Kisuke Uruhara On DXD

Chapter 109

"Start training? Haven't I been practicing for the past five days?" Koneko asked Kisuke as they walked back towards the place where Koneko would always meditate.

"Well yeah... But with your current state, you won't be able to touch that Fried Chicken even if you let him off guard. You can take a few blows from his 'Queen' but that's it. You can "Don't count on your master. He might be able to strategize but he could not defeat Fried Chicken. Himejima-san might be able to do it with her holy power, but there is something stopping her from using it and I doubt." she would be able to overcome her fear without a good catalyst. Issei was too weak to draw strength from his Fear Equipment. Kiba-san, even though he has potential, he is a normal fighter now. Lastly, Asia-san is a pure healer and can only be beside one of you, and it will definitely be your master's side. In other words, your group has no chance of winning as the trend progresses." Kisuke did not change his steps and explained the situation to Koneko.

"...Then what should I do?..." Koneko stopped walking and lowered her head while biting her lips and clenched her fists.

"As far as You ... How much do you want to risk it?" Kisuke also stopped walking and faced him.

Koneko looked up and saw his serious expression without a trace of his previous indifference. He trembled as he looked at his eyes which contained a rare firmness, "... How much should I risk?"

"Heah... Konekos... Why are you asking me that? Didn't I tell you it was up to you?" Kisuke sighed but he kept looking at her.

"But-" Koneko began to tremble under her gaze as fear slowly surfaced.

"Koneko, I won't be here forever to decide for you. I'm giving you this opportunity right now to do something that you yourself decided on without me pushing you to choose." Kisuke interrupted him and continued talking. She must remind Koneko now that her future is hers and should not be easily given to others.

"..." - ".Koneko fell silent. From the start, even though he was trying to distance himself from the others, he was already looking for something or someone to lean on. But when he finally found her, he was banished. His mind came to a halt as he looked at Kisuke blankly.

Kisuke was already expecting this, but he did not expect that he would rely on her which was not good. "You'll walk this path on your own in the future because even I don't know what lies ahead. All I can do is give you guidance once in a while, but even that will definitely stop as you move beyond the realm I can. not understand."

"...Senpai..." Koneko called out to him because she still did not know what to say.

"Don't mistake me for your master. As I said from the beginning, Yoruichi and I started this out of a desire to see where you can go. I'm just someone who shamelessly interferes with your life and gives you the urge to start.in a certain direction."

"..." - ".Koneko now felt that she was getting further and further away from where she could not reach her. Now he even denies the relationship he thinks they have. 'What did he say!? What's going on!?' In addition to fear, doubt also began to take root in his mind. No matter how hard he tried to decide himself to continue what he was doing despite the possibility of losing control of himself, it was still a trauma that shaped his childhood and was unable to dispose of it easily even after learning the truth about his older sister.

"Are you scared? Which was? Don't you mistake that for fear of losing self-control for fear of an unknown future?"

"...What...?" Just as he was about to lose his understanding of reality, his words awakened him, 'Fear of the future?'

"Every time you see Aika gritting her teeth to continue her training, what is on your mind?"

"I envy how she can let go of her worries and do what she wants regardless of the consequences that might haunt her further in the future," Koneko replied blankly without giving too much thought to her question.

"How does he let go of his worries?"

"In other words, you're jealous of that idiot's ability to forget things and just do what he wants."

"..." - ".Koneko remained silent but she could now understand a little of what she was trying to say.

"You never envy her ability to overcome her training or her luck for not losing control of herself even though you two are in the same ship that could sink at any moment."

"I'm afraid of the future?" Koneko muttered.

"It's true that it became your trauma when you thought that your older sister went crazy and killed you, former master. But what scares you the most is the fact that your brother suddenly left you and you don't know what to do."

"Ah...I gotcha..." Koneko caught a glimpse of the light in the dark hallway, 'I was just hiding behind the fact that I was afraid of hurting others when in fact I just wanted someone to hold her. me and lead the way so I don't have to think about it anymore ...'

Koneko wiped away the tears piled up in her eyes and looked straight into Kisuke's eyes, "Yes.senpai. I am afraid of what will happen in the future. I don't know if I can still be with Buchou and the others as they are.At first, I thought I was just afraid of hurting them if I used Senjutsu, but it seems like what you said is the truth, but it seems like what you said is the truth, I'm afraid they'll turn their backs on me if I become like my brother. I don't want to be left alone anymore..." Although he had just wiped away his tears, his tears started to fall again.

Kisuke finally smiled and patted his head, "Now that you finally know and admit it to yourself, it means you've started something instead of running away from it. I'll be honest, I'm not a psychiatrist, so I don't 'I really know how to cure your trauma other than show it and force you to deal with it."

Koneko wiped her tears again and shook her head, "No, I'm so grateful for what you've done. So please don't call getting involved with me shamelessly interfering in my life. If it wasn't for you I would have run away all this time without me noticing. I just have a request, senpai."

"Hmm? Please."

"Please don't ever turn away from me."

"Hmmm, look. I don't think I should have done that if you asked me to." Kisuke pretended to be hesitant, but to Koneko, that was the most convincing answer.

After a moment of quiet silence that calmed her down, Koneko once again faced Kisuke, "Senpai, please teach me how to beat the Fried Chicken."

"It won't be easy~." Kisuke knew that Koneko would still depend on him but he had already started moving forward which was enough for him.

"Yes, I know... Speaking, senpai. I want to experience a loss of my self-control once under your watch. If I can't run from her, I'll hug her."
