Reincarnated in sekirei

( Yuuki's POV )

After resolving that little bullying incident, I returned to the temple with the girls behind me for the next step, I went to the place where Takao and Atago appeared, and there I put a hand on Erica's back and poured some of my magic power into her.

Within seconds, she reached her limit, and her legs gave out, I grabbed her before she fell, but she wasn't too worried about it and immediately tried to use magic.

Her efforts barely managed to create a small flame on the tip of her finger and she frowned in annoyance.

Erica: This isn't like last time.

Yuuki: The Materia I created skips magic circles and spells to use magic directly, using it yourself requires more training.

Erica: But you don't have that problem.

Yuuki: My species specializes in manipulating internal energy to use abilities like magic directly or for physical augmentation, why don't you try the second one?

Erica had already shown her physical prowess, but now, when she performed a jump, she was able to reach three meters easily, I did the same process with Liliana, and then I created a training ground for us and Shera.

While Erica and Liliana were busy with just Claire, of the three of them I always felt that she put up a barrier with me but she still acted friendly so I ignored that, A while ago she asked me if I could give her magic like the other members of the Order of the Cross but I didn't have the proper equipment to do that, I could help Erica and the others because their ancestors could use magic.

The only thing I could do was give her some Materia and start a lighter training than the girls.

//////////////////////////

The next day, during lunchtime, Erica approached me and excitedly dragged me out of the classroom, she wanted to talk about magic training, but when she opened the door to the classroom, we ran into the brothers from the day before.

We ended up eating in a large group, Erica and the others, Hajime, and the siblings.

The boy was called Akira, and the girl was Hikari, they wanted to thank me for the other day, and the girl presented me with a home-cooked meal, which was a little burnt, but I gratefully accepted it anyway.

Because of the brothers' presence, we couldn't talk about anything related to the supernatural, but Erica wasn't petty about it, because of her family duty, she doesn't have many opportunities to make normal friends, so she doesn't mind having a few more, I grew up the same way.

The following school days we spent time with the brothers and when school ended we dedicated ourselves to training, But the brothers were not the only ones whose attention I had attracted, out of revenge for what happened in the park, the group of bullies put all their questionable concentration into getting at me, but all their attempts were easily disarmed by me.

To tell the truth, it was kind of cute how they never gave up no matter how much they failed, and to give them some credit, they did change their strategy, and the boss tried to beat me in sports or other competitions instead, but the results weren't much better.

After all that, a school event was coming up, a three-day camping trip, but before that, I had a serious conversation with Lucoa.

Yuuki: Lucoa, I have a favor to ask you.

Lucoa: What's wrong? Do you want a hug? You don't need to ask permission for that~

Lucoa still had her Miko outfit on, and when she opened her arms wide, it was hard to resist, she noticed that I wasn't responding as usual, and she opened one of her eyes fully and gave a flirtatious smile.

Yuuki: ... I'm being serious, while I'm away, I need you to protect Hajime's parents, you don't need to fight, but if an emergency arises, I don't think that will happen, but still, I want you to keep them away from danger.

Lucoa: Ok you can leave it all to me~

Even though it didn't seem like it, I knew that it wasn't an empty promise, and Shera and Atago would also be staying here so I could rest easy, I was also hoping that Astraea would stay here, but...

Astraea: Master, I already packed everything we need for our trip!

Astraea was someone who wore her heart on her sleeves, and when I told her about the trip, she excitedly announced that she wanted to come with me, I couldn't say no to that face, so I told her she could.

Yuuki: What are you carrying there?

When Astraea said she was ready, she appeared carrying a backpack twice her size, And when I questioned the content of it, she put on a smile and answered with one word.

Astraea: food~

Yuuki: and?

Astraea: food~

Yuuki: I see you have your priorities straight, I'll see you tomorrow then.

When I was done with that, I went back home and packed my own bags.

//////////////////////

The next day, when the students boarded the transport buses, I was sitting in the back with my eyes closed as I felt Astrea's presence flying behind the bus, I gave her something to make her invisible so there was no problem causing a ruckus.

I thought this was going to be a normal school trip, but when we got to the place where we were going to stay, I could feel something strange in the air, it was too subtle, so I couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was.

The only thing I was sure I couldn't rest on this trip, Erica noticed my slight uneasiness and she put on a smile.

Erica: What is it? Something interesting is happening.

Yuuki: I'm not sure, I'll let Mythra and Pheliss investigate the surroundings, let's try to enjoy a normal time for a change.

It's not like there will be a shortage of strange cases in the future.

Leaving that aside, we stood in front of the teachers, and they began to put us in groups for the planned activities, and one of the first was a classic, cook some curry.
