You wait roughly an hour before Akitsu is finally led back to your waiting area, having sipped on tea and made a few emails or calls on your phone while you did so. Work is going well and your direct subordinates are competent enough they only send you things you actually need to deal with.

“Sir.” You look up as one of the tailors assigned to Akitsu comes out first.

“Yes?”

“We’re finished with the measuring and first outfit if you’d like to come see.”

“Of course.” Even if you aren’t all that terribly interested in women’s fashion, you still need to check for politeness sake since you’re buying. Akitsu is probably a bit nervous too and it’ll do you good to make sure she’s ok.

You’re led back into an elaborate fitting room, much like the ones you’ve been in before. The darkwood interior is shiny and clean, with the only things out of place being a few items of clothing. Of course you barely notice any of this and instead are focused on Akitsu.

Gone is the ill fitting top and bottom. Instead Akitsu stands before you looking like a high class secretary. If said secretary also moonlighted as a model in her spare time. A perfectly fitted blouse and skirt combo along with matching shoes and a suit jacket top now adorn Akitsu. It looks like they even took some time to help her get her hair slightly more in shape.

Akitsu herself is nervous looking, red in the face though she looks up at you as you enter.

“Is it up to your standards sir?” Asks the tailor.

1. Yes, it’s appropriate.

2. You’ve done very well, Akitsu looks perfect.

3. Let out a low whistle.

You noticed how the perfect sounded off too, huh? Maybe change it so that it's another type of compliment? I thought about suggesting that but figured Guide would get the point across and wouldn't cause any trouble simply because we chose to use that word instead of a different one

You take in the vision in front of you again and smile to Akitsu, giving the tailor a nod a second later.

“You’ve done very well.” The tailor puts on a polite smile and nods her head in return.

“Thank you sir.”

You look back to Akitsu and find her still waiting on you for some reason.

“You look very nice Akitsu.” You don’t want to overwhelm her with flattery but she does look very good in those clothes.

You see her face flush some more but instead of looking down meekly she instead raises herself a little bit, showing off just how form fitting that new outfit is even while it moves with her. A small smile appears on her face. She’s nearly preening.

“If you’d like sir we can let you go with this and send the rest to the usual address?” The tailor is still by your side and you look to her.

“I think that would work out well for all.” You nod to her and she does the same.

“Very well sir, I hope you enjoyed your visit.”

“It was very productive.”

Akitsu has stepped off the platform in the meantime and is now standing next to you once again. You catch her looking at you out of the corner of your eye and when she sees you looking back at her she smile again.

You’re both politely led out of the store the same way you came in, having seen nobody else aside from the employees.

You’re let out onto the street, now looking like a man and his secretary or perhaps two business people coming from lunch no that the submissive bend in Akitsu’s shoulders has dropped away.

Now you’ve got Akitsu properly dressed for the day and more clothes coming later. Toiletries are mostly ok and you may need to ask about those at MBI if there’s anything special you need. Akitsu wait’s by your side.

1. Go out for lunch, it’s a little early but you’ll both be well fed and you can either drop Akitsu off or head to work afterwards.

2. Go back to your place. You can cook lunch there and Akitsu will be easy to drop off.

3. Head to work. You may need to keep Akitsu calm for a bit but you won’t keep her there. Lunch will be in a few hours.

4. Other?

Looking at the time and knowing that while you’re not extraordinarily busy your bosses would certainly appreciate you being close at hand and doing some of the more mundane and ordinary things that fill your schedule, you decide that you should probably skip a long lunch and head in with something a bit more portable. The only thing that you have to deal with aside from that is Akistu. Looking her over once more you certainly could bring her with you to work, as long as she would be ok with the MBI tower.

“Akitsu, I need to head back to work now.” You turn and look at the woman.

“Ah...” She responds, looking down a little bit.

“I can take you back to my place if you’d like but I’d have to leave you there. The other option is you can come with me to MBI tower.”

Akitsu stiffens at that, though her eyes move back up to yours.

“...I don’t want to go back to the labs.” The quiet strength with which she says the words is remarkable, as is the lack of hesitation.

“I wasn’t planning on it but I’ll make sure you don’t have to go.” You reassure her and she nods.

“I will go with you.” Akitsu straightens and you nod.

