''...''

It is a bit lonely.

Ever since Luna started her personal coaching thingy, my lovable wives have been busy with their training. Me? I do train, too, but fucking myself for a while does get old, and there is a limit to my divine power, which means I can't endlessly pump out nuclear-level bullets.

In simpler terms, I've run out of training capital.

If I still could see mana, I would be able to strain my brain a bit and create more stuff, but alas. After turning into a literal baby and growing up from that point, I realized that the blue stuff that I used to see disappeared.

Instead, my body was filled with divine power.

At first, the transition felt... strange, but the more I experimented with it, the more I noticed the increase in efficiency. Should I say my divinity seems more free?

In the trial world, we could still use mana for some reason, and I thought it was great for utility, but it's quite clear now that stacking two types of energy is not the greatest option.

I still have a long way to go, though. Maybe I should rest a bit to recover energy...

With that, I hug my clone, the same one I just used to play self-BDSM a moment ago and close my eyes. The massive boobs of this model provide my face with a warm and soft sensation, quickly pulling me to sleep.

When I inevitably wake up after a while, I find the breasts I've been enjoying have been replaced. They're still big, but... the smell is totally different.

''...Tina?''

''It's still early. Rest a bit more.''

Tina's gentle voice tickles my ear as she slowly combs through my hair. The whole experience seems almost surreal. I can vaguely hear the others conversing in the background, but...

But what about my clone...?

----------------------------------------

It turns out that the little cat Anna has been occupying Sylvia V2 all the while we are sleeping. I wonder how she can breathe when her face is that deep inside the cleavage.

Either way, I've somehow slept my way to the next day, so my body feels quite refreshed. Maybe I will encounter a lucky event today.

My morning, as usual, consists of cuddling, eating, and relaxing. It's a shame that Anna and Tina have gone out early to train, but oh well. When it is lunchtime, the locals actually invite us to a meal outside, and we take it right away.

Although the druids are mostly vegans, their food actually tastes good, so that's all that matters. I don't mind chewing on grass if they make me cum while eating it.

Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.

That's not an exaggeration. Since our bodies have recently returned to their original forms, I've been wearing the bondage thing underneath my clothes again.

Let's hope no one pays attention to it...

''Sylvia.''

''Oh, Sariel. What did you and Luna talk about?''

''Nothing much.''

''Is that so?''

I guess it's nothing.

Sariel is a natural monarch, so she doesn't really try to get along with people like ordinary folks do. She must have a reason to initiate the conversation with Luna... but alright.

After the meal ends, Luna herself summons us for an 'important talk.'

''Ahem. First of all, it has been an honor teaching all of you until now.'' She says with a smile. ''I'm glad I could be of help to you.''

''Huh? Are you going somewhere?''

''Well... yes. For a while.''

Luna then places her right hand on her chest, sighing.

''Embarrassingly, myself, as of now, holds nowhere near the prowess needed to nurture talented individuals such as yourselves. So, I will humbly leave it to someone more qualified than me.''

''No, you've been a huge help...''

I trail off, mostly because of Luna's pleading eyes. Her clenched fist seems unwilling to retreat, but her expression says otherwise.

''Either way... it is someone you know, so I hope you can have a comfortable time cultivating strength.''

''Who is—''

Liana stops mid-sentence. She, as well as the rest of us who have some level of divinity, all realize it at the same time—something is coming.

Something powerful... and familiar.

Behind Luna, who is heaving out another sigh, a golden gate manifests itself. From beyond the dimension, an imposing yet majestically beautiful woman steps out, landing her heels on the wooden floor with a 'clack—!'

The soft ceiling light of the house hits her silver locks of hair, reflecting gleams of mellow gold, while her blood-red eyes immediately scan the surroundings.

''E-Eva?!''

Even I am surprised. Eva has never told me about her descending into the mortal realm again before. The two of them—Eva and Luna—exchange some confirmations before the latter turns to the portal.

''Then... I will see you all again. Hopefully... soon.''

''T-Take care!''

Perhaps overwhelmed by Eva's divine presence itself, it takes a while for me to wave back at Luna. But why is she... oh.

If Eva is here, it means that she is not maintaining the world's climate anymore. So Luna nominates herself for that...? To replace Eva so that the 'healthy' Goddess of War can stay here to teach us?

...I'll have to thank her properly later.

For now, though.

''It has been a long time, Eva.''

''Indeed.''

When I extend my hand, Eva naturally grabs it. Then, the others begin to scurry over to greet the celebrity.

''Mother Goddess, please sign my tail for me!''

''Anastasia. I am sorry I could not properly teach you as I have promised.''

''I don't mind that at all! You must be busy or something.''

''I was.''

...What was that about signing on her tail? Are you guys going to gloss over it?

Either way, Eva being here signifies a significant development in the scene—hopefully, for the better. As she herself says, she will stay here for a while to personally guide us and to retrieve the hidden fragments of divinity directly.

Suddenly having a whole goddess on our roster is... overwhelming, to say the least.

After opening a Q&A session for a bit, Eva then excuses herself and drags me outside.

''What's wrong, Eva?''

''...Ahem. I might need to inform you of something important.''

''O... kay?''

For some reason, looking at Eva's slightly evasive eyes, I have a feeling as though she is getting embarrassed. I don't know why. It shouldn't be that way, though, since there is hardly anything mortal she considers... oh.

''Is it something related to sex?''

''...!''

I blurted it out, but it does seem my guess is correct. What in the world is going on...?

Nevertheless, Eva quickly gathers herself together.

''...Let me begin by stating this—you and I share a deep connection. Deeper than any Saint before you since their power was granted, but yours is maintained by me.'' She says. ''Inevitably, it allows us to enjoy a more profound bond.''

''O-Okay?''

''Moreover, I am a full-fledged deity, recognized by the absolute one.''

''Erm... what are you trying to say...?''

''...Think about your divinity.''

What? Is there something to my divinity?

I thought I was just a whore enjoying high-quality semen... oh.

''Are you saying... that you'll have sex with me...?!''
