A few days later, the two wolves received their titles with the names of their Goddesses.
Kosuke was still working on the golem, but this time Wanri came to visit him.
She brought two girls he had never seen before.
“Big brother, it looks like my sisters got the title of a Goddess, have we done something?”
She was suspicious of Kousuke from the start.
“…Wait, would Wanri even say something like that?”
Kosuke was feeling depressed.
Shrein and Floria, who happened to be standing beside him, laughed at him.
“Hey there! You guys are laughing too much… Ah, Wanri, don’t worry about it. It’s not like it’s your fault, and besides, maybe this time it’s definitely my fault.”
Kosuke patted Wanri’s head, wondering if he said something wrong when he saw the two of them laughing.
“So? You said those two are sisters, right?”
“Yes. They’re foxes like me, and they belong to big brother. I brought them here because they said something about receiving a message from the Goddesses. I think that’s how they were able to transform into people.”
At Wanri’s words, the two girls behind her nodded in agreement.
“I see.”
He didn’t doubt Wanri’s words, but he decided to check their skills just to be sure.

The title “Favorite of XX God” was firmly attached.
This time it was water and fire, so he now had a complete set of four titles.
He expected this to happen to some extent, since he had made it clear in the past that he did not need to hold back.
He didn’t expect it to be assigned to his fox dependents, but he figured that it would be assigned to one of his dependents.
“…Can you two come over here?”
He called out to the two, who were still hiding behind Wanri and not coming out in front of Kosuke.
He thought that before returning to this world, someone could have told him about this situation.
Fortunately, no one knew about his thoughts. Kirika and Houri slowly approached Kosuke.
He patted them on the head, just as he had done with Wanri.
Kosuke was thinking that he was simply doing the same stuff as what he did with Wanri, but that action actually made them incredibly happy.
He got a little embarrassed, and did as they asked.
After a while, they hugged Kousuke as if they wanted to be pampered.
“…You’ve completely tamed them.”
“As expected of Kousuke.”
Shrein and Floria, who were watching from the side, said something, but Kousuke pretended not to have heard them.
“So? What are you going to do with them?”
Kosuke asked Wanri.
Wanri looked as if she had been caught off guard by the question.
Wanri had been expecting Kosuke to tell her what to do.
“Shouldn’t big brother decide?”
“No, Wanri can decide. Well, don’t worry about it so much, and do what you think is best for them. But if you want to move them to a new floor, you should consult with me beforehand.”
When Kosuke said that, Wanri started to think about it, as if troubled.
“There’s no need to rush into thinking about it, you know. It’s not like we’re in any particular hurry. You can think about it slowly and decide.”
“Okay.”
Wanri nodded.
“If that’s the case, why not ask the other ladies as well?”
“Hey. I’m always open for consultations, okay?”
“That’s right.”
Shrein and Floria readily agreed.
Even if they hadn’t said anything, if Wanri had come to them for advice, they would have immediately discussed it with her.
It was not just Shrein and Floria who would have done this.
Basically, all of the women had a soft spot for Wanri.

At the time when Kousuke was looking after the two members with their new divine titles.
A certain Goddess was screeching.
“Hiii, Kousuke, what have you done?!”
The owner of the screech was Jal.
She had been forced to deal with a comment from Kousuke that said, “Don’t hesitate.”
Normally, giving a title with a Goddess’s name was not something that could be done casually.
The concept of a status was first brought to this world by Kousuke, but granting blessings and similar things had been done before.
When the target creature fulfills various conditions, a Goddess could give it a blessing or it could become the Goddesses’s favorite.
Jal was in charge of managing such things, but until now, her workload was never that heavy.
In the first place, Goddesses rarely found beings that could receive their blessings.
This time, however, it was a completely different story.
Normally, Goddesses give blessings almost unilaterally, but this time, by giving blessings, they were trying to establish a relationship with Kousuke.
It was very manipulative and not something that would normally be allowed, but Kousuke allowed it.
As long as Kousuke allowed it, there was no way the people around him could say anything about it, and Jal, who was in charge of the management, cried out.
Incidentally, Kousuke had a vague idea that the other Goddesses were doing this for their own manipulative purposes.
He knew what was going on with the Goddesses during his last visit, so he had some idea of what was going on now.
He didn’t know that Jal was suffering like this behind the scenes, though.

Jal’s role was to review the applications of the Goddesses to see if they met the requirements for granting blessings and protection.
Thanks to Kousuke, an unbelievable number of applications were reaching Jal.
Documents that used to be delivered only once a day were now being delivered multiple times a day.
“I’m going to spend the whole day just reviewing these documents…”
“It looks like you’re being punished for not working properly up until now.”
Jal gulped at Eris’ ruthless words.
“I’m going to make a firm protest about this!”
“…Hou.”
“Ah, no, well… I have to adjust my paperwork, so I’ll work.”
Jal was stared at by Eris for a moment, and she looked down at the document to escape her gaze.
No matter how much she tried to run away from reality, the pile of papers would not decrease.
Incidentally, Eris was here to monitor Jal in order to prevent her from fleeing from the mountain of papers called reality, but Jal was unaware of this.
Eris didn’t intend to do this either, but she was begged by the other Goddesses to keep an eye on Jal to prevent her from running away from the papers. So… here she was…
Jal didn’t suspect anything at all, since the place they were in was the shared office of Eris and the others.
But that didn’t mean that Eris could relax either.
The Goddess in front of her was a professional escape artist.
For now, she was still doing her job quietly, but if she tried to escape, she had prepared a final weapon.
Obviously, the final weapon would only be used at the end.
When Spica, who was aware of the fact that Eris was playing the role of surveillance, heard what it was, her face tightened, but fortunately or unfortunately Jal never found out about it.
