To me the last two chapters seemed like some kind of manga 'filler' Mashima (quickly, or not) made up so he can focus on the upcoming arc. While another mangaka would take a break, Mashima gives us a fanservice/comedy chapters instead, lol.

Not like I'm complaing, the chapter was funny but for a second I was like 'Yay Spirit arc' as well. xD
