With Goki's help, the three little horses had shed their armor and were wearing only light shirts, embracing each other, radiating a warm, intimate aura. Their small tails behind them wagged rhythmically, looking exceptionally harmonious.
Although the Aunt had complained the whole way about their sweaty bodies and declared she needed a good bath, once her two nieces half-coaxed, half-pulled her onto the bed, she was fast asleep within a minute.
Eight people sleeping on one bed, a greater threat than the pink mushroom incident in Acahuala.
Suddenly, Goki felt his left hand being held by a pair of delicate hands with faint calluses—it was Gnosis.
This little mouse had also contributed to the recent battle. Although her Originium Arts shield was usually exceptionally fragile, with the enhancements from Shining and Nightingale, she still bore a large amount of the damage for everyone.

"It's alright, Master, Gnosis only needs a small part of you. As long as you remember me when you look at everyone... Oh!"
Before she could finish, Gnosis was tapped on her little head by Goki and playfully stuck out her tongue.
"Don't say such self-deprecating things. If I choose you, the love you receive will be exactly the same as Skadi's—as long as you wish, you will be another mistress of the house."
If Goki were to demur at this point, he would be the oblivious male lead in a harem dispute story—he didn't do harem disputes; if they were wives, he wanted them all.
Although Goki decided to be a scoundrel, he had to be a high-quality, excellent human scoundrel. No matter how many girlfriends he had, he had to treat them all seriously.
Gnosis paused, then understood the meaning of Goki's words, and immediately beamed with joy. She was very pleased with Goki's—proposal.
"Hmph, clearly you're two-timing, yet you speak with such righteousness. Miss Skadi won't be happy, you know~~ But I'm very happy, so Master, this is your reward!"
The next second, Goki felt his hand pressed against a soft, dough-like surface.
Then, a gentle, moist voice, filled with deep affection, sounded in Goki's ear. He even felt his earlobe being gently nipped by soft lips.
"Mistress or anything like that, I'm not interested in the slightest. I only want to be Master's most beloved slave~~ Please seriously feel my intentions—Miss Skadi, if you do this, Master will be very happy. Only true lovers do such things. Do you want to try it?"
With a mischievous smile, Gnosis leaned over Goki and winked at Skadi. Rather than the boring power struggles depicted in TV shows, Gnosis preferred to become good friends with Skadi.
"Hmm, I said, Goki, I don't care what you and Gnosis do, and I also like to eat the food Gnosis makes—but I can do this too! Can you feel my heartbeat?"
Seeing Gnosis's "guidance," Skadi nodded vigorously and also pressed Goki's hand against her chest.
"To be honest, I can't feel anything at all—there's a tragic barrier between my heart and yours."
Towards Skadi and Gnosis, who were already considered family, Goki no longer maintained his reserve towards outsiders. Instead, he unhesitatingly kneaded them a bit—if he were any more polite, he would truly be treating them as outsiders.
"Mmm, Ga-Goki..."
"Eep."
That unprecedented sensation instantly made the two girls' faces flush, and they let out soft, pleasant whimpers, startling Goki into quickly letting go, not daring to overstep—there were other girls around, after all.
The three of them were shy for a long while before they calmed down.
"Mmm, Goki, then, are we lovers now? *Yawn*, then you play with Gnosis first... *Snores*."
Happily hugging Goki's back, Skadi confirmed Goki's feelings for her and happily drifted off to sleep—in her eyes, this was a higher and more beautiful relationship than "comrade" or "friend."
And now, having defeated the god, she finally had enough "experience points"!
"Ahem, it looks like there won't be any harem disputes or catfights, Master—tell me honestly, you said you've been to Sargon and Columbia, and how many girls' hearts did you steal there?"
Gnosis, finally able to face Goki, whispered quietly to him.
"Cough, cough, let me think, let's see, Gavial, Saria, Silence... About three people?"
Facing his girlfriend, Goki looked into Gnosis's pink diamond-like eyes and naturally dared not lie—at least, these three, Goki confirmed, had mutual affection for him.
This time, even Gnosis was a bit surprised—three! This was outrageous!
"Three... I'm afraid it's even more than you think, Master, you truly are charming. But tonight, you are mine."
Looking at such an honest yet exasperating Goki, Gnosis pouted and finally made a decision.
"Master, I think... you shouldn't just call me by my codename anymore."
With slightly parted lips, Gnosis slowly spoke her true name, one she had never told anyone before—it was her only memory, and her only treasure.
"Cenomi, follow my mouth shape, Ce-no-mi. That is my name. I will forever serve by your side, Mr. Goki."
Word by word, Cenomi told Goki her true name and made a lifelong promise.
"Cenomi, ah... that's a good name. Then, Miss Cenomi, I will always be at your service as well."
Wrapping his arms around Cenomi's slender waist, Goki, though he had known her true name for a long time, had played the fool for a month, all for this day, for her to personally tell him her true name.
Accompanied by Skadi's breathing, their lips drew closer.
Then, Goki stopped, raising his hand somewhat helplessly.
"Um, everyone, you should know that I can sense every gaze directed at me, right?"
Feeling the seven gazes directed at the two of them, including Skadi's, Goki knew that tonight, his little girlfriend wouldn't be doing anything extra.
"I'll ask one more time, which beautiful young ladies want a late-night snack? You must be hungry!"
This time... everyone raised their hands.
