NineSwords says so too.

I do not, but I agree. (That bit never gets old). They had such a great chemistry with Satou and I would have loved to see a. more of them and b. have them interact more with the other characters. But the door is open now for frequent visits.

(What would the correct world be for a group of gods/goddesses?)

Probably a "Morsel" of Goddesses. The term comes from the sound the group makes most prominently.

I have cemented my position as the office weirdo, giggling to myself. The people around me were looking at me like I was Harmut spouting about Myne.

Is this true for English? The only one I can think of that fits is a gaggle of geese.

Herd of sheep, cows, pigs, horse, etc

Pod of dolphins, whales, etc

Murder of crows

Nah, that's just what I'm going with. Sounds plausible enough, doesn't it? ;)

As far as I remember collective nouns are based on an old book (15th or 16th century) and there are some funny ones in there. I'll look it up and report later.

Edit: "The Book of Hawking, Hunting and Blasing of Arms" by Julia Berners published in England in 1486. It includes 165 collective nouns for groups of people and animals. I suppose the good gal was bored out of her mind and everyone just ran with it to humor her. And today we have have masterpieces like a "conspiracy of lemurs", "tower of giraffes", and "destruction of wild cats" (all real I swear).
