Looking at Yuzuru, who was just like Kaguya—flirting with me and then planning to disappear—

I raised my hands and, with a slight force, kneaded Yuzuru's tender, pretty face, complaining with dissatisfaction. "You two silly sisters, even your seduction tactics are the same! Do you think I'd fall for it so easily??"

"It's already recorded. Kaguya is bound to lose this time!" Then, a phone appeared out of thin air in my hand.

"Eh?" Yuzuru was stunned, looking at the phone with some curiosity, her heart filled with surprise. "Curiosity. What is this?"

"This contains the evidence of my victory in the bet with you two silly sisters," I said with a faint smile, then played the footage stored on the phone.

————

"Kyoya, please choose Kaguya, okay..."

"Kaguya is more lively and cute, more charming than Yuzuru. She's the one more qualified to be the Yamai Spirit..."

Watching the footage on the phone, Yuzuru covered her mouth in astonishment, her pretty face suddenly turning a shade of pink.

Immediately, she reached out to snatch the phone without another word. However, I had already returned the phone to my system space.

"Kyoya, please don't let Kaguya see this~" Seeing that snatching it was fruitless, Yuzuru could only look at me pitifully.

'If... if this video is heard or seen by Kaguya, then... then...'

Oh my god! This is too embarrassing. Thinking of that scene, Yuzuru's heart almost exploded with shame. She wasn't normal anymore.

To this, I remained unmoved, gently taking Yuzuru's hand and strolling with her along the beach.

————

"Yuzuru, did you know? Kaguya said the exact same thing to you not long ago."

"Kaguya..." Yuzuru's expression became complicated. She lowered her head and remained silent.

"So I made a bet with Kaguya. If you also made the same choice as her, choosing to sacrifice yourself to fulfill the other's wish, then both of you must live well." Saying this, the corners of my lips curled up slightly, and I looked at Yuzuru with a smile in my eyes.

"At this point, Kaguya has already lost to me. So now, it's your turn, Yuzuru."

"This..." Yuzuru's mouth opened, and she froze on the spot, not knowing how to answer.

Also tilting her head to look at the man before her, after a long silence, she still hesitated. "B-But that's our fate. One of us must disappear..."

"Who said one of you must disappear? I can solve your problem." Then I squeezed Yuzuru's hand and threatened her with a teasing tone.

"Anyway, if Yuzuru doesn't agree, I'll show the footage on the phone to Kaguya!"

"What?? Please don't!" Hearing this, Yuzuru completely wilted. Her cheeks puffed out, and she looked at me resentfully.

I smiled then placed my hand on Yuzuru's head. Yuzuru's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, staring intently at him.

Towards being patted on the head by me, not only did Yuzuru not dislike it, but she actually felt very comfortable. This feeling of being loved and doted on was something she had never experienced since she was born. She was infatuated with this feeling.

"Yuzuru, do you want to hear what Kaguya also said to me back then?" Suddenly, my eyes darted around, revealing a meaningful smile.

Hearing this, Yuzuru's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she nodded excitedly.

Then she looked at me with an expectant expression.

Seeing this, the corners of my lips curled up, and I once again took out my phone and played a video. Even Kaguya had never expected that I had been prepared long ago.

'Hehehe... Sorry, Kaguya! Don't blame me!'

————

"Hey, Kyoya, if you promise me one thing, you can do anything to me, and I won't object,"

A crisp yet gentle voice came from the phone, laced with a heart-stirring charm. Even before seeing the phone screen, Yuzuru had already recognized that it was Kaguya's voice.

"Kyoya, promise me, choose Yuzuru. She's sexier, gentler, and more charming than me. She's more qualified to live."

"Kaguya, how about we make a bet? If Yuzuru has the same idea as you, then you'll give up this idea. You're not allowed to have the thought of sacrificing yourself to fulfill the other's wish!"

"Kyoya, is that true? Is it really possible? We can both live, and neither of us will disappear..."

The video froze at this moment.

After watching the video, Yuzuru lightly bit her red lips, her heart filled with complex emotions.

In the final scene, she could clearly see and feel Kaguya's desire for life, and her look of intense anticipation.

She knew that Kaguya also wanted to live. But for her, Kaguya was willing to sacrifice herself...

Suddenly—

Like a couple in love, I hugged Yuzuru's waist from behind, my tone gentle. "Yuzuru, promise me, from now on, you two will live happily. Don't let your imagination run wild anymore, understand?"

"Mm~"

Back at the Villa.

I condensed two pure Sephira Crystals and integrated them into Kaguya and Yuzuru's bodies.

This eliminated the bond of mutual attraction and fusion between them, resolving their problem.

The two of them also embraced each other, crying with joy.

Kaguya and Yuzuru clung to my arms, and under the astonished gazes of the other girls, they sat down.

"Kyoya, thanks to you helping me and Yuzuru, otherwise I might have disappeared. But I found that I've fallen for you."

"Affection. Yuzuru too. But Yuzuru has already reconciled with Kaguya, so she won't compete again."

"In short, Kyoya, from now on, you will be the common property of me and Yuzuru."

"Agreement. That's right. Yuzuru and Kaguya will love you well."

"Wh-What!" Hearing this, Tohka and Origami both stood up excitedly, glaring at them as if at love rivals.

"Ara ara~ I can't just pretend I didn't hear that," At the same time, even Kurumi, sitting beside them, licked her lips, a pathological smile on her face.

As for the other girls, they also chose to watch with strange expressions.

Seeing this situation, Kaguya and Yuzuru, holding my hands, couldn't help but snort lightly through their noses.

"Sorry, Tohka. But as my vassal, you should feel extremely honored to be able to offer Kyoya to me."

"Legacy. Master Origami, thank you for your teachings. Yuzuru will remember your words and continue to move forward."

Hearing the two's words, Tohka and Origami exchanged glances, then both stepped forward and grabbed my feet.

"Don't be ridiculous! How could I give Kyoya to you!"

"That's right! Don't suddenly say such strange things!"

"Ahaha... How bold! To actually issue a challenge to us Yamai sisters!"

"Challenge accepted. We'll let you see how powerful Yuzuru and Kaguya are when they work together."

Saying this, the four of them pulled at my hands and feet from four different directions.

"Ara~ To ignore me like this. Looks like I need to let you know how terrifying Nightmare is!" Seeing herself being ignored, a crimson light flashed in Kurumi's eyes, the smile on her face becoming even more wicked and strange.

"W-Wait! Not that place..."

"YAMETE (Stop)!!!"

With my wail, the villa instantly descended into chaos.
