Feather #3 The Wind's Response
So... who are you?
I was only attracted here by the scent of sake.
Enough messing around.
Don't tell me you're another one of this guy's Sekirei—
No, she doesn't have anything to do with me!
So... don't do anything to her!
This is bad...
Seriously, you're annoying.
Teach him a bit of a lesson, Haihane.
I forgot... to tell him to record it in high definition.
Hey now!
Here's my chance...
Get out of here, Kazehana-san!
I can't find him. Just where are you, Minato?
Musubi!
Tsukiumi-san!
Are you done with your errand?
This isn't the time for that! Minato has been kidnapped by the Disciplinary Squad!
The plate... broke?
I found him!
Yay!
He's in the Capital Port's fifth warehouse.
Matsu!
Matsu-san!
Perfect timing!
What, No. 105?
What, No. 104?
The two of them are working together.
This is getting out of hand.
Minato-san is at the port's warehouse, right?
Yes, without a doubt.
Tsukiumi-san.
Yeah.
It's too dangerous to just run in there unprepared!
Let's draft a plan first!
We don't have the time for that! Let's go!
All right!
At least bring your cell phone!
We really had such a hard time fighting the Disciplinary Squad before, you know.
Onii-chan...
It'll be fine if it's the two of them.
Miya-tan.
Besides...
It stinks of sake— Hey, what are you doing?!
I can't stand sake. My eyes are spinning...
Are you an idiot?
He's running away, isn't he? Hurry up and get him!
Kazehana-san!
Why you...
Flower Banquet.
Don't you... look down on the Disciplinary—
Squad!
The Disciplinary Squad... Disciplinary Squad is...
She's broken...
All right, it's about time I got serious.
I've been thinking the same thing.
You're too slow, Musubi!
Sorry!
Tsukiumi-san is much faster than when we were racing to buy groceries!
She's amazing!
Wait for me, Minato!
I will definitely rescue you!
You do quite well.
Now is not the time to relax, Granny!
Oh, do I look that old, Flat-breasts-chan?
Flat breasts?
Flat breasts...
You saw it, right?
You saw it, didn't you?!
Should I say I saw it... or that I was shown it?
A guy other than Natsuo saw it...
I'm going to kill you.
I am definitely going to kill you!
Oh... this looks rather bad.
Did you think you could beat both of us?
Haihane.
What are you doing?!
I'm sleepy.
You're so useless!
Let's use this chance to run.
Hurry!
O-Okay.
Like I'd let you run!
Destructive Quake!
Watch out!
Ashikabi-kun!
Everything would have been fine, had you called out No. 88 like I told you to.
Hang on! Hang in there!
It has nothing to do with Sekirei and Ashikabi.
For someone to get hurt because of me...
I definitely won't let that happen!
I definitely don't want.... that kind of memory again.
It hurts!
That's what he thinks... such pure motives...
Give up.
Shattering—
What's that?
That's right. You don't need a reason.
Kazehana-san?
I won't ask if you want me.
I... want you.
Wha— Hold on, Kazehana-san!
You worried about me... cried for me...
and loved me.
That's the kind of person we Sekirei need.
The breeze blowing from you may not seem very reliable...
but it's gentle.
Good morning.
Saying "good morning" at this time of day?
I haven't been able to get any sleep lately.
It seems pretty quiet. Where is everyone?
They followed the wind.
What?
It seems like you're finally the only one to remain unwinged.
The only one? You mean...?!
Now then, it's time to make dinner.
Hey, Miya!
What's going on?
It's hot... it feels like heat is flowing through my body.
My feelings for him are gently melting away from this warmth.
Thank you, my lingering feelings are finally gone.
She was... winged.
Winds of my vow, blow away the dark clouds that befall my Ashikabi.
Flower Whirlwind!
It's over there!
W-What's that?
Dunno...
It seems like we went through this last time too.
Dammit! I'll remember this!
T-That's awesome!
Sekirei No. 03, Kazehana.
I accept you as my Ashikabi,
my new love.
New... carp?
Now and forever, my Ashikabi-kun.
You two!
Just what are you two doing?!
Are you winged too, Kazehana-san?!
T-Tsukiumi... Musubi-chan.
What's the meaning of this, Minato?!
That's wonderful, Minato-san! Now you have five!
Keep quiet, Musubi!
You, what happened to that discussion we had about your lost love?!
Isn't it just like I said?
You don't need a reason to fall in love.
You, behave yourself!
Oh, I should have mentioned this already.
Only No. 01 and the Game Master can talk to me like that.
Stop it.
Everyone... needs to get along.
All right?
Ashikabi-kun!
Minato!
Minato-san!
Well, that was a nice show to watch.
But...
it's too bad she didn't make it in time.
Really...
I couldn't get through after all!
Do you think something happened?
Seriously, you idiot, Onii-chan.
Hello?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Okay, I understand.
Bye then.
What's the matter?
Onii-chan had something to do suddenly, and couldn't come.
Is that so?
But why is Mom the one who called me?
Now then...
Kazehana.
Don't worry, I won't do anything bad to them.
Tell Miya that.
That's not enough.
Not at all.
A child, No. 88, was taken away by a spy!
We have to get her back!
Bird that passes along love.
I've heard that is another name for Wagtails.
People become stronger because they love and are loved.
It's exactly the same with Sekirei too.
