Chapter 27: 27 Water Sekirei
"Who? Who are you?"
"I will kill you! Kill you!"
A gray sky, a gray city, even the mind is gray. A tall figure appeared in Sora's vision, suddenly turned around and said she would kill him!
"Haa… haa…" Suddenly sitting up straight, panting heavily, looking at Kusa who was still reading comic books on the side, Sora realized it was just a dream.
Wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, Sora was ashamed, thinking that she was a small expert now, but she was still scared by a dream like this.
Damn it, it's too embarrassing! Too embarrassing!!
Sora naturally knew that this was an anomaly caused by a certain Sekirei reacting with her, but the scene in the dream was too blurry, and she didn't see clearly which great god was so awesome. Other Sekireis were supposed to be madly in love with their Ashikabi, but she was good, she even wanted to kill her Ashikabi!
The two of them hadn't even met yet, not to mention love, but where did such deep hatred come from?!!
Uh, maybe it was precisely because the two of them hadn't met yet, so the other party was impatient and resented her, so she developed hatred?
Well, Sora thought it made sense, anyway, she was free today, so she would go out and find this poor little Sekirei who was waiting for her so much that she hated her!
…
"This is bad, Sora, if what you said is true, then the person you dreamed of must be her!" Inside the secret room 201, the bespectacled Matsu pulled up a file based on Sora's description, which contained information about a Sekirei.
Glaring speechlessly at Matsu, who was obviously gloating, Sora also stopped the action of teasing Kusa in her hand and looked at the computer screen.
Although it was just a photo, Sora was still shocked. Not to mention being beautiful, almost none of the Sekireis were ugly. Each of the Sekireis she had collected so far was a top-notch beauty, and even the loli Kusa would definitely be a beauty in the future.
However, this girl in the picture was a little different. She was not only beautiful, but also exuded a unique temperament.
With her arms crossed, her cool expression seemed to disdain everything, and at a glance, she was the kind of independent woman who would not be easily conquered!
There's an inherent "cheapness" in human nature. Just because the other party is difficult to conquer, even spouting bold words of wanting to kill him in her dreams, Sora, that big animal, gets excited and wants to conquer her even more!
"No.9, Tsukiumi, the water-manipulating Sekirei, is famously disgusted with Ashikabi. This is terrible! Someone like that is reacting; this will seriously damage her pride!"
"Musubi, how about we stop? If this continues, you'll be killed by her!"
With a face full of black lines, Sora's fist slammed hard on Matsu's head.
"Little Glasses, you have too little faith in your Ashikabi-sama! Stop playing? If we don't play, we'll all starve!"
"Hmph! Hates Ashikabi, does she? That's because she hasn't met me yet. Seeing the ugly faces of those other Ashikabi, that's why she hates them."
"Once she meets this great one, and bathes in the sunlight of my love, she'll repent! So, quickly find out where she is now; I'm going to bring her back immediately!"
Watching Sora's smug and self-satisfied face, Matsu wanted to retort, but thinking about the fist still looming over her head, she shamelessly chose to submit.
"Big brother, don't worry! Kusa will protect you! I won't let that bad sister bully you!" The little loli was absolutely supportive of Sora; in her eyes, anyone who wanted to bully her big brother was an enemy. Patting her flat chest, she said confidently.
Pulling the little loli back into his arms, Sora said with some embarrassment:
"Well, Kusa, you're still young; let big brother protect you. Besides, your big brother is actually pretty strong, haha…"
"Ah? I can't find her. Then she can only be in the few areas of the Shinto Teito that can't be monitored by satellite. This is troublesome." Matsu's voice came again.
Frowning, Sora didn't expect this result.
"Forget it, I'll go out and look for her myself."
"Sora, Tsukiumi is very strong, you should bring Kusa and Musubi with you?" Although Matsu was usually a bit thoughtless, she was actually very concerned about Sora, and said with some worry.
Feeling somewhat tempted, Sora shook his head and said:
"No, since this Sekirei hates Ashikabi so much, it must be solved by me, an Ashikabi, personally."
"Besides, I'm not a pushover. Even if I can't beat her, I can't really be killed by her. If you're really worried, I'll take a monitor with me, and you can use the satellite cannon to support me when I'm in real danger."
