
"Besides, how do you expect me to control myself when I have this beautiful ass within permanent reach? I mean, if you at least wore panties… it wouldn't be so hard to restrain myself. Do you go around like this because you're dying to get fucked?" I leaned toward her and whispered against the back of her neck. "Corrupted goddess…"
I wanted to devour her plump, juicy lips right then and there.
"S-Speak for yourself!" Aqua protested. "What will happen to my reputation as a goddess if people see me like this with a perverted hikikomori?!"
Didn't she just say the problem was that no one recognized her as a goddess in the first place?
Bah. To hell with this.
I took her by the wrist and started walking.
"Come on. I just got an idea."
"WAH! H-Hey! Wait! Where are you taking me?! Stop pulling me! Eeeeey!"
"You wanted attention?" My lips curved into a mischievous smile. "Then you'll get it."
