Tsukiumi POV: Forever and Ever

A young man in his teens swirled his short spear while humming in the corridor that goes on the next floor with Tsukiumi.

(Why just looking at him makes my heart flustered)

Tsukiumi thought as she look at her Ashikabi with interest while mulling her feelings onto him.

(Even though he's clumsy and making me want to protect him at all cause)

"Tsukiumi did your adventure with Esdeath go well?"

Jin asked her with concern interrupting her mulling over him.

"Well our compatibility with each other is not bad when we battle our way on the hordes of monsters"

In fact, It's not just bad, their combination was amazing, every time she showers those monsters with water, Esdeath will able easily freeze them using her water as a catalyst and break them down apart by destroying the frozen monster either by her or Esdeath, In fact, Esdeath said to her that they could literally freeze their surrounding area if they combine their power, but Tsukiumi does not want to admit it.

(First of all, that woman does not acknowledge me as a legal wife and allowed Jin to have a harem)

Tsukiumi remembers her conversation with Esdeath, and Esdeath said to her nonchalantly that strong men will always be flocked by women just like her tribesmen in her clan, and not only that it was also Jin's dream to have a harem that's why she support him as long it doesn't hinder their time together.

(Answering me like that, just how a legal wife does, makes me frustrated at the same time I could not retort to her argument as Strong Ashikabi would always be flock by many Sekirei)

Tsukiumi thought frustratedly as they started to adventure on the upper floor of the dungeon.

...

"Hey, Tsukiumi did you know why Esdeath stop on Floor 17th?"

Jin asked her, as Esdeath stopped on the 17th floor, in fact, they already adventuring for many days as they rotate their partner with each passing day, the last day was supposed to be Jin and Esdeath while Artoria and Tsukiumi was the other group.

"She said she going to check the anomaly why the monster rex still not spawning"

Replied by Tsukiumi as they train on the upper floor of the dungeon to change pace while Artoria decided to stay on the 18th floor.

"Hmmm, it's just me or something bad will happen?"

Muttered by Jin as he could not help but feel that something may happen on their adventure.

"Well you do not need to worry about Esdeath she's strong even alon--"

While Tsukiumi was trying to reply to her Ashikabi, that was when she fell into the hole that surprisingly appear hidden by rocks, Jin tried to grab her hand but because of momentum they both fell together.

...

Crystals could be seen everywhere as there are back on 18 floors.

"Phew, looks like we did not fall much deeper"

Jin said in relief, while he was suddenly grab by Tsukiumi.

"Why did you grab my hand!? we might both die if we fell on a much deeper floor"

Tsukiumi said with anger as Jin scratched his cheek using his finger.

"Still I would rather grab your hand than lose you"

Jin replied to her bashfully making her heart shaken to the very core.

"You fool, it was supposed to be the Sekirei that protect their Ashikabi"

Even though Tsukiumi said that to him, she was feeling very happy about on what Jin replied to her.

"Well you are very strange men, well as my Ashikabi I give you a passing grade"

Tsukiumi said as she kiss Jin on his lips while wings of water sprouted on the back of her neck making Jin dumbfounded.

"Jin!"

"Yes?"

"Remember this, from now on, the only one allowed to kill you is me, Tsukiumi"

Jin was stunned because of Tsukiumi and could not help but be mesmerized by her beauty.

"Forever and Ever"

Tsukiumi said to him bashfully as she look at him behind her.

...

...

...

"Tsukiumi I ---"

----Vhoomm

"What is happening!?"

Tsukiumi exclaimed in shock, as the whole area of the 18th floor shook with earthquake and the exit from both upper and lower was sealed.

Jin looked at the ceiling and sees two black figures drop into the center of the 18th floor.

(Why this scenario was happening, and why the difficulty has risen? not one but two black goliaths appeared!!?)

Jin screams in his mind while thinking that this scenario was supposed to happen when Bell goes on this floor.
