"!!!"
The abrupt motion startled Michiru, but fortunately Kanna was a dragon, so she wouldn't be burned.
"Tasty! I want more."
Kanna offered the cup to Michiru.
"Nope."
Michiru refused her request for another cup.
"But I wanna~"
Kanna had learned how to act cute, blinking her large eyes with a pitiful expression. Michiru was hit hard by the cuteness again, but for Kanna's health, she stayed firm:
"No, Kanna. Even tasty things shouldn't be overdone."
"Meh~"
Kanna's face immediately fell into a disappointed little pout. Michiru couldn't help smiling wryly.
"Kanna, weren't you already full? Why are you hungry again?"
"Tohru said that's just how dragons are."
"How dragons are?"
"Tohru said dragons have a strong sex drive, and by eating, we can redirect that desire elsewhere."
"Eh?"
Kanna's statement left Michiru stunned. So that was a new bit of knowledge: she never imagined dragons would have such a strange trait. Buta strong sex drive?
Her eyes shifted to Kanna's tiny frame, and a big question mark popped up in her mind. Could this little body really have desires?
"Kanna, how old are you now?"
"Fourteen thousand. Kanna's still a hatchling."
" "
That reply left Michiru speechless. Fourteen thousand and still just a hatchling?!
"What about an adult dragon, then?"
"Umm"
Kanna tapped a finger to her lip, thinking. "Tohru's an adult dragon. She's something like over fifty thousand."
" "
Michiru felt she was truly seeing what "dragon" meant. Just the lifespan alone was beyond anything humans could compete with.
"Right, so Kanna, you said Tohru is also a dragon. Why did she come to this world?"
Michiru was somewhat worried about a fully grown dragon's intentions.
"Dunno."
Kanna shook her little head. "I followed Tohru's scent here."
She sniffed. Her small nose twitched, and her face grew serious.
"Mm, Tohru's scent is definitely in this world."
"I see."
Michiru mulled it over. "So can you find your friend, then?"
"I need to be full for that."
Kanna rubbed her tummy and suddenly declared, "Like drinking warm milk."
"Er you"
Michiru gave a dry laugh. She got the picture now: after going around in circles, the point was that Kanna just wanted more warm milk.
"Alright, alright. One more cupthen straight to bed."
"Okay~!"
Kanna's face brightened happily.
"Hana, let me have that last piece!"
"Eh? But Rei Ao-nii and I made that together"
"Hmph. You just ate the food I made, didn't you?"
"Ugh! F-fine! All right, here it goes!"
Hana trembled as she brought out the finished dish.
"Gulp, gulp!"
Miko immediately opened her mouth and devoured it in one go. Exhausted, Hana tilted her head wearily, watching as Miko polished off the food she had made, even licking the "plate" back and forth until it was spotless.
Grumbling, she said, "You didn't leave me a single bite, and I'm the one who made it."
Miko shot her a look. "Hmph, it's got your flavor all over it, Hana. If it didn't, that'd be perfect."
"Wahhh~ Miko thinks I'm gross," Hana whimpered.
"Hehe."
Watching them, Rei Ao reached out and patted both on the head. "I'll make more for you next time. We'll stop for today; next time you can eat till you're stuffed."
"Mm-hmm."
At his words, the pair ceased arguing over food. Their cheeks flushed, and they clambered onto either side of him, resting their heads on his shoulders.
"Rei Ao-nii, are you heading back now?"
"Yeah, I've been here a while."
He stroked their hair, kissing each one on the forehead. "So, have you firmly decided you want to be mine?"
Miko and Hana shared a look, each seeing the other's shyness and trembling, but also a certain resolve.
Miko spoke first: "Rei Ao-nii, II want to stay by your side."
Clinging to his warm body, she felt an inexpressible infatuation. It wasn't quite to the level of love, but she did enjoy that deep sense of attachment.
Hana, on the other hand, giggled: "I want to be Miko's best friend forever."
"Forever?"
Rei Ao grinned mischievously. "Alright then, in that case, I'll give you a gift before I go."
He placed a finger on each of their smooth bellies. They felt a sudden heat at the point of contact.
"Wah!"
"Eek!"
They both let out startled cries. One had golden lightning dancing around her body; the other's hair turned fiery red.
"This is the protective power I'm giving you."

The blessing caused both of their spiritual sight to evolve. Naturally, what interested Rei Ao most was the special effect in their Inherent Device:

Chapter 360: Fix, Soul Magic! And Sweet Invitation!
