Hey guys, it's been a while. Things got a bit hectic at my place. My job is eating most of my time and energy; That is one of the biggest reasons. Still, while Pillar Winged took nearly one month to finish, this was done in relatively fast order. It looks like I'm on schedule again, which is great for me as I have lost a lot of time, and so I want it out now.
We have been working, and I think the requester really wants this chapter out on time and me to work on this one. He has been hoping for this one for a long time now.
This chapter will be the cutoff point where this will take another route. I hope you guys are ready for this.
I owe a lot to a reader of this fic who I have gotten good friends with over the months between delays.
VIRUS-GO has helped me with tips that add a good dose of realism to this fic. His tips and insights are a real help to this subject matter.
For that, one big thank you.
This will be one fun ride, though. We are now at 25 chapters and most likely at 250K words. When I updated this fic a few months ago, we got quite a few replies back. Eight reviews and all quickly. Thank you all.
One came later from somebody who I am happy to see around as well.
136 reviews. That's awesome.
About this chapter, you guys can look forward to quite a bit. Not all of it is my idea, though.
We got 201 followers and 187 favorites. That's good for me. Thanks, guys.
Now, it's time for the guest review
Anonymous on the 11th of January.
Thanks for the review. Ichika isn't indeed a doormat. He can hold his own.
You hit the nails. They want to "protect" him while he was weak yet, he held his own. They just don't learn from their mistakes.
They got their pride and superiority shoved so far up their asses; there's no room for better things.
About that praying, wasn't my idea. But I think that Ichika would dislike that idea of being turned into a stud.
The rest are Houki, Rin, Cecilia, Charlotte, and Laura. I think that Ichika doesn't want them to fall in love.
He wants to be left in peace and alone.
He could take up the weapon that slays demons. It could slay gods.
No one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun to slay demons in Doom. So it can be used for gods.
Now, there is one interesting idea, but that is for another time.
Started on 18/03/2021
Ended on 20/03/2021
This was done fast, and I am happy about that.
So you think you can own me,
well you'd better just think again.
You'd better watch your steps now, woman.
Cause I ain't like those other men
Opening song. Through the fire and the flames.
0:00 – 0:18
The opening begins as the first image featuring Minato is surrounded by his Sekirei such as Musubi, Kusano, Matsu, Tsukiumi, Kazehana, and Kagari. Next, Minato, Musubi, and Tsukiumi are shown on the blue background, Kagari and Kazehana are shown on the pink background, Matsu and Kusano are shown in the yellow background, Uzume and Chiho on the cyan background.
0:18 – 0:27
(Then, the Title Scene displays the name of the fic is shown. Brave New World)
0:27 – 0:38
In the next scene, Minato and his Sekirei harem run towards the edge of Shinto Teito during the sunrise. Minato's four first Sekireis happily express themselves as if they're jumping towards Minato in joy, Kazehana drinking her sake with Kagari being cool with Minato with them, and Uzume entertains Chiho with her outfit.
On a cold winter morning
In the time before the light
The next scene is that Yukari and Shiina spend time in the cafe together.
In flames of Death's eternal reign
We ride towards the fight
Then the moment Seo begins to flirt with another woman, Hikari gives him a shocking treatment while Hibiki stands by.
When the darkness has fallen down
And the times are tough, alright
After that, we see Ichika Orimura is shown as he's walking with his backpack in the rain.
The sound of evil laughter falls
Around the world tonight
Ichika's reflecting on the way he was badly treated by Chifuyu and his IS girls, especially Houki.
Fighting hard, fighting on for the steel
Through the wastelands evermore
However, in this version, we get to see Chifuyu and Houki are in silhouette.
The scattered souls will feel the hell
Bodies wasted on the shores
Couldn't bear it any longer, he begins to run and trip.
On the blackest plains in Hell's domain
We watch them as they go
Down into the deep sadness with one tear comes out from his eye, Minato arrives with the umbrella and gives him a hand to get Ichika back up.
Through the fire and pain and once again we know
So now we fly ever free
We're free before the thunderstorm
Next, in the first version, Minato and Musubi are then seen battling Hayato Mikogami and No.43, Yomi, in the first version.Though Yomi seemed to be easy to handle than last time, Musubi's able to gain an upper hand and completely defeated Yomi.
On towards the wilderness
Our quest carries on
Then Ichika has been chased by his pursuers and runs into Minato and his Sekirei harem, who are willing to protect Ichika.
Far beyond the sundown
Far beyond the moonlight
Deep inside our hearts and all our souls
The pursuers who chase Ichika turns out to be none other than his older sister, Chifuyu, and his IS harem in the silhouette, then appear, wanting to capture Ichika. Meaning they plan to make Ichika come back to the IS Academy by force.
So far away we wait for the day
For the lives, all so wasted and gone
We can see Ichika's evolution, as he's changed from a little kid to the middle school age, and then his current age.
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames, we carry on
Rapid events happen during this section.
Then Tabane floats into the atmosphere and the world is shown. Then Miya Asama is seen at Maison Izumo with Takehito lying in her lap. The song ends with the main characters all together in four-colored hexagon backgrounds (dark blue for Minato, Musubi, and Tsukiumi, pink for Kagari, and Kazehana; yellow for Kusano and Matsu, Pcyan for Uzume and Chiho).
Minato felt his head swimming, but yet, he could hold on. Around the bed, Matsu, Kazehana, and Musubi were watching how Minato was smashing Tsukiumi. The red face stood well on the Waterdere.
"Minato, thee can't be serious. You can't show me like this. Not to these concubines" From behind, he was ramming into Tsukiumi. His hands played with her large tits so she couldn't bow down. Musubi was paying with the dick and pussy while Kazehana and Matsu watched the scene.
It was supposed to be a fuck now with just the three, but Tsukiumi wanted to get along as the True Wife. So they relented, but Kazehana would need to have a serious talk with their girl. She couldn't keep acting like a girl.
They were going to be mothers, for God's Sake.
The rest of the eight didn't come along. Kusano went without saying, Kagari also didn't come along. When asked, the Fire Maiden shook her head. She was fine with something special, but she could keep her distance. For fun, she wouldn't do it yet again. Uzume and Chiho would hang out on their terms.
They had to keep the lovemaking to human levels. So that was why they did it like that. Kazehana and Matsu could join up later.
Not that it was all sunshine and rainbows, though. Their pregnancy set in, and all women had experienced the positive effects of bringing new life to the world.
Kazehana and Musubi could feel their lower back hurting. Not just with their tits are growing but the children growing in their bodies. Musubi would have been fine usually, but with the twins, her body was stretched to the limit.
They were tired more often than not as well, and for the first time, neither Kagari and Chiho didn't mind their smaller breasts. Sure, they still had some hurt, but not too bad compared to the others.
