What should I wear to make Minato happy?
A Sekirei mark.
If I touch this and chant a prayer...
Hey, Uzume-chan. I heard from Miya...
that all of the clothes here are only used to cheer people up.
Your Ashikabi must be a great person for you to be so worried.
Yeah, she definitely won't lose to Sahashi-chan.
I'll let you have them, Nee-san. Just take as many as you want.
But...
It's fine... I've already seen her smile many times.
It's fine already.
To be honest, I need to go somewhere.
Go somewhere?
I don't know when I'll be back.
That's why I'm giving all of them to you.
Feather #4 The Final Feather
The celebration for Minato-kun's return and our wedding party have now begun!
K-Kazehana-san... did you get that from Uzume-san too?
That's right. It looks good on me, doesn't it?
In a way, it fits you too perfectly.
Speaking of which, where is Uzume-san?
I'll go get her.
Uzume-san?
Are you going somewhere?
Something came up.
I see.
I'm sorry, it's even your return party, Sahashi-chan.
No, it can't be helped if you have something to do.
Uzume-san.
We'll save your share for you. Come back soon.
Have a safe trip.
What's the matter?
It's nothing.
Mina-tan!
What are you doing, Minato?!
I'm coming!
All right then, let's go, Kuu-chan.
Yep!
Onii-chan?
I'm sorry.
Uzume-san said she had something to do, so she's going out.
That's too bad.
We need Uzume-tan's banquet performances at times like this.
Call Kagari over then! Get Kagari over here!
Are you already drunk, Tsukiumi?
Are you leaving on a long trip...
Uzume-san?
Miya...
I will leave your room as it is.
Yes?
We're having a banquet. If you don't mind...
Wha— Oh...
Sure, I'll be right there.
We'll be waiting for you, then.
What's with that feeling just now?
All right, if Uzume won't be here, then I'll show you my fancy water performance!
Stop! The landlady will get mad if you flood the room!
Why is it?
Lately, whenever I see this guy, I get anxious.
He seems too friendly a guy.
You're dead if you dare eat that, Minato.
T-Tsukiumi.
He's already losing before an argument even starts,
and his humble attitude displays confidence so low it touches the ground.
Just looking at him pisses me off.
W-What's the matter, Kagari-san?
It's nothing, really.
I'm full.
Kagari-san?
You didn't drink much, and you weren't eating at all...
I don't have an appetite.
It seems like you've been taking a break from work too.
Is part of you not feeling well?
This guy...
Like...
Like I would let a guy worry about my own body!
Anyway, don't worry about me.
K-Kagari-san.
I don't want to think about it.
Is my body...
Could it be...
reacting to a guy?
Hey, Musubi-chan.
I think Kagari-san hates me.
Really?
It seems like we've been butting heads lately.
But you can also look at it like this:
Hating is also a way of liking people.
Didn't you know?
There's something wrong there, Musubi-chan.
Did I say something weird?
Why? Why am I being...?
Why is it that only my body turned out this way?!
Answer me, Minaka!
It's a game.
Everything is a humorous game.
If that place causes you to despair...
then let me see you fight back.
When you reach the end of your shame and the ignition point of your emotions, you'll be able to understand why you exist.
Are we done with the laundry after this?
Yes!
The evening sky is so beautiful.
Yes.
It feels like all the trouble we went through was just a dream.
These situations are called...
the calm before the storm!
Didn't you know?
It feels like the peacefulness suddenly disappeared.
Did I say something weird again?
I really need to study a little, like you do.
Right, study. Study, study!
Study?!
I didn't study at all! Wait... I'm an examinee!
Ow, I drank too much.
This is bad! I forgot to register for summer classes because I was in the hospital!
I-I can't make it before the deadline anymore!
Oh, Mina-tan, about that...
M-Matsu-san?
Matsu's Specially Made Practice Test
Matsu's Specially Made Practice Test?
Matsu's Specially Made Practice Test
See how well you do.
Once you're done, bring it back to me.
W-Wait, Matsu-san?!
I-It's hard!
Is it hard?
Really, that's too sudden.
I'm back!
I won this match!
Y-You... coward...
You used your wind ability to turn something heavy into something light!
Oh? Not accepting defeat?
Was it a shopping competition?
What was that?!
Yes! The winner will go against Musubi.
Musubi-chan is the seed, huh?
Even so, they were drunk just a moment ago.
They sure do recover fast.
It's a game.
Everything is a humorous game.
Dammit!
You are probably the Sekirei prototype, Homura.
It's just "probably" though.
Although we did our best to make some adjustments,
your power will probably be unstable until you're winged.
Your gender is also unstable.
Even if you can be winged, there aren't a lot of Ashikabi who can wing you.
But once you react to someone, your body will change as your Ashikabi pleases.
Asama Takehito!
If you can prove that my body's change is really a reaction to someone...
I won't accept it! I won't accept it at all!
I accept your challenge anytime!
The anxiety and hate in my heart is warring with my body's reactions.
I am so sick of how you talk!
What do I want to do? What should I do?
You two can't fight! You need to be friendly!
Dammit! You're all making such a fuss when I'm this troubled!
Oh, you're already in here, Kagari-san?
I'm a guy, you three!
Don't you have any shame?!
All you need to do is to shut your eyes.
I, Onee-san, don't have anything that I can't show.
These people...
I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were already in here.
Do you want me to wash your back, Kagari-san?
No, it's fine.
Just leave me alone.
