「Rēko, You’re surely a multi-talented person, but is there something that you can’t do?」
It was when I was on a journey in the sky with Rēko as usual.
Although the speed is still making me feel a little faint, I can afford to have a conversation thanks to me getting used to it these days.
So I suddenly asked Rēko something that I have been interested in for a long time.
「Not only are you able to fight and fly around, you can also use clairvoyance and transfer magic, right? It seems like you can do almost anything, but is there something that makes you feel “This is impossible”?」
It is a well-known fact from her past achievements that Rēko can achieve most things enthusiastically on the spot. However, she is not an omnipotent or omniscient existence.
I wanted to be reassured that this child has a power limit by hearing something that she “couldn’t do” from Rēko’s mouth.
「Of course there is. My power is only one end of Evil Dragon-sama’s power, so there is a limit of course. There are many things that are impossible for me.」
「Really? For example?」
「First of all, as my will is faithful to Evil Dragon-sama, I can never go against you.」
I quietly look down. The clouds are flowing at a tremendous speed, and it makes me feel a little dizzy.
「Nee, Rēko. I want to slow down a little.」
「My apologies. As we are in a hurry to defeat the Demon King, I will maintain this speed.」
「I see.」
I feel like a contradiction is revealed in an instant, but this much is just the usual.
「Also, in regards to transfer magic, it is not possible to connect the space with an unknown location. I can only do it with a place that I know of.」
「But you can see all distant places with your clairvoyance.」
「That’s right. Based on that, I suppose there is virtually no limit then.」
I look down below again. After all, this flying at a tremendous speed is making me dizzy.
「If you can look at the destination you are heading towards with clairvoyance, then you can move with transfer magic without bothering to fly no?」
「My apologies. But I think that Evil Dragon-sama’s great wings are the most suitable for a trip to a new land, so I will just keep flying like this.」
「I see.」
In short, Rēko is in the mood to fly in the sky. I tried to decelerate, but it seemed impossible no matter how I struggled.
Without being greedy, I continued to calmly confirm the things Rēko can’t do.
「Is there anything else you can’t do?」
「Yes. I am a combat-specialized kin that is a trump card for defeating the Demon King, so I have many weak points in the field outside of combat. I am a ruthless existence that is only peerless in destruction.」
「But when you were cooking before, didn’t you magically increase the amount of missing ingredients?」
「Managing logistics is also a part of battle.」
「You cured my back pain as well. Thank you for that.」
「Treatment is also important for combat activity. A permanent battlefield. In life, there is no moment where there is no battle.」
In short, although she said that she is limited to battle-related things, with Rēko’s expanded interpretations, she could manage everything as much as possible.
Incidentally, the setting ” Combat-specialized that can only cause destruction” is only there because of how cool it sounds. I’ll probably forget about it tomorrow.
But I’m beat. From the results I’ve heard so far, I can’t find something that she can’t do in earnest.
Now that it comes to this, let’s ask the most impossible thing I can imagine.
「You can’t revive a dead person, right?」
「That is impossible for me.」
I’m relieved. I wonder what would I do if she could even make such a god-like thing possible.
「Managing the souls of the dead in the Netherworld is a task that only the main Evil Dragon-sama is allowed to do after all. I can’t do anything regarding that.」
「Yeah, right~. I’m now worried that it is something that I can do, but it’s actually impossible for you right?」
「It is not something that is possible for me in the present. However, if Evil Dragon-sama delegates the jurisdiction of the Netherworld—」
「I won’t. It would be ethically out so I won’t.」
I can’t allow Rēko to do that much.
「But still, there is nothing that seems impossible for you in reality, right?」
「There are many points that I cannot reach, but when I am faced with an impossible situation, Evil Dragon-sama supplies me with the power necessary to overcome it. However, that is a skill that only Evil Dragon-sama can do, not my own power.」
It is your own power. Without a doubt.
Of course, I can’t say that out loud. However, when I am fully aware of Rēko’s power this way, the fact that I am in the position of her guardian is depressing.
「But Evil Dragon-sama. There is one thing that is absolutely impossible for me. No matter how much I struggle, and even if the heaven and earth were turned upside down, it would still be impossible for me.」
「…What is it?」
「To be separated from Evil Dragon-sama. That is something that is absolutely impossible. I will continue to be on Evil Dragon-sama’s side at all times. It is impossible to overturn this.」
On my back, Rēko puffed her chest.
I was a little relieved when I saw her proud face.
No matter how powerful she is, she is still an ordinary child.
「That’s right. I don’t think it is possible.」
I said while laughing. Rēko also nodded with a happy expression.
But after all, I would like it if you fly a little slower—I secretly thought.