While Kazehana and Musubi took the brunt, the others also experienced the pain. Minato had taken some lessons from Ichika on how to massage the lower backs and all areas surrounding that to alleviate the pain. It was better than some other tricks or medication.
Good thing he practiced on Uzume.
And learned some bits from Ichika.
Not that he regretted the whole thing, but it proved to be one handful to take care of seven pregnant women, six aliens, and one human woman.
He counted his lucky stars that they weren't whiny about it. They sucked up as he did. Those nine months would go by fast. At least, he hoped because it was clear that pregnancy was no fun. But the good news was that he could do this.
His hands traveled south while he touched her clit.
Minato slowly rubbed while Tsukiumi enjoyed herself. Despite the heavy blush and huge teasing from her lover, she couldn't keep hiding the fact that she somewhere enjoyed it. Minato could feel that most eyes were on Tsukiumi and not on him.
Matsu and Kazehana were looking at him hungrily while Musubi could only enjoy the sight. She found it incredible how Tsukiumi was doing it like that. One of the hands went to tweak her nipple while the other just continued on her clit. He didn't let go, of course, and when Tsukiumi got teased by Musubi, licking the action, Minato couldn't hold it in.
The Waterdere fell, exhausted but satisfied. He had enjoyed himself. Looking over to Matsu and Kazehana, Minato had an excellent idea. Without saying anything, they found the dangerous glint in his eyes alluring. Taking Kazehana by her feet, he flipped her over, so she laid on her back. Grabbing Matsu, he placed her on top of Kazehana.
Both women giggled when they found out what he had in mind. Minato looked at a dejected Musubi and sighed. Placing her next to the duo, he didn't say a word but put his fingers in her. With his head right next to hers, he softly whispered something, and Musubi gleefully nodded.
Minato put his hands on Matsu's hips with a victorious grin and placed his dick between the two. And just like that, he slid in and out between them. The friction was incredible, and it wasn't just proving to be pleasurable between the two as he hit their clit.
The tits collided as their bodies were forced to lie down on each other. Sure, it wasn't a problem, but they could only enjoy so much with their tits squashed against each other. Next to Matsu and Kazehana laid Musubi, who got fingered by Minato. He played with her pussy and shoved it out the same way as with Matsu and Kazehana.
His eyes were filled with lust, and the three women felt how Minato was fucking them. Oh, this was so much fun. Kazehana felt how Matsu was kissing her and touching her up. She didn't mind it one bit, of course. The Wisdom Sekirei explored her mouth; They knew that, of course. With just one man around, it would come to that.
Plus, Kazehana liked Uzume and Chiho's play. Now, if she could remember it, she had to save that idea for later. Not that it was possible with how good it was feeling. Pushed down by Matsu's body, Minato's dick between their pussies and looking at how Minato fingered musubi. Tsukiumi laid next to them. It was clear that higher functions were shut off.
Minato was going at them as they wanted him, and they couldn't help but enjoy how Minato was doing them. Kazehana felt how her pussy was leaking juice and not just her own. Minato had dumped at least one load in her before.
Two things came to Matsu's mind when she saw the face of Kazehana.
The abstinence had caused Minato also to grow hungry.
And that drink, from a few months ago, had its traces left in her.
Matsu felt how Kazehana pressed her closer. The two just giggled as their fantastic bodies collided. They had to write down ideas for later. It had been clear that both moved faster to get Minato off and to get their own pleasure.
Minato groaned like an animal as he felt his release imminent, and before long, the two were there first. Matsu was first as she fell down, followed by Kazehana, who let out a shout. Their bodies were painted in seed as Minato collided on top of them.
They were off to blissful sleep; Minato was still awake. He turned to Musubi, who looked gleefully ready to take him like that.
Putting his dick on Musubi's lip, she was already soaked and positively happy that she could receive his love. Minato quickly put it in, and Musubi bounced with her back from the bed. He could only enjoy himself, buried deep and warm inside her.
She could kiss Minato as he pinned her down, her breasts squashed against his chest. He took up her arms and kept her to the bed. Minato enjoyed himself while Musubi moaned out with her tongue, hanging out her mouth while Minato could enjoy her more. She found the pleasure to be there, and when Minato grabbed her tits, he softly played with them.
Their mouths didn't leave each other, though. And they were at ease like this; Just the feeling of their skin. Pulling her up, Minato got Musubi in a seated position, their mouths reattached, and they kissed. He kept her like that.
Her legs went around his ass, and they squeezed him softly like his hands, squeezing her. Of course, it was enough for them like this. Their enjoyment was all there, and just like that, Minato felt his pleasure itching again.
Just like Musubi. The woman could feel her belly-bloating by the number of times that Minato had come inside her. She let Minato's mouth go to allow one last moan as she reached her peak. Minato did the same as he flooded her pussy with his cum. With a goofy smile, she beamed at Minato. His head landed between her magnificent breasts.
"That was amazing." He softly nodded to her chest as Morpheus claimed him. Musubi didn't blame him. It was enough for one night; She knew enough then.
Placing Minato in the middle, at one side, Kazehana and Matsu, she took the other side with Tsukiumi. It might be a petty side to her, but she wanted to sleep next to her Ashikabi.
They were all naked. They had to make the most of those months together. When they had their kids, it might not be the case.
Musubi closed her eyes, and she fell asleep as well as the others. She snuggled to her Ashikabi, and the arms of Tsukiumi encircled around her. That Waterdere was a real tsundere.
Scene skip.
The warm summer sun had been setting when Minato rolled back home to his place. Just like the others, he was completely satisfied. It had been one crazy day to fuck, but for the five, it was the most enjoyable.
"We're home." They shouted when they entered the house. Immediately, Kusano came rushing down. Minato was prepared for that as he quickly lifted Kusano under her arms as hugged the blonde ball of sunshine.
"Welcome home, big brother," Minato smirked while he hugged and got a kiss from the young Sekirei.
"Hey, Kusano." Putting her down, she went over to her big sisters, who greeted the little girl while she began to tell her day. Noting his queue, Minato decided to leave the Sekirei, and he would start to type his reply back to Ichika.
Of course, things never could be simple as Uzume quickly joined him.
"Hey, hubby." Turning his head, the Veiled Sekirei walked over to her second Ashikabi. Greedy lips claimed him, and she put her head on his lap.
"Hey, yourself. Had a fun day with Chiho?" Uzume nodded while she laid back. Her brown eyes shined at him.
"I can ask you the same thing." Their eyes went outside where the rest had gathered. Matsu sat outside, doing what Takami told her. A large sunhat protected her from the sun. Tsukiumi was enjoying lessons from Miya while Kagari was reading again. She wasn't smoking, which Minato was grateful for.
