Kuno truly lived up to her name; she was utterly useless. Seeing Ya Yu holding a blood-dripping katana, her face gradually darkening as she approached, Kuno cried loudly in fear.
"Heh heh, a weakling like you doesn't deserve to live. Let me stop your functions!"
Ya Yu gave a sinister smile, gripped the katana in her hand, and thrust it directly towards Kuno's chest.
Rustle, rustle~
Ya Yu only heard the trees on both sides of the street swaying, and in a flash, two large fireballs shot out from between the trees.
"I thought you wouldn't dare to come out?"
Ya Yu twisted her body, flicked her wrist, and unleashed a sword qi strike, forcefully extinguishing the two fireballs.
At this moment, a silver-haired young man with half his face covered and a handsome appearance jumped down from the tree, landing right beside You Jiali and Kuno.
When You Jiali saw the "handsome guy," her eyes immediately lit up. Having no immunity to handsome men, she was so excited that she temporarily forgot the pain in her shoulder.
"Oh, it's No. 6. Do you want to play with me too?"
Ya Yu narrowed her eyes, looking coldly at Homura.
"I am a Sekirei's guardian. I can hardly allow your act of slaughtering Sekirei."
Homura stood ready, two spheres of yellow flame coalescing in her hands. She had heard rumors of the Punishment Force's cruel methods in the past, and now, having personally witnessed Ya Yu slay Mi Yu, she was even more convinced that she must save Kuno, who had not yet undergone her wing-becoming.
"She is the legendary Black Sekirei. You two won't be able to help here. Hurry and go!" Homura said sternly to the two behind her.
"Mm, be careful."
Yukari gave Homura a grateful look, then carried the frail Kuno under one arm. She truly was a wild child; Yukari, a girl, was able to run like the wind while carrying Kuno, who weighed over eighty catties. With a whoosh, she kicked up dust and ran away.
"You'll regret letting them escape."
Ya Yu opened her cold, emotionless eyes, stepped forward, and unleashed a diagonal slash.
The blade light flashed, and Homura hastily dodged to the side, but a cut still appeared on her arm.
Ya Yu's figure flickered, arriving at Homura's side, and slashed down towards her thigh. Although Ya Yu had the strength to kill Homura in one strike, she was like a cat playing with a mouse, continuously tormenting Homura's body during the battle.
Minutes later, Homura's arms, thighs, and abdomen were covered in several bloody gashes. Just as Ya Yu grew tired of this boring game and prepared to deliver a fatal blow, a loud bang was heard.
Homura's internal energy went berserk, and suddenly, several meters of red flames erupted from her body, soaring into the sky and causing the surrounding ground to heat up rapidly.
Ya Yu lightly leaped backward, easily dodging the flames from Homura's body. Homura, however, cried out in pain, continuously summoning massive fireballs and smashing them towards Ya Yu.
...
In the courtyard of Izumo Inn, Yue Hai was dueling Akitsu, vying for the right to sleep in Lin Feng's arms that night.
At this moment, a huge pillar of fire suddenly appeared in the distant sky. Although it was a bright and sunny morning, the red pillar of fire was exceptionally dazzling.
When Yue Hai saw the enormous pillar of fire, her delicate brows furrowed slightly. Only her nemesis, Homura, could produce such a dazzling pillar of fire. Had her opponent's ability gone out of control again?
Lin Feng, who was beside her, also recognized that it was Homura's abnormality, so he paused Yue Hai and Akitsu's match. He took Xiao Jie and Yue Hai with him to the location where the pillar of fire soared into the sky...
On the other side, hearing Xiao Jie's voice from afar, Ya Yu frowned. The katana in her hand had already been melted by Homura's high-temperature fireballs, and she couldn't defeat her opponent quickly.
Ya Yu looked at Homura, who was engulfed in raging flames, and narrowed her eyes. The time was not yet ripe, and Ya Yu still wanted to maintain the image of a kind and amiable elder sister in front of Xiao Jie. So, she stopped Entanglement ing with Homura, lightly leaped with her legs, and disappeared among the tall buildings.
In a moment, Yue Hai was the first to arrive in front of the masked youth.
At this moment, her expression was so pained, and the raging flames engulfing her body seemed to completely consume her flesh.
"If this continues, I'm afraid I won't last even another minute. At least I saved that child. That child... and the other children I protected, if they were to meet a Wei Ya. I... would be satisfied, but... I couldn't personally eliminate Yu Zhong."
The flames on her body became even more violent. In an instant, her upper shirt, along with the bandages on her chest, burned to ashes, completely exposing her body.
Beneath her handsome face, what was originally a flat chest now revealed two fair, fleshy mounds. And their size could already rival Hibiki's B-cup breasts. However, Homura didn't want these two lumps of flesh.
"Yu Zhong Guang Ren, even if I die, I will curse you in hell..."
Her body temperature was getting higher and higher, exceeding her endurance limit.
"What are you doing? Didn't I tell you not to stop!"
A massive ball of water descended from the sky, temporarily extinguishing the flames on Homura's body. But her internal power had completely gone berserk, and mere water could no longer put it out.
"Yue Hai, why are you here?!"
Looking at the Water Sekirei descending from the sky, Homura frantically stretched out her arm to cover that white, greasy mass.
