Konayuki raised the Twin to take another swing, but Shichika saw his chance and charged at her – tripping her with his right leg and swatting at her upper body. A throw, rare in the Kyotoryu…
“Kyotoryu – Sumire!”
He landed the move just as Konayuki put her weight onto her heels, rendering her monstrous strength immaterial. In fact, by using it against her – he sent her tiny body flying!
“H-How about that?”
Having spent her whole life on the mountain, Konayuki had naturally acquired the ability not to sink all that much when she was walking on snow. She could close the height difference between them in that manner, but the gap was hurting Shichika, not helping him.
It’s hard fighting someone bigger than you, he griped, recalling his fight with Kanara Azekura, but it’s hard fighting someone smaller than you, too!
His throw move, the Sumire, had not worked out as planned. Just when Shichika hooked her leg, Konayuki squirmed free – his swatting hand had barely hit her. Sure enough, thanks to the shock-absorbing properties of the deep snow, Konayuki was acting like nothing had happened – jumping like a hare and getting back on her feet. Drawing circles in the air with Soto the Twin, with one hand.
