Hearing there were no snacks, Kafka very genuinely released her grip, then was lightly tapped on her small head by Goki, who had put away his torch. The two walked together towards the only lit room on that floor.
During the month she spent with Goki, this girl, who always used to act docile in front of everyone, became less aloof after getting familiar with him, revealing her boisterous personality.
"Kaltsit is still seeing patients. She found me annoying and kicked me out. Really, how come Skadi gets to stay inside… Wow, thank you, Goki-ge!"
Before she could finish complaining, Goki pulled out a bag of caramel popcorn from his bag and tapped her on the head.
"To be honest, you'd be better off being docile~~"
Looking at this mischievous, fickle information broker in front of him, Goki sighed—true lolis like Little Fire Dragon had their own charm, and legal lolis like this had their own appeal.
In response, Kafka, holding the rare snacks from the impoverished district and beaming with joy, shook her head vigorously.
"No way! It's already tiring enough acting like a good child outside. If I wasn't such a short little bean right now, I wouldn't bother pretending to be young—oh, and there's cola. Kaltsit would definitely criticize this as junk food if she saw it, I'll take care of it for you."
Fishing out a bottle of soda from Goki's shopping bag, Kafka unceremoniously opened the drink and gulped it down.
"If Kafka also had a good figure like Skadi's, I could win over a man like you with just a wink—come on, give me a hug! You've worked hard!"
Holding the drink and snacks, Kafka suddenly turned around and gave Goki a big hug.
"...How is it? Do you feel a little excited, being hugged by a beautiful girl who just became an adult?"
Looking up, Kafka's yellow eyes were full of anticipation.
In fact, after becoming familiar with Goki, she would come over for dinner every night, and would always greet Goki first in the hallway when he got off work, and would always give him a strong hug like this.
Goki's heart remained calm as he tried to feel the hard chest and small body of this little bird, whose height didn't even reach his chest.
Rather, if there were any ripples, then Ash from the Rainbow Six Siege collaboration would have Transmigrated early and launched a Grandma Launcher at Goki.
"...Hmm, just a little bit?"
However, to protect Kafka's actually not weak self-esteem, he still gently patted her little head, trying to comfort her.
"Hmph, no sincerity at all. Just you wait—Liberi's growth spurt happens quite late. Give Kafka five more years, and I guarantee I'll become a big sister who can make you utterly smitten! Do you believe me?"
Snorting disdainfully, Kafka released her arms, made a face at Goki, then pinched her smooth hair and tickled Goki's nose with the feathery tip.
"I believe you, I believe you. Alright, alright, let's go back quickly, I still have to cook."
"Don't even talk about five years, you'll still be a little bean six years from now!"
Looking at the adorable Kafka, Goki thought of her still small stature in the game, and could only sigh, walking towards Kaltsit's clinic.
And Kafka, out of Goki's sight, couldn't help but smile happily.
Although this big guy initially scared Kafka with his extremely violent combat power, after a month of getting along, Kafka knew that Goki was a genuine good person.
Kafka used to think she would always stay in the impoverished district, eventually dying of oripathy in some gutter.
But now, after spending time with Goki and them… Kafka was filled with anticipation for the future.
She was also considering whether to go out and make a name for herself in the future—at least find a way to have a bit of adult charm.
Being seen as a child by others wasn't a big deal, but being seen as a child by Goki… that was too disheartening.
"Oh, by the way, Goki-ge, I also found the records you asked me to investigate—Rhine Lab's Director has frequently entered and exited various underground markets in Saint Foucault City over the past few years, not only acquiring many ancient relics of various races but also employing several specialized tomb-raiding groups… I'll give you the information later."
Kafka had now essentially become Goki's private information broker, providing all intelligence to him first.
"Oh, and also what you and Kaltsit asked me to inquire about regarding the Loken Tank. Although the information is heavily restricted, several months ago, a laboratory building suddenly collapsed there, but there has been no official explanation to the public to this day… Kaltsit definitely has something to do."
Hearing this news, Goki nodded, stood at the clinic door, and gently turned the doorknob.
"Okay, I'll bring you pizza tomorrow, but since we're home, let's not talk about work anymore—I'm home!"
Opening the somewhat dilapidated door, Goki spread his arms inside the room, while Kafka habitually dodged to the side.
The next second, a fragrant breeze assaulted him, and a heavy impact directly made Goki stumble.
"Welcome home, Goki!"
Thud—
The Little Orca, who had waited all day, crashed directly into Goki's arms.
Of course, she also broke six of Goki's ribs—still the same old flavor.
Like Kafka's hug, this violent embrace had also become something Goki was accustomed to.
"Yes, I'm home."
Patting the Little Orca's back, inhaling Skadi's scent, and gently stroking her smooth hair, a relaxed smile appeared on Goki's face.
Although he now had two "mothers of his children," it was indeed his own big wife who was the cutest!
