(Homura P.O.V)
Ah, what a nice day. And a day off from work is always a plus. But I wonder what Hidaka-san is… eh? Why am I thinking about him right now? He's in school right now, I'm sure. He should be anyway... Ugh, it's this stupid heat in my chest. I just can't bring myself to admit it. I can't admit that I'm actually… it's silly.
Sitting outside is fun. I'm so glad that Uzume isn't here. She'd just ruin my peace and quiet. The same for Matsu actually. She usually ruins my fun, no matter what kind of fun I have, she ruins it.
Miya is sweeping at the front of the Inn as always. She seems to be conflicted about something. Ever since last night, I've noticed that she has been avoiding Hidaka-san. And he even asked me about it, but he doesn't know the reason either. I'm sure Matsu knows but I can't bring myself to ask her. It will be like I am admitting to her that I care about him.
I do care about him, it's obvious. He's a nice person and always so helpful. Even when I felt a little unstable because of this...well, because of my body reacting to him, he helped me go to bed, even though he doesn't know that I'm reacting.
Well, he doesn't have much comparison. From what I think he knows, Sekirei feel hot all over their bodies and then they kiss him. I guess that's what I think he knows about reactions.
"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!"
Eh? What was that noise? A scream? Where did it come from? I looked around discreetly but I didn't see anyone. And Miya didn't seem to react either. But the voice did sound familiar...
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I'M SORRY TOTSUKA-SAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"TOTSUKA-KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!"
"UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! HEEEEEEEELP MEEEEEEEEEEE!"
Right… that came from above me! I darted my eyes upwards… aaah! Hidaka-san is falling from the sky! Geez, why is he always in a dangerous situation? My body reacted without my mind even realizing it.
I jumped upwards high, and the Shota boy landed in my arms as we descended to the ground. I don't know how I'm going to explain how I can jump so high, but that's a problem for a few minutes from now.
My feet touched the ground. I then noticed someone coming from the sky… hey, isn't that No. 88? I remember driving off the thunder twins once from her. But, I don't know the other one that she is carrying. I can tell she is a Sekirei, but I don't know what number she is. And, why is she dressed in a school girls uniform? It even has the same logo on the breast pocket blazer that Hidaka-sans blazer has on. A Sekirei attending school? That's… different. I wonder if Takami-san knows about this?
"Kagari-san..." I looked down to see Hidaka-san blushing up at me. "Y-You saved me Kagari-san. How did you do that?"
Yeah, I don't have an answer for you. I became nervous and I couldn't say anything. I am not ready to explain about me being a Sekirei just yet… and maybe I don't have too. Maybe it's a little mean but I can...
"Why were you falling from the sky exactly? And shouldn't you be in school?"
He splutters a little as No. 88 comes over with the other Sekirei girl.
"Totsuka-sama! I am so sorry I knocked the discs!"
"N-No, it's okay Musubi-san. Don't worry about it. See, I'm fine. But those discs..." He turned to the unknown Sekirei girl. "... Know anything about it?"
She shook her head from side to side.
"N-Nope! I don't know what those discs things are!"
He isn't stupid, girl. He has most likely figured it out. So, that's her ability as a Sekirei? Some discs? Does she throw them or does she control them? Either way, she looks a little dangerous, from my perspective anyway.
"I-I see then..." He looks up at me and smiles. "You can let go of me, you know? U-Unless you want to hold me like this?"
I immediately dropped him on his butt with a crash. Ah, I bet that hurt.
"Ow!" He stood up and looked at me. "That hurt Kagari-san."
"Ehehe, sorry about that. You said to let you go."
"B-But!" He then hangs his head low. "Never mind. Ugh, that hurt."
"So, explain why you aren't in school."
He immediately waves his hands in front of his face, but the other Sekirei girl I don't know steps forward.
"A terrorist attack happened! Yes, some crazy people were throwing bombs around and such! So we were sent home!"
"Bombs?" The identified Musubi put a finger to her chin. "So, those girls weren't Seki–+mmmmmmmmmmmm!"
Hehe, Hidaka-san covered her mouth immediately before she said a word. I'm going to guess that she was going to say Sekirei. But, a Sekirei to attack at a school at this time of day. Don't they realize that it would've been packed with innocents?
"Yes, bombs were used at the school like Oriha-san said!"
So her name is Oriha huh. I can ask Takami-san about this. Speaking of Takami-san, I haven't really heard much from her for the past day or two. Usually we talk a number of times during the day, but today… nothing. Maybe she is busy.
"I… see. Bombs huh, then I'm sure it will be on the news."
"M-Most likely Kagari-san!" Then Miya walks up to us and looks at us all with a curious gaze. "Hey Miya..." She walks off without saying a word. "...san. Ehehe, I guess she is a little busy huh."
He seems sad right now. Miya has been acting differently lately. Hmmmm, Miya...
"Totsuka-samaaaaaaaa!"
"Hidaka-saaaaaaaaaaaan!"
"Ah… Master!"
And, income the Sekirei girls of his. They all rush through the gates of Izumo Inn. They all latch onto Hidaka-san, so I take this time to slip away and see what really happened. I'm sure Matsu will know. And she shouldn't question about my motives as it's Sekirei related, not Hidaka-san related.
I walked into the Inn and immediately went for the stairs, but I was stopped before I could even start by Uzume.
"Did I feel Totsuka-chan come back Kagari-chan!?"
How did she know that? Does she have some kind of radar that acts up when Hidaka-san is around? I scrunched up my eyebrows and replied to her.
"Y-Yes." I pointed behind me with my thump. "He's outside, with two new Sekirei. I don't think they have been winged by him though."
"Two Sekirei's that haven't been winged huh. Damn Totsuka-chan, you've got three Sekirei's and now there's three here that aren't winged. No, make that 6 unwinged."
"Six?"
She nodded and pointed to us.
"Me, you, Matsu, Katsuragi-san, Miya, although it's highly unlikely she would let anyone wing her, and those two girls outside. See, six. Oh wait, there's also Kazehana Nee-san as well, that's seven! And that's just here. Although KazehanabNee-san isn't here right now. He already has three Sekirei. Uuuu, makes me feel like I'm reacting sometimes. So strange."
"Uzume..." I raised an eyebrow. "Are you reacting to Hidaka-san?"
"Ehehe~ That's between me myself and I~ I could be reacting to him, or his Onee-chan~ Or someone else you've never met~ You don't know do you~?"
I sweatdropped and dropped my head a little. Why can't she just answer normally?
"I don't know. I'm not a mind reader."
"And you wont~ But, it would be nice if I was huh. He's so cute~ Adorable~ Uuuuu! Totsuka-chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! I'm coming!"
With that, she pushed past me and went outside. Ugh, she's so strange.
"Aaaaah! Uzume-san! Where do you think you're touching!?"
Uzume… that's something that shouldn't be aloud to be unleashed upon the world. I'm sure that she is being lewd right now, and touching his small body… ugh! No, don't think about it!
"Hehehehe~ Totsuka-chan's so cute~"
"Aaaaaaaaah! Uzume-saaaaaaaaan! Please don't take that off!"
What is she taking off!? N-No, don't. I don't want to know! I will only trouble myself if I knew what she was doing. It's best to live in ignorance.
I continued on to Matsu. She better cooperate with me this time. I'm not in a mood for her games. She usually teases me for my supposed reaction to Hidaka-san that isn't so supposed. I walked up the stairs, and made it to Matsu's room.
Knock knock!
I knocked on the door with my hand, then waited for her to reply. The door opened a little after a minute to reveal Matsu…