“Alright, lets go grab some lunches and we’ll head to MBI.”

Akitsu follows you back to your car and you begin your journey to MBI once more, stopping briefly to grab a couple lunches from one of the conbini’s that you enjoy. Akitsu gets a little bit stiffer as you pull up to MBI tower but she follows you in without complaint.

You get few looks as you move through MBI, Akitsu following you without comment and her hair covering the tattoo on her forehead making you look like you both fit in. You get an elevator to yourselves thanks to executive privilege and you hit the button for…

1. Your office, you should probably clear out any extra emails and do some paperwork.

2. Go report directly to Mr. Oshida now that you’re back.

3. Go see if the Director has anything for you.

You press the button for your office, even if you may want to go someplace else. Movies and stories involving people in your line of work are filled with near constant daring do, plotting and high speed chases between hero and villain all ending up in a climax where the case is solved and the girl swoons. Unfortunately real life isn’t much like that. Most of your days are spent up in your office, doing paperwork of some kind or another.

Akitsu is quiet as you rise in the elevator, having not been out of the labs before she clearly doesn’t know how high your office compared to them. Your office is just in the rarified heights of MBI’s executive offices, more so your bosses can get to you without unduly inconveniencing themselves than any need of your own. You find it to be somewhat tedious to get there since it’s even higher up than the labs.

Thankfully MBI tower is a very modern building and the elevator ride doesn’t last all that long. When the door opens up to a plushly carpeted floors with artwork and plants along the walls, Akitsu visibly relaxes. You lead your way to your office, Akitsu looking around as you do so. Your office is relatively plain, a few pictures of places you visited on legitimate business trips and one or two pictures of friends in appropriate situations. You don’t actually have a permanent secretary, as most of the people who are competent enough to get clearances for the things you do at your level are competent enough you usually feel good promoting them after a year or so.

You point to the slightly smaller desk that sits in front of and off to the side of yours.

“You can sit there Akitsu. The computer should work if you want to try looking around on it.”

Akitsu nods, heading to the indicated chair.

You head to your own chair, custom fitted for comfort and support and plop down in it. Booting up your PC, you get to work with your emails and assorted paperwork which is mostly electronic thankfully. Between that and your lunch, time quickly passes. You look up a few times to see Akitsu poking at the PC in front of her. Something must be keeping her occupied.

>>2709687
Just as you’re deciding to stop for a quick break, the door to your office bursts open suddenly and in sweeps the Director. You blink suddenly and move to stand, only to be waved down by the overly energetic man in the pure white suit.

“Hatsu, it’s good to see you again!” The director turns and looks at Akitsu. “It appears that you’ve been taking very good care of Akitsu-chan. Is that...” He leans forward and then grins. “Wow! You really went all out for her Hatsu. You must really care for her.”

You blink, trying to keep up with the rapid fire speech of the man who created MBI from the ground up. Akitsu blushes, the snow woman pinking nicely at the directors words.

“Uh… yes Director. Is there something I can do for you?”

“Oh, no! I was just coming in to check on Akitsu chan. You are doing well aren’t you Akitsu?”

“Yes Director. Hatsu-sama is...” Akitsu pauses for several second. “Hatsu-sama is being very good to me.”

“Good, good!” The Director smiles even wider before turning back to you.

“Now, Hatsu, since you’re doing so well for me is there anything I can do for you?”

1. No sir, everything is going well. Thank you for the offer though.

2. Ask the Director for….? (Limited write in.)

Thinking on the directors offer you simply can’t find anything reasonable to ask of him. You’re paid very well, your department is well funded and while you do know the Director you don’t know him well enough you’d feel comfortable asking for something personal. Instead you turn the question around.

“Is there anything you want from the Director Akitsu?” You honestly weren’t thinking much of the question but Akitsu’s eyes suddenly light up and she blushes, glancing between you and Minaka like she’s looking for something.

“Oh, Akitsu-chan, you know you can ask me for anything!” Minaka is exuberant as always, though this time he seems genuinely interested in what Akitsu might want.

Akitsu flushes more and then her face starts to clear somewhat.

“I… I want Hatsu to be my Ashikabi.” Akitsu’s voice is a mix of pleading and hopeful, a hope that hangs seemingly entirely on you as her piercing blue-gray eyes meet your own.

