Sahashi Minato-kun, I presume?
Y-Yes.
That's to be expected from you. I didn't think you would use that kind of attack.
Attack... then you are the East's...!
Pleasure to meet you. I am Higa Izumi.
Nice to finally meet you.
And this...?
This is what you guys have been looking for.
Then... this has Chiho-san's treatment data in it!
Feather #11 Festival's Preparations
Why did you make Uzume-san...
No. 10 stated that she would do anything to extend her Ashikabi's life, even by a small amount.
All I did was respect her wish.
As for her termination, it was an accident, and was not my intention.
It is regrettable.
You're saying that now?!
It doesn't matter what you think of me... They are victims of the MBI.
What are you talking about?
And... we are too.
Think about it.
One day, suddenly, you were chosen to become an Ashikabi,
pulled towards an unforeseeable future, forced to participate in a deathmatch.
You don't think that was unreasonable?
T-That...
What we cannot forgive is that this game, this "Sekirei Plan"...
...exists because a single man views it as fun and entertaining.
Fun and entertaining...
Indeed. All this for a guy called Minaka Hiroto.
This doesn't just concern you.
The daily lives of many people were destroyed by this enormous power known as the MBI.
That... may be true, but...
Just so's you know,
that Ashikabi's illness cannot be cured using current medical knowledge.
Eh? But...
That data will only extend her life, by preventing her situation from worsening.
How could that be? Then Chiho-san is...
But... if there was more advanced medical technology...
MBI...
If you really want to save that Ashikabi, then there is only one way to do it.
Sahashi Takami
Minato?
Mom, it's me.
What's the matter?
I have something to ask of you.
Something you need?
The cure for an illness?
Yeah... I think the MBI may have something like that.
Indeed, I think it is possible with the MBI's technology.
Then...
But, you know, for a ronin like you who twice failed to rely on your parents...
...what a shame.
Didn't you promise me? If you are a real man, don't come to me, sort this out yourself!
Thanks to that data, we can keep Chiho-tan alive. Which is nice, isn't it?
Yeah. We can't relax just yet, but for now...
We're safe, is that what you're saying?
What's the matter, Minato?
Actually... there's something I want you guys to help me with.
I want to go to the MBI.
What was that?
That...
Hey, Sahashi Minato-kun. How've you been?
Minaka...
I heard about it.
Heard about it?
Seems like you want me to help you guys with a cure for a complicated disease.
I see. Mom told you.
I am known for my generosity. I would like to assist you.
Really?
Seems like the president is a really gentle person!
Ah, no, no...
However!
Only if you can climb to the highest level of the capital tower tomorrow under your own steam.
The highest level? Umm, what?
Well then, I wish you luck!
He contacted us instead...
This is... probably... something really bad.
Seems like a few more of the little birds have torn wings.
Yeah... the number is half what it was.
Seems like you are feeling quite down, Takami-kun.
I didn't make all those adjustments to the Sekirei so that they could do this.
Actually, I've just thought of another interesting thing.
Something that's both interesting and caring.
Caring...
Could you...
Well, this is a nice idea.
I told you not to eavesdrop on others ever again!
MESSSAGE SENT
Oh no!
MESSSAGE SENT
This is a perfect ending for the second phase.
The climax is finally about to begin!
This is Minaka Hiroto.
Ashikabi who still haven't won a match,
your last chance is here.
There will be a group of people attacking the capital tower tomorrow.
Those who successfully prevent their infiltration will have their termination waived.
And those who defeat them will receive an extraordinary reward!
Please participate even if you have already won.
There's gonna be a reward!
There's finally going to be a rare item.
This seems kinda fun.
Just what kind of person would infiltrate the MBI?
Who knows...
He must be some guy filled with too much self confidence.
RECEIVED MAIL
Minaka Hiroto
I am the MBI's president, Minaka Hiroto.
Ashikabi who still haven't won a match, your last chance is here! There will be a group of people attacking the capital tower tomorrow. Those who successfully prevent their infiltration will have their termination waived And those who defeat them will receive an extraordinary reward! Please participate even if you have already won.
Why?
Looking at what happened with Kusano-tan and Kagari-tan back then, we should have expected this.
It's okay! No matter who gets in our way, Musubi will defeat them with her fists!
That's right. My water won't allow anyone to get in my Ashikabi's way.
Kuu and everybody will protect Onii-chan.
Everyone...
You can't look down on intelligence.
Whether they'll win or lose,
nearly every Ashikabi in the capital will head to the MBI.
All I wanted was to tempt the Northern side into attacking the MBI.
But it seems like it's turning into a pretty interesting situation.
We have a guest.
Let him in.
Yeah, I understand what this request is about.
I don't think this is something that you should decide on quickly.
Who cares.
Just as long as there's money.
Smart decision.
Can he really take care of it?
Just in case, we should let one of our Sekirei...
There is no need for such a hassle.
We'll rob them while they're busy...
I am nearly done with the guards' routes and status.
But... this is the MBI's headquarters after all.
If we don't shut down its security system, we won't be able to get to the highest level.
Then... could Matsu-san also be...
Yes... I will enter the tower and control it from within.
I-Is it really that fun?
Seems like everyone is being deployed.
Everybody's in this together!
Is that good, Minato?
All right! It's the night before the fight!
Even though it's right before the fight...
...is it really okay for us to bathe and relax?
It's not just a normal bath.
It's a meeting for Sekirei!
We need to wash ourselves clean before a fight!
Why are you drinking alcohol in the bath?!
This is sacred wine, you know.
Well, rather than keeping ourselves on edge, it's probably better for us to be nice and relaxed, right?
Right?
This is...
...where Uzume-san and I first fought.
