IS and Sekirei Brave new world

by Kerlongsj Evert Orlejov

Request fic. Minato believed that when the Sekirei plan came to an end, his troubles would be over and his life could finally begin. Turns out, the world moves on, boy. Best you do too. His past, among others, is catching up to him and he has to look out for an old friend. Ichika Orimura didn't ask to be sent into an insane school and his single lifeline is an old friend.

34. Sign of the Cross

Hello to you all. It looks like the full chapter will be the course of action. We had our high last chapter.

Despite the vote call, full chapters appeared to be our course of action. As a result, I finished the "Pillar Winged" chapter faster than I would have guessed. Not that I complain about that.

It works better for me, and I can focus on this chapter.

I have also been to Facts, a convention of anime, comics, and other geek hobbies. It might be because I didn't look forward to it or I had to go alone and not have a good time there. Ah, well. I have saved some money, at least during that.

Plus, when I got home, the Hard Core character that I had on Division Two got a crash and was whipped away.

Sixty-four hours, all of it done the shitter. Motherfucking, fucking fucks of Ubisoft. They can take a fucking hike on their goddamn crashes and shove it up their ass.

As for the stuff at the convention, I think it's part of me growing up or some other things, or just not being into the recent anime (I should really start to watch more Demon Slayer).

Or I just grew out of it. Well, I saved some money that I'll be able to use for other things.

That aside, I hope you all are ready for this chapter. The requester and I have talked about the upcoming ideas that we have. We are making this also faster. Most likely, I'll be writing the events of the volumes in one chapter.

---

We are also making a new poll about Ichika's love life.

The harem (requester wants that)

Kosaki Onodera (the girl who Ichika worked with)

Maya Yamada (some had her suggested a few times)

Ran Gotanda (up to all of you what you do)

He stays single.

A poll will come online as soon the chapter goes live.

---

Now for the guest reviews. I'll also include the replies from the ones I had last time.

Guest on chapter 33 on the 15th of January. Ichika becomes a couple with Maya. You're not the first to suggest that, and from all the ones around him, she was great towards him, although things could be rocky compared to his sister. Or maybe when the bits are over, he ends up with her. It wouldn't be a surprise, though.

The chew-out is going to happen. He didn't return because of them but to keep his friend safe.

Matsu is on chapter 16 on the 15th of January. I haven't heard that name in a while. The song does fit in damn well, though; that band makes good points.

I think you are talking about chapter 33, where he must return to the ISA. We all have to dream, and some have more realistic dreams.

Guest 01 on chapter 33 on the 21st of January. Yep, that twisted form of love is what brought Karasuba back. The Black Sekirei doesn't like them much, and why should she? They are indeed horrible.

The idea of Maya hooking up; They're not that far apart, and I can live with that idea. But this isn't just my fic. Although if I'd go the further route, I can't go there. Plus, Maya likes living, and pissing off Chifuyu ain't a good idea.

Guest on chapter 33 on the 26th of January. Redemption is a long and painful road to travel. One that strong and proud women like them hate to travel. And even so, Ichika wouldn't think of getting easy on them.

OniTenshi500 on chapter 34 on the 27th of January... Thank you for keeping that in mind. I hope that you are going to review this upcoming chapter.

That is a valid good question and point I should write out in this chapter. They would get out of it eventually (women get 1/3 of the sentence of a man). As for Tabane, she is the one who pointed the girls in Minato's direction. I don't think she minds if they die.

It's what it is.

Guest on chapter 34 on the 31st of January. Unfortunately, the votes had been cast. So we had 16 for the full chapters instead of emails. I can assure you that it shouldn't take me that long, but the chapters can turn huge during this writing.

It would be a nice change, but it won't happen. I'd like to see what you think of this upcoming poll. About those words, though, I have added them to this chapter.

Charlotte might be the one, but she messed up pretty badly, so I don't think Ichika would consider her again.

Guest on chapter 32 on the 3rd of March. Nice line. They got their asses handed to them.

Standing alone in the wind and rain

Feeling the fear that is growing

Sensing the change in the tide again

Caught by the storm that is brewing

Ichika was glad that Miya held back the girls so he could go home.

He couldn't bear to tell Kosaki the lies of the last months. Tears threatened to spill down his cheeks, and he felt a lump growing in his throat.

Was it so bad that he WISHED for a simpler life? An easier life.

Taking care of the store with Kosaki, them cooking while Haru was around, maybe a couple of children.

No, easy went out of the way when he got his hands on that damned machine.

But there was something that he had to do before he got back to the Inn.

Landing at the house of Minato, he found the group of Sekirei who looked over at their younger brother. When he deactivated the unit, Kusano ran right to him and hugged him around the legs.

Yukari and Shiina hadn't gone home either, as they wanted to know how it ended with him and Karasuba.

"Big brother Ichika. Did you win?"

Ichika didn't trust his voice, so he nodded to Kusano. His eyes signaled to Minato to collect Kusano as he was about to lose a few tears if he kept the small hands on his legs.

"What happened, Ichika?"

The Sekirei were quiet as Ichika looked over at Minato. Then, without a word, Minato handed Kusano to Musubi while he pulled Ichika into a tight hug.

The Knight became a child again as he quietly sobbed into his older brother's shoulder while the Ashikabi comforted him by stroking over the back of Ichika. The Sekirei kept their distance from Ichika as he tried to collect himself.

Yukari joined the two while she got a sideways hug from Ichika as they tried to comfort Ichika.

She also stroked his back as she found the sight so heartbreaking.

"I have to go back." His whisper was so silent that it was barely audible, but he might have shouted over the front yard for the Sekirei.

"Back where?" Musubi asked as she didn't understand what Ichika was saying as she thought about it.

They had won the fight but lost the war.

The smarter ones had already figured out what he was talking about.

"No." Minato pulled him by the shoulders and shook him.

"Ichika, are you out of your mind? After you have been through, you can not." Yukari shouted to him while Minato waited until he talked.

"I stay here, and I put you all in danger. I will put your babies in danger. I'll put your wives in danger. If I am here, and I do something to your girls, you'll hate me for it."

It was the most illogical way of thinking, but Ichika spoke the words that Minato knew were true.

He loved Ichika dearly as a good friend, like a little brother.

"Miya talked about it. If I stay here, I'll put you in danger. So I have to go back. It's why I came here." The Sekirei got closer.

"To say goodbye."

It was safe to say that no one could keep their cheeks dry as each Sekirei hugged and comforted Ichika.

There was no stopping him either. When they heard Ichika's reasoning, there was no bringing anything up that would stop him.

He was also right, so the girls comforted him with that.

"I'll be back," Ichika said as they looked at each other.

Minato looked into Ichika's eyes for the last time.

"And when you do, we'll be here waiting. You can always come home, Ichika." With that said, Ichika took off and flew back to the Inn.

The Knight had a debt to the Ashikabi, and he was slowly beginning to pay him back.

It wasn't a pleasant situation either.

But Ichika was right. Minato had his Sekirei and Chiho and their unborn children to consider. And that was something they would thank Ichika for.

Ichika was not happy with how things had turned out. He had hoped he could stay behind longer in the city, but there was no stopping that.

Every girl who had wanted to ask where he went got one death glare their way, making their souls shiver when their eyes landed on them.

The good news was that he had gotten a single dorm. It should have been like that since the start. If the last months had proven anything, Ichika could handle himself just fine.

He had left the school in late September, and December was approaching. Hard to believe that it had been that long since he left the school.

Time flew by when you had fun.

Of course, that didn't mean the girls got off easy at the school. While Minato wished they would keep quiet, the news now hit that the girls had been after him.

It didn't take long before the media realized there was an excellent reason. Minato thanked his lucky stars that Takami took care of the vultures, and Matsu covered up as much as well as they could.

But that didn't hide the fact that Minato had a pregnant harem. Luckily, the photos of Kusano showed that she was not among them.

Female superiority groups were livid at the show, while Minato was called many other names. However, Ichika guessed that he didn't care much about it. The Ashikabi had left morality a long time ago.

The Sekirei were happy, Chiho was delighted, and he got his rocks off. What more would a guy want?

He hoped that his children would come soon. That way, he could have the family he wanted. Their dreams would continue forever.

Ichika looked over the paper. It appeared that this was his destination.

Kuromochi Research center.

It had been a few weeks since he was back in the ISA. Then, finally, he began to settle in the school and work things through. Ichika made no secret about why he had returned and what had happened.

Most girls' admiration for the Personal Pilots dried up faster than the Sahara desert.

Ichika kept to himself for most of his time. In class, he was polite but distant. After that, he was often working out or study.

A pair of headphones also cut out most of what he said to him. It was one of the things that he bought when he was free.

Often, Ichika thought back to the times in Shinto Teito. But he understood how it was.

It was part of him growing up and being the protector instead of the protected. If he were in Shinto Teito, it would be dangerous to Minato and his unborn children.

He would paint a target on their back that they couldn't avoid. So that was why Ichika went back to his own personal hell.

There was much in his head, but he knew there wasn't much he could change about it.

Ichika did make it very damn clear that he would no longer take their crap.

As soon he sat on the train home, those were the first things out of his mouth.

"I hate you. All of you. I came back to protect Minato. Not to be around you."

It had been quiet those days as Ichika kept his distance from all of them.

The girls chalked it up to the fact that Ichika had been away from them for so long.

Chifuyu had tried to give him a mountain of homework he had to finish. It was the last thing Ichika wanted, so he kept it down.

For some reason or another, he had to visit this machinery. It was far from the school; maybe, that was just what he needed.

As soon he opened the door, he found the place completely deserted. It was also pretty dark.

"Anyone home?"

Before Ichika could hear more, he heard the laughter that reminded him of Tabane.

"Hey there, pretty boy. Wanna go to my room and have some fun?"

A hand went right onto his ass, and usually, Ichika would have jumped up from that. But not this time. He spun around and grabbed the hand up to pin the woman who had done so.

The woman (and what a woman she was) had been wearing something similar to an Infinite Stratos suit. She had some goggles on, and above the suit, she had a lab coat on. The skin-tight outfit showed those large buns, and from the facial expression, the woman had not expected that reply.

Her turquoise hair was short and hung in twin tails over her head.

"You really want that? Because believe me, I am more than pissed off enough to make this not a fun trip." Ichika could look her over, and there was no denying that this lady in front of him had one banging body. And well, if there was one thing that Ichika Orimura would say about his body, it was frustrated.

And well, while he couldn't put his hands on the girls, there was no denying that he could do that just fine for those girls.

The woman hadn't expected such a reply from Ichika nor his violent reaction. Yet, from his dark brown eyes, she could read the frustration and anger that Ichika possessed.

"So yes or no, on your offer?" The woman gulped and could see a wet spot, but she knew damn well that there would be heavy consequences for banging Chifuyu's little brother.

