「I understand Evil Dragon-sama. For giving me the opportunity to make up for a loss, I sincerely offer my gratitude.」

At the same time as my shout, a shadow of something going godspeed across the plains can be seen.

I’ve shown you an example——with that one sentence, Rēko accurately understood my intentions. That I “leave the rest to you”.

「Foolish choice of words. You should have already known that Rēko-jou is no match for me.」

The fake kin, who have regained their posture from my attacks and can escape at any moment, showed that they have some leeway from their words.

They swung their fingers at the rushing Rēko as if it was troublesome.

It was the same “Dragon King’s Claw” as Rēko. No, it’s just a magic power slash that imitates it.

If they truly have an ability to reverse strength, then that blow can exert more power than Rēko’s “Dragon King’s Claw”. It is an attack that can be called a foul play.

「The foolish one is you. Didn’t you hear what Evil Dragon-sama said just before? “I’ve shown you an example”, he said.」

That foul technique——Rēko brushed it away with her bare hands as if it were trash.

The slash was blown away into the sky, and Rēko is not even delayed by a second.

「Wha…!?」

「If your ability is truly strength reversal, then the attack of Evil Dragon-sama who is absolutely strong won’t be able to harm you. But just now, Evil Dragon-sama has dealt an obvious damage to you. That is the strategy to your abilities.」

Rēko pulled out her dagger and slashed at the fake kin.

The fake kin responded by receiving the slash with their white blade. However, unlike before, the fake kin doesn’t have any leeway at all. While blocking Rēko’s attack with their blade, they are groaning in agony while clenching their teeth.

「”Nullifying boring tricks by twisting them down with overwhelming strength”. This is the example that Evil Dragon-sama showed.」

Rēko shook off the fake kin’s defense and swung her dagger again.

The fake kin was blown away by the aftermath of the slash, as they can’t no longer escape as their body was slammed into the ground.

「Evil Dragon-sama! Have you seen that!」

「Yeah yeah. I thought you could do it after all.」

That’s right, if this child thinks that she “can” do it, then she will make anything possible.

Therefore, I give her confidence and proof that I “can” do it in front of her, the fact that I could break through the fake kin’s nonsense.

「…It seems like I have looked down on Rēko-jou a bit too much. To think that she could land an attack on me.」

However, the other party is not someone that can be easily ended with just that.

While Rēko’s attack did hit, it seems like it’s power has been reduced considerably. The fake kin stood up while patting their black robe.

「Why are you putting up a brave front? As soon as Evil Dragon-sama showed me the strategy, you can no longer win. Did you regret that you have been preaching me as a senior? Serves you right.」

「As expected, you figured out their true nature.」

「Yeah, Rēko-jou. Sure enough, you are a big deal as a kin. I’ll withdraw all of my previous rudeness to you so far. As of right now, you are certainly stronger than me.」

The fake kin applauded to praise her.

Are they buying time as a last resort——or so I thought, but they continued talking.

「But, as the pioneer, I can’t allow myself to be overtaken so easily. Then, I suppose I have to draw more power as a kin.」

With that said, the fake kin formed a knife with their fingers, and thrusted it to their chest as if committing suicide.

「Nah!」

I looked away from the unexpected move.

While Rēko frowned and bit her lips.

「Fool. Are you committing suicide because you know you can’t win.」

「Nono. I am Rēvendia-sama’s kin too. I wouldn’t do something useless like that.」

Bleeding dark red blood from their chest, the fake kin hold their blood-stained hand toward me.

「Come, Rēvendia-sama. At this edge of death, I offer you this blood of mine. I will be forever grateful if you were to give me more power in exchange.」

What are they talking about?

Me and Rēko tilted our heads.

「Stop with the jokes. Even if you shed some blood, Evil Dragon-sama will not share his power. Evil Dragon-sama will only share his power if one were to sacrifice their soul loyally like me.」

「Th-That’s right. Even if you hurt yourself like that.」

Suddenly, Rēko, who was beside me, was blown away.

