Chapter 50: The Red Sekirei

After staying at Izumo Inn for a few days, Yukari left with Tsukiumi to become the righteous savior of poor Sekirei and fulfill her great mission.

Although Izumo Inn was filled with women, almost all of whom were related to Sora, the now thoroughly tamed Yukari no longer dared to be jealous.

She finally understood why even her unscrupulous mother had been conquered by Sora. In this world, there are some people you just can't help but submit to!

After Yukari and Tsukiumi left, Izumo Inn returned to its usual tranquility. Except for Uzume, who had been away taking care of Chiho, everyone went about their daily lives as usual.

Miya continued to be the big sister, cooking and doing laundry; Matsu continued to immerse herself in her computer, living the otaku life; Homura continued her host job, and since almost all the Sekirei had been winged, she no longer needed to be the guardian; Tsukiumi played with water all day, while Musubi practiced her punches, both spurred on to train harder every day.

The most idle were Sora and the little loli Kusano, who spent their days doing nothing, chasing butterflies here and catching ants there, living a completely unproduc life.

Oh, and there was also the drunk woman who wandered around with a giant bottle of alcohol, looking like she wouldn't rest until she became the goddess of wine!

However, while Izumo Inn was peaceful, the outside world was in chaos!

The Sekirei Project had been going on for a while, but the original plan of having the Sekirei fight each other to select the final Ashikabi wasn't going as expected.

Although the Ashikabi were ordinary humans without powers, they were all quite clever. Most of them, except for the strong ones, hid and refused to participate in the battles.

Whether they were afraid of losing their Sekirei or worried about their own lives, they just wouldn't come out!

With the Day of Reckoning approaching, if these guys kept hiding, it would be a disaster! So, Sora and MBI came up with a plan: change the rules of the Sekirei Project. Any Sekirei that hadn't defeated another within the specified time would have their functions terminated!

Well, although it was a bit ruthless, this trick worked!

When it came to life and death, these Ashikabi stopped being cowards. The once calm capital became a battlefield, with Sekirei and Ashikabi fighting every day.

Seeing this, the old man at MBI smiled with satisfaction, and Sora smiled with pride.

Fight, fight! No matter who wins, I'll be the one to benefit in the end!

Thinking about how many more Sekirei would become his private property, Sora woke up laughing in his sleep several times.

Well, Miya has been keeping a close eye on me these days. I'll have to find an opportunity to awaken them all and then collect them!

However, while Sora was happily dreaming, he didn't know that someone far away had already set their sights on him.

The person who had set their sights on Sora was none other than Benitsubasa, the Red Sekirei and a member of MBI's Punishment Squad!

Actually, Benitsubasa's real target was Musubi, not Sora.

Due to their personalities, the impatient Benitsubasa and the naturally clueless Musubi were like natural enemies. Originally, Benitsubasa had wanted to quickly defeat Musubi, but she never expected Musubi to be so strong, able to fight her to a draw.

Although she had later used a trick to stop Musubi's functions, in Benitsubasa's heart, Musubi was still her enemy, an eternal enemy she had to defeat fair and square! Especially after seeing Musubi, who had somehow managed to defeat Karasuba, Benitsubasa was even more determined in this belief!

With Benitsubasa's personality, she would have charged into Izumo Inn to wreak havoc, but there was a deity known as the "Northern Oni" there, someone even Karasuba didn't dare to provoke, so that plan was out of the question.

However, although she couldn't go in, she could lure them out!

Moreover, although the Sekirei in Izumo Inn were all monsters, the Ashikabi was just an ordinary human. If she could capture that useless Ashikabi man, wouldn't she be able to control those hateful women?

Although the wood clone had shown its abilities in front of Benitsubasa before, she hadn't thought much of it, assuming it was the work of a hidden Sekirei. In her eyes, Sora was still a weak, cowardly Ashikabi who relied on his Sekirei.

So, to lure out Musubi, Benitsubasa set her sights on Sora, staking out Izumo Inn every day, waiting for Sora to fall into her trap!

"Sora, your charm is growing stronger by the day. There's been a cute little girl outside watching you for the past few days," Miya teased Sora one evening as she prepared dinner in the kitchen.

Of course, Miya had noticed Benitsubasa's little antics, and Sora had also been aware of her presence. However, since the girl hadn't made a move yet, everyone had tacitly agreed not to bring it up.

With a slightly awkward expression, Sora, who was helping Miya in the kitchen, replied, "She's probably got her eyes on me. Miya, don't overthink it. I'll go out tomorrow and chase her away."

Sora made a solemn promise to Miya.

But whether he really intended to chase her away or do something else entirely, only he knew.

In truth, recalling the information he had about Benitsubasa, although she was a bit tsundere, she was undeniably cute!

And in Sora's opinion, a girl being tsundere was just a sign of her charm and personality!

Her petite figure, her adorable pink hair, even her eyes were pink, and she often wore a large bow around her waist. Especially when she stuck out her tongue, it was irresistibly cute.

For Sora, who already had a harem of voluptuous Sekirei, a girl like Benitsubasa, who was more about cuteness, held a unique allure.

Although he had already decided that he would definitely add Benitsubasa to his collection someday, in front of Miya, he naturally had to remain humble, right?

"Oh, really? Well, Sora, don't do anything strange, okay?" Miya smiled with a knowing look, her purple eyes seeming to pierce through Sora's soul.

Having understood Sora's nature to the core, Miya knew better than to believe that Sora wouldn't be tempted by a beautiful and cute Sekirei girl. It was easier to believe that pigs could fly!

But Miya, being the queen of Sekirei and the future main wife, had a broad mind.

So, for the man she deeply loved, she chose to be tolerant.

She had been tolerant in the past, was tolerant now, and would continue to be tolerant in the future.

Sora was naturally moved by this.

So, to not waste Miya's kindness and to spread her beautiful, kind, and tolerant reputation throughout the world, Sora decided—

He would work hard to gather all the beautiful goddesses in the world into his harem, making Miya the greatest harem queen in the entire universe!

And now, he was striving to achieve this goal!

"Huh? What was that just now? Hmph, that damn Ashikabi man still hasn't come out. Just wait until I catch him, I'll make him pay!"

Benitsubasa, who had been guarding outside Izumo Inn, suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, as if someone was watching her.

However, the thought of having wasted several days and nights outside Izumo Inn immediately drowned out this small feeling with endless frustration.

Now, Benitsubasa not only hated Musubi but also thoroughly despised Sora!

She imagined that once she caught him, she would skin him alive and tear him apart!

However, little did Benitsubasa know that in the near future, she would be completely conquered by the very Ashikabi man she loathed, and she would be devoured by him…