"No, sorry, pall. I'm here to check on your IS. I'm Kagaribi Hikaruno. The head of this lab." Ichika couldn't believe this. The ISA had to get foreign interest to sort out the damned mess.

His Byakushiki had been activated while the woman looked her over. Even though she was a massive pervert, Hikaruno knew her job.

"Damn, son. What did you do with this unit? It's pretty banged up." Ichika sighed when he heard that.

"I fought a Sekirei with it." Don't get to complain when it's like this." Ichika replied, which earned him a whistle. Hikaruno didn't even bother to be surprised.

"Do you mind if we do the maintenance here? It'll be faster." Ichika shook his head when he looked back at her.

"Not at all. In the meantime, do you mind if I borrow a computer? I'm going to write to a friend outside the school." Ichika asked the woman, who raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, who?"

"Minato Sahashi. I think he'll be busy. So that is why I do it now. He can take his sweet time to reply." Hikaruno didn't even look remotely surprised. But, of course, the school (and every member of the faculty, if not the entire IS world) knew that Minato Sahashi and Ichika Orimura were friends.

"Sure. But if you are bored here, you can go fishing. There is plenty to catch." The Knight shrugged as he sat down. Then, cracking his knuckles, he began to type his email.

[Hello, brother, how have you been?]

Scene skip

While the girls had been missing Ichika during this, they had a long way to go before he considered them anything but annoying.

For now, they had a mission they could focus on.

The school had gone into lockdown, and Chifuyu summoned them to the underground block.

Before them, they could see the mechanical monster.

Houki, Cecilia, Rin, Airis, Charlotte, and Laura stood before six beds connected to a system.

Upstairs, Chifuyu talked to them as they looked at her. Maya and Kanzashi were also sitting back over the screens.

"Let me explain the situation. At this moment, all of our systems are down. In other words, we're being hacked!"

Maya continued with reassuring information for a bit, but the rest of her lines weren't great for them.

"None of the students have been harmed yet, but we have to regain control of the system, no matter what! You'll need to dive into the system's virtual reality via the IS Core Network."

"Dive into the system?" Cecilia was astonished by the news.

"Is that…" Rin shared a look with her while Laura crossed her arms.

"So we'll have to bypass the IS Pilot nervous system protection and infiltrate the network ourselves as virtual?"

Charlotte gulped when she heard this information.

"I know this is theoretically possible, but."

It wouldn't be easy or comfortable. But they had ordered. Plus, with their recent track record, they couldn't afford to slip up.

Chifuyu clapped her hands to get attention.

"All personal; stand by! The mission will commence now!"

The girls replied.

"Roger!" Even Airis and Djbril followed Chifuyu's orders while the attention of the Brunhilde shifted to the youngest Sarashiki.

"Provide external backup, Sarashiki Kanzashi!"

"Yes."

The girls changed into suits while they prepared for the trip. Then, when they lay down, the machine took the girls in.

Before them, they could see a timer going down while the voice of Kanzashi went over them.

"We will now connect you six to the virtual reality. Please head to the system's core and reboot it. Get ready."

When the timer hit zero, they were transported inwards

Maya and Kanzashi looked over the stable systems while Chifuyu addressed Tatenashi and Djbril.

"Now then… I have another task for you two."

The Knight had a sword on her hip, while Tatenashi had her arms crossed.

"Your orders?"

"We're going to have unexpected visitors. And with the girls out here, there is no defense."

Djbril put a firm hand on her chest while it bounced.

"Leave it to us; we'll intercept them." Tatenashi nodded to Chifuyu while the Brunhilde kept looking at the screens.

"That's good to hear. Good luck with that."

Meanwhile, in the virtual world, the girls had gathered in something that appeared to be the starry sky of space.

Before them, six doors appeared while they stood back.

"What is this? Are we supposed to go in?" Rin wondered aloud.

"Most likely. The signal's unstable. You'll be on your own in there. Be prepared."

When Kanzashi was done talking, Houki replied.

"Roger that." The screen closed while they went through the doors. But as soon as they had passed it, a neutral voice said this.

"World Purge. Commence." This game had just started.

Miya Asama did not like the task she had received from Ichika but couldn't refuse the request. It was better for him to stay in the ISA.

She went to the school to explain why Nagisa Korida had been written out. The teacher, a bear of a man, Narumi Saiga, was taken aback by hearing the news. It appeared that Ichika had a particular effect on the man.

Ichika could do that, but at least he handled the news as an adult. A man who knew what real life was.

She landed up at the Onodera sweet shop. The Pillar knocked two times on the door before sliding it open. She found a girl working with an older lady behind the counter. Too many resemblances that showed this lady was her mother.

"Good afternoon, miss. What can I do for you?" The lady asked while Miya sighed. But, unfortunately, this wouldn't be a fun trip.

"Good afternoon. I'm here on behalf of a boy you might know as Nagisa Korida." When she said the name, the girl jumped up.

"Korida? I haven't seen him the last few days at school. Is everything all right with him?"

Miya realized this was the girl that Ichika talked about. From the looks of it, she would have been an excellent choice. But, alas, it couldn't be.

"Korida isn't scheduled to work tomorrow. Why? Is something wrong?"

Miya took a deep breath before she spoke again.

"The boy you knew as Nagisa Korida was actually a runaway. His real name is Ichika Orimura. I take that name might ring a bell." Kosaki's hands went before her mouth while her mother's mouth dropped open.

Out from the back came two other figures: the father and younger sister.

"You mean to tell me that I employed the male Infinite Stratos Pilot? What would he even be doing here? I mean, I found it weird that he was friends with Minato Sahashi."

Miya felt horrible to do this, but with what she had asked, it was only suitable to carry this burden.

"Yes. Young Ichika and Minato Sahashi are friends. And due to circumstances, Ichika has to cut his life short here and return home. He asked me to go around and ask the ones in contact with him to let them know. I'm sorry to bring such news."

Kosaki couldn't hold back the tears as she ran upstairs. Haru was about to follow her, but her father restrained her. Then, shaking his head, he knew Kosaki wanted to be alone.

Haru looked over to her mum and wrapped her arms around her while she gave small sobs. Despite her harsh words, she had become attached to Nagisa as well. Or Ichika.

"I take there is no way to contact him again?" Nanako asked, despite knowing the answer. She hoped there was one way she could find to message Ichika.

"Unfortunately, for his safety and yours, it is better if you don't. Do know that Ichika didn't like this and that he had hoped to stay."

Tatsuya sighed when the news came crashing in.

"This sucks. Thank you for letting us know." Sharing a look with his wife, they would close the shop today.

As parents, they had to comfort two broken hearts. And as Nanako looked after Haru, it came down to ensure Kosaki was fine.

Miya let herself out quietly.

'I hope that this is for the better.' With that done, she walked away from the eatery.

Scene skip

When Ichika was done with his email, he got outside and sat back while he was fishing. Since the beach trip, he had been able to do so.

So far, he got quite a few, but it made his head quiet while thinking back to the days at Shinto Teito and what he wouldn't want to give to be around Minato.

Not that it was easy for his older brother, either. While there was no doubt that Minato had actively enjoyed the lovemaking with his Sekirei, it turned out that seven pregnant women were quite a handful.

He had several issues, and caring for them took most of his energy. It was good that he had married aliens (Chiho didn't count) who could take up with it but didn't go overboard during that.

Ichika had learned of horror stories of that. But then, his mind went to the girls. Their relationship was weird, but it could work.

When the reel pulled, Ichika got another fish in the bucket.

"What's a man to do?" Ichika muttered while he sat back and heard the voice of the scientist.

"Talking like an old man, Ichika? I had hoped better of you." Ichika looked over at her while she had also been in the water.

Pulling herself out, Ichika tried his best to ignore the sexy bits. Damn, since when had he been this frustrated?

It didn't help that Hikaruno had an excellent set of tits.

"Have you heard of the IS Core Network?" While her chest was out there, Ichika couldn't help but look longer at the goods.

His eyes focused on hers, and he began thinking of it.

"That does ring a bell. Based on the communications protocol that they use for space missions. But they have managed to turn into a virtual reality where they can connect every IS to another, right?"

Hikaruno nodded as she was impressed by his knowledge.

They started to fry the fish as Ichika listened to her talk.

"It's how your Byakushiki gets data from others like your older sister's Kurazakura." Ichika knew about that and how far he was from his older sister.

"What it also shares is its One off ability. It can also replicate Shirokishi's abilities." There were always new things that Ichika learned from this life.

"My job is to augment IS units that gain new abilities and such. Your Byakushiki is a boon for us on that regard."

'Looks like that damned thing is good for something.'

"Glad that you like it. Now, about that offer?"

Ichika's eyes showed his lust and willingness to take this lady right here.

Hikaruno sighed, regretting opening her mouth.

"Sorry, Orimura-kun. I was pulling your leg. If I do that, your older sister would have my head. And you'd be in big trouble."

Ichika shrugged when he heard that news.

"Doubtful. My sister wasted a ton of goodwill on me. But fine, if you insist, we don't."

Taking up the fish that had been grilled, Ichika began to eat his fish. Hunger was a suitable replacement for sex.

[Tommy Vext. Crawling.]

Rin woke up in class. It appeared that school had been out for a few hours already. The sun had begun to set while she had slept through it.

She stirred and felt her body shift. On the board, it was written down who had to do cleaning duty.

Herself and Ichika. Most likely, he would be done by now.

"What's going on?" She checked her clothes that were on.

"This is my middle school uniform!" Immediately, memories came through, consuming and confusing her as she remembered the days before. Simpler days. Easier days.

When she pulled down her sleeve, her Shen Long was missing.

"This is definitely a trap."

But those thoughts flew out the window as soon as Ichika entered. The guy entered the room with a smile, friendlier than she had seen in months.

"Yo, Rin."

The shock blew her away when she saw him.

"I-Ichika?" Without a hint of reservation, Ichika sat down right next to her. The school was quiet as they were the last ones inside.

"What is it?" There was a certain shyness inside of Rin when she felt Ichika so close to her.

"Can I come over to your house? You know. Since we're dating an all." That took her by surprise—the blush quickly covered her face.

She looked down at the desk and mumbled a quiet "yeah."

Unfortunately, the two middle school students didn't keep the weather in mind.

A quick downpour surprised them as they ran home, hoping to escape the rain immediately.

Despite their hurry to the restaurant, they were soaked to the bone. Despite using her backpack as protection, it didn't stop anything.

"The forecast said nothing about the weather. This was too sudden!"

"For real!" Rin began to dry herself off while she felt the cold rain clinging to her skin.

"I'm soaked to the bone." Before she could continue, a soft towel landed on her hair while Ichika began to take care of her.

"Let me dry you off." The soft ministrations were taken in gentle gratitude.