The fake kin swung their bloodied hand, creating a powerful wind pressure that surpasses tornados.

「…you bastard.」

Rēko, who spread her black wings to counteract with the gust of wind that blows her away, exuded anger while glaring at the fake kin.

「Ahh, I give my gratitude to you Rēvendia-sama. You have given me more strength in response to my devotion.」

I already said that I don’t have that kind of power.

However, I’m quite bewildered to see that the fake kin in front of me actually powered up. What exactly does this mean?

No way, do I really have the ability to give magic power to others——?

「Stop with the third-rate play. If your ability is “Strength Reversal”, then the weaker you are, the better the power relationship will be.」

「Ah, is that so.」

I was convinced by that when Rēko came down to the ground. It looks like an inexplicable derangement, but in a sense, stabbing yourself could be said as strengthening yourself. 

「——If you judge it to be like that, then I will no longer deny it.」

While muttering something quietly, the fake kin swung up their hand with their fingers imitating a claw. Rēko swung her dagger in response.

「Rēko-jou, as fellow kin, I’m happy about your growth but, I cannot fall yet.」

With the fake kin’s words as a signal, the slashes from both sides were released.

It can no longer be called a slash, but a bombardment. Their magic powers were released with a roaring sound, scattering shockwaves through the ground.

The collision.

The sound of their attacks clashing with each other is just like the sound of dragons biting each other. And, the one that clearly has the upper hand——is the fake kin.

Their strength right now is enough to surpass Rēko’s rapid growth. Even like this, they are still an executive of the Demon King’s Army, an opponent that cannot be underestimated.

However,

「You can do it, Rēko.」

「Of course.」

We are no longer impatient.

It was well understood that the fake kin’s strength is tremendous. However, even knowing that, I can declare this from the bottom of my heart. That Rēko has always, and always been, ridiculous and even more ridiculous.  

Rēko turned her gaze toward me.

「However, Evil Dragon-sama. The opponent is an executive of the Demon King’s Army. It’s hard to say that I can 100% beat it on my own. So I wonder if there is a way to give me more power.」

*glance glance* She is looking at me like that.

Maybe because I was influenced by the fake kin’s words, I started hoping that I could add more Kin Power too.

I smiled bitterly. I shouldn’t worry about it too much, the future will take care of itself.

「That is right, Rēko. You’ve grown up already, so it might be good.」

「Evil Dragon-sama, is that true? Then how much will you add? About 100 million times than before?」

「That is way too much… How about doubling it for the time being?」

The moment I said “double”, there is a change in the amount of magic power she’s releasing.

Rēko’s magic attack, which had been pushed by the fake kin’s attack until now, suddenly swelled in power and began to push back.

「Fufu…this means that my strength as a kin is twice as strong as before. My body is as light as a feather. What a fresh feeling.」

「You are not growing feathers are you?」

However, there was a change in the situation again.

In just a few seconds, the fake kin’s attack began to swallow Rēko’s attack again.

「Don’t look down on me too much. The same as you, I am receiving power from Rēvendia-sama too.」

「Evil Dragon-sama, they seem to be more stubborn than I imagined. Please add more.」

「Then, how about five times?」

The magic power emitted by Rēko became a big wave of light that seems to be reaching the heavens.

However, the fake kin continued to distort the strength with their ability and reversed the situation again.

If that’s how it goes, then I will do it repeatedly.

「Ten times. Eleven times. Twelve times. Thirteen times. Eii, maybe I can inspire you to do twenty times. 」

「As expected of Evil Dragon-sama. Such supreme generosity.」

At this moment, Rēko’s magical power has reached a dimension where I could no longer understand what it actually is.

「Th-This, I…」

「Well then, Evil Dragon-sama! Give me the last voice! If possible, increase the digits and use a good number!」

In response to her request, I swung my front legs.

「One Hundred TImes!」

An overwhelming torrent of light swallowed the fake kin without even giving them time to counterattack.