They are little birds that will, one day, spread their wings to pass along love.
But... having deviated from that purpose, I should at least protect the little chicks.
That's my job as the Sekirei of Destiny...
is it not?
Love...
Please tell the little birds what love means.
That is your...
Musubi-chan...
Thank goodness, you're awake!
Minato!
What? I...
Are you all right, Minato?
Are you in any pain?
No... is this the hospital?
It's the Capital Hospital that the MBI runs.
Someone told me that Ashikabi get free treatment here.
Told you... who did?
Looks like nothing is wrong with your brain.
You were temporarily unconscious due to a head injury.
Well, you can be out of here in two or three days.
M-Mom!
Mom?!
You seem thinner than before. Have you been eating well lately?
Well, yeah.
That's right, I had plans to meet Yukari.
I already called and told her that you suddenly had something to do and couldn't make it.
I heard what happened from Musubi.
Thank goodness...
Wait, why are you here, Mom?!
C-Could it be that, you're...
...Minato-san's mother?
Do you two know my mom?
I wonder where should I begin?
I told you before that I work at a pharmaceutical company, right?
Y-Yeah.
Sorry, but that was a lie.
A lie?!
MBI Sekirei Plan Chief
I am MBI's Sekirei Plan Chief, Sahashi Takami.
MBI Sekirei Plan Chief
Due to various circumstances, I am taking Sahashi Minato under my care.
MBI...
Musubi was maintained by Takami-san before.
Maintained?!
Oh.
I'm going to change the water real quick.
Wait, Musubi-chan!
There's something I'd like to ask you, Minato.
Karasuba-sama!
I suddenly wanted to see you, Muu-chan.
You're really perceptive to have known that I was here.
I hear about everything at the headquarters.
Oh, so that's why Takami-san knew too.
You didn't get to fight with Benitsubasa, right?
I couldn't make it in time.
Looks like it.
You were the one who persuaded them to do it, weren't you, Karasuba-sama?
Then, is it true that Musubi's stopped functioning?
It doesn't seem like Musubi-chan remembers...
but for a moment, her Sekirei mark disappeared.
And after that, her body began to glow.
No. 08, Sekirei of Destiny.
Let me, Yume, be your opponent.
No. 08?!
She reactivated after she stopped functioning.
The number "08" also appeared on her stomach.
A lot happened back then that I couldn't understand.
Just who is this No. 08, Takami?
It's finally time to say this.
You're supposed to call me "Mother" when you talk to me, aren't you, Tsukiumi?
Mother
M-Mom! What are you talking about now?
It's a mistake! I, Tsukiumi, made a huge mistake!
M-Mother!
It was just a joke.
Dammit!
Calm down, Tsukiumi!
There's still a lot we don't know.
There are also some special circumstances regarding Musubi.
What are Musubi-chan's special circumstances?
A level 4 Sekirei has what?! I understand.
Sorry, but I have work.
Bye then, Minato.
Wait, Mom!
We did send a recovery team, right?
What does "level 4" mean?
It refers to the amount of damage received before they cease functioning.
There are five levels.
Level 4... that's quite heavy damage.
You have the smell of blood on you, Karasuba-sama.
You need to become stronger, Muu-chan.
Just like that person.
No, you need to become even stronger than her.
And then there's that promise...
for the two of us to become the last Sekirei,
even if we have to risk the whole world in the end.
Until then, let's enjoy killing each other.
Karasuba-sama.
I s u m o H o u s e
I'm back.
Onii-chan!
I'm back, Kuu-chan.
We're celebrating Sahashi-san's return today.
You're exaggerating things.
It's really nice that nothing bad happened to you.
Kuu was really, really worried!
I'm sorry, Kuu-chan.
But it was my fault.
My Ashikabi was hurt because of my mistake.
I'm sorry, Minato.
Tsukiumi...
What's the matter?
Oh, you're back.
You must've gone through a lot.
Sorry to have worried you, Uzume-san.
I heard your number of Sekirei increased again.
Increased... Uzume-san...
Well, that's quite fantastic.
Geez...
Speaking of which, I haven't seen Kazehana-san.
Oh, if you're looking for Kazehana-san...
Welcome back, Minato-kun!
K-Kazehana-san!
Oh! Isn't this the legendary...!
W-What's with that outfit of yours?!
To address your newlywed wife by "-san."
Call me Ka-ze-ha-na—
It is forbidden to wear only an apron in the Izumo House.
Hey... you look scary, Miya.
No. 19 was taken out by the Black Sekirei?
I see... and Kazehana, No. 03... can't be helped anymore.
You guys don't want the North's Wiseman to get mad too, do you?!
That's why you should leave me the hunting in the northern area!
I get it... I understand.
In return for that, about Chiho...
Uzume-chan!
Well, I'm hanging up.
Miya said this isn't okay.
Can I take a look at your collection again?
Yeah, take any you like.
There really are a lot!
What should I wear to make Minato happy?
A Sekirei mark.
If I touch this and chant a prayer...
It seems like you're finally the only one to remain unwinged.
I won't become the property of anyone,
and I don't plan to.
Next Episode
He got a fifth Sekirei!
Is Minato trying to build a shogun's harem?!
Then you must be the manager of it.
Do you think I would say,
"Your method for serving tea is not good enough. Oh, that's why young ladies these days won't do,"
or something like that, Seo?
Like I would think that!