"It went alright." He yawned when he felt how tired he was. That drink was a great middle, and he would ask for another one if he wanted to keep all his wives serving. Being lacking was the last thing he wanted to be as a husband.
"I see." Their eyes went to Kazehana and Musubi. It wasn't unfamiliar that Kusano had chosen a lap of the Sekirei, preferably either Uzume or Musubi. The latter had her on the lap. Now, the other sight was a bit strange. Chiho was seated on the lap of Kazehana. The Wind Flower was easily the closest to her.
It wasn't hard, though. She had calmly walked up to Kazehana and asked for the seat. The woman pulled her on, and she enjoyed herself with Chiho.
"They get along well."
"They do, don't they? What are you doing here, hubby?" Minato sighed while he booted up his computer.
"Something that is way overdue." That was enough for Uzume to let her Ashikabi work on the mail. Minato had informed Matsu about the knowledge that Airis and Tatenashi knew more than others. The Sekirei of Wisdom could quickly look up more information about that, but she had enough for one day.
Minato made one good point. How much could she do? MBI protected them. A conglomerate could easily hold out more protection than most countries plus their own strengths. Minato was sure, but they had to take precautions.
Hey Ichika.
Mail took some time; I apologize for that. I have to keep eight girls entertained. At least, that keeps me busy.
It looks like you still got some serious issues and even more when I winged Uzume, well.
He looked at Uzume, who was awake.
"What do you think I felt when I winged you and took Chiho in as lover?" Minato pondered while Uzume's eyes shined at him.
"Joy. I could feel it. Happy to be a part of your family." The Veiled Sekirei told him. She was a bit jealous of Minato and his love for the Sekirei.
So when she could join in, she felt joy.
I was happy. I was pleased to have them as well in my family. It was for them I went to hell and back. But I'll keep it at them. I don't think I can handle two more.
Kusano got decent manners. The biggest thing with a child is that you need to be firm. Put your foot down. I have done it with Kusano, and it worked out. She's a delight. But for my own, well, you are putting ideas in my head, little brother.
Matsu has been looking up information about Airis, and we'll see, but so far, I doubt they'll do much. Matsu can put down their entire program. Relay that to the runt.
About Tatenashi, oh, that brings me back.
His eyes went to Uzume, who wanted another kiss.
"I didn't dream about you now I think about it. I did that for Kusano and Tsukiumi. Good dreams." Uzume giggled, and Minato knew he left himself open for an opening.
"Hubby, I gave you pleasant dreams. Don't deny that." Hugging her, Minato nodded at her.
"You sure did." After a bit, the two shook their heads when they looked at their family. It would be rowdy with eight kids around. But oh, she was so looking forward to her son.
It looks like Tatenashi is really irking you. I met people like that. I'll be sure to thank Musubi, Tsukiumi, and Miya in your stead. She'll be happy to hear that your gift is valuable. The Sekirei worked out thanks to you, and they enjoyed it. They're strong, Ichika. Don't you ever forget that?
With the sister, don't start problems if you can avoid them—one thing at the time, Ichika.
I'll keep my eyes open, and we'll keep you posted. Remember this.
Our door is always open, but I need to keep my Sekirei in mind. They come first.
With that, Uzume pulled herself up again. She kissed him again and touched his cheek.
"Don't be a worrywart. You have us. We have you." Minato looked at the family he had made.
"Maybe, I can show you a few things that Ichika taught me. I take you can use some massage." Uzume immediately took off the top, causing Minato to have a slight blush.
She laid down and let her Ashikabi take care of it. She let out a happy groan when she felt the fingers digging in her soft skin. She kept her bra on as taking it off, even in front of her love, would cause Miya to go bonkers.
The rest of the Flock who was outside could only see how Minato slowly worked his fingers over the lower back of Uzume, who purred like one giant cat while Minato continued to press the fingers in her working out the knots. Her tits were on par with Matsu and third to Musubi and Kazehana. Yeah, she could use it.
His fingers moved up to the upper back and to her neck. There were other places but for now, just a quick one caused her to relax quite a bit. Minato moved up to touch her upper back and she groaned when she felt how he worked out her knots. He had really gotten good at this.
Groaning, she was blissfully happy while Minato continued to keep the lessons in mind.
"You've gotten better at this, hubby." Minato grinned while he pressed on. He was sitting behind her and was happy he was spent as he would have certainly gotten a boner by doing this.
"Post your thanks to Ichika. He taught me some tricks. He's better than me." Uzume thought back on the boy. Oh, like the others, she liked that kid.
What a shame that the Sekirei Plan was over? That boy would make one hell of an Ashikabi.
It wasn't right that a boy, so bright and friendly, was locked up in a school.
"You got the same, right?" Minato didn't need to ask.
Their gut was telling them that big problems were coming up.
"Dinner's ready." With that line, the two stood up and went for dinner.
Minato could enjoy some food with his family. It would be soon and the last meals that they would cherish in this house that was their home for years. Only a few months before they left.
It marked a signal—a turning point.
They weren't the only ones for dinner. Minato raised an eyebrow that his little sister was there as well. Kusano was delighted to see Shiina again.
The Ashikabi gave his brother-in-law a handshake while Shiina grinned.
"Hello, Yukari. Evening, Shiina? What are you doing here?" Miya giggled when the youngest Sahashi glowered at her.
"I gave her a call. I think that you need to have a talk with your sister about the youngest sibling." Shiina sighed when he heard that.
Old fire is hard to snuff out. Minato shared a look with his Sekirei, who was assuming of what was going on. They heard of their husband what was going on. And how much more Ichika had on his plate.
"After dinner." Minato's tone left little room for argument. When it was over, the Asama couple let the talking to them.
"I just sent a mail-back to Ichika. It looks like he's in even bigger trouble." Musubi crossed her arms while Tsukiumi sighed.
"Didn't Ichika learn enough from his training? I put him through rigorous exercises." Minato sighed when he heard that.
"He is. He is thanking both you and Musubi for that, Tsukiumi. If you didn't do him such harsh training, he would be even further gone. Matsu, you found our more?" The Wisdom Sekirei wasn't smiling when the attention turned to her.
"Well, I haven't found large breaches in our personal backyard, but it's easy to forget when you think about our opponents. Minato, both Airis and Tatenashi aren't just your average school girls." Minato laid back and let her speak.
"Airis is a princess of Luxembourg, and her Infinite Stratos is made by Tabane. Now, I doubt that she would have to do anything with her but."
"Don't put anything besides her. We really pissed her off, and morals isn't a thing she had." Yukari shared a look with her brother. Their father was a mad genius but at least had some semblance of a conscience.
"What about Sarashiki?" Kazehana asked while she was severely hiding her fury.
