Chapter 10
"circumstances in the background"
In one of the Mikagami's residential areas. the accounting section of the hyena troops led by Ringo were busy crunching numbers.
"Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey, did you hear?"
Mizune, a purple haired female officer of seto's said happily behind ringo
However, unlike the other female officers, had no hood on and her true face was exposed.
Seto's officer can remove their hoods only in a private place unless they are those in a special position. Moreover, Mizune had a hairstyle that only people of a high rank were allowed, it was similar to Minaho and Ayeka's hair.
" Not Here, Mizune. Ringo doesn't need you to disturb her!"
"Ouch, it hurts! Don't pull my ears!"
Mizune said as the slightly tomboyish Otoka Misaki pulled her by the ear.
"I'll make her let you go but you have to stop trying to disturb ms. Ringo."
said Fuuka Masaki with a calm tone, she seemed to be the oldest
from there surnames one could assume they were officials of the Earth's Masaki village.
"but Seina caught Tarrant alive,"
"It was an indisputable one-on-one capture. I'd hate to be seina's enemy if he could manage that."
Ringo answered while watching the numbers in front of her. What Ringo was doing at that moment was managing Seina's wedding budget. she managed dubious expenses and instructed her subordinates on offering the proper prices in negotiations.
"well Tarrant is just a normal man who controls an organizations who relies heavily on high level weapons, But he is just a normal person who is no match for someone with a sharp intuition and talent."
"... please be quiet I'm busy."
"oh sorry, that's right." Fuuka felt a chill in her spine from Ringo's smile. The fact that Tarrant was caught by Seina meant that he would now be given all the remaining assets of former Shank Guild, the bounty put on Tarrant, and the money estimated to be saved by his capture and many other benefits from his capture . ringo was about to need to work over time to tally all that.
"But aren't you coming with us to Seina and Kiriko-chan's wedding ?"
"Yeah"
"Seina will have another bullet to bite when he get's married to his second set of candidates and there are plenty more where that came from, so maybe next time."
Mizune ran away from Otoka and spoke to Ringo without restraint.
"what,you aren't going to be in the third wedding?"
"It's not time yet to think about that ... ...."
"Ringo-sama, I don't understand. what place is more interesting than a wedding!"
"Is it an interesting place?"
" Well not as interesting as a newlywed couple's starter house, I'll just get freshen up really quick first....' no Let's do it right here on the table-----"
Mizune began acting and pantamiming out a fictional couples honey moon but was quickly caught by Fuuka and Otoka and was hung upside down like an insect from the top of a tall tree.
"I think if i went it would put me in a coma like Kiriko did that one time."
Ringo gave a small sigh and returned to her work.
ringo debated to herself out loud whether to hire a company that they were close with to take care of part of the wedding to improve relations with them, or to cheap out and hire an outside party and nickle and dime them.
"Even so, it's a big event, I could consider it like a wedding gift to them.... but the outsiders will do it for half the price... but Mikami said that would time five times as long for them to do the same job and then i have to calculate the market price of the wasted time and the time that's being added to everyone's shifts....."
Ringo seemed to in a panic from seeing the figures that were being spent on the wedding
Fuuka and others left her so as to not bug her further
-------
At the boarding station station, which was the gate leading to the wedding hall, outside of the solar system, guests, gifts and food items were also being transferred.
"Hurry! We don't have much time!"
Seiryo directed the staff preparing the reception. The wedding ceremony was managed jointly by Rasepshi and the Tennan conglomerate.
"No way!" And a large transport ship approached. it was the daruma!
The staff on the ship called Seiryo.
"I'm sorry. we're a little late. "
Barry and Cohen were reflected on the monitors that were projected.
"Whoa, it's you guys!"
"Oh, it's been a while! "
------
"I see. so you'e now in the transport industry."
Seiryo had talked with Barry and Cohen while setting up
"and what about you? i see you're catering events now?"
"Hmm yes, business is prosperous." Seiryo seemed to be glad to see his former subordinates.
"So where's Alan?"
"We don't know and we don't care ..."
"He's probably out in space some where with that Loretta girl scheming up something like he always is." Barry and Cohen said in a puzzled manner as they looked away.
"Well, in that case it's for the better I don't know how you two ever let yourselves fall in to a crowd with the likes of him.
"Yeah, tell me about it."
-------------
"do you think We're allowed to be here... this gathering is so intimidating."
Rajau said to Kenneth, as they looked around the reception hall
"It's not fancy i understand why they wouldn't want anyone to drink too much, but there's nothing to eat here either." Miranda said There were no free hors d'oeuvres or drinks it felt odd considering the hall was filled with upperclass VIP's.
"Even so, I know why Rajau feels place." Caliche gave a big sigh.
They were surrounded by the highest leaders of each country, the royalty aristocracy, and the other VIP equivalents of that, It was natural that the newly graduated cadets felt out of place.
-------------------
"Nice to meet you, I'm Acha" Acha who came to the Yamada family table with Airi gave a greet to Seina's family.
"Oh How nice of you."
"Uwaa! Cute!" Yoshiko approached Acha. she wanted to hug her.
"I'm Yoshiko, my older brother is Seina, nice to meet you, Acha-chan"
"Yes, nice to meet you, sister Yoshiko"
"Sister, please don't call me that"
"Yes, Yoshiko-onee-chan ......!" Yoshiko couldn't bare the cuteness. she hugged Acha.
" so are the Wau are a large species? i can tell I'm in space just from looking at her." Nishia looked at Acha while smiling.
"She's so cute i want to show her to our neighbors... ... Can we bring her back with us?"
"I wish you could ... ...." Airi said with a bitter smile to kyoko's words that she hoped were a joke.
"Yoshiko-chan!"
Kai came running to the table. Tsukiko was behind him. One after the other Acha introduced herself and greeted them,
"Mother, I'd like to go say a little something to Seina ... ...."
"There's not much time so hurry up" Tsukiko said as she watched kai run off with Yoshiko, she spewed a small sigh.
"is Tenchi with you?"
"They've already arrived but, as there are many people dying to get to know them, we are keeping them in the waiting room till just before the event."
"oh ... ... other then that, are you as disappointed as I am?" kyoko looked at Tsukiko with a grin.
" about What?"
" I wanted to see you lying in that seat" kyoko glanced at the brides seats.
"damn it ... ... just give it time"
"Ho ho ... ... that's what I expected."
(... .... Oh, my poor son, your future household is going to be far too expensive with all these girls.)
Nishia sighed.
---------------------------
"............" Seina who had been called to the waiting room occasionally stared at the mirror and was concerned that his appearance was off.
Of course it wasn't that he didn't have confidence in his appearance, but he was worried he didn't compare to kiriko's majestic appearance. he stood himself up straight and but was still afraid he might get caught on the floor and stumble.
(It's not like I haven't been this strained before right? It's still less tense then when i fought with Tarrant ... ...)
he was fortunate in a sense that his mind was fortified thanks to the Tarrant fight. As long as he remained calm he didn't have to worry about making any big mistakes. he took a big deep breath and tried to calm his feelings.
(I suppose the wedding venue is just another battleground for me)
(I won't fail Kiriko. I'll finish this wedding safely.) thinking of his wedding as a mission made him calm down quite a bit. But As for the subsequent honeymoon, he knew he would be nervous even more so he kept a lid on that thought for the time being.
"Alright! Let's do this."
"Onii-chan, are you okay?"
"What? Yoshiko ... ... What are you doing here?" He turned around surprise to she her and Kai holding hands.
"……Huh?" Even Seina who was a bit insensitive to the topic could sense a lovey dovey feeling between them.
"... ... are you guys, by any chance?"
"yeaaaaaaaah ♪"
"Well ... that's why where here."
Yoshiko and Kai made a bunch of romantic poses with each other, you could tell they made a good couple.
"What, you guys, didn't you tell me sooner...?"
"we didn't want to overshadow you and kiriko's thing !"
... .... uhm sorry we didn't tell you sooner "
.
"Onii-chan, we figured you'd be busy after the wedding with honeymoon right? So we decided to tell you know.
