Enjoy your time with Niki.

She hurries to the edge and gazes off into the distance. Then without any hesitation, she heaves yourself onto the raised stone edge as if she's going to leap right off, which causes you to jerk forwards, but she sits herself down on the flat top and dangles her feet downwards. Nothing seems to phase her when it comes to danger. Only when it comes to matters of the heart. You sigh with relief and join her, sitting beside her, knowing that if you were to fall, you'd be completely fine because of your magic boots.

Also, knowing Niki, she'd probably jump after you, and still land unphased.

"I keep thinking about the Golden Sword," she says wool-gathering as her hands grasp the ledge, and she stares up towards the clouds. "What an amazing time. And it was just us. Me and you, beating all the opponents that stood in our way. Maybe next time, you'll get a fair fight, and make it all the way to the top."

"To be fair, you didn't have a fair fight either."

"Ah... Yeah. That was interesting, wasn't it?"

"Especially afterwards."

She lifts her hands up and covers her cheeks. "C-Come on now. You know that'll embarrass me... but you're right. I can't believe how frustrated I was. You bent me right over, and slammed every last drop of frustration out of my body. I'll never forget that moment." As if it's taken her a moment to truly realize her own words, she clears her throat and nearly tumbles right off the ledge. "I--" she begins again, but no more words come out.

"It was amazing," you say.

Staring down now between her sneakers, she continues. "I'm sorry. I have no idea how to do this kinda thing, and my brain went right to something erotic. I doubt your dates with the others went that way. I j-just don't know what to say, and for some reason that comes out first."

You're right I guess, though that isn't something you should doubt. It's probably a miracle nothing erotic happened with both Amara and Eva. Give it time, Niki. You know how things end up going. It's really nice though just spending time with them. I could really get used to this, honestly. These girls... they're not just fanservice to me. I've spent so much of my time here, and every day, I feel like we're even closer--

"You look like you're thinking a lot," Niki interrupts your thoughts.

"Sorry." You laugh awkwardly. This time, you're the one caught a little flustered. "I just really like spending this kinda time with everyone, no matter what we do or talk about."

"Really?"

"Of course."

She fiddles with the zipper on the bottom of her hoodie. "You know this kinda thing is hard for me. It's just... It's harder the stronger the emotion, and I have things I want to say, but I don't fully understand the feelings I have, and it's hard to get the words out, you know?"

You place a gentle hand over hers. "You can tell me anything. I won't judge you."

Finally, she locks eyes with yours again. Though as she speaks, she struggles more to maintain eye-contact. "I just... you know... have a lot of l-lo... loving feelings... towards y-you?" By the end, she looks like she's straining herself, and she's completely looked away with a face radiating with embarrassment.

You brush your hand across her cheek, over her ear, and through her hair as you pull her head closer, and the two of you kiss. There you linger, embracing her passionately for a long period of time, but a perfect period of time.

"It's fine," you say. "Don't worry. I feel the same way. Just relax and enjoy the view with me."

She nods but stares at you for a moment. "I am."

"You're making me blush."

"I hope so." After a smirk, she lunges forwards and kisses you again.