"There are two of them from what Ichika wrote. Tatenashi and Kanzashi. We had hoped we didn't have counterparts yet; Kanzashi is mine. While I doubt that she will cause major harm, she isn't much after Ichika himself but more because his sister is interested in him. Yet, I'll continue. Tatenashi is the older one, and she's the heiress of the Sarashiki family. They're a pretty big covert operation family fighting another one, Phantom Task."
Matsu took a breath.
"Phantom Task isn't in line with us but with the Infinite Stratos. That links to them to Ichika and through him us, although we are more worried for what happens in the ISA." They nodded to continue.
"Because of their old family, they have a vast amount of resources, and so, it was easy enough to have something for us."
Yukari took over from her sister-in-law.
"Matsu. Would they be able to harm you, girls?"
"Unlikely, Yukari. They might have found information about us, but we got MBI backing us. It wouldn't be too hard for your mother to arrange a meeting. They can either level the field or take it up. I doubt Takami would see the death of us because of that family." Minato rubbed his eyes.
"We can pull, but that would just mean it's us against them. If they know you girls have children."
Shiina gulped when he saw Minato that angry.
"Could Tatenashi really do something that horrible? Harming unborn babies." Minato relaxed and softly stroked Kusano's hair.
"Don't put it past them." Shifting his attention to his sister, Yukari found a look of Minato.
"Remember the plan and Higa, sis? He did the same." Yukari nodded slowly. The more links you had, the more it hurt: their mother, Miya, even Seo, and their friends.
"You are right, brother. What do you have in mind?"
Minato stood up and put Kusano off him.
"I am going to take a walk. I need to clear my head and organize what our next moves are."
Looking at his lovers and family, Minato's eyes were resolved.
"Our brother might come back, but we need to take precautions for if he does. Your safety comes first. That is something I had to accept."
With that, the Ashikabi of the North left the meeting. Musubi and Tsukiumi wanted to go after him but were stopped by Kazehana and Uzume. They shook their heads. They felt just the same, but Minato had to make up his mind.
In the Infinite Stratos Academy.
A young man would also experience a change in his life soon. Ichika wasn't sure if the Maid Café was the best possible outcome, but he cut his losses compared to the other proposals.
The monkey suit really bothered him, but Ichika just stood ready for the customers. Yet, his instincts told him to be prepared for something. The whole school was all decorated. He began to guess that the ISA wasn't that much different from a regular school.
His eyes went inside. The place was nicely decorated, and somewhere, Charlotte looked like that. Ichika guessed that she had worn those clothes before somewhere.
Ichika guided the women in, and he hoped that he could keep his sword around. Luckily, he was allowed to carry his Byakushiki. Of course, the girls were drooling over him.
"Hey there, butler. Why don't you take me to my table?" Turning his head, he was greeted by Rin, who was wearing a shot Chinese dress.
Ichika raised an eyebrow while he looked her over.
"Why are you wearing that?" The puffins on her head looked cute, but she had tied her hair up differently.
She blushed and turned away.
"Shut up. We're doing a Chinese café at Class 2." The back was open, and Ichika guessed it fitted her form tight. He began to think about how some of the girls would look in that. Somewhere he assumed that Kazehana might wear more accessible clothes.
"What's on your head?" Touching the puffins, she smiled at him.
"It's called a chignon." Ichika sighed when he looked her over.
"Well, either way, take me to my table, already!" Minding his manners, he understood he couldn't throw a fuss.
"Sure, sure. Well then, milady, right this way, please." Ichika had been drilled to treat the guests just right, so he went with standard protocol. Inside, it was a mentality of make do and mend. With some creativity and small stuff, you could make nice things.
On the table, he gave it to Rin and handed her the card of food.
"What would you like to order?" Ichika asked his old friend. The green eyes went over the food.
"Well, let's see…" her eyes went over to it.
"What's this "Treat For Your Butler" set?" Ichika cursed inwardly as he thought he deleted that order. Now, he couldn't get away from that.
They were going to have words. And Miya's gift would do the talking.
"Very well." He said as he brought back a bunch of poki and a cool drink
"Thanks for waiting, milady." Ichika sat down next to her, his eyes closed and silently thinking up every dirty word that Matsu and Kazehana taught him.
"Okay. Why are you sitting with me?" Rin looked away while he remained quiet. "Well, it's not like I mind it too much."
Ichika remained quiet until Rin asked the releasing question.
"What kind of set is this?"
"One I hoped to get rid of. You get to feed me." Ichika answered while his eyebrows twitched.
"Come again?" Oh good. She was reacting in a usual way. Ichika hated that this was something he had to expect.
"You get to feed your butler. Guess who the lucky guy is?" He wasn't giving Rin enough credit.
"What kind of set is that? A customer has to feed you sweets?"
Rin looked at the poki.
"I had hoped that I got rid of it." Ichika leaned his head on the table while he joined Rin in.
"You don't have to do it if you don't want to." He added to her. Frankly, he couldn't care about it.
"I mean. It's already here and everything. So I might as well." She began to move her shoulders as if she was fidgeting.
"Take the chance to treat you." She got a nice idea.
"Say ah." She handed him one poki. His eyes remained shut while he quietly ate the poki. Rin got a nice idea.
"I fed you, so now it's your turn to." Blocking her attempt was Houki. Ichika guessed that she looked adorable like that. It was one modest thing, and it didn't show a lot of skin.
"Milady, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that is not part of our services." Okay, Ichika was happy some had common sense only if they showed it more.
With that, Houki walked off. Rin looked away and took one herself. She devoured it, and they sat down in relative peace. After that, she walked out, and Ichika sat back. Maybe he could go back to the front.
But he was interrupted by a lady. "Can I have a moment of your time?" An office worker greeted Ichika with a black jacket and Autumn leaves hair. Red eyes were shining gently at him.
"Yes?"
Ichika got another seat and looked at her. While she looked friendly, something told Ichika that he should watch out.
"So you're Makigami Reiko?" Ichika just let her speak but her eyes. Those eyes were empty.
"Correct. I was wondering if you would use our company's equipment on your Byakushiki?" She had her hand crossed, but yet, Ichika wasn't sure how he was feeling.
She was taking a bunch of papers, but Ichika just raised his hands.
"Well, it's not my choice to go over that. If you want that, I advise you to talk to my big sister." Grabbing his hand, Ichika gulped when they began to press on him.
"Come on. Don't be like that. What do you think about this additional armor or this auxiliary thruster?" She continued to press on his hand, and Ichika gulped. His own removed the hand.
"I told you. Not interested. I'm sorry, but I have to go." Reiko clicked her tongue and strained her hand when Ichika moved.
He stood up and was greeted by Takatsuki, she gave him one smile, and the boy relaxed.
