Returned from Another World, Earth Turned Out to Be Quite the Fantasy Too. Also, Losing Heroines, Stop Looking This Way. - V2 Chapter 52
Chapter 52: “Isn’t it a bit late for that now?”
In the Minazuki family’s reception room, a goddess dressed in a modest yet elegant outfit reminiscent of a shrine maiden’s attire, featuring red and white colors and made from fine fabric, descended amidst a divine light.
She wore a thin feathered robe that draped from her arms to her back, and with each movement, a bell chimed softly.
“Good day to everyone. I am Amaterasu-Omikami.”
“………”
“………”
“………”
“………”
“………”
“………”
Silence followed her introduction.
Moments before, Amaterasu, who had been wearing casual sweatpants, made a hasty retreat from the room with a shout of “Wait a sec,” only to reappear as if transforming into her divine form, acting as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened.
Natsuki and the members of the Minazuki family exchanged looks that seemed to say, “Aren’t you going to say something?” “No way,” they communicated without words.
“As some of you might know, I am the sun goddess. Hence, I might appear a bit more divine, perhaps by an extra thirty percent, but I hope you won’t mind.”
Natsuki grimaced at her words.
It seems that Kazuto was acquainted with Amaterasu. The supreme sun goddess sure was shocked to be seen in a jersey covered in lint balls by a boy she had a slight interest in. The Minazuki family, meeting her for the first time, awkwardly tried to continue the conversation.
Even Ginko, who usually had a sharp retort, was speechless, and Koume couldn’t hide her astonishment, saying “There’s no way.”
The Minazuki family was in an even more difficult situation. The head of the family, Kaya, couldn’t bring herself to point out anything because the other party was, after all, the sun goddess. Seiun was bewildered at the thought that Amaterasu might be infatuated with a middle school student, while Unkai was so shocked that she nearly lost consciousness.
Those who weren’t present, like Miyako and Mio, would probably be envious of missing this scene.
“I also greet the Minazuki family. I come here as a land god on behalf of my father, Izanagi-no-Mikoto. Please take good care of me.”
“Ah, yes.”
“There’s no need to be nervous. I am the Sun Goddess. It brings me the greatest joy to be by your side and help you. If you have any troubles, think of me as a relative you can rely on.”
“Thank you very much.”
“Ufufu. There’s no need for that. I am Amaterasu-Omikami. Working for the people is my joy.”
(Should someone point out the obvious? And if she could act this properly, why didn’t she do it from the start? Make us believe in gods a little! And Kazuto is pretty amazing, isn’t he? Smiling through all this.)
The Minazuki family struggled to maintain their composure, their smiles strained, while Natsuki wondered if it was okay to interrupt.
But the urge to interrupt was overwhelming.
Just then,
“DAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
Koume couldn’t hold back any longer.
“You useless goddess! It’s too late for excuses now, you idiot!”
Koume exploded, voicing what everyone was feeling, leaving Natsuki and the others feeling relieved.

Tsukuyomi-sensei: “Huh, I have a feeling my sister is doing something silly somewhere!”
Susanoo: “Feels like my sister’s up to something dumb again. Oh well!”