"Huh? Oh… Thanks." It remained quiet for a bit while Ichika took care of his girlfriend.

Rin just enjoyed his strong hands on her hair.

"Hey, Rin. I'll get the rest of your body." The blush came back with a vengeance.

The squeak came out of her mouth faster than she would have guessed.

"You idiot!" Throwing the towel on his forehead, Rin just shouted back while Ichika looked puzzled until a chuckle of a darker nature came out of his mouth.

Rin hid behind a wall.

"I guess it's okay for now." Collecting herself only as she worked until she heard the voice of Ichika.

"Want to take a shower together?" Her eyes nearly popped out of her sockets.

"You perv!" Running up to her room, hiding away while she tried to collect herself from the events that transpired. What was going through his head? What was going through hers?

After a few deep breaths, she was ready again.

"If I stay in these clothes, I catch a cold. I need to change."

Rin could never explain why she started with the panties, but it was the clothes she took off first, but before she was done, the door slid open, and with a startled scream, she could see Ichika entering.

The guy was wearing only a towel around his waist and another around his shoulders.

It showed his impressive physique, and for just a second, Rin looked at him, startled, while Ichika kept quiet as he looked at her.

"Rin, I'm done with the shower."

Keeping in the blush, she was about to scream the entire house together.

Ichika stopped by grabbing her by the arm and pulling her into a tight hug.

His breath tickled her ears, and she could smell the soap on his body and the shampoo in his hair.

Softly, he whispered something in her ears.

"I want you." That alone was enough to break dowthe n defenses of Rin. The girl just blushed while she had no idea what was going on.

But then she agreed to it and, while embarrassed, agreed.

Gently, Ichika placed her on the bed while he hung over her. He was so strong, so driven. There was no stopping him.

Still, he could see her open body with her panties around her legs.

Looking down at her body, Ichika admired the body.

His right hand slipped down her neck while she tensed up.

"Rin, you're so pretty." His hands slipped down to her T-shirt, and slowly, he unbuttoned them one by one. Her breath hitched as he pulled open the shirt to reveal the chest while he smiled.

"Ichika."

"I'm not stopping now." She nodded to him while she prepared herself for what was coming.

The hallways were empty during this, and Tatenashi waited patiently for the unexpected guests. Finally, when a pop-up showed right next to her cheek, she knew what time it was.

A mischievous grin pointed her mouth ends upwards.

"Showtime."

Smoke that came through the hallway was the infiltration team's start.

Typically, a girl dressed in a swimsuit wasn't a match for a few soldiers with fully automatic assault rifles. But this wasn't an ordinary girl.

"Didn't take you too long to show up." Opening her flier, she smiled back at the troops.

"Do you keep watch over us, 24/7?" Bullets from the M27 IAR rifles just answered it. The AIC stopped the hot lead flying in her direction.

"Too bad for you. Boom goes the dynamite." Clicking her fingers caused the entire hallway to go up in smoke.

It didn't kill her foes, but their protection suits were burned off them.

"So, gentlemen, how did you like my Clear Passion? I really like that stuff."

Like a wolf finding a pack of rabbits, Tatenashi showed her teeth. But she wasn't the only one who would go out on a hunt.

Chifuyu dressed herself up in a fighting outfit. It was like the modern version of a samurai that allowed her vital parts to be protected while offering relatively much mobility. Armed with over six katanas, the Brunhilde would defend her school.

For once, her ponytail was tied higher, like Houki usually did.

"It's been too long since I wore my hair like this." The words of Miya were forced into the back of her mind.

She wasn't weak and would show the woman she could protect the school and her little brother.

She couldn't fault him for the hate Ichika carried for her. Her own damned fault and pride got Ichika out of her grasp. She had no idea how she would ever find a way to make up for it.

This fight would prove to be the distraction that she so desperately needed. It wouldn't do if she just sat back.

"Let's see what I still can do." And with that, Chifuyu took off to the battlefield.

Scene skip

Cecilia Alcott continued her business in a large house away from prying eyes. After she graduated from the ISA, she began to work as a representative.

Cecilia hadn't changed much over the years, but her bow had been white, unlike before. And her change of clothes was much more formal.

"I understand. If that is the case, it would be necessary that the groups have more contact with each other more frequently." She had been speaking to men, and her attitude hadn't changed much.

"I am terribly sorry. I shall report to you at a later date. Good day to you."

The screens closed down, and she sighed. Things never were easy for her.

But when she rang the bell, she waited for the person to enter. Her cheeks colored while her eyes were focused on the door. Like a child, she waited for the man to appear in her room.

"You rang me for, ma'am." With a slight bow, the butler walked through the door while closing the door. It was a part of Japanese society that couldn't be hammered out.

Cecilia's Pout has been shown the childlike side that she carries.

"You know what to call me when we are alone?" It was a part of the teasing that Ichika managed to do when he was serving her.

There was a slight chuckle that escaped him.

"I'm sorry, Cecilia." Then, Cecilia began to think back.

'The Orimura family has been serving the Alcott family for generations, so we've been togethce forever!'

The picture on her desk, with a red-haired maid, switched to Ichika.

Her mind began to waver when she began to think things over.

'It's so perfect. Like I'm in another world. I want this last forever. Forever and ever.'

The bathroom was just like the rest of the house. Large and luxurious with rose petals inside while the hot water filled the tub.

She had stripped naked and was ready to take off her underwear. Soaking in hot water, Cecilia relaxed and looked forward to this. Having Ichika's hands over her body would be awesome as he would wash her.

She loved the special treatment that she got from him.

She heard Ichika calling her out from behind when her body was soaked.

"Cecilia, can I come in?" Startled, his mistress recomposed herself from the surprise.

"All right. Please do."

The butler switched onto undergarments that resembled a full-bodied swimsuit.

Cecilia got out of the water when Ichika walked in. Asides from soap, he brought a suave demeanor.

"I'll start on the top. Is that fine?" The shy nod was enough for him to continue on the ministrations. His soft, big hands began to tease over them while Cecilia couldn't help but let a small moan escape as she enjoyed the ministrations.

When his hands traveled south, his smile became a bit lewder.

"Cecilia, did your butt get just a little bit bigger?" Cecilia wanted to fight back, but in her vulnerable state, she couldn't do so.

"That is not true." When his hands squeezed a bit harder, she became undone in his hands. Putty where he could do with as he pleased.

"Your body became so lewd. My lewd Cecilia." He decided to bump it up a notch by softly biting into Cecilia's ears. She fell back into his arms while Ichika continued to tease her.

"Ichika-san?"

"Shall I move to your front side?" The shy nod just hid how much she wanted this.

Djbril Emulail waited for her foes to appear somewhere more profound in the school. But her sword was out of the sheath, and the patience was there.

Just like Tatenashi, she got the notification. Usually, this Knight would give her foes a chance to fight back and show some mercy, but given the danger that her mistress was in.

There was no falling back from her duty. She would stop those fighters in their tracks. When she heard the bombs going off, it showed her that Tatenashi had already started.

When Djbril opened her eyes, she began to walk toward the ones with their assault rifles.

The men leveled their guns at her, which the proud Knight scoffed.

"Too bad for you. It's time to protect my mistress." Then, using supernatural speed, Djbril charged at the fighters.

While it was more common sense not to bring a knife to a gunfight, Djbril proved them wrong as her abilities of Infinite Stratos Pilot translated very well to fighting with a sword.

She didn't think of playing it easy on those foes. When the deadly hail of lead got avoided, she got close and cut through the first assailant.

She danced through the bullets and fought with the grace she used to.

Her sword found its mark, and she avoided the shots while enjoying the combat thrill. The fighters fell while she took care of her fight.

Djbril would say she was working a system if she were a bit looser. One that she so desperately needed.

Her pain was going away while she felt her mind healing.

This was a place where she belonged.

Charlotte Dunois had seen a rough time, but it was well spent when she began to clean the windows around the mansion.

It just proved her skills as a maid who could handle herself well. She hummed a tune while she worked, and her delicious body moved along.

For one special person, this proved to be too alluring to ignore. So when she was done, she moved away the sweat but found that her skirt got lifted by the broom she had left below.

"Hey."

Her blushing and stammering made her so damn adorable.

Ichika opened his eyes while he looked her over.

"You're wearing some naughty underwear again, Charlotte." The tease got the blushing even worse.

"That's because you ordered me to, master." The man just smiled.

"In a week, I'll be your husband. Not your master." He was the savior that Charlotte had so desperately prayed for, and despite the massive damage it caused, it protected Charlotte.

"Well, I'm your maid now," Charlotte replied as Ichika began to think about it.

"Well, in that case, are your master's orders absolute?"

When the reply came back, "Yes, of course," Ichika swept the girls off her feet, which caused Charlotte to be swept off her feet, which caused her to look at him in delight.

"I caught myself a cute maid."

The delightful sigh made her happy as she couldn't help but enjoy the feeling.

Gently, Ichika put her on the bed. Charlotte had hoped he would take her right then and there, but the woman felt something landing next to her.

"This is…" There was delight in her voice when she witnessed the wedding dress.

"Yes, please try it on." Charlotte nodded to the question.

"Of course." Turning her back, she saw the clothes that Ichika had given her.

"I have to do my best. When we are married, we are going to do this every night." That news made Ichika very happy when he heard that.

"We can do it every night?" Then, with a deer-in-the-headlights look, she turned back to him.

"Did I say that out loud?" Charlotte got even more embarrassed by that revelation.

"Yes, and I'm going to keep you on that." Ichika just smiled when Charlotte looked away, while Ichika continued to chuckle.

For Minato Sahashi, life went on after his best friend made a sacrifice that was too much to ask from him.

But it was Ichika's choice to go back to the ISA. It would be too dangerous to be around Shinto Teito.

That was the hardest truth and a bitter pill that Minato had to swallow. It sucked that it was now like this.

The fact they had the chance to say goodbye was a blessing. But, it also weighed the Sekirei as they were hurt to see their little brother leave their home.

They all tried to find ways to make the hurt sting less. Or to prevent their sadness took over.

As a family, they managed to get around it by caring for each other.

As the man of the house, Minato ensured they had comfort food lying around when the Sekirei felt like eating.

There wasn't as heavy training on doctor's (and mothers) orders as they used to be. Not that it stopped the Sekirei from focusing on other things.

It was past the 15th of November. It would be soon when their children were born, and they had to outfit the house to welcome their offspring.

One late evening, the Sekirei had been talking after a long day of shopping for baby clothes and cribs. Finally, they had come home, tired but satisfied.

Minato sat behind a laptop while he was clicking around the internet. Musubi had a sleeping Kusano on her lap while Chiho had settled for Kazehana's. Uzume used her Ashikabi's legs for the pillow.

Matsu lay on the couches as she didn't feel too good.

