[Welsh Sonicboost Knight] gains god-speed, but because it purges the armour, the defence goes down drastically. I can cover its weak defence by form changing into [Welsh Draconic Rook], but that will increase my stamina consumption. Repeating it will be hard. [Welsh Blaster Bishop] can shoot out an enormous amount of demonic-powers, but it takes quite some time to charge, and to begin with, there will be no point if the attack doesn’t hit. [Welsh Dragonic Rook] increases the offence and defence drastically, but possibly because the armour gets thicker, it loses speed. So, like that, each of them is powerful but the weakness of each form is obvious. The more the strong point is strengthened; the more the weak point will become even more obvious. I could cover my weaknesses with my combo, but as a result, my stamina consumption will increase. “If you do the combo you can cover the weakness of each promotion form, but Ise-kun’s stamina will be used quite a lot. But you won’t be able to survive if you don’t use the combo when you have to, so it would be better for you to use it, but…… Fighting for a long duration will have high risks.”
“Yeah, the technique itself is more for short-duration battles. So I should save it as much as I can.”
That’s why a one-shot contest would be preferable. The reason why I was able to have an advantage in the battle against Cao Cao back in Kyoto was because the enemy had never seen that technique before. If I was to show even a single promotion, then the chance for the opponent to predict a new ability for other chess pieces are high. [Ah, if that’s a specialised form of Knight, then are there specialised forms of other forms too?]. They would predict it like that. Well, if I take them down with a combo at once, then I would be able to give huge damage to that opponent. But the biggest problem will be the charge-time for the Triaina version of [Bishop]. Eitherway, I need to save this technique somehow. Well, if I was put in a situation where I have to use it, then it can’t be helped……
“Like I thought, I would have to take them down with a combo…… But I would have to adjust the timing when I will use the promotion, and simulate them repeatedly…..”
The sequential order is also important for the combo. I was able to do it in Kyoto, but using the Triaina-type Bishop first will be bad. It’s full of openings since I would have to charge it. Maybe I should blast it from a distance, and then narrow my distance with the opponent using Triaina-type [Knight], and then take down the opponent using Triaina-type [Rook] when I’m in front of them? Hmm…… That would be the same as back in Kyoto. I sure have no variety in techniques……. “I will also tag along with each of your training sessions like always. Just like Ise-kun, I also want to try out the idea of a new technique I have as well.”
Oh? You sure said something which makes me anxious. “New technique? Seriously? It sure makes me anxious. Do you have any idea on it?”
“Yeah, pretty much. By the way, is Ddraig alright? Lately, I haven’t seen him talking to you much.”
Having Kiba say that, I made the gauntlet appear immediately, and talked to Ddraig who has been silent for a long time. “……Ddraig, you still don’t feel good?”
To answer me who questioned him, Ddraig speaks so even Kiba can hear. His voice was that of an unenergetic person. [……Yeah, lately, there are things I think a lot about……. Haaa…….] The Sekiryuutei-dono made a deep sigh….. It seems like Ddraig feels down ever since we got back from Kyoto. Apparently he started to think a lot about my continuously horrible way of powering up. …….He has been crying the whole time after all. Lots of people around me say that it’s quite a serious thing for a Heavenly-dragon to cry. I’m sorry for being a sukebe, partner…..
“Oh, secret talks between guys. Sekiryuutei sure doesn’t question the gender of his prey.”
The one who appeared saying such joke was Azazel-sensei. “Sensei, please give me a break. Wait, did the staff meeting for the school festival finish?”
“I got out by using the excuse that I don’t feel well. Man, maybe it’s because there are foreign students, but there sure are many precautionary rules. They are saying “this” and “that”. Well, I left it to Rossweisse and fled.”
Cruel! Like always, this teacher sure is rough and has a lack of sincerity at these kinds of things! Though Rossweisse-san seems like a person who blends in with meetings and as such no matter what she says so it might be alright……. Sensei then talks to my gauntlet. “Oh yeah, Ddraig, like you asked I found a reliable counsellor.”
[I see, I’m sorry about this…..]
I made a really shocked voice hearing this conversation! “Wa-wa-wait a sec! What do you mean a counsellor! ?”
A counsellor! Is something I’m not aware of happening!? Sensei says it while scratching his cheek. “Well, Ddraig sent a message privately to me through Fafnir’s jewel. Apparently he is crying without realising it quite often lately. It seems like the number of times he sighs has increased, and that he feels his heart is being ripped apart every time he hears the word “oppai”, “tits”, and “breasts”.”
When I heard that, I became speechless. ……..What on earth……..!? I ask Ddraig once again. “Wha…….! Seriously……. ?”
Ddraig says it after making a deep sigh. [Yeah, I’m sorry, partner. I really can’t get motivated….. But there won’t be a problem with pulling up your power…….. Haa……]
……Something which is beyond what I imagined is happening to Ddraig! Mainly his mentality that is! “S..So it isn’t because I went deep within the Sacred Gear or because I thought of a new technique……?”
I then brought up possible reasons for his bad condition, but Sensei shook his head and rejected my reasons. “No, what I think is that because you have brought miracles using ‘oppai’, that made him get shocked and he started to have stress. Even if he is a being whose soul is residing in a Sacred Gear, you do know that he is one of the only two Heavenly-dragons right? If an embodiment of power and pride powers up using tits, then it won’t be weird for his heart to fall into sickness.”
---! Because of the shock, I dropped down on my knees. H-How can this be……! Because of my power-up using oppai, it wounded Ddraig’s heart more than necessary! If I think about it, this is true. Ddraig always cried every time I act due to breast related things. I…I never thought he would have this much stress inside him…..
“Well, I will tell you the contact number of the counsellor afterwards. I sure went through a lot to find a dragon-specific counsellor. Anyway, I will be going to the old-school building then.”
Waving his hand, Sensei leaves. I then stroke the gauntlet while being in shock at my partner’s condition. ……..I’m sorry, Ddraig. For you who always helped me to get into such state because of me….And the reason for this is because of my sukebe-power…..
