## Chapter 1355 – Friends

“I have become a god, little Elise.”

Holiness is imbued in my voice.

“…”

Elise’s face turned bright red as she looked at me, her mouth agape with shock, unable to form words. I’d react the same way if someone told me they’d become a god… But, more than anything.

I wanted to see that reddened face.

But anyway… Elise’s changed appearance caught my eye.

She wasn’t drastically different from before, but her aura had shifted slightly. Her signature expressionless face had a cute quality, but it had matured a bit. Compared to the last time I saw her. Yes. She had definitely changed.

She seemed a bit taller, and her red hair was longer as well. Her lustrous hair looked incredibly well-maintained. She probably took good care of it.

“S-Saint… You’ve b-b-become a g-g-god…! How could such a thing…!”

Elise finally spoke, sounding utterly incredulous. I just flapped my wings as I looked at her face. Should I turn off the glowing eyes for now?

Glowing eyes off.

“Ah, the glowing eyes are off! M-More importantly! More importantly, Saint!!!”
“Hmm?”
“W-What on earth are all these people gathered here!!!”

ㅡFwoosh!

Elise pointed behind her.

“An angel-nim!”
“Sister Elise! Sister Elise!”
“The two of them are having a holy conversation!!!”

ㅡFlap.

People were already setting up banners, as if they’d made them in advance. The banners said “Elise.” And some people had even made signs and were waving them around like crazy. Of course, the signs also said “Elise.”

It was understandable that she’d be shocked to see such a spectacle directed at her.

“Why are they acting like this!! Saint!! I can’t believe this is happening! What could possibly make people act like this!!!”

Elise’s face was bright red as she shouted, looking like she was dying of embarrassment.

“Elise.”

But it was only natural.

An angel had descended.
Anyone would go into a frenzy in this situation.

“Behold my form as a god.”
“I mean, that form!!! Those wings and glowing eyes! And the halo above your head and the aura around you! Why are you scattering hearts everywhere!!! And above all, what’s with the ‘god’ thing!!!”
“Elise.”
“Don’t talk like a celestial being…! Please!!! Please explain this situation to me!!!”

Finally, Elise started tearing at her hair.

ㅡShalalalang!

And behind her, bards and dancers sang.

“The faithful nun has finally met the angel!”
“Met the angel!”
“It’s such a beautiful meeting!”
“Meeting!”

Elise was simply dumbfounded and embarrassed by the sight. Seeing her trying to find a hole to hide in, I worried that she might actually die of shame.

“Elise.”

ㅡThud.

I grabbed Elise’s shoulder and spoke.

“Look. Everyone is.”
“…!”
“Is looking at you.”
“K-Kuaaak…!”

Kuaaak?

“Divine Friend! Divine Friend! Divine Friend!”
“Divine Friend! Divine Friend! Divine Friend!”
“Divine Friend! Divine Friend! Divine Friend!”

People chanted “Divine Friend.” They were already cheering as they looked at Elise. The meeting of a descended angel and… a faithful nun. Nothing could be more interesting than this. Today’s events would probably become a song and spread all over the world.

I whispered that fact into Elise’s ear.

“Elise. Today’s events will become a legend. Not just in Krasheim. Our reunion… has already become a song. It will spread all over the world and be talked about for hundreds, even thousands of years.”
“A-Aah…! Kuuh…!”

ㅡThud.

Elise, whose face had reached peak redness, lowered her head. Then, her shoulders began to tremble.

She was extremely embarrassed. I liked it.

Honestly, I came all the way here just for this. Only for this. I flew all the way here to capture this moment in my sight. Do you think I’m doing this on purpose? Do you think I deliberately created this mess?

Yes!

That’s right! I did it all on purpose! I intended all of this! I couldn’t resist these feelings when I saw Elise! I deliberately! Deliberately cornered Elise!

“Hahahahahahahahaha!!!”

Who dares to criticize me! Who can stop me…! No one! No one can stop me! Even if countless years pass! Even if the raging waves erode the rocks! No one can stop this Kim Kat!

