The number of Sekirei we've set free is 108.
And now the last one has spread and flapped its wings of light!
Finally, all the flags of the game's second stage have risen!
Now, flap your wings towards the night of the gods!
Towards that beautiful battlefield!

Seventh Wing
The Distant Tale
Looks like it's already over, doesn't it?
At the very least, I wanted to check whether it was Kuu-chan or not!
Dammit! It's all because of that moron on a bike!
That guy...
Huh?
He was probably an Ashikabi.
An Ashikabi? Him?
Yes. I'm not exactly sure, though.
Then I guess he came here to wing the last one as well.
That's a possibility.
Um...
Do you still want to... kill president Minaka?
What would you do if I said I still do?
You've got your own feelings about this matter, don't you?
I don't have the right to stop you.
However, right now, I want to return to Izumo Inn, and I want you to come with me.
I don't want to see a comrade die a meaningless death.
I won't go...
Or at least not for now.
I'm still kind of frustrated by the fact that I got winged by a man...
I-Is that so?
Minato-san!
Kagari-chan!
Comrades, huh?
Sahashi Minato.
I think I finally understand...
the reason why my body is reacting to you.
Kagari-san?
Kagari-san!
Get a hold of yourself, Kagari-san!
I'm quite shocked, but I think I finally understand, Minaka.
The importance of an Ashikabi to a Sekirei, that is...
Ouch. Where am I?
Oh, so you're finally awake, Kagari-san.
Miya...
Musubi-san carried you all the way here when you fainted on that roof the day before yesterday.
The day before yesterday?
Then I've been out cold for two days...
Don't worry.
I was the one who treated your wounds.
I wouldn't let that perverted animal touch you.
Miya... I'm...
Welcome home, Homura.
Whatever the reason you left might have been, you've returned home.
That alone makes me happy.
That's why I won't ask you any questions.
You really are like a mother.
How rude.
I don't look that much older than the rest of you, you know...
I'm back. Back from the dead.
I'm sure that guy over there would be quite relieved to hear that, too.
He's been watching over you this whole time.
Oh? Are you all right, Kagari-san?
You know, you suddenly collapsed and all...
I'm fine now.
Um...
My bandages are all soaked with sweat and it feels really uncomfortable...
Would you mind changing them for me?
N-Not really...
Let's see... Bandages and the ointment...
The hell?!
Uh-! On second thought, I can't do this!
H-Hold on a second! I'll get the Landlady right away!
Since we've come this far...
I guess I've got no choice but to tell you...
You might have noticed already,
but I'm different from all the other Sekirei.
To subordinate myself, even my gender can be changed at the will of my Ashikabi.
I'm not even allowed to live for my own sake.
In other words, Sahashi Minato,
my body will become what you desire it to be.
So...
What do you think?
Kagari san, breasts like those are poisonous for a virgin.
All right, I'm going to apply the ointment.
Sahashi, I'm trying to have a serious talk here...
What I desire is that you remain yourself, and nothing else.
You're fine the way you are.
And you should stay like that.
Thank you, Sahashi.
Then, I'll let you get some more rest, okay?
Why are they all sleeping in the corridor?
Ah, Minato-san...
We were worried about Kagari-san.
Kagari-san seems to be doing fine now.
Oh, thank goodness.
We can finally collect the rent, right?
"Collect the rent," you say...?
Minato!
You didn't do anything indecent with Homura in there, did you?
I-I didn't do anything! Jeez...
Really? So nothing happened?
Matsu-san!
Just think about it: our Homura-tan approaching you with naked breasts just like that...
Nooo!
Burning me out of the blue...
I see. Homura will do just fine then.
Yup.
Anyway, I'm relieved.
He really might have died if his powers didn't stabilize.
Mina-tan saved his life by winging him.
Matsu.
Homura's been winged, and Minato has increased the number of his Sekirei.
Weren't you the one eager to expand the party when I became winged?
Everything went exactly as you planned.
Am I right?
No, not really.
Mina-tan's power as an Ashikabi far exceeded my expectations.
So why is it that we need so much fire power?
Answer me, Matsu!
Just how much do you know about the Sekirei Project?
Matsu-san,
I don't think I can be of any use the way I am right now.
I don't know anything about the Ashikabi or the Sekirei.
Even during our escape plan, I put Musubi-chan and everyone else in danger.
This time as well,
the moment we approached Kagari-san, the battle had begun.
I've already had enough of this. Making all of you fight without even knowing the reason...
So please, Matsu-san, I want you to tell me.
