"About that, I'm not sure..." Ryan finally answers Yomi's inquiry and has a strained smile. He receives a look full of disbelief from Yomi and Taki.

"I swear I don't know how many, but I can say with confidence that I can wing Sekirei up to sixteen."

"Sixteen?!"

"Ryan-sama, are you for real?"

"That's too much!"

Yomi and Taki shout aloud in disbelief; Kaho joins them, shocked by the number Ryan has spoken off.

The three Sekirei has a complicated look after that. After all, Sixteen is too many. It's one-ninth of the total Sekirei that join the Sekirei Plan. Moreover, they worry for their time with their Ashikabi will be cut short if those many Sekirei are flocking on him.

Of course, that number is only Sekirei. In the future, female humans and even other races are going to be added into Ryan's harem. But, it's another topic for another time.

"Well, the more is the merrier, right?" Musubi suddenly exclaimed cheerfully. She seems to have a different opinion than the rest.

Yomi, Taki, and Kaho turn at Musubi with a dumbfounded expression. They want to protest to her, but they immediately give up since they know it's useless. Kaho has been together for a long time with Musubi; it's normal that she knows Musubi's personality. However, Yomi and Taki can guess what type of girl Musubi is; they can see that Musubi's a musclehead type and it's a lost cause to explain the problem to her.

Ryan's eyes lit up in happiness after he heard Musubi's words. He pats Musubi's head and speaks to her, "Musubi is a good girl. You're correct. The more is the merrier, right?"

Musubi giggles happily as she gets a head pat and praise from her Ashikabi; she's over the moon from being pampered by him.

Yomi, Taki, and Kaho give Ryan a stink look because he takes advantage of Musubi's innocence and obliviousness. They realize that their Ashikabi also has a shameless side in him. It's new for Yomi and Taki.

"Anyway, let's go. Let's find out the next target!"

"Yes~!"

While Ryan and Musubi are fired up for their hunt, the rest exchange a helpless look before giving up and follow after Ryan and Musubi who take the lead ahead of them. Since they are Ryan's Sekirei, they will support him despite they feel complicated with his plan.

Yomi has already given her all to him, so it's already too late for her. Well, it's not like her thoughts matter in this case. She supposes she must be grateful enough to have him as her Ashikabi or she'll disappear into the void together with the rest of the world. At least, her Ashikabi still treats her well. Taki has a similar train of thought with Yomi. Meanwhile, Kaho just acquiesces to him because she's bonded to him. It's considered heresy for a Sekirei going against her Ashikabi's wishes.

And so, they continue their hunt.

After walking for a while, they finally discover the next target.

Ryan's next target is sticking out like a sore thumb. After all, she's a brown haired girl with a petite figure clad in one piece dress dragging an oversized hammer behind her.

It's none other than Sekirei No. 84, Yashima.

Without delay, Ryan approaches her. As he gets closer, the same thing that happens to Kaho and Musubi repeats again. Kaho and Musubi finally realize what their Ashikabi has meant with him being an Ashikabi with a special power. He can just make unwinged Sekirei react to him as he is close enough to his target.

His existence is like a cheat in the Sekirei Plan. Well, at least, it's only up to 16 Sekirei. It's going to be a problem if all 100+ Sekirei are reacting to him.

(I guess it's enough for today. I've got 3 Sekirei.) Ryan thinks as he glances at Kaho, Musubi, and Yashima. His latest Sekirei seems over the moon since she finally finds her Ashikabi. Musubi looks happy because her Ashikabi has got another Sekirei. It's Kaho who has a helpless yet resigned look.

"Alright, girls. Listen to me!"

All Ryan's Sekirei around him give their undivided attention to him. Even the scatter-brained Musubi is fixing her attention on Ryan.

"I need your help to buy something."

"Ah, I see."

"So, we finally go shopping. At least, there won't be another one added so soon."

Yomi and Taki seem pleased by the news; Ryan smiles wryly at the two. The rest are confused by the news.

Ryan gives them a short explanation of what they are going to do, "You see, I want you to buy everything in this list."

Ryan takes out the list he has prepared. It's the list of things Kochou's asked him to buy since she's still busy in his Base. At first, she gave the list in the form of digital note inside his Tablet PC, but he's copied the list on a paper.

Ryan hands the list for Yomi and speaks to the rest, "Yomi will lead you all. Also, I'll appoint Kaho as Yomi's deputy to take the rein over the rest."

"Eeeh? Why her?" Taki pouts since she's not chosen by Ryan.

"I chose Kaho because she seems responsible. More than you at least."

"Boho! Ryan-sama is meany!"

Ryan ignores Taki's protest and continues on, "Also, I want you to buy something you need to furnish your own room."

The new Sekirei—Kaho, Musubi, and Yashima—tilt their heads in confusion. They don't understand what he has meant by that. Therefore, Ryan explains to them how they'll obtain their personal room after they returned to his "Base". Of course, he doesn't say it openly. His system is his secret and he doesn't want to let trouble to knock his door despite he doesn't fear anything in the Trial World. The only ones he's wary of is Miya, Karasuba, and finally this world's WMD—Weapons of Mass Destruction, I.e Nuclear Missiles.

"So, any question?" Ryan allows his Sekirei to give him questions related to their task, but everyone shakes their respective head. His explanation was clear enough, leaving no room for questions. He even explained the size of their future room and what they can expect from it.

"If no one has a question, then, go! I'll go somewhere first!"

"Where are you going, Ryan-sama?" Yomi asked him before he could take off.

"I'll go to find the rest alone."

Barring Musubi and Yashima, who's unaware of what he means by that, everyone else has a complicated expression. They finally find out that Ryan will bring back more Sekirei after they split apart.