"... Well, uh, ... I don't mind now that i know ... but, it's still too early for me to call Kai my" brother in law "!"
"Ha ha ha! What are you saying, if you marry my sister Kiriko, that already makes you my brother in law doesn't it?"
"Oh ...... that's right."
"I was surprised when i learned that both Kiriko and you had actually gone into space, well that and the black eye i got when i found out."
"black eye? ... .... No way did you get attacked by Space pirates?"
"Well, before they took me into space to tell me both my mother and the other village people joined Mizune and Yoshiko chan, and they pulled me into a dark room and sucker punched me unconscious..."
"Owch..."
"Yeah, very much ..."
"Well, brother we got to go!"
Yoshiko and Kai went out of the room but seina noticed they were going the wrong way and would end up back at his room in a bit if they took that path.
a loud chorus arrangement of a GP song began to flow into the room from the hall. it was a song used when taking actions in various situations. Especially at the GP Academy, it was familiar because it went well when paired with large student gatherings.
"............" Hakuren, came in with the rest of the girls and stopped to look behind her and confirm something, once the others looked back and affirmed, she took a deep breath, she approached Seina.
"... Mr.seina"
"Yes? ...... Hakuren !??"
when he turned to look at them he noticed they were wearing clothed in a style he had never seen before it was very Indian looking in appearance.
"uhmmmmmm……?"
"We would like to thank you for all your help."
"help?"
"Yes, please forgive us for having to do this." Hakuren's said, Gyokuren quickly hugged Seina. with a leisurely expression.
"hmmff!"
Gyokuren's expression and the exquisite feel of her body and her good smell was the last thing seina noticed before he was rendered unable to move Gyokuren restrained his paralyzed body
"we didn't even have to chase him... darn i was hoping this would be more fun..."
Gyokuren said looking at seina
"Hurry up! is the ship ready?" Hakuren summoned a floating gurney to transport seina
"tie him to it! hurry"
-------
"Kai, your so cute, ♡"
"No You!" with extraordinarily bad timing the foolish couple had circled around the aquarium and the hall and had come right back to his room as seina had predicted.
"Well, onii-chan ... wait... what is going on?"
seina noticed seina tied up to the floating gurney and the pretty girls around them.
"... ... Sorry to disturb you, Seina. I didn't know you were into that sorta thing." kai said
(Next time is see washu i should ask her if she can make something to drop a pan on someone's head when they do something stupid like kai.)
Seina thought before thinking to call for help. Of course, he also thought it to distract him the feeling of Gyokuren feeling him up.

11 "chase and pursuit"
The entrance of invited guests ended in the reception hall, and everyone was in their seats.
Tenchi also entered with the place when the venue became dark, but there were several others, the entrance was set up to the others couldn't make out each others faces as they went to their seats.
A spotlight shined on airi.
"Everyone, thank you very much for your time today, without further delay let's proceed with the wedding of the Yamada family, the Masaki Jurai family, the Kaunaq family, the Balta family, and the Melmas family"
a thunderous wave of applause filled the venue. jeers and boo's against Airi were mixed in, but that was normal for her.
"I'll make you pay for that later! any ways .... First off let's introduce our four brides!"
four spotlights hit the gates decorated with motifs for each of the four brides that matched there dresses which flowed behind them as they came out.
their appearances were.greeted by great applause, and the four walk forward to the front of the altar. A Former top model, A member of the Royal Jurain Masaki family, The former shrine maiden of Melmas, and the first princess of the newborn Balta kingdom. they were beautiful women all on their own but together their power was even more stunning the the sum of each of them.
seina's father seemed worried that his son wouldn't be able to compare to the sight of the girls.
"The success of Seina is so wonderful, I'm glad you could be here to see this." Seto gently whispered to Nishia
"Following an entrance by the groom · Seina Yamada from the front entrance, everyone give a big applause!"
There was even more applause than before, it was like a storm the gate was opened and out transferred,
"Yoshiko !?" Seina's parents seemed suprised
"Kai! what are you doing ..." Tsukiko was shocked too. The venue began to buzz with confusion.
"Oh, uhm ... uh, Onii-chan, seems to have been kidnapped ... Ehehehe" Yoshiko laughed awkwardly. Everyone in the venue burst out with surprised reactions.
------------
"Miyaaaaaaaaaaaaaohooooooooon!"
The Kamidake jumped out of it's dock so fast and without hesitation that it destroyed the dock and shook the wedding hall. the energy reaction could have been detected from earth but it was lucky invisible on earth since it was on the dark side of the moon.
"What are those crusty old hag's guards thinking!
On Kamidake 's bridge, the Fuku clones and Kiriko's girls were wearing their wedding dresses as they stared at the Hakuren' s girls ship on the main monitor 's radar as if they were their lifelong enemies.
"I don't really understand what there motive is." The humanoid Miki said with her arms folded
" Gyokuren would do this as a joke but the others are involved so I have no idea either."
"Hey Ryoko, how are we coming along on video?"
"Just a moment please."She tinkered with the display for a moment.
"We have video !" the ship was displayed on the screen
"I've never seen that type of ship" The ship had quite a distinctive shape, it looked like Aladdin's magic Lamp.
"... ... no identification number, that's an unregistered ship!"
"is it a Pirate ship?"
"I've never seen a ship of such a shape."
ryoko said continuing to fiddle with a control panel
"database search complete ...... It's most likely a ship belonging to the Renza Federation!"
"what do they want him for!"
"Why would someone from renza want to kidnap Seina?"
"ZINV obviously."Miki and Kiriko both said. they looked at each other in agreement
------------------
The bridge of Hakuren 's ship was like the bedroom of the Maharajah or the Sultan' s residence. the operators seat was a huge bed, just like with the royal ships, it didn't seem at all like the bridge of a ship.
"I'm really sorry that we have hidden our identities from you until now, in fact we are spies who came from the Renza Federation." Seina was laid down in hakuren's bed as if he had been kidnapped, before him Hakuren keeled over him hung her head low in shame.
"Why?"
"Our Federation, Renza was being over run with pirates."
"Seina-sama's your power was able to destroy the daruma guild in a short period of time,
we are in awe, please lend us that power too"
"Um ... ... can you get off of me soon?"
"Oh, why?"
"............" Seina cried silently. just like with gyokuren's embrace, there were certain things that just caused any normal healthy boy, to experience the condition he was experiencing.
"Oh no were being followed by the Kamidake! This is bad." Karen announced. the Kamidake was displayed on the monitor.
"Suiren, aren't you going to attack?"
"Our enemy is the Kamidake ...... that would be suicide."
"damn it... even though we're in our most advanced ship we won't be able to scratch it." Karen gritted her teeth
"Can we run away?"
---------------
In the wedding reception everyone was busily watching the live commentary and video feed from the Kamidake's bridge, The staff brought out a strong liqueur to everyone that was supposed to be reserved for after the wedding and thus everyone watching was getting very drunk very fast.
"Don't those girls ever get tired of this?" Komachi drank a glass of wine with one hand, as the Kamidake reflected on the monitor
"He's quite troublesome indeed." Seiryo approached Komachi as her waiter and poured wine in her empty glass.
"You're looking the same as ever, What are you doing here?"
"this event is being staffed by the Tennan conglomerate"
"So your waiting on the patrons personally ...?" Komachi was suddenly handed a small bouquet from Seiryo and she looked up at Seiryo bewildered.
" it will be your birthday tomorrow right? I know this is little early but here is a present."
"what ...! ... ... how did you know It was my birthday."
Komachi diverted her gaze in embarrassment and was playing with the flowers with her fingers.
"Once I became your boss, I had control of all of the data of my subordinates."
" my birthday hasn't been celebrated by anyone for many years .... this is something else ... ... I'm glad I'm embarrassed ... ...." Komachi was blushing and shy. , Seiryo his tie, bulled up the seat next to him, and sat next to Komachi.
"Well, today I have finished my work, I guess I better sit and watch my poor students predicament".
"That sorry i ever called you a bad teacher." Komachi smiled seiryo poured them some more wine
"Here's to hoping they have a fortunate future."
