65 The Boy Who Delivers Beauties

"Sora-sama, you gave them to me. Why… why are you stopping me now…"

Homura, her body engulfed in flames and on the verge of exploding, looked at Sora with a complex expression. While she didn't care about her own life, she didn't want this man to die with her.

Sora smiled. This was the moment he had been waiting for!

Even though the flames were burning his entire body, Sora didn't let go. He leaned close to Homura's ear and whispered something.

Shock, disbelief, but most of all, hope flashed in Homura's eyes, which had been filled with despair just moments ago.

"Well, Homura, what will you choose? To live with everyone, or to die alone?"

Sora's lips curled into a smile. Although he already knew the answer, he wanted to hear her say it.

Blushing, Homura's face took on an otherworldly beauty under the glow of the flames. She seemed shy but finally mustered the courage to speak:

"I want to live… with everyone! Sora-sama, please… wing me…"

Her voice was almost inaudible by the end.

"Got it! My beautiful flame princess…"

Without further delay, Sora kissed Homura's lips.

The raging flames gradually subsided. A crimson Sekirei crest appeared, and a pair of massive fire wings unfurled. Amid the envious and jealous gazes of the other Ashikabi, No. 6, the flame manipulator Homura, was winged!

"Alright, it's incredible. Even my powers have completely stabilized…"

Homura felt the changes in her body, almost unable to believe it.

For so long, she had suffered because of her unstable powers. But now, they were stable, and the hidden strength within her had been unlocked, making her even more powerful!

All of this felt like a dream…

"Hehe, as expected, you've completely become a woman now, haven't you?"

Well, the voice of a certain beast, along with his restless hands wandering over Homura's ample chest, instantly pulled the girl out of her beautiful fantasy. Her face turned bright red, and she looked utterly embarrassed.

Homura's body was the prototype for all Sekirei, originally genderless, and would change according to the Ashikabi's will.

Although Sora's nature was wicked, he wasn't perverted, and his orientation was quite normal. Naturally, he wanted Homura to become a full-fledged woman.

And now, seeing Homura's body become more voluptuous and exude the alluring charm of a beautiful girl just from his kiss, Sora felt a deep sense of accomplishment!

He wanted to spend more time with his new Sekirei, but just then—

"Ah! My Sekirei!!!"

"Ugh… Mutsu, I told you we should've come earlier! The fire Sekirei has already been winged by that monster uncle!"

Well, hearing this voice made Sora's lips twitch.

A young boy, a cool-looking guy, a beautiful blue-haired lady in blue attire, and a blonde tsundere girl who was clearly full of herself.

The boy and the cool guy were old acquaintances—Mikogami Hayato of the South and No. 5, Mutsu. Sora couldn't be bothered to pay attention to this pair of "bros."

But the two Sekirei following them caught Sora's eye. Damn, this kid really was aiming to be a harem king—every Sekirei he collected was a top-tier beauty!

The blue-haired lady was a given. From the first glance, Sora had decided she would be his. But the blonde tsundere girl surprised him—she looked exactly like Mitsuha!

After a moment of thought, Sora realized who she must be—Mitsuha's sister, Mitsuki, the Sekirei who controlled threads.

A wicked smile spread across Sora's face. He had thought that getting the Nina and Natsuka sisters was a great catch, but this kid had gone above and beyond, delivering another beauty to him.

Hehe, just imagining Mitsuha and Mitsuki, the tsundere sisters, calling him "master" and serving him made Sora's heart race with excitement.

But—

"You brat! Calling me 'uncle' every time we meet is bad enough, but why did you have to add 'monster' this time?!!!"

In a flash, Sora appeared in front of the boy, his fist already swinging toward the kid's head. The boy cried out in pain, shocking everyone present.

Feeling that he had vented enough, Sora handed the boy back to the still-dazed Mutsu. After all, the boy shared his dream of becoming a harem king, and Sora had already taken one of his Sekirei and was about to take another. He figured he should at least give the kid some face.

"Wahhh… Mutsu, it hurts so much!"

"Hahaha, this is hilarious! You perverted brat, you wanted to wing my Shiina back then. How does it feel to get your comeuppance?"

Finally, the boy's pitiful cries and Yukari's triumphant laughter snapped everyone out of their daze.

