The rest of the journey was her trying to make conversation with me. I tried my best to talk to her, but she is a stranger. You know the whole stranger danger thing? Well, it's doubly dangerous when she has a freaking weapon! She could kill me if she really wanted to kill me! That thing is… whoa!
When it was my stop, I got off quickly and so did she! I know she is going to the hospital but… damn, does she have to follow me? S-She's very beautiful and all but with that spear, I feel a little uneasy. Isn't it understandable that I would feel like that!? That spear looks like it could impale me at any...
"Halt! Sekirei No. 78, Nanami!"
Eh? Whose voice was that? I looked around, but the girl next to me had a stiff expression. What's wrong with her all of a sudden?
"Hey! I'm talking to you here, Nanami!"
I looked around, but then stopped when Nanami-san drew her weapon! Oh no! She's going to kill me after all! I knew it! I am going to be minced meat to the beauty girl who has a large spear and people don't seem to question it!
"No. 16!"
No. 16? Why are they going by numbers? The strange voice said something about Nanami-san being No. 78? And what's with the Sekirei thing? I heard it again. What the hell is a Sekirei?
Nanami-san, who is beside me, seems to be looking at someone. So I turned my attention and saw… a tall woman who was on a lamppost. Way taller than I am. But she has some good balance. I don't think I would be able to stand on a lamppost like that.
She has long dark green hair and blue eyes. A different shade of blue to my own. More like sky blue. She has on a tight blue and white belly top, revealing some of her cleavage! D-Damn those things are huge! B-But, that's not what I should be looking at right now! The girl also has a weapon… okay. Why is it that today, I've met two girls that carry weapons? Seriously, is it like a new thing in Shinto Teito to carry weapons around?
"No. 16? Nanami-san, you know this woman?"
Nanami-san stopped looking at… whatever her name is and looked at me, with a small, sad nod. Why is she sad?
"S-She's trying to terminate me. T-That's why I bumped into you before Hidaka-sama. She's trying to take me out of the game so there's less competition later on."
Take her out of the game? Terminate her? This girl wants to kill Nanami-san!? W-Why would she want to do that!? O-Okay, she carries a spear but that girl has a staff. Why should they be… game? Sounds like some kind of manga or something. Two girls fighting for a game.
"Oh, No. 78, is this boy your chosen Ashikabi? Or, is it that you haven't been winged yet?"
Okay, people need to stop saying things about things I don't understand! Like Ashikabi! What's an Ashikabi!? And winged? Winged? She isn't a… bird? That's the first thing that came to mind. Yeah… I'm in crazy land. That bump into before knocked me out and I am secretly in a coma or something… I really do like to imagine stuff huh… b-but...
"I… don't think y-you should t-try and h-hurt this girl..." I spoke in a small voice to the girl who has a staff. However, she scoffed at the idea.
"Seriously? A human telling me what to do?"
A human… isn't she human? No, she's some space alien sent to kill mankind. Yeah right! She's playing some mind game with me! But as I thought that, the woman jumped down from the lamppost and pointed her spear at me! W-Wait! Hold on! Don't kill me! I'm just an innocent and shy teenager!
"N-No. 16! Leave him alone! He's just a bystander! If you intend to fight then let's go to somewhere more not out in the open!"
"Nah, for some reason, his face really pisses me off. It's too adorable. It annoys me that he's so cute!"
Right… so she hates me because I have a cute face apparently? And that's my fault, how? I haven't done anything to her! The woman spins her staff around and points it at me!
"S-So if he is cute! I-I'm not going to let you hurt him, Sekirei No. 16!"
"Well, you don't have a choice! Hyaaaaaaaa!"
The woman charged at me with speeds I can't comprehend! I-I think I'm about to die! Well Onee-chan, it seems that I will be dying before you. Sorry Onee-chan, I wish I could've...
I closed my eyes. Waiting for my end. I know I couldn't move out of the way. I didn't even see her coming at me.
GIN!
...What was that noise? Metal hitting metal? I cracked open my eyes… Nanami-san!
"I said you won't harm him you bitch!"
I-I didn't think I would hear her swear. Nanami-san has defended me with her spear. She pushes the No. 16 girl backwards and makes a slash with her spear, coming in from the right. However the staff girl jumped out of the way, before it hit her! Dammit!
"Heh! So, you'll defend someone who isn't your Ashikabi huh!?"
Nanami-san didn't reply and simply put away her spear! D-Don't put away… she turned to me and came really close to me.
"Hidaka-sama, do you trust me?"
"Erm… okay...?"
She suddenly lifted me up and threw me over her shoulder! Uwah! What is she going to do!?
"I'm not letting you go!"
The staff girl charged but then Nanami-san jumped away from the attack! Uwah! I'm actually really above the ground right now! If she dropped me from this height then I would die! I seriously would die!
"Oh no you don't!"
The girl with the staff then jumped up into the air! If she catches us then… I don't want to think about it! Nanami-san lands on the ground with me after jumping a fair distance away. She then jumped again as the other girl landed! There's no way that we'd be able to… outrun her… okay. Even if Onee-chan will hate me for throwing it away...
"I'm coming for you!"
The staff girl once again jumps up into the air, after us! However, I take out something from my bag...
"EAT CAKE!"
Splatter!
"Iyaaaaaaaaa! I got cake in my eyes!"
The staff girl fell to the ground as the cake hit her in the face. Using this chance, Nanami-san jumps away with me over her shoulder! She jumps away until that girl becomes a spec, then disappears from view altogether. Uwah… that was… uwah.
Nanami-san, after making sure that we are a certain distance away from the psycho with the staff, puts me down. I didn't like that. But...
"Nanami-san… you saved me? Why?"
"Hidaka-sama… I erm… I know this is a little strange but you know… I have erm… I want to become your Sekirei! Will you please become my Ashikabi!?"
"W-What does that mean?"
Nanami-san got too close to me, and placed her hands on my cheeks, blushing immensely. My own cheeks are burning from her touching me. I've never had a girl so close to me before, besides Onee-chan that is.
"It doesn't matter right now. Hidaka-sama is… I am reacting to Hidaka-sama. I didn't know it would be so intense. I don't mind if Hidaka-sama is my Ashikabi."
"I-I don't..."
Before I could finish, Nanami-san moved closer to my face, her lips inches away from my own! W-Wait! If she kisses me then I will be losing my first kiss to… her lips overlapped mine! H-Her lips are on mine! Her lips… the smell of her hair is hitting my nostrils… it's intoxicating… I-I can't...
Shine!
That light! Some light is coming out of her… back? Neck? I can't see from my position. The light from her wings are… blue in colour. A bright blue colour that shines very brightly and that bright burst of light has turned into a shape. Wings. There are wings coming out of her back.
She breaks the kiss as the wings disappear. Ehehe… what just...
"I am Sekirei No. 78, Nanami. At your service Ashikabi-sama!"
"I… erm… I..."
That's all I could say before it became black… I just kissed a girl… and something magical just happened...!
