Volume 9 Chapter 9 Goddess And Elk
"Mm~?"
"Goddess Pipina?"
In the sky on the way to the Galatinne Kingdom, Pipina stopped.
Piasola, Lily, Lolofaldo, and Rapucel looked confused.
But Pipina noticed... something was coming.
"Eh, no way..."
"...it's here."
"I knew it."
"...It's a Trial, isn't it?"
The 4 also realized.
Something was approaching at high speed.
A pitch-black crow suddenly stopped in front of Pipina and the others.
"...Pipina."
"Oh, Elk! Hehe, it's been a while~."
Pipina waved her hand with a smile.
Elk looked at Pipina sadly... then suddenly furrowed his brow.
"Hm? What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
"Wait... Pipina?"
"Hm? What, what is it?"
Elk stared at Pipina... speaking as if he couldn't believe what he saw.
"Wait. Who are 'you'?"
"Huh?"
"You're not Pipina. What are you?"
"No, no, what are you talking about?"
Pipina laughed as if she didn't understand.
Elk turned to Piasola.
"Hey, who is this person!?"
"Who? Ahaha. It's Goddess Pipina, right?"
"Lolofaldo!!"
"Are you okay?"
"You there!!"
"Goddess Pipina..."
"Rapucel!!"
"It seems like you've lost your mind."
The priests also didn't notice.
Elk was sure.
"This person is... not Pipina!! What did you all 'summon'?!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Hey, what do you mean I'm not Pipina? I'm Pipina!!"
"No, you're... what are you?"
"Hmph, Elk, you're weird!! I don't get it anymore."
"......"
This was nonsense.
Anyway, this person was not Pipina. Elk concluded.
She was different from the priest who got a cheat skill and left immediately.
Elk had spent years with Pipina. There was no way Elk could mistake Pipina.
"Elk. If you keep saying strange things, I'll punish you!!"
"Go ahead. You're not Pipina!! Don't tarnish Pipina any further!!"
Elk spread his arms and released his Telekinesis.
* * *
"Stop!"
"Why?"
"Eh?"
He restrained Pipina with Telekinesis. But... Pipina calmly approached with a smile.
Elk's Telekinesis didn't work on her.
Startled, Elk saw Pipina point her index finger at him.
"Take that!"
"!?"
A terrifying shock hit Elk.
Floating in the air, Elk was slammed to the ground at an incredible speed.
"Ah, ugh...!?"
Thanks to the full-body protection from Telekinesis, he managed to defend himself. But it pierced through Elk's defense.
He coughed up blood──he took serious damage.
Then, Pipina landed.
"Honestly. To doubt me, Elk is such a bad boy!!"
"This...!"
Elk used Telekinesis to pull all the trees around him from the ground and sent them flying towards Pipina.
But Pipina just pointed her index finger, and all the trees stopped in mid-air.
"Useless. Hehe, all the skills were given to you by me, right? There's no way those skills can hurt me!"
"Ugh... then!!"
Elk unfolded the blades in both hands. He rushed towards Pipina with 'Terpsichora: Telekinesis Dance' and tried to slash her throat.
However, the blades cut through the air.
Pipina moved just a few centimeters and dodged the blades.
She completely saw through his attack.
"This, this, this...!!"
"Mm~... yawn."
Pipina was yawning while dodging.
It felt like he couldn't hit her at all.
The difference in skill was huge. Even with 80 percent of his power, he felt he couldn't win.
Elk stopped his attack and took a step back to create some distance.
"This, take thisss!!"
He sent out all his 'will' to stop her movement.
"Oh?"
For just a moment, Pipina stopped completely.
But then, she started walking again as if nothing had happened.
She stopped right in front of Elk... and he couldn't move with his right arm still extended.
Instead, he was stopped by her Telekinesis.
"Well, then."
"......!!"
"Elk, you live in the kingdom ahead, right?"
"...!!"
"As a punishment... I'm going to destroy that place."
"!?"
"If something important is gone, that would be a really big 'punishment,' right?"
"O... you...!"
"Well then... have a nice trip~♪"
"───!!"
Elk was blown away by her Telekinesis.

In front of the main gate of Galatine Royal Academy,
all the students of the academy had gathered.
Poseidon, dressed in battle gear, stood before the entire student body.
"I'll say this only once... no one dies. This is the top priority, no matter what!!"
He had none of his usual playful demeanor.
All the teachers were also wearing battle gear.
Adventurers, mercenaries, and knights in the kingdom were ready to welcome Adrazione.
If they come, let them come.
Galatine Kingdom was fully prepared for battle.
"...Hmm?"
Poseidon noticed something.
Something was flying towards them.
"Everyone, prepare for batt───..."
Something crashed into the main gate.
It was a boy dressed in black.
All the students saw it.
The first to scream was─── Yato.
"...Elk!?"
The battered Elk crashed into the academy's main gate and lost consciousness.
