[The Goddess Becomes a Wife]

Let’s set aside the fact that afterwards Arca gave me a huge scolding and tried to take advantage of the confusion to make me declare her as the legal wife, which of course was noticed by everyone and led to a big quarrel.

“H-how dare you hu-humiliate me like that…”

Having regained her consciousness, Fluga-sama hugged her body with a bright red face.

She was sitting with her legs on one side, making her look delicate and cute, but well I’d keep that thought to myself.

Her body was quivering, and her lips clenched, but eventually she opened her eyes wide and yelled, “—Y-you have to take responsibility, human! I-I’ll have you become my husband!”

““““““Wha!?”””””” Of course, we froze, dumbfounded.

Then Fluga-sama, face still bright red, continued, “W-what is there to be so shocked about!? Y-you’ve done something like that to me!? I-isn’t it natural for you to take responsibility!?”

“T-that’s true, but…”

“S-shut up! Now that’s decided, we’ll hold a grand ceremony! Prepare yourself, you jerk! How many children do you want, huh!?”

“Ehh…” I could only stand stock-still in response to Fluga-sama who was completely enthusiastic about becoming a wife, but there were five people here who would never take that lying down…

“Well, calm down yourself, Goddess of Thunder. Exa is already a married man. In which case, you have to talk with me, his legal wife, first if you want to become his wife,” Arca said.

Magmell interjected, “No, please don’t listen to her nonsense. I’m the legal wife, so you can consult to me.”

“No, I’m the legal wife. Exa loves me the most, after all.” Ophir nodded her head.

Tirna shook her head, “No, that’s not the case. Exa’s number one is me. Lying is no good, you know.”

“Sorry, Fluga-sama. These people have the mistaken idea that they are Exa’s legal wife. So, what did you want to talk about again?” Zana asked with a smile.

As the conflict over who was the legal wife, which had happened so many times I lost count, raging on, Fluga-sama said matter-of-factly, “—What are you all talking about? Since I, a god, will be this guy’s wife, I’ll of course be the legal wife, right?”

“““““……”””””

At that moment.

‘Unity’ was born in the midst of my five current wives.

Perhaps because the fact that their opponent was a ‘goddess’, they judged that it wasn’t the time to be fighting against each other and made temporary truce.

And thus, the fierce battle between humans and a god began.

Welp, given that the cause of it was the position of my legal wife, I had mixed feelings about it…

I mean, they all had their own merits; couldn’t they all be my number one…?

◇ ◇

Of course, although I said fierce battle, it wasn’t in the sense of armed combat.

Honestly, if that was the case, then Fluga-sama would hold too much advantage. Ophir’s proposal of having a drinking competition was also rejected because it would be too advantageous to her.

Then, what kind of competition would give them all a fair chance to be the legal wife? —They all discussed about it, including Fluga-sama, and came to the conclusion that the legal wife had to be the one who had the most confidence in me and the best at housework and childcare.

In other words, it was difficult to decide who got to be the legal wife at this point, and they reached an agreement that they would settle it after our journey was over.

Well, I thought it made sense.

Everyone just had to do their best until then.

It was a plenty of time, and it would all eventually come down to how much efforts each of them made.

Just that…

“They can stay with you all the time, while I’ll be left all alone here. How’re you going to make it up to me?”

Yes, I couldn’t bring Fluga-sama along, just like Kaya-san.

However, there was only one thing I could do for her.

“All right. I’ll come to see you as often as I can. Is that okay with you?”

“W-well, I’m not gonna complain…”

“““““……”””””

As the girls looked at Fluga-sama, who was meekly touching her index fingers together, with half closed eyes, I finally broached the main subject, “So, Fluga-sama, the reason we came here is to…”

“Y-yeah, I know. You want my power of ‘thunder’ and ‘destruction’, don’t you? Well, you’ll be my husband. Of course, I’ll give it to you.”

“Seriously!? Thank you so much!”

When I smiled and thanked her, Fluga-sama nodded, “N-no problem,” but then she became fidgety and shyly said, “So, umm… as thanks for me giving you my power… I wonder if you can give me a tight hug later…”

“Yes, of course. I’ll give you as many hugs as you want, Fluga-sama.”

“R-really? W-well then, I guess I have no choice! I’ll give you plenty of my power!” Fluga-sama happily crossed her arms.

Glad that we were able to achieve our objective, I turned towards the girls but,

“I take it you’ll give me a hug too, right?”

“My, of course he will, right Exa-sama?”

“Ain’t it a given?”

“There’s no room to argue about it.”

“Mm, you have to treat everyone equally.”

“Y-yeah…”

Like that, I was hit by a suffocating pressure that forced me to nod my head.