Ching! they smiled together as they clanged their glasses together
× × ×
"Uhuhuhu! that Seina guy, is still a hoot. I don't think i've ever laughed this much."Ryoko said she picked up some wine from a waiter and drank it delicately.
"Ryoko, it's not something to laugh at!"
"Washu-chan, can you do something?" Tenchi was looking at Washu with a confused face.
"Kiriko's and the rest are chasing him, don't worry."
"But what about Seina ...."
"Oh, well, if your worried about that why do not we make this a simultaneous live broadcast?"
Along with the Kamidake bridge on the large screen, the bridge of hakuren's spacecraft was displayed through the philosopher's stone washu had given seina.
"Oh!" he crowd of the venue was in awe at the sight of hakuren's girls and Seina.
"so Tenchi, is this good enough?"
"... ... let's look at situation for a while longer." Tenchi gave a small sigh to what he saw
Thinking about it, they were some of Seina's future wife candidates.he wasn't that worried.
------------------------
some people where laughing in the crowd but one was clearly upset.
"Seto, you knew didn't you?"
Utsutsumi glared at Seto sharply. Airi, Mikami, and Tsukiko were also staring daggers at seto.
"Of course I knew, but I didn't think that they would do it today."
"And you hired those girls! how could you! "
"... What the heck is it were you thinking Seto?"
"Their original purpose was to get a Royal Tree, I guess they wanted to use it for Renza to fight the Space pirates, because they seems to be using a much the lower-generation royal Tree for their humanoid weapons..."
"and then Seina got ZINV, is that why he's been kidnapped?"
"But wouldn't they have just owned it if they married Seina?"
"... ... So there in a hurry?"
if they were married they could use the kamidake or kiriko's ship or zinv without any trouble, so they must have been in a hurry.
"Hakuren's ship wont escape from the Kamidake so easily, for the time being, let's have some fun and just watch the situation play out."
"Huh ......" everyone gave up protesting seto's motives.
--------
"Well! What disgraceful outfits! Let's Get those hussies away from Seina as soon as possible!"
Miki said when she saw how all of hakuren's girls were dressed.
----
"I'm sorry. but this is the safest way to keep Seina from trying to get free and to keep us safe. "
They tied gyokuren to seina. If seina tried to get out of his restraints by force he would hurt Gyokuren.
"Karen! How can you be ok with doing that!? " Kiriko pushed Miki out of the way
"Gyokuren is the most dangerous one of us! It's leverage!"
Kiriko had kept her mouth shut on that subject unintentionally. Certainly there was no doubt that Gyokuren would love to get into some mischief with Seina it the other's were detained.
It is a strange idea to strap the most dangerous person to Seina. but Gyokuren seemed to be glad to be chosen for it. Of course It worried kiriko in another sense.
----
"Ho ho ho, this is getting interesting"Mikami smiled
----
" return Seina before this gets out of hand!"said Miki who was pushed away earlier, she pushed Kiriko out of the way this time.
"I 'm sorry, but I can't do that"
"Then let me know why Karen"
"I 'm sorry, but ... ...."The three of them went on like that as everyone watched
---
"Ms. Kiriko, Miki, and Karen are really similar in how they act aren't they? ... is this is also the influence of the original civilization from a billion years ago ...."
"I noticed too when I heard the detailed story from D, although there are some differences, their atmospheres seems to be very similar in general, Kirche resembles one of the women and It seems that Miki is exactly the same in appearance of one of them as well. "
"Ms. Seto, that woman and the other woman before that, how are they alive ... ...."
The people in venue began to realize that was the dead Miki Steinbeck, and, above all, the long missing AI idol Kirche.
"Oh my, those girls are helpless ... oh Well, this is some good entertainment."
--------
"Stop asking me questions! We'll do as we please."
"Karen! If you don't tell me now I'll only have to pry it out of you by force later! "
"I don't mind. Bring it on. "
"oooooh now you've done it I'll show you!"
"Stop You're being too agressive! " amane said
"But, Professor Amane! If this goes on……" miki said
"Miki your also a graduate of the GP like me, so you know this is not the way to negotiate!"
"How to negotiate? But How they're totally unwilling to do that! ... "
"hmmm...... I did not want have to play this card but you four have made me ... .... "
Amane brought Acha up to the screen suddenly"Come on, Acha, go! "
"Karen, please return the brave man. Please! you too Karen! wont you please come back and be a family with us again!" Acha appealed to the girls with a tearful eyes.
Apart from being instructed by Amane to say something, she was being completely genuine in saying that she wanted Karen to come back as well as Seina.
"Uwaa!" Karen seemed unnerved behind her Hakuren, Suiren, and Gyokuren seemed to be unnerved too.
-------
"Ho ho, persuasion by appealing to their family dynamic is quite a basic tactic isn't it?"
"Even so, Acha's technique is quite fearsome and destructive in power, isn't it?" Seto was impressed. There seemed to be a lot of people who had broken out in tears all over the venue, and there were sounds of people blowing into their tissues coming from here and there.
----------------------------
"HUHUHU! I'm not done yet "
Amane next put Fuku on screen.
"Miah! Miah! Miah! "
"Karen-sama pleaaaaaaase ..."
Tears fell from Fuku's and acha's faces!
Karen 's attention was completely directed towards the Cabbit and the Wau.
They were too distracted to notice the Kamidake was about to approach the range needed to use a tractor beam.
---------
"Hmm, we should put that tactic in the textbook. Even so ..."
When Airi looked back, the staff from Racepshi had begun taking bets as to whether or not Hakuren would escape the kamidake.
"I think that's a stupid bet personality"
"Ho ho, apparently, Kamidake seems to overwhelming have the upper hand, which one do you think will win Seto-sama?"
"Victory is surely going to the Kamidake ... ...."
-------
"Were sensing a large weight shifting out of subspace dead ahead! " Ryoko screamed it echoed through the venue
"on second thought I don't know just yet," Seto said something appeared on monitor in front of the kamidake
"Rasepshi !?"
What came out of the jump out was the planetary scale ship "Rasepshi" which was also the mother ship of those who operated the wedding venue.
---------------
"Why is the Rasepshi here !?"
"Perhaps the girls came here from Renza on that ship,"
"I see. In that ship, they're free to go back and forth between Renza and the Galactic Federation. smuggling would be easy and they could forge their proofs of identity too.We can't let them get on there and let this get out of hand! " Ryoko and others were confused, but Kiriko and Miki understood Hakuren 's intentions as much as they possibly could.
"We can't let them dock in Rasepshi, They will try to do a super spatial jump and if they do and we will never see them again!"
"It'll try to escape as soon it collects Karen's ship. it won't be possible for us to chase it to Renza. "
"Shit! tractor beam is out of range were not going to make it in time! "
"WE can't let them get away WE CAN DO THIS EVERYONE GO!! " Miki struck a fist into the console.
"rodger!!"
"Myaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaon! " Fuku cried in response to Miki's speech. Miki Kirche, and D also changed to their cabbit forms and sent the ship into over drive.
Hakuren 's ship entered within the inner perimeter of the Racepshi's shields. However as the massive ship powered up it's shields the Kamidake teleported inside too just before the moment when they went up.
----
"Did it Teleport! How?"
Mikami looked towards Seto as if asking for an answer.
"Kamidake has ZINV too."
"Indeed, even if there is no fusion, if Miki is available for support they can link with it and use it's power." And the next thing everyone saw was Rasepshi as it made a super space jump and disappeared.
"... .... Gee, I wonder where it went, Ho ho Ho"
"Should we let it go?"
"What else would you do?"
"The Rasepshi has complete extraterritoriality. There's nothing we can do ... but Rasepshi will treat the Kamidake as they would any other customer, so maybe we can just make due for a while with seina absent?"
"... ... but, Seto, what about the wedding?"Utsutsumi who kept silent until then stared at Seto.
He hadn't been too nervous to say anything he was just too was angry that the ceremony was ruined to speak.
"I think they should go on their honeymoon in the meantime, besides everyone seems to have to enjoyed it."
"Hrumpf!" Utsutsumi did not say anything further, but he had a drink instead because now he was nervous.