Minaka’s face brightens even more than it already is, his smile widening as he turns to you.

“Well Akitsu, I can’t make him become your Ashikabi but I certainly approve of it! It’s all up to Hatsu but if he says yes I’ll make sure it’s recorded immediately!”

Now both of them are looking at you. The director is simply intensely interested in your response. Akitsu’s eyes are almost pleading, yet you know she’d simply settle down if you said no.

1. Accept responsibility as Akitsu’s Ashikabi.

2. You don’t think that’s for you. She’s nice but you’re not ready to be a husband.

3. Uhm… can you get some time?

>>2709815
>1. Accept responsibility as Akitsu’s Ashikabi.

>>2709815

>>2709831
Right?

>>2709815
>3. Uhm… can you get some time?

I want Hatsu to take this seriously and get to know Akitsu more before committing. But that's just me. I personally like Akitsu though. So I won't be upset if 1 won.

>>2709815
>4. Isn't that a big deal? I just did the right thing. Are you sure you really want me as your Ashikabi?

Accept if she says yes tho. I share my fellow reader's sentiments on trying to take things serious. Totally fine with 1 tho

>>2709815

This seems to be a major decision. Can we still do our job if we do this?

So, looks like general acceptance if somewhat to be expected hesitation.

Also congratulations, you spent approximately 1000% more time with Akitsu before being asked to be an Ashikabi than the MC did in the main story.

>>2709890
That's sad

>>2709902
Sekirei's actually fairly tragic most of the time, if you think about it past the premise

>>2709902
To be perfectly fair to the MC.

1. Normally Sekirei's just "find" their Ashikabi's genetically or some shit that's never fully explained.

2. He didn't really have a whole lot of say in the matter given he starts as a standard spineless wimp and his Sekirei kisses him.

>>2709908

Even if you didn’t know anything at all about what the hell an Ashikabi is, the simple intensity of Akitsu’s eyes on yours would tell you this is very important. Since what you do know about Ashikabi’s is best described as a cross between a husband, mate and a genetically bonded partner, this is not some little whim of Akitsu’s, not that she’s had too many things you would’ve called “whims” in the short day you’ve known her more closely than simply being in the labs. If it had been a human asking something like this you could’ve easily said no or slow down. Now…

“Are you sure Akitsu? I haven’t done anything all that special. All I did was the right thing, what anyone should have done. I know how big a deal an Ashikabi is for Sekirei.”

You’d swear Akitsu was about to break down and cry but instead her voice is as steady as you’ve ever heard it, even if there is wetness at the corners of her eyes.

“I am sure Hatsu-sama. You are kind and you are warm to me. You have cared for me, fed me and clothed me.” She looks down at her clothes. “You have done so much more than what anyone else has done for me. If...” She swallows something back, something bitter that almost immediately is washed away by the rest of her feelings. “If I could react properly I am sure you would be my Ashikabi.” She pauses and swallows, two trails of liquid running down her face. “Please… please become my Ashikabi Hatsu-sama.”

She’s certainly thought this through. There’s no denying that she’s very clearly emotionally invested as well. You know enough about her to know she can’t be properly… “winged” was the term they’re using now. Yet she clearly wants this to be the real thing. The least you can do is match her feelings.

>>2710005
“Ok Akitsu.” At this point you can’t deny her feelings. “I will be your Ashikabi.”

“Thank you Hatsu-sama. Thank you.” The desperation in her eyes flees and all you can see is hope… and what you’re pretty sure is love. Love is one of the few things in life you don’t have a ton of experience with.

“That’s wonderful Akitsu!” Minaka finally breaks in, his eyes wide and his patented brilliant smile on his face. “I’m sure Hatsu will keep taking good care of you! I’ll go get the paperwork started, you two make sure to complete the ceremony properly!” The Director strolls out of your office in bright spirits.

Complete the ceremony… oh. Normally a Sekirei meets there Ashikabi and then… “exchange of genetic material between mucousal contact occurs.” Which is a scientific way of saying they kiss properly on the lips.

Akitsu is still looking at you, her eyes locked to you in some joyous happiness. Since she can’t actually be winged you don’t need to kiss her, there will be no activation of powers. Yet… you said you’d be her Ashikabi. Not a pretender.

