Chapter 30 – Partner Swapping
One.
Swapping
This refers to the act of replacing each other’s coupling partners.
However, it was not something I would recommend. There are several reasons, but it was because the carefully matched coupling wavelength could be disturbed.
Coupling wavelength is very important to the Holy Trooper pilot. Depending on how high the match rate of the wavelength is, the sensitivity, fuel economy, and output of the Holy Trooper change.
How much of the ability of the coupling partner can be used, that is the coupling wavelength concordance rate.
Anyway, because of these side effects, swapping between genital cavalry pilots doesn’t go well.
In the first place, there is no reason to swap if you have a good partner.
However, there are times when it is unavoidable to try swapping.
For example, there were many pilots with broken couplings in the unit due to combat injuries.
In order to fill the void, pilots who have lost their coupling partners need to be attached to other pilots somehow.
In that respect, the number of holy cavalry units in Unit 393 was about 20 in total, and 6 of them were completely unable to maneuver due to broken couplings. About 30% of the unit’s strength was almost paralyzed.
Of course, including the case of Karen and Netoru, who are expected to be able to return in the near future, there are a total of 7 units.
Therefore, swapping was inevitable to fill even a little of this power vacuum.
2.
So, the place is inside the hangar.
Currently, Unit 393 members accepted Lien’s offer and were in the process of swapping.
The method was simple.
First, a man and a woman paired up on the sexual cavalry, and then a wavelength test was done to see if the coupling was smooth.
Then, if it seems to be right, designate it as a preliminary partner, and match the pair as if putting together pieces one by one.
In that respect, there were a total of six coupling partners who were currently unpaired.
‘Four men. Two women…’
Ne Toru, who was chewing on the current situation, clicked his tongue lightly. The more I looked at it, the more I wanted to see the situation in the unit so strange.
If the coupling partners had been hospitalized on good terms, the situation wouldn’t have gone this way…
Anyway, thanks to this, the male-to-female ratio was off.
If there were 3 males and 3 females, it would be possible to replenish up to the 3rd period of sexual cavalry, but
If there were only four males and two females left like now, no matter how many pairs were matched, the maximum power that could be supplemented was two holy cavalry units.
Even if you try to find a new coupling partner by swapping, two men will inevitably remain due to the lack of women.
────Thump!
“Oops! This… It will just break.”
A holy trooper wandering around the hangar for a coupling test collapsed powerlessly. Asuna, the head of maintenance who was watching it from near her, closed her eyes tightly and inadvertently turned her head away. The sound of tools and materials collapsing around the kudangtang followed.
“… Is it as expected?”
Slowly opening her eyes, Asuna confirmed her miserable condition and licked her lips with regret.
The coupling was somehow successful, but it was because the matching rate was too low. Controlling is very awkward, probably because the sensitivity is not good.
Still, she seems to be better than now with a little practice…
As Asuna thought to herself, the genital warlord who had fallen to the floor managed to get herself up and the cockpit began to open.
The pilots who came out of it were Ceres, with her long purple hair neatly tied, and Perah, a member of the 5th Platoon.
However, the condition of the two was clear enough to compare with each other.
“Ugh… Sister, I think I’m going to die…”
“Um… Sorry. Pera. I’ve worked too hard. Are you okay?”
Perah’s appearance, which barely crawled out on wobbly legs, seemed to be suffering from lack of blood as if she had anemia. That was an early symptom of magical exhaustion.
It was a short maneuver, but to a 16-year-old boy, an older woman named Ceres seemed to be quite a burden as her coupling partner. Far from manipulating her coupling partner, she seemed to be forced to drag her around.
“Pe-pera!? Are you okay?”
Kyo-Kyo, who had been watching the test maneuver nearby, ran up. Then she naturally supported her fera’s body. Seeing her like that, she thought that even though they usually fight like that, they get along well.
“Miss Asuna. How about this?”
“Well, maybe it’s a bit difficult?”
“Is that so… ?”
While confirming her test results with Asuna, Ceres smiled awkwardly, as if it were her usual routine.
Even so, unlike Fer Ah, she still has a relaxed expression as usual without a hint of tiredness. The big reason is that there is a clear difference in skills between Fer Ah and her.
“… Could there be someone next?”
Could it be because of several tests? Said Ceres, who looked around her, brushing her hair, which was clinging to her cheeks from her sweat.
However, no male pilots came forward.
It must have been because he saw not only Perah, but also what other male pilots who did couplings came out with.
Contrary to her accommodating and gentle expression, Ceres was in many ways an unbearable woman for her current squad.
“… Hmm.”
When everyone finally looked away, Ceres smiled embarrassedly and twirled her little hair with her fingers.
Ceres’ gaze at her unit was like that of a dejected kindergartener.
But as she looked at Ceres and her troops, Toru suddenly had a question. And Bonnie Ceres’s coupling partner would have had almost no age difference with Ferah.
Netoru asked Karen, who was next to him.
“Karen. Was Ceres’s original partner 17 years old?”
