There's something that I want to tell you first.
Homura-tan... he's not a normal Sekirei.
He'll get mad if I say anymore, so I'll stop...
...but if you want to know the truth, catch him and make him confess.
Feather #6 Words of Marriage
From here on it's the Northern area.
Ever since those people escaped, they won't even let us ride on trains once they find out that you're a Sekirei.
That's because the checks have become stricter.
Anyways, let's find her!
The last Sekirei, No. 108!
W-We aren't sure that the last one is Kuu.
Even so, we can't let this pass us by!
It's going to be sad if she's caught by some weird Ashikabi!
You see, it's happened before.
There was that pervert who tried to kiss Shiina.
It could be someone who makes me angry, like him.
What is she doing?!
I don't care about one-on-one anymore.
Mutsu, go and take care of that hovering girl!
Roger.
It's fire! He uses natural elements!
That's rare! I want him!
Mutsu?
Oh? You must be Mikogami Hayato-sama from the Southern area.
This feeling... he's an Ashikabi!
Ashikabi?
Hey, you! Is that hovering Sekirei yours?
She's a subordinate of ours... let's just leave it there.
I am Eastern area's Higa Izumi's...
Are you East's Higa?
...secretary, Kagizaki.
There, we now know each other.
Sekirei, huh?
Please don't worry.
Before we capture No. 06, as long as you just wait there nicely, we won't do anything to you
Pissed!
This grown-up is messing with me!
Mutsu, drop him!
You make it sound easy.
Had you brought at least two or three more Sekirei, that would be another story.
Looks like the main objective now is no longer the last Sekirei.
I can kiss you too!
No thanks.
Well, five of them... ten of them... makes no difference to me.
That brat...
Akitsu!
It's time to run.
Eh? Are we running away?
He won't make it now. Give up.
Eh? We came for nothing?
You asked me why I have a master.
This is bad!
That's a good, confident look.
For your Ashikabi's sake, you are not afraid of death.
That's the look.
It's not because he became my Ashikabi that he's my master.
Rather, it's because I think he could become my master.
That's what I think.
He said he wanted me even though I am this broken.
Even though his mark cannot be inscribed on my body...
...he's still... my master.
You can be winged, right?
I'm jealous.
Shall I have you come with me?
There was a loud noise just now!
Did someone get there first? Hurry, Shiina!
Yukari-san, are you all right?
Dammit! Be careful!
Huh?! Weren't you the one who ran into me suddenly?!
That's because you... oww!
Your knee...
Dammit! A girl's leg is scraped!
It's your fault!
You can take care of this kind of wound by licking it.
Let's go, Shiina.
Right.
You're a pretty wild girl.
That was a pretty good kick.
If you do exactly as I say, I won't kill you.
Sekirei's guardian?
So that there's someone who can protect Sekirei before they meet their Ashikabi.
Will you accept, Homura?
The Sekirei... the Sekirei that I saved...
...as long as they met their Ashikabi...
...I am satisfied.
But... to be unable to kill Minaka with my own hands...
Homura!
Nice work.
You can leave the rest to us.
Uzume, you...!
He's unwinged! He's unwinged!
He's burning, Kagizaki.
What should we do?
The output of this body is rather unstable.
I wonder if he's fitting to be Higa-sama's Sekirei.
Higa? The East's Ashikabi?
I see. So that's how the game is.
That's unfortunate.
You guys came here for nothing.
Minaka!
Instead of being the prize of a game you set up,
I would rather meltdown here!
Watch closely as No. 06, Homura, dies, Minaka!
I'm sorry.
Miya, Takami-san, I... am already...
Are you my rival even so?!
Matsu is really worried about Kagari-tan!
I-I am only worried...!
Kagari-san!
What are you doing, Homura?!
I have told you already! If you give up now, I won't forgive you!
Kagari-san!
Is that the West's Sanada?
No, doesn't seems like it.
Is he... from the North?
You guys... why?
Kagari-san, are you all right?
Sahashi?
Kagari-
Stay away!
Didn't I tell you I don't need your pity?
I-It's not pity!
That's right! It's not pity!
We are here to collect your rent!
M-Musubi-chan...
Homura! How dare you hide this from me?!
You better be ready when we get back.
Kagari-chan, we're here to get you!
It will be troublesome to me if you kill off the president.
The memories of my past love are still fresh.
Oh, it's not that still have a lingering affection for him!
Lingering affection?
Are they enemies? What should we do?
Even though he's about to break,
to let an unwinged Sekirei be snatched away before my eyes...
...would be unsatisfactory.
Let's take care of them, then!
Of course, you'll fight too, No. 10.
That guy is the scarfed Sekirei!
What tough luck for us to meet here.
Hold on. Leave her to me.
It's a rule after all, so I will tell you my name.
No. 101, Oriha. My Ashikabi is Higa Izumi.
Attacking me by surprise, huh? How insolent.
To actually point your blade at me, you've really got guts.
No. 09, Tsukiumi!
I will pay you back double for you to pick a fight with me!
No. 88, Musubi! I'm fist combat-oriented!
No. 86, Katsuragi. I'm leg-oriented, I guess.
Here I go!
You aren't surprised to see me here.
Well, yeah.
You have your own reasons, and I expected it.
You attacked No. 95, and picked a fight with me,
and you once tried to touch my Sekirei mark.
And, for you to leave Izumo House without saying anything...
...do you think Miya, I, and Matsu wouldn't notice anything?
I really can't beat you, Nee-san.
Tell me something.
This is all for your Ashikabi's sake, right?