Rei Ao was very curious about how Miko and Hana's Inherent Devices could fuse.
"Hey, Miko, Hana take out your Inherent Devices."
"Oh, oh!"
Obediently, they produced the Inherent Devices they'd just received. Both were mirrors bearing an eye-like motif, appearing as though each was one half that could fit together into a whole.
"Put them together."
In sync, the two brought the halves together.
"Wah!!!"
Instantly, the mirrors radiated a dazzling light that enveloped both of them. Rei Ao watched closely, eyes fixed on the scene.
When the glow dissipated, Miko and Hana were gone, and in their place was a strange new girl on top of him. She had black hair fading into chestnut in long waves, her face resembling a more mature Miko, yet her posture radiated the pure clarity of Hana.
"Mmm"
Letting out a soft moan, the girl quietly opened her eyes.
"Rei Ao-nii, why are you staring at me so hard?"
"Miko? What are you saying? Rei Ao-nii is obviously looking at me, right?"
" "
Catching sight of her left-gold, right-brown mismatched eyes, Rei Ao grasped the meaning of "fusion." Miko and Hana had merged into one person!
"Eh?"
Miko and Hana realized the situation as well. But before they could react in shock, Rei Ao suddenly scooped the merged figure into his arms.
"Miko, Hana, I've changed my mind. This time, I'll treat you both fairly."
"!!!"
At the Shuchiin Academy
"Yui!"
Spotting Yui entering the classroom, Yumiko instantly grabbed her and pulled her over to the staircase corner.
" "
Yui had no idea what was going on. Then she heard Yumiko lean in and whisper, "Yesterday, did you use any protection?"
"???"
Yui's face flushed bright red in a flash.
"Ugh, Yumiko, what are you saying?"
She'd just asked such an embarrassing question!
"Huh?"
Hearing Yui's response, Yumiko froze. What's going on? The previous day, hadn't they stayed up late chatting freely? They'd even discussed those blush-inducing topics openly. Why was she so awkward now, acting like she didn't even know what Yumiko was talking about?
Suddenly, Yumiko's mind lit up with a guess, and her expression shifted.
This weird situation Could it be the Yui here wasn't actually Yui?!
"Sigh, Yumiko, class is about to start. Let's go back."
Yui hurried away toward the dorm.
" "
Yumiko watched Yui's flustered steps, her face full of suspicion.
She strongly suspected the Yui in front of her was actually Yui's mom.
And in that case, what she'd just said might have been completely inappropriate, right?
Having experienced the fused form of Miko and Hana, Rei Ao finally gave them a fair share of "anime experience," sparing them a fight over favoritism. After the two unfused and split again, he departed that world.
Without further comment, that fusion had really been great an entirely new sensation, different from either Hana or Miko individually. Honestly, he was somewhat addicted. If he didn't have business in his own world, he might've stayed to research it more.
When he returned to his own world, the destination was the Yuigahama residence.
"Rei Ao-nii!"
Yuisuki blinked in surprise, seeing the familiar figure appear.
"Hmm?"
Rei Ao quickly realized: "Yui?"
Her eyes didn't belong to Yuisuki; she was Yui in Yuisuki's body.
"Yes, it's me! Rei Ao-kun, why'd you suddenly come to my house?"
Yui felt puzzled. Since Yuisuki hadn't told Yui anything, Rei Ao replied dismissively, "It's nothing, I just wanted to see you. Where's your mom?"
"Mom's gone to school in my place. Our bodies swapped again."
Yui scratched her head in embarrassment. So even though she was excited to see Rei Ao, she couldn't get kissy or clingy right now.
"Hmm, maybe I can fix that problem for you?"
Since he was here anyway, he might as well help out. He gazed at Yuisuki's body, but True Sight confirmed it was Yui's soul inside. His Blessing, likewise, followed a person's soul. Gently cupping her cheek, he bestowed a blessing:
[Name]: Yuigahama Yui
[Level]: 1
[Ability]: "Dragon Force," "Soul Magic," "Directed Swap," "Rei Ao's Blessing," "Inherent Device: Soul Ring"
"Oh?"
Yui awakened an ability he'd never seen before: Soul Magic the power to manipulate souls.
That was straightforward enough in description.
"Rei Ao-kun, what's this"
Naturally, Yui could sense she'd changed.
"I just gave you a blessing. Now you'll have new abilities, along with control over that 'adolescent syndrome' you have," Rei Ao explained patiently.
Even if Yui could control it, her ability might still be pretty limited, because it let her swap souls only with Yuisuki.
"Really?"
