Shinto Teito, Afternoon
Now that Tsukiumi has joined Kagari's team of Sekireis, she left with them as they returned to Maison Izumo. Above them, Toyotama, Ichiya, and Kaie were watching them leave from above the rooftops.
Ichiya: The battle is over.
Toyotama: Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
Ichiya: So, Number 9 went and got herself winged by that Northern Ashikabi...that makes it twice that we've seen him make a Sekirei emerge.
Toyotama: Yes, it does. He may be a human, but it did look like he was giving her a hard time in that fight.
Ichiya: Let me guess, now you want to try and take a crack at him, Toyotama.
Toyotama: Heh, you know me so well, Ichiya. If we see him, I'll be sure to challenge him to a duel to see how strong he is.
Ichiya: And if he beats you..?
Toyotama: Then it means that I've found the one I want as my Ashikabi. You know how much I wish for my partner to be strong.
Ichiya: Yes, I know. If you want him as an Ashikabi, then I'll join you.
Toyotama: That makes two of us. What about you, Kaie?
Kaie: Well, I would mind...if the Black Ashikabi...was the one to be my master...
Kaie's Thoughts: (Once again, I watch another Sekirei bond with their Ashikabi as I sit back and watch without a master...and it was the one who winged Oriha as well...I'm so jealous..)
Ichiya: Now you're jealous of Number 9 as well, huh?
Kaie: Y-Yes...

Maison Izumo
Later in the day, Kagari and his Sekireis returned to Maison Izumo to deliver the good news about Tsukiumi joining them to Matsu.
Kagari: Hey Miya, we're back.
Miya: Oh, welcome everyone...