Since Sora had decided, Matsu knew she couldn't change his mind, and only fully supporting him was the right thing to do.
Moreover, both the little loli and Matsu, looking at Sora's persistence and concern for their Sekirei, had a gleam in their eyes.
…
Sora walked out of Izumo Inn alone, without telling anyone, carrying a monitor as insurance.
Although Sora had been working hard to cultivate for many years, and now had considerable strength, even surpassing some combat-type Sekirei, Sora would not be arrogant enough to think that he was stronger than these Sekirei.
Sekirei all have very powerful abilities, especially these single-digit Sekirei, whose power far exceeds other Sekirei!
What's more, this No.9 Tsukiumi also has the ability to control water, which makes her even more difficult to deal with.
Roses are beautiful, but unfortunately, they have thorns.
However, since the other party is a beautiful little Sekirei, and is destined to be with him, he would have to bring her back today even if he had to pull out all the thorns!
Through telepathic communication, Sora dispatched all the Sekirei from his secret base to investigate Tsukiumi's whereabouts in several areas of the Shinto Teito that could not be monitored by satellite. At the same time, Sora also instructed them to only investigate and let him personally take action.
Steel himself, Sora thought that at worst, he would just bleed a little. He didn't believe he couldn't take down a little Sekirei!
He carefully considered which of his current abilities could restrain the other party, but after thinking about it, besides physical skills, he only had Kusa's wood attribute and Hikari and Hibiki's lightning attribute.
In front of water, physical skills are definitely useless. Lightning is also useless; the water Tsukiumi controls is pure water condensed from her own power, which doesn't conduct electricity at all. As for wood, it's slightly better, but it can't restrain water either.
After thinking it over, Sora realized that he had no advantage at all!
It would have been great if he had Akitsu's ice attribute, which would have perfectly countered the other party's water, but the problem was that Akitsu's Sekirei core had a congenital defect and could not be awakened, so he didn't get the ice attribute ability at all!
Helplessly lamenting that he had too few Sekirei, Sora thought that if he had more abilities, he wouldn't be in such an awkward situation.
However, Sora forgot that there were not many Sekirei with attribute powers in the first place, and they were not so easy to find!
Before long, information came from Hikari and Hibiki through the golden Sekirei crest, that they had found Tsukiumi in the area they were responsible for. Although he still hadn't thought of a countermeasure, Sora was forced to act, so he had to take it one step at a time, and with a flash, he rushed to that area.
…
"Master!"
As soon as he arrived, Hikari and Hibiki descended from the sky and appeared in front of Sora, but looking at their wet and somewhat disheveled appearance, it was clear that they had already fought with the other party.
"What happened?" Sora asked with a frown.
He knew his Sekirei very well, especially Hikari and Hibiki, who had followed him for so many years. If it was his order, they would never disobey.
The two girls exchanged a glance, and the older sister, Hikari, replied:
"Master, we have only been monitoring her as you instructed, but we didn't expect this single-digit Sekirei to be very strong. We were discovered by her. However, we still followed your orders and did not engage in combat with her, only running away. At her speed, she should be here soon."
Nodding, Sora expressed his satisfaction with their actions.
"You two step back. Next, I will fight her. If I am not in any life-threatening danger, you are not allowed to interfere."
Since the other party was a very individualistic Sekirei and hated his Ashikabi, Sora never intended to resolve the situation peacefully from the beginning. Only through battle could they communicate their feelings.
Hikari and Hibiki had already witnessed Tsukiumi's strength. Although they were a little worried, as Sora's Sekirei and maids, their master's orders were everything, and they would naturally not resist.
Moreover, Sora had said that they could intervene if he was in life-threatening danger, so there was nothing to worry about.
"Yes!" Answering at the same time, the two girls disappeared from the spot with a flash.
Just as Hikari and Hibiki had left, a voice suddenly came from far to near, and a figure quickly jumped down from the sky:
"Damn it, those two lightning-wielding guys, stop and fight me fairly!"
Taking a step back with a jump, Sora raised a smile at the corner of his mouth as he watched the approaching figure.
"Tsukiumi, the Water Sekirei, you've finally come!"
