Miya-san leads us up a flight of stairs, and down a corridor. When we did go down the corridor however, I saw Uzume-san… in her panties! And a tight short top on with the No. 10 on it! U-Uzume-san is in her panties, looking at me with a smile! O-Oh no! She's showing me her in her panties! I-I… my nose is bleeding a little!
"Hey lil bro, you got Miya to let you stay here huh."
"Y-Yes!" I replied energetically! Her staying here is very good indeed! I can see Uzume-san frequently! And we can visit Onee-chan together. But then I felt something that's not right. Something that is going to happen. A sense of foreboding. What is this feeling?
Shiver.
Something sent a shiver down my spine. For some reason, Uzume-san is shaking heavily as well. H-Has she noticed something? I looked to Nanami-san who was shivering also! She gripped my shirt and looked really scared. As for Kuno-san… she has fainted! Kuno-san has fainted!
"Uzume..." Miya-san whispered something out darkly. I looked to see… a purple aura! She has a purple aura surrounding her! D-Does she realize that aura is very scary! I am in pure terror right now!
"M… Miya… I'm frightened..."
At least she's honest. But Miya-san wasn't having any of it. She went over to Uzume-san… a demon head appeared! D-Does anyone else see that demon head right now!?
*Thump!*
A sound of something crashing to the floor… Nanami-san! She has also fainted! Geez, the super powered aliens faint while me, the normal human stays awake! What kind of world is that!?
"Oh crap..."
Uzume-san sniffled out. Miya-san raised her hand, and pointed at Uzume-san with a dark, almost killer-like expression.
"Uzume. What is rule number 1?"
"... No… obscenity..."
"Sorry. I didn't hear you. What was rule number 1?"
"No obscenity."
Uzume-san cried out with tears streaming down her face. Miya-san smirked, albeit not being able to be seen by most standards.
"No meals for the remainder of the day, and tomorrow's breakfast for you is cancelled."
"Uwah..."
She patted Uzume-sans head, and that was it. She passed out from overwhelming fear! Oh shit! N-Now I know why Uzume-san said that Miya-san is a little… yeah. Better not go down that road. I don't want to be the next victim of floating demonic heads!
"Uzume… you can't sleep out here."
Miya-san giggled darkly while bending down, patting Uzume-san's head. Uzume-san in her unconscious state, shivers intensely. I guess, even in her sleep, she is frightened of the demonic head, and its creator, the landlady-sama of Izumo Inn, Asama Miya-sama.
"Well, I guess it can't be helped since she broke a rule."
Miya-san stood up, then looked in my direction. I threw my hands up in defence! I haven't broken any rules! Please don't bring out the demon head again! I… am so scared right now. I have to stay on her good side or I will die by demon head!
"I wasn't being bad! I swear on my life I wasn't being bad!"
"Fufu, I know you weren't. Oh my, what happened to your friends?"
Yeah, don't act all innocent landlady-sama. You knocked them out with your super demon head thingy. I wonder where that thing went? Wherever it went, I'm glad. As long as it isn't around here, then I am content. I don't want demon heads to float by again, ever.
"Erm… exhaustion?"
I played along with her little game. Miya-san raised her sleeve to her mouth and let out a chuckle, seemingly playing the game with me. But this game, I haven't a clue as to what it was.
"I see. Well, they can't sleep out here. Your room is this one here."
She pointed at the room that has "201" written next to it as a sign. I went forward, reached out my hand and opened the door slightly to reveal a room that was bigger than my room back at the apartment.
I took a breath, then stepped inside. I can't believe it, this room is mine. And it's all thanks to Uzume-san. When she wakes up, I will have to thank her. And as for my Sekirei, well I will have to wake them up in a minute. I just wish to take this all in.
"So? Is it okay?"
Miya-sans voice rang out from behind me. I did a 180 to face her with a large grin on my face.
"Y-Yes! This is very amazing!"
"Fufu, you have such a funny way of expressing happiness. If you'll excuse me. I have to go and make dinner now. Please, unpack and I will call you when dinner is ready."
With happy tears streaming down my face, I nodded at her! With a small giggle, she left the room happily. Hehe… she is a strange woman. But she's very nice, when she isn't summoning demonic heads to devour my soul!
Phew… now I can relax. Or that's what I thought. When I looked out of the window, I saw someone looking into the window. A girl. A girl that has short wild light red hair and is wearing a tight fitting yellow jumpsuit with black sleeves. She has thigh high brown boots and… is that a Sekirei crest on her left hip!?
Oh great! It's someone like Toyotama! She's going to be after me, isn't she? But… she's just… studying me. Her eyes aren't leaving my form. There's barely an expression on her face. It's just so… melancholic? Huh? What's wrong with her?
