Chapter 26 - Chapter 26

The divine weapon of Prince Rama is an armament that can be ranked even among the top tier of the world.

"Kiba-kun, don't be discouraged. I see great potential in you. Your divine weapon has other possibilities—huge possibilities—and it can grant you the power to sever the holy sword."

Takumi looked at Yuuto Kiba.

This person Kiba has the potential to be quite the bishounen... In the original plot, he even disguised himself as a girl to visit Issei Hyoudou, which was a little scary. But one thing is absolute: he is loyal to his partners and truly implements the "Knight" nature of his chess piece.

"Eh?"

Hearing the word "holy sword," Yuuto Kiba's eyes showed a hint of coldness. Of course, this wasn't directed at Takumi, but at the holy sword itself.

"Takumi-kun? Has anyone told you about Kiba's past?" Rias asked in confusion.

"No, I just saw a little bit of the future and the past. You can think of it as me receiving an Apocalypse."

It was impossible for Takumi to say: According to the follow-up plot, Kiba's magic sword will evolve into a Holy Demon Sword.

"In short, just know that there are other possibilities for your Sacred Gear and keep working hard in that direction," Takumi said with a smile.

The Sacred Gears invented by the God of the Bible are used by humans, and sometimes they can exert power beyond their own limits, just like the Red Dragon Emperor and the White Dragon Emperor, who were hosts to the Two Heavenly Dragons and were surpassed by their current users. In fact, he could see this even if he didn't know the plot.

The authority of Krishna, who is the incarnation of the world and informs all things in the universe, grants the power to see through the essence of things. What a creature thinks or its origin—Krishna can understand it at a glance, and also possesses the attributes of clairvoyance and short-term future vision.

From a mystical point of view, this can be seen as a special kind of Magic Eye. Because it contains everything, it can see through everything. This skill allows Takumi to use his own wisdom to deduce a limited degree of future vision, seeing the development of parallel time-spaces caused by different choices.

At the same time, this skill can be used not only for situational prediction but also for teaching and guiding others toward the actions most beneficial to them. Or he can guide the enemy toward unfavorable behaviors, much like the battle between Arjuna and Karna. Of course, Takumi has not yet fully reached this state. But it is only a matter of time; that almost omniscient power... he must obtain it!

"Is there really another possibility for me?" Yuuto Kiba looked at his hand. To be honest, he didn't care about his own potential as much as he cared about avenging his partners; that was the greatest meaning of his existence.

"Then, I'll leave first," Takumi said with a smile after chatting for a while.

Before going out, Takumi spoke to Koneko. "Koneko, can you come out with me? I have something I want to tell you."

"Eh?..." Koneko's golden pupils swayed with emotion. If he wasn't looking for the President or the Student Council President, what did he want with her? Koneko looked toward Rias subconsciously.

"Go, Koneko," Rias said with a smile. Rias felt she knew what Takumi was going to say. Takumi had just mentioned his ability of the Apocalypse; maybe he got information about Koneko through it?

Rias knew the problems of her family members. Although they were all very talented, they were all problem children at this stage. Akeno Himejima is the child of a fallen angel and a human; she is now a half-devil and half-fallen angel, always in conflict with her identity. Although Gasper Vladi has a powerful Sacred Gear, his personality makes him a shut-in. Koneko herself is a powerful and rare Nekomata but is reluctant to use her power. Yuuto Kiba's Sacred Gear has great potential, but his heart is deep in the past. When he sees a holy sword, he goes crazy.

"Yes, President." Koneko, having received Rias's permission, walked out with Takumi with a trace of unease and shyness. At this stage, Takumi's status in her heart was still below that of Rias.

..........

"Hey, Koneko, I remember you said your sister is now a stray devil, right?" As they walked, Takumi spoke to her.

"Well, that's true..." Koneko's eyes drifted to the side. She worried that if it had been the President instead of Takumi yesterday, she might have been seriously injured by her sister.

"Koneko, you should know that I have the ability of the Apocalypse. Have you ever thought about your status in your sister's heart?" Takumi continued. Just as he finished, he saw the exclamation mark on Koneko's head, representing a sign-in.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the host for triggering a Plot Sign-in! Sign-in Level: Gold!]

[Sign-in plot: The Black Cat and White Cat!]

[Black cat and white cat, a pair of sisters tricked by fate. Let's untie the knots of their hearts.]

[Sign-in time limit: 1 month.]

"Sister... she should love me very much," Koneko said after hesitating for a while.

"Then why did the sister who loves you choose to kill her master? Even if she planned to escape with you, she knew you would experience many hardships. Let me ask you another question: Do you think your sister would prioritize your safety even if she were being wronged by her owner?"

"This... she should."

"Then it's very strange. If she could bear her own suffering but couldn't stand you being wronged, why would she take the risk of killing her master?"

Takumi naturally knew the truth. The version of the story Koneko knew was incomplete. The real version was that a High-class Devil of the Naberius family wanted to experiment on Koneko. To protect her sister, Kuroka killed him.

"I... I don't know..." Koneko said softly.

Takumi stretched out his hand and touched her head. Since Koneko's favorability toward him was already high, she just lowered her blushing face slightly. In this case, Takumi was truly thankful for Kuroka's existence.