“Today is a day full of blessings!!! Good people!!!”

I put my hand on Elise’s shoulder and waved my arm to bless the people.

“Sister Elise-nim! Sister Elise-nim! Sister Elise-nim!”
“Sister Elise-nim! Sister Elise-nim! Sister Elise-nim!”
“Sister Elise-nim! Sister Elise-nim! Sister Elise-nim!”

ㅡSpin spin.

Dancers who had approached at some point were holding hands and spinning around us.

“Lise! Lise! Elise!”
“Lise! Lise! Elise!”
“Lise! Lise! Elise!”

While chanting Elise’s name.

ㅡTremble tremble.

Elise was just trembling with her head bowed.

“Good! Everyone together! Lise! Lise! Elise!”
“Lise! Lise! Elise!”
“Lise! Lise! Elise!”

Lise! Lise! Elise!

“The beautiful!! Red-haired nun!!!”
“Is favored by the angel-nim!!!”
“Ah! Why on earth does the angel-nim favor Sister Elise!”
“Because her name is!!”

ㅡChwarararang.

“Lise! Lise! Elise!”
“Lise! Lise! Elise!”
“Lise! Lise! Elise!”

The bards are very skilled.
Nice background music.

“Now! Elise!! Everyone wants you!!! Hurry up and show them your face! And announce to the world that you are my Divine Friend!!!!”

ㅡShake shake!

I grabbed Elise’s shoulders and shook her!

“…”

Elise, whose face had turned as red as a persimmon, was just shaking according to my movements, her eyes crossed as if she had lost her mind.

“Elise!!! I have come!!! I, who became a god to see you, have come!!! So pull yourself together and say it!!! Say Divine Friend!!!”
“A-Ah! Aah…! Kuaaak…!”

Elise, groaning in shame, covered her face with her hands.

ㅡPoof!

As if steam had burst out, a holy explosion occurred, and she was about to collapse… No, what is this!!! Could it be that her embarrassment exceeded its limit and she fainted!!!

ㅡFwoosh!

I immediately caught Elise, who was about to collapse!

“Elise!!!”
“Sister Elise-nim!!!!”
“H-Huhuhuk!!”
“What is happening!”

Despair descended in an instant!

“Recovery!!! We need recovery!!!”
“Everyone be quiet!! I will now heal Sister Elise!!!”

Silencing the crowd, I poured my blessing onto Elise!

ㅡHwaaaak!

The poured heart particles covered Elise’s entire body!!!

“Wake up, Elise…!”

To faint from this much shame…!
The path of training is still long!!!

As I was pouring out blessings.

“Kuhuk…”

Elise slowly opened her eyes.

“My Divine Friend Elise has opened her eyesaaaaaaaat!!!”

With the heart of Rafiki, who lifted Simba in The Lion King…! I lifted Elise high to bask in the sunlight!!

“She’s awake! She’s awake!!”
“Hoorayyyyyy!”
“Hoorayyyyyyyyyyyy!!”

The people watching were almost in a state of witnessing a miracle and praised me. And. Amidst such a commotion.

“Saint…”

Elise called me quietly and then.

“N-Now… I c-can’t take it anymore!! Please! Please go somewhere else!!! Please!!! I can’t endure it anymore!!!”

She cried out as if wailing.

“Hehehe, Elise. Are you very embarrassed?”
“How can I not be!!! Saint-nim!!! I really don’t know what to do with you anymore!!!”

Ah, it’s that bad.

ㅡWhoosh.

I lightly stepped on the air and shot my body into the sky.

“Then everyone!!! See you next time!!!! Goodbyeeeeeeeeee!!”
“Ooooooooooooooo!”
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!!”

I bid farewell to the familiar people and crossed the sky.

“Heyyayayayayayayay! Heyyayayayay!”
“Kuaaaaaaaaaak!”

Elise screamed in shock.

* * *

I landed on a quiet lake shore.

“F-Flight! Such flight!!! I can’t believe it!!!”

The moment I put Elise down, she rushed at me with a bright red face.

