I, rather our home was destroyed. And I don't know where we can go. We have been staying in hotels but we can't keep relying on the MBI money card. I wish we could but we can't and now I don't know what we are going to do.
But ever since that incident, I have Nanami-san and Kuno-san both come to school with me, where they wait outside during my classes. I feel kind of bad making them do that all day everyday. They should be able to go and do what they like yet I need a bodyguard. I feel weak, cheap, useless. I never want to feel like that again.
It's all that Toyotama's fault! If she just leaves me alone then I could do what I want without bodyguards and my two Sekirei could go and do what they like also. I wish that I had superpowers also. If I did then I could use them to defend my Sekirei as they defend me. But alas, I don't have any superpowers.
And there's something else that I don't understand. That girl. She has been messaging me ever since that day. Yukari-san. She kept messaging me and made me call her Yukari-san. Even though I don't really know her, she makes me call her Yukari-san instead of her last name, Sahashi-san.
"At least the buses weren't busy, right Totsuka-sama?"
Nanami-san said as we walked inside the hospital, heading towards the staircase.
"Y-Yes, I am glad about that."
Nanami-san smiles at me as Kuno-san tries to smile at me also. At least I have these two. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have these two with me.
We continue inside the hospital until we reach the stairs. We go open the door and start going up the stairs as I wonder about what we're going to do next. What if Toyotama comes for us? Can Nanami-san win against her?
We reach the floor of Onee-chan's room and we all start walking towards Onee-chan's room in the hospital with my two Sekirei who are carrying our suitcases as I have my hands occupied with holding their hands, their idea at that. It isn't like I mind holding their hands as I… like it.
I haven't told her about her apartment being trashed. And the landlord found out, thought that I did it and made me leave anyway. I tried to explain that I didn't do anything but he didn't have any of it. And also he found out about Nanami-san staying there. It was too upsetting. We can't do anything but go from one hotel to the next, and soon, we won't be able to find a hotel room and we will be sleeping on the streets.
But the scariest thing was, Toyotami knew where I lived. How did she know that? Did she follow me at some point? I don't know the reason but she did know where I lived and now we can't go back. I haven't a clue as to what to do next.
I then heard a small noise come from my first Sekirei. It was like a whimper so I turned in her direction to see her sad eyes.
"Totsuka-sama… I… am..."
I squeezed her hand tightly. Nanami-san blames herself for what that Toyotama did. If I ever see her, then I am going to make her regret destroying my home. The home that I put so much effort into and tried my best to make it livable for myself and my Sekirei. And she destroyed it because of a silly game. I mean, why? Why for a disgusting game? What's so important about winning this game? Can we just all coexist with one another?
But I do have a question for Minaka if I ever meet him? Does you get off on something like making innocents fight one another? That's a question I've been asking myself for a while now. And the question I want to ask Minaka and to hear his honest answer. To me, someone who makes people fight like this is highly sadistic, or crazy. He might be the president of MBI, but he might be a complete whack job. But I don't think I will find out the answer, even if I do ever meet him.
"Don't worry Nanami-san. We will find somewhere to live. I just know it. Until then, we will just have to stay positive."
"O-Okay… Totsuka-sama. Again… I am so sorry."
I unlinked our hands then petted her head in a comforting manner. She doesn't need to apologize for anything. It wasn't her fault. She hasn't done anything wrong and I just hope she knows that. I then took her hand again.
"...Mmmmmmmm..."
My other hand is being held by my newest, scared Sekirei, Kuno-san. Kuno-san, the girl in question is a strange girl indeed. She's really scared yet she seems to be very clumsy. She's the… I would say the female version of me but I'm not that clumsy. I think I even saw her trip over a tiny stone yesterday.
"Hidaka-san...w-where are we going...?"
Kuno-san asked me. Haven't I told her yet? I best tell her so she doesn't become nervous. I wish to help her with that, like she can help my own. We can help one another. Plus, she's so cute~! And so is Nanami-san~! I got the cute Sekireis~! But Toyotama. While she might be pretty, inside her is anything but pretty. She's nasty.
