If Tohka's power made Arthas feel close and familiar, Yoshino's power almost made Arthas hallucinate. It was almost a complete replica of his own power.
Of course, compared to his own power, Yoshino's power didn't have such a terrifying devouring and aggressive nature.
"Yoshino, do you trust me?"
"Yes, I trust Big Brother Arthas."
Staring at Arthas, Yoshino nodded obediently.
"Then, relax, close your eyes, and leave everything to me."
Arthas said this gently, and then Yoshino obediently closed her eyes, looking very expectant.
The girl had already made a gesture and extended an invitation, so Arthas naturally wouldn't be negligent.
He reached out his finger, lifted the girl's chin, and gently imprinted his lips on hers.
The girl's lips were soft and sweet, with a completely different feeling from Tohka.
Back then in the shopping mall, there had indeed been an indirect kiss, but that was an accident, so Arthas hadn't had time to properly feel the girl's lips.
But this time was different. Arthas had enough time to properly savor the girl's lips.
On the other side, the young girl obviously didn't know how to kiss, and just helplessly allowed Arthas to manipulate her.
After only a moment, she began to struggle in Arthas's arms, at a loss for what to do.
"What's wrong?" Looking at the girl, who he had released and was lying down, panting heavily, Arthas couldn't help but ask with amusement.
"I can't breathe..."
"That won't do. It's still too early if it's only to this extent." Arthas said with a mischievous smile, and then sealed Yoshino's lips once again.
"Ugh..." Only having time to let out such a mournful sound, Yoshino was pressed down on the rabbit doll by Arthas, and her lips were sealed again.
Along with the kiss, a mysterious power seemed to flood into Arthas's body. It felt as if something he had originally lost was happily returning to its rightful owner.
As the kiss continued, the Ice Puppet under Yoshino, and the clothes on her body, all dissolved into particles of light and disappeared into the air.
Then... The blizzard barrier that surrounded Arthas and Yoshino also suddenly disappeared at a rapid pace.
Yoshino's shoulders trembled constantly, as if in surprise.
"This is..." After all, she was still a young girl. Suddenly having all her clothes disappear naturally made her feel at a loss for what to do.
"It's alright now... Everything is over. From now on, I will protect you, Yoshino."
Hugging the girl, who had curled up into a ball because she was completely naked, Arthas said gently.
"Ah, ah, I failed again."
Kusakabe Ryouko, who was watching the gradually stopping rain from a distance, said this with a helpless expression.
"Prepare to withdraw the team."
Origami Tobiichi silently glanced at the place where Yoshino and Arthas had left. This time, there was no longer unwillingness in the girl's eyes. Instead, she seemed to be relieved.
It seemed that Origami Tobiichi herself had begun to waver, wavering about the matter of Spirits having to be killed.
After Yoshino's power was sealed by Arthas, nearly a month had passed intermittently. It seemed that everything was back on track.
Regarding Yoshino's addition, Tohka was clearly not very happy.
The girl began to throw small tantrums every now and then, and the number of times she pouted and acted spoiled with Arthas also increased.
As for Yoshino, she, like Tohka, was first observed on the bridge for a while, and then, like Tohka, she was brought to the Itsuka residence by Murasame Reine.
"So what's going on here!" One morning, Tohka pointed at Yoshino, who was hanging on Arthas's body, and roared with dissatisfaction.
As for Yoshino's side, Murasame Reine was calmly mixing sugar with her black tea.
Hmm, it seemed like the sugar cubes were about to run out again.
Looking at Murasame Reine, who was dissatisfiedly shaking the jar containing the sugar cubes, Arthas couldn't help but shake his head with amusement.
Although it's still early, I'm thinking of letting Yoshino live outside the ship in a few days.
With Yoshinon as a conversation partner, the accumulation of mental stress is less than Tohka's.
If that's the case, there's no problem... After all, as Ratatoskr, we still want the Spirits to properly master society and live happy lives.
Kotori, who was licking a lollipop, explained Tohka's question.
"Ahhh, I'm really sorry that my mental stress is too great!"
Tohka shouted, grabbing her hair, while Arthas on the other side amusedly handed Tohka a corn on the cob on the table.
The latter immediately forgot everything and happily began to eat the corn on the cob.
As expected, she could forget everything when she had something to eat, just like an idiot.
Shaking his head with some amusement, he gently picked up Yoshino.
"How is it, living on Ratatoskr?" Smiling lightly, Arthas asked.
"Um... It's... Very good. Big brother and the sisters are all very kind..." Still somewhat timid, Yoshino answered softly.
"It's just... It's just..." Saying this, Yoshino gripped Arthas's collar tightly.
"It's just what?" Looking at Yoshino's appearance, Arthas asked with amusement.
"It's just that I can't see big brother... Yoshino misses big brother."
Making a spoiled voice, Yoshino once again threw herself into Arthas's arms.
"You can see me every day from now on. Is Yoshino also living here?"
Arthas asked this, and Tohka immediately stopped gnawing on the corn on the cob, raising her head and staring intently at Murasame Reine.
Tohka had decided that if Murasame Reine said that Yoshino was also going to live here, then she would definitely make a big fuss this time, and even if she was given the most delicious things, it wouldn't change her mind.
"I'd be troubled if you guys were always living at my house, so I prepared this for you."
Along with Kotori's voice, Arthas and the others raised their heads and looked at the high-class apartment that stood next to the Itsuka residence.
"This building is a special residence for Spirits that was specially made by our Ratatoskr. Even if something unexpected happens, it won't be easily destroyed," Murasame Reine introduced.
"Oh... So you're saying that the three of us are moving there together?"
"That's right. Take good care of those two, and don't let them get into conflicts."
Kotori said this, and Arthas showed a somewhat troubled expression.
It seemed that it would be a little difficult to get those two to get along well.
