However, at the time of parting, a rare faint smile appeared on Ptilopsis's face.
"I've never met anyone like you, who can wholeheartedly extend kindness to others... You've taught me a lot, Goki."
Although her iconic mechanical voice was gone, Goki felt that this soft Ptilopsis felt better.
"Haha, it's not as grand as you say. You're pretty girls, and I'm a normal man who likes pretty girls, so taking care of you is quite normal."
Facing Ptilopsis's straightforward praise without reservation, Goki's old face actually flushed a bit, and he waved his hand awkwardly.
In response, Ptilopsis's smile became even brighter.
"It seems, Goki, you're still oblivious to your own charms—I'll be leaving with Silence. I hope we can meet again in Kazdel. For now... you'd best console Ifrit."
Holding her crescent staff, Ptilopsis also walked towards the headquarters building. Their departure couldn't be as empty-handed as Goki's; to be precise, they were preparing to move to a new home.
Goki could only sigh, then turned his head to look at the family of three at the entrance.
"Ugh... Liar, liar, liar!"
Little Fire Dragon, no, Ifrit, who had now evolved into a Fire Dragon, was puffing out her cheeks, tossing a small fireball up and down in her hand, occasionally spitting a stream of flames from the corner of her mouth, and glaring angrily at Goki.
Beside her, Saria and Silence also looked helpless. They had been trying to persuade Ifrit for a long time.
"You said you'd come with us, Brother Goki, you big liar!"
Ifrit had originally thought that Goki would go with her and always stay with Silence and Saria, but now he said he was going to some Kazimierz—Little Fire Dragon absolutely would not accept it!
"Ifrit... I'll definitely come to see you very soon. I know you're unhappy, and I'm sorry—Kazimierz also has many local specialties. If you want them, I'll buy them all and bring them to you."
Kneeling beside Silence and Saria, looking Ifrit in the eye, Goki didn't say anything about her needing to be sensible. He honestly apologized.
"Besides, you know, no matter how far apart we are, we can feel each other, right?"
Tapping Ifrit's chest with his hand, a white light flashed in both Goki's and Ifrit's eyes, and a sense of familiarity spontaneously arose.
This was the feeling of a Bloodline connection.
According to the Director, she hadn't actually transplanted the power of the Moon God through surgery at all. She had merely tried taking a small section of the "third umbilical cord," and found no effect on herself or her colleagues, but upon contact with Ifrit, that shriveled umbilical cord directly merged into her skin from the outside, as if it had been directly absorbed.
As if the two were meant to be together.
Goki didn't know whether it was Ifrit's special Physique or some characteristic of the Sarkaz race itself.
But thinking about it, they naturally had an affinity for Originium. Perhaps... it wasn't just an affinity for Originium.
Therefore, Goki was certainly going to Kazdel, but Kazdel was more than half a Terra continent away from Columbia, so Goki would definitely go to Columbia's neighboring country, the Knight Tournament country Kazimierz, first.
Regardless, just as Goki and Skadi both had Seaborn Blood in their bodies, Ifrit and Goki now also shared the power of the Moon God and the God of Burning Wind. The perception of their Bloodline would never be severed.
"Ugh... I just want you, Saria, and Silence to be together, honestly—you all promised to be my mom and dad!"
But even so, Ifrit didn't care about anything.
As soon as she said this, Saria and Silence's cheeks immediately flushed bright red, and they began to nervously comfort Ifrit.
"Ifrit! We did say that, and we definitely won't lie. Silence and I will always be with you. Goki is just going on a long trip... Silence, Silence?"