"Well we might as well not let it go to waste, since we have so many People of power here let's hold a Federation Conference."
"Don't forget Washu-sama is here too, Ho ho Ho"
If Washu made her appearance, they wouldn't have to keep her existence a secret anymore and chances were that would let them pass a bunch of held up projects in a quick stroke.
everyone quickly switched to talking about what was going on.
------------------------ 12 "Prologue to next stage"
About a year later ──
Among the shining the Kamidake appeared from a super space jump .
In the main operator's seat of the bridge, the four of Hakuren's girls sat, Kiriko's girls were on the sub level and the Fuku girls were in the middle table. Seina was in the captain's seat.
"Finished confirmation of the scan of the ship jumping in front of us, Kurokua Kingdom affiliation verified"
"Are really sure your okay, Karen? no matter how you look at it that is a ship from your country."
"If you rebel, this is just what we do, now were rebels ... ...."
"I believe in you Seina,"Karen said with a face full of fire.
Amane who seemed uneasy had her mind elsewhere,
"Hey, Don't tell me not to be a mess, I'm hungry!"
"According to Seina's philosopher stone's forecast, there is no doubt about it. there is a probability of 72%."
"that's a subtle number again"
"What is Amane?"
"Code Black!"
"There is no problem, please give a surrender recommendation to the enemy flagship!"
Karen said satisfiedly to Amane, began to declare it without delay
"roger that!"
"... What is the meaning of this, Princess? You will be sorry for destroying those pirates I decree you an enemy of his Majesty the King, and he prodigal principals of other the countries."
. "
a man who appeared to be 40 or so said on the monitor, he had the the same brown skin as Karen, it was captain Kashuruna · Kamui (i have no fucking idea how to read this name sorry I'll fix it eventually), his sharp eyes sharp resembled hers too and so did his slightly reddish brown hair that extended to his shoulders.
"Prepare to face the army of the nights of HIMC!
"Apparently the princess is having a delusional fit. I don't understand what she is trying to say. "
"Well it looks like this is going to have to be dealt with with a battle."
The final outcome of this encounter would be determined by a fight with the humanoid weapons of renza. If they could win they would have to let this matter go.
"I'll never forget this princess I'll make you regret this! "Kashuruna's face shook and turned red.
"Fine we accept! this will be amusing"
"If you lose, you can't pursue me again and if you win we will gladly let you take us to prison! Get ready!"
"Were going to win this!"
Miki jumped onto seina's knee and turned into a humanoid and firmly hugged Seina.
"Hey, Miki what are you doing!"
"It's my turn to be your backup while you pilot ZINV, I'm coming with you"
"But wouldn't D be the best for this! she's helped pilot ZINV longer then any of us"
"D, let me go and Dinner tonight is curry!"
"Good Luck!"D gave a thumbs up.
"Did you just bribe her!"
"Curry is Justice!"
"This girl does not understand how serious this situation is at all does she!" Kiriko said, Miki and Seina's seat transferred them into the cockpit of ZINV.
Miki became a cabbit and moved to a fixed position in front. the monitor brought up the enemy flagship on the monitor, it looked like a Kabuki theater's stage. the large humanoid weapon with Western armor was equipped with two long swords, it held a shield that looked like a flame and had karen's family crest on it.
"There flashy as ever. they look so foolish."
The ships used to transport Human weapons, especially humanoids for battle were also known as flower passages.

and so this one was decorated on the outside with motifs similar to what one would find painted in a kabuki play's scenery. However, it looked a bit strange for those coming from the Galactic Federation.
"Confirmed enemy is a human type! ...... Seina, its a third generation wushin (god of military arts) as we expected"
"Ok! Go on, ZINV"
"yes, my master"
Miki was in front of Seina. And behind Seina's seat was a beautiful girl who he had never seen before, she was smiling as she shot out glittery and beautiful nerve lights.
-----------
"Oooo Oooo!"
ZINV teleport ahead of the Kamidake with a tremendous roar. The intimidation that it caused was terrible, comparable to the feeling the Mikagami gave off to those who knew about it.
There was no need for an showy stage to set the mood for battle with ZINV. It's very existence was intimidating and it's sharp gaze was now directed toward enemy's large humanoid weapon.
Tenchi GXP 14th volume - Completed
*************************************
Concluding Theater Part 11
The night before the wedding night.
preparation of the brides lasted until midnight the day before. Everyone repeatedly checked over everything over and over again, and they worried over their own opinions of how they looked just like Seina had. However, they didn't want to show up to their wedding sleep deprived and tired looking. they made their final adjustments headed to the bedrooms they were each assigned.
"... ... can't sleep?"
Tsukiko, who had come to help with hairdressing, talked to Kiriko who kept tossing and turning in bed long after she got in bed
"Yeah……"
"Are you thinking about tomorrow or even further ahead?"
"that's not it!?"
"Surely you know you're special for Seina, each you first four are special, but for you four seina is the only one special. you, in particular, have a central presence in seina's heart,and that's why I'm in no hurry to be in your position. you four are the only candidates who truly understand seina the most, for now... I don't know how the future will turn out. "
"... Won't it be that way for ever?"
"I'm sure that if you fit in with the royal family of Jurai you won't have any trouble,"
"do you mean with our marriage? ..."
"rumor has it there already is a planned 3rd or 4th paring of wife's for him,you should be able to see the intention of the marriages clearly once that happens. Well, i think that maybe up to the third pair they might have his best interests in mind too but they will need you to keep them in check. That's going to be your job from now on.
with Kamidake and ZINV It was possible that they could become the founder of their own independent empire with those of the Masaki family of the Earth, it was important to strengthen their potentially weak relations with the many powerful people and nations of the galaxy. Of course it may be a trap by some of them, but that is why tsukiko emphasized Kiriko's love for seina was so important.
"If you are having cold feet, I would be glad to take your place."
"what!?"
"Your wedding dress, it's perfect for me"
"How can you even suggest such a thing ...... seriously?"
"Ohhohoho! Please don't underestimate me just because I'm your mother. Of course I'd have ayeka and sasami help me shorten the train and make it a bit snugger, but I'm about your height and weight and size Kiriko-chan.... on but my bust is a bit bigger, I'd have to get that fixed. "
tsukiko said grabbing her own chest as she boasted.
"Oh I'd look so good Of course if I wore that dress I don't think anyone would be able to tell you had even been switched with me."
their hairstyle, makeup and atmosphere was all that distinguished Kiriko and Tsukiko from each other they were very similar. if they had the same outfits and hair, few people would even be able to distinguish between the two by looking at them. especially from far away on a stage.
"Now that Kai knows his true identity he will probably be married next, and but then maybe Seina-chan and I will ... I'll let you have seina to your self for now, I think that it may still be little early, but what do you think?"
"Please don't! I turn all the other brides against you and they will give you the cold shoulder forever!"
"Oh yes. show me those fangs kiriko." Kiriko and Tsukiko glanced at each other and smiled.
"............ Pft!"
The two who were staring at each other for a moment before they cracked up at the same time they hugged each other as they laughed
"Ahahahahahahaha!"
It looked as if they were twins, they were laughing at the same time and it seemed like they were never going to stop, but they managed to recompose themselves.
"Please don't try to hold him all on your own. cooperate with Amane, remember you are a team of four people."
In that sense, it was impossible for Tsukiko to take her place..
"Thank you, Mom"
"Well then, go to bed, you don't want to have a face full of a lack of sleep to be the first thing you show your loving husband"
"I know" Kiriko smiled and Tsukiko tucked her into bed. she fell asleep smiling shortly after
"Good night" Tsukiko said she stared at the fancy wedding dress,
"I think i Would like to re-use this dress when it's my turn ... but do i really want to wear the same dress as Kiriko.... hmm.... Yeah! but I think I might want to have it altered to show a bit more skin...."
Kiriko heard her murmur this to herself in her sleep and made a wrinkled face.
The end
Here's an illustration for a section I must have skipped over when i originally rush translated this... I'm not going back to put the scene back in sorry.
it says something like: Cut it out! kirche was intimidated by all the other girls gyokuren and suiren held the younger girls ears closed firmly
I don't even know where this scene was but fuck it it's never getting translated must've been too boring to matter
"circumstances in the background"
In one of the Mikagami's residential areas. the accounting section of the hyena troops led by Ringo were busy crunching numbers.
"Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey, did you hear?"
Mizune, a purple haired female officer of seto's said happily behind ringo
However, unlike the other female officers, had no hood on and her true face was exposed.
Seto's officer can remove their hoods only in a private place unless they are those in a special position. Moreover, Mizune had a hairstyle that only people of a high rank were allowed, it was similar to Minaho and Ayeka's hair.
" Not Here, Mizune. Ringo doesn't need you to disturb her!"
"Ouch, it hurts! Don't pull my ears!"
Mizune said as the slightly tomboyish Otoka Misaki pulled her by the ear.
"I'll make her let you go but you have to stop trying to disturb ms. Ringo."
said Fuuka Masaki with a calm tone, she seemed to be the oldest
from there surnames one could assume they were officials of the Earth's Masaki village.
"but Seina caught Tarrant alive,"
"It was an indisputable one-on-one capture. I'd hate to be seina's enemy if he could manage that."
Ringo answered while watching the numbers in front of her. What Ringo was doing at that moment was managing Seina's wedding budget. she managed dubious expenses and instructed her subordinates on offering the proper prices in negotiations.
"well Tarrant is just a normal man who controls an organizations who relies heavily on high level weapons, But he is just a normal person who is no match for someone with a sharp intuition and talent."
"... please be quiet I'm busy."
"oh sorry, that's right." Fuuka felt a chill in her spine from Ringo's smile. The fact that Tarrant was caught by Seina meant that he would now be given all the remaining assets of former Shank Guild, the bounty put on Tarrant, and the money estimated to be saved by his capture and many other benefits from his capture . ringo was about to need to work over time to tally all that.
"But aren't you coming with us to Seina and Kiriko-chan's wedding ?"
"Yeah"
"Seina will have another bullet to bite when he get's married to his second set of candidates and there are plenty more where that came from, so maybe next time."
Mizune ran away from Otoka and spoke to Ringo without restraint.
"what,you aren't going to be in the third wedding?"
"It's not time yet to think about that ... ...."
"Ringo-sama, I don't understand. what place is more interesting than a wedding!"
"Is it an interesting place?"
" Well not as interesting as a newlywed couple's starter house, I'll just get freshen up really quick first....' no Let's do it right here on the table-----"
Mizune began acting and pantamiming out a fictional couples honey moon but was quickly caught by Fuuka and Otoka and was hung upside down like an insect from the top of a tall tree.
"I think if i went it would put me in a coma like Kiriko did that one time."
Ringo gave a small sigh and returned to her work.
ringo debated to herself out loud whether to hire a company that they were close with to take care of part of the wedding to improve relations with them, or to cheap out and hire an outside party and nickle and dime them.
"Even so, it's a big event, I could consider it like a wedding gift to them.... but the outsiders will do it for half the price... but Mikami said that would time five times as long for them to do the same job and then i have to calculate the market price of the wasted time and the time that's being added to everyone's shifts....."
Ringo seemed to in a panic from seeing the figures that were being spent on the wedding
Fuuka and others left her so as to not bug her further
-------
At the boarding station station, which was the gate leading to the wedding hall, outside of the solar system, guests, gifts and food items were also being transferred.
"Hurry! We don't have much time!"
Seiryo directed the staff preparing the reception. The wedding ceremony was managed jointly by Rasepshi and the Tennan conglomerate.
"No way!" And a large transport ship approached. it was the daruma!
The staff on the ship called Seiryo.
"I'm sorry. we're a little late. "
Barry and Cohen were reflected on the monitors that were projected.
"Whoa, it's you guys!"
"Oh, it's been a while! "
------
"I see. so you'e now in the transport industry."
Seiryo had talked with Barry and Cohen while setting up
"and what about you? i see you're catering events now?"
"Hmm yes, business is prosperous." Seiryo seemed to be glad to see his former subordinates.
"So where's Alan?"
"We don't know and we don't care ..."
"He's probably out in space some where with that Loretta girl scheming up something like he always is." Barry and Cohen said in a puzzled manner as they looked away.
"Well, in that case it's for the better I don't know how you two ever let yourselves fall in to a crowd with the likes of him.
"Yeah, tell me about it."
-------------
"do you think We're allowed to be here... this gathering is so intimidating."
Rajau said to Kenneth, as they looked around the reception hall
"It's not fancy i understand why they wouldn't want anyone to drink too much, but there's nothing to eat here either." Miranda said There were no free hors d'oeuvres or drinks it felt odd considering the hall was filled with upperclass VIP's.
"Even so, I know why Rajau feels place." Caliche gave a big sigh.
They were surrounded by the highest leaders of each country, the royalty aristocracy, and the other VIP equivalents of that, It was natural that the newly graduated cadets felt out of place.
-------------------
"Nice to meet you, I'm Acha" Acha who came to the Yamada family table with Airi gave a greet to Seina's family.
"Oh How nice of you."
"Uwaa! Cute!" Yoshiko approached Acha. she wanted to hug her.
"I'm Yoshiko, my older brother is Seina, nice to meet you, Acha-chan"
"Yes, nice to meet you, sister Yoshiko"
"Sister, please don't call me that"
"Yes, Yoshiko-onee-chan ......!" Yoshiko couldn't bare the cuteness. she hugged Acha.
" so are the Wau are a large species? i can tell I'm in space just from looking at her." Nishia looked at Acha while smiling.
"She's so cute i want to show her to our neighbors... ... Can we bring her back with us?"
"I wish you could ... ...." Airi said with a bitter smile to kyoko's words that she hoped were a joke.
"Yoshiko-chan!"
Kai came running to the table. Tsukiko was behind him. One after the other Acha introduced herself and greeted them,
"Mother, I'd like to go say a little something to Seina ... ...."
"There's not much time so hurry up" Tsukiko said as she watched kai run off with Yoshiko, she spewed a small sigh.
"is Tenchi with you?"
"They've already arrived but, as there are many people dying to get to know them, we are keeping them in the waiting room till just before the event."
"oh ... ... other then that, are you as disappointed as I am?" kyoko looked at Tsukiko with a grin.
" about What?"
" I wanted to see you lying in that seat" kyoko glanced at the brides seats.
"damn it ... ... just give it time"
"Ho ho ... ... that's what I expected."
(... .... Oh, my poor son, your future household is going to be far too expensive with all these girls.)
Nishia sighed.
---------------------------
"............" Seina who had been called to the waiting room occasionally stared at the mirror and was concerned that his appearance was off.
Of course it wasn't that he didn't have confidence in his appearance, but he was worried he didn't compare to kiriko's majestic appearance. he stood himself up straight and but was still afraid he might get caught on the floor and stumble.
(It's not like I haven't been this strained before right? It's still less tense then when i fought with Tarrant ... ...)
he was fortunate in a sense that his mind was fortified thanks to the Tarrant fight. As long as he remained calm he didn't have to worry about making any big mistakes. he took a big deep breath and tried to calm his feelings.
(I suppose the wedding venue is just another battleground for me)
(I won't fail Kiriko. I'll finish this wedding safely.) thinking of his wedding as a mission made him calm down quite a bit. But As for the subsequent honeymoon, he knew he would be nervous even more so he kept a lid on that thought for the time being.
"Alright! Let's do this."
"Onii-chan, are you okay?"
"What? Yoshiko ... ... What are you doing here?" He turned around surprise to she her and Kai holding hands.
"……Huh?" Even Seina who was a bit insensitive to the topic could sense a lovey dovey feeling between them.
"... ... are you guys, by any chance?"
"yeaaaaaaaah ♪"
"Well ... that's why where here."
Yoshiko and Kai made a bunch of romantic poses with each other, you could tell they made a good couple.
"What, you guys, didn't you tell me sooner...?"
"we didn't want to overshadow you and kiriko's thing !"
... .... uhm sorry we didn't tell you sooner "
.
"Onii-chan, we figured you'd be busy after the wedding with honeymoon right? So we decided to tell you know.
