45 Yume Reappears

Boom boom boom boom boom!!!

On the bridge at the north exit of the Shinto Teito, a fierce battle was taking place.

The Bond Sekirei Musubi against the Red Sekirei Benitsubasa, the Water Sekirei Tsukiumi against the Blue Sekirei Haihane, both sides were evenly matched, fighting inextricably.

As members of the third-generation disciplinary squad, Benitsubasa and Haihane naturally possessed extraordinary talents. In addition, Karasuba, their captain, would spar with them from time to time over the years, so their strength was naturally unquestionable. Among the 108 Sekirei, only a handful could surpass them.

Musubi inherited everything from Yume and had her strength greatly enhanced after a period of guidance from Miya. However, she didn't have much of an advantage over Benitsubasa. The two were evenly matched and both belonged to the close-quarters combat type, so they fought for a long time without a clear winner.

As for Tsukiumi, the power of water gave her a lot of advantages. Haihane also knew that she was no match for Tsukiumi, so she didn't engage her head-on, but instead dragged Tsukiumi down to prevent her from helping Musubi.

As a result, after fighting for a long time, both sides were in a stalemate, and neither could do anything to the other.

Boom! With a loud bang, Musubi and Benitsubasa pulled away from each other again after an unknown number of collisions.

"Tch, damn it!" Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, Benitsubasa was annoyed as she looked at Musubi, who was getting more and more excited as she fought.

The impatient her met the naturally airheaded Musubi, just like encountering a natural enemy. That's why she chose Musubi as her opponent from the beginning. She originally thought she could take her down in a few moves, but she didn't expect it to be so troublesome!

Haihane was being suppressed by that water-manipulating Sekirei, and it looked like she wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer. If the other two joined forces, then they would be doomed.

The proud Benitsubasa would never allow such a thing to happen!

"Haruka, are you okay? Hey? Wake up…"

Benitsubasa looked over and saw that it was the Ashikabi of that incompetent Sekirei.

Benitsubasa looked down on people who had no strength but still wanted to resist the rules and escape the Shinto Teito from the bottom of her heart. However, seeing that the other party was still foolishly hugging the incompetent Sekirei, who had overused her abilities, and standing there in a daze, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and Benitsubasa suddenly had an idea.

Bang! With a strong force under her feet, she directly stepped out countless cracks on the ground. Benitsubasa's body turned into an afterimage and bypassed Musubi, rushing towards Haruka and Kuno.

"Don't run, continue fighting Musubi!" Seeing that the other party was ignoring her, Musubi, who was in the middle of an exciting fight, became anxious and chased after her with a pair of small pink fists.

However, Benitsubasa naturally wouldn't let Musubi succeed. She grabbed Haruka before she could catch up. The exhausted Kuno wanted to save his Ashikabi, but Benitsubasa kicked him aside, and he screamed and couldn't get up again.

"Don't move! Or I'll kill this guy!" Benitsubasa shouted, looking at Musubi, who wanted to come and save him.

Sure enough, this trick was very effective for the pure-hearted Musubi. Although he wasn't her Ashikabi, she still couldn't bear to see him get hurt, so she stopped when she heard the sound.

"Let me go! Let me go, you stinky woman!" Haruka, who was being held in the air by Benitsubasa, kept struggling.

However, this unfortunate guy didn't look at the current situation. He was already in the hands of others, but he was still so arrogant. Wasn't he just asking for a beating?

Sure enough, Benitsubasa directly punched Haruka in the stomach.

With a scream, he even vomited out bitter water. A look of fear flashed in his eyes, and Haruka didn't dare to resist anymore.

"Please let Haruka-san go, this is a battle between Sekirei, please don't hurt the Ashikabi!" Musubi shouted anxiously at Benitsubasa.

A smug sneer appeared on her face, and Benitsubasa increased the strength in her hand.

"Hmph! Who said you can't hurt the Ashikabi? If you don't want this trash to die, then stand there and don't move! That's right, just like that!"

She cursed the idiot in her heart. It wasn't even her Ashikabi, but this silly girl was still so obedient. Since that was the case, she didn't need to be polite with her.

She threw Haruka away and directly used her fist technique, preparing to defeat Musubi with one move.

"Smash!"

A large amount of Sekirei power surged out from the core and gathered on her fist, and even a part of it had broken out of her body! This was one of Benitsubasa's signature moves. As long as Musubi was hit by this move, her functions would definitely stop!

Boom!

Musubi, who was threatened not to move, couldn't react at such a close distance and was hit head-on by Benitsubasa's fist. With a scream, her body crashed into countless iron beams on the bridge like a cannonball.

"Musubi! Damn it, annoying guy, get out of my way, Water Arrow!"