Tell me everything you know about the Sekirei Project.
It seems you've finally found a way to use my abilities.
I, Sekirei No. 02 Matsu, will grant the request of my Ashikabi.
I see, so Uzume-san is...
Others didn't realize it yet, and I even managed to hide it from them as well,
but you know...
It's the path she's chosen for herself.
I can do nothing but await her return.
But you're fine with that, aren't you?
Well then, Mina-tan,
where would you like me to start?
T-Tell me everything.
I know the Sekirei Project is a secret plan,
and that danger awaits whoever learns the whole truth.
Still, upon my resolve as an Ashikabi...
I've made my decision.
It's all right. Should anything ever happen, I'll protect you.
Musubi-chan...
You're useless...
Tsu-Tsukiumi...
And you call yourself my Ashikabi?
No matter what dangers there might be, you have nothing to fear.
Kuu's here for you, too.
Thanks a lot, Kuu-chan.
Mina-tan!
Did you come here just to flirt around?
Or are you going to listen to what I have to say?
Sorry, sorry...
Everything... is what you said, right?
Very well.
This might take a little while to explain though.
2 years ago, a mysterious island suddenly appeared out of nowhere along the Japanese coastlines.
A couple of young students travelled out to this island and started its exploration.
This is where the absurd story of the Sekirei Project began.
This island soon became known as Kamikura Island.
TL Note: Kamikura means God's treasury.
What they discovered here were massive ruins that resembled a spaceship.
Within these ruins, they discovered what they believed to be a great treasure, now known as Overtechnology.
One of the students soon gained worldwide fame as an eccentric prodigy.
He, Minaka Hiroto, had used the remains of the Overtechnology and established a large company for himself.
But you already know this much, don't you?
Ah, I do.
The large company he established was M.B.I.
Correct. What they found was a spaceship,
and what this ship contained were 108 slumbering life forms.
108? Does that mean...?
Yes, those life forms were us, the Sekirei.
By the Sekirei, you mean you Sekirei...?
Oh my, that really is absurd.
Should you really be saying that?
Oh, are you fine already?
Thanks for your concern.
It's all thanks to Minato's nursing, you know.
Oh, it's love, isn't it? The power of love!
That's right, by Sekirei I mean Sekirei.
Isn't this... Matsu's wiretap speaker?
You've got a really bad habit of eavesdropping on people.
Oh, but this is just Duck-san who likes to talk about other people's secrets.
And I'm just a young, beautiful, and ordinary landlady.
Please stop that, Miya...
We don't need to worry though, Matsu won't say anything unnecessary.
Yup, everyone values their own lives after all.
That's right. If they came to know something they shouldn't, they might not be able to stay here any longer.
That would be quite pitiful, wouldn't it?
A man and his six Sekirei sleeping on the side of the road...
You're seriously scary...
Let's continue.
There were 108 Sekirei in slumber inside of the ship.
One of them was a full-grown adult.
Eight of them were in an embryonic state.
And the remaining 99 were all in the form of an egg.
One and eight...
Then, the single digit numbers the Disciplinary Squad were talking about...!
Indeed,
the single digit numbers are the Sekirei found either full-grown or as embryos.
These Sekirei were mischievously altered much more than the others.
Musubi and mischievous!
What are you two implying?
And so, all the Sekirei were adjusted into their current forms and then released.
Adjusted?
Musubi got adjusted by Takami-san.
So that's what she meant...
Oh, now I get it!
Adjusting those who had already started to mature would be a much different process than altering those still in the egg form.
Exactly, well thought out.
Therefore, being altered more doesn't necessarily mean to be made stronger than the rest.
Mischievous, mischievous...
The adjustments made would differ a lot, depending on each editor...
Don't talk about the editors!
I don't want to remember it!
Scary... Just scary...
My editor was Takami-san.
Mine, too!
Well, some editors managed to traumatize their Sekirei...
By the way, my editor was Takehito-tan.
Takehito-san...
You mean the Landlady's husband?
Most of the single digit numbers were adjusted by Asama Takehito,
the other so-called prodigy within M.B.I.'s ranks.
He also altered the adult,
which, strictly speaking, wasn't really a Sekirei...
Not really a Sekirei?
Ah, never mind! Just forget about that!
Oh, her tongue slipped.
I guess she doesn't value her life after all.
P-Putting that matter aside,
let me tell you about an incident which occurred before M.B.I. grew to its current state.
An incident which threatened the life of all Sekirei:
The invasion of Kamikura Island.
