Our Goddess - Ch 6 - Rendezvous
Akari stood before the imposing double doors, her legs shaking. She tugged on the sleeve of her white and red outfit, the uniform of a Shinto shrine maiden, and thought, _This is stupid. Why did I think it was a good idea to wear my miko outfit to this...
Our Goddess - Ch 10 - Bribery
Two more days went by in a flash. Everyone in the shrine, be they spirit or human, was busy preparing for the festival. Akari was on the hook for anything involving talking to other humans or traveling into town and the other girls helped around the...
Our Goddess - Ch 13 - The Festival, part 1
_It's here. Today's the day,_ Akari thought again. She'd been thinking it all morning: while she got dressed before dawn, as she ate a hearty breakfast courtesy of Usagi, and as she went through her last-minute checks to make sure everything was ready...
Our Goddess - Ch 11 - Competition
The competition had begun. In less than two days, the three major spirits and Akari would convene to present their inarizushi to Inara. Then the goddess would pick a favorite and lavish love and attention on the winner. Or at least that was the hope,...
Our Goddess - Ch 8 - Welcome
It didn't take long for Akari to reach her absolute limit of 39 crunches. Her abs ached and burned and she mentally cursed Inu for bringing that suffering upon her, even if it had been at her own request. But she _was_ feeling a bit of a post-exercise...
Our Goddess - Ch 9 - Tests
On the morning of the third day of Akari's wild new life, she woke up feeling refreshed and ready for a productive day. She hopped out of bed and approached the dresser that held most of her clothes. The top of the dresser also served as a display area...
Our Goddess - Ch 24 - Intervention
Everyone in the bathing room went completely still as Inara stepped inside. The only sound was the occasional gentle splash of a drop of water falling from a wet body to the tile floor. Hebi quickly filled the silence with the rhythmic sound of...
Our Goddess - Ch 33 - The Day After
"And you handled the meeting with Tetsuhiro?" Inara asked. She was seated at the kitchen table, looking unusually frazzled for a goddess. Her hair was a mess, and there were dark patches under her eyes. Hebi nodded. "Yes, Boss. I texted and emailed...
Our Goddess - Ch 32 - Revelation
"Oh! She says it went really well," Akari announced to the three other women in the kitchen. She was sitting at the dinner table, dressed in a cute skirt and blouse combo as if she was ready to go out somewhere. "Who?" Inu asked. In contrast, she...
Our Goddess - Ch 49 - Teach a Mouse to Cook...
> Sorry for the delay on this chapter. My writing motivation/creativity has been at bedrock levels lately for various IRL reasons, and I really care about the conclusion of Our Goddess, so I don't want to do a low-quality job. I'm going to take my...
Our Goddess - Ch 35 - Aki Matsuri, Part 1
"I can't believe we're going ahead with this festival plan," Inu said in a huff. Her dinner plate was already licked clean, but the other women were still eating. Except for Inara, who wasn't present. "I promise I'm fully recovered," Akari pouted. She...
Our Goddess - Ch 26 - Give and Take
The Jinsha-mori Shrine's reputation was growing. A few more people showed up to the latest weekly service, and more and more people were making the short trek to the shrine on a daily basis as part of their _hairei_, or personal worship. But that...
