The next numbers ( part 4 )
( Yuuki's POV )
I was standing in front of the MBI building, Ana had purposefully left the area around here clear of any construction which gave me plenty of space to work.
With my fiancée's families at the camp, they needed a place to stay, we have many rooms in our house but I think they should have a place for themselves.
The construction materials were ready and I put my hands on the ground but before I activated my transmutation someone called my name.
Kyoka: hey Yuuki, what you doing?
I turned around to see the two sets of Kyoka twins, Kyoko, Mitsuki, and Mitsuha, My Sekireis and I are the strongest in the camp, that's why we don't train as much as the others, giving us a lot of free time, Seeing the girls looking for something to do reminded me of one of the most underrated problems of any apocalypse, entertainment, when people spend each day thinking only about how to survive the next day many of them can go crazy, I had to solve that before it came back a problem but not today.
Yuuki: building some houses for my in-laws.
I put my hands on the ground again and in a few seconds I created a beautiful little mansion for Saya's parents based on their old mansion, I turned around proud of my work and I saw Kyoka looking at me with sparkling eyes.
Kyoko: wow awesome.
Kyoka: Umu that was amazing!
Yuuki: pretty cool right, I have been practicing my transmutation since I was ten years old.
I took a piece of metal and used my transmutation to create a lion figurine that I gave to Kyoka who looked at it with a smile, while she was admiring it the figurine red sparks came out of her hand and the lion was transformed into a beautiful rose.
Kyoka looked at me thinking that I had done something but I responded by shaking my head, I transmuted the rose and she transmuted it back.
Yuuki: What a talent, you became a complete Sekirei after just a few days.
Kyoka raised her head proudly when she heard what I said, she was the only girl in this world who had awakened her powers so quickly and she was the only one who could use transmutation just like me, She helped me with the rest of the houses and when all the families had their houses I called the rest of the girls and my friends to give them a surprise.

When we were all together, many were looking at me confused, after all, only Ana knew what I had planned, I took a deep breath and I closed my eyes to gather all my concentration, this had to be perfect, I used my transmutation and when I finished some of them gasped, I had created an exact copy of the place where we all spent so much time together, Cafe Endou.
When we entered we began to pass the time as if the apocalypse had never happened, Mamako, Saya-shi, Joyce and I were working behind the counter while the others were drinking and eating, while we worked Mamako was happier than all of us, this place was important to all of us but it was especially important to her, later when we were closing the cafe Saya-shi pulled me to the back room to talk in private.
Yuuki: Hey Saya-shi, Couldn't you wait until we finished work to start making out?
Saya-shi: s-stop it Yuuki, I want to talk about something serious.
Yuuki: I know, but being alone with you I can't help but want to kiss you.
Saya-shi was blushing and after she took a few minutes to compose herself we sat down.
Saya-shi: you're going to talk to my mom, right?
Yuuki: What you guys talked about at your wives' meeting, right? Are you going to tell me when that took place?
Saya-shi: that's a secret between us so stop asking, ok.
Yuuki: ok I get it.
Saya-shi: I just want my mom to be happy but I'm sure she won't take the first step.
Yuuki: right, I'll talk to her now, you might want to go out the back door.
Saya-shi got up and kissed me on the cheek before looking at me seriously.
Saya-shi: treat her well ok even if it's you I won't forgive you if you hurt her.
Yuuki: I'll keep that in mind.
Saya-shi left the store through the back door and I walked to the front of the store where I saw Mamako finishing closing, she was humming and when she realized that I was watching her she approached me somewhat embarrassed as she looked around the cafe, we sat side by side in front of the counter.
Mamako: Thank you for this Yuuki, this place is very important to me.
Yuuki: don't worry about it, this place is important to me too, and so are you.
Mamako stiffened and her eyes widened slightly but she recovered in a second, I took her hand and she turned to look at me.
Yuuki: And before you try to deflect, I'm saying that I like you and I know that you like me back.
Mamako remained silent but she didn't let go of my hand, after a few seconds she gave a gentle squeeze and a sad smile.
Mamako: I'm... flattered, but you shouldn't say that kind of thing, you're engaged to my daughter.
Yuuki: she was the one who told me to talk to you, I want to make you both happy.
Mamako: Is it really okay?, even though I'm even older than your mother?
Yuuki: that's not a problem for me.
Mamako: the last person I loved left me without saying anything, I wasn't even worth a goodbye.
Yuuki: well that guy is an idiot, you are the kind of woman you should never let go and I don't plan to.
I put my hands around her waist and I pressed her body against mine, our faces were very close and Mamako was blushing hard, she made no effort to push me away so I continued.
Yuuki: Mamako, would you be my girlfriend/fiancee?
I looked at Mamako with a huge smile and she blushed more and more, but after a few seconds, she also started to smile.
Mamako: I... would be delighted.
I leaned in to kiss her and immediately Mamako put her arms around my neck preventing us from separating, not that I wanted to separate, We kissed for a good few minutes and when we parted for breath I saw the Sekirei symbol with the number thirty-three appear on her shoulder, I rested my chin on the top of Mamako's head and continued to hug her until I decided to announce a fact to her.
Yuuki: oh and just so you know, Hilda, Ana, Ema, and Eu are much much older than you.
Mamako: what!? But they look so young
Yuki: so do you.