Minaka Hiroto registered the island as his own private property and went as far as removing it from the world map.
However, keeping such a thing secret from the rest of the world proved to be impossible.
Then one day, something finally happened.
The troops of an unknown army invaded Kamikura Island.
Invasion...
You were still asleep at that time, Homura-chan.
M.B.I. didn't have its own army yet,
and only five Sekirei were prepared for battle.
But we had to do what we could.
And that's their origin:
The S. Project's Guardians, The Disciplinary Squad.
Naturally, the invasion lasted for an extended period of time,
but the first attack wave was by far the strongest one.
The original purpose of the Disciplinary Squad was the defence of the island.
Its members were the numbers 1 through 5, with No. 01 as their leader.
Asama Takehito also provided special adjustment to these Sekirei,
which is where the rumours of the single digits originated from...
What is it?
The Disciplinary Squad?!
Yes, I was in it too.
Is it really that surprising?
My adjustments are perfect.
You're now as powerful as winged Sekirei.
No, you might be even stronger than that.
Go, protect the children and the eggs.
Oh, what a pain...
These invasions come around quite often, don't they?
Stop complaining.
By the way, you stink of sake.
An army of unknown origin?
I, No. 02, will find out who they are.
I'm amazed.
Usually we do nothing but fight, but at times we stand together like this.
Are you talking about us or the army that's attacking us?
You guys, cut the chatter.
Many of our kin sleep behind our backs.
Got it.
Well then,
I'll be making the first move.
Access Search!
Enemy armour division:
Helicopters: 12. Tanks: 15. Vessels: 2. Escort vessels: 1.
Well, these numbers shouldn't pose any problem for us.
Flower Whirlwind.
Heavenly Crush.
That's not very nice.
Once you've set your feet upon this island, trying to run away is futile.
It's already over, eh?
Yes, total annihilation.
Truly marvellous.
Leaving the adjustment process to you was indeed a good decision.
Right. Though, I'm surprised...
This doesn't feel like much of a victory.
I was so excited to learn more about Overtechnology,
thinking that I might be able to create something greater than humanity...
But in the end, our actions are no different from regular humans.
Is that so?
I, on the other hand, am thrilled!
Many people died today.
They deserved it. They spat towards heaven.
That's all there is to it.
Anyway, Asama-kun, I've just thought of something wonderful!
Let us introduce an age of gods, a legend of miracles into this world!
Kagari-san...
Why are you hiding all of a sudden?
Well, this is the first time I've heard you can sink battleships...
The Sekirei Project, known as the S. Project at the time,
took a drastic change of direction.
Its original purpose was to secure the safety of those found in the spaceship, and to conduct research on them...
Matsu-san was in the Disciplinary Squad...?
You're all overreacting.
I'm sorry.
But why did you quit the Disciplinary Squad?
Um, I didn't exactly quit...
Rather, I ran away...
Ran away?!
Well, I already told you so, didn't I? I'm on the run from M.B.I.
Now that I think about it...
why did you quit, Kazehana?
I'm so glad you asked.
President Minaka dumped me, so I set out on a journey to recover from the shock.
And somewhere along the way, it became a journey to indulge myself with sake.
I shouldn't have asked.
Sahashi-san must be having a hard time,
being surrounded by such twisted Sekirei...
Wha- Wait, Miya!
I'm also one of his Sekirei, remember?
There's something else I'd like to ask...
What happened to No. 05?
One day, he just stood up and left without any explanation.
I never thought he'd end up as one of the Mikogami of the South's.
People have their own problems, and so do Sekirei.
Musubi-chan...
There's 108 of us after all.
Uzume-san said something like that.
People have their problems, huh?
That does sound like something she would say.
Didn't I tell you already? Uzume no longer exists.
We might have to fight Uzume-tan at some point.
F-Fight Uzume-san?!
Mina-tan, you said you were prepared and resolute about your decision earlier, right?
Well... I did.
That also means that you have the will to fight.
With Homura-tan finally getting winged, the second stage of the Sekirei Project has some to an end.
At this point, we should wait for the president to make his next move.
Sorry, I've got a message.
Minaka... Hiroto?!
This is the president of M.B.I., Minaka Hiroto.
To all the Ashikabi I'm sending this message to: I've got an important announcement to make.
In order to make this game somewhat more interesting, I've decided to implement a new rule.
There are already Ashikabi among you who stand no chance of winning, and thus are planning on dropping out.
All the Sekirei in possession of these individuals shall hereby cease to function!

Yoohoo!
