Two hours passed by.

<<Time out, Jess. Please gimme a break...>>

Right now, we were practicing our teamwork, where I ignited the fuel Jess summoned. Since she relentlessly created one sphere after another, I ended up having to kick up my front legs left and right just like a Cossack dance, and I nearly pulled a muscle in my pork shoulder. Dead tired, I sat on the spot.

“Huh? Is that it?” Jess commanded several spheres to float around her as she began walking towards me. “Your stamina is surprisingly lacking, Mister Pig.”

I’m a former scrawny four-eyes. Don’t expect so much from me, please. <<It’s already noon. I think it’s about time we rest for a while.>>

“Okay, that sounds like a plan!” With her magic, Jess shot off the spheres. All of them struck the distant wooden ogur dummy we’d prepared in advance. She raised her hand swiftly to face the dummy and roaring flames consumed it.

Seems that this beautiful maiden is the type you must never offend.

We then moved to the vacant space outside the training grounds, a sunny meadow with a brick wall in the background, and began eating our prepared lunch. A cool breeze fanned our perspiration.

Jess helped herself merrily to sandwiches made with relatively hard bread and fillings such as ham. As for me, I sat by her side and greedily devoured numerous apples.

“Mister Pig...” Hearing her call, I looked up. “Practicing together with you like this is really fun.”

<<...I see. That’s great to hear.>>

Jess took a big bite of her sandwich and swallowed. “If this weren’t preparation for a battle, I’m sure that it would have been even more fun.”

Though it was a casual conversation, I could keenly feel Jess’s wish for peace. <<Agreed. Hey, are there any kind of spells that you want to practice after the war ends?>>

Her cheeks were stuffed with bread as she looked at me with surprise. “Ey fuhell hu harn hu warff inku ey hoowa—”

<<You can swallow first.>>

Audibly gulping down her food, Jess repeated, “A spell to turn you back into a human, of course.”

...I see. <<In that case, you’ll probably have to work hard at practicing magic, huh?>>

“Yes. But I’ll persevere. There are so many things that I want to do with you after you transform back into a human.”

<<For example...?>> I cautiously prompted.

With a shy smile, Jess looked away. “For example...I’d like you to pat my head.”

Ahhh. I—

No, I’m relieved that her answer was so sweet. For a moment there, I was worried that she might make some kind of indecent request.

“I-I won’t do anything obscene! You’re such a perv,” she huffed.

While she berated me, I looked down at my split hooves. With feet like these, I couldn’t even pat her head. She was always the one patting and hugging me, whereas I couldn’t do anything for her.

As I cast my gaze down, in the corner of my vision, I spotted Jess turning to me. She was smiling. “Sorry... This isn’t the right time for this conversation, is it? Let’s