Let's wash each others' backs, Tsukiumi-san, Kazehana-san.
If you wash my back with your strength, my skin will peel off.
What? Where will my skin peel off?
How can I get out like this?
What's the matter, Onii-chan?
Did you hear something like a scream from the bathroom?
A sound?
How is it, Mina-tan?
Oh, I just finished!
It seems easier than I expected.
Oh, you're quite confident.
Let me take a look then.
H-How is it?
M-Matsu-san?
These are the questions from the New Capital University's entrance exams that I modified and even raised the difficulty of.
W-What... I see.
How could you not make it twice with this score?!
You got a perfect score!
Really? Yay!
Wonderful, Onii-chan!
Like I said...!
How could you not make it at this level?
Even if you get nervous during the real thing, it can't be that bad!
Listen! You don't need to attend summer courses or prep schools, Mina-tan!
B-But...
You need to fix your lack of confidence!
It's about time for you to believe in your potential, Mina-tan.
My potential...
I-In case something happens,
just wait for me to do something to the university's servers, and you'll pass easily!
T-That's going overboard.
Onii-chan!
Thanks!
A message?
So you really don't know where No. 108 is?
I-I told you I don't know!
Dammit, you perverted bitch!
Really? Then I have no more use for you!
L-Looks like it hurts.
You've been kind of mad ever since you couldn't see your brother.
Geez, another waste of time.
A message?
What's the matter, Mikogami?
Seems like things are starting to get interesting.
Can I get you to help, Akitsu?
Higa-sama, this message...
Can we get in touch with her?
At any time you wish to do so.
It's about time for the night shift.
You'll be late if you don't wake up.
Is it that late already?
It's so soft.
Hey, wait. Don't get carried away!
Dammit! You're annoying!
Tonight's instant dinner is...
What should I do? The rice case is empty.
You've got mail, Seo!
Mail?
Minaka Hiroto
I am MBI's president, Minaka Hiroto.
To all the Ashikabi whom I am sending this message to,
I have information that will interest you today.
There is one unwinged Sekirei in the northern area.
Yukari-san said that Minato-san has exclusive rights to my breasts!
What did you say?!
Even his sister acknowledged you?
You do look quite good despite that clumsy air of yours.
Dammit! If only the Disciplinary Squad hadn't gotten in my way!
It's first come, first serve.
It could be you who gets to wing them.
The final Sekirei?
Now that he mentions it, back when Kuu-chan...
Kuu?
I got a similar message back when I met that girl in green.
The president is finally making a move!
It hurts, Matsu-san!
Even the main body is nearly the same!
Minaka is riling up the Ashikabi again!
Speaking of which, this is the Northern area that Seo-san mentioned before.
They're gathering here.
The Ashikabi who want to get the very last Sekirei are all gathering here!
Mina-tan!
Yes!
Do your best! You need to wing the final one!
But if he only says it's the Northern area, we don't know where she is!
She's right here!
Here?
Well...
Matsu-san?
I don't want to be cremated yet!
Matsu-san!
Onii-chan.
Is there someone just like Kuu was before?
Well... I don't really know yet.
Can you go save her, Onii-chan?
Hey, can you?
Kuu-chan...
Kuu was lonely.
I had been crying all alone.
Definitely... she's definitely...
crying too.
Don't cry, Kuu-chan.
That's right, maybe what needs to be done is something that only I can do.
It's about time for you to believe in your potential.
If that girl is crying, and needs my help,
then I want to save her.
I love you, Onii-chan!
Kuu-chan?
And? Who was your first love, Kazehana-san?
That's right, I still haven't heard about that from you.
Do you want to know?
Yes, I want to know!
I'm at my limit...
What should I do?
I'm heading out.
I'm going to get sick from staying in too long.
Dammit... my body hasn't become stable yet.
What's the matter, Kagari-san?
A-Are you all right?
Kagari-san!
Hang in there, K-Kagari-san!
It's hot... it's like my body is burning.
But...
I'll go get someone—
It feels... nice.
Are you serious, Kazehana?
Musubi is surprised too!
I said it!
The previous crush of yours... is the president?!
What the hell are you doing?!
That hurts, Takami-kun.
What have you done.
The capital is too peaceful.
This is just a little event that the game master is giving the players as a present.
It's just a side show.
I haven't been winged yet.
I don't want to think about it at all.
Even though I don't want to think about it,
I... was indeed reacting to this guy.
It's only been a theory until now.
My body is reacting to an Ashikabi...
and on top of that, the Ashikabi I'm reacting to is a guy.
The change in my body... and the reaction of my body...
if that is really because of this guy...
if this guy is really the reason for everything...
What's going on?
I can't control my flame! Why?!
Fire... it can't be?!
Wait a second! Wait!
This person is... a Sekirei!
What's going on? What was that flame just now?
Thank you, Tsukiumi.
Thanks to you, I've calmed down.
The person I'm supposed to kill isn't you, Sahashi Minato.
K-Kagari-san, you're...?
Were you scared? I'm sorry.
But I won't apologize for punching you.
You're the first guy to touch my breasts.
Minato! D-Do you also have that kind of interest?!
Interest, is it?
That's not it! It was soft!
Soft?
Kagari-san?
Minaka isn't a man who can be easily killed.
I understand.
But... I'm already at my limit.
My body is definitely reacting to an Ashikabi.
I'm heading out, Miya.
I'm going to kill Minaka.
Homura...