1. Kiss Akitsu, it’ll clearly mean a lot to her even if it is ceremonial.

2. You already took a big step right here, you can slow down a bit and kiss her later.

3. You said you’d be her Ashikabi. You didn’t say anything else about intimacy.

>>2710006
>1. Kiss Akitsu, it’ll clearly mean a lot to her even if it is ceremonial.

From what I'm reading, this comes after the ceremony?

>>2710029
Nah I think the kiss is the ceremony

>>2710029
It is the ceremony.

So, gonna call it here since Hatsu clearly doesn't half ass anything.

>>2710029
the kiss is the ceremony. normally it permanently binds Sekirei and Ashikabi, but Akitsu got a little fucked up when the scientist happened to her. If we're lucky there's a way to help her with the issue sometime down the road

You know, having a damaged core is really bad for Akitsu, but there's at least one upside
She gets to actually fall in love instead of having it all happen with a kiss

>>2710067
I'm a Karasuba fan, But honestly I'd say I'd be fine if we went monogamous.

>>2710067
That is a positive at least
>>2710073
You're not the only one, I think the majority of voters might actually go for monogamy.

>>2710082
If we do, I'll be irrationally proud
I'm still not expecting it, but I'm definitely willing to try for a monogamy end

>>2710084
It would be something at least. If it happens naturally, then I'm down with it. It would be really cool to actually play out the plan with only a single Sekirei and Akitsu is a good girl.

>>2710121
My only concern is that apparently some of the other girls are condemned to horrible fates.

>>2710125
we can help that without winging them

>>2710125
Foist them on Minato

Or help them find decent Ashikabi's

You aren’t sure if you can claim you love Akitsu yet, this is all happening very suddenly and it’s a somewhat nebulous concept to you. You do know you care for her quite a bit, even after just one day with her. You don’t quit, you don’t half ass anything else in life so you aren’t going to start now.

“Akitsu.” You stand and step from behind your desk.

“Yes Hatsu-sama.” Her tone if anything, is even more submissive than before, though clearly happy.

“Stand up Akitsu.” If you’re going to do this you’re going to do this the best way you know how.

Akitsu stands as you approach, her height making it a much more even match than with most women you’ve been with. Her face is warm as you approach and her eyes hold a mix you can’t truly even decipher at the moment.

So you don’t even bother, you simply lean in towards her, your hand coming up to the back of her head. Akitsu melts against you. There is no hesitation in her body, no holding back. The curves you’ve done your best to ignore or at least not take advantage of over the past day press willingly against you and her lips are hot and wet as you kiss her.

You aren’t really sure how long the kiss lasts, you aren’t paying attention to the time, merely the woman in your arms. As you break the kiss, Akitsu’s mouth falls from yours, though you’re rather sure she’d have kept hers to you until you both passed out.

“There, now we’re properly Ashikabi and Sekirei.”
“Yes Ashikabi-sama.” Akitsu’s definitely in love now, her voice certainly sounds like it.

You smile at her.

“You can just call me Hatsu Akitsu.”

“Yes… Hatsu.” Akitsu smiles more than just that tiny quirk and leans her head against your shoulder. Your hand follows and you hold her close. It feels… right.

>>2710121
It could, but it'll be one hell of an uphill battle.

>>2710130
Alright, calling it for tonight. I feel this is a good place to stop.

twas excellent as always Guide. Thanks for running!

>>2710142
It's day two of many and you aren't even halfway through. Akitsu's certainly happy but you're not locked out of anyone either.

>>2710143
Glad you enjoyed.

>>2710152
Thanks! You as well.

>>2710170
Benitsubasa is quite possibly the easiest Sekirei to tease.

>>2710170
I like 6, she already has a suit. Matches our aesthetic

>>2710179
Thanks for running dude.

>>2710180
God I can't remember who that is. Is that the one who Minato obtains last? I swore she...he...whatever wore a suit

She is currently he but that can be worked on.

>>2710185
Thanks for reading.

Yes, that's Homura.

>>2710199
Yep that's who I was thinking of.

>Hatsu wins the Sekirei game
>can't make the wish because he isn't an Ashikabi
>shrugs, goes home, watches more nature videos with Akitsu

>>2710236
Game? Wish? I feel like there's some info we weren't provided.

