The Sekirei’s Covenant

At this time, the boy standing not far away was Oosumi Orihiko. Having read the Sekirei Project, he knew that the girl was the legendary Sekirei, a Sekirei with powerful power.

He hesitated, he really hesitated.

He was afraid of trouble, he didn't want to get involved in such troublesome things, he just wanted to continue living his muddled life, he didn't want to become some Ashikabi and fight with a bunch of perverts!

However, watching the girl being bullied by those people, watching the girl's pleading and sad eyes, he hesitated again.

In the dark, there always seemed to be a voice telling him to hurry over, hurry over. This is an opportunity to change your life, change your destiny, hurry over! Hurry over!

Driven by this voice, Oosumi Orihiko took a step, and prepared to rush over to help the girl.

Seeing the boy who seemed to have finally made up his mind, the girl's heart was filled with joy, and her eyes lit up.

However, the next moment, the boy actually stopped again!

Is this really okay? Is this really okay? What if he changed his destiny, what if he changed his life? Was his current life not good enough? Why should he risk his life to become some Ashikabi ?

No! No! No!

I've had enough of living this muddled life! What's the point of living such a life without a single ripple? I want to change! I want to change!!

Finally understanding, without any more hesitation, Oosumi Orihiko prepared to rush over and save the girl.

However, just then—

"Ah!!!"

Crackle crackle crackle!

A bolt of purple lightning descended from the sky and struck the man who was tearing at the girl's clothes! The man let out a scream, his whole body smoking and blackened by the electricity, and he collapsed to the ground!

But it wasn't over yet. Suddenly, several flames fell down, scalding the others and causing them to scream and run in all directions, ignoring their companion on the ground!

Staring dumbfounded at everything that was suddenly happening before him, Oosumi Orihiko was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two sounds of air being cut, and then two figures descended from the sky, landing in front of the girl.

Coming back to his senses, Oosumi Orihiko saw that it was a young man, about his age, but a very handsome young man. Next to him was another person, but they were wearing a mask, so he couldn't see their face.

These two were none other than Sora and Homura, who had rushed over!

Homura was the guardian of the Sekirei, and usually patrolled the capital to protect the Sekirei who had not yet been awakened. Sora, of course, knew this. The things he had said to Uzumue and the others about worrying about Homura were all nonsense. This guy had a good plan in mind!

Since Homura was the guardian of the Sekirei, wouldn't he be able to easily find the unawakened little Sekirei by following her?

Moreover, when they were in danger, he could play the hero and save the beauty, and then awaken them. Wouldn't that be easy?

Of course, he couldn't tell Homura these things. When he caught up with Homura earlier, he had said that he wanted to help her!

However, it was clear that this bastard was lucky. They had only been out for a short time when they encountered a little Sekirei in distress. Although it was a little strange why she was being bullied by a few ordinary humans, who cared? Such a great opportunity, when would he make his appearance if not now?

So, Sora directly struck down with a bolt of lightning, stunning the man who dared to touch his pre-ordered Sekirei.

Homura had originally planned to assess the situation first, but since Sora had already made a move, she had no choice but to follow suit.

And so, there was the scene from before.

"Hey, little Sekirei, are you okay?" Looking at the beautiful little Sekirei in front of him, Sora was overjoyed.

Like Musubi, she was wearing shrine maiden attire, but Musubi's was a mini-skirt style, while hers was a traditional style.

Different types, but both were very cute!

"I'm… I'm okay, thank you! Um, you, are you Ashikabi -sama?" Looking at the young man who had suddenly appeared before her, the girl suddenly felt her heart beating faster.

Because of the golden Sekirei crest, the girl felt an incomparably affectionate aura from Sora. Moreover, her heart was beating faster, and she felt like something inside her was about to jump out!

The girl knew that this was what would happen when she met her destined Ashikabi -sama.

However, what she didn't understand was that she had clearly felt the presence of the boy not far away earlier, so why was it suddenly this young man in front of her now?

But none of that mattered anymore. The feeling that this young man gave her was many times stronger than that of the dazed boy, and at this moment, she had almost completely recognized Sora!

"Hehe, that's right, I'm Ashikabi ! Hello, little Sekirei, my name is Sora, and this next to me is No. 6 Homura, the guardian of the Sekirei, and you?" Smiling, Sora extended a hand to help the girl up, and said.

When her hand touched Sora's, the girl's mind was suddenly shaken, and two red blushes floated on her face again.

"Hello, Sora-sama, Homura-sama, I am No. 87, Kaho." Standing up, the girl who called herself Kaho gratefully bowed to the two of them to thank them.

