Soon enough, Akitsu, Fubuki, and I had finished putting away the rest of the food we had brought with us and I noticed that much of the freezer's were empty or at most at their halfway point in food.
"Well the food stores are nice and filled up for now." I said before making a little noise as Akitsu with no shame at all hugged me around my back and snuggled into me abruptly.
Fubuki seeing Akitsu holding onto me, gave a snort of amusement before she said. "Yeah we should be good with the all the easily prepped and pre-packed food you guys got. Akitsu go show Jake where you live so he knows where NOT to wander around." Fubuki ended pointedly.
I gave Fubuki a look with Akitsu squeezing me around my waist and I asked bluntly. "Is there someone or something I should be avoiding then?"
Fubuki calmly nodded and said bluntly. "You should probably avoid Lust, she doesn't particularly like humans. Though more along the lines of disdain's them at least for normal ones. She can't get mouthy or prideful when I can smash her with a giant rock anyway."
I raised an eyebrow before I glowed with my aura and I said. "I do have Aura so I am not exactly helpless." And I saw Fubuki blinked at seeing my aura.
"Oh! Aura huh, we ran into some groups that had that. Stronger people with Aura were definetly an issue but normal people with aura just required a bit more effort to deal with." She said with some approval before she shrugged.
"Well she probably won't be too rude to you, and she certainly woudn't attack you or anything. That is more likely to be Karasuba that starts a fight out of nowhere." Fubuki finished with a weak smile.
I nodded in understanding before I asked. "One final question before we leave. Who is nominally the leader of the group actually?"
Fubuki blinked at my question before she chuckled and said as she shifted with one hand going to her hip. "Well, we are all a pretty easygoing group truth be told. But Feixiao is nominally the group leader. Will that be all?"
I shook my head as I absorbed that information. "Nope, thanks for answering my questions and not being hostile to me. Akitsu let's get going then." I said taking Akitsu's hands off from around my waist and simply holding her hand so we could more easily walk.
Though... Even Fubuki chuckled seeing the small pout Akitsu had at me breaking the little hug. "Come on Akitsu, take me to where you typically sleep so I can put away my extra stuff." I said with amusement.
Akitsu then pulled me out of the super small supermarket and brought me across the small town square where she pointed at the large city hall in the center of the town square. "We sekirei don't like being too alone. So we took over the town hall, and I have my own office room I converted into my own room." Akitsu explained.
But then I could feel her hand squeeze mine as she said calmly. "Ah, we may need more pillows. I only have two pillows on my bed so there isn't enough."
I raised an eyebrow and asked curiously as we made our way onto the steps leading into the courthouse/town hall. "Don't you mean we need beds, I mean Musubi will obviously be sleeping in the same room right?"
And Akitsu with no shame but instead complete certainty said. "Ah... No, another bed won't be needed if it's just me, you and Musubi. We will all fit just fine on my queen-sized bed."
'Ah. There is the shameless, no it's just the lacking of shame normal in Sekirei in general.' I thought with amusement as Akitsu pulled me into the courthouse.
Said courthouse was four floors tall, and made of marble and other stone masonry. So it had a pretty damned good size to it all things considered. "Me and Musubi share a hallway on the second floor." Akitsu said as we entered the courthouse and started heading up the grand stairway at the back of the courthouse that went to the second floor.
But as we came up to the midpoint of the stairs and took a right to head up to the next level. The sounds of clicking heels rang out and looking up I saw two more Sekirei who paused at seeing me for a moment. "Oh? This is the yummy little Ashikabi that Musubi was yelling about?"
The speaker was Matsu who I recognized with her signature outfit, auburn hair, and those cute round glasses that she wore. While next to her... Was Tsukiumi, who was also very recognizable with her ultra-long blond hair, and short skirt.
The short skirt that I could literally see up with zero issues due to how I was down the stairs. With Tsukiumi already looking at me with a hint of distaste making me smile wryly at the sight.
"Hello, I am glad that Musubi got to you all first. But yeah, my name is Jake Bariss, it's nice to meet you both." I said calmly as Akitsu gave me a slight pull and both of the other two Sekirei stepped back clearly wanting to speak for a minute.