“And! This is also surprising, but what was that earlier, Saint-nim!!!”
“You mean calling those people to celebrate?”
“I can’t understand why they’re celebrating!!!”
“Our reunion is something to celebrate.”
“Even so, it’s definitely not something that completely unrelated strangers should celebrate as if they’re holding a festival!!!”
“No. Elise. I was that happy. So much so that I wanted to hold a grand festival.”
“Isn’t that!!!! Too much!!!!!”

ㅡThump thump!

Elise shouted, pounding her chest as if she was frustrated to death. If this evolves a little more, she’ll become Lady Isvant.

ㅡThump thump!

Elise, who had been pounding her chest like that, now pounded my chest and shouted.

“Do you think it makes sense! Do you think it’s a reasonable thing to do! What on earth did you do to those people! How did you make me so noticed!!!”
“I didn’t really do anything. Elise. I’ve already become a god. It’s natural for people to be enthusiastic.”
“A real god wouldn’t do such a thing!!!”
“Oh dear. Elise is too excited. Calm down, little Elise.”
“Kuaaaaaaaaaak! Saint-niiiiim!!!”
“Kekekekekekekekek!!!”

I laughed loudly in front of Elise, who was screaming like crazy.

As expected, Elise is Elise. Nothing had changed.

“Saint-nim! Saint-nim, I’ve said it several times!!! Shouting so loudly in front of people is!!! Not a good thing! Not a good thing!!!”

Elise was almost breathing fire as she tore at her hair.

“Hehehe, of course.”
“Yes?”
“Of course, I know it all.”
“Ah, you knew and did that…!”

Elise pointed at me with a very shocked expression.

“Yes. I knew and did it. Elise… you know what?”
“What…?”
“Everyone in Krasheim…”

I approached Elise again and whispered in her ear.

“Has come to know you. There’s even a song about you.”
“…!”

Shock.

“W-What am I supposed to do now! Not only the residents of Krasheim! All the people who evacuated because of the demons…! Participated in that bizarre festival and sang songs in my name!!!”

That’s right.

Krasheim currently had a population that had ballooned.

“Everyone will know me, and they’ll live chanting songs about the Divine Friend and my name!!! So how am I supposed to live now!”

Elise, wailing, was as cute as ever.

Really.

It’s fun to tease her.

“Of course, Elise has to endure it and live on.”
“Is that something you should say! Why do I have to endure it!!!”
“Uh-huh. Elise. Are you acting without decorum in front of a god?”
“Wh-What!”

That’s right.

I am a god now.

“Elise. I told you. I’ve become a god. The one in front of you now is. God Kim Kat.”
“…!”

Only then did Elise widen her eyes.

“Hoo, hoo, hooo…!”

Then, she took a deep breath.

“Saint-nim. I’ve been… in a series of such shocking events since earlier that I haven’t had time to confirm it, but.”

She asked me with a suspicious attitude.

“D-Did you really… ascend…?”
“I just flew all the way here. And can’t you see these wings?”
“…”

ㅡFlap.

I flapped my wings once.

But Elise couldn’t believe it at all. No. Her face said she couldn’t believe it. Perhaps it was because it far exceeded her common sense, and her mind had stopped.

I understand well enough.
I wouldn’t believe it either if I heard this somewhere else.

I have to make her understand gradually.

“A-Anyway!”

Elise coughed as if trying to change the subject.

“It’s been a very long time since I last saw you, but… Saint-nim hasn’t changed at all! No! You’ve become even more mischievous! You’ve become unbelievably grotesque!”

Seriously.

The way she shouts while saying that is so cute.

“Really?”
“Yes! And the letter I sent! Saint-nim! I’m talking about the letter, the letter!”

That topic is off limits!!!

“W-Well, Elise! You seem to have changed quite a bit!!!”
“Y-Yes?”

The moment I changed the subject.

“Th-That’s… well…”

Elise began to twist her long hair.

“You definitely said you’d become an inhuman beauty when we last parted…!!!”
“Ah, th-that’s…!”
“You’ve become an inhuman beauty, Elise!!!”
“…!”
