Chapter 32: Sekirei No. 7 Akitsu
( Yuuki's POV )
When I got home Matsu came up to me and told me about what happened while I was out, I vaguely remember something about the discarded number among the Sekireis but at this point in the game, I didn't think that she would still be alone.
Yuuki: nice to meet you akitsu, I'm Kurokawa Yuuki.
Akitsu: ...Hello.
When I approach Akitsu, Sif who was in her arms jumps towards me and she looks a bit sad to be separated from her, I introduced myself casually but she was a little nervous and it took her a few seconds to answer me, But before I can say anything else, my mother has something more important to say.
Yuna: Yuuki-chan could you take Akitsu-chan shopping for new clothes.
Yuuki: eh, ok I guess.
Yuna: Yuuki~
Yuuki: oh you mean now.
Yuna: Of course I mean now, the poor girl has nothing to wear, she needs new clothes now.
Yuuki: ok, I'm going to change my clothes first.
This will be a good opportunity to talk to Akitsu but first I need to change, I was still wearing my disciplinary squad uniform.
//////////
Shortly after we left the house I was hoping for a good opportunity to talk to Akitsu as she seemed a bit nervous, but to my surprise, she was the one who started talking.
Akitsu: ... Yuuki there is something I want to tell you.
I turn around and see Akitsu with her expressionless face but with a rosy color on her cheeks.
Akitsu: without knowing anything about me your mother helped me, gave me clothes, and even offered me a place to live, That's why even though I can't be your Sekirei I want to fight alongside you, even if I'm defective, I can fight.
' defective? '
Yuuki: listen, my mother is someone impulsive and when she decides something it is difficult to make her change her mind and I am similar to her in that aspect, If she decided to help you, you don't have to fight for me to pay your debt, but if you still want to fight, I won't stop you. Just don't call yourself defective again, OK?
Akitsu doesn't say anything for a few seconds and just answers with a nod, looks like I'll have to wait to talk about her condition
Yuuki: Well, then come on, we have clothes to buy.
I take Akitsu's hand and head to the store where Vivi works.
//////////
Arriving at the store I see a beautiful woman with shoulder-length blonde hair with spiral tips and emerald eyes, Viviane, Joyce's younger sister and the second oldest of the sisters.
Viviane: hello Yuuki, what brings you here today.
Yuuki: hey Vivi, could you help Akitsu here, she needs a new wardrobe.
When Vivi sees Akitsu, her expression turns mischievous and a huge smile appears on her face.
Viviane: Ummm I see, don't worry I'll find nice clothes for her.
Vivi takes Akitsu and I take the opportunity to buy some clothes for myself, and shortly after I finish choosing, Vivi approaches me and without saying anything she pushes me towards the changing rooms, she gives me a thumbs up and leaves me alone.
Akitsu: ... Yuuki, are you there?
Yuuki: Yeah, I'm here, do you need something?
Akitsu: No, I just wanted you to be close.
Yuuki: ok, I'm not going anywhere.
being the professional that she is, all the clothes that Vivi chose for Akitsu looked good on her but since she was a bit nervous I can only see Akitsu in a couple of outfits, after buying a lot of clothes, again, we left the store to go home,
But before my hand could touch the store door, Vivi took it.
Viviane: Yuuki, don't you think it's unfair that your girlfriends always model clothes for you?
Viviane: You know, I'm also confident in choosing men's clothing.
I can't say no when I can almost see stars in her eyes and even Akitsu showed a bit of anticipation on her face, It took half an hour and many photos before the two of them felt completely satisfied.
Yuuki: don't do anything weird with those pictures, ok.
Viviane: Don't worry, I'm only going to send them to my sisters and your girlfriends.
Yuuki: that's ok I guess.
//////////
Today I received several surprises and I just wanted to take a bath and sleep, tomorrow I have important things to discuss with Akitsu and Chiho, but this day still had a couple of surprises for me.
Chiho: welcome home Yuuki
Yuuki: I'm home, what are you doing out here.
Returning home I can see Chiho, Uzume, and the loyal guardian of this house Sif, surrounding a package that had just been sent to our house.
Uzume: here.
Uzume approaches me and hands me a letter addressed to me.
a mysterious package and a letter specially addressed to me, this has Minaka written all over it.
| Hello Yuuki, I hope you are spending your time productively, I certainly am.
We didn't work together for a long time, but that short time was fun for me and that's why I want to give you a farewell gift, I think these will be useful to you for a long time.
I can hardly contain my excitement at the thought of the moment all eight ashikabi set foot in the final stadium, Don't even worry, I'll personally make sure it's an epic showdown.
And with that, I say goodbye, good luck Yuuki. |
While I was reading Minaka's letter, Uzume had already opened the package that contained clothes, but not just any clothes, those were disciplinary squad uniforms, for Uzume, Chiho, and even Akitsu.
Minaka is a strange guy, but when he does things like this I can't help but be a little impressed.
Uzume: cool, are they for us?
Chiho: Uzume, you shouldn't open a package addressed to someone else.
Yuuki: don't worry Chiho, these clothes are for you anyway.
Chiho: really?
I nod to answer Chiho's question and I go to the box to take Akitsu's uniform since she wasn't inspecting the contents of the package like Chiho and Uzume.
Yuuki: I think this one is for you Akitsu.
Akitsu: ...are you sure Yuuki?
Yuuki: definitely.
Akitsu takes the uniform from my hands and she holds it close to her chest, she seemed to want to say something but she still didn't have the confidence to say it.
Yuuki: You have something you want to tell me, right? When you're ready to say it, I'll listen to you.
Akitsu nods and enters the house without saying anything.
//////////
( Akitsu's POV )
while Yuuki and the others were taking a bath I was in my room looking at the disciplinary squad uniform that Yuuki gave me sitting on my bed, Being close to Yuuki made me feel a calm that I had never felt before as if I had found the place where I belong, is this what other sekireis feel when they find their ashikabi?
Although I can't be winged, I want to be his Sekirei, I want this place to be my home and to be part of this family.
No matter what his answer is, I have already decided that I will fight for him, I will protect him with my life in the final phase of the Sekirei plan.
I left my room without any doubt in my mind, towards Yuuki's room, since he had just taken a bath and I wanted to talk to him before going to sleep but to my surprise I found him heading to my room.
Akitsu: Yuuki, there is something I want to tell you.
Yuuki: seriously, me too.
Akitsu: Can I speak first, please.
I put my more serious face and Yuuki nods.
Akitsu: I... You have helped me without knowing anything about me, you make me feel that I belong here... Even if you don't see me the same as the others, I want to be your Sekirei, I want to protect you.
When I finished speaking, Yuuki approaches me and places a glass cone with a pink sphere inside it, which I look at with confusion.
Yuuki: You know, when this game started I made a promise to myself.
Akitsu: promise?
Yuuki: yes, I promised that I would win and let all the sekireis stay with the person they love, that includes you.
Yuuki puts his hands on mine and I feel a strange warmth from the cone he gave me, Yuuki tilts his head towards me and I close my eyes and taste Yuuki's lips.
I feel incredibly happy to kiss Yuuki and that he will accept me, that was enough for me but as we kissed I felt the back of my neck burn and a lot of energy was circulating through my body and when I felt the mark on my forehead disappear I opened my eyes and saw wings of light covering both of us.
I had just been winged by Yuuki, I don't know how it happened but I was happy, I was so happy that I threw myself at Yuuki and he petted my head.
' I finally found my home '