"... Well, uh, ... I don't mind now that i know ... but, it's still too early for me to call Kai my" brother in law "!"
"Ha ha ha! What are you saying, if you marry my sister Kiriko, that already makes you my brother in law doesn't it?"
"Oh ...... that's right."
"I was surprised when i learned that both Kiriko and you had actually gone into space, well that and the black eye i got when i found out."
"black eye? ... .... No way did you get attacked by Space pirates?"
"Well, before they took me into space to tell me both my mother and the other village people joined Mizune and Yoshiko chan, and they pulled me into a dark room and sucker punched me unconscious..."
"Owch..."
"Yeah, very much ..."
"Well, brother we got to go!"
Yoshiko and Kai went out of the room but seina noticed they were going the wrong way and would end up back at his room in a bit if they took that path.
a loud chorus arrangement of a GP song began to flow into the room from the hall. it was a song used when taking actions in various situations. Especially at the GP Academy, it was familiar because it went well when paired with large student gatherings.
"............" Hakuren, came in with the rest of the girls and stopped to look behind her and confirm something, once the others looked back and affirmed, she took a deep breath, she approached Seina.
"... Mr.seina"
"Yes? ...... Hakuren !??"
when he turned to look at them he noticed they were wearing clothed in a style he had never seen before it was very Indian looking in appearance.
"uhmmmmmm……?"
"We would like to thank you for all your help."
"help?"
"Yes, please forgive us for having to do this." Hakuren's said, Gyokuren quickly hugged Seina. with a leisurely expression.
"hmmff!"
Gyokuren's expression and the exquisite feel of her body and her good smell was the last thing seina noticed before he was rendered unable to move Gyokuren restrained his paralyzed body
"we didn't even have to chase him... darn i was hoping this would be more fun..."
Gyokuren said looking at seina
"Hurry up! is the ship ready?" Hakuren summoned a floating gurney to transport seina
"tie him to it! hurry"
-------
"Kai, your so cute, ♡"
"No You!" with extraordinarily bad timing the foolish couple had circled around the aquarium and the hall and had come right back to his room as seina had predicted.
"Well, onii-chan ... wait... what is going on?"
seina noticed seina tied up to the floating gurney and the pretty girls around them.
"... ... Sorry to disturb you, Seina. I didn't know you were into that sorta thing." kai said
(Next time is see washu i should ask her if she can make something to drop a pan on someone's head when they do something stupid like kai.)
Seina thought before thinking to call for help. Of course, he also thought it to distract him the feeling of Gyokuren feeling him up.

11 "chase and pursuit"
The entrance of invited guests ended in the reception hall, and everyone was in their seats.
Tenchi also entered with the place when the venue became dark, but there were several others, the entrance was set up to the others couldn't make out each others faces as they went to their seats.
A spotlight shined on airi.
"Everyone, thank you very much for your time today, without further delay let's proceed with the wedding of the Yamada family, the Masaki Jurai family, the Kaunaq family, the Balta family, and the Melmas family"
a thunderous wave of applause filled the venue. jeers and boo's against Airi were mixed in, but that was normal for her.
"I'll make you pay for that later! any ways .... First off let's introduce our four brides!"
four spotlights hit the gates decorated with motifs for each of the four brides that matched there dresses which flowed behind them as they came out.
their appearances were.greeted by great applause, and the four walk forward to the front of the altar. A Former top model, A member of the Royal Jurain Masaki family, The former shrine maiden of Melmas, and the first princess of the newborn Balta kingdom. they were beautiful women all on their own but together their power was even more stunning the the sum of each of them.
seina's father seemed worried that his son wouldn't be able to compare to the sight of the girls.
"The success of Seina is so wonderful, I'm glad you could be here to see this." Seto gently whispered to Nishia
"Following an entrance by the groom · Seina Yamada from the front entrance, everyone give a big applause!"
There was even more applause than before, it was like a storm the gate was opened and out transferred,
"Yoshiko !?" Seina's parents seemed suprised
"Kai! what are you doing ..." Tsukiko was shocked too. The venue began to buzz with confusion.
"Oh, uhm ... uh, Onii-chan, seems to have been kidnapped ... Ehehehe" Yoshiko laughed awkwardly. Everyone in the venue burst out with surprised reactions.
------------
"Miyaaaaaaaaaaaaaohooooooooon!"
The Kamidake jumped out of it's dock so fast and without hesitation that it destroyed the dock and shook the wedding hall. the energy reaction could have been detected from earth but it was lucky invisible on earth since it was on the dark side of the moon.
"What are those crusty old hag's guards thinking!
On Kamidake 's bridge, the Fuku clones and Kiriko's girls were wearing their wedding dresses as they stared at the Hakuren' s girls ship on the main monitor 's radar as if they were their lifelong enemies.
"I don't really understand what there motive is." The humanoid Miki said with her arms folded
" Gyokuren would do this as a joke but the others are involved so I have no idea either."
"Hey Ryoko, how are we coming along on video?"
"Just a moment please."She tinkered with the display for a moment.
"We have video !" the ship was displayed on the screen
"I've never seen that type of ship" The ship had quite a distinctive shape, it looked like Aladdin's magic Lamp.
"... ... no identification number, that's an unregistered ship!"
"is it a Pirate ship?"
"I've never seen a ship of such a shape."
ryoko said continuing to fiddle with a control panel
"database search complete ...... It's most likely a ship belonging to the Renza Federation!"
"what do they want him for!"
"Why would someone from renza want to kidnap Seina?"
"ZINV obviously."Miki and Kiriko both said. they looked at each other in agreement
------------------
The bridge of Hakuren 's ship was like the bedroom of the Maharajah or the Sultan' s residence. the operators seat was a huge bed, just like with the royal ships, it didn't seem at all like the bridge of a ship.
"I'm really sorry that we have hidden our identities from you until now, in fact we are spies who came from the Renza Federation." Seina was laid down in hakuren's bed as if he had been kidnapped, before him Hakuren keeled over him hung her head low in shame.
"Why?"
"Our Federation, Renza was being over run with pirates."
"Seina-sama's your power was able to destroy the daruma guild in a short period of time,
we are in awe, please lend us that power too"
"Um ... ... can you get off of me soon?"
"Oh, why?"
"............" Seina cried silently. just like with gyokuren's embrace, there were certain things that just caused any normal healthy boy, to experience the condition he was experiencing.
"Oh no were being followed by the Kamidake! This is bad." Karen announced. the Kamidake was displayed on the monitor.
"Suiren, aren't you going to attack?"
"Our enemy is the Kamidake ...... that would be suicide."
"damn it... even though we're in our most advanced ship we won't be able to scratch it." Karen gritted her teeth
"Can we run away?"
---------------
In the wedding reception everyone was busily watching the live commentary and video feed from the Kamidake's bridge, The staff brought out a strong liqueur to everyone that was supposed to be reserved for after the wedding and thus everyone watching was getting very drunk very fast.
"Don't those girls ever get tired of this?" Komachi drank a glass of wine with one hand, as the Kamidake reflected on the monitor
"He's quite troublesome indeed." Seiryo approached Komachi as her waiter and poured wine in her empty glass.
"You're looking the same as ever, What are you doing here?"
"this event is being staffed by the Tennan conglomerate"
"So your waiting on the patrons personally ...?" Komachi was suddenly handed a small bouquet from Seiryo and she looked up at Seiryo bewildered.
" it will be your birthday tomorrow right? I know this is little early but here is a present."
"what ...! ... ... how did you know It was my birthday."
Komachi diverted her gaze in embarrassment and was playing with the flowers with her fingers.
"Once I became your boss, I had control of all of the data of my subordinates."
" my birthday hasn't been celebrated by anyone for many years .... this is something else ... ... I'm glad I'm embarrassed ... ...." Komachi was blushing and shy. , Seiryo his tie, bulled up the seat next to him, and sat next to Komachi.
"Well, today I have finished my work, I guess I better sit and watch my poor students predicament".
"That sorry i ever called you a bad teacher." Komachi smiled seiryo poured them some more wine
"Here's to hoping they have a fortunate future."
