Chapter 237: Reversed Yoshino?
There was no flair or playfulness—just their lips simply meeting. In that instant, Franklin felt a surge of pure spiritual energy flow into his body.
[Spirit Seal on Tohka: Success]
[Acquired Divine Authority Spirit Dress · Tenth: Annihilation Duke]
[Current Connection with Origin Spirit: 56%]
[Current Mission Objective: Establish close bonds with the ten great spirits (2/10)]
After a long moment, their lips parted. Tohka's spirit dress dissolved into specks of starlight and vanished completely into the air. Noticing this, Tohka blushed faintly and hugged Franklin tightly.
"Don't go yet—someone might see."
Seeing how cute she looked, Franklin snapped his fingers lightly. A purple bra and matching panties—exactly to his taste—appeared, followed by the school's girls' uniform.
When they returned to the family restaurant, Tohka clung tightly to Franklin's right arm, pressing her whole body against his side.
The moment they stepped inside, Franklin frowned. The regular food on the table hadn't been touched at all, but the sundae was nearly gone.
Feeling Franklin's stern gaze, both Yoshino and Yoshinon shivered slightly.
The two little ones turned around, peeking over the seat backs with half their faces showing, looking at Franklin with obvious guilt.
"Ahem. Yo, little bro Franklin's back. Did you already soothe Tohka's fragile little heart?"
At the provocation, Tohka huffed, turned her head away, and happily hugged Franklin's arm even tighter.
Franklin walked over, activated his Illusionary World Creation, and flicked the puppet's head lightly. The crisp sound didn't seem like it came from a puppet at all.
"Ah! Ow… ow… ow!"
In an instant, Yoshino's puppet clutched its rabbit head with both tiny hands.
"Jerk Franklin, what do you think you're doing?"
"Didn't I tell you to make sure Yoshinon eats properly? What are you doing?
I just finished adjusting her body, and you let her eat that much cold stuff? And now you're trying to change the subject. This time it's just a forehead flick—next time it'll be a spanking."
Yoshino, who had been about to explode, instantly looked guilty.
"I'm Yoshino, okay? Yoshinon really wanted it—how could I say no? It's been years since she had any, and it's been years for me too…"
Her voice grew quieter as she spoke. Franklin really hadn't considered that until now.
But once he did, he let out a soft sigh and gently placed his palm on Yoshino's puppet.
Using soul power, he reached out to communicate with Yoshino. Since they had connected through their souls once before, the link formed instantly.
Sensing the state of Yoshino's soul, Franklin sighed again, activated Illusionary World Creation, and used Yoshinon as the template.
Feeling the difference in their soul states, he shaped a body: black rabbit-ear cloak, gray-black-and-white long hair, an eyepatch over the right eye similar to the one on Yoshino's puppet, black bra, black panties.
Sexy, seductive, yet full of energy—the new Yoshino was brought into existence by Franklin. He fully connected the body to the independent personality soul that had been Yoshino, and a wave of icy chill spread through the air.
Yoshinon's eyes went wide as she stared at the girl in front of her who looked exactly like herself, falling into shock and disbelief.
Yoshino looked down at her new body, gently clenched a fist, then glanced at Yoshinon behind her, seemingly unable to believe the change herself.
Feeling Franklin's hand still resting on her head, she frowned, reached up, and swatted it away.
"Don't touch me—don't you know men and women shouldn't casually touch? And you gave me such pervy clothes. As expected of Pervy Little Bro Lin."
Without another glance at Franklin, she grabbed Yoshinon's hand and sat back down at the table.
"Hey, Mr. Compassionate Lin, I want a sundae. Super large. Super-super-super large."
That arrogant look and tone gave Franklin his first real taste of what a bratty little gremlin was like—especially paired with that sexy outfit…
"Lin, why do I feel like she's begging for a beating?"
Hearing Tohka's words beside him, Franklin nodded in full agreement. The moment was caught perfectly by Yoshinon.
She looked timidly at Franklin, a plea mixed in with her shyness. "Lin… Yoshino is really nice. Please don't bully her."
At those words, Yoshino froze for a second. Franklin paused too. Coming back to his senses, he quickly shook his head and pulled Tohka to sit across from them.
"Don't worry, Yoshinon. Yeah, Yoshino definitely deserves a spanking, but we'll let it slide this time. We won't bully her."
Seeing the relief on Yoshinon's face, Franklin pushed aside his scattered thoughts and didn't waste any more time. With a snap of his fingers, all the food on the table vanished.
A super-large strawberry sundae appeared in its place, with a small spoon stuck in each side.
"You two share this one. It's plenty—you probably couldn't finish more anyway."
The sundae was thirty centimeters tall and fifteen centimeters across. Both Yoshino and Yoshinon's eyes lit up instantly, everything from moments ago completely forgotten.
"Thanks, Little Bro Lin. I'll admit—you're actually a good guy."
"Thank you, Lin… Lin really is a good guy."
Hearing those "good guy" cards made Franklin genuinely happy. Seeing Tohka beside him staring at the sundae with sparkling eyes,
Franklin snapped his fingers again, and a large chocolate sundae appeared on the table.
"Tohka, you try some too. It's pretty good."
Seeing the doting look in Franklin's eyes, Tohka hugged him tightly and immediately started eating.
Yoshino leaned over and whispered something in Yoshinon's ear. Franklin watched Yoshinon's cheeks turn bright red in an instant.
After hesitating for a long time, Yoshinon scooped a small spoonful of strawberry sundae, sat up straight, and held it out toward Franklin.
"Lin… you get the first bite…"
That timid yet determined look told Franklin he couldn't refuse—and honestly, he didn't want to refuse something this nice.
He gently ate the spoonful and smiled. "It's delicious. Thanks, Yoshinon. And… thanks, Yoshino, too."
At Franklin's thanks, Yoshinon pulled her hat down lower, but Franklin could clearly see her cheeks turning visibly red.
Meanwhile, Yoshino next to her kept eating big bites, completely unbothered by what had just happened.
"Lin…"
He met Tohka's eyes—she'd already eaten quite a bit and was now looking at him with a face full of grievance. Franklin knew that earlier scene had really gotten to her.
Smiling, he rubbed her head gently. "Please, Tohka? I think if you feed me, I'll be really happy."
The moment the words left his mouth, Tohka's eyes lit up again. She scooped a huge spoonful and held it out to Franklin. He ate it in one bite.
Then he smiled and lightly rubbed her head again. "The sundae Tohka feeds me is delicious too."
When she immediately offered another big spoonful, Franklin ate it, then quickly waved his hand. "That's plenty. The rest is all yours, Tohka."