"I was just about to act, Orimura-kun. It looked like you resolved that." The Knight shrugged on that while the woman was relaxed.
"Thanks. So what's up?" She checked her watch, and with a beaming smile, he got some good news.
"You're off for a while. You can go out on your own now. Just be back on time."
That meant he could look around the school a bit. He wanted to go out alone, so he didn't take anyone else along. It looked like the rest had other ideas. The Music Club. But he didn't want to play along.
He began to think about the night that Jin had played that song. Oh, that was a night he wished could last forever.
"We're Blood Brothers." Eventually, he ended up back at the café. He checked his phone.
He smiled as Minato had answered him. His reply could wait.
Ichika wasn't too happy to see Tatenashi standing, dressed up like a maid.
"Ta-da!" She had her flier out, and Ichika sighed while he looked at her. Taking a deep breath, he raised an eyebrow.
"Why are you wearing that?"
"Ichika, I want you to help us with the student council entertainment," she closed the flier and her eyes and aimed it at him.
"An action-packed interactive play!" Instead of thinking he would be jumping with joy, he only crossed his arms.
"Did my sis give you the okay? You are not the boss of me." Tatenashi had realized that everything of her schemes had to go through Chifuyu.
But there was no problem in bending the rules a bit.
"Of course. Now just come with me!" She hooked her arms around his and dragged him along. In the rooms, he changed into a different outfit.
"Just put this on and come to the stage?"
"What the heck is this? A prince outfit. What did you plan?" Tatenashi gave him one mischievous smile and a crown.
"Oh my, Ichika-kun. Don't you trust me?" Ichika dropped the outfit.
"After everything you pulled on me, no." Her red eyes shined at him, but they got a glint.
"Do what I say, or I'm going to cause some serious trouble for that manwhore you call your brother and his sluts." Ichika's jaw tightened, but he kept himself in check. As long Tatenashi could threaten them, it meant she had control over the situation.
So Ichika let Tatenashi order him around. At least for now.
"How do you want me to perform if I have never seen the script?"
That laugh and attitude of hers didn't put Ichika at ease.
"Don't worry about that!" She calmed down a bit, and her eyes shined at him.
"This play is all basically improvised anyway. We'll give you all the directions necessary." Her eyes closed, and she lifted her flier.
"You just do your thing, okay, Ichika." With that, she walked off, and Ichika sighed. She forgot only one thing.
He had to change in his room for the whole café, and he hid something in this.
"Very well. If we have to improvise." Ichika took out the katana that was hidden in the locker. Putting the sword down, he hoped that Miya was watching over him.
Quickly, he changed into his outfit, and he put the sword on his back.
His gut was screaming at him, and he wanted to have his best friend around.
Before he left, he sent a message to Minato.
Watch over me today.
After Ichika changed, he walked out, and the school was ready for the play.
"Now, let's get this started." The roof closed and blocked out the sun. Too bad, it was one of the last sunny days.
Ichika could see how the roof replaced the sky with stars, and he gulped on what he was getting.
"Once upon a time, there was a girl named Cinderella." The lights got at the boy who looked at the scene. Ichika gulped when he witnessed the show. A girl was sitting down cleaning.
"No, it's no longer a name." The telegraphic screen changed from a girl cleaning to a shoe and a fight.
"Those who gleefully brought down swarms of enemy soldiers across countless balls." They saw her delivering a high kick. Ichika thought he recognized one person in that.
"That's not how I remember the story." The Knight thought when he saw it. If those girls were Cinderella's, he must be the prince. He didn't want to be a prince.
"The most powerful warriors of the world those who revel in utter destruction." The pictures weren't making it easy on the knight.
"The most appropriate title for those girls. That's Cinderella" He saw the five Cinderella's with swords and guns. Ichika had a faint idea of what was going to happen.
"Girls dance around, targeting the confidential data." A picture of the crown on both their heads got up. "Hidden insides the Prince's crown."
Cinderella was published on the screen, and the whole school erupted in fangirl squealing. "Oh shit," Ichika said when he stood back.
[Battle 5 – My Hero One's Justice 2 OST/Soundtrack]
"Once again, tonight, the night of the bloodthirsty Cinderella's begins."
"I take a wild guess it will be Houki and the others?" Ichika said out loud when he began to look around. The lights went on, and he was in the middle of an entire room.
He cracked his knuckles and stood ready."
Rin got from the upper level with a sword. "Oh, fuck."
"That's mine!" She shouted. She launched herself at Ichika and would have hit him if another sword didn't block her. Ichika had pulled him from the back as he effortlessly stopped Rin.
"Rin, what the devil are you doing?" He shouted at her while she tried to get through.
"Give me that crown!" Rin was wearing some princess outfits. White wasn't her color.
"Yeah, I'm not doing that!" Ichika said while he threw Rin off her. In response, she threw a couple of kunai at him. It was easy enough to get them away from him.
Ichika stood back. He was a sitting duck, but when she threw the kunai again, Ichika lost his footing. Oh, he so had words with that fucking cat.
Rin raised her leg and brought it down. The floor crumbled.
The floor crumbled from that attack.
"Aren't those made of glass?" Rin raised her leg and took a heavy breath.
"Don't worry. They're made from tempered glass." Ichika blocked her with the sword of Miya. It was a standstill. Not for long, though. As soon Ichika noticed a laser pointer, Ichika began to move in unpredictable ways. He knew that Cecilia would have a hard time getting to him.
"You wait!" Rin shouted at him, but Ichika knew better. Standing at the stairs, Ichika gritted his teeth when he knew that.
"An action-packed interactive play, huh? My ass." When a bullet grazed by, he was a sitting duck. He moved around to get through a door that led to a balcony. Too high to jump off, but he couldn't continue to sit there.
From a tower, Cecilia aimed but found that he was out of sight. Not out of mind.
"I swear. I will win this no matter what!" She aimed again and found that she could see Ichika; The bullet was lodged above his head. Ichika began to think. If he stayed there, he was dead. But he couldn't see the jump. Or could he?
"Ichika, this way!" Turning his head, Charlotte was wearing another princess outfit. Was it the best way? Putting the sword on his back, Ichika hung down from the balcony, and he jumped down.
When he landed, he turned to see that Charlotte was wearing a shield that protected both of them from the weapons thrown by the two psychopaths.
"Thanks," Ichika told the woman while she kept the shield up.
"I'm sure that they are right behind you. Go ahead and run!" Ichika shook his head as he stood up and took out his sword.
"I'll stay here and help you out. In this fight, I wonder why you girls are after the crown?" Charlotte just sighed while she had her eyes on it. He wanted to destroy that crappy thing.
"Well, could you give it to me?" Ichika wanted to take it from his head and run it down.
Then he heard the voice of Tatenashi, and he could feel his pulse quicken.
