After splitting apart from his Sekirei, Ryan quickly searches for an empty alley. After finding and entering one, he quickly asks the system silently.

(System, does the shop have something that can turn me invisible?)

There is a reason for Ryan's sudden paranoid attitude to the point of asking the system about anything that can turn him invisible. The reason is MBI's artificial satellite that keeps the real-time feeds of Shinto Teito. If he doesn't hide his appearance when he goes to the north in inhuman speed, it will get Minaka and other MBI's personnel. Ryan's behavior that dislikes troublesome matter demands him to bring problems knocking to his door despite he has the strength to deal with said problem.

All that aside, back to the present, the system gives Ryan the answer to his question.

[Answering the host: the price for the information is 100 SP.]

Ryan clicks his tongue, but he doesn't have time to start an argument with the system, so he quickly pays up.

[The host can buy invisibility potion or cloak if invisibility in the Shop's Unique Section or buy a skill to turn invisibility in the Shop's Unique to Epic Section. The system advises the host to buy the skill because it'll stay with the host longer.]

Ryan is pondering his choice silently after listening to the system's advice. He looks into the price for unlocking higher-ranked shop's sections and makes up his mind to unlock them. After winging Kaho, Musubi, and Yashima, he's obtained a massive amount of SP. He has three million System Points, more or less. It's quite the sum, but he cannot carelessly spend it.

After contemplating for a short while, Ryan chooses to unlock some interfaces of his system's shop. His reason is that sooner or later, he'll upgrade the shop. So, why don't he upgrade his system's soon?

After upgrading the system's shop up to the point of unlocking Epic-rank Shop interface, Ryan quickly searches for invisibility or concealment skills in the shop. In the end, he picks up one skill that has caught his fancy.

Ryan has spent 111,100 SP to upgrade the System's shop and 500,000 SP for purchasing the skill he wants. He chooses Presence Concealment that's oddly similar to Assassin class servant's skill from Nasuverse. The skill itself is Pinnacle grade, so it's very high.

As an aside, if it's compared to the Presence Concealment of the Assassin class Servant in Nasuverse, the rank of that skill will be above A with minimum A+ Rank. Therefore, Ryan picked it. Also, he is a fan of Nasuverse because of FGO Mobile Game. But, I've been digressing for a quite short while. Let's return back to the proper rail...

After purchasing the skill, Ryan uses his new skill and heads for the north area. His destination is the shopping district.

Ryan has found out that No. 10, Uzume, is unwinged and currently doing a grocery shopping; probably, she's tasked by a certain scary landlady. He has planned to get Uzume first before she meets Chiho Hidaka. Uzume is one of his favorite character in Sekirei comic and animation because she has a fun personality.

After a couple of seconds, Ryan arrives in the shopping district of the north area of Shinto Teito. He has been flying after taking a single leap toward the north. He quickly dives into an empty alley before his concealment skill ends. As an aside, his Presence Concealment skill consumes 10 PP every 6 seconds.

Ryan comes out of the alley and approaches Uzume in one of the shops.

As of now, Uzume is wearing her casual wear, consisting of a tight-fitting pink shirt with purple sleeves, a star print on the front, and number 10 on the back. For her lower garb, she wears tight-fitting Capri jeans.

First of all, Ryan acts as if he is shopping normally. Then, he approaches Uzume who has a conversation with the aunty shopkeeper. When they are close enough, Uzume suddenly freezes up. She displays the telltale sign of reacting. Simultaneously, Ryan receives a warning from the system that notifies him of the activation of his Ashikabi's Gene.

Uzume finally turns around, facing him. At the same time, he faces her and sees Uzume covering her mouth in disbelief.

"Excuse me, Aunty. I have something very important to do!"

After speaking to the shopkeeper in a fluster, Uzume approaches Ryan in a hurry. When she's close enough, she grabs Ryan's hand and quickly drags him towards somewhere empty. Her choice is the alley Ryan came out a short while ago. Meanwhile, Ryan allows Uzume to pull him around because he knows what she's doing.

After entering the alley, Uzume pushes Ryan to the wall; his back hits the wall softly. She drops her grocery bag and does the Kabedon on him with both hands, denting and cracking the concrete wall behind his head.

Ryan is still smiling, but if you look closely, you'll find a faint, furious twitch in the corner of his lips.

Ryan is actually speechless from Uzume's action; he has never expected Uzume would give him the Kabedon treatment. It's usually the male character who does that to the female character in animation and comic, not the other way around! The order is messed up!

Uzume has a very red face and dilated eyes; her breath is uneven and rapid. Her pretty face is closing to Ryan's face. Since Ryan has a taller figure than Uzume, she needs to tiptoe to push her face to Ryan's.

"I've found you, my Ashikabi..." Uzume whispered seductively before claiming Ryan's lips. Nay, she basically mouth-r*aped him like his other Sekirei who initiates kiss first.

From her back, energy wings that seem like white cloth sprout out, illuminating the dark alley.

Ryan returns back Uzume's furious kiss and ignores the system's announcement; he grabs Uzume's shapely rears with his hands and kneads them roughly as they exchange a passionate kiss.

After a short while, Uzume breaks off the kiss. She pledges to him, "By the veil of my contract, No. 10, Uzume, is yours forever and ever."

The next moment, her lips curve up into a naughty smile; she speaks to him "So, who is the cutie pie who's my Ashikabi?"

"Ryan Maxwell, but call me Ryan," Ryan replied calmly.

"I have a suspicion when I see your appearance, but you're really a foreigner, eh?"

"What? Do you have a problem with it?"

"Nope! You're hunk! I got a hot Ashikabi. Wanna have fun with me, Ryan-Baby?" Uzume boldly invited, trying to tease him. Too bad, Ryan isn't an inexperienced young man. Moreover, he already knew Uzume's personality so he'd expected this much.

"Maybe, later. I don't think you want to have sex in an empty, dirty alley." Ryan stated calmly.

"Wow! You don't react in fluster. Hmm..." Uzume suddenly narrows her eyes. "You don't seem to be confused about everything."

Ryan chooses to answer Uzume's unasked question without beating around the bush, "You're not my first Sekirei, though the way you're wearing a casual cloth is surprising. So far, all the Sekirei I've winged wear strange costumes."

Uzume blinks in bewilderment as she digests Ryan's words. Her eyes open wide in shock after realizing that she's not his first Sekirei.

"How many did you wing before me?"

"You're my EIGHT Sekirei?" Ryan emphasizes the number strongly.

"What in the hell?!" Uzume's jaw drops in disbelief after knowing how many Sekirei already flocking around him.