Or... More in Matsu's case. Ogle and eye fuck me with her eyes racking me up and down.
"Tsukiumi... Don't think that just because you winged that dolt Musubi and Akitsu that I will just be dropping to my knees for you!" The blond said with a flush and with how short her skirt was.
I could literally see her thighs rubbing back and forth as Tsukiumi was obviously reacting to me as well. Which to say nothing of however we matched one another. There was no denying the fact that I carried a strong Ashikabi pull due to how I had bonded with Akitsu and Musubi alreadly.
"I will be sure to give you plenty of space then Tsukiumi." I said respectfully before leaning back as an evil mad giggle rang out from my side as Matsu came up to me.
"So! I want to hear all about how you ended up here and aren't even a clone of the company's nonsense. Are you actually a human? How have you survived alone, and most importantly what is your opinion of prone bone deviant sex while putting them in a headlock!"
The room went silent. As Akitsu just blinked at Matsu's... Utter filthy mouth while Tsukiumi flushed bright red in mortification. Hell even I blushed a bit at how interested she sounded.
"Well uhh... Yes to most of your questions." I said after swallowing down my surprise and then I shook my head. "Anyway, I need to put my stuff away. I will see you both around dinner time then I think, as I will be helping with the cooking."
With that I took Akitsu's hand in mine and pulled her away with her getting the message and instead pulling me along. As she wanted to obviously show off her room to me.
We quickly made our escape even as my face twitched at hearing Matsu whimper. "Tsukiumi... Did I come on a bit strong?"
And I heard no answer beyond a choking yell with sounds that could only be splattering water or something with Akitsu saying blandly. "Tsukiumi is giving Matsu the spray bottle treatment. She will behave for at least another fifteen minutes before she says something else thats perverted or weird."
I didn't get a chance to say anything else as Akitsu pulled me towards a room that had a tag that said [Break Room 1] but right below the tag was Akitsu and Musubi's name engraved on the door sorta.
Well the engraving looked like someone with super strength took a screwdriver to the wooden door and just scratched the shit out of the door to add the names. But hey it worked.
"This... Is actually pretty cozy." I said with a nod as the break room turned bedroom was actually fair large. And the room actually have some carpet so it wasn't the marble/stone floors the rest of the courthouse had.
So it would be fine to walk barefoot on when we wanted to take off our shoes and relax.
"You can drop off your stuff in any of the cabinets over there, and we have our beds over here... You will be sharing my bed right?" Akitsu asked with a bit of anxiety in her voice.
I dropped off my backpack carrying all my personal survival gear on a table alongside my guns before I turned to Akitsu, and I gently cupped her cheeks and stepped in to kiss her on the lips.
A flare of light shot out of Akitsu's back, her Sekirei wings brightly lighting up the room even further. And I could feel the pyschic soul bond between us tightening with the physical connection we shared.
My hands moved down from her cheeks down her neck, and slide down her side before my hands dug into her plush soft ass. And pulled her into me with wrapping a leg around my side as she pushed herself into me to embrace me harder.
'Akitsu's tits are fucking amazing... But dear god this dump truck she got hiding in this perverted robe.' I thought as my hand massaged her ass and squeezed that heart-shaped wonder.
Our making out and minor groping continued for a good few minutes until the door to our room was thrown open and Musubi's voice rang out. "I told everyone that's here that you are now my Ashikabi! Oh, you and Akitsu are having fun haha!"
The kiss broke apart with Akitsu resting her head on my shoulder as I gave her ass one final squeeze as though to say goodbye for now. And I looked over at Musubi who quickly bounced over quite literally with her larger breasts bouncing her perverted miko style-like outfit.
"Can I get a kiss too?" Musubi asked with a small pout.
But I could tell the pout was due to how Akitsu was taking up so much space on my body and thus making it impossible for Musubu herself to throw herself at me for a smooch. Not out of jealousy at all.
