Chapter 301: Spirit Sealing the Yamai Sisters
"I'm sorry. It's all because Yuzuru said those things just now that Kaguya was swallowed directly by the monster. I'm really sorry..." Yuzuru's tearful voice caused Kaguya, who had originally wanted to tease her a bit, to feel a slight tremble in her heart. She gently stroked Yuzuru's back, continuously soothing her panicked heart. "This has nothing to do with Yuzuru. You should blame me for not landing the finishing blow in time, which led to this outcome. Besides, aren't we fine now? Since that monster dared to swallow us, we have to make it pay the price. We successors of Yamai are not so easily bullied; we absolutely must make it suffer."
Under Kaguya's comfort, Yuzuru gradually calmed down and realized what she had just done. Feeling that warm embrace and Kaguya's heartfelt care, Yuzuru felt an unparalleled sense of happiness in her heart at this moment. "Confession... actually, what Kaguya heard back then were all Yuzuru's true feelings... Yuzuru doesn't want to die. I want to always stay by Kaguya's side like this, and I want to experience the life we've never experienced together. I want to build a giant sandcastle with Kaguya, an even bigger, grander, and more beautiful sandcastle than the one Yoshino and Yoshinon built."
Listening to Yuzuru's rapidly beating heart, Kaguya hugged Yuzuru even tighter. "Mine too... even though it's embarrassing, I also want to live. I want to keep living, to experience many unexperienced things in life with Yuzuru. I want to eat lots and lots of delicious food together, and just like the other spirits Franklin brought along, I want to go to school and experience a different kind of life."
At this moment, both of them thought of the source of everything happening right now, thinking of the imposing figure who had suddenly appeared during their battle. Thanks to him, the two of them didn't have to fight for supremacy and could completely merge into one. Thanks to him, they could now embrace Kaguya and Yuzuru without any burdens.
Just as the two of them connected on a spiritual level, Yamai Kaguya felt the seal within her body gradually loosen and directly shatter. The same was true for Yamai Yuzuru, who was embracing her, and the two smiled at each other. Trust and spiritual connection reached their peak at this moment. Spirit power surged from within their bodies, and their swimsuits were instantly replaced by the Spirit Dress of God's Authority, Number 8. A fierce gale formed out of thin air, continuously tearing at the red flesh surrounding them. "Yuzuru, let's finish it off."
"Affirmative. Let's finish it off."
As their voices fell, Hurricane Knight: Piercer appeared in Kaguya's hands. Hurricane Knight: Binder wrapped around Yuzuru's arm. The two smiled at each other, and the spiritually linked pair slowly floated upward. The angel that had been shattered and split into two parts also merged together at this moment. A massive silver longbow instantly formed, and the Piercer transformed into an arrow at this moment. "Hurricane Knight: Sky Driver!"
In an instant, the Piercer was fired directly, and the fierce gale tore through everything. A flash of silver light instantly ripped through the black dragon's body, shooting straight up into the high sky.
As soon as he realized his idea had achieved the expected result, Franklin unsealed their spirit power and detached himself from the black dragon's body. Standing on the ocean surface at this moment, Franklin watched as the black dragon's body instantly turned into a pool of bloody water after losing his protection. The seawater erupted instantly. With the Piercer at its center, the violent gale tore apart everything in its path; even his own invisible domain was directly ripped open. Ultimately, that silver light pierced through the hundred-kilometer domain in the blink of an eye, shooting straight into the high sky toward the unknown, distant starry expanse beyond. Seeing the two girls who had turned back into spirits acting so affectionately in the parted seawater, Franklin also revealed a faint smile at this moment. With a light snap of his fingers, he teleported the two to the surface of the sea, casually restoring the turbulent ocean to its calm state. "Franklin, why are you here? Did you come to check on us because you were worried about us?"
Franklin smiled, shook his head, and then nodded. "I suppose that's partly it. You two are always fighting, and it's genuinely worrying to watch. If I hadn't stepped in earlier, it really felt like you two were going to fight to the death. But looking at it now, it seems you two have already faced your true feelings honestly. This is how it should be. You're clearly good sisters who care deeply for each other, yet you're always thinking about fighting and killing. That's no good."
Hearing Franklin's words, both of their cheeks flushed with shy redness. "Thanks to your help, Franklin, the two of us no longer have to agonize over who is the successor of Yamai. You made it possible for both of us to exist at the same time, which is why we can face the future together so peacefully like this."
"Gratitude. We will never forget Franklin's help. We have already discussed the transaction reward we mentioned earlier..."
The two glanced at each other, their cheeks blushing shyly before they quickly ran across the surface of the sea to stand in front of Franklin. Then, each of them grabbed one of Franklin's arms. As they kissed each other, they also leaned in to kiss Franklin's lips. Feeling the soft sensation, Franklin's eyes widened. Before he could even carefully savor the feeling, the two had already taken a step back with blushing faces. "The reward is, Yuzuru and I..."
"The reward is, Kaguya and I..."
"...will become your girlfriends together, Franklin."

"Ah~ My spirit power is starting to disappear again, and my clothes too..."
"Flustered. Truly lewd."
Looking at the two shy girls in front of him, Franklin realized what a pleasant surprise was. Without him having to put in any effort, their affection levels had actually reached the standard directly, and without him needing to make a move, the two had directly sealed themselves. Looking at their swimsuits, which were crumbling and corroded due to his own wicked sense of humor, and watching the two girls crouching shyly on the surface of the sea, Franklin smiled. With a light snap of his fingers, he restored their swimsuits to their original, intact state. "Thanks for the treat. Your swimsuits have been restored to their perfect condition now. And thanks to your honesty, the affection levels have actually met the requirements. The transaction has truly been completed this time. Your spirit power has been sealed within my body. The successor of Yamai can be born at any time; you can decide when to begin."
Hearing Franklin's words, the two shy girls finally stood up again after seeing that each other's swimsuits were indeed fine. Before either of them could speak, Franklin frowned and looked up at the sky. A phantom flashed by in an instant, and a blonde figure was in free fall from the sky. Looking closely, a smear of crimson was continuously spreading.