>>2709792
>and will remember this
Like, will actually remember this, or the bullshit Telltale post-Walking Dead "will remember this" where it's obviously a lie?

>>2710129
Why did you say the same thing twice, anon?
>>2710130
So, we're going to hunt down and execute that scientist, right?
As well as anyone else who tries to hurt Akitsu's smile?

>>2710239
It's pretty simple on the face of it. The Sekirei Plan(tm) is basically a giant survival game between the Sekirei and their Ashikabi, with the city acting as the battlefield. The winner gets a wish.

>>2710314
I think you need to reread past threads. That scientist got turned into chunky salsa mate.

Damn
Akitsu literally never smiles in canon. Not even once

>>2710792
We will be best husband.

>>2710320
>Here have this waifu
>Now kill or be killed
That's... really shitty.

Cute Murdercrow shall be winged. This I swear

>>2710977
Nah

>>2710977
Karasuba is for John Galt

>>2710977
This version? Hell no.

>>2710977
Fuck those guys, I'm in

>>2710977
Nope

>>2710977
I mean dude she's kinda crazy. I like the pink haired chick and the fire chick. but we haven't met them.

When we met karasuba she put a sword to our throat.

>>2711022
Beni is kinda fun, though doesn’t she have a strong reaction to that other guy already?

>>2711029
I have no idea, I've never read the manga/watched the show.

I just know someone posted her, she was a cute, so I googled her.

>>2711031
Fair enough.

Personally, I’d like to perhaps look for Sekirei outside the main ones, since they already get enough time in the manga/show.

>>2711022
I always find that what happened to Homura(fire guy) was kind of horrifying.

>>2711063
As far as I understand it, he became a waifu. Which isn't horrible at all.

>>2711068
>was a male, genitals and all
>body started reacting to minato
>body was forcibly converted to female

From what I can tell he was originally straight too. So yes, horrifying.

>>2711075

>>2711075
Wound up somewhere in the middle IIRC, I think he had a talk with Minato about it

>>2711152
Ok, still find it unsettling though. There weren't many male sekirei though, I think. There were perhaps 3?

>>2710977
Three years I have waited for this moment.

>>2711156
It wasn’t a lot, that is for sure. You would think they would have had a more balanced ratio on the ship, but nope. Though I guess what with the genetics that can forcibly change a sekirei’s gender to match their supposed mate, maybe it was never an issue of the original sekirei culture.

>>2711156
There are 4 named male sekirei. Mutsu(005), Homura(006), Amebane(013), and Shiina(107).
But we only see a little over half of all sekirei throughout the series, so there could be more in the 50 or so sekirei that spent the whole story off screen.

>>2711205
Homura is a chicks name tho.

>>2711443
Actually, it's a unisex name most commonly given to boys.

Look it up. Google is your friend.

>>2711473
I did. Everything I can see either is attached to anime chicks, a surname, or says it's a chicks name.

>>2711477
Really? First thing that pops up for me says unisex, predominately male, also used as a surname. Everything following either supports that or talks about specific characters.
Mostly Madoka's Homura, who's so ludicrously popular she seems to be skewing results. Every suggested question I get from searching is related back to that one character.
Is that show any good, BTW? Never seen it.

The show is good. If you don't mind it being ungodly dark and depressing.

>>2711516
Dark can be fun. Depressing less so. Think I'll pass.
That top one showed up for me too. It says something like 'Homura is rarely given to girls' towards the bottom of the page.

>>2711152
I think he still has a dick, but also modest breasts.

Think Kainé but a whooooole lot more chill.

So, since it's actually going to be a thing soonish, do we want to participate in the game as players, or be an MBI enforcer

or start an external faction of Sekirei and Ashikabi that separate from that and attract the attention of outside forces?

From what I remember he had both for a bit before finally losing it and going full waifu.

>>2712080
Man that is rough...

>>2712080
Nah, he still has both. He freaked out, told Minato, and Minato told him that he loved him no matter what, so he never went full waifu

>>2712069
what are her powers?

Karasuba? She swords with the best of them. Only Miya and her rival Yume have defeated her to my knowledge.

she's Kenpachi from Bleach, but even more blood-hungry

>>2712362
She swords good. That's a power, apparently.

she always seems so sad. why for?