The blue-haired lady Sekirei and the blonde tsundere Sekirei were furious, ready to avenge their Ashikabi, but Mutsu stopped them.

Mutsu looked helplessly at Mikogami Hayato, who now had a face swollen like a pig's head, thinking to himself, Why did you have to run your mouth? You knew he was a 'monster uncle,' so why did you have to say it out loud?!!!

"Sora-sama, although I really don't want to fight you, we need the Jinkis in your hands."

As one of the earliest-born Sekirei, Mutsu knew many secrets that others didn't. From the start, his goal had been the Jinkis, not Homura. The reason he had brought Mikogami late was to reduce the number of unnecessary opponents.

However, Mutsu was now in a dilemma. While he was strong, he could at most hold off Kazehana. The newly winged Homura gave him a dangerous feeling, and it was likely that Mitsuha wouldn't be a match for her.

Since Homura had been winged by Sora, she naturally sided with him and handed the two Jinkis over to him.

If what Sora had told her earlier was true, then destroying the Jinkis no longer mattered to her.

Moreover, she firmly believed that this man wouldn't lie to her!

Playing with the two Jinkis, Sora looked at the troubled Mutsu and the pitiful Mikogami, then casually tossed one of the Jinkis to Mikogami.

"Ah! It's so hot, so hot!"

Well, the Jinkis had been heated by Homura's flames, and for a normal human like Mikogami, they were indeed a bit too hot. Whether Sora did it on purpose or not was anyone's guess.

"Thank you, Sora-sama. We'll take our leave now!" A hint of joy appeared on Mutsu's face. He hadn't expected Sora to be so accommodating, directly giving them one of the Jinkis.

With the Jinkis in hand, they wouldn't have to worry about anything until the final battle.

"Hehe, little Mutsu, you can leave, but they'll have to stay!"

Well, this was the classic move of a villain. Pointing at the blue-haired lady and the blonde tsundere, Sora spoke with a wicked grin.

"No way!" The first to object was Mikogami.

Although he didn't seem to care much about his Sekirei on the surface, he actually cared deeply for them. When Yomi and Mitsuha had left before, he had secretly been heartbroken for a long time. Now, Sora wanted to take his Sekirei again? Mikogami wasn't having it!

Mutsu also frowned, hesitating. Fighting was likely a losing battle—the opponent had too many powerful fighters, and he couldn't handle them all alone. But giving up wasn't an option either, as they were his comrades. For a moment, Mutsu was caught in a dilemma.

As for Taki and Mitsuha, they were already furious with Sora. Not only had he bullied their Ashikabi, but now he was even trying to take them for himself!

However, Sora didn't care whether they hated him now or not. Once he incapacitated them and restarted their crests, they would forget everything and obediently call him "master," right?

Not wanting to waste any more time, Sora directly ordered Kazehana and Homura:

"Kazehana, you keep Mutsu busy. Homura, your powers have just stabilized, so this is a good chance to test them. Incapacitate these two Sekirei, but try not to hurt them too much."

Kazehana naturally wouldn't disobey Sora's orders. As for Homura, if it had been before, she might have hesitated to incapacitate other Sekirei, and it could have even caused psychological damage. But now, she knew Sora wouldn't harm these Sekirei, so she just needed to follow his lead.

What followed was predictable. Kazehana and Mutsu tangled in a fierce battle, evenly matched. While Kazehana was slightly stronger overall, if they truly went all out, it would likely end in mutual destruction. Since Kazehana's orders were just to keep Mutsu busy, she didn't push herself to the limit.

As for Mutsu, he knew Taki and Mitsuha were doomed, so he was just going through the motions to show his stance.

Taki's ability was to control mist, which had no offensive capabilities and was more of a support skill. Mitsuha's ability was to control threads, which was a decent ability overall.

However, these abilities were no match for Homura's fire powers. Combined with the difference in Ashikabi strength, Homura's unlocked powers far surpassed theirs. It didn't take long for the two girls to be defeated and incapacitated by Homura.

With the two girls defeated, Mutsu had no reason to stay. He quickly took Mikogami and left the battlefield.

Watching Mikogami leave with such reluctance, Sora actually felt a bit sorry for him. The kid had delivered his Sekirei to him time and time again.

Well, since you're so pitiful, I'll leave Mutsu to you in the future. I hope you two can create a legendary bromance that moves heaven and earth…
