Sahashi Minato-kun, I presume?
Um... Yes.
That was quite an impressive attack you pulled off.
Attack...?
Then you're the one from the East?
It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Higa Izumi.
So... we finally meet.
This is...
The thing you're all looking for.
Then... this must be Chiho-san's treatment data...!
Atarashii yakusoku ga kokoro o tsuyoku tsunagu
Our new promise binds our hearts together strongly
Kawaru sekai ni kane ga hibiku yukou!
The bell rings in the changing world, let's go
Owari naki tatakai ga subete o hikisaite mo
Even if the endless fight shreds everything apart,
I will believe in your smile
Kimi no hohoemi tada shinjite
If I can protect your dream,
(ano hi no) Kimi no yume mamoreru nara
I will even embrace pain
(namida mo) Itami sae dakishimeyou
I can't let go of these piling feelings, this oath in my heart
(kizamou) Kasaneau kono omoi mune no chikai yuzurenai
Ah, all the way to the end of the sky,
aa, sora no haruka hate made
Sou kaketeyuku yo na kasoku shiteku jounetsu
yes, my passion accelerates
as if it were rushing through my body
Ah, no matter what kind of fate awaits me,
aa, donna unmei datte
Sou takaku koeteku makenai yuuki kureta kara
yes, I can fly high over it
because you gave me this undefeatable courage
Eleventh Wing:
Preparations for the Festival
Why did you use Uzume-san?
No. 10 volunteered herself in order to extend the lifespan of her Ashikabi.
All I did was respect her decision.
Moreover, the fact that she ceased to function was an accident, and neither was it my intention.
I find it quite regretful as well.
Saying something like this won't...!
I don't particularly care about what you think of me, but those girls are M.B.I.'s victims.
What are you saying?
And so are we, for that matter.
Just think about it.
One day, all of a sudden, becoming this thing called Ashikabi and getting dragged into this life-threatening game...
Don't you find it quite irrational?
W-Well...
What's most unforgivable is the fact this game called The Sekirei Project exists entirely for the fun and entertainment of a single man.
Fun and entertainment...
Yes,
it exists for the enjoyment of Minaka Hiroto.
This isn't only about you, either.
There are many who had their normal lives ruined while getting pushed around by the superpower known as the M.B.I.
That might be true, but...
Let me tell you this, though... That Ashikabi's illness cannot be treated by modern medical practices.
Huh? But...
The card merely contains the data about a treatment to slow down its progress.
That's just...
Then Chiho-san will...!
However, if there were someone to surpass modern medicine...
The M.B.I...
If you truly wish to save that Ashikabi, that is your only option.
Oh, Minato?
Mom, it's me.
What is it?
I have a favour to ask of you.
A favour?
A treatment method for an illness?
Y-Yeah...
I thought you might be able to find one, since you work at the M.B.I.
It is true that perhaps with the M.B.I.'s technology something could be done...
Then...
But what's this?
A rounin still relying on his parents at this day and age...
How pitiful.
You promised me, didn't you?
If you're really a man, don't rely on your mom and figure it out on your own.
Thank goodness that Chiho-tan's life is out of danger due to the data we received.
Yeah...
But it's still too early to relax, though.
For the time being...
A moment's reprieve, huh?
What's wrong, Minato?
Actually,
there's something I'd like you all to help me with.
I'm thinking about going to the M.B.I.
You what?
Th-That's...
Hey, Sahashi Minato-kun! How have you been?
Minaka!
I heard your story.
S-Story?
It would seem you long for my assistance.
I see.
This is Mom's doing.
I'm quite the benevolent person, you see?
And I'd love to help you.
R-Really?
For some reason, the president is being nice.
Oh, please...
That is...!
Only if you can make it to the top floor of the Capital Tower by tomorrow, using your own strength!
The top floor? Um, what does that have to do with this?
Then I pray for your good luck!
To think they'd come to us...
This might be...
a very dangerous situation.
Even more of our little birds have lost their wings by now, correct?
Yeah, about half of them are gone now.
It seems you're not in a very good mood, Takami-kun.
I didn't adjust Sekirei for this purpose in the first place...
Actually, I thought of something interesting again.
Hm?
Something interesting, yet nice as well.
Nice?
You...
Don't tell me...
I sure got some good material here.
I told you not to tap into other people's calls, didn't I?!
Oh, damn!
This will serve as a satisfactory way to end the second act.
It's finally time to near the climax!
This is Minaka Hiroto.
The Ashikabi without a single victory, it's down to your final chance.
A certain individual will try to reach the Capital Tower tomorrow.