Chiho and Matsu were taking the physical changes the hardest, which is why the Flock had been extra kind to them.

Tsukiumi and Kagari were conversing softly so as not to wake the sleepers. However, it wouldn't take long before they all moved to the bed.

A good night of rest was something that everyone craved.

Minato sat behind a pc, checking his emails before they went to sleep. It could get touchy when they had more to look forward to.

It was enough to make the dead come to life when he spoke the words.

"Girls, I got Ichika's mail here. Do you want me to read it?"

They scrambled around the table, and even Kusano woke up from it.

"Minato, please." Musubi asked.

"My dearest husband, continue." Tsukiumi followed up.

"I can't wait to hear from him" Matsu woke up from her slumber.

"I want to hear about big brother Ichika," Kusano said what they all wanted in her own words.

"Don't keep us in suspense," Kazehana said.

"I agree. This is good." Uzume replied.

"Well, what did he send?" Kagari asked.

"If we all get quiet, our husband can read it." So Chiho got the Flock quiet, earning her a kiss while Minato began to read.

Dear Minato,

Do my regards to Musubi, Kazehana, Uzume, Kagari, Matsu, Chiho, Kusano, Tsukiumi, Miss Miya, and dear Takehito.

I am glad that I could say goodbye, big brother. But we both knew it was best. It ended like this.

I'm back at school. Unlike before, the girls keep their distance. If I didn't know any better, I'd say they are ashamed of their actions, but that would mean a miracle happened.

Those only happen in Europe, far as I know. But that's neither here nor there.

The girls chuckled when they heard that.

So far, I am alone, feared, and beyond angry.

Gotta get my machine chec up. Not much news from now, but my gut tells me things will go south.

I'll write to you another time, big brother. Tell the Sekirei that I miss them all and want to see you all really again soon.

Love, Ichika.

Minato chuckled when he read that.

"He's fine. I think we can all need some rest. To bed, ladies."

Bedtime had become the most popular event for all Sekirei. Finally, finally, they could sleep with their Ashikabi in the clothes they wanted, having been something they had looked forward to ever since moving out of the Inn.

Airis Luxembourg found herself sitting back on her throne. She had finally come home from her long training in Japan.

The years throughout that place were dreadful.

As the youngest sibling, the chance she would take the throne was laughable. But that didn't mean she would have to spend her life in the shadows.

She had found herself a great man she had taken back along, with the many servants ahead for the years of study.

But that wasn't the most important thing that happened during those years.

No, what she found in the ISA, so far away from friends and relations, was the first male Pilot.

Ichika Orimura. And like many other women, they all wanted the most exquisite taste of men walking around the globe.

And when she, Airis Twilight Luxembourg, had claimed him as her own. The man had been drilled into being her servant.

But he was more than that. Oh, so much more.

The man that had been the one that had resisted her. He had been the one she had managed to defeat and beat into her servant.

But he was more than that. Thanks to her persuasion of Chifuyu Orimura, he was sent home with her.

It just showed the superiority of her fighting skills.

Dozens of adoring fans had landed to see their princess returning. Walking next to her was, of course, Djbril Emulail.

It had taken all those years for her Knight to share her place, but Airis had managed to do so without an issue.

"I have to say, they are quite happy to see you again. Mistress." Ichika spoke for her while Airis basked in the glory.

The princess smiled at him.

"Of course they are. They are now to see me." It was just how the peasants had to show their admiration toward Airis.

Luckily for her, it didn't take long to go through the airport. When they got into the limousine, the man sat down with Airis, who smiled and grinned at him.

"So, what do you think of your new home?"

"Thank you for taking me from Japan, mistress," Ichika admitted while he looked at her in nothing but slavery.

"You're welcome. Now, let's go home. Tomorrow, I'll introduce you to my siblings."

Then Ichika noticed that they were alone in the limo. Not even Djbril had been around.

"Mistress, where are we going?"

A delightful giggle escaped Airis mouth. Now, they were finally home. The last pieces of Ichika's new life were about to begin.

But there was one more thing that had to happen before that.

Scene skip

Tatenashi showed off the moves drilled into her from a young age. Flipping through the sky while the bullets came her way, she did a fantastic job of pissing off the soldiers she had in front of her.

Those soldiers didn't seem to like keeping others in the fight in mind. Her fighting abilities did short work of the fighters she had in front of her. She jumped and kicked around the place and enjoyed the thrill of the fight.

With elegance, Tatenashi danced through the soldiers while punching and kicking the floor from under them.

It was clear that Tatenashi never skipped leg day.

With a last vicious chop, she took down the previous foe.

"You guys are so inelegant." Lamenting the way how they fought just showed how better she was.

But she wasn't the only one who had some fun.

Djbril thanked that her IS didn't have that much damage as the subtle effects caused her to go faster and better against her foes. Her speed when her sword slashed through the heavy clothing showed what she could do.

"You fools have no idea who you are facing." The sword didn't just find bodies to cut but also weapons.

The guns came apart in their hands.

One pilot made her way through the dark hallways, but in her path, she only found one person.

Unfortunately for her, it wasn't just anyone that stopped her. The woman herself realized that when she saw Chifuyu standing.

"Have at you!" Then, moving at her faster than most humans, Chifuyu slashed her sword at the machine. It blew away the device, and she still stood despite the force.

In all her glory, Chifuyu Orimura stood, ready for the fight.

"The Brunhilde?"

For Chifuyu, this was one worthy foe.

"What's wrong? Don't just idle. The one before you is the first Brunhilde." Raising her sword, Chifuyu stood ready.

"Come at me with everything you got, Soldier." There was no delaying the fight for Chifuyu, who had been looking forwardtor a challenge.

Scene skip

Laura Bodewig had her own dream. One that had been developed a few years in. When she returned home from Germany, she had gotten promoted.

With the blessing of Chifuyu Orimura, Ichika became her wife. His excellent skills in the kitchen and around the house made him exceptionally suited for that.

Children hadn't been on the mind, but they were more than welcome if they came.

"Laura!" The sound of her wife got her out of thinking.

"It's done!" The man came over with a plate of omelet rice. The soldier had developed a taste for it during her stay in Japan.

Some might call the heart on the rice a bit tacky, but it always got Laura going.

"Sorry for making you do this all the time." The reaction was a bit adorable, and she smiled at it.

You're the perfect wife." Before she could say anything else, Ichika knew what day it was.

"You have the day off. In that case, I'd like to use one of these." It was a Laura card that the Germans used for favors Ichika. Throughout the years, he had gotten quite a collection of those.

"That, that is?" Ichika knew he had her right under his thumb.

With a chuckle, Laura was now trying to relax.

"Wh-What do you plan on asking me to do?" Despite her voice, she tried to 'calmly' drink her coffee.

Thinking about it, Ichika wondered what would be suited for this event.

"Let's see. I want to see you in a naked apron." However, drinking (or the pathetic attempt at it) wasn't the best choice for Laura as, when she heard that, it took her entirely by surprise.

"You fool!" She disapproved when the much-needed oxygen found its way into her system.

"Who in their right mind would do anything perverted like-"

He cut Laura off her rant with a forehead kiss and got her to play along. The blush got all over her face.

"Pretty please, Laura?" That was enough to get her along.

"F-Fine." He had to wait until Ichika saw the girl coming out of the changing room.

"Are you happy now?" The reaction got enough out of him to watch all over the body.

The apron did nothing to hide her body, but the blush did enough to blow him away.

"Laura, you're adorable."

That did it for her as she broke down.

"Oh, shut up, shut up!"

Scene skip

Tatenashi watched the soldiers on the ground as she enjoyed the workout.

"Is this all of them?" She witnessed the fighters.

"Not a clue who they are, though. But they are later here than the breach. " Musing over those thoughts wasn't good for her, though.

"Why wasn't it simultaneous?" A thought came through her mind when she took another route.

"Are the hackers a different party?"

She had to do a better job of checking out her foes as one got up.

Pulling out his SIG Sauer P226, the guy fired the bullets. Then, with no active AIC, they got through her swimsuit like tissue paper.

Falling, she clutched her stomach.

Luckily, she thought of a distress signal. While Kanzashi couldn't help her, Djbril was also done fighting. So the Knight came rushing through when she heard the call of Tatenashi.

The oldest Sarashiki got transported as their foes carried her along as she got unconscious. Unfortunately for them, Djbril got in their way. The enormous red spot showed precisely what had happened to her.

"You bastards. Let her go!" With their hands full, it didn't take long for them to be cut down. But luckily for Tatenashi, she got captured by Djbril.

"Miss Sarashiki." Djbril quickly got on her feet and followed when she realized her partner was wounded.

The blood came spilling out while Djbril pushed on the wounds. But when Kanzashi found the errors, she began to bring them through.

"Oh, just great." With that done, Djbril got a call from Kanzashi.

"What?"

"Djbril, what happened to my big sis? What is going on?" The computer girl began to talk while the Knight grunted.

"Your sis got hurt. Call Orimura. He might be the only one that can help us." Djbril might be led by emotion, but she knew damn well when she was outmatched. They would need his help.

And Ichika was the only one who could turn this around.

And where was Ichika during all this? Enjoying a nice cup of coffee in the lab, he just took his sweet time until he got a call from Kanzashi.

Reluctantly, Ichika took the call while Kagaribi kept working on his machine.

"Yes?"

[Ichika, you need to get back to the main facility. We're in deep trouble.] Kanzashi called in while Ichika grumbled.

"What is going on?"

[No time to explain. Get over the underground facility! I'll send you the coordinates.]

With that call closed, Ichika hopped into Byakushiki and closed it down.

"You gotta get out?" Kagaribi teased the young man who had just closed it down.

"I'll activate it when I'm outside. Thanks for the help. But I am afraid some fools can't do their own work."

She sighed when Ichika got out of the lab, and with a wink, he took off. But, unfortunately, Chifuyu did a number on him: his physique and mind.

"If only I were your age." She wouldn't even doubt grabbing this guy's butt; Chifuyu would murder her.

"Ah, well. We can start on the next generation's mass production." Ichika had no clue what sort of ploy he had gotten into, and he didn't care.

When he flew off, he got the location of where he had to go.

Thanks to knowing the location, it hadn't taken long for him to end up at the place.

Kanzashi smiled when he entered the room.

"Good, you came."

"What's going on?" The male Pilot cut off any bullshit as he wanted to know the situation.

"The IS Academy is currently powerless due to a hacking attack. They went inside the system to fix it, but they've also been attacked and are unable to wake up."

"You want me to save them?" Kanzashi nodded.

"Ah, great. I'll do it." He got into another capsule while Kanzashi got him ready.

Inside the capsule, he lay down to see the countdown. He got transported into the World Purge when the countdown hit zero.

When Ichika opened his eyes again, he was in front of the doors as before.

[Start on the left. That is where Rin is located.]