Tsukiumi, who was fighting Haihane, also noticed Musubi's situation. She became anxious and shot dozens of water bullets at Haihane, breaking away to rush towards Musubi.

"Ashikabi-sama…" Musubi, who was hit by Benitsubasa's ultimate move, was seriously injured and looked dazed. It looked like she was about to die!

"Musubi! How could this happen, you…" When she rushed over to pick up Musubi, Tsukiumi was stunned to find her Sekirei crest disappearing.

Regret, self-blame, a series of emotions flooded her heart. If she had defeated Haihane earlier, Musubi wouldn't have been like this. Looking at Musubi, whose functions had stopped, Tsukiumi suddenly felt very scared. How was she going to explain this to Sora…

However, at this moment, a hand pressed on Tsukiumi's shoulder, startling the alert Tsukiumi!

"Don't worry, Tsukiumi, Musubi is fine, don't blame yourself."

Familiar voice, familiar smile, looking at Sora, who appeared behind her, Tsukiumi suddenly felt at a loss, like a little girl who had made a mistake, and didn't dare to look him in the eye.

Although she usually fought with Musubi to compete for Sora, she was still her companion after all. Thinking of the bond she had built with Musubi these days, Tsukiumi felt even more sad.

Looking at Tsukiumi like this, Sora didn't say much. Anyway, she would know in a while. This was also a trial of her state of mind. In the future, in order to never experience the pain of losing a partner again, she would become stronger and stronger!

"Hey, you stinky monkey over there, get out of here!"

She had finally taken care of one, and now there was only Tsukiumi left. As long as she and Haihane joined forces, the next battle would be a sure win. So, seeing Sora suddenly appear and disrupt the situation, Benitsubasa was annoyed.

"Although I had to do this to get Yume out, you actually dared to hurt my Sekirei like this, little girl, you're really bold!" Sora said coldly while picking up Musubi from the ground.

"Huh? Stinky monkey, are you sick?" Looking at this Ashikabi, who was so bold that she had no limits, Benitsubasa was amused. She really suspected that the other party had burned his brain out because he had lost his Sekirei!

Without saying more, Sora had already decided that he would definitely punish this proud little Sekirei in the future! He would let her pay some interest now.

He pointed out a finger, and a purple lightning pillar fell from the sky, directly hitting Benitsubasa before she could react.

"Ah…" A scream.

In order not to electrocute the other party to death, Sora held back and didn't use too much power. But even so, it was enough for Benitsubasa to suffer. Her clothes were torn, and large patches of her body were exposed. Due to static electricity, even her pink hair stood up.

"Haha, hahaha, Benitsubasa, you're smoking, you're smoking…" The tsukkomi girl not far away didn't have any awareness that her companion was being attacked and actually laughed heartlessly.

"Ah!!! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I must kill you!"

Benitsubasa was really angered this time and even cursed.

"Hey? Your opponent isn't me." A wicked smile appeared on his face, and Sora released Musubi in his hand.

Instead of falling to the ground as expected, Musubi's body emitted bursts of dazzling light under everyone's surprised expressions. The red Sekirei crest reappeared, and she suddenly opened her eyes. She, who had stopped functioning, had actually woken up again!

"What's going on, that guy?" Looking at the unbelievable scene in front of her, Benitsubasa forgot about revenge and murmured.

"Yo, long time no see, Yume!" Although it was still Musubi's body, Sora's eyes flashed with a hint of nostalgia as he looked at the somewhat different girl.

"Sora-sama!" Yume rushed over and hugged Sora, a look of incomparable joy on her face.

Uh, in fact, no matter how you looked at it, she was exactly the same as Musubi. If it wasn't for the big number 08 on her body, Sora would have really thought that the girl in front of him was Musubi.

"Little girl, you're still so reckless!" Sora knocked Yume on the head speechlessly and took off his clothes to put them on Yume, who was as exposed as Benitsubasa.

"Sora-sama, Yume missed you so much! Hehe, Karasuba, I missed you too!" Yume arched into Sora's arms and then raised her head to shout at another figure on the overpass not far away.

"Hehe, hehehe, Yume! Yume!!"

From the moment Yume awoke, Karasuba could no longer contain herself, already trembling with excitement. She drew her katana and dove straight down.

She had waited too long for this day to battle Yume again!

"Yume, beat up the little crow!"

Her number one fighter was back, and Sora naturally wanted to make good use of her, ordering Yume with a wicked grin.

"Yes, Sora-sama!"

"Karasuba, you've been disobedient in my absence. Now, I will discipline you properly on behalf of Sora-sama!"

With that, a glint flashed in Yume's eyes as well. To everyone's surprise, her figure blurred as she rushed to meet the incoming Karasuba.

Well, Yume's personality would never allow her to say such things; these were all things she was taught by a shameless person back in the day…