>>2712396
She's not killing someone at the moment.

>>2712396

>>2712529
Karasuba will never love a person, only murder

>>2712529
What? We're with Akitsu. She's not crazy.

I think there's a miscommunication here. Karasuba is the crazy one.

>>2712535
My bad. I made a mistake. What's the deal with our lady friend

>>2712540
Got winged prematurely cause someone messed up her core. She's still strong but nerfed compared to her potential. Also broken bird due to it.

>>2712548
Aww. There's no way to help her with that?

>>2712553
She fled the labs and never ever went back in the series. Maybe.

>>2712553
In canon, she eventually grew enough of a spine to overcome her depression and let her Ashikabi wing her. But that also would have killed her if the deus ex machina at the end hadn't brought most of the dead Sekirei back to life

to find a better solution, we'd have to get her to the labs, and she's against that on account of almost getting raped by one of the scientists

>>2712567
Could that be what damaged her core? Or did that happen already?

>>2712585
that's the guy she murdered
it's been a little while since I read through but I'm pretty sure when he tried to rape her she basically winged herself (which gave her the mark on her forehead), killed him, and ran away

>>2712591
Well i hope we can help her. I am a sucker for characters like her

>>2712396
Her favourite rival wasn't around to slake her murder boner.

Anyone here ever read In Flight?

>>2712648
Yes, and that fic can fuck right off.

>>2712645
Yume's death didn't make her more murderous. It made her nihilistic and willing to get winged by Natsuo, so they could burn the world together.

>>2712653
It had its problem but overall was a pretty solid experience. Up until the last 1/3 and ending, characters were on point.

>>2712673
>its problems
You mean like mediocre prose, painfully bad plotting that mostly consists of slavishly going through the stations of canon, an incredibly poor understanding of the Fate half of the crossover, and an arrogant author who refuses to take criticism no matter how politely worded and whose fans create a hugbox to further shield him from it?
Gabriel Blessing is an overly lauded hack.
Fuck him.

>>2712822
Things fell apart around the ending but before that, the slice of life and characters were generally on point and interesting to read. Girls were fun, it what seemed to be boring day-to-day managed to be compelling and the birds got nice enough focus. The problems were injecting far too much Nasuism and all these fucking expositions taking 1/2 a chapter alongside waving off the importance of the Sekirei setting.

It's not that bad. The beginning and the middle stages are much, much better than the end.

>>2712861
Except he constantly, and endlessly, fucks up those Nasuisms.
The man is incapable of writing Shirou without turning him into a bad self-insert power fantasy.
It was even WORSE in Hill of Swords, where he had to bullshit up a mental gymnastics explanation for how the fuck his bullshit lead was supposed to be Shirou in spite of basically acting nothing like him, but it's still present in In Flight.

>>2712875
Yep, I fully agree with you on that. I really, really liked the birds and how he handled them but everything doing with the Nasuverse became irritating despite the fact that it brought great tension. He fucked up on this point, but there's still some genuinely good stuff in the story.

The girls, who unfortunately became less important as time went on.

Hol up...I just have an ephipany!

Why the fuck are there no Sekrei Gacha game? They could make millions!

>>2713153
Mostly because it's no longer relevant. The manga finished publishing in 2015, and nothing else has come out from that direction afaik.
It could work and turn out a profit but they would have to pull a Grand Order and change the setting around a bit. Seeing as it's not as popular as Fate they likely just don't want to put the effort.

>>2713197
Wait the manga finished in 2015? Huh, I thought it finished much earlier than that.

>>2713197
>Mostly because it's no longer relevant. The manga finished publishing in 2015, and nothing else has come out from that direction afaik.
There's a spinoff/sequel-ish manga now called 100 Days Without a Girlfriend or some shit iirc. Dunno how regularly it updates though, or even if it's going to run for too long.

>>2713314
Huh, what's the synopsis of it?

>>2713316
Slice of life shenanigans with Minato and the girls while they wait for Musubi/try to get her back

>>2713341
Ah, that seems like a logical conclusion after everything

>>2713314
Wasn't aware, thanks for the info

Hey Guide, two kinda weird questions
Did we know Miya's husband at all?And was Karasuba still involved in his death?