All those who successfully manage to prevent him from doing so,
will be exempted from the termination of function, and an amazing prize will await them!
Even already victorious individuals are encouraged to participate.
A prize he says.
A rare item finally appears!
Well, doesn't this look interesting?
Attacking M.B.I. directly like that...
Who in the world could it be?
Who knows?
It must be some arrogant and stuck-up person.
Wh-Why...?
Considering the events with Kusano-tan and Kagari-tan, this is still within predictable measures...
Don't worry! Whatever happens, I'll blow them away with my fists!
Exactly.
My water won't allow anything to get in the way of my Ashikabi.
Kuu and the rest will protect you!
Everyone...
Despite the amount of wins, it seems that pretty much all the Ashikabi will gather around the M.B.I.
Launching a surprise attack against the M.B.I. was probably the North's intention,
but in the end this turned out to be pretty interesting.
A guest is here to see you.
Let him in.
All right, I understand the contents of your request.
Don't you think it's a little easy of a job for someone like you?
That doesn't matter.
As long as you pay up.
That's clear to me.
Do you really think it will work out just by using them?
We should send our Sekirei too, just in case...
There's no reason for us to dirty our hands directly.
I see.
For someone like him, that is.
I've roughly confirmed the route and the main security.
Though, when it comes to the main M.B.I building,
getting to the roof would be basically impossible without disabling the security.
Then...
Are you too...?
Indeed... Since I have to get into the tower and investigate it properly...
Wh-Why do you look so happy?
Everyone's moving out then, huh?
Let's do this together!
Are you all right with that, Minato?
Come on! It's the night before the big day!
This is the night right before the showdown... Should we really be taking a bath like this?
This is not just any bath.
This is the great gathering of Sekirei!
Gotta blow away the stress before a fight, right?
Why are you drinking alcohol in the bath, anyway?
Oh? But this is sacred wine.
Well, rather than madly stressing out, relaxing like this might be just fine.
Just fine!
This... is the place where I fought Uzume-san for the first time.
That's why I'll raise my spirits here!
I'm with you there, Musubi!
I-It's quite lively, isn't it?
Sahashi-san.
No! It's not like I want to go check it out or anything!
I'll have a feast ready for tomorrow.
I'll add it to your rent if it all goes to waste.
Landlady...
Please, be sure to come back.
I understand.
It's not like I don't care about it, either...
That's why I told Minato to try to come here and get it,
but that idiot tapped into my call, and it all turned into this.
I see.
One thing after another... I'm really sorry.
It's okay.
This is something Sahashi decided in the first place.
I...
We want to grant him his wish.
That's all there is to it.
What a great day for an attack.
It sure is.
It's been a long time since I got to go outside.
After seeing Uzume-san and the other Sekirei, I feel that I've finally understood a bit...
Why it's not logical...
What it means to think and to be thought of...
And about the existence of the precious bonds.
To protect these bonds, they always give it their best. There are also times when you have to fight for their sake.
That's what everyone taught me.
All right, let's go!
How should I say it... Sahashi...
The air around him has changed.
Sekirei are birds who teach love.
They teach about love and get taught about it in return,
while giving birth to this amazing power called bonds.
And bringing forth miracles.
That is why Sekirei were born.
Miracles...
Oh, never mind. I just remembered someone mentioning that before.
Are you ready, Minato-san?
Don't you think going in broad daylight is a little too bold?
Not at all. Going during the day - when lots of people are out - should prevent the M.B.I. from making any big moves...
This is the M.B.I.
A Capital-wide decree has been issued for the day.
Please refrain from leaving your homes without permission.
This is the M.B.I.
The president sure knows how to go overboard, doesn't he?
E-Either way, let's grit our teeth and fight our way through!
Y-Yeah, you're right.
Well then, we'll be going.
All right, let's roll out!
We're off, Landlady.
We're off!
Landlady, we're heading out.
I'm counting on you to prepare a big party.
Please, be careful and good luck.
Mina-tan, you'll be on standby near the tower until we contact you.
Musubi-tan, Tsukiumi-tan, and Kazehana-tan will guard Mina-tan.
We'll get you to the front entrance, while we will get in through the back.
We will break into the M.B.I.'s server room.
Is that your idea of disguise...?
Kusano-tan, there's a road which leads to the M.B.I. here, right?
Yeah, I used to take a walk here with Takami-chan a lot.
But...
Then a mean person came and...
That's how she became "The Green Girl," huh?
Well either way, this makes our plan easier.
Over there!
It's pretty defenceless, isn't it?