"You... you're actually a woman! How dare you deceive me for so long!"
Homura's movement was a step too slow, and Yue Hai still saw that thing. She was immediately stunned. She had fought Homura so many times, yet only today did she realize she was Kagari.
"My body is so strange, it's all because of Yu Zhong Guang Ren's trickery! He adjusted my body... into a special body that changes gender according to the Wei Ya's will."
Homura said, flushed with anger and shame.
"Hmm... So you've met your Wei Ya, then? Why haven't you undergone your wing-becoming yet?"
Yue Hai asked with concern.
"My existence was a mistake from the very beginning. Even if I'm burned to ashes, I will not become anyone's Sekirei!"
Homura looked at her, replying resolutely.
"Your idea is utterly absurd!"
Yue Hai put her hands on her hips, looking at Homura in front of her, as if seeing her past self who disliked Wei Ya. But only after being with Lin Feng did she experience what true happiness was.
Just by being by his side, her heart felt satisfied. Her body after wing-becoming was also several times stronger than before.
"I used to dislike Wei Ya very much, but after wing-becoming, I understood how blissful it is to be in sync with Wei Ya-sama. The true nature of Sekirei is love, and love makes us stronger. So Homura, hurry and undergo your wing-becoming. Then, let's have a proper showdown and see who is the strongest Sekirei."
"Wing-becoming? What a joke! How could I be wing-become by a man!"
The emotional Homura waved her hands vigorously in the air. Her heart began to stir uneasily, first because she saw Yue Hai's expression full of happiness, and second because of the arrival of that man...
"Wow, Kagari is actually a girl!"
Xiao Jie exclaimed in surprise when she saw Homura's bulging chest.
"Kagari... are you okay?"
At this moment, a familiar male voice sounded beside her, and Homura's eyes instantly widened.
"Don't look... don't look at my deformed body."
Homura's pretty face flushed with shame, and she tightly covered her breasts with both hands, retreating step by step. The person she least wanted to see right now was Lin Feng.
"Kagari, your body isn't as dirty as you say... To me, it's beautiful."
Lin Feng strode up to Homura, unafraid of the rolling heat emanating from her, and directly embraced her.
"...No, don't touch my body...!"
Homura tried to resist slightly but was held firmly in Lin Feng's arms. It turned out Lin Feng's shoulders were so broad, unexpectedly solid.
No! Just kidding, what does he want to do?! However, Homura could only scream internally, unable to express it in actual words.
Because Lin Feng was gazing at Homura with a deep, affectionate look.
"I never thought Kagari would be so cute."
Lin Feng gently stroked Homura's face, sighing with emotion as he praised her.
Homura didn't dare meet Lin Feng's eyes, turning her head as she said, "I... I don't need your sympathy."
Homura, who hated men, originally thought she could calmly deal with Lin Feng, but she never expected it to be impossible.
"Everything I said is true. I regret not discovering your beauty sooner."
Lin Feng's breath brushed against her neck, and Homura couldn't help but gasp. Just being held, her heart felt like it was about to burst, and her body was soft and weak.
"Kagari, your body is very hot... Let me help you."
The atmosphere was set, and Lin Feng slowly began to lower his head. Immediately, Homura nervously turned her face away.
Lin Feng frowned slightly. He pinched Homura's chin, then bit her lips, his tongue gradually slipping between Homura's lips.
Instantly, Homura's eyes widened, seemingly protesting Lin Feng's forceful kiss. Wuwu... So... So mean, she was Sekirei without her consent.
Before she could protest, a red Sekirei Pattern appeared on her back, and the flames on her body condensed into three pairs of fiery wings on her back.
As the Sekirei completed and the heat scorching her body, all the stinging pain disappeared. The once unruly power and the body's agility were completely assimilated. Indeed, just as Yue Hai had said, after establishing a connection with the Wei Ya, she could feel the other party's abundant love in her heart.
Her initial resistance to Lin Feng seemed to become a distant past the moment she was Sekirei.
Sigh, Homura sighed. She felt that being forcefully kissed no longer mattered. She was already his Sekirei; dwelling on it now would be like an idiot.
"You will take responsibility, right?" Homura raised her blushing cheeks, looking at the dominant Lin Feng with a hint of resentment.
"Responsibility?" Lin Feng, who was already skilled at charming girls, took off his outer coat, placed it on Homura's shoulders, and said affectionately, "I will always be by your side."
Another kiss, a gentle tap of his tongue, and he pried open Homura's teeth.
Their tongues intertwined tightly, leaving Homura utterly dizzy from the kiss. The wet kiss after Sekirei was completely different from before. Homura, whose hearts were now connected, could feel their souls merging through their tongues.
Gradually, Homura's eyes became hazy as she immersed herself in the passionate kiss. Her hands actively embraced Lin Feng's waist, and her small tongue awkwardly responded.
"I did tell you to be Sekirei, but you... You actually dared to... kiss... kiss... kiss my husband!"
Yue Hai, who had just been coolly advising Homura, now resembled a furious lioness, her golden hair standing on end from anger. She shouted loudly at the two passionately kissing.
"Hehe, Feng Feng actually Sekirei the special Homura."
In the secret room of Izumo Inn, A Song smiled as she watched the three bickering on the screen. With Homura joining them, they now had a greater chance of reaching Mt. Song.
