For a while, no one said a word.

Only the Cardinal alone said “By the way, what does this number mean? If it is a number that has a holy meaning, I would like to add it to our holy doctrine.” while kneeling. For the time being though, let’s ignore him.

「Well, uh… As expected that number is a little too much isn’t it? You see, Rēko doesn’t feel so different from the usual. Isn’t it likely that it is a bit unbelievable?」

『O-Ou. You’re right…』

With sweat on our forehead, the both of us gently looked at Rēko, who was wiping the floor.

Rēko is gently wiping the floor of the cathedral that is made from marble.

—While making cracks on the place she wiped on.

「Oops… It seems like my power adjustment hasn’t caught up to this overwhelming power yet.  Fufu, I have to be able to control it quickly. After all, everything in this world is Evil Dragon-sama’s property. I can’t just smolder everything in the case that I inadvertently release my power…」

Rēko happily, and suspiciously, laughed.

「Fumu. That little girl, she is a big guy as I expected. If I don’t want to lose, I’ll have to work hard. Enka, can we go out and have a duel right now?」

『Shut up and clean the toilet by yourself.』

「Understood. I’ll do it later.」

Yoro-san took out a toilet brush from his cloak. Seems like a lot of daily necessities are stored there.

『More than that old man, quickly persuade that little girl and confiscate her power. Maybe you can reduce it by saying something like “It’s dangerous, so I’ll take back 99%.”』

「I-I’ll understand Enka-san. I’ll do my best.」

Not at all scared, I walked to Rēko who was wiping the floor.

「U-Um, Rēko. Thank you for your hard work. How do you feel after your power-up?」

「Hah. No problem at all. I’ll have perfect control on my power after a few hours.」

「About that, you see. I feel a little bit sick, it seems like I raised the parameters of your power a little too much so… That’s why I’m thinking of cutting your magical power—eh?」

No reply.

I wonder if she is shocked or something—but when I looked closely at Rēko’s face, I felt something was wrong. 

She is literally closing her ears from my words by folding her ears.

「My apologies, Evil Dragon-sama. It seems like an enormous amount of magical power has overflowed into my ear, causing my ears to be temporarily cramped. Unfortunately, I seem to be unable to hear your previous statement.」

「I haven’t heard of any physiological phenomenon where one’s ear is cramped in 5000 years. Hey Rēko? You can hear me right? You heard me, but acted like you didn’t because it is inconvenient for you, right?」

「There is no way I am blocking my ears from Evil Dragon-sama’s words.」

「See, you can hear me.」

When I pointed at Rēko’s ears with my front legs, Rēko reluctantly opened her ears, while puffing with a dissatisfied face.

「What is the reason, Evil Dragon-sama? With this much power, we don’t need to fear even the Demon King. It is possible to set up an assault and turn the Demon King into charcoal in less than a second.」

「We-Well, you are right…」

When she said that, I shook a little.

Maybe I can leave it as it is at least until the Demon King is defeated. If we are able to suddenly hit him with the current Rēko’s full power, we can beat him with almost no risk. We will need to be careful to not cause a bigger catastrophe than the Demon King with that full power attack though.

「I’ll demonstrate to you right now. I might have failed before, but the me right now should be able to easily discover the enemy’s location——”Opening the third eye, Evil Dragon’s clairvoyance, ~To feel the breath of all things~」

「So when you are powered up, your technique gains a subtitle.」

The blue light emitted from Rēko’s eyes illuminates the hall of the cathedral.

「Fufu… Please wait for a moment. As soon as I discover where he is, I will jump into the Demon King’s bosom through subspace and erase him with a full power claw attack without giving him a chance to react.」

「Be careful about the surrounding damage from the full power claw attack, okay?」

Maybe the journey to defeat the Demon King will end in a few seconds.

As I was waiting with anxiety while expecting it a little bit, Rēko’s facial expression gradually changed into a bitter one.

「What’s wrong, Rēko?」

「It’s strange. My eyes have received an enormous power from Evil Dragon-sama. There should be nothing that I can’t see. But why, I can’t find him anywhere?」

A person walked up to Rēko who was still confused. It was Yoro-san with a toilet brush on his shoulder.

「Little girl. If you don’t have any clue, follow my magic power.」

「Your magic power?」

「Yeah. When I was about to disappear back then——I felt something. My “Demon King” magic power that scattered around was taken away somewhere. Where that was taken to is where your enemy was. Try to find it.」

「Why should I receive instructions from you?」

As Rēko started to act stubborn, Yoro-san said “Fumu.” as he put his hand on his chin.

「I’m not asking you to do the impossible. And this clue is something that came out because the Evil Dragon over there defeated me. You are not intending to waste a hint that your Lord got after a fierce battle no?」

「Please don’t be silly, what are you saying? There is no way I am going to waste Evil Dragon-sama’s labor.」

Rēko got angry extremely fast, and it made her eyes shine even more brilliantly. When I looked at Yoro-san’s face, he was laughing with satisfaction.

The relationship between me and Rēko has been completely figured out. I can only give in on that.

「——Muu.」

Rēko groaned and the light from her eyes calmed down a little. I was wondering if she is going to immediately go to the Demon King’s side in order to show off her technique, but fortunately or unfortunately, there is no sign that she is moving.

「H-How is it? Did you manage to find him?」

「He’s not there.」

「Is that so. But don’t get depressed, Rēko. If you go at it steadily, you will surely find him.」

「No. It’s not like I didn’t find him. He’s not there.」

I tilted my head.

Rēko, with an unwavering voice, where it seems that she is absolutely confident of what she sees,

「There is no such thing as a Demon King anywhere in this world right now.」