I gave Akitsu a squeeze around her waist as a non-verbal message with her sighing and letting go of me and going back to being my back koala as she held me around the waist with her head resting on the back of my shoulders.
With Akitsu out of the way, Musubi only allowed me the false hope of control as she awaited me to hold out my arms in a hug before the very busty brunet dove into my arms with a happy giggle which turned into a squeal of joy as our lips met and her own pink energy wings flared to life from her back.
'Do I play grab ass with both girls at the same time?' I pondered... For not long at all as I could feel Akitsu's connection between me and her also riding the high of Musubi and I kissing and strengthening our bonds.
I likewise made out with Musubi with my hands exploring her body a good bit without any shame for a good few minutes. Until I finally broke the steamy session to speak to the two as we moved across the break room to a large couch that had obviously been moved into the room.
I laid on the couch first with Akitsu happily squeezing in on the side of the couch tucked in my arm while Musubi laid more of anything just on my chest as we relaxed in a place we were supposed to be safe now.
"Soooo comfy. Is this the love and warmth of an Ashikabi?" Musubi muttered with a little giggle escaping her as she rubbed her nose on my shirt before she picked at my shirt.
"Oh Jake, by the way. The courthouse does have a shower you can use, though not for long as the water heater kinda sucks." Musubi said making me raise an eyebrow at her wording.
"Are you saying I stink Musubi?" I asked teasingly and she blinked before shrugging.
"Yeah, we have been driving for several hours, and you were in that school mini-realm for who knows how long. So it's probably been close to at least a day since you showered." She answered without any blame, merely just stating a fact.
I paused at that and nodded as she was right on the mark. So I just grunted and said. "Alright, gimmie a good twenty minutes to relax. Then I will go take a shower, what time do you guys have meal times though?"
It was Akitsu who responded easily. "Meals are a good bit past sun rise, past noon, and at sundown. Clocks get wonky going between realms so we just eat based on the relative time of this realm."
"Even the normal clocks here in this realm get messed with?" I asked in confusion.
Both girls nodded with Akitsu saying with a small sigh. "Fubuki says that after meeting other groups and coming to a realization. And that is that, the universe is messing with all physical forms of time telling regardless of it being analog, electric, or even magical, just to be petty."
"That's bullshit," I muttered with a groan.
And for a good while we just snuggled and I fully just deflated. Letting out all my stress and barriers for a good bit as I felt the two soft feminine weights on my form.
Finally, after a minute I exhaled and said. "Alright. Time for a shower I guess. Will at least one of you come to watch out for me and check the shower room. I don't want to walk in or have others walk in on me showering?"
Akitsu gave Musubi a light nudge and said. "You can watch him. I need to hide our snacks, and I want to check in on Hibiki and Hikari."
I raised an eyebrow at the reminder that this group had literally ten fucking Sekirei in it... Tsukiumi, Musubi, Kazehana, Matsu, Uzume, Hibiki and Hikari, Akitsu, Karasuba, and finally Kusano.
"You have fun Akitsu... Now you two need to let me get up." I said with some joking humor as both Akitsu and Musubi shared a look debating refusing me the ability to get up.
But thankfully for my sanity, they got up allowing me to likewise get up and head over to my bags to collect an extra set of clean clothes, a towel, and just to be safe... I also took the Vector SMG with me as Musubi happily took my arm between her breasts.
Heading over to the showers was something for sure as they were in the basement, where the holding cells were as this city hall also doubled as a courthouse which meant that they had to temporarily house inmates.
"Oooh! I hear the showers, I wonder who it is!" Musubi called out happily and I stopped at the end of the stairs near the basement.
"Well, let's be patient then. I will just wait here unless you wanna tell them to hurry up." I joked partly.
Musubi shook her head and said firmly. "No! You can't tell a lady to hurry up with her shower. Washing their hair takes time of course! Though I will go see who it is, as some people take much longer in the shower."
With that Musubi went to the end of the basement after turning around a corner to leave my view. Hell, I honestly couldn't even hear the shower running which was just further proof of the value of a super-strong body with enhanced senses.