Well, it's just a facility for the botanical garden, after all.
They can't put up too many guards around here.
Who would have thought they'd try to get in here... They really don't understand their position.
But...
this makes things easier.
It looks like they're here.
I'll do my best for you, Natsu!
All right. Then, good luck everyone.
Leave it to me! You just take it easy!
Trying to win over a gay guy... What wasted effort.
Shut it, Haihane!
All right, I'll beat 'em up good.
Your Sekirei core is shining brighter than ever.
Right! I've learned the Bear Paw technique!
Even though Yume's not here, it looks like she'll be able to entertain me a bit.
It's so quiet.
It sure is strange that there's no one here at this time of day.
Stop.
It doesn't appear any different than usual.
Y-Yeah.
I thought at least the M.B.I.'s military would be here or something...
But, it looks there are some others, though.
What are you talking about?
So you're the boss monster, huh?
Oh, there's so many.
So these are the ones who read the message.
We're already surrounded.
I see. All we have to do is beat these guys, eh?
We won't have to leave each other if we do that, right?
Matsu-san, we're actually-
Mina-tan, I'm very sorry, but...
M-Matsu-san?
So you really did come this way.
How have you been, Green Girl?
So you're here as well, Scrapped Number.
We meet... again.
Well then, time to defeat you guys to acquire the rare item!
Get 'em!
Sekirei No. 65, Taki.
Fog?
No!
Matsu! Now's the time!
Right!
Long time no see, 02.
We meet under difficult circumstances.
I could say the same thing to you, 05.
No, Mutsu-tan!
Mutsu, she'll get away!
Fog with ice powder,
I borrowed a bit of her power.
What do you think?
Dammit!
Matsu-san, what's wrong?
Matsu-san.
Matsu-san!
It got cut off.
Looks like something happened over there, too.
I guess we have to push through ourselves, huh?
Then, I'll take them all on!
You can't, Tsukiumi!
What?
You can't fight them.
None of these people want to fight.
But they have no other choice but to come here in order to avoid being separated...
So...
But you know, even though you say that, they won't let us through just like tha-
Yo, is this where all the fun's going on?
Who are you?
We're the ones who found him.
Don't butt in!
That's right!
A game is all about first come, first serve, isn't it?
Okay then! Let's go, my lovelies!
'Kay!
What's up with this guy? He doesn't seem nervous at all.
Isn't he just some idiot?
What?!
Who's the one who just called me an idiot?!
You?!
Was it you?!
Ashikabi-sama!
You bastards...
I'll beat the shit out of you!
Take that, you little-!
They are all starting to fight each other...
Wh-What's going on...?
Anyway, this is our chance.
Agreed. Let's take this chance to get to the M.B.I.
Yeah...
It opened up!
Huh? Do they have a day off today?
There's nobody here...
Musubi, don't let your guard down.
No shit.
We're locked in.
Minaka thinks he's playing around with his toys,
but if you play with them in the wrong way, the toys can break.
Well, ladies and gentlemen,
the preparation for the festival is complete.
Enjoy it to your heart's content!
Unmei nante ne zenbu ne kimi shidai
All kinds of fate depend on you
Tsuiteku doko made mo onaji kimochi o kakaete
I'll follow you anywhere carrying the same feelings
Mada dare ni mo hakken sareteinai michi no tairiku ni sou
Even roads that haven't been found by anyone follow the mainland
Ichibansaki ni fumidasu you na bouken na no kono koi wa kitto
This love is probably like an adventure we're stepping into before anyone else
Shinjitsu da yo kanjiteru koto subete
Everything that you feel is the truth
Sono koe ga ima yondeiru kara
Since that voice is calling me now
(itsudemo)
Whenever it may be
Mubou da to wakattete mo issho ni tameshitai no
Even if I know it's useless I want to try it out together
Nan ni mo iranai nee kimi ga warau tabi
I don't need anything, hey whenever you laugh
Ikiteru sono imi wa tokiakasarete
the meaning of my life becomes obvious to me
Unmei nante ne zenbu ne kimi shidai
All kinds of fate depend on you
Tsuiteku doko made mo onaji kimochi o
I'll follow you carrying the same
Tsuyoi kimochi o kakaete.
strong feelings
Let's go, Haihane!
If we lose this time... we'll get punished.
Punished?
Punishment is the basis of the three evils.
Three evils? Doesn't that sound lame?!
Twelfth Wing: The Tower of Chaotic Play.
Twelfth Wing:
The Tower of Chaotic Play
Next time will be forever and ever, too.
Punishment time it is...
Stop it already!
