「That fake kin appeared in your dream?」

In response to my words, Ariante’s voice showed caution.

I was a little confused because I didn’t expect to get such a big reaction.

「But it’s just something that happened in a dream, you know? We already defeated the real fake kin. 」

「That 300 million times stronger attack, huh?」

I don’t think that the fake kin that was hit with super powerful Rēko’s attack can escape safely. There is probably not even a single dust remnant of him.

But Ariante was still pondering with her arms crossed.

「Rēvendia. Do have an idea of what the fake kin is?」

「Eh? I don’t but… why are you asking me?」

「In the first place, it’s a demon that calls itself “Rēvendia’s kin”. At this point, we don’t know how much he had to do with you. And, they are also strangely obsessed with Raiotto.」

「Come to think of it, that was the case.」

I remember that the fake kin even described Raiotto as “annoying”. But I don’t think that Raiotto, an ordinary boy, could have contact with a powerful demon that is also an executive of the Demon King Army.

「…This is just my intuition, but that fake kin may have something to do with that village that worshipped you.」

「Village? The village where Rēko and Raiotto are from?」

Yeah, Ariante nods briefly.

「Raiotto’s clan continued to worship the Evil Dragon Rēvendia as the village priest. And if the fake kin has something to do with both you and Raiotto, then it is likely related to that village.」

「Raiotto clan is that right? The one with legends of heroes.」

「What, so you knew about it.」

I’ve read the books at Sheina’s place. And the content certainly is—

『A man who was once called a hero challenged the violent Evil Dragon Rēvendia to a battle to stop him. The battle ended in the victory of the Evil Dragon, but the hero managed to inflict a sword wound on the Evil Dragon. The Evil Dragon, whose black scales’s protection is something that even gods cannot penetrate, had found an unknown possibility for humans. Since then, the Evil Dragon has become neutral to humans and refrained from killing.』

It went something like that.

Of course, not a single hair of this was true. If a hero really did come, I would be shredded in an instant.

Incidentally, the legendary hero’s sword that wounded me is the jewelled dagger that Rēko is currently using. Ariante once said that, “ The decoration is luxurious, but it is less than third-class for practical weapons. It’s probably some fraudulent prop.” It is usually so powerful because Rēko has extraordinary magic power.

Ariante groaned.

「The anomaly that sprouted your magic power and your dream with the fake kin may not be unrelated. If we want to find out who they actually are, we should go to the village and investigate it.」

「Is it better for me to go?」

「Rather, don’t come. What do you think would happen if you visit that village.」

「There is going to be a ridiculous fuss.」

Doing that may even induce a new sacrifice. And if that happens, the situation will be chaotic and Ariante’s investigation won’t proceed.

Here, the Saintess interrupts our talk.

「Then, why doesn’t lizard-san rest in my town during that time?」

「Oh! That’s right.」

Seiren, the Saintess’s town, an area famous for producing vegetables, is the best place for me to stay. I troubled the inhabitants in the past, but it should be okay if I disguise myself with a mask.

However, there was someone who clung to my neck when I was about to float.

「Nee, Rēvendia…? I don’t think that it’s true but, you are not going to spend your vacation with that stupid child right…?」

Sousou threatened me with a gentle tone.

While grinding her teeth with「Shaa—」toward the Saintess, she urged me to stay in the cave as it is.

「Err, how about coming to Seiren with me, Sousou-san?」

「Don’t want to. I feel unpleasant when I come close to that town.」

「What do you mean unpleasant!  Our town has first class water and air!」

「The water that protects your town from demons that flows down  the waterways? I don’t really like it. I’m no longer a demon, but it still smells like “Someone else’s territory”. Like dog pee.」

「Na!! Na-Na-Na!! What are you doing likening the spring water that I devoted myself to with dog pee! That insult cannot be overlooked!」

The Saintess, who was full of resentment with her flared up nostrils, raised her hand above her head and created a sphere of water.

「Sousou-san! If you don’t apologize, I’ll hit you with this!」

「Yeah, yeah, sorry, sorry.」

「I can’t feel your sincerity! I’m gonna stop being your friend!」

「Eh… you were friends with me?」

「Isn’t that natural! A friend of a friend is of course a friend!」

The next moment, Sousou covered her mouth as is suffocating.

She probably has a really happy face. I’m happy for her, but she probably doesn’t want the Saintess to realize her weakness.

「Fu, fun. I see. If I say that, you will be my friend…?」

「That’s right! Then, let’s make up!」

The Saintess smiled and threw the water ball above her head. When that hits the rock wall of the cave, splashes of water that repel demons are scattered.

「Ouch!」

I jumped.

The splashes of water were hotter than I expected.

「Geez, Saintess-sama. Please be careful with boiling water. You could get burned.」

「It’s not that dangerous. It’s normal temperature water, not boiling you know?」

「Eh?」

I look back toward the rock wall that was wet with the water. Ariante was already there crouching down to check the temperature of the water with her fingertips.

「Rēvendia. Does this feel hot?」

「Um… it doesn’t feel hot?」

「It’s actually a little cold.」

Saying that, Ariante flicked some of the water to me. When it touches my scale, It feels like boiling water.

「You, have become, a demon.」

After a moment of silence, the hunt god said that in a worried voice.

Only a demon could take damage from water that protects you against demons.

「Hunt God. Sousou. Saint. Watch for any changes of Rēvendia here.」

Ariante seems to be impatient and starts walking towards Rēko, who is taking a nap.

「We can’t be lenient. I’ll borrow Rēko. With the girl’s ability, I’ll look for clues about the fake kin right now.」