She keeps targeting our little group for no reason. There are over 100 more Sekirei out there, so why doesn't she go for someone else? We just want to live a simple life. That's all. Nanami-san doesn't wish to fight and by her own admission, Kuno-san can't fight Sekirei.
I've found out Kuno-san's power. She has the power of Sound. Or would it be called Song? Either way, she uses sound waves from her mouth to confuse her enemy or to block their attacks. But she said that it doesn't do much to stop them.
"We're going to visit my Onee-chan. Today is the day that I visit her. Then we are going to go and find somewhere to live, wherever that may be. Don't worry Kuno-san, Onee-chan is a nice girl and she won't scare you, probably."
I tried to reassure her. I know that Kuno-san is nervous around new people. Or anyone really. And she keeps comparing herself to Nanami-san but I've said that she really shouldn't compare herself to Nanami-san. Nanami-san and her are two completely different but extraordinary people. Well, extraordinary Sekirei I should say. They are my Sekirei so they are amazing!
"O-Okay Hidaka-san!"
"You can call me Totsuka, you know? You don't have to be on a last name basis with me. Please refer to me by my first name Kuno-san."
She gulps down the saliva in her throat and takes a deep breath.
"To...Tot...Totsu… To...Hidaka-saaaaaaaaaaaaan! I can't do something so informal like thaaaaaaaaaaaaaat! I'm sorry Hidaka-san!"
I smiled weakly as she cried. Is this something to cry about? Erm...I shall nod and just go with that for now. She seems to be a little distressed about this whole ordeal. And even yelling about not being able to call me by my first name. Is it all Sekirei? They seem to believe that they are told that they should refer to their Ashikabi by their last name, and be as formal as possible. I don't believe that's true for all Sekireis though.
Toyotama wasn't formal at all. I wonder who her Ashikabi is? I would love to have a chat with that person and tell him or her that their Sekirei is attacking us without provocation. But… would the Ashikabi-san care? Maybe that's the person who tasked Toyotama with the termination of Nanami-san? If that's the case then...I don't know what we will do.
"It seems Kuno-chan is as lively as ever, huh Totsuka-sama?"
"Seems to be. But that's Kuno-san for you, huh."
"Yup! Totsuka-sama, I swear that if Toyotama ever shows her face around us again, I will terminate her for what she has done to you. Destroying your home is unforgivable. I'm just grateful that she didn't destroy that special possession of yours."
"I...If she did then I would kill her myself. But Nanami-san, even if she did do those things to us, I wouldn't like it if you terminated someone. It is… erm..."
I trailed off, not knowing what to say. I know that maybe one day in the future, it might be necessary to terminate a Sekirei, but isn't that kind of like murder? I don't want Nanami-san, or Kuno-san to become murderers. Either way, I wish for Nanami-san and Kuno-san to have a lovely time while with me.
"I know Totsuka-sama. I know what you feel about that particular subject. I will bear that burden for you Totsuka-sama. If we ever have to fight, then let me bear the burden of the fight."
"N-No… I will also bear the burden. Nanami-san… me, you and Kuno-san are partners now so… I wish to also be useful to you..."
I looked into Nanami-san's eyes and she looked back at me, smiling like an Angel. A graceful Angel that mademe feel all good inside. Each time I see Nanami-sans smile, I feel better about everything. Everything melts away instantly.
"Nanami-san..."
"Totsuka-sama..."
Without realizing it, we had started to lean to one another, lips pursed as if they were waiting for pressure to be applied. Nanami-san is so… she's so… Nanami-san is...
"Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Hidaka-saaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!"
""Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!""
Kuno-san got in between us. Kuno-san! I was going to kiss Nanami-san then! I pouted a little but Nanami-san and Kuno-san both hugged me tightly! W-Well, if I get hugged by two cute girls then I'm happy with that!
It was at that time that we reached Onee-chan's room. Since my hands are pretty much occupied, Nanami-san knocked on the door while Kuno-san hid behind me. I don't even know how I am going to explain how I met Kuno-san and what she is to me. Another friend that happens to think I'm her husband?
Nanami-san has pretty much already said that we are married and Kuno-san saying that she doesn't want to be left behind has declared that she is also my wife, but not in front of Nanami-san as she doesn't want the conflict.