I stood up, and went to the window. When I opened it, she locked eyes with me, not moving a muscle. I opened my mouth, but she put a finger to her lips, as if to silence me.
She then mouthed something to me, but I don't know what she said as I don't read lips. She then started to jump away, and disappeared from view within seconds. Of course, that girl is a Sekirei, but why was she here? I guess it isn't any of my business but I would like to know.
"Haru-sama..."
I heard a noise behind me, so I looked and saw… Nanami-san. A pale looking Nanami-san at that. I went over to her, but she gripped my shirt and looked at me with desperate eyes.
"Haru-sama, I am scared of landlady-sama."
"Ehehe, there's no need to be frightened Nanami-san. Miya-san seems to be a really lovely person. She even gave us a place to live, and lowered the cost for us. Isn't that a good show of niceness?"
"I-I guess. But that demon head was..."
I think Miya-san has pretty much destroyed Nanami-san's brain by this point. I just hope that the demon head doesn't show up so often. I petted the back of Nanami-san's head, in a comforting manner.
"Where is Kuno-san, Nanami-san?"
"Oh… still passed out, I think. But… Who were you looking at?"
I looked out of the window and shrugged my shoulders.
"I don't really know. I think she was a Sekirei. But the strange thing was, she just studied my form, not taking her eyes off me for an instant until she left. I don't think she would've harmed me, even if she had the chance. Call me crazy huh."
"Okay, crazy!"
I face faulted! She actually called me crazy!
"I didn't actually want you to call me… ugh, never mind."
"Oh… sorry!"
"It's okay. But Nanami-san, what do you think about this place?"
"I'm happy! We finally have a home! And I would like to see Toyotama try and take on landlady-sama!"
I chuckled at her. Yeah, don't take on landlady-sama. But she's right, this is our home. We have finally come home. But what happens next?
15It's been a week since I came to Izumo Inn. I haven't seen that Sekirei girl since that day. And there's been no news on Toyotama or anything like that. If I was them, I wouldn't attack here either. For one, Miya-san is here. I saw her swing a bokken around the other day, and I saw her split a leaf in half, with one swing. It was very scary indeed. I mean, how the hell does someone do that?
But, for life right now, it isn't that bad. Everyday I wake up to two girls cuddling up to me, going downstairs to see a landlady who prepares lovely meals for us. I haven't seen the other residents of this place yet. I believe she is called Kagari-san. The only thing I know about her is that she is a girl. That's it. And her name of course.
I don't know exactly why I haven't met her, but I can only assume that she works when I am home and at home when I am at school. Ugh, strange indeed. But I've obviously met Uzume-san. We get along quite well indeed. She's a funny girl to talk to. But she keeps setting off Miya-san. I wish she wouldn't do anything like that.
But all in all, my life isn't that bad. I get to have a nice meal, a nice landlady when she isn't angered and nice roommates. Well, for one anyway. From what I've heard, this Kagari-san isn't that bad. I heard she's nice. I wonder when I will get to meet her...? E-Either way, I'm sure that we will in the future.
But for now, I'm stuck between two people. Nanami-san and Kuno-san. Kuno-san is clinging to me, tightly. But she isn't shaking. So she is getting better. That's always a plus!
And as for Nanami-san, she is smiling away happily. She's always a happy girl though. She is a nice girl who is happy! She even gives up her day for me. Just because Toyotama is still out there, I can't go out alone. It makes me feel like I'm being babied or something. But I know it's necessary because if I die, they also die. So it isn't just taking my life, it's taking three lives with one life.
"Haru-sama, can I feed you?"
"N-No Nanami-san! I-I want to feed Namikaze-san!"
Another fight about who feeds me while sat at the table downstairs. Is it really necessary? I can feed myself, you know? But they don't see that. They, pretty much every meal now, have a fight about who gets to feed me.
"But Kuno-chan, I am Haru-sama's first Sek… first girlfriend!"
"B-But I-I..."
And they continue on while I smile weakly. This is pretty much the norm now. And they will be getting told off by Miya-san soon. Since this is classed as fighting in her eyes, she will stop them in a minute.
Push!
I felt something getting pushed into my back! I-It feels really soft! When I turned around, I saw Uzume-san looking at me with a daring smile.
"U-Uzume-san!?"
"Yes, Haru-chan?"
Yeah, she calls me Haru-chan. It's supposed to be affectionate or something. She raises her hand to my face, and strokes it gently...! W-Why is she doing that all of a sudden!?
My face heats up at the lightly touching Uzume-san. I don't think the girls of mine have noticed anything yet as they are arguing. And as for Miya-san, she isn't in the room, or she would've put a stop to it.