Yui's eyes lit up. She tested it immediately, shutting her eyes, focusing her mind, and instinctively using the power.
"???"
Seated on a chair, Yuisuki abruptly felt something yank her soul out, pulling her vision back, then forward again in a flash.
"!"
Yuisuki opened her eyes, dazed.
"Where is this?"
She hadn't figured anything out yet when suddenly someone kissed her!
"!!!"
It was Rei Ao. Wait! Logically, she should push him away. But after what happened yesterday, it was like a switch had been flipped. Even though her mind said push him off, her body instinctively responded to him.
Moments later, Rei Ao gave her a moment to breathe. Seeing how she'd unconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck, he smiled.
"Long time no see, Yuisuki."
"Mm!"
Yuisuki's face glowed crimson. She quickly let go and stepped back, licking her lips in confusion. "Rei Ao-kun, w-what's going on?"
"Don't worry, this is your home."
Taking her hand, he led her to sit on the sofa, explaining, "I just came back from Miko's world, took care of Yui's adolescent syndrome, and now that she can control it, your bodies swapped back."
"So that's it"
Yuisuki nodded blankly. Right then, Yui sent a message to Rei Ao in the group chat:
Yuigahama Yui: "@Rei Ao, I just made it to class. I won't go back. Rei Ao-kun, please tell Mom what's happening."
Yui, apparently unaware that Yuisuki was also in the group, wanted Rei Ao to pass on the message.
Rei Ao: "No problem, I'll explain it to her."
Not just explainhe was going to seize the opportunity to his advantage. Mrs. Yuigahama, after all, was quite sweetly inviting.

Chapter 361: Grown Up...
Miura Yumiko: "Just as I thought! I was saying how Yui seemed so strange just now, turns out it was Mrs. Yuigahama. Why did you two swap bodies again?"
Yuigahama Yui: "Haha, my adolescent syndrome wasn't completely cured before, but now it won't be a problem anymore."
Miura Yumiko: "Aha, and Rei Ao is at your house now. He must've been the one who cured you."
Yuigahama Yui: "Hehe."
Hiratsuka Shizuka: "@Rei Ao, you brat, I got your leave from school again. Do you have any idea how many days off you've taken this month?"
Rei Ao: "Shizuka-sensei, I know you can handle it. I'll come see you in the next couple of days. I'll have to give you a proper thank-you, right?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka: "You..."
Sensing the implications of Rei Ao's "thank you," Hiratsuka Shizuka blushed, pressing her legs together.
Hiratsuka Shizuka: "Ahem, anyway, it's no big deal to take leave, but in a few days we have the monthly test. You'll need to show some results."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Ehhh, so if his scores are good enough, it's fine if he doesn't come to school at all?"
Eriri: "Isn't that obvious?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka: "It's also a requirement from our superiors."
Rei Ao: "That's just a small matter, don't worry."
Hiratsuka Shizuka: "As long as you know your limits."
Rei Ao: "You should know my 'limits' better than I do."
Hiratsuka Shizuka: " "
Kachak!
A pen nib snapped.
Hiratsuka Shizuka thought, This kidwhy does he keep making lewd hints at me?
In the group chat, everything was equally clear to Yuisuki, who was also reading along.
"You can see for yourselfYui won't be coming back now."
"!!!"
Only then did Yuisuki realize her hand was being held all this time. Even though the two of them had already done everything, this time the body wasn't Yui's, it was her own.
"Rei Ao-kun, don't"
She had barely started speaking when Rei Ao abruptly released her hand.
"All settled with Yui, so I'll be heading back. See you next time, Mrs. Yuigahama."
With that, he disappeared on the spot.
Mrs. Yuigahama stood there with her mouth slightly open, dazedly staring ahead. After a long pause, she lowered her head to look at her right hand, which still felt the warmth he'd left. In her heart rose a sense of loss and reluctance, leaving her at a loss.
Just a second ago, she was resisting him, yet once Rei Ao was gone, she was like this.
"Yuigahama Yuisuki what are you doing"
She muttered, scolding herself for acting like a widow hungry for affection, yet alsosecretly looking forward to the next time she would see Rei Ao.
Kachak.
"I'm home."
"Miko, welcome back."
Hearing Miko's voice, Mrs. Yotsuya came out from the kitchen.
"I just finished making dinner."
"Mmm, Mom, II'm not hungry."
"Huh?"
Mrs. Yotsuya cast a worried look at Miko, who said she wasn't hungry. She looked utterly exhausted, with an unusual flush coloring her cheeks.