That's why I need to cheer up here!
That's the spirit, Musubi!
Seems like it's quite crowded.
Sahashi-san?
No! I don't really intend to peek!
I will prepare a huge meal tomorrow.
If you let that meal go to waste, I'll add the bill to your rent.
Landlady...
Please come back safely.
Got it.
There's no way I wouldn't have a problem with this.
So I encouraged Minato to come here and get it with his own power...
...but that idiot eavesdropped on us and turned it into a huge mess.
I see.
Sorry for giving you all this trouble.
No, it was Sahashi's decision after all.
I... all of us want to fulfill his wish.
That's all that is.
What nice weather for a day out.
Yup.
It's been a long time since I've been outside.
Seeing Uzume-san and the other Sekirei seems to have made me realize:
You don't need a reason.
To think about, and to be thought of.
There's an important bond between the two.
In order to protect that, we do our best, and take action within our limits.
There are also times when we must fight.
That's what everyone... everybody taught me.
All right. Let's go.
How should I put it?
It seems the atmosphere around Sahashi has changed.
Wagtails are birds that tell love.
They pass on love, and are also told about love.
Eventually, an extraordinary power called a "bond" is created.
And then miracles happen.
That's how wagtails found their reason to exist.
Miracles...
It's nothing.
I was just remembering something someone told me once.
Are you all ready, Minato-san?
Isn't it a little too daring to go in bright daylight?
No. Rather, because there are more people during the day, the MBI won't overreact...
We are the MBI.
The entire capital will be placed under lockdown today.
Please refrain from going outdoors without authorization.
We are the MBI...
The president's really gone overboard.
A-Anyway, let's cheer up and do our best!
Yeah, that's right.
Then, we're leaving.
Well then, let us depart!
We're going now, Landlady.
We're leaving, Landlady.
We're leaving!
Landlady, I am departing.
I'll leave the preparations for the banquet to you.
Be careful out there.
Mina-tan will be on standby near the tower, waiting for us to contact him.
Musubi-tan, Tsukiumi-tan, and Kazehana-tan will be guarding Mina-tan.
Mina-tan will go in the front, while we will infiltrate from the back.
Our goal is to take over the MBI's server room.
Are you using just that to disguise yourself?
Kusano-tan, this route goes straight to the MBI, right?
Yup, Takami-chan often takes me here for a walk.
But... then some bad guys came here.
Was that how she turned into the girl in green?
No matter what, thanks to Kusano-tan, it was much easier to plan our strategy.
There!
Seems like it's not guarded.
It's a botany facility, after all.
They don't have enough people to guard every place.
For them to attack here, they really are just too overconfident.
But... it's easier that way.
Seems like they've arrived.
I'll do my best for you, Natsuo!
Yup, then, do your best, everybody.
Just leave it to me! You can just relax, Natsuo!
Doing all that work for a homo.
Shut up, Haihane!
All right... let's get rid of them completely!
Oh? Your Sekirei core is shining this bright.
Yes! I learned the Bear Fist!
Even if Yume is no longer here...
...seems like I can still have some fun.
It's really quiet.
To be deserted at this time of the day.
Stop.
There isn't anything strange.
Yeah, I thought the MBI's army would be here.
But it seems like there are others here.
What are you talking about?
You are the boss character, right?
Oh, there's a lot of them.
Seems like they came after reading the message.
We're completely surrounded!
I see. It's fine as long as we defeat them, right?
That way, we don't have to be separated.
Matsu-san, actually we...
Mina-tan, I'm sorry, but...
M-Matsu-san?
So you guys really did come this way.
Have you been well, Girl in Green?
Discarded Number... it's you, huh?
We meet... again.
All right, in order for us to get the rare item,
I'll have you beaten up!
Go!
Sekirei No. 65, Taki.
Fog?
No!!
Matsu, now's your chance!
Yes!
It's been a long time, 02.
We meet at such a bad time.
The same goes for you, 05.
No... Mutsu-tan!
Mutsu, they're getting away!
Fog... can turn into ice fog.
I've borrowed her powers. How about it?
This is bad.
Matsu-san, what happened?!
Matsu-san! Matsu-san!
Cut off.
Something has probably happened to them too.
We can only go forward with our own power.
Then I shall fight them face-to-face!
You can't, Tsukiumi!
What?
We can't fight these people.
These people don't really want to fight.
But... if they don't fight, they may be separated. That's why they came here.
That's why...
But even if we think that way, they won't just say "Oh, is that so?" and stand aside.
Yo! This is where the fun is at, right?
What is it with you?
We found him first. Don't get in our way!
That's right! Leave!
The game is first come, first serve, isn't it?
All right, let's go, my lovelies.
Yes!
What's wrong with this guy? He's not serious at all.
Is he just an idiot?
Huh? Who just called me an idiot?
It's you, huh?!
It's you, right?
Ashikabi-sama!
You bastards...!
Let me drop y'all dead!
They started fighting.
W-what just happened?
Anyways, let's make use of this.
That's right. Let's get to the MBI.
Y-Yeah.
It opened!
Oh? Closed for today?
There's nobody here.
Musubi, be careful.
Yes.
W-We've been locked up.
Minaka is playing with his toys again...
...but if you play wrong, the toys will hurt you.
Now, everyone.
The festival's preparations are all ready.
Let's enjoy this with all our hearts!
Next Episode
Let's go, Haihane!
We will be punished if we lose again...
Punished?
Punished.
It's the basis of the three bad guys.
Three bad guys? Doesn't that sound too cheap?!
Feather #12 - Tower of Chaotic Playing
Feather #12 Tower of Chaotic Playing
Next time, now and forever, too!
You'll be punished!
Stop saying that!
