Tenjū was about to strike Yan Mo and Shion when suddenly he felt someone's gaze on him. Yuri stepped into the middle of the battlefield.
"Are you insane?!" Sayaka shouted after her.
"I-I know what I'm doing," she replied shyly.
Yuri tried to fix her sight on the gravity god, but it didn't work.
W-why won't it work now, when I need it? she thought, terrified.
Something stopped Tenjū mid-swing. Thick threads of liquid gold wrapped around his neck, wrists, and ankles.
Hoshizuma, in Yuecheng's body, smiled under his breath.
No way. Not only did Ayame save him, she performed an incomplete reverse transmutation that gave him another power. Ayame, you sneaky beast.
Yue couldn't help himself, he grabbed his belly and started laughing. The two brothers looked at him, surprised.
"What's so funny?" Asahi asked, completely confused.
"N-nothing," Yue replied through his laughter. "Y-you wouldn't understand anyway."
"Yue, you're acting weirder and weirder," Shion the Second said.
