The next morning, Ryan and Kochou have another passionate session right after they wake up.

Kochou only smiled helplessly at her Ashikabi's insatiable sex drive. However, she accepted his beastly desire — in a certain purple-haired, widowed woman's words — without voicing out any complaint. After doing it in the bed, they continued for several rounds in the bathroom. They needed to repeat their bath three times because Ryan couldn't restrain his insatiable sex drive. If you ask Kochou, she'll answer your question with "It's a mess, but I won't have any else."

Even Ryan was perplexed by that. He never thought that his body would be this lewd!

Afterward, they checked out of the love hotel around 10 AM of the Japanese time zone. They then visited the electronic shop from the previous day after remembering their forgotten purchases. When they were in the electronic shop, Ryan profusely apologized to the same shopkeeper because the promise he'd broken; he had been enjoying Kochou's forbidden fruit too much until he forgot about that.

After paying up their purchases using MBI card, they went to a nearby bank. Ryan had made up his mind to convert all his accessible wealth into golds and precious metals. He had a plan to hoard his own wealth for future uses in another world. Since his background story in this imaginary world was an emancipated orphan who inherited all wealth left by his parents, he could do what he wants with his wealth.

Converting his wealth into precious gems and metals isn't a problem.

For the time being, Ryan will use MBI's card to pay his and Kochou's daily necessities. He also plans to squeeze out as much as he can from MBI's card before his duration in the Trial World ended.

After they finished Ryan's business in the bank, the evening is near and they settle for an extravagant dinner in a 5-starred restaurant. As an aside, Ryan was astonished that he couldn't meet other Sekirei when he and Kochou strolled in the street.

They finally reached the hotel Ryan's staying in the South of Shito Teito at dusk. After prolonging his rent and accepting his key from the receptionist, the duo went to their high-class suite on the highest floor of the hotel. They paid everything using MBI card. Ryan didn't pull his punch in spending MBI's funds allocated for Sekirei.

Right now, they are in their room. They just arrived not long ago.

Kochou immediately starts tinkering with her brand new, cutting-edge Laptop and upgrades it with the better spare parts she has bought today. Ryan has told her of his plan to use her power to track other unwinged Sekirei.

When Ryan explained his wish to add more Sekirei for his harem, Kochou didn't seem to have problems with it. She accepted the task Ryan gave her and promised him that she won't disappoint him.

As he watches Kochou's works in silence, Ryan enjoys a glass of fruit juice he'd ordered from the room service. He doesn't drink alcohol since he was still too young for it. He is still seventeen years old. Perhaps, after another year or two he'll try alcohol. For now, he is content with his childish taste.

However, the calm atmosphere is broken when the flat-screen TV in the room is turned on abruptly. The screen displays the image of an Asian man with white hair, dressing in all white with a tall collared cape, and a pair of thick glasses of which the light reflections hiding his eyes. The man is sitting in a throne-like chair.

As Ryan sees the man, he immediately recognizes the man's identity. The man is none other than the Game Master of the Sekirei Plan, the CEO and Co-Founder of MBI, and a certified nutjob — Hiroto Minaka.

"Well, good evening, Ryan Maxwell-kun, and No. 22-kun too. As the Game Master of this game, I welcome you to this thrilling game you and your Sekirei are participating!" Minaka greeted Ryan dramatically.

Ryan has an unimpressed expression as he views the antic of the wealthiest Chuunibyou in the Sekirei world.

"Well, I wonder when you'll contact me. The poor presentation aside, why don't you immediately go straight to the point," Ryan stated bluntly. No use for beating around the bush since he wouldn't stay in this world for long.

"Hohohoho... It seems you're expecting me," Minaka said. He seemed delighted by Ryan's rude response as if he found it interesting.

"I've heard about this whole battle royal between pretty alien girls from dear Kochou, over there. Anyway, we're currently busy, so could you please go to the point already?"

Ryan frowns slightly as he gazes at the TV. He has given Kochou a subtle signal to continue with what she is currently doing; she silently nods at him in return. Thus, Ryan is all alone facing the annoying clown.

Speaking of his statement to Minaka, the truth is that Kochou has never explained about the whole Sekirei Plan to him. Ryan had explained to her that her world was a Trial World based on another world which is based on a fictional story in his original world. It is quite complicated, but Ryan couldn't put it in a better term.

Fortunately, Kochou took the information well. She didn't care of something that doesn't pique her intellectual interests.

Regardless, it is nothing but a digression and let's return back at a matter at hand. The talk between Ryan and Minaka.

"You're no fun! Very well, let's start this briefing since you seem to be in a hurry. First of all..."

And so, Minaka starts to explain the rules of his mad game. It's similar to what Ryan remembers from Sekirei the animation and comic. Minaka's explanation's surprisingly thorough and detailed. Minaka explains what Ryan can and cannot do in his twisted game.

Ryan has decided to entertain Minaka as the nutjob seems to enjoy his role as the gamemaster for the twisted game of his. Finally, Minaka's explanation ends and he declares grandly at Ryan,

"...Therefore, fight! Fight! And Fight! Until you and your Sekirei stand as the last pair, on the top of other beaten pairs, and you shall obtain the ultimate prize! I guarantee it's something you will love! However, I can see that you're in quite a predicament since No. 22 doesn't have any combat prowess! But, fret not, my dearest foreign Ashikabi! You can try to find the other unwinged Sekirei. Whether they're naturally reacted to you or you'll forcefully wing them, I care not! Just do your best! I root on you since you're the one and only foreigner Ashikabi yet. Gives me an amazing show! And farewell! May fortune favors you in this game!"

Right after that, the TV turns off and Minaka's image disappears. The flat monitor shows nothing but the reflection of everything before it. Ryan stares at the monitor in silence.

"Ryan-sama?" Kochou's voice jolted Ryan out of his deep contemplation.

Ryan turns his attention at Kochou and saw her worried face for his well being. He shakes his head and smiles refreshingly at Kochou.

"Don't worry. I'm just thinking."

"About what?"

"As you've heard, Minaka has given me the green light to pursue other Sekirei. He even said that I can forcefully wing the unwinged Sekirei that don't react to me. But, I'm not sure if I ought to follow his advice... After all, Sekirei's bond is a sacred thing, yes? What do you think, Kochou? What I ought to do?"

After listening to Ryan's words, Kochou sinks deep in thought. She knits her brows and pinches her chin as she thinks of what her Ashikabi ought to do.

After a while in contemplation, Kochou recovers and answers Ryan's question, "Whatever your choice at that time, I shall support Ryan-sama. I'm Ryan-sama's Sekirei after all!"

Kochou's voice is resolute. There is no hesitation in it. It shows her absolute faith in him, and it touches Ryan's heart.

"Okay. We will cross the bridge at that time. For now, you can continue with what you're doing. Oh, and thank you for worrying about me, Kochou."

"I aim to please," Kochou replied before smiling faintly.

Afterward, Kochou returns back to her half-completed laptop and continues on her tinkering, leaving Ryan alone with his thoughts.
