Volume 1 Chapter 6 Training, End
"Well then, the training is over. You did a great job~♪."
"Ah, thank you..."
Elk bows his head to Pipina.
Two thousand years have passed, and the training is finished.
Pipina smiles brightly at Elk.
"I had soooo much fun. Thank you, Elk!"
"Yes. I also had fun... no, it wasn't fun at all."
"Wow, so honest!"
The training was so intense it felt like it could break the mind.
Two thousand years.
He trained his body and Telekinesis like crazy.
Now, Elk's Telekinesis level is...
"Yup, yup. You've gotten stronger!"
"Yeah, but I only managed to hit you once, Pipina..."
"No, no, no. It's totally impossible for you, a creation, to hit me, the creator of everything! Even if all of humanity teamed up against me, I could defeat them before I even yawn. But you managed to hit me... honestly, I'm surprised~."
"...T-thank you."
Elk feels shy and scratches his cheek.
"With your current skills, you won't lose to anyone."
"......"
"You should be prouder, you know? Normally, when people meet me, they ask for 'powerful skills,' but you trained your Telekinesis. I've seen many people over a long time, but you're the first like this. Really, it was fun."
"Pipina..."
"Well, it's time to say goodbye. I'm going to send your soul back to reality. That way, your body will reflect all the 'experiences' you've had... it might hurt a little, but just bear with it."
"Okay, I understand."
"Right now, Elk's body is in a small village east of the Deo Kingdom. It's Emmy (Emma-chan)'s home."
"Emma. Emma, huh... Is Emma doing well?"
"Yeah. It seems like they made her deal with Elk's body, and right after that, she quit the Duke's family. She knew Elk wasn't completely dead, so she took you back home to take care of you."
"...Emma."
Elk felt overwhelmed.
He was touched by Emma's kindness.
Pipina nodded in agreement.
"She's a good girl, right? Now that she's 16, she's the prettiest in the village. She's getting marriage proposals, but it seems like she's turning them all down."
"......"
"Maybe you should wake up soon and give her a good morning kiss?"
"I-I won't!! ...Anyway, I need to check a lot of things when I wake up and think about what to do next."
"What to do next?"
"Repay the 'debt' to the Duke's family."
"Oh, I have a good idea for that!"
"?"
"Hehe. As a thank you for entertaining this god Pipina! I can't do anything too big, but... okay, it's done. Something interesting will happen a few days after you return to the surface, so look forward to it!"
"...?"
Pipina smiled brightly and placed her hand on Elk's cheek.
"Well then, take care───mwah."
"Huh!?"
"Hehe, a god's kiss. Bye-bye~♪."
When Pipina lightly kissed Elk's cheek───Elk's body started to melt away.
Elk screamed.
"Pipina!! Thank you so much───."
Pipina waved goodbye, still smiling, until Elk's consciousness faded away.

"──────ugh."
When he woke up, a sharp pain shot through his whole body.
"Ugh, it hurts...!?"
It felt like his bones, muscles, and organs were being stretched painfully.
The memories etched in his soul were reflecting in his body.
Once the pain ended, Elk sighed and slowly sat up.
"Wow... this is amazing."
He was slim and muscular.
Not overly built. Maybe he just had a body that didn't gain weight easily.
He wasn't skinny either. He had a well-defined body, packed with muscles. His abs were visible, and he had biceps too.
He was wearing a thin shirt and pants. It looked like pajamas.
In his pocket, there was a small bag.
"What's this?"
When he opened the bag, there were white coins inside.
"W-What is this... platinum coins!? This is worth a thousand gold coins, isn't it!?"
Inside the bag, there was a small piece of paper.
When he opened it, it said:
'God's service~♪ You'll definitely need this, so don't use it yet, okay?'
It was written in cute, round letters.
Elk smiled wryly... and then the letter caught fire.
Elk put the bag of platinum coins into his pajama pocket.
"Ugh, I'm back to reality, huh?"
When he opened the window, bright sunlight poured in. A soft breeze followed. The wind carried a green scent... thoughts of a rural village came to mind.
Then, he heard a loud crash.
When he turned around, there was someone there.
"...S-Sir, Elk."
"...Emma."
It was Emma.
Her long braid was undone, and her chestnut brown hair fell to the middle of her back.
Her face was small, and her big eyes were now wet with tears.
Emma was crying and jumped into Elk's arms.
"Sir Elk!! I-I..."
"Emma. Thank you so much... Emma, Emma."
Elk hugged Emma tightly.
She smelled sweet and soft. Maybe because she had a bigger chest, Emma's body pressed against Elk's chest.
Elk gently wiped the tears from Emma's eyes.
"Wow, you've grown up, Emma."
"It's been 6 years. Of course, I would grow... hic."
"Then, you're 16 now... haha, time really flies."
"Really, really... u, uuu."
"Emma. Tell me all about it. I want to hear your stories."
"Okay. Okay...!"
Elk decided to slowly talk while patting Emma's head.
