Just moments ago, Akira used "Severing Silver Hand" to enhance the Dragon Slayer Sword, granting it the conceptual ability to "sever anything." Then, with the "Final Secret Sword," Akira moved at a speed beyond limits, cutting the connection between the remnant of the evil dragon's soul and Tsubaki, freeing her from the evil dragon's influence.

As the connection with the evil dragon's soul was severed, Tsubaki slowly opened her eyes, still dazed.

"Huh? What's going on...?"

Akira, holding her in a princess carry, opened the visor of his Red Dragon Emperor's Armor and looked down at Tsubaki in his arms.

"Tsubaki, you failed to integrate the Dragon King's Sacred Gear, and it caused you to go berserk. But now, I've severed the connection between you and the Dragon King's Sacred Gear."

"Eh? Akira? How did you...?"

Tsubaki's eyes sparkled with a mix of emotions.

[How did you become even more handsome than before?]

Tsubaki was a conservative and shy girl. Despite her mature appearance, she was quite reserved on the inside. However, being conservative didn't mean her emotions weren't intense. As she felt Akira's aura becoming even more alluring, her emotions finally broke through her self-imposed limits. She reached out and hugged Akira tightly.

"Akira, thank you for saving me!"

Thump... Thump-thump-thump!

Tsubaki's heart raced as she breathed in Akira's scent. She could feel her blood rushing to the surface of her skin, her heartbeat accelerating uncontrollably. Tsubaki wasn't wrong—after Akira's high-dimensional succubus bloodline evolved for the second time, he had indeed become even more handsome.

"You don't need to thank me, Tsubaki. Isn't it normal to save someone you care about?" Akira replied softly.

"Eh?"

It took Tsubaki a few seconds to fully grasp what Akira had just said. She released her hold on his neck and looked into his eyes. It didn't take long for her to confirm that Akira wasn't joking.

"Tsubaki, you like me too, don't you?" Akira directly pierced through the last layer of hesitation.

Tsubaki fell silent for a moment. Then, she slowly raised her head, met Akira's gaze, and nodded.

"Yes, that's right. I do like you, Akira."

With all the courage she could muster, Tsubaki finally confessed the feelings she had buried deep within her heart.

"But... this is enough, Akira. I can't ruin your relationship with Sona. As long as I can serve both of you as a Queen, I am already fulfilled and happy." Tsubaki bit her lip softly. For her, this was enough.

"Tsubaki, can you feel my current strength?"

"My strength?"

"Akira, your strength is... at the level of a Maou?"

"No... Akira's current strength is even beyond that of a Maou!"

Tsubaki's knowledge was limited, and she wasn't entirely sure what lay beyond the level of a Maou. She only knew that the remnant of the evil dragon's soul was at the peak of Maou-level strength, and Akira's current aura far surpassed that!

"That's right. I've reached the level of a Super Maou," Akira nodded.

"At this level, I can already begin to bend the rules. The Dragon Kings and the original Four Great Maous all exist within this realm."

"Part of the reason I trained so hard was to eliminate the kind of thoughts you have, Tsubaki."

"Demons are creatures who respect strength above all else."

"With my current power, even if I were to establish a relationship with both you and Sona, no one would dare to say a word."

Hearing Akira's explanation, Tsubaki covered her mouth in surprise.

"Eh? Akira, you trained so hard... for me?"

"Well, I wouldn't say it was entirely for you, but I did train with the goal of making sure you wouldn't have to hide your feelings anymore."

Akira's explanation was sincere and heartfelt.

"I believe you, Akira."

Tsubaki bit her lip softly, a gentle smile spreading across her face as her feminine charm unconsciously shone through.

"Then... as a reward for your efforts..."

Mwah~

With a soft sound, Tsubaki planted a quick kiss on Akira's cheek. After kissing him, she buried her face deeper into his chest, her face burning with embarrassment. However, she still managed to look into Akira's eyes and express her feelings directly.

"This... is my response to you, Akira."

Tsubaki's voice was soft, almost like a whisper. But for Akira, it was more than enough.

Of course, Akira wasn't someone who could be easily satisfied.

"Tsubaki."

"I'm a greedy person, so this kind of reward might not be enough~" Akira said, locking eyes with her.

"Akira... I prefer to be passive..." Tsubaki said, closing her eyes.

She truly did prefer to be passive. In the original storyline, Tsubaki had always been too shy to express her feelings.

"That's fine, Tsubaki. I'll take the lead," Akira whispered into her ear.

Perhaps moved by Akira's words, Tsubaki opened her eyes and wrapped her arms around him, pressing her lips against his.

Soft, warm, and intoxicating.

Akira gently lifted Tsubaki's chin, savoring the taste of the black-haired, glasses-wearing beauty. Tsubaki, with her Yamato Nadeshiko-like demeanor, was usually reserved, but once her emotions broke free, they became unstoppable. In this regard, she was quite similar to Akeno.

Just as Tsubaki was greedily enjoying the moment, a familiar voice reached her ears.

"Tsubaki, I've known for a long time that you like Akira."

Sona's voice snapped Tsubaki out of her daze. Akira, not wanting to push things too far, released Tsubaki, who seemed to want to say something.

Tsubaki looked up at Sona, her gaze slightly evasive. She knew about Akira and Sona's relationship. What she was doing now was essentially stealing Sona's man.

However, what Tsubaki didn't know was that Sona wasn't here to scold her. In fact, it was quite the opposite—Sona was here to encourage her.

Sona looked at Tsubaki, who was finally showing her true feelings, and smiled gently.

"Tsubaki, you've worked hard."

"For so long, you've buried your feelings for Akira."

"Actually... you liked Akira even before I formed a marriage contract with him, didn't you?"

