「Oi, what’s wrong, Doradora? Who did this to you?」

Ariante crouched down beside Doradora and began to ask questions.

If it is an enemy that can beat Doradora this far, then they are someone that is needed to be wary of. If they are roaming near the city, then I can’t overlook it.

「I was not, beaten. In the last few days, my magic power has strangely disappeared…」

「You lost your magic power?」

When I was wondering what was going on, several adventurers ran here from behind. They are the ones who are always squeezing Doradora, but now they are carrying heaps of crystal in a basket. It is probably something with magic power. 

「Hey! I brought some magic stone for food!」

「Don’t die, Doradora! You still has to live as our easy-to-use sandbag practice partner…」

「Well, at worst, even if you did die, we can still make you into a zombie with a spell.」

They apparently rushed to save Doradora with some evil intentions. What a messy friendship.

「Ah, Ariante-san also came to help him.」

「I didn’t actually come here to help but… You guys, do any of you have any idea as to why this guy is weakening? Did someone try a new poison on him?」

「No, no way. He is such an important public use item. He just suddenly started to weaken somehow.」

While saying that, the adventurers began to try to stuff magic stones into Doradora’s mouth.

But Doradora shook his head and refused it.

「That is unnecessary assistance. I vowed that I won’t attack people. But I am not so low to start receiving alms from people.」

「Damn, you are so stubborn… Then here, some vegetable scraps as usual.」

「Ahh.」

One adventurer took out a worm-infested eggplant and threw it into Doradora’s mouth. Then he started munching without rejecting it.

Ariante asks quietly.

「Oi, Doradora. Isn’t that an assist too?」

「This isn’t a meal. I’m just biting the humiliation  that kin girl gave that day.」

「I don’t really understand your standards.」

「Speaking of which」, the Saintess muttered.

「Demons near our town have been quiet recently. I used to drive them away since low-ranking demons alway come to me, but I haven’t come close to any of them in the last few days. Is there are a disease or epidemic among demons?」

「Demons don’t contract diseases.」

「If you ask me, no demons have appeared in the last few days too.」The adventurers also began to say something similar to the Saintess.

However, this incident also happened a few days ago. Is it related to the sudden recollection of the existence of the Taizan Katari Lizard?

「By the way, by the way. It seems that the demons around the world are weakening, but I don’t feel weak at all, you know? I am a special being after all. My existence is different from other demons.」

「That is so.」

To the saint that is so proud, I whispered 「Don’t make the other adventurers ask what you are okay」. And in the first place, I don’t think she is included in the category of demons, but it’s troublesome, so I just nodded roughly.

「It can’t be helped. I’ll leave Doradora behind then.」

「…wait. If it’s just this level, I have no problem.」

As soon as I tried to change to the horse-riding route, Doradora refused to back down.

He might only be bluffing to act strong, but it doesn’t seem like he wants to miss the opportunity to face his enemy, Rēvendia(‘s kin).

「Don’t try to pull a tough guy act.」

「The vegetables I just ate gave me some fighting spirit. I can fly now.」

「You sure have a good fuel consumption.」

Of course, vegetable scraps can’t recover magic power. He doesn’t look good.

「Mu! If you can fly with vegetables, then it’s my turn! Come, Doradora-san. You can eat as much as you like!」

But the Saintess, who received his words at face value, pulled a number of leeks from the sleeves of her garment. It is probably an offering dedicated to the temple of the saintess.

「I can’t. Those vegetables have a disgusting sacred smell.」

「Mu! Why are you trying to make my vegetables at fault here! Don’t hate on it before eating it first!」

While puffing her cheeks, the Saintess tries to force feed a leek through the gap in Doradora’s fangs. But Doradora is resolutely resisting it.

At that time, Ariante gently left the place.

I can’t afford to waste any more time on obstinate stupid things. While Saintess-sama is harassing Doradora unknowingly, let’s just go ride a horse.

「…hm?」

At that time, Ariante sensed something unpleasant.

A feeling of tremendous chill, as if something awful and terrible is imminent. However, there is not even a shadow that seems to be an enemy in the surroundings.

Am I overthinking it?—no, something like that won’t happen to me.

In the next moment, 

Magic power suddenly appeared on Ariante’s feet. When she looked down, a black hole appeared as if puncturing the space around it.

She tried to escape by jumping away, but the hole created an irresistible gravity and sucked her in.

「Sh*t!」

She grabbed the edge of the hole with her hands, but the soil on the ground that she was holding on collapsed and she fell into the hole.

Is it an attack from the Demon King Army? Or is it some kind of unknown enemy?

Ariante pulled out the big sword she had on her back as she felt the sensation of falling into a pitch-black space. Is there even a chance to retaliate from this kind of place? Nay, I’ll make sure of it.

And suddenly, her field of view widened.

「Take a look at this, Evil Dragon-sama. They were late—so I forcibly called them here.」

She arrived in front of the entrance to the Hunt God’s cave, which is her destination.

What she saw was Rēko holding a dagger with a satisfied face, along with Rēvendia who was bowing apologetically. Doradora and the Saintess are lying beside him.

「Oi Female Knight. Do you know what it means to keep Evil Dragon-sama waiting?」

Rēko snorted with resentment.

While giving off an overwhelming aura that seems to surpass even the Demon King.
