"Hee-hee…. It's only been a moment and you're already ignoring Goku's warning."
Hikari snickered from the side, clearly enjoying the standoff.
"Uh—"
Tsukiumi halted at once and, very carefully, glanced toward Goku…
Good news for her: Goku was happily burying his face in Kazehana's ample boobs, oblivious to the outside world.
"Phew…"
Tsukiumi exhaled in relief.
"You two—how long do you plan to bicker? We're almost back at Izumo Inn. If you make Goku angry again… we won't go easy on you."
Miya turned with a gentle smile—while the faint outline of her Bodhisattva mask flared behind her. Tsukiumi and Hikari felt a chill run down their spines.
"Since Goku asked us to live in peace… then fine, let's drop it," Kazehana murmured, cheeks pink as she looked down at the man in her arms. (Inwardly, though: Ahh, Goku's naughty look is wonderful… I could just eat him up.)
"Mm… s-since Goku has said so… it cannot be helped."
Face blazing, Tsukiumi folded her arms and, with as much dignity as she could manage, declared, "A temporary truce!"
"Ah—Izumo Inn's right there. But listen: there aren't any empty rooms left."
"It's fine! I can share a room with Goku."
"You infuriating woman!"
Bickering all the way, the group entered Izumo Inn.
Meanwhile, back at the battlefield they'd left behind, countless fighter craft descended to secure the area and recover the defeated Sekirei.
In the MBI president's office, Minaka frowned over the incident report.
"Two hundred and eighty-two dead… including thirty-two Ashikabi: Mikogami Hayato, Higa Izumi, Ichinomiya Natsuo…" He sighed. "To think—they were the ones I rated highly. Dead just like that. Forty-six Sekirei eliminated. Nearly half the board wiped in an instant. This Goku… he's terrifying."
"An uncontrollable element like that… a grave threat. But since matters have reached this point, the timing is ripe. It's time to open Phase Two of the Sekirei Plan. The stage: New East Teito."
At the same time, every remaining Ashikabi in the city received the following notice:
"Fortunate Ashikabi, the time has come and your stage is set. From this moment, if you wish never to be separated from your beloved Sekirei, then challenge the others. Only one will stand victorious in the end, and that one shall ascend to the heights, gaining the power to change the fate of this world.
But beware: on this thorny road of love stands a tiger—a man who has even winged the supposedly unwinnable No.01. His strength defies imagination.
Boys and girls—if you would live forever with the one you love, create that future with your own hands. Hahaha! And… good luck!"
The war of Sekirei versus Sekirei had truly begun.
On a deserted street, four almost-forgotten figures walked along the cracked pavement.
"Hey, hey—what is this? Are we expected to fight that monster from before?"
Sahashi Minato stared at the message on his phone, face drained of color. Yesterday he'd been an ordinary exam failure; today they wanted him to battle that? If this was a dream, please let him wake up.
"D-Do we really have to fight someone like that…?"
Sahashi Yukari looked to Shiina, voice shaking. The feeling Goku left them with was simple: unbeatable.
"My, my—I thought it was some useless brat… turns out it's my son and daughter!"
A teasing voice rang out as a crisp, capable woman appeared, megaphone in hand—backed by a squad of armed soldiers.
"M—Mom?"
Minato gaped, then slumped in exasperation. "Seriously? After all this time, that's your opener? And why are you here?"
"Ah, where to begin… Minato, didn't I tell you I worked at a pharmaceutical company? Actually… I lied."
Sahashi Takami said it breezily, like it was nothing.
"You—lied to me?!"
Minato reeled. Lied to by his own mother for years… just how outrageous was this woman?
---
"All right, enough chatter—come with me. This isn't the place to talk."
Yumi's expression turned serious.
"Go with you? Where?" Minato asked, still dazed.
"Somewhere safe. This Sekirei Plan has drawn in someone extremely dangerous. You just stay with me—that's my responsibility as your mother."
"The Sekirei Plan? How do you even know about that?"
"I said this isn't the place. I'll explain everything later."
—
Sunset. Izumo Inn. Dinnertime bliss.
Basking in the affection of many hands serving him dishes, Goku accepted everything without hesitation. A Saiyan was, after all, a bottomless eater; no matter how much the girls piled into his bowl, he polished it off in two or three bites. An ordinary man couldn't have survived the onslaught.
"…Hm?"
Just as he was demolishing another plate, Goku's face shifted. He froze—
and a dreadful ripple of destruction surged from deep within him.
The space around them fractured.
"W-What's happening?!"
Miya and the others blanched. In that suffocating aura they felt pure, hopeless death.
In a heartbeat, Goku swept his hand out. A solid spatial barrier snapped into place, sealing the entire inn off from the world.
Sigils of annihilation kindled across his body—countless runes shining with ruinous power. Space shattered.
Everything collapsed. At Izumo Inn's location yawned a lightless black hole, like a mouth that devoured everything, radiating a pressure that made the soul quail.
The women stood at the black hole's center, each wrapped in a sheath of divine light that kept the annihilating force from tearing them apart. Their clothing, however, had disintegrated completely—sleek, flawless curves bared to the dark. It would have been an intoxicating sight, if any of them had the presence of mind to notice.
They didn't. Every eye was fixed, trembling, on the abyss around them. The pull gnawed at their souls; terror crawled over their skin.
A moment ago everything had been normal. Now this. It was too much.
They looked to Goku, cocooned in those eerie runes—and realized the culprit stood right beside them.
Feeling the malice leaking from a single sigil, they went cold. Without the divine light shielding them, even standing near those symbols would have shredded their souls.
"W—What is Goku… to be this terrifying?"
Matsu swallowed hard, eyes wide with disbelief.
"Strong—too strong! This power is despair itself… and yet intoxicating. Haha… as expected of my Ashikabi."
Karasuba stared at him with feverish delight, body trembling, eyes a little mad.
"Can any human truly wield such power…?"
Miya stood dumbstruck. If not for the protective radiance, they would have been dust already.
The runes blazed, their destructive waves peaking—then fused into a single, even more terrible sigil. Lightning crawled over it; sacred light flared, brilliant and blinding. Its power erupted—
With a thunderous crack, golden radiance speared from Goku like a storm of arrows.
A second beam followed, a rainbow lance that pierced the black hole and vanished into endless void.
Then lightning gathered from every side, roaring without end—world-ending thunder, the final doctrine of ruin.
Miya and the others watched numbly, as if trapped inside a film, as the impossible unfolded before their eyes.
At last the sigil dimmed, condensed to a point, and sank into Goku's brow. The terrifying aura vanished as if it had never been—though the shattered space around them refused to knit back together.
Seeing their dazed faces, Goku scratched his head, sheepish.
"Sorry, sorry… got a little carried away and, uh, wrecked the place. Heh."
"You think sorry covers it? Goku, what was that? Explain. Now."
The women pressed in, clearly ready to mete out consequences if he tried to dodge.
"Hehe… it's nothing, really. I just had a sudden… power-up. Lost control for a second. You know how it is…"
"We know nothing. Details. Now."
Even Miya swore under her breath—a rarity. Her beloved Izumo Inn had just been erased; anger was inevitable.
With a helpless sigh, Goku gave them the full explanation.
It was simple: in the World Ring, hundreds of millions of shadow clones had completed their cultivation at once and poured all their gains back into the original—him. The surge blindsided him; hence the slip.
And with someone like Goku, even a leak of aura could obliterate everything nearby—especially when that leak carried the pure Law of Destruction.
At this point, he saw no reason to hide anything. They were his Sekirei—his women. So he told them who and what he truly was.