"W-What are you..."
I trailed off, looking at her with dark red staining my cheeks. Even I can see that Uzume-san is a very beautiful girl. And s-she has h-huge boobs! A-A boy my age, seeing breasts and especially as big as Uzume-sans, will drive my hormones into overdrive!
"Say, would you like me to feed you?"
"F-Feed me?"
I gulped the saliva in my throat, trying to catch my breath. S-She offered something like that!? Uzume-san takes my chopsticks and points them at me.
"So, my Haru-chan. How shall I feed you? With these? Or, should we be even more daring and use mouth to mouth feeding? I've heard that people bond by sharing food from one another's mouths. So, want to try it?"
I blushed up a storm, and looked at her lips. Feeding me from her lips, her mouth. T-That would be… her lips are… moving towards me...but as they were about to make contact, she pulled away with a cheeky smirk on her face!
"Haru-chan, such a cute expression on your face."
"A-Are you teasing me?"
I stuttered at her. She raised her eyebrows in what appears to be excitement and she nodded, while looking into my icy blue eyes with her brown eyes. She brushes some of my gray hair away from my forehead and pressed her forehead against my own! H-Her lips, inches away from m-my own!
"Hehehe, yes. I am such a tease. But, don't you also like teases?"
"W-Well..."
That's all I could say! T-The thing is… Uzume-san is… I-I erm… Uzume-san is… I suddenly feel cold inside. Like something is going to get me. I am really frightened right now. W-What's happening!?
Shiver!
Something went down my spine and made me shiver. And it seems the other girls can feel it also as they've stopped what they are doing! T-They are frightened! S-So am I! I know this feeling! It is! It's...!
"Uzume. Nanami. Kuno."
Yes! The grim reaper herself has come! I didn't have to look as I could see the aura of purple surrounding the area in that direction! But I looked away to see Miya-san, having a neutral face, yet with a scary power surrounding her!
Uzume-san gets away from my body, swivels around the table and sits as far as possible away from me. Kuno-san is trying not to pass out, while Nanami-san looks violently ill.
Miya-san looks towards Uzume-san who shivers slightly.
"Uzume, what's rule number one?"
Uzume-san, frightened, answers her while sobbing to herself. I-I just wish that nothing bad comes along! The demon head! I don't want the demon head to come and eat my soul! Over the past week, I've seen it a few times, and I can now say that I don't want to be killed by it!
"No… obscenity."
Uzume-san sobbed out while hugging herself. Miya-san nodded to herself happily, then she turned to my two Sekirei. Kuno-san hugs me while shaking heavily. W-Well, she lasted quite awhile anyway. And Nanami-san, has tightened her hold of my arm, looking at Miya-san in fear.
"Good Uzume. Nanami, Kuno. What's rule number 2?"
They shivered, frightened of what's going to happen.
"No fighting."
"N-No fighting."
Miya-san nodded while holding her hand to her mouth, as if she's amused. But then, Miya-san points her hand at me.
"Namikaze-san, can I ask you for a favour?"
"S-Sure, I don't mind. What do you want to ask me?"
"You aren't at school today, yes?"
I nodded. Today is Saturday so obviously I'm not. And it isn't like I'm busy either, for now anyway. Uzume-san is going to visit Onee-chan today, but I have to work at around 12 so I won't be able to go.
"That's right. But I am going to be busy from 12 to about 8 tonight. Why do you ask?"
"Oh, I was wondering if you would do this old housewife a favour and collect some potatoes from the local market store? I would do it myself, but I have some cleaning to do that can't be put off any longer."
"Yes, I don't have a problem with that."
"My, thank you."
She smiled and I did the same. I love this landlady-san, as opposed to scary landlady-sama! But, I do wish that I could go and see Onee-chan today. But I can't and I have to go to work… boo, work.
"Like I said, it isn't a problem."
So I got my chopsticks back from Uzume-san and started eating my meal again. Nanami-san and Kuno-san don't seem to want to feed me anymore. I guess that's because they are under the watchful gaze of Miya-san, or landlady-sama!
After the meal, I stood up and faced my Sekirei girls.
"So… does anyone want to come?"
"I'll go, Haru-sama! Besides, Toyotama might be out there, waiting for you again."
Why does that almost sound like a threat? And why did she lean in close to say it? Is she threatening me with Toyotama? I'm scared now! I hate Toyotama! I hope she gets what's coming to her!
"A-Ah, okay! Kuno-san, do you want to come?"
"Erm… I was going to… work on my origami… is that okay Namikaze-san?"
"Sure it is. You don't have to ask for my approval. Yes, please stay here and have fun!"
"Thank you Namikaze-san!"