Looking at each other, Homura and Sora both saw a trace of surprise in each other's expressions. They were both naturally aware of the incident from back then, and they didn't expect to encounter another kidnapped child besides Musubi here!

Sora had heard Musubi mention Kaho before. The two of them had grown up together in MBI since they were young, and were very good friends. No wonder their clothing styles were so similar.

Coming back to her senses, Homura seemed to remember something, and then said:

"You're too careless, I've been observing you for days, how could you be bullied by a few ordinary people just now?"

"I, I…" Seeming not to know how to answer, Kaho was a little tongue-tied, but her gaze would occasionally drift towards Oosumi Orihiko not far away.

Sora had naturally discovered Oosumi Orihiko's presence long ago, and had also sensed that he possessed the power of the Ashikabi . He could have waited a little longer before making a move, but it was because he saw this brother preparing to make a move that he had no choice but to take the lead.

Sekirei are all very emotional. Usually, if you save them, they will be grateful to you. If you possess the constitution of an Ashikabi and have love for them, they will sense it, and will not hesitate to form a contract with you, just like when Sora awakened Musubi back then.

Therefore, for his own happiness, Sora had no choice but to say sorry to this brother. If he had let him save Kaho, where would his share be now!

Besides, if he hadn't hesitated himself, Sora wouldn't have had the chance to take the lead.

Kaho couldn't explain the previous events well either. She couldn't say something like, "I was waiting for that boy over there to come and awaken me," right? Now that she had recognized Sora, it was even more impossible for her to say it.

"Sora-sama, I would like to ask you to become my Ashikabi -sama, and fight with you. Therefore, please awaken me!"

The girl was also a decisive person. Although she was a little embarrassed, since she had recognized Sora, she would not hesitate. Under Sora and Homura's surprised expressions, she directly spoke.

Looking at the girl's pleading expression, Sora was overjoyed, thinking to himself, "Little Sekirei, little Sekirei, I've been waiting for you to say those words!"

Without avoiding anything, a smile appeared on Sora's face, and he directly answered the other party with action.

Walking forward, Sora kissed the girl's cherry lips.

Under the dumbfounded gazes of Homura and Oosumi Orihiko on the side, Sora and Kaho kissed each other. A dazzling light radiated from their bodies, and a pair of light wings several meters long spread out behind Kaho, while a red Sekirei crest appeared on the back of her neck.

No. 87, Kaho, awakened!

"Ashikabi -sama…" Her face still flushed slightly, but undoubtedly the girl was very happy at this moment.

Finally, she had found the Ashikabi -sama she had been searching for, he was so handsome, so gentle…

Gently releasing the girl, listening to the sound of sirens coming from afar, Sora knew that this was not a place to stay for long. He said something to Homura, and then took Kaho and flashed away.

As for Oosumi Orihiko, from the moment he hesitated and Sora took the lead, his existence was destined to be ignored. MBI would naturally take care of the rest.

Returning to his home in a daze, Oosumi Orihiko's mind was blank.

Although life was still the same as before, he had lost nothing, and nothing had changed.

However, Oosumi Orihiko always felt that he had lost something, something very important, something that could change his destiny.

Was it that Sekirei? A bitter smile appeared on his face.

He had finally made up his mind to change his life, but before he could even put it into practice, someone else had taken the lead.

Thinking about it now, he was really hot-headed at the time, and would make such a foolish decision.

It was ridiculous, someone like him, also thinking about fighting, thinking about changing his destiny!

But why, even though this was the life that belonged to him, this was normal, why did he still feel empty and lost in his heart?

Oosumi Orihiko, you are truly an incorrigible person!

The phone rang, and when he opened it, the caller ID was MBI.

If it were anyone else, they would probably be startled, but Oosumi Orihiko had no emotion at all.

So what if it was MBI? He had read their top-secret files last time, and nothing had happened!

After pressing the answer button, a voice came from the other end. A voice familiar to anyone from the Shinto Teito, no, one might even say to anyone on Earth:

"Young man, it's a pity. At the crossroads of fate, your hesitation caused you to miss your chance. Now, I'll give you two choices: first, be prosecuted by MBI for illegal intrusion and spend the rest of your life in prison; second, use your excellent hacking skills to serve MBI for life, and guarantee with your life and the lives of all those important to you that you will never betray MBI."

"A choice of two, young man. Which will you choose?"

The phone was silent for a full three minutes. Oosumi Orihiko didn't say a word in rebuttal. From the moment he clicked on the classified document, he had already resigned himself to this.

Well, anyway, someone like him would have lived an empty life. It wouldn't matter to be someone's dog.

Finally, he spoke:

"I choose the second."

With that simple answer, Oosumi Orihiko hung up the phone, gazing silently at the bustling Shinto Teito outside the window…