"For the prince, his country means everything. So if he ever loses his crown which contains the confidential data." Ichika took it off and felt an electric shock.
"He gets electrically shocked by his own remorse!" Ichika crawled back up from it, and he turned back to the sound of the voice.
"Tatenashi, I know you can hear me. You are one heinous bitch, and I'm going to ram my sword up your ass and turn you inside out, cunt."
Ignoring the insults, Tatenashi continued.
"Is this prince to his country that unwavering? But all we can do is watch over him. How agonizing!" Ichika gritted his teeth and took out his sword. Maybe he could destroy it. No, that cat had foreseen that action.
From above, he heard more problems.
"Got you now!" Rin and Cecilia stood ready. They were trying to kill him.
"Be a good boy, and hold still!" What the hell was he? Some sort of dog.
"We gotta move! Follow me!" He grabbed Charlotte's hand. Unfortunately, Ichika didn't pay attention, and both he and Charlotte to go down. Grabbing, he hoped that he could shield Charlotte from the damage. He also lost his gift.
The last he saw was that it was stuck above. He needed to get it back. It wouldn't fit if he lost the gift of Miya.
Charlotte sat up, looking around for Ichika, while she didn't look too badly hurt.
"Ichika? Where are you?" Ichika was wondering where he was confirmed.
"Dark. Where am I? Did I pass away? I can't breathe." His hands went up to touch something in the darkness.
He wasn't dead, though. He could hear Charlotte moan. What did he touch?
"What the? It's soft. And round." Ichika was wondering what he was touching but an idea formed in his mind. Light greeted his eyes when Charlotte veered up.
"Ichika! I didn't realize you were there!" Sitting up, Ichika scratched his head and looked over to Charlotte, who was holding her hands behind her back. Things never could be quiet as again bullets zipped overhead.
[19 Tekkin Battle – My Hero Academia 2nd OST 1]
"Crap. Gotta run." Racing up the stairs, he left Charlotte behind on the lower bottom. Oh, he wished that he had his sword with him, especially when he saw his next opponent. Laura, who had two knives ready.
"Out of the frying pan, into the fire."
"I have been waiting for you." The two knives came up while she made herself ready.
"Your crown in mine!" She launched herself to Ichika, who didn't have too much difficulty avoiding her attacks. Musubi was tighter; She wasted too much moves and energy on him. The German managed to cut his sleeve.
"You want me dead?" Aiming the knife at him, she smirked.
"You're my bride, so give it up already!" They didn't manage to beat that out of her, right? When he heard a voice, it wasn't Tatenashi.
"It looks like our Prince has found himself a new Princess, chasing him." Pressing a button, she kept some things in mind. Her sister wanted to play, but she could wait for that. A canon was aimed at their direction. It came right their way.
While he didn't Laura, he couldn't leave her to die.
"We are leaving!" Grabbing Laura, he ran away with the woman, and luckily, a zip line was installed. Going down safely, Ichika raced down with her.
The German blushed when she looked at him. They landed safely, but without even catching his breath, he saluted to her.
"Well, I am not waiting around. Cya." The boy sneaked around while he kept his head down. His instincts sharpened during the training. That was why he turned to Houki before she even called him.
She didn't look too bad if he was the judge of it.
"Ichika, this way!"
She was standing on a ladder going up. Well, he was looking to go up.
"Use this to climb to safety!" It couldn't hurt to follow her advice. But he should have gone first as there was no other way but to look up to her butt. He didn't want to see her underwear.
It looked like Houki remembered that as well.
"Ichika, don't you dare look up!"
"Like I would even think about that! We can have this discussion when we are not climbing the ladder!" He snarked at her. Finally, they reached the upper platform.
"I swear when I see that cat, I have words with her!" Composing herself, Houki asked something of him.
"Could you give me your crown?" Ichika sighed as he glared at the piece of metal. Oh, he loathed that as much as the one who gave it to him.
"It's not going to be easy like that!" Kanzashi got the play from her sister. The woman pressed on another button, and that caused a door to open where a giant boulder came rolling down. Ichika began to think that he really didn't like Tatenashi.
[Boku No Hero Academia OST Villain Invasion]
Grabbing Houki by the hand, he pulled her along.
"We need to get out of here!" The boulder came closer, and luckily, he found an opening. He hammed Houki inside with him following.
"That was way too close!" Houki blushed when she looked around. She was even a bit cute.
"Can you let me go?"
"Sure." Before he could even wonder if he had to activate his unit, he heard a voice from behind him.
"That crown is mine!" Laura jumped up with a knife, and he was happy that Houki entertained herself with the soldier.
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Stay out of my way, Laura!"
The woman bit back.
"That's what I should be telling you!" Before they could continue, Ichika heard a haughty laugh, and his eyes went up.
"It appears that the commoners are fighting while the royalty is flourishing." He cursed inwardly when he saw Airis and Djbril.
"It can't be ever quiet." Djbril was wearing an outfit much like the other girls while Airis was wearing her usual outfit. Ichika briefly wondered how Djbril managed herself in that outfit. It showed off her figure. It wasn't meant for her.
The princess had her same haughty expression, and with a simple word, Djbril aimed at Ichika. The boy avoided the shot, but it opened a hole for the other schoolgirls.
"Just my dammed luck." Airis saw how the commoners raced inside
"It appears that many others have now joined in!" Ichika didn't wait to die like that, so he turned to tail. He didn't care where he ran to, but he just continued to getaway. Not even paying attention as long no woman was standing in front of him. A trapdoor opened, and Ichika got pulled inside. Maybe he should have a chat with the person.
A thank you should be more than sufficient.
"They won't find you here!" He heard that voice before. His instincts told him to be on the lookout. Now, he could see the woman.
"Well, I owe you big time. Wait a second? Makigami, what are you doing here?" Ichika crawled up and slowly backed away. His heart was beating like a steel drum, and he could feel himself in a dangerous spot.
"I thought I would use the opportunity of stealing your Byakushiki." Ichika stood back and raised his fist.
"Byakushiki!" Before Reiko or whoever she was could react, Ichika made his unit and slammed the woman in her gut.
Her face, once pretty, was now filled with insanity. "I was hoping you would do that!" From behind her, eight legs came out. A spider Infinite Stratos? Really? Well, Ichika wasn't done in this regard.
"Don't let me keep you waiting!"
Before the chance that Autumn had even to fight Ichika, the boy had drawn first blood. Autumn had to take in the first hit of him.
Ichika couldn't slam her out of the room. He had hoped that they could fight without being limited in this room. A shotgun would make for a great weapon here.
But that wasn't going to let him stop her. Autumn wanted to find one way to fight back. She expected Ichika to be easy to capture. Easy to contain. She didn't expect Ichika just to fling her to the wall. She made her own Infinite Stratos.