Ching! they smiled together as they clanged their glasses together
× × ×
"Uhuhuhu! that Seina guy, is still a hoot. I don't think i've ever laughed this much."Ryoko said she picked up some wine from a waiter and drank it delicately.
"Ryoko, it's not something to laugh at!"
"Washu-chan, can you do something?" Tenchi was looking at Washu with a confused face.
"Kiriko's and the rest are chasing him, don't worry."
"But what about Seina ...."
"Oh, well, if your worried about that why do not we make this a simultaneous live broadcast?"
Along with the Kamidake bridge on the large screen, the bridge of hakuren's spacecraft was displayed through the philosopher's stone washu had given seina.
"Oh!" he crowd of the venue was in awe at the sight of hakuren's girls and Seina.
"so Tenchi, is this good enough?"
"... ... let's look at situation for a while longer." Tenchi gave a small sigh to what he saw
Thinking about it, they were some of Seina's future wife candidates.he wasn't that worried.
------------------------
some people where laughing in the crowd but one was clearly upset.
"Seto, you knew didn't you?"
Utsutsumi glared at Seto sharply. Airi, Mikami, and Tsukiko were also staring daggers at seto.
"Of course I knew, but I didn't think that they would do it today."
"And you hired those girls! how could you! "
"... What the heck is it were you thinking Seto?"
"Their original purpose was to get a Royal Tree, I guess they wanted to use it for Renza to fight the Space pirates, because they seems to be using a much the lower-generation royal Tree for their humanoid weapons..."
"and then Seina got ZINV, is that why he's been kidnapped?"
"But wouldn't they have just owned it if they married Seina?"
"... ... So there in a hurry?"
if they were married they could use the kamidake or kiriko's ship or zinv without any trouble, so they must have been in a hurry.
"Hakuren's ship wont escape from the Kamidake so easily, for the time being, let's have some fun and just watch the situation play out."
"Huh ......" everyone gave up protesting seto's motives.
--------
"Well! What disgraceful outfits! Let's Get those hussies away from Seina as soon as possible!"
Miki said when she saw how all of hakuren's girls were dressed.
----
"I'm sorry. but this is the safest way to keep Seina from trying to get free and to keep us safe. "
They tied gyokuren to seina. If seina tried to get out of his restraints by force he would hurt Gyokuren.
"Karen! How can you be ok with doing that!? " Kiriko pushed Miki out of the way
"Gyokuren is the most dangerous one of us! It's leverage!"
Kiriko had kept her mouth shut on that subject unintentionally. Certainly there was no doubt that Gyokuren would love to get into some mischief with Seina it the other's were detained.
It is a strange idea to strap the most dangerous person to Seina. but Gyokuren seemed to be glad to be chosen for it. Of course It worried kiriko in another sense.
----
"Ho ho ho, this is getting interesting"Mikami smiled
----
" return Seina before this gets out of hand!"said Miki who was pushed away earlier, she pushed Kiriko out of the way this time.
"I 'm sorry, but I can't do that"
"Then let me know why Karen"
"I 'm sorry, but ... ...."The three of them went on like that as everyone watched
---
"Ms. Kiriko, Miki, and Karen are really similar in how they act aren't they? ... is this is also the influence of the original civilization from a billion years ago ...."
"I noticed too when I heard the detailed story from D, although there are some differences, their atmospheres seems to be very similar in general, Kirche resembles one of the women and It seems that Miki is exactly the same in appearance of one of them as well. "
"Ms. Seto, that woman and the other woman before that, how are they alive ... ...."
The people in venue began to realize that was the dead Miki Steinbeck, and, above all, the long missing AI idol Kirche.
"Oh my, those girls are helpless ... oh Well, this is some good entertainment."
--------
"Stop asking me questions! We'll do as we please."
"Karen! If you don't tell me now I'll only have to pry it out of you by force later! "
"I don't mind. Bring it on. "
"oooooh now you've done it I'll show you!"
"Stop You're being too agressive! " amane said
"But, Professor Amane! If this goes on……" miki said
"Miki your also a graduate of the GP like me, so you know this is not the way to negotiate!"
"How to negotiate? But How they're totally unwilling to do that! ... "
"hmmm...... I did not want have to play this card but you four have made me ... .... "
Amane brought Acha up to the screen suddenly"Come on, Acha, go! "
"Karen, please return the brave man. Please! you too Karen! wont you please come back and be a family with us again!" Acha appealed to the girls with a tearful eyes.
Apart from being instructed by Amane to say something, she was being completely genuine in saying that she wanted Karen to come back as well as Seina.
"Uwaa!" Karen seemed unnerved behind her Hakuren, Suiren, and Gyokuren seemed to be unnerved too.
-------
"Ho ho, persuasion by appealing to their family dynamic is quite a basic tactic isn't it?"
"Even so, Acha's technique is quite fearsome and destructive in power, isn't it?" Seto was impressed. There seemed to be a lot of people who had broken out in tears all over the venue, and there were sounds of people blowing into their tissues coming from here and there.
----------------------------
"HUHUHU! I'm not done yet "
Amane next put Fuku on screen.
"Miah! Miah! Miah! "
"Karen-sama pleaaaaaaase ..."
Tears fell from Fuku's and acha's faces!
Karen 's attention was completely directed towards the Cabbit and the Wau.
They were too distracted to notice the Kamidake was about to approach the range needed to use a tractor beam.
---------
"Hmm, we should put that tactic in the textbook. Even so ..."
When Airi looked back, the staff from Racepshi had begun taking bets as to whether or not Hakuren would escape the kamidake.
"I think that's a stupid bet personality"
"Ho ho, apparently, Kamidake seems to overwhelming have the upper hand, which one do you think will win Seto-sama?"
"Victory is surely going to the Kamidake ... ...."
-------
"Were sensing a large weight shifting out of subspace dead ahead! " Ryoko screamed it echoed through the venue
"on second thought I don't know just yet," Seto said something appeared on monitor in front of the kamidake
"Rasepshi !?"
What came out of the jump out was the planetary scale ship "Rasepshi" which was also the mother ship of those who operated the wedding venue.
---------------
"Why is the Rasepshi here !?"
"Perhaps the girls came here from Renza on that ship,"
"I see. In that ship, they're free to go back and forth between Renza and the Galactic Federation. smuggling would be easy and they could forge their proofs of identity too.We can't let them get on there and let this get out of hand! " Ryoko and others were confused, but Kiriko and Miki understood Hakuren 's intentions as much as they possibly could.
"We can't let them dock in Rasepshi, They will try to do a super spatial jump and if they do and we will never see them again!"
"It'll try to escape as soon it collects Karen's ship. it won't be possible for us to chase it to Renza. "
"Shit! tractor beam is out of range were not going to make it in time! "
"WE can't let them get away WE CAN DO THIS EVERYONE GO!! " Miki struck a fist into the console.
"rodger!!"
"Myaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaon! " Fuku cried in response to Miki's speech. Miki Kirche, and D also changed to their cabbit forms and sent the ship into over drive.
Hakuren 's ship entered within the inner perimeter of the Racepshi's shields. However as the massive ship powered up it's shields the Kamidake teleported inside too just before the moment when they went up.
----
"Did it Teleport! How?"
Mikami looked towards Seto as if asking for an answer.
"Kamidake has ZINV too."
"Indeed, even if there is no fusion, if Miki is available for support they can link with it and use it's power." And the next thing everyone saw was Rasepshi as it made a super space jump and disappeared.
"... .... Gee, I wonder where it went, Ho ho Ho"
"Should we let it go?"
"What else would you do?"
"The Rasepshi has complete extraterritoriality. There's nothing we can do ... but Rasepshi will treat the Kamidake as they would any other customer, so maybe we can just make due for a while with seina absent?"
"... ... but, Seto, what about the wedding?"Utsutsumi who kept silent until then stared at Seto.
He hadn't been too nervous to say anything he was just too was angry that the ceremony was ruined to speak.
"I think they should go on their honeymoon in the meantime, besides everyone seems to have to enjoyed it."
"Hrumpf!" Utsutsumi did not say anything further, but he had a drink instead because now he was nervous.