“Takuya, are you talking? That’s right.”
“That guy must have suffered quite a while.”
I guessed, but inadvertently, a wry smile came out.
How much could a 17-year-old kid handle a fully matured woman as a coupling partner like Ceres? So she must’ve actually not been able to hold on to her body.
Takuya was one of the pilots transported to the hospital for this battle. Of course, the cause was damage to his magical nervous system.
Thanks to this battle, Ceres was now one of the six pilots whose coupling was broken. One of the best forces in the unit was the loss of a coupling partner.
It’s not just Pera. All the pilots who tested Ceres and her coupling had something in common.
All she said was that as soon as she got out of the cockpit she stumbled and complained of her dizziness.
The reason was simple and clear.
A big reason might be that the coupling wavelengths don’t match each other, but the skill gap between male and female pilots was too great. The young pilots of Unit 393 could not afford it.
In a way, it could be said that it was similar to the current relationship between Karen and Netoru.
It’s Karen’s big problem that she can’t fully produce the maximum output because the coupling wavelength doesn’t match, but even if she did, Karen’s skills still couldn’t satisfy Netoru.
Karen’s potential had been tested, she said, but she was also a girl who still had a lot to touch.
Still, in a way, that was Karen’s greatest strength and charm.
The fact that she wasn’t finished yet, in other words, meant that she could make it into any shape she wanted.
When no one came to Ceres, Karen sighed as she watched her situation.
“… As expected, finding a coupling partner for Ceres isn’t easy.”
“It must be unavoidable. It would be difficult for the current unit members to handle Ceres. Besides, Ceres was also from the Knights.”
“Hmm? Netoru, how do you know that? That, isn’t something Ceres usually talks about.”
“Just, how come?”
That’s what I’ve even heard from myself.
When Toru four arrived a few days after she came to unit 393, Karen was in the hospital at the time, so she doesn’t know.
When Netoru came to the base, Ceres was the first thing he paid attention to.
It is impossible not to take notice of her as she flaunts her refined, innocence with her wide-eyed smile among her younger troops.
Moreover, her origin was enough to seduce Netoru.
The female pilot from the Knights Templar was special. I don’t train my body to reach the superhuman realm like the male knights, but
I heard that in order to become suitable for such superhumans, female knights go through special training from childhood.
As a coupling partner, it was also important how well each other’s capabilities matched. In that respect, it was only natural to choose Ceres, who was fully developed as a knight, instead of unfinished teenagers.
… Of course, it broke after that.
Netoru, who was looking back at her memories of that day for no reason, smiled and raised her body. She doesn’t step up, so it wouldn’t hurt for her to step up. After all, Karen couldn’t sortie for a while anyway.
“Hey, wait a minute? Yes, Netoru? What are you going to do?”
Leaving her bewildered Karen behind, Netoru moved her steps towards Ceres. Then her Ceres eyes narrowed as she watched the four toru approaching. Rather than being gentle, it is a wary look somewhere.
“… You.”
“Ceres. It’s the commander’s suggestion, so you should try it with me too, right?”
Netoru calmly passed Ceres’ gaze, and she climbed on top of Ceres’ genital cavalry that Pera was riding.
Ceres’ genital cavalry was a deep purple, like the color of her hair. Her body looks thick and solid compared to other genital soldiers, like that of a knight in her heavy armor. It probably weighs more.
When Karen’s holy cavalry was described as nimble, Ceres’ holy cavalry could be described as massive on the contrary.
“Are you going to do it or not?”
Netoru sat in her cockpit and looked at Ceres. Still, she stood still, staring at him. Then, what finally came to mind in her cold purple eyes was her resignation.
There, Ceres turned her head to look at Karen.
The two quietly exchanged glances. It was as if he was asking for permission.
“Are you okay, Karen? If you couple with me for no reason, the coupling wavelength you and Netoru matched could be a waste of effort.”
“… That, that.”
If the coupling wavelength coincidence rate is low, it is easy to fall that much. After thinking for a moment, Karen sighed.
“Anyway, I can’t sortie for the time being. What…”
“… Is that so.”
After exchanging glances with Karen, Ceres turned her head back to stare at Netoru. Soon, a gentle smile appeared on her lips, as usual.
“Great. Let’s try it. It’s not a good thing to show personal feelings when the unit situation is like this.”
With that one word, Ceres spurred the ground and lightly climbed onto the holy cavalry. Even though she was from the Knights Order, the treatment of female pilots was special, so it was far from physical training, but it was surprisingly well-trained and good movement.
“… I just happened to be wondering about you.”
Ceres looked down at Netoru sitting in the cockpit with a provocative smile, as if he could handle himself.
It was a rather creepy sight.
Even though her mouth was smiling, there was a dangerous light in her cold purple eyes.
I don’t know why she got stuck in a place like this, but she was a knight after all. She had a different momentum from the other inexperienced members of the unit.
She seemed to be thinking of wringing out her mana properly.
