Minato's group return home for some rest after the match. It was an overly passionate welcoming on top of other things. Summary: Minato and his three Sekirei are walking home. As the match took place late at night, it's almost morning already. Minato wonders why all the matches took place at night, and Homura states that Minaka probably doesn't want other countries to see what's going on as not to have a repeat of the Kamikura Island Invasion. On the mention of the invasion, Musubi mentioned that she was kidnapped during the invasion but was rescued by Yume and Karasuba. Minato wants to hear the details but Musubi falls asleep leaning against Tsukiumi. Minato and his Sekirei finally arrive home at the Izumo Inn and are welcomed back by Miya and the others. While Tsukiumi and Musubi take a bath with Kusano, Homura and Minato are in Matsu room monitoring the tracking signal from Uzume. Matsu locates Uzume at a hospital out on the east side of the city and learns that Uzume's Ashikabi Chiho is a patient at the hospital. Matsu also uncovers that the hospital is run by a pharmaceutical firm which Higa is the heir too, and Minato is now positive that Uzume is being blackmailed by Higa. At the hospital, Uzume climbs through the window to have a look at the sleeping Chiho. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A cool-down chapter after the match, so not too much happens in this chapter. The good news is that the chapter is setting up the inevitable Minato vs. Higa showdown, and I'm looking forward to that. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for the conflict, but given how slowly the chapters come out we'll probably have to wait a while. The only other notable mention in this chapter was Musubi mentioning her kidnapping. The event was shown in the first anime series, but I don't believe it was ever shown in the manga. Musubi fell asleep shortly after mentioning it though so it's probably not the time to explore that just yet.