And speaking of enhanced senses... I looked in the Shop tied to my bracelet and I looked through the cheats again.
"Yeah... The Gamer powerset is the best choice still. I just need an extra five hundred thousand points to buy it." I muttered with wry amusement before shaking my head.
See because the Gamer's power was all-encompassing. It allowed for quicker and unlimited power growth, it gave me access to magic. And it gave me access to skills that could make me more durable physically, and of course resistant to magic and other bullshit.
With magic and 'other' bullshit resistance was one of the major reasons I wanted the Gamer power for sure. As I dreaded running into some SCP nonsense for example.
Musubi after a couple of minutes bounced back out of the hallway with her happily reporting. "Oh it's just Kuroka taking a quick shower! And she is almost done."
I nodded in understanding with Musubi likewise going to lean on the wall I was leaning on with her laying her head on the side of my shoulder with her singing a little ditty under her breath while I patiently waited for Kuroka to finish her shower.
Musubi and I just talked about the rest of the Sekirei in the group for a bit with her telling me about how Kusano was actually in her adult form and not a little girl which was certainly a load off my mind.
But basically all the Sekirei except for Karasuba were trust worthy according to Musubi when it came to me anyway. "So did you see Karasuba when you went to go tell everyone I was here?" I asked curiously.
Musubi nodded easily and said with a weak smile. "She was happy to see me get stronger. But she is probably going to be kinda rude to you. Call you a waste of space and food, but she just wants you to get strong you know!" Musubi tried to explain her 'friend' being a bitch.
"I will deal with her when that time comes... You can give her a good punch if she gets stabby right?" I asked humorously and I saw Musubi's easy going smile die abruptly with her stating calmly.
"Oh, if Karasuba tries to stab you, my Ashikabi. I will punch her brains out the back of her head! I even told her that when I talked to her earlier." The easy way she stated that, definitely made my lips pursed at the reminder of how fucking hard Sekire 'LOVED' their Ashikabi.
But before we could continue that topic a loud. "Nyahhh!" Rang out drawing my eyes to the side...
And I just stared as big titty cat girl tiddies bounced, as Kuroka wearing nothing but a loosely tied bathrobe and some flip flops came around the corner yawning. And it was definitely High School DXD Kuroka there.
Kuroka finished her yawn and then her golden-slitted feline eyes landed one me and took me in with a raised eyebrow. "Nyahhh, he is just a normie huh. His lifeforce is rather weak anyway..."
She came closer as I gave her an odd look and she looked up and down fully before she patted my shoulder and grinned. "Hey! If you make sure I get fish with each meal I will make sure you don't die if you are near me haha!" She said happily.
My lips twitched at that and I shook my head. "I mean sure, if I can make fish I will. But that depends on the food we bring back."
Kuroka was about to say something but then Musubi giggled and said. "Go ahead and jump in the showers Jake. I will keep Kuroka busy otherwise she will drag you off to make her a bunch of food."
The dark-haired Nekoshou let go of my shoulder with a small smirk and let me pass as Musubi and Kuroka began talking with each other as I went to go take a quick shower.
"Kuroka you kissless virgin, don't you dare bully my Ashikabi you hear or-" I heard Musubi say proudly while I quickly powered on with my footsteps as I wanted to get away from whatever was coming.
The showers themselves were a series of six stalls with plastic walls separating out the stalls and I grimaced at the sight of the wet tiles on the ground. "Going to need to get some flip flops or something."
I muttered before going to take a quick shower and then washing off my feet with some rubbing alcohol after I was done, so I didn't get some kind of foot fungus or anything.
With myself, all washed up and clean. I quickly dried myself off with the help of the towel I brought along with using a hand dryer to also dry off my hair as well just for the hell of it.
Coming out of the shower area, I saw Musubi was there with a smile already waiting for me and I said. "Thank you for waiting for me Musubi. So, I guess let's go check outside and see if I should get started making some food right?"
Musubi nodded with her smile widening as she took my arm between her breasts and cheered. "Yup that sounds great! Plus that will let you meet more members of the group!"