>>2714734
You did not, that was the researcher route you didn't choose. Unless stated otherwise, Canon is in effect.

>>2714774
Well, murdercrow's gonna murder I guess
How're you doing today, boss?

>>2714811
Doing ok. At a party at so probably not going to run soon.

>>2714827
Nah, just start there. Get everyone there ready to protect Akitsu's smile too

>>2714882
Boy, imagine everyone crowding around Guide's phone as they eagerly await what happens next.

>>2714982
Imagine Guide's buddies meekly asking if their favorite characters are going to be ok

>>2715265
Kek, that'd be perfect.

>>2715265
>asking if their favorite characters are going to be ok
Well, since we're with Akitsu, they should be.
If we'd gone Murdercrow route? They'd ALL have been in line for the massacre.

>>2715359
well, a lot of characters DO refer to Akitsu as a trashed or rejected Sekirei, which Hatsu'll probably take issue to

>>2714982
Oh man, and we live in the East too. That means we have to deal with Higa, the biggest douchebag

>>2715414
I was sort've wondering when somebody would bring that particular bit up. Even if it was by random choice it did happen.

Anyway, I'm going to try and post a few times tonight. Please wait warmly.

>>2715372
True, but people can SURVIVE the ass-whooping they'll get for doing that in front of us just fine. And if they're smart, they'll only get it once.

>>2715438
Yeah. East is probably the roughest place to start.

>>2715464
Well, all we need is a vast array of high caliber automatic weapons.

>>2715503
I think you’re highly overestimating our skills or underestimating sekirei capabilities. Perhaps both.

As much as you wanted to spend a bit more time with Akitsu, you were still at work. She seemed much happier and didn’t mind when you pulled away. The mere fact that you accepted her, as fully as you could, seemed to be all that was needed to make her content. You went back to work with a warm if slightly funny feeling in your stomach. You’re not sure if it’s nerves, affection or something else completely but you categorize it, ponder it for a bit and then ignore it while you work. Things like that are best digested fully at your leisure and not on company time.

Instead you double down on your work, especially since the Director himself came to visit you. You manage another few hours of work before your phone rings. Surprisingly, Akitsu picks it up before you do, as the secretary’s phone was still set to work after your last one left.

“Hatsu Toyoaki’s office.” You wonder where she learned proper phone procedure. “Hold.”

“Who is it Akitsu?”

1. Dr. Takami.

2. Number 8.

3. Mr. Oshida.

not lethally
wing 'em and have a gun pointed at them, and their Sekirei will surrender

>>2715676
Actually I'm not sure what the manga or anime said about ashikabi dealing with other ashikabi.
Is it against the rules? I know sekirei can't kill ashikabi. Moreover, just how much has MBI taken over the city.
Are they the new law in the city or can ashikabi still be arrested by regular cops. Can you answer any of these questions, Guide?

>>2715676
I mean, if they try something, I'm just sayin' it's wise to have a weapon or two at the ready

>>2715715
In self defense sure, I have no worries there. That’s just us protecting ourselves at that point.

>>2715704
The resident über-Nihilist mentions it in one scene of the manga. If you kill an Ashikabi, their Sekirei will also be terminated.

Natsuo (the Nihilist) even questions why Minato doesn't try anything since they're right next to each other and neither are armed. Minato, being the idealist he is, refuses any action and I'm pretty sure doesn't get any chance to after they're forced to separate.

>>2715704
So, Sekirei don't really die unless their core gets shattered, if that's kntact they recover in time or with a lot of help
But if an Ashikabi dies, it triggers a chain reaction that kills every Sekirei bonded to them

>>2715704
Nothing was said one way or the other and it's somewhat implied Higa blackmailed a few people or threatened them.

You could probably get away with quite a bit given your position, though you might be called to answer at work.

>>2715737
Higa also kidnapped the MC's sister and tried to force her into marriage, so you can do pretty much whatever

>>2715740
Higa was also fuckin' rich with the accompanying entitled attitude.

Mikogami was the same way but grew up as the game went on.

>>2715746
Mikogami was never really a douche though, he just played Sekirei like it was Pokemon with waifus. But he definitely cared about everyone in his harem, compared to Higa who used his Sekirei more like disposable tools than people he's supposed to be bonded to forever

“Yume wishes to speak with you.” Akitsu looks at you, her eyes somewhat unreadable.