Ichika followed the order as he got through.

In Rin's dreamworld, she felt the hands of Ichika teasing her up while her underwear was still around her thighs.

"Wait." The feeble protest was tossed asides as 'Ichika' continued his ministrations.

"No can do." He retorted while she closed her eyes and waited for the kiss.

"Ichika?" Before the scene could continue, the real Ichika smashed the door open as he looked inside.

"What the fuck?" He muttered as he witnessed the scene. This was extremely weird and creepy.

[The World Purge is recreating an ideal world for girls. This is Rin's version of you. Your ideal version.]

"You should have told me that before!"

Outside of the doors, the voice of Chloe echoed. "World Purge. Anomaly detected." For some reason, Ichika and Rin also heard it while the Ichika in front of her smirked.

"Entrance of foreign matter. Commencing removal." The voice was a mix of a woman's and his voice which was already freaky enough.

The world shifted as Rin felt her head crashing down on her.

"This hurts! What is this?!"

The eyes of his doppelganger flashed yellow, and he was ready for a fistfight. Ichika didn't entertain him, though.

The sword of Miya that hung on his hips made short work of him, and he cut through the body as it went up in the light.

Rin remained lying on her bed while Ichika just checked over her.

"Looks like you aren't wounded." She turned to face him while the guy looked outside.

The light went faster; like particles, they flew out at the five doors. Unfortunately, Rin forgot she was half undressed and covered herself with her arms while Ichika turned away.

"Kanzashi told me that it was your ideal world. What in the world is wrong with you?"

"You are the one who undressed me." Ichika facepalmed when he heard her demand.

With tears looking up at him, Rin got up.

"Put them back on."

The mouth of the man fell open.

"Come again?"

He wasn't ready to do that to Rin. Not after all the crap they had put him through and what he had just seen about her fantasy.

"You are the one who did that. So you owe it to me to pull that up."

Ichika facepalmed when he realized that.

"You can go take a hike. You are the one who fantasized about that. I'm not going to risk that."

Luckily for him, Kanzashi cut him off.

[Rin. You can return now. We don't know how else the attack might have affected you.]

"Roger." Ichika would thank Kanzashi later for the help with this.

And while dressed in her middle school uniform, Rin turned away.

"Thanks, Ichika."

She exited the system in a light while Ichika turned to Kanzashi.

"Please tell me that the others don't have the same fantasies."

[Unfortunately, yes.] Kanzashi admitted while Ichika's hand found a mark again on his face. This would be a day Ichika would remind those girls of for the rest of their lives.

"Just great." He looked over at the next door. It didn't matter what he chose; it would not be good.

"Let's just get this over with."

Scene skip

In Cecilia's dream, she had let Ichika join her bath. The man had maneuvered himself behind her while his hands caressed her chess.

"You have grown here as well." With a soft moan, Cecilia enjoyed the ministrations.

"I will have to take measurements for your new underwear." When his hands dug in further, she got even louder.

Then the real Ichika crashed through the roof as he turned to the couple.

"What the hell are you?" Ichika asked as he saw the doppelganger, and Cecilia got up.

Ichika didn't even give the guy a chance to fight back as he got closer to the fake one. Miya's training paid off as he took his foe out, and the world around Cecilia began to fall away.

Unfortunately for her, she was still naked when they were done.

At that point, Ichika acted faster and wanted to take out his jacket to throw it over her, but luckily for him, the machinery replaced the clothes.

"Ichika, you saw me naked, right?"

The man pinched his nose while he twirled around the spear.

"You are the one with the fucked-up fantasies? What was that even? Butler play? Really?" Cecilia's mouth dropped open as Kanzashi got her out of there.

"Thanks."

[I believe you appreciated that. We can't have that woman complaining about it. Two done, four to go. Good luck.]

Straightening his back, Ichika looked the doors over. But then, he had to hurry up and see what else awaited him behind those doors.

He hoped that he didn't see too much damaging stuff.

Scene skip

For Charlotte, her master had settled down in a comfortable chair while she stripped out of her maid outfit.

It fell on the floor while he admired the body of his cute maid.

The underwear was a sight to behold, and that wasn't saying anything about her.

"Ichika, you're staring too much." Then, with a lecherous chuckle, she got her attention on him.

"You're staring too much."

Taking out a rapier, he was careful not to cut her body, but her bra had to go.

The sword struggled against the bra but did make short work of it. When she collapsed on the ground, the curtains waved.

"Oh, come on, Charlotte! You have got to be kidding me." But, just like Cecilia, he didn't give his foe any time to react.

He moved faster on his foes, whose eyes flashed yellow. They reminded him of something, but he couldn't place it.

His sword cut through his foe, who again evaporated in light. And like before, they got transported before the door.

Charlotte sighed gratefully while Ichika turned away as he suspected what could happen.

"Kanzashi, please! I need to have a word with them when I am done!"

Charlotte then realized that she was still naked or, better said, half-naked.

The embarrassed scream echoed over the place while Ichika pinched his nose.

He wouldn't trust himself with any of them when this was over.

Scene skip

If there was something that Chifuyu would admit, she loved a good scrap. And after the merciless beating she received from Miya, this was just the workout she needed. It was fun to fight like this.

The swords of Chifuyu clashed against the machine while sparks came out. However, she avoided the shots that came out of the machine.

Despite her loss against Miya, Chifuyu took it in stride.

She was ready to take her defeats and put them into lessons. But instead, their blades crossed when her fights were going on while Chifuyu used her extreme power. And athleticism to go through the machine while The Brunhilde kept her opponent active.

She got around the bullets and danced, much like Djbril or Tatenashi did, but with more, way more risks to take as the guns were multi-barreled guns that rattled shots at her.

"Don't even try." The claw stopped her while Chifuyu threw a sword at her.

"That is for me to decide!"

Chifuyu's swords functioned more than just swords as thin lines came out from them, and like a cat, she jumped over her prey while the clunky machine could not stop the agile and slim huntress. Chifuyu felt her confidence grow leaps and bounds.

"You are the one relying on your absolute defense, so your reactions are delayed." Chifuyu wouldn't admit to taking a page from Laura's book.

Chifuyu pressed through on the throat, which caused her foes to make a more desperate sound.

But when the threads got burned through (they thought off everything), the pilot managed to take a breath and turn to face Chifuyu.

When she smashed into empty air, the blonde didn't know where the attack could come from.

What went up had to come down. But the Brunhilde could keep that when she kicked her foe away.

Only when she felt the exude of her power did Chifuyu realize she still had it.

Even though the fight hadn't gone in one of the parties' favor, they weren't done. In some way, they respected each other.

"Your physical abilities are to be reckoned with. But."

Chifuyu knew that they had to cut this off.

"You're not here for a match. The unregistered, unmanned unit from last semester would be closer." It would be rude to cut someone off when she was talking

Chifuyu wished they were more virtuous fighters around. Somewhere, she missed a real man to roughhouse with.

"It's done!" The fist connected with Chifuyu, and the explosion threw her away. The claws on the fists did an excellent job. Yet, something didn't add up.

"That was…"

Only then did she realize that the swords were placed around her while Chifuyu sat back with a grin.

"Obliteration Wave." The swords lit the hallway in one explosion while Chifuyu smiled as she knew she was out of danger.

Turning around, her ponytail waved in the destruction while she knew that aside from Miya, nothing could stop her.

But Chifuyu should have checked her foes.

"I'm not done yet!" So then, out of the fiery inferno, the Pilot got out of it.

Chifuyu only had a hair's breadth to prepare for the fight.

[Linkin Park. Easier to Run.]

Ichika had walked through the place. Despite the unfamiliar country, he was glad there were two ways to find his destination.

The first one was that words had been written in French and German. And that he learned throughout the year in the ISA.

And the other was the gut instincts that guided him while he walked.

For some reason, the people around him didn't realize that Ichika Orimura walked around. It made it clear that this was a simulation. Not that Ichika himself complained.

His body just looked around while he closed his eyes and let the energy fly.

When his body found a cottage that most didn't notice, he began to hear sounds that made him uncomfortable.

One was the arrogant, young voice of Airis, while the other was one of him.

Ichika didn't need or want to see an underaged girl in any compromising position, so he grabbed a flash bang (courtesy of Kanzashi), pulled one out, and threw it at that door.

When he heard the sounds, Ichika kicked the door in.

Even with his eyes closed, the instincts of a warrior (something that Miya had cultivated despite Chifuyu's tries to halt it) overtook him. Smashing through the copy of him, he found that he was lying with Airis in bed.

Given all that she had put him through, Ichika did not feel guilty for knocking her out with the butt of his sword. Instead, scooping up her petite body, easy and light to carry, Ichika destroyed the next world.

Once outside, he stood ready and let Airis be transported.

[Good work. Two more to go.]

"Thanks. Remind me that I book an appointment with a therapist."

[I know something cheaper and more cathartic than therapy sessions with a shrimp.] Kanzashi shot back while Ichika smiled up at her.

"I'm all ears." Unlike the other girls, Ichika was civil to Kanzashi. She went along with the trip as she found it more amusing than staying in school. That earned a few points in Ichika's book.

So when she talked, Ichika listened.

[Linkin Park. Got the recommendation from an old friend. How do you think I put up with all the shit of my older sister. Those men kept me going for years. And not just me, Orimura. Millions]

"What are they?"

[Band. Really good one if you can stomach harsher music. They got many ways to get into them. Wanna try.]

"Gimme a couple of albums when I'm done with this mess."

[Never heard of Spotify, you Philistine. Go kick butt.] Despite the insults, the tone was joking. Kanzashi wouldn't lie and say that she actually liked the dark humor of Ichika.

[I'm breaking the habit tonight.] Her voice wasn't too shabby.

The chuckle did enough for Ichika as he got in the next door. Luckily for him, though, it didn't take long before he exited the cupboard.

Just like with Airis, he didn't want to know the setting, but at least, with Laura, he wouldn't cause an international embarrassment.

He witnessed a bit of the kitchen and saw it was a living house. Carrying her outside, Ichika sighed.

"That was actually easier than I hoped for. It leaves Houki, though."

Again, Kanzashi sent him a care package.

[You're going to need more than your sword. Plus, a decent armor. From what I can read, Houki's version is the strongest.]

Throwing it open, Ichika realized it was a Kendo outfit.

"I defeated the Black Sekirei. I can take care of myself."

He and Kanzashi laughed when he realized he had said that double entendre. It was the first time he showed more than his dark face inside the school.

[Good to know that. Good luck with that.]

With that done, Ichika began to change into his clothes. He wondered what Houki had been thinking about him. Most likely, it wouldn't be as perverted as the rest.

His mind went to his sister. How would Chifuyu be doing?

Chifuyu goaded the pilot along while she avoided the attacks. Then, twirling herself in a dark corner, Chifuyu knew precisely what would happen if she followed her there.