"...Yes..." Tsubaki nodded after a moment of silence.

"That's right, Tsubaki. That's how it should be," Sona continued to encourage her.

"If you like someone, you should say it."

"You don't need to worry about me or think that this is something that would hurt me."

"In fact, it's quite the opposite."

"It's not you who should feel guilty, but me."

"Because of my existence, you've been suppressing your feelings for Akira all this time."

"No."

Tsubaki shook her head.

"You're not at fault, Sona. This was my choice, and it has nothing to do with you. Besides, forming a marriage contract isn't something you could decide on your own."

Tsubaki had long since accepted that Sona wasn't to blame.

"But, Sona, you're right. If you like someone... you should say it."

With renewed courage, Tsubaki reached out and cupped Akira's face, making sure their eyes met once more. Akira had already expressed his feelings for her, but she hadn't yet told him how she truly felt.

"Akira... I love you..."

Tsubaki bit her lip, then smiled warmly.

"Akira, I love the way you smile in the sunlight."

"I love your determination to improve yourself, even when your strength was lacking."

"I love how you refused to fall behind Sona in academics, always striving to catch up and surpass her."

"Akira, your handsomeness, your excellence, and your hard work—I've always admired them."

"If possible, I want to stay by your side and continue to witness your growth... until the end of my life."

Tsubaki's confession was heartfelt and passionate.

"I love you... I love you... I love you... Akira..."

"I've loved you... for a very, very long time."

By the end, tears were streaming down Tsubaki's face. Her tears were a mix of relief and joy. Today, she felt a happiness and fulfillment she had never experienced before. Because Akira had expressed his feelings for her before she even confessed, and because Sona had given her approval.

Today was a day Tsubaki would remember for the rest of her life!

Akira looked at Tsubaki, who was crying while confessing, and reached out to wipe away her tears.

"Tsubaki, I love you too."

Akira didn't say much more. Instead, he leaned in and gently kissed Tsubaki's lips once more. The kiss wasn't long or intense, but it still deeply moved Tsubaki.

Women are creatures like this.

A kiss is often the final barrier.

Even if you can enter a woman's body, you may not be able to reach her heart.

After the kiss, Akira slowly pulled away. At that moment, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding!~]

[Congratulations, host, for triggering a Villain Sign-In!]

[Sign-In Level: Gold.]

[Sign-In Event: Subjugation of the Five Great Clans.]

[Requirement: Subjugate the Five Great Clans of Japan and their subordinate families, ensuring absolute loyalty from their leaders.]

"Absolute loyalty, huh? So, mere superficial submission isn't enough."

"This sign-in isn't just about subjugating the Five Great Clans—it's about making myself the head of the Five Great Clans."

"Of course, if the clan leader is a woman, I could always try to make her my subordinate."

"I remember... Tsubaki is a member of the Tsubaki Clan, one of the Five Great Clans. Although... she's more of an exiled member."

Roar!!!

The roar of the evil dragon interrupted Akira's thoughts. At the same time, dozens of dark energy streams surged toward Akira and Tsubaki!

"Akira! Watch out!" Tsubaki shouted, instinctively shielding Akira with her body.

She knew her physical strength wasn't high, and acting as a shield wouldn't do much. But in the heat of the moment, Tsubaki acted purely on instinct.

Akira, however, was more than capable of reacting. With a slight shift of his body, he took the full brunt of the evil dragon's attack on his back.

A few seconds later, the evil dragon's energy was spent.

Sizzle~

A white mark appeared on the Red Dragon Emperor's Armor, but it quickly faded, leaving the armor as pristine as ever. The armor's defenses were already incredible, and Akira's power far surpassed that of the evil dragon's remnant soul.

"I wasn't planning to deal with you, but since you're asking for it, I admire your courage."

Now that Tsubaki's feelings were clear, Akira had no intention of playing around with the evil dragon any longer.

[Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!!!]

[Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!!!]

Golden sacred flames gathered in Akira's chest. As he had said earlier, to deal with an evil dragon, sacred power was the way to go!

[Extreme Flame!]

Boom!!!~

A massive golden fireball, dozens of meters in diameter, shot toward the evil dragon's remnant soul.

Screech!!!~

The evil dragon, sensing the imminent threat, let out a desperate roar. Dark energy, black dragon veins, evil aura, and explosive orbs—every technique the dragon had used in life was unleashed in a last-ditch effort to survive.

But... it was useless.

The sacred flames burned through everything in their path, unstoppable.

Sizzle... Sizzle... Sizzle...

When the flames hit the evil dragon's soul, the two forces clashed, creating a sound like water evaporating on a hot iron plate. Taking advantage of the moment, Akira used Shukuchi to instantly close the distance between himself and the evil dragon.

Boom!

With a simple, unadorned punch infused with divine energy, Akira's fist collided with the dragon's soul, sending it flying into the air.

Akira took a single step and appeared above the weakened dragon soul.

And then... he punched again!

Ora... Ora ora... Ora ora ora ora ora ora ora!!!

What do you do when an evil dragon's soul goes berserk?

You keep punching it until it stops!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

HES! HES! HES! HES! HES!!!~

Multiple afterimages of Akira appeared in the air, all relentlessly pummeling the already weakened dragon soul.

Boom!

Finally, Akira delivered a powerful kick to the dragon's head, slamming it into the ground.

After a thorough beating, the evil dragon's soul was on the verge of collapse.

Groan...

The dragon could no longer roar—it could only let out pitiful whimpers.

Akira looked at the dragon's sorry state and shook his head. A red dragon's phantom emerged from the Boosted Gear's jewel and devoured the weakened evil dragon's soul in one gulp.