"I didn't think you would be fighting. Impressive." Ichika was quiet when he saw the machine. Whoever made that design was messed in the head. Based on a spider. Hideous.
Unlike what she had hoped for, Ichika being afraid relied on his techniques of Miya. Autumn could only feel how Ichika's sword smashed against her legs. When she fired, Ichika could easily block them.
He was much calmer, more relaxed, more in control. Her arms were proving to be a huge nuisance. Ichika began to think about how to hurt. When one arm extended, Ichika avoided the first attack and slammed it away.
Before Autumn had any chance to react, Ichika destroyed a second leg. The lady got furious, and when a punch came his way, he lifted her over the shoulder. Even the force of an Infinite Stratos was nothing, nothing compared to a Sekirei.
As soon Autumn landed, Ichika lodged his sword in her back and turned her around. The left fist came crashing and caused her to be flung away. Ichika grabbed the sword when she was on the floor.
Turning around, Ichika had seen those eyes before.
"Why, you brat!" She deployed an assault rifle, but Ichika raised the gun upwards. Bullets went off, but Ichika kept it up while he rammed his sword in her gut. Using his legs, he kicked her away.
He could use some help for this but had no one around.
[Ichika, do you copy?] Those four words were like the most sacred song he had ever heard.
"Matsu, am I happy to hear you!" Ichika flung back as Autumn was baffled.
"Who are you talking to, little brat?" The boy just grinned while he flung himself at her.
"Don't mind. Matsu, how did you?"
[I had your machine at my spot for the summer. Ichika, you're doing fine. What would you need from your cyber guardian angel?]
He smiled when she joked. "In order." Ichika used more power and gave one swipe to Autumn, which caused her to crash.
"First. Pin my location to Orimura-sensei. Second, tell me what Infinite Stratos I am fighting?" From the dust, bullets zipped his way and Ichika just casually avoided them.
"Third. Is Minato around?"
The voice of his brother came through.
[I hear you, Ichika. Sit tight. We can help you out] Ichika smirked when he listened to his brother.
"I'll be doing the fighting. Matsu, my teacher now." The Wisdom Sekirei immediately began to tap away.
Maya and Chifuyu saw the location coming through. Their mouth dropped open when they saw the feed coming through.
"What is going on? I could foresee an attack, but who is sending this, Maya?" The teacher just gulped when she saw Ichika fighting. Ichika blocked an attack, gave a kick, and brought down another attack.
"I don't know. This just came up."
[This is Matsu. Orimura Chifuyu, worry about your bigger threats] That was all Matsu said to Chifuyu as she shifted back to Ichika, who smiled when he heard the voice again.
[Done. Ichika, what's up next?]
Ichika just began to slash away.
"Matsu, what kind of Infinite Stratos am I facing?"
[You expect me to know.] Luckily for him, the tone she was using was playful.
"Well… Smartest being alive."
It didn't take long before Matsu came with an answer. [You are fighting Arachne. Stupid name. It's a Second Gen from Uncle Sam. The motive of spiders although I don't have to tell you that]
Using his thrusters, Ichika avoided the attack. From above, he slammed into her.
"Okay, what do I need to know?"
[It's easy enough to see that she has several weapons. Don't give her an inch to use others. In CQB, you got her beat.]
The false reassurance was something that boosted Ichika's confidence.
"I trust you, Matsu. Tell me what to do."
[I am here for you.]
Ichika attacked Autumn again. His sword was against the legs, and with a kick, she was flung away.
[Follow her!] Ichika did that, and he kept quiet when Autumn gurgled.
"Who are you? How can you?" He rammed his fist in her mouth, shutting her up. Ichika heard Matsu [Fall back]. Avoiding a net, Ichika just relaxed as his body listened to her.
"What the hell is my sister doing?" As if on cue, he heard his sister giving the girls an order.
"An unknown IS has been detected in the locker room. Currently, it's fighting Byakushiki. Orimura is holding his ground. All students with a Personal IS are to deploy and stand by!" Ichika was hoping she could send some by.
"Alcott and Huang, you two are on patrol for invaders! Airis, Emulail. Take the other side. Shinonono, Dunois and Bodewig are to support Orimura! Go to the locker room!" He got his wish granted.
It would take some time, though, and he didn't want to wait for that one. He was grinding against that woman, and it felt like he wasn't doing anything.
"Matsu, any tips? I don't put a dent on her."
[Use your Ignition Boost and ram her out the room!] Now, that was an idea he could get behind. Using his extra speed, he rammed Autumn up the roof.
"You freaking little brat!" Ichika just slammed her out of the locker room. With one brutal punch, Autumn managed to force Ichika away. Out in the open, Ichika saw her flying away.
"Well, it looks like I can't be the sweeping heroine saving the prince." Ichika's eyes turned to the voice. In walked Tatenashi Sarashiki with her unit out. Instead of saying anything to her, Ichika glared at her.
"I do admit, I am impressed. I wasn't sure how you would handle yourself." Ichika simply stood up and flipped the bird.
His glare told her that it was far from over.
With that, he flew after Autumn. Outside, the girls saw how the unit was rammed through the floor. Only two seconds later, Ichika came through as well. With her outside, the girls saw how Ichika was furious.
"Matsu, I'm taking a detour. One second." Before she could even say something, Ichika raced over to the play. He was lucky that he was fast. The sword was still lodged in the ground. With his left hand, he took it up.
[Lost her sword. Good you found… ] Matsu was quiet as she took a sharp breath.
[Ichika, you got incoming. One more enemy!] She yelled in his mic as Ichika wasn't sure where it came from.
"What? What one?"
[The Silent Zephyrs. Based on the Blue Tears of Alcott, it's even more advanced than her unit.]
Ichika looked around, but he didn't see anything. "Where is it?"
[It's not close to you. Currently, it's fighting Huang and Alcott. It's late to the party]
Ichika couldn't care what went on with them as he had now to deal with Autumn. Outside, Autumn felt how the two swords collided with her body. Ichika was rapidly chipping away her armor and giving her the beating of a lifetime. Out in the open, they could see how Ichika was destroying the machine.
Even from behind her screen, Matsu could see how Ichika was mutilating the machine.
'He's vicious. He must be working out a system.' Before he could even continue the assault, a bullet of energy zipped his way. Turning his head, he saw the other unit standing. The black hair hung over her shoulders.
'Madoka?' He briefly wondered when he saw her.
"I came to fetch, you Autumn."
Ichika heard that through the lines of the comms. He was happy that it was over.
"I demand you address me with respect." Shifting his eyes to Madoka, he was doing something he never would imagine doing. Even if he couldn't see her eyes, he wished he could; his look was enough.
'You as well, huh?'
"Matsu, orders?"