But she didn't, and that led to her downfall.

"It's your turn, Maya!"

A chipper voice shouted its approval.

"Roger that!"

When the lights went on, their foe was greeted by a Mass Produced Unit.

The Rafale Revive might not have been that impressive, but with four Vulcan Canons, that was enough to make most men shit their pants.

With a fire rate of 6,000 rounds per minute, four of them. That would put an incredible amount of lead in one direction.

The barrels began to spoon menacingly while the Pilot got ready.

"Quad Phalanx!" The shield got made, but it just made Maya giddier. It was good for her that Ichika wasn't around.

"If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!" The four bullet hoses opened, and countless shells fell on the ground.

The Pilot was forced back while the bullets continued to fire on her. But, for Chifuyu, this was good enough.

When Maya stopped the firing, she walked over to the pilot. Their foe crashed on the ground while she smiled at her.

"Are you going to comply, or do we really need to go that way?" The Fang Pilot knew when she was outmatched.

"So you're going to send me back." The older woman just sighed while fishing out a business card.

"Call it that I got through a lesson from an old friend. But, unfortunately, I can't keep you here. It would be too much of a headache. I don't think your friends would be around, though."

The blonde sighed.

"Better than nothing, I guess. Just a question. Who is your old friend you talked about?" Chifuyu found her question to be understanding.

"Miya Asama. Sekirei Number One." With that done, Chifuyu found that she had gone a long way compared to before.

Scene skip

In a well-kept dojo, two fighters faced each other. Then, all dressed in their usual outfit, they got ready for their match.

When the signal came, the white figure was the first to act. She found her sword to be redirected, and their foe got one hit on the head, enough to take her out.

When they sheathed their sword, a bow followed.

"Thank you." Ichika was the first to remove his helmet.

"You have gotten better at this." Just like his wife, Ichika had his hair in a traditional tie-up.

"So do you," Houki remembered her days with him.

How she was the one who proposed to him. Their wedding, how that went, and the fact that she had kept him around.

It was what got her driven. It was what made her happy.

She hoped it didn't take too long for the children to come along.

"Hello."

Outside, a man had come on.

"I'm here to challenge this dojo!" The man came through while Houki looked over at him. This man had seen some fights.

"I heard that Ichika Orimura is here. I wish to duel against him." Houki felt her eyebrow twitching.

"Oh?"

Ichika began to feel the sweat drip down his back. It looked like. From all the Ichikas he had faced, this would be the hardest one to fight. But even so, if he had faced Karasuba, this wouldn't be too hard.

Houki was the arbitrator for this match, and the real Ichika loosened his neck. His eyes zoned in on his target while he waited for the beginning.

"Start!" He ducked out of the doppelganger's sword while using his higher speed to avoid the next attack. Blocking out the sword by the butt, Ichika twisted it upwards while he waited a bit and leaned back as he began to feel the training of Miya and his fight with Karasuba take hold.

Ichika had the warrior's blood running through his vein.

Memories consumed him, a wound that he had before.

He felt his instincts take over while his mind shut down. It wasn't like the fight with Karasuba, where every little slip-up could result in his death.

And it was in that danger that he realized nothing would ever break him.

Never again.

Blocking the sword, he pushed back while 'Ichika' felt he didn't break under pressure. This was his fight. He was the one in charge of how it would play out.

Something awakened in Ichika as he felt wounds that would never heal; it pulled him in this.

And Houki watched the man fight. It was like this man had walked in, thousands of years of a warrior, while her husband, her pride and joy, could barely keep up with the guy. The man she knew was the strongest man around didn't know how to fight back against this challenger.

Her 'Ichika' was beaten badly while this man had taken him down. Then, twirling around the sword, the weapon went up while the man gave one devasting whack to her husband.

With that, Houki looked at him in shock.

And then, Ichika pulled off his mask.

"I gotta say. From all fantasies, yours was actually flattering." And when she heard his barking voice that carried a great deal of sarcasm, Houki realized the truth. This was the original Ichika Orimura.

And that realization brought her back to the real world.

Scene skip

[Smash into Pieces. Merry Go Round]

"Houki." From how Charlotte sounded, they were all happy to have Houki back in the land of the living.

The shrine maiden got out of the machine while Ichika was still inside.

"Everyone." Somewhere, she was relieved that she was back awake.

"We are back thanks to Ichika, but he is…." Rin looked over at the male Pilot who had saved them from their attacks.

"He himself hasn't woken up yet."

The male Pilot was also out of it while his mind reflected on the clouds and water. But, nevertheless, he had that same dream when the second semester started.

Opening his eyes, Ichika noticed that he wasn't alone. Instead, he found a woman dressed in a way that made her look like she had walked out of a children's book.

'This got Tabane written all over it.'

The long-sleeved blouse was white, and a white sailor uniform got over it. The blue ribbon was ascot-like, and a mantle covered her waist while the skirt covered her knees.

The shoes really sealed the deal of it.

When the woman turned to him, her eyes were still closed. It remained quiet for a few tense seconds until Ichika began to feel for his sword.

"Pleasure to meet you. My name is Chloe Chronicle. I have fulfilled my master's request, so I shall withdraw for now." The small bow made Ichika even irk more.

He chalked this up for later as he couldn't ask Matsu to look this up. Then, finally, she floated up, and Ichika remained quiet until she disappeared.

"How do I get out of here?"

Then his mind turned to see a woman standing.

The traditional garb made him think it was Houki, but when Ichika saw the long ponytail at the end of it, just one made it clear that it was Chifuyu.

'And now, you've become a part of me. You'll always be with me.'

Scene skip

The group had gathered around him while there was worry etched on their faces.

"He isn't waking up," Rin commented.

"Is he being attacked like we were?" Cecilia's question wasn't too far-fetched, given what they had been through.

Kanzashi shook her head. "I don't think so. The system's been released already."

"Then why?" Charlotte asked.

It was Laura who came up with the idea.

"We have to kiss him." The other girls shouted at that suggestion.

Rin blushed when she heard that.

"Wh-What the hell are you talking about? Why do you think we should kiss him?" Rin asked the German Pilot.

Laura got middle school complex syndrome as she answered with a superiority.

"Don't you fools know? A kiss will wake up a sleeping wife. At least, that's what the lieutenant told me." Rin groaned as she was tired of hearing Clarissa's ideas.

"Really? What would it take you to fire her?"

"Hold on a second." Cecilia got up in her arms.

"We should test it out before dismissing it!"

Houki coughed in her fist while she began to rationalize it.

"Well, it's a bit like CPR."

Then Charlotte got up, and she began to talk.

"I-if that's the case, I don't mind it." Kanzashi sighed as she stood back and leaned against the pod.

"Really? All of you had your fantasies about him. And in the real world, you can't wait to jump his bones." That did enough for the girls to look at her.

She could read several degrees of horror and shock on their faces while the bluenette sighed and sat back.

"And not to mention Rin's fantasy. Really, that was one hell of a."

Too much information came rushing out of her mouth while Rin got up in arms.

Flinging herself to Kanzashi, the girl ducked. But unfortunately, this wasn't the best course of action as Rin's foot landed squarely on Chifuyu's chest, who had entered the room.

It didn't make her even budge as Rin fell. Instead, the Brunhilde smiled down at her with a quiet "Oh?"

If there was one thing scarier for all the girls to hear, it was that sound.

As Chifuyu could quickly turn them into collateral damage.

Scene skip

Ichika found his head pounding for ten while the fog in his head cleared up. It had been crazy when he felt the fatigue hit him.

The guy sat up while he felt too damn tired to move around. Then, turning around, he found he wasn't alone in his bed.

Tatenashi Sarashiki had found her place in his bed. Why she had done so was beyond him, but from the looks of it, she had gotten a serious issue.

Pissed, angry, and tired, Ichika wasn't a complete monster. But, given that Tatenashi was wounded from the battle they had been in, moving her would be dangerous.

"Ichika."

"Morning, sunshine. What are you doing in my bed?"

The second year smiled back at him, which made his blood go up. He would have smashed her skull in if he wasn't so damn tired from this virtual crap.

Even with his training from Miya and the Sekirei, it had taken its toll on him.

"I was wounded. So I decided to lay in your bed." Then, pinching his nose, he looked over at the woman.

"Djbril brought me here. I am glad that she got me out of there. But well, I have to say. Those perverted things you have done to them." The glare made her gulp as Ichika had gotten the deadly Orimura to glare down to a degree she hadn't expected from him.

"Wasn't me. Second. If you are going to fuck with me, I'll kick you out." Tatenashi sighed when she heard that.

"And why are you not doing this now?" Ichika lay down and put his hands behind his head. He was looking over at her.

"You're wounded. I can't kick you out if that would cause ruptures."

Wiping away a tear, Tatenashi couldn't believe the kindness from Ichika.

"Oh, does this mean that you are being won over by big sister?"

Ichika's stare turned deadpan.

"If I kick you out and those wounds end up killing you, I end up in so much more trouble than having you in this bed. Now, shut up or get out if you are going to be annoying. There will be a limit to my patience. I'm going to sleep. I'm exhausted." With that said, Ichika closed his eyes and let sleep claim his body.

It had been crazy, really crazy today. So a good night of sleep was very much appreciated.

Scene skip

The days had gone back to normal after the World Purge ended. Ichika had taken up Kanzashi's advice and started listening to Linkin Park.

He even invested in a decent headset and turned up his tune, more often than not. They really were good.

'In the end, it doesn't even matter.' It felt like that was what his life turned into. But when he got into the cafeteria, he was about to leave and turn his tunes up, but he found it impossible.

"Hold it right there!" Rin shouted.

"Wait!" That was Cecilia.

"Hold up!" Houki stood them by.

"Halt." Of all six, Laura was the calmest.

"Can you hold on a minute?" And Charlotte was a close second.

"We request your presence." Airis had Djbril behind her, who sighed from the last few days.

Ichika groaned while he moved the headset to his neck and glared at them.

"Why are you turning away from us?" Houki asked while Ichika's eye twitched.

"First of all. You're the reason why I had to blow up my life in Shinto Teito." Ichika said as he bit that through.

"Second. You threatened to harm the wives of my best friend. Hell, of a man that I call brother."

Cecilia crossed her arms.

"You call that pervert your friend?"

Ichika let out a strangled breath that sounded like a laugh.

"You really do not have the right to call Minato a pervert. You really don't." Before the girls could say anything more, Ichika cleared up their confusion.

"The World Purge! I have seen what you six think of me! The role-play. The status of me. Your way of looking at me. The things I have witnessed. I can't believe that you call Minato a pervert while compared to you; he is decent!"

"Eh…?" Houki was the first one to feel exposed.

"Uh, well. That's…" Cecilia followed as she, too, started to feel exposed.