"Well we might as well not let it go to waste, since we have so many People of power here let's hold a Federation Conference."
"Don't forget Washu-sama is here too, Ho ho Ho"
If Washu made her appearance, they wouldn't have to keep her existence a secret anymore and chances were that would let them pass a bunch of held up projects in a quick stroke.
everyone quickly switched to talking about what was going on.
------------------------ 12 "Prologue to next stage"
About a year later ──
Among the shining the Kamidake appeared from a super space jump .
In the main operator's seat of the bridge, the four of Hakuren's girls sat, Kiriko's girls were on the sub level and the Fuku girls were in the middle table. Seina was in the captain's seat.
"Finished confirmation of the scan of the ship jumping in front of us, Kurokua Kingdom affiliation verified"
"Are really sure your okay, Karen? no matter how you look at it that is a ship from your country."
"If you rebel, this is just what we do, now were rebels ... ...."
"I believe in you Seina,"Karen said with a face full of fire.
Amane who seemed uneasy had her mind elsewhere,
"Hey, Don't tell me not to be a mess, I'm hungry!"
"According to Seina's philosopher stone's forecast, there is no doubt about it. there is a probability of 72%."
"that's a subtle number again"
"What is Amane?"
"Code Black!"
"There is no problem, please give a surrender recommendation to the enemy flagship!"
Karen said satisfiedly to Amane, began to declare it without delay
"roger that!"
"... What is the meaning of this, Princess? You will be sorry for destroying those pirates I decree you an enemy of his Majesty the King, and he prodigal principals of other the countries."
. "
a man who appeared to be 40 or so said on the monitor, he had the the same brown skin as Karen, it was captain Kashuruna · Kamui (i have no fucking idea how to read this name sorry I'll fix it eventually), his sharp eyes sharp resembled hers too and so did his slightly reddish brown hair that extended to his shoulders.
"Prepare to face the army of the nights of HIMC!
"Apparently the princess is having a delusional fit. I don't understand what she is trying to say. "
"Well it looks like this is going to have to be dealt with with a battle."
The final outcome of this encounter would be determined by a fight with the humanoid weapons of renza. If they could win they would have to let this matter go.
"I'll never forget this princess I'll make you regret this! "Kashuruna's face shook and turned red.
"Fine we accept! this will be amusing"
"If you lose, you can't pursue me again and if you win we will gladly let you take us to prison! Get ready!"
"Were going to win this!"
Miki jumped onto seina's knee and turned into a humanoid and firmly hugged Seina.
"Hey, Miki what are you doing!"
"It's my turn to be your backup while you pilot ZINV, I'm coming with you"
"But wouldn't D be the best for this! she's helped pilot ZINV longer then any of us"
"D, let me go and Dinner tonight is curry!"
"Good Luck!"D gave a thumbs up.
"Did you just bribe her!"
"Curry is Justice!"
"This girl does not understand how serious this situation is at all does she!" Kiriko said, Miki and Seina's seat transferred them into the cockpit of ZINV.
Miki became a cabbit and moved to a fixed position in front. the monitor brought up the enemy flagship on the monitor, it looked like a Kabuki theater's stage. the large humanoid weapon with Western armor was equipped with two long swords, it held a shield that looked like a flame and had karen's family crest on it.
"There flashy as ever. they look so foolish."
The ships used to transport Human weapons, especially humanoids for battle were also known as flower passages.

---
and so this one was decorated on the outside with motifs similar to what one would find painted in a kabuki play's scenery. However, it looked a bit strange for those coming from the Galactic Federation.
"Confirmed enemy is a human type! ...... Seina, its a third generation wushin (god of military arts) as we expected"
"Ok! Go on, ZINV"
"yes, my master"
Miki was in front of Seina. And behind Seina's seat was a beautiful girl who he had never seen before, she was smiling as she shot out glittery and beautiful nerve lights.
-----------
"Oooo Oooo!"
ZINV teleport ahead of the Kamidake with a tremendous roar. The intimidation that it caused was terrible, comparable to the feeling the Mikagami gave off to those who knew about it.
There was no need for an showy stage to set the mood for battle with ZINV. It's very existence was intimidating and it's sharp gaze was now directed toward enemy's large humanoid weapon.

*************************************
Concluding Theater Part 11
The night before the wedding night.
preparation of the brides lasted until midnight the day before. Everyone repeatedly checked over everything over and over again, and they worried over their own opinions of how they looked just like Seina had. However, they didn't want to show up to their wedding sleep deprived and tired looking. they made their final adjustments headed to the bedrooms they were each assigned.
"... ... can't sleep?"
Tsukiko, who had come to help with hairdressing, talked to Kiriko who kept tossing and turning in bed long after she got in bed
"Yeah……"
"Are you thinking about tomorrow or even further ahead?"
"that's not it!?"
"Surely you know you're special for Seina, each you first four are special, but for you four seina is the only one special. you, in particular, have a central presence in seina's heart,and that's why I'm in no hurry to be in your position. you four are the only candidates who truly understand seina the most, for now... I don't know how the future will turn out. "
"... Won't it be that way for ever?"
"I'm sure that if you fit in with the royal family of Jurai you won't have any trouble,"
"do you mean with our marriage? ..."
"rumor has it there already is a planned 3rd or 4th paring of wife's for him,you should be able to see the intention of the marriages clearly once that happens. Well, i think that maybe up to the third pair they might have his best interests in mind too but they will need you to keep them in check. That's going to be your job from now on.
with Kamidake and ZINV It was possible that they could become the founder of their own independent empire with those of the Masaki family of the Earth, it was important to strengthen their potentially weak relations with the many powerful people and nations of the galaxy. Of course it may be a trap by some of them, but that is why tsukiko emphasized Kiriko's love for seina was so important.
"If you are having cold feet, I would be glad to take your place."
"what!?"
"Your wedding dress, it's perfect for me"
"How can you even suggest such a thing ...... seriously?"
"Ohhohoho! Please don't underestimate me just because I'm your mother. Of course I'd have ayeka and sasami help me shorten the train and make it a bit snugger, but I'm about your height and weight and size Kiriko-chan.... on but my bust is a bit bigger, I'd have to get that fixed. "
tsukiko said grabbing her own chest as she boasted.
"Oh I'd look so good Of course if I wore that dress I don't think anyone would be able to tell you had even been switched with me."
their hairstyle, makeup and atmosphere was all that distinguished Kiriko and Tsukiko from each other they were very similar. if they had the same outfits and hair, few people would even be able to distinguish between the two by looking at them. especially from far away on a stage.
"Now that Kai knows his true identity he will probably be married next, and but then maybe Seina-chan and I will ... I'll let you have seina to your self for now, I think that it may still be little early, but what do you think?"
"Please don't! I turn all the other brides against you and they will give you the cold shoulder forever!"
"Oh yes. show me those fangs kiriko." Kiriko and Tsukiko glanced at each other and smiled.
"............ Pft!"
The two who were staring at each other for a moment before they cracked up at the same time they hugged each other as they laughed
"Ahahahahahahaha!"
It looked as if they were twins, they were laughing at the same time and it seemed like they were never going to stop, but they managed to recompose themselves.
"Please don't try to hold him all on your own. cooperate with Amane, remember you are a team of four people."
In that sense, it was impossible for Tsukiko to take her place..
"Thank you, Mom"
"Well then, go to bed, you don't want to have a face full of a lack of sleep to be the first thing you show your loving husband"
"I know" Kiriko smiled and Tsukiko tucked her into bed. she fell asleep smiling shortly after
"Good night" Tsukiko said she stared at the fancy wedding dress,
"I think i Would like to re-use this dress when it's my turn ... but do i really want to wear the same dress as Kiriko.... hmm.... Yeah! but I think I might want to have it altered to show a bit more skin...."
Kiriko heard her murmur this to herself in her sleep and made a wrinkled face.
The end
Here's an illustration for a section I must have skipped over when i originally rush translated this... I'm not going back to put the scene back in sorry.

I don't even know where this scene was but fuck it it's never getting translated must've been too boring to matter