I nodded and asked curiously. "So how many am I cooking for actually? I need to know about how many portions I need to make."
We had reached the ground level when Musubi finally responded excitedly. "Whelp! Feixiao, Uzume, Rangiku, and Lust are all out as well so you need to make... Twelve big portions including you!"
I hummed in thought before I asked. "So you said this realm is mostly deep woods with some farms and small towns right?"
Musubi nodded in some confusion and I continued. "Think we could get some live chickens or maybe catch some wild turkey?" I asked curiously.
Musubi's face pinched before she said with a pout. "Sorry Jake, the weird fairy monsters running around this realm at night have some weird ability to hide farm animals that they own. And we can't get to them unless we kill their owners first."
I clicked my tongue in some annoyance before shrugging. "Whelp that's fine. We still got plenty of food we collected and other stored food for me to work with."
Looking up into the sky of this realm, I estimated that the sun would be falling past the horizon in probably another hour or two at most. So I shrugged and said. "Alright, well better get started. I want to make a good first impression so making a huge amount of a single dish won't be that good of such an impression."
I brought Musubi over to the supermarket area only to blink seeing Fubuki sitting in a rocking chair with a book in her hands with her green eyes landing on our forms. "Oh? You are getting started already?" Fubuki asked curiously.
I nodded and said. "Yup, I need to get familiar with my workspace, the ovens, and what I have before I start making food."
Fubuki nodded in understanding before she shifted in her chair and said. "Go ahead and get to work then. I am the group's quartermaster basically. I keep watch of the food stores because my powers do not make me a complete glutton like some people. And someone needs to watch the food overnight as the fae creatures tried to poison us when we weren't watching." She finished with a grimace at the thought.
"Fair enough." I grunted as I went over to the rows of freezer's and refrigerators to mentally order everything we had. Then after a moment of thought, I asked Musubi. "Musubi, what is your, and Akitsu's favorite food?"
Musubi tilted her head to the side before she grinned and said happily already getting an idea of what I was going to do. "Ooh! My favorite meal is a big thick cut of beef, along with a side of rice and crunchy french fries!"
The fighter Sekirei put a finger to her lips before she said slowly. "And for Akitsu... I think she really likes chicken and light meats you know? Not sure about sides for her though."
I nodded with a hand going to my chin in thought before I said. "Well, that should be good enough. We have plenty of ground beef, I can make into a hamburg steak, along with several boxes of frozen chicken breasts."
With that, I got to work as I worked to dethaw the chicken breasts which would all be baked in an oven within a baking pan that had a layer of enchilada sauce on the chicken and surrounding the chicken so it's inner moisture wouldn't be baked out of it.
For the Hamburg Steaks, it was basically a thicker hamburger but instead with more fat giving it a thicker juicy texture. But the secret for making a great Hamburg steak was a brown sugar honey glaze that was rubbed into it so it would have a bark like a grilled steak that would seal in all it's moisture.
Then for the finisher for the Hamburg Steaks, I made three different sauces that people could dip cuts of it into. Being BBQ, a mushroom gravy used in Salisbury Steak typically. And of course, a spicy BBQ sauce variant that had some chili oil.
With the main meals being prepped and made, I moved onto the sides and made what Musubi requested. While also making a couple of large premade salads that just needed a sauce of choice the girls could pick along with some potato salad from the leftover potatoes I cooked up to make the double fried crispy french fries.
All the while I was cooking, I was distracted as Musubi and later Akitsu came and 'Halped' more like taking samples of all the food I was making. and being distracting with their commentary about how amazing it was that I was a chef because everyone else kinda sucked at cooking.
And as I was relaxing for a bit as all the food was resting to cool off, the other ladies in the group began filling in and I got to meet them.
First was Tsukiumi who came in with her refusing to meet my gaze, next was Kazehana who literally floated in with a giggle as she waved at me. Matsu came in next with her also waving happily, and also leering at me.
Then came the lightning twin Sekirei in Hibiki and Hikari with them both having purple hair and yellow eyes who both simply nodded seeing me before they took a seat next to Tsukiumi.