Isn't that the only reason there is for a Sekirei to fight?
Oh, it's love, right? It's love, right?
Nee-san, all that seriousness has just gone to waste.
But that's the right choice for a Sekirei.
All right, I will fight you.
Come as you please.
How come you always look down on people?
But... because of how you are, I feel saved now!
Isn't that the Ashikabi with difficult circumstances who lives with the North's Hannya?
He's quite an unremarkable young adult.
Let me go!
Kagari-san, the reason we are here is not because we pity you.
Umm, well...
...I want you to become my Sekirei.
That's why...
You're just the same.
You're the same as the other guys who came here because of the message...
...and Minaka!
I'm just a game to you anyways, right?
You want my power?
Do you really want that many Sekirei?
Well that's unfortunate.
I'm already broken.
This body is disgusting, isn't it?
You can't even tell if I am a guy or girl.
Even my power isn't even stable.
I can't even live for my own sake.
I will incinerate myself right here! It never existed...!
The reason for my existence.
It's hot!
What are you doing? Let go!
You'll be burnt to death!
I won't let go.
How can there be no reason at all?
Sahashi!
You're an important partner to us at Izumo House.
I was really happy.
When Musubi-chan and I fell from the sky and got hurt, you patched me up.
When I was chased out of my apartment, and didn't know what to do,
I was allowed to stay at the Izumo House!
I was really happy back then!
For just that...
Enough, let me go!
I heard from Mom...
...that Musubi-chan and Kuu-chan also received help from Kagari-san!
Tsukiumi told me that you're a rival that she doesn't want to lose!
Everybody came here because they want to save you!
Their feelings... and my feelings...
...are not just a game!
Ow...
Kagari-san!
Leave me now! I can't control my power anymore!
I'm already...
I... I won't let you die!
I will definitely...!
Saha-
You did it! You finally did it, Mina-tan!
Oh, what did he do?
Mina-tan is...!
Oh, my!
This is...
Kagari-chan?
The fire is stabilizing.
What is this feeling?
Both the heat that burns my body, and my pain are gone.
The power and my body... feel like they are in sync with my soul.
Homura, you are a special Sekirei.
You can be winged, but there may not be an Ashikabi who can wing you.
But that's only temporary...
An Ashikabi's power is the power of destiny.
As the emotional bond towards others deepens...
...the Ashikabi's power becomes stronger.
There will definitely be someone who will come to your side one day...
...and become the first person under the guidance of destiny.
That is your Ashikabi.
Seems like the fire's been extinguished.
Thank god...
Sahashi!
I'm sorry...
Are you stupid?! Jumping into fire like that!
Mom told me that your power might stabilize if you were winged.
That's why, I... umm... sorry.
Could it be that you are apologizing because you kissed me?
Yes... I'm sorry.
Seriously... a guy like you...
It makes no difference to me anymore.
Just thinking about it makes me feel stupid.
You will take responsbility, won't you, Sahashi Minato?
R-Responsibility?! Responsibility meaning...
Now and forever...?
That's something that we say as Sekirei, you idiot!
What's the matter, Miya-tan?
Seems like things will get interesting.
It's true that I told you you could marry him!
But to see my husband to k-k-kiss someone else before my eyes...!
A Sekirei is an interesting being.
Their feelings and soul are reflected just like that.
Their anger, their hate, their joy...
...and their feelings of love.
As their feelings become stronger, their influence becomes even more apparent.
I felt it just now.
It's no fun at all!
Normal training only improves their level of ability,
but they have also increased their level of growth.
It's there inside my chest!
It's no fun at all!
I look forward to what the outcome is.
What?
Yamata's Orochi!
It's always been there.
That black monster... has always been there!
That black bear that's in Musubi's body!
Bear fist!
Impossible... I'm sorry, Master...
No! Snakes! I hate snakes!
Dammit!
Don't screw with me!
Come on! Why are you stuck there, Kagizaki?!
This is such a shame.
No. 06 is already winged.
They even took care of Katsuragi.
If Higa-sama is here, I could use my prayer on her!
Yes, I understand.
Oriha, that was Higa-sama. A retreat order!
You're quite strong, Nee-san.
You really are.
Although I heard that the ones that come before No. 05 aren't average.
It's because of my experience... in many ways, right?
Even so, I also can't afford to lose.
That's nice. What a serious look.
It's the look of someone in love.
No. 10, a retreat order!
It pisses me off, but we're leaving!
Your life is saved, Nee-san.
That's my line.
See you.
Is it over already?
I was wondering what kind of people would gather here.
Well, let's go back, my lovely girls.
Hold right there! What a coward you are to run away!
I'm sorry, I let mine get away too.
Dammit! I am definitely killing her the next time I see her!
Where's Musubi-chan?
When a Sekirei can function no more,
it's good manners to stay by her side until the MBI arrives for retrieval.
All right, let's go home, Minato-san.
Kagari-san...
Let's go home... to Izumo House.
To tell the truth... my mind was still at a loss.
But... my heart was calm.
Now and forever.
It's finally over!
Rather than over, it's just beginning.
Because Homura's been winged, all of the Sekirei are now winged.
This is the true beginning...
...of the bloodbath... that is this battle in the capital...
Next Episode
Matsu-san, what kind of story will be told next week?
I am going to have a lot more lines!
Well, anyways, I won't stop talking.
There will be a huge Matsu Parade!
Next episode is the story of "Matsu Not Stopping to Talk".
W-Wouldn't that title be a bit...
Feather #7, A Story Far Away.