“I’ll take her.” You pause, then smile at her. “Thank you for taking my calls.”

Akitsu’s cheeks turn slightly red. “You’re welcome.” She picks up the handset and speaks to Yume. “Transferring.”

You wait until your phone rings and then you pick it up.

“Hatsu Toyoaki speaking.” You keep your voice level,

“Hatsu!” Yume’s voice comes over the line, clearly excited. “Is it true? Did you wing her?”

“I didn’t wing her no.” You keep your voice down, though it’s clear Akitsu can hear you. “I am her Ashikabi. Fully and truly.” That makes Akitsu relax and you can hear breathing on Yume’s side of the line.

“That’s great!” Yume doesn’t seem to care that you didn’t actually wing Akitsu, simply happy you took responsibility. “Did you ask Minaka to take care of her after she ran away?”

“Actually she asked for me to be her Ashikabi. I accepted.”

“Did you kiss her?”

You pause on that one, wondering if you should answer. In the end you decide it won’t hurt, especially since Yume seems to know everything shortly after it happens anyway.

“Yes. She seemed happy about it.”

Yume nearly squeals on the other side of the line, though you’re pretty sure she did and simply pulled the phone away on her side.

“That’s amazing! You just keep saving us Sekirei Hatsu.”

“The first two were just the job Yume.”

“You always say that but you still care. Doing what you did for Akitsu proves it.”

“Perhaps.” Yume has always treated you like a savior, even though at first you didn’t know what you were defending.

“Anyway, since you’re Akitsu’s Ashikabi I want to come visit, if that’s ok with you.”

Yume’s visited you on a few occasions over the years, mostly to talk or due to your work. She used to be on the Disciplinary squad back in the day, though she’s recently quit and focused more on the upcoming Sekirei plan and making sure her brothers and sisters get winged properly.

1. Sure. I suppose you could come visit now, we’re in my office.

2. You could come visit my apartment later. Akitsu and I are working at the moment.

We are, but why would choosing 2 be detrimental to the monogamy route?

>>2715770
I don't think it'll trigger anything, man
IIRC, Yume never really wanted to find love herself, just wanted to make sure all the other Sekirei were free and happy and in love. Something about being an agent of destiny

>>2715756

>>2715770
I just wanted to take our current work seriously...

>>2715784
Yume also committed suicide by sacrifice because she couldn't have an Ashikabi. So there wasn't a whole lot of hope there.

Anyway, looks like inviting her over to your place later.

Writing.

You know what this will actually set off?
Yume's just going to show up in our house randomly with alcohol, and has probably already decided she will be the vodka aunt to our children so Kazehana can't call it

>>2715698
If we wing the Ashikabi, do we get their Sekirei as well, or do they still serve their Ashikabi who serves us?

Also, it's said in thread that Akitsu winged herself and that's bad? What *exactly* does winging do?

>>2715826
I meant wing 'em with a gun, whoops. Should have pointed out the pun

Winging a Sekirei basically marks an Ashikabi and Sekirei as soulmates. It also lets Ashikabi power up Sekirei by kissing them.
By winging herself, Akitsu prevented herself from being bonded to the guy who tried to rape her, but also cut herself off from being winged by anyone else she's 'supposed to' be with. In the other Sekireis' eyes, and her own because she's got a pretty bad inferiority complex, she's broken and can't find love

>>2715836
Holy shit, that's sad
It's been really long sing a saw anything related to Sekirei

>>2715826
>>2715842

I'm pretty sure that Ashikabi cannot wing other Ashikabi. It's like a Pokemon trainer trying to catch another trainer in their pokeball.

What winging does is essentially bond a Sekirei to their respective Ashikabi like a marraige vow and allows the Sekirei to use their ultimate attack, or Norito. The deeper the bond between Ashikabi and Sekirei, the stronger the Norito.

Akitsu didn't wing herself, it's possible for unwinged Sekirei to use their powers, it's just she was experimented on so much to the point where she either cannot be winged or if she does it'll overload and kill her.

That's exactly what happens in the manga, too. Mikogami managed to wing her and allow her to use her Norito, but as a result she basically terminated herself. She doesn't show up in the epilogue, either.

>>2715842