"A-are you talking about what happened before…" Charlotte was the next one who felt that way.

"Like, in the World Purge?" Rin was the fourth one who felt exposed.

"But…but…" Airis' mouth dropped wide open as she was also feeling exposed.

"I…I thought I told you to forget about that!" Laura blushed a little bit as she was the last one feeling exposed.

Every one of the IS Girls showed an awkward expression. Thus, Ichika presses them further as far as he sees their guilt.

"How am I supposed to forget about that?!" Ichika shouted.

"Let me think about it for a moment. My motives are purer than Minato's," Houki said nervously. "You could…like…ah…continue your training to keep your mind off things."

"Erm, it's kind of hard to explain, but..." Cecilia was sweating as she tried to devise an excuse to cover up her situation in the computer world but to no avail.

"Shouldn't you…uh…start studying for the finals? It getting close to the end of the semester," Airis said nervously.

"You realize the finals are only four months from today," Ichika countered.

Airis gasped as if she got it wrong while feeling out of opinions in coming up with such excuses as her face was sweating with embarrassment.

"Anyway, you…you…should forget that Ashikabi and focus on the important matters!" Laura awkwardly suggested.

"Like to…ah… to…to…go back on your IS training. Yeah, that's it. I'm sure you still got a lot of catching up to do since you're still behind everyone else…heh…heh," Rin nervously suggested.

"Or better yet. You could…ah... begin to study for the upcoming midterms. You may need to focus on those," Charlotte said nervously. "If you have any trouble with the subjects you can't handle yourself, then I'll be more than happy to help you out as well."

When his eyes settled on Mayuzumi, she could see the dead cold stare from the male Orimura. His sword was ready to come out. The message was all too clear.

'Write out one word. You will not like the results.'

"Orimura, what is the reason for this yelling?" Luckily or unluckily, it was right then that Chifuyu came along to stop any issues.

"Clearing up some confusion, sis." He pressed his tone at that last word while looking at her. Chifuyu found herself looking at him while his eyes got up at her. She had witnessed the things, and much like him, she had found the fantasies of those girls wanting.

"I see. Do you need something?"

"No, I think I'll eat in my room. See you around."

That was another reason why the girls decided to make another visit there.

Scene skip

When the curfew hours had settled in, one sneaky shadow was trying to make his way to Ichika's room.

One was Rin, while Cecilia had her clothes also ready.

"Cecili!"

"Ri!"

Before they could shout, they clasped their hands over the other's mouths.

"What are you doing here?" Rin nearly shouted while she glared at Cecilia.

"That is my line. Why are you half-naked?"

That was for the lack of clothes that Rin wasn't wearing.

"You don't wear much for bed. You are one to talk, though. With your cow tits hanging out?"

Before they could talk, they heard a rip through the room, so both kicked down the door.

"Target secured." A very familiar but curt voice said.

"Laura, are you sure we should be?"

At that point, Charlotte and Laura looked over at Cecilia and Rin.

But before they could say anything else, they heard a definite moan from a woman.

It wasn't Ichika but their assistant homeroom teacher. Yamada Maya.

"Ms. Yamada, why?"

"Ms. Orimura told me to sleep in Orimura's room tonight!"

"Where is Ichika?" Rin asked.

"In Ms. Orimura's room."

That wasn't the word that Rin wanted to hear.

"Very well then, I'll be taking my leave." Cecilia wanted to leave the room swiftly.

"Returning to base for some rest." Laura got on the windowsill, ready to leap.

"Sounds like a good idea!" Charlotte got on her back.

"See you later!"

But before they could leave, Maya wrapped the arms of her unit around them and grumbled.

"I have a lecture for you tonight."

Around the corner, Houki sighed when she turned to the three others.

"I think we have done well to avoid this."

Airis looked over at the older lady and to Djbril, who sighed.

"Maya can be ruthless, highness." The younger girl finally understood what her Knight meant.

"Correct guess, Shinonono." Kanzashi added.

Scene skip

In Chifuyu's room, there had been a cot where Ichika had laid. If he was honest, it was more comfortable than his usual bed.

"You really should have done this sooner, sis." Ichika pestered Chifuyu a bit more these days, and he was really pushing her buttons. Somewhere, he enjoyed this while Chifuyu found that he looked more and more like her.

Maybe, now, she was proud of Ichika.

"I didn't have a good reason for that. Now I do. That being said, do you think you'll ever get over the fantasies of those girls? I mean."

It was really, really, really fucked up. Ichika realized that now, just now, he had begun to get closer to his sister.

"Sis. If they got sexual frustrations, it ain't my problem. I'm not the one who cleans out their fish tank. And question. Do you approve of any of them? I don't."

"No, I don't. Good night, Ichika."

"Night, Chifuyu."

He had been writing a big email to Minato; he could finish that email tomorrow. He hoped that Minato was fine there.

"Ichika, are you still up?"

"I was about to doze off. What's on your mind?"

Chifuyu knew this would be for the best. It was taking him along as it made him grow.

"I have to go somewhere. Someone who is responsible for this mess. Do you mind if you tag along?"

"Not at all. I got a few choice words for that person."

Chifuyu actually chuckled when she heard that word.

"You're going to let me do the talking."

Ichika said one last word before he went to sleep.

"Sure."

Scene skip

The day after was when school was over. The sun had begun to set, and in the café, developed by the sea, not too far from the ISA, one lone girl was sipping her coffee.

"Mind if we join you?"

With a sudden twinge, the girl felt her heart go up. She knew who had come over.

"Orimura Chifuyu. Orimura Ichika." The male Orimura looked over at her.

"If you wonder about if this woman was there, you can be sure. I saw her there, big sis."

Chifuyu thanked her instincts for taking Ichika along.

It didn't matter if she could try to get away. It would be impossible. Ichika had grown leaps and bounds, and that was if she didn't mention Chifuyu's abilities.

"I'll be frank. Tell Tabane to stop sticking her nose where it doesn't belong." That took Chloe by surprise.

Just that word was enough for Ichika to look over at her.

"You know that I am going to tell Minato about this, right?" Ichika asked while Chifuyu found that if Ichika was going to be an ally, he was rather valuable.

"I know what that program Tabane had you put in the system core is for. It's for forcefully extracting the Kurazakura, right?"

Chloe's hand moved to the side but found that her attention had been on the wrong Orimura.

"Make a move, and I'll have your head." Ichika had stood behind her while Chloe gulped and knew what he could do.

Before he or his sister could react, Chloe opened her eyes.

The world around them is distorted.

"An endoskeletal IS, huh? Tabane really is ahead of the world." Before Chifuyu could react, Chloe found a blade around her neck.

"Cut this shit out, or I'm going to kill you."

With that done, the threat, Chloe obeyed him while Chifuyu admitted that Ichika had gotten better at this.

"Thanks, Ichika. We'll see you around." With his sword sheathed, Ichika walked out and followed his sister. Turning around, he looked over at Chloe.

"If Tabane ever pulls that shit again on me, I'm going to kill her." With that done, Chifuyu found that Ichika had started to turn out like her.

"I wouldn't blame you. If I don't beat you to it."

His big sister had to cross out what he had become.

Scene skip

Ichika had finally found the time to write out his email to Minato. But, unfortunately, it'd taken him long enough.

With the tunes of Linkin Park around his ears, he began to write out the events of the last week.

Hi Minato.

I hope you are fine in Shinto Teito. I hope that some can forgive me for the broken promises that I made.

I can tell you, though, that for some people, we are dancing monkeys, especially after what Tabane had put us through.

While things are better but not great, I have come back home.

I am unsure if I can put myself through this school.

I can say that they leave me alone most of the time. It was quiet for most time. Was as I have to underline that.

A couple of days ago, I had to get my machine checked out. A woman there, Hikaruno Kagaribi, offered to look up my machine and free sex. I could only take up the first one as she refused to get my second one done.

My sister would kill her. I haven't asked her yet if she knew Kagaribi. But, well, that wasn't important.

What was important was the World Purge. A sort of system that needed your virtual self to repair it.

If you want to call that sci-fi big brother, you are the one married to seven aliens. Not me.

Houki, Rin, Cecilia, Charlotte, Laura, and Airis had to repair that system. Unfortunately, someone messed them up (I like to add that you should Tabane a ring to back off), and it fell to me to be the hero in shining armor to save them.

They never have the right to call you a pervert (although I think I will call you a stud for the great event of knocking up seven women), as their fantasies were something that I wish I could put behind me. If you really want me to, big brother, I can write them out here for you, but asides from Houki's (marriage and I take over her family's dojo), I wasn't equal in one of them.

Either servant, master, or house husband. You name it, Minato, and I was it. I'll let your Sekirei guess it.

The show wasn't all that bad, though. When this was over, Chifuyu moved me to her room. I have been sleeping there.

I know that I burned quite a few bridges, but with my sister and me, we are slowly coming closer. With the stunt I pulled, she no longer treats me like a, excuses my foul language, fucking idiot, weak-ass little brother.

Asides from that, she has done me a few things. First, I can say that somewhere I am looking forward to the trip to Kyoto despite my guts telling me that trouble will pop up there and it'll be on like Donkey Kong.

I will say this, though, Minato.

I miss you.

I miss your advice, warmth, and the person I could contact with issues.

I miss your Sekirei, the energy of Musubi, the gentleness of Kazehana, the warmth of Kagari, the choice words of Tsukiumi, the tips from Matsu, the teasing from Uzume, the talking with Chiho, the playing with Kusano.

I miss them all.

I miss Miya and the house. I miss my school.

I miss Kosaki and my job. I missed my chance at a simpler life.

In the end, it came down to me that I will not have a normal life.

Hope you're doing well with the Sekirei, and I will see you in March.

I'll keep you posted on the rest of it.

Your brother.

Ichika Orimura.

Ichika pressed send to the email. He had to start packing. But he felt his mind wandering.

'I hope to see you there, Madoka. Got questions that need answering.'

---

It took me a while to write this one out. I had many issues during this, plus the dolphinarium trip was a ton of fun with mum during a weekend. So, I took it easy on Sunday Easter by staying inside and taking care of stuff.

Letting my pc run for a good bit. I have been out enough for a while, and I could use the quietness and peace for a bit.

Nothing, all things were bad. On the 7th of April, we got two albums. Meteora, the 20th anniversary of that album of Linkin Park. May Chester rest in Peace and never be forgotten.

I felt like I got back in time as I remembered writing something similar when I was listening to Linkin Park years ago.

During my job, I felt like a fool for not listening more to this band while I was writing BNW, as the music is an excellent fit for writing or reading this chapter. The playlist of them is a great one for this story. Just saying.

And I also got Powerwolf's new album. Interludium is a very nice piece, and I like the covers of the different bands on it. I thank the Wolves for giving the Dwarves a big chance; they did wonders on it.