Kuroka then came in with Kusano who as Musubi and Akitsu reminded me. Kusano was actually fully grown with her having darker blond hair then Tsukiumi but also a less curvacous form then the other blond.
"Fubuki, could you help me move all the plates, silveware, and drinks over?" I asked the telekinetic who had moved from her rocking chair to a more simple wooden dinner chair and all the plates carrying the food, and such glowed green before floating over to the people.
I personally brought over Musubi and Akitsu's position at the end of one of the rows of tables and as we all got fully sat down for the evening meal, we just started digging into the two entree meals I prepared for everyone.
Sitting down I began digging into my food with Matsu sitting across from me as Akitsu and Musubi wanted to sit beside me as we ate.
"Hmm, its much better than Karasuba's attempt at cooking haha." Kazehana spoke up after a moment jokingly making the ladies giggle in a conspiratory manner.
With Matsu dryly adding. "Her idea of cooking is cutting and dicing everything into a fine paste before throwing it into an oven for half an hour to cook... Thank you for the real meal Jake."
I nodded before jolting slightly in place as a bare foot carefully touched my bare legs as I had changed into some shorts knowing I wasn't going to be running around for a good while.
Then than foot started going upwards on my legs and I just gave Matsu a dull look before I nudged her foot away and I said quietly as the girls started speaking to one another about stuff. "Later."
And she giggled with those glasses of hers flashing. But then even as I tried to get back to eating. Fubuki asked a good question. "So Jake, while we are almost all here. Why don't you personally tell everyone how your braclet is different, and how you aren't part of the companies nonsense."
Taking a drink of some cold water, I took a breath before I began explaining my situation. How I was reincarnated here due to how my body and soul wasn't able to be acclimated to a cheat that I would have been inserted with to a different universe.
Turning on the bracelet I set it so it would show it's settings in a holographic mode and I continued. "So beyond buying myself a cheat from the points I get from the Primordial Energy Item's. I can buy things from the Company and I can likewise buy stuff like enchanted weapons and just everyday goods in bulk for the points I get."
I saw Fubuki raise her own braclet with a frown as she was certainly strong enough to deserve one when she wasn't holding back. And she added on. "So if we funneled the Primordial Energy Item's we find to you. You could just buy a good deal of food with the points?"
Going to the shops, I looked up specifically food and I reported with a wry smile. "I can get literal cargo containers of food teleported to the braclet for like a hundred points each."
The ladies shared looks Kuroka noting with amusment. "Those giant cockroach things in that city realm. Remeber they were worth five points each, hey Jake! Does your shoppy thing whole sale like a whole Tuna?!"
My lips twitched and I heard how the girls quieted down and in some cases stood up from their seats to watch over other people's heads as I searched it up. "Uhhh yeah, ten points for a whole tuna fish." I reported.
"Wait!" Fubuki called out with a harsh look on her face as she refocused on me. "Jake... Can you buy toilet paper and feminine products?"
The room went utterly silent. And my lips twitched at the realization I might be used as an interdimensional smuggler for items with primordial energy that are used to make cheats and other things. And I would be trading these items for literally fucking tampons.
And as I searched up the items in question. I glanced away at the list as the girls began chattering away excitedly as apparently... Unsoiled toilet paper, and espeically for women, decent feminine hygiene products were rare in the universe.
As this universe, being the shit hole it was. Went out of it's way to make them rare even in realms they should have plenty of.
Now that I thought about it as well. I recall that the Micheal Myser's themed subdivison, each bathroom had only like half a roll of toilet paper.
Moving on... The girls resettled with myself introducing to everyone more informally before Kuroka spoke up curiously. "Jake how about tommorrow, we go over to that city realm with Musubi and Akitsu. We can kill some of those cockroach monsters and then I can buy a whole tuna fish for myself!"
I raised an eyebrow before shrugging and looking to Musubi and Akitsu.
With Akitsu saying bluntly. "Later in the day. Musubi and I will be celebrating tonight. And we will need time to relax and rest."
And I coudn't help a flush as a couple of the girls giggled and looked at me knowningly.