[Don't go after her. Her unit can tear yours to pieces. Don't let Autumn leave. Focus on her!]
Ichika was about to let that happen until the AIC surrounded the woman. They were late. Way too fucking late.
"I won't let you get away!" The others surrounded her while Ichika stood back. He was fuming with rage. Not just at the attack. Only now, they were helping him. Now after this. When Madoka saw that, the Silent Zephyrs flew inside
"Matsu, you are stuck?"
[Just let it happen, Ichika! I don't know much of the machine.]
But when she was inside, Ichika sighed. Her focus was on the three girls. Just like that, she ripped through Laura. Now, Ichika wasn't happy with them, but he couldn't let them get murdered. Before he could act, though, Madoka cut through the AIC.
She smirked, and she looked at the group. Using her unit, she rapidly fired at them, providing cover for Autumn. Ichika wasn't around as he was still in the process of attacking.
[Ichika?]
"I won't act now. It's too dangerous. But what the?" He could see how Autumn left the unit and took the core with her. The rest of the Unit was still there.
[Ichika, that thing is going to self-destruct! Get them out!]
Ichika wanted to shout but found his body moving before he had a good idea of what he was doing.
"Get out! That thing is going to!" His words were cut off from the giant explosion as he looked around. Okay, they weren't the best girls, but no one deserved to turn into ludicrous gibs. He could see how the smoke cleared up and found they were shielded from the blast. Tatenashi had saved them. Ichika landed next to her, and she gave him one brilliant smile.
"Well, it looks like it was a good thing that I came around to save those girls and you, Ichika." Ichika was still fuming. His eyes went up first, and he saw that both Autumn and the other girl had left. Tatenashi expected him to be so grateful for saving her.
What she didn't expect was a fist crushing her nose. Before she could land, Ichika had grabbed her by the vest.
"If you didn't put me in that freaking play of yours, I wouldn't be in that situation, to begin with! You've pushed too many buttons, and you didn't back off!" Kneeing her, he was furious when she coughed up blood. Yet, Ichika couldn't care about it.
"That's it! I am done with this school!" All who heard that shout knew what that meant.
Minato shared a look with Matsu. She had only gotten into him when he was in real danger, but this just was the straw that broke the camel's back.
And now it's time for an omake that my requester had for this fic. It wouldn't fit for this chapter, but I forgot on the one it should be. So here we go. It should have been at the end of Heaven Can Wait, chapter 22.
Tatenashi laid her head back while fantasies came to mind. She hadn't even met this Ichika, and yet, he riled her up.
The show of force that he had was incredible. Not only did he mouth off against Tabane Shinonono, but also did he manage to get the Silver Gospel out. He had friends in high places.
Disregarding the Sekirei, she began to think about how she would have Ichika. Oh, she loved the idea of Ichika to herself.
Her fingers went down to her neither region. She began to think about how she would enjoy Ichika. She laid back with her fantasy adrift. She would tease Ichika to his extent. Oh, she would teach him so much.
Tatenashi would sit on his length, stroking, kissing, licking, and she could think of so many things. She could know how to work on Ichika—hiding the fact that she was a virgin as well.
Tatenashi thought back on Ichika and what else she could let him lick her feet and enjoy herself while she would pin him down.
The amount of abuse she could put him through. In this day and age, it was normal. She would get her release. She would train Ichika to the degree that he could get off on anything. She would turn the first Male Pilot into a denigrate and pervert. She began to think about Ichika and how his muscles would strain against the pain.
Tatenashi would enjoy herself with him, and she would get off on his pain. She would tie him up and hit him.
Tatenashi looked down, and she witnessed how she had reached her peak. She softly giggled when she licked her fingers clean. She laid her head back on the pillows. She had no idea she had such twisted fantasies, but she knew that Ichika would learn to enjoy that.
Tatenashi was always a tease. She always got what she wanted. It came with her life. She had a lot to answer for, and she had a lot of responsibilities. She was just 16, and she had this entire life planned out for her. In that case, she wanted her life out there and worked out. There was no freedom.
At least, she could choose her own man.
She would get Ichika as her man. Tatenashi would make sure of that.
Ending song. {mew} Koukai no Uta (English Version).
First part is the instrumental break. 0:00 to 0:10
The ending begins with the mysterious forming ball, then there's the current-aged Ichika Orimura, who was stuck in the IS cage.
Can you see the light? It's right in front of you. And now you're at the fork within the road, alone.No one else, nowhere else to go...
Then the scene where Ichika was an infant, where's a little Chifuyu's watching over over him the crib.
No turning back, going forward, move ahead. It's tough, you're scared, but you know that you have to cut every tie. No more home to go to.
Then, the still young Chifuyu takes her infant brother away from the place he was born before they can lay a hand on him in order to protect him.
And it hurt to give up all this light you built up. Gentle and generous, kind, warm love. And yet , you turn , take a step, and walk right on.
The next scene is the kid-aged Ichika's childhood history with the kid-aged Houki and the kid-aged Rin in two split panels. One panel on the top is his childhood history with kid-aged Houki where he trains with her at the art of Kendo. And the other panel on the bottom is his childhood history with kid-aged Lingyin, where she made a special promise to him on that day.
But no need to worry, if you have enough today, we'll find it on the way. Let's go and look- together, we can start!
Next, the middle-school-aged Ichika looks at the middle school building. Then inside of the middle school, we saw Ichika's eyes, he was drawn by the machine, which happens to be an IS in the restricted room. Then it shows the symbol of IS, part of the IS mechanics, and there's the current-aged Lingyin Huang.
You don't have to be so strong. No, you don't have to anything to lead as long as your heart is true and you believe
Then the current-aged Ichika falls slowly within the dark area.
It's your spirit and your soul that will keep saving you and make you strong,
Although still falling, in a few moments, Ichika opens his eyes, and then he sees…
No matter what comes - the pain, the hurt, move on!
Kusano, and Minato, who welcomes him into the light door.
So now, don't be afraid, let's walk on today! Whoa! Whooa!
Then Ichika looks upon them with the sparks of light rises and walks into the door of light while Lingyin in her near silhouette dressed in the black coat (similar to the Organization XIII outfit) bows in sadness and watches him go. And then that's it.
I'm not sure if you guys would have seen this ending coming. But for the requester, it means that his scenes are now coming into play.
Funny though. The last chapter of Pillar Winged took me nearly a month, and this is done in a few days.
Not that I complain about it.
Part of me wanted to get this fast as I had the requester in this. My job spared me. I could do the other stuff, and thanks to that, we are back on schedule, which is a good thing.
10K words. That is pretty well done for this chapter.
This is the turning point. For those who thought BNW would be the same as another fic, well, I think that you guys will get one surprise.
Saluut.