I will never understand Sekireis. She thanked me for letting her stay here. I don't like people thinking that I can tell them what to do. I don't like having that power over people. And especially my Sekireis. They are their own people, and they have their own personalities.
"Well, see you soon Kuno-san!"
"Yes!"
Nanami-san and I left the room after she stood up. We went to the front door, and she took my hand in hers. Each time she does, I blush brightly. The same with Kuno-san. I'm sure that in the future, I will be able to do things like this but for right now, I have to blush or I will pass out.
We made it to the front door, put on our shoes and headed out of Izumo Inn. Since it is a warm day, we don't have to wear coats or anything. Erm… thinking about it, does Nanami-san and Sekirei experience the cold? Because, Nanami-san always wears that tight outfit.
I don't know whether I should ask or not? Nah, I will. Nanami-san doesn't mind feeding my curiosity a little.
"Nanami-san, can I ask you something?"
"Um… yes! What do you want to ask?"
"Hm… Nanami-san, do you, and Sekirei in general, experience the cold, or the heat? Basically, any change in weather."
Nanami-san puts a finger to her chin, seemingly in thought. Then about a minute later, she dropped her hands to her sides, seemingly coming up with an answer.
"A little yeah! But, I guess we are a little more resistant to it. Why did you want to know about it, Haru-sama?"
"Curiosity I suppose. I just want to learn everything I can about you, and Kuno-san. S-Since we are going to be together… from now on, I think we should l-learn more about one another, don't you think so, Nanami-san?"
"Y-Yes, I think that we should know everything about one another!"
I nodded and we continued to walk together, talking and getting to know one another even more.
But that all was put to a stop, when five minutes later, when standing on a deserted road, someone stopped in front of us. By the form, it is a female. Big breasts, slender body and… the girl has long green hair! I know this shade of green! And that weapon on her back is unmistakable! The girl, with the staff that scares me. The girl that keeps attacking me, is standing in front of me and Nanami-san.
Nanami-san, seeing Toyotama, stands in front of me, and gets out her spear like weapon immediately. Toyotama takes out her staff, and swings it around her head.
"No. 16! Why are you here!?"
Nanami-san demanded from the girl, glaring with such hostility. The girl named Toyotama smirks with a dirty undertone that says she is going to kill us. I mean, seriously. All this harassment because Nanami-san didn't want to be with someone else. She wanted to be with me. Yet she can't let it go.
"I have come to settle this, once and for all. No. 78, prepare yourself! I am going to terminate you here and now!"
I blinked in confusion. So she wants to settle this, once and for all? I-I don't understand why, they have to fight at all? This is just bad. I don't want Nanami-san to lose. I believe in Nanami-sans skills but, this girl is… Nanami-san is going to… I don't want her to lose.
"Fine. I will settle this. For what you have done to my Ashikabi. Destroying his home. Constantly targeting my Ashikabi! He has nothing to do with your anger at me! Yet, you've put my Ashikabi in danger! So come at me. And like traditional Sekirei battles, I will introduce myself. I am No. 78, Nanami!"
Nanami-san stepped forward, gripping her spear strongly, yet full of confidence. Toyotama smirks dangerously and also steps forward.
"I am No. 16, Toyotama. Now, No. 78, let us finish this! Hyaaaaaaaaa!"
Toyotama immediately lunged forward, staff in hand. Nanami-san takes a defensive position, reading herself to combat the foe in front of her. Nanami-san, as Toyotama gets close, swings her spear horizontally at the incoming Sekirei.
"Miss!"
But Toyotama jumps over the attack and then makes a stabbing motion! Nanami-san reacts to the incoming stab and dodges her attack by jumping to the left. Nanami-san then jumps back a few feet and then comes at Toyotama with full force!
"This is for Haru-sama!"
"Take this bitch!"
Nanami-san and Toyotama run at one another, then their weapons clash in the middle! Sparks come off the respective weapons, as they struggle for dominance. Neither is giving an inch. No leeway at all.
They exchanged weapons, then pushed back from one another. Nanami-san goes in front of a low strike, but Toyotama evades it swiftly. Toyotama, after evading the attack from Nanami-san, thrusts her spear at Nanami-san!
GIN!
The weapons made sparks. Nanami-san was able to deflect the attack of Toyotama! Toyotama growls to herself in annoyance.
"You are seriously getting on my nerves!"
"Then, why don't I just put an end to you!"
"Come and try you bitch!"
A tick mark forms on Nanami-san's head, she then puts her spear directly in front of her, in a position that says she is about to attack.
"Get ready for my Piercing Edge!"
Nanami-san, sprints forward and does quite a number of stabbing motions, too fast for me to see! Toyotama raises her staff and swings it around expertly to overcome Nanami-san's attack.