And now for something else. An omake. The requester didn't want this to be canon, so I have it here.

This is not canon, but I feel there haven't been too many lemons.

It's been years since I wrote an Ichika lemon. You can take this as a spin-off from the scene where Ichika and Hikaruno are grilling the fish. See above.

---

Hikaruno looked back at Ichika, whose eyes showed no signs of relenting. The fact that he had turned the tables on her quickly. And well, fucking outside. There were rarely any students passing by, but still.

Fucking here? She had to find a persuade him to do otherwise."

"You really are fine with an old hag like me being your first?" Of course, the self-deprecating form of humor had been used before, but only now, she might have believed those words.

The rough squeeze on her tits made her jump, but she couldn't escape while Ichika kept her grounded. In his eyes, she could read a dark pool of lust forming and threatening to swallow her up.

Ichika felt his throat was dry, and his cock was straining against his trouser. The frustration had been building up in his body; he was willing to do something about his status as a virgin.

Plus, if he banged Hikaruno, there wasn't a chance it would backfire on the woman or himself.

"One. You're not old. Maybe older than me, but that ain't the point. I want this. I am really stressed, and a good friend of mine told me that sex is a great way to relieve stress."

This time, both sets of hands fondled the chest through the vest, and as it was skin tight, it was all too easy to find the nipples.

Ichika would never admit it, but living with the Sekirei proved extraordinarily stimulating. He could never thank Miya enough for the amount of diplomacy and subtlety that allowed her to forget that his dreams weren't as pure as his intentions.

He was a growing teenage boy, and spending time with beauties affected him. Even if he considered the fact that while it was platonic (and the fact that his mind said no to the relationship, his body had been saying different stuff), it did wonders for him.

His hands played with the chest while Kagari gulped at him.

"So, are you going to be a big girl and do something about this?"

Hikaruno began to think about it, and it would make some waves, but if she was honest, it had been too long since she had any action.

And the woman who said that only men thought of sex were the ones who never had a proper orgasm.

The fact that Ichika, as a virgin, could give her one wasn't precisely the issue. Plus, his instincts made for a perfectly viable subsite for the experience.

If his groping and playing were one thing to go by.

"If you want to do this, not outside. My shower is big enough. I'd like to wash this from me. And we kinda need to eat."

Ichika had heard Jin use this phrasing, and while vulgar, it made sense.

"Yashima is a woman that I am willing to work for. She keeps my stomach full and my balls empty. All a man needs."

Ichika had found that it was gross, but he couldn't see any fault in it.

The two ate quickly while not even talking. However, their eyes wandered. And while his eyes were glued to her chest and round ass, the woman looked over at his bulge.

Fuck, Ichika was proving the stereotype wrong.

As soon the fishes went down their gullet, they walked over, hand in hand, while they had the idea of sex in mind.

Hikaruno's room resembled Ichika's own room but way messier. Not that he had much time to focus on that as Hikaruno pulled him into her shower room.

Bending down, she gave him a real full view of her ass. It proved that she kept herself in good shape.

"Now, sexy guy. Get undressed. I'm going to wash you." Not that Ichika needed any incentive, as he pretty much skipped out of his clothes. When pulling down his member, Hikaruno gulped.

Ichika was impressive. Not the biggest, not the longest she had, but he was showing for his age.

"Do it."

His voice was dark and husky, so Hikaruno decided to give him a show. Slowly, she pulled down her goggles. Her lab coat followed, and the strings of her swimsuit were pulled down. Ichika was stroking his dick, watching the woman.

As soon as the tits came out, Ichika gulped when he saw those giant udders bounce free. They were bigger than Chifuyu's or Cecilia's.

She kept pulling them down while his eyes kept focused on her. When the suit came out, it was only then that Hikaruno noticed how wet she was with the strings.

'Just from fondling. Your brother is really scary.'

When the suit ended on the ground, she watched how Ichika looked at her while his cock had only grown. She didn't know what to do.

"Get in the shower." Then, finally, it was his turn to obey her, and when he turned on the water, Hikaruno followed up at him while she stroked his cock.

Ichika could feel how her tits were playing at his back while his cock continued to grow in length.

"Fuck, Hikaruno." He groaned while she could feel him growing bigger and harder in her hand. She knew what she was doing while she worked him over.

But Ichika didn't want to blow his load on just her hands. So he turned around and faced her.

"Not like this."

His hands went down on her shoulders and got her down to kneel. There, she could see the dick in full glory.

He was a healthy young man looking over at her.

"There is something that I'd like to try." Grabbing a bottle of soap, he spread it over her tits. When it was soapy enough, his hands played with the soft flesh. Finally, he put his dick between them.

Hikaruno didn't guess that Ichika would do that, but it appeared that Ichika got some inspiration from before.

When she saw how enjoyable it was for him, she let Ichika have this before he moved.

Maybe, he appreciated the tightness between her chest or the smoothness of those beautiful tits. Either way, it was clear that Ichika was working out a system, and they found a rhythmic thrusting inside the breasts that made it so delightful.

Hikaruno gasped when she felt how Ichika got roughly between her tits. From the looks of it, Ichika had never done this before, so his stumbles were not that hard and precise, but given that she was dealing with a virgin, at least, the fact that he took charge amounted to something.

So she let Ichika do so while she kept it as tight as possible.

And even despite her extensive set, he kept peeping out. Finally, her eyes went up to his and then to his dick.

"Do you mind?"

They said it simultaneously while they stopped and laughed a bit.

She recovered first and looked at him.

"I want to suck your head when you come out."

"Be my guest."

With that order done, Ichika thrust in and out while Hikaruno followed up with her idea. The precum came oozing out. It did slow Ichika down to a slower pace as he loved the feeling of that mouth.

"It's delicious." She said while Ichika didn't react to that.

His mind was too focused on getting harder and harder, so his thrust grew like that. However, her tongue was improving as she took over and moved the tits.

He had to place his hands on the walls as she took over, and while his thrusts were still going up and down, Hikaruno knew that she dominated this young man.

"Now, Ichika, if you want to cum, you have to."

Even though she was in charge, she forgot the strength that Ichika had, so she had only herself to blame as Ichika grabbed her short hair and pulled it downwards.

Her throat became a fleshlight for his rod as he unloaded his cum inside of her.

Given the amount of junk that came down her throat, she imagined that it was rare that Ichika got relief. It also explained why he was quicker on the shot.

She did find it fun to have this while she tasted him.

'Thick, tasty, and plenty of it. A healthy boy.' She kept stroking him, however, to prolong his orgasm and the amount of sperm shooting down his throat.

The enthusiasm would have bothered Ichika were not for the fact that an event that some would describe as thinking more clearly or, in more vulgar terms, post-nut clarity.

He was still as stiff as a flagpole when he pulled out, which remained clear for Hikaruno.

"Come on, big guy. You really need a bed for this."

When one was to hurry, drying off with a towel was done while they kept glancing at each other.

When Ichika found the bed, Hikaruno threw him on it while she climbed up behind him.

"Hey!"

The young man shouted, but she ignored it while looking at him.

"Be quiet. This is going to be fun." Ichika let her take over while she guided his cock to her burning core.

While the tit-fuck and mouth-fuck had undoubtedly been enough to turn her on, she also wanted release.

She was as turned on as he was, and it wouldn't hurt to have this.

Riding him would be fun, with her body being his size.

When she slammed his entire length into her pussy, Ichika could feel himself burning up from that while the tightness and heat were unlike anything he had ever felt.

"Oh, fuck. This feels nice." She groaned. It wasn't easy to fuck around in this sort of setting, and while it was more sociably acceptable to be loose, it didn't mean it was easy to find good fuck meat.

With how hard Ichika was inside of her pussy and how great his reactions were, she could have this more.

She didn't move, though, to let Ichika enjoy the full pleasure of her cunt on his dick.

"How does your first pussy feel?"

When the only words were moans and small, "Ah, ahn, ah, ahn," she was doing something right.

"I take that as a compliment." She knew that while she took over the reins, she had to be a bit easier on him.

Ensuring she was in charge didn't equate to him being traumatized.

So she just let her hands roam over his body. It was clear how chiseled, well-trained, and without a hint of fat.

It was surprisingly turning her on more than she would have guessed. She liked that feeling of his muscles reacting to her touch.

When Ichika recovered from that shock, he began to rock his hips while his eyes were glued to the moves of her chest.

And when his mind got out of the stuff, he went right at her chest.

Hikaruno found that was very much appreciated when his fingers found her nipples, hard as a rock.

His dick was also rock hard, and when he moved back, Hikaruno got the message and joined in.

While some of her wanted to ride him like a metal bull and slam down her hips in reckless abandon, she decided it was better to wait and take it slow.

So that is what she did. Her legs moved around him while his hips bucked. But the moves were slow and deliberate, while she also kept Ichika in mind.

The fact that the boy was doing his best to hold back from cumming inside her made her happy. And with the amount of pressure crushing down, she just rocked her hips a bit faster but let her head rock back while she was there.

Ichika looked up at her and found that how Hikaruno looked was the sexiest that he had ever seen a woman look.

And the fact that it was his dick that was making her like this also did wonders for his ego.

They just loved the feeling of each other, and Ichika kept focused on her while Hikaruno found a fabulous pool of heat that Ichika was poking in.

When her breath tickled his ear, she kissed his cheek.

"Just a bit more, sweetie. You are doing so well. I'm so close but don't hold back now. I need your cum. I want you to cum. Just a bit more. Like this."

The words were enough for him to come undone, and Hikaruno was glad that birth control did wonders on her as he unloaded his cum inside of her.

Her own orgasm was a melting one, and she felt her body reach that release.

The moan she had was bitten back as she felt the hot cum shooting in her.

The strangled moan just made her smile while Ichika collapsed in the bed.

The first time was much more exhausting than he would have guessed.

Hikaruno pulled out of him and wiped away the excess of their juices from her crotch. Then, she watched how Ichika was about to fall asleep.

Pecking him on the cheek, she looked over at him.

"Nice one, Ichika. I believe you have exceeded my expectations for a virgin." The boy was about to say more but felt his fatigue hitting up.

It was like all the stress and pressure had washed over him.

Sex was one great stress reliever, and it certainly felt nice that he had this.

"Now, get some rest. I'll wake you up when your machine is working." The boy just nodded while the scientist stood up.

Her levels of stress had completely died from this fucking.

She had to do this more often.

---

Really had a lot of fun writing this out. Been too long for it, and well, it got out faster than I would have guessed.

Now, as a reminder for the poll. It's like this.

1. Ichika stays single and stays like that by the next fic.

2. Ichika gets involved with Ran, Maya, or Kosaki. (they are separate in choices)

3. Harem redeems itself during the time skip, and they learn to share.

That's all for now.

Saluut.
