「Rēko isn’t coming back, you say…Yoro-san, what do you mean by that?」

「I mean what I said. The fact that she is not here right now is the proof.」

That’s true, Yoro-san’s words hit the most painful part.

If it is the usual, ridiculous Rēko, she should have returned to this place long ago. However, the fact that she has not come back by now—it’s reasonable to think that something is wrong.

「B-but Rēko is safe, right? You didn’t send her to a dangerous place, right?」

「Be more concerned for yourself than others, Dragon.」

While floating in the air, Yoro-san turned his palm toward us. Purple lightning scattering from his palm is reminiscent of the lightning strike he released earlier.

「I don’t think you can compete with me. If you don’t want to be involved, leave Enka and go away wherever you want. I don’t wish to hurt the weak just for their mischief.」

I gently turn my head around to look at my back.

Ria, with Spirit-san possessing her, has a sullen look on her face.

「Err-… It is true that I have no intention to fight with you, but can we talk for just a bit?」

「What?」

「If we are talking about the weak, doesn’t that include Ria? She might be the same person as  Enka-san, but didn’t she have a completely different personality compared to that rough-mannered God?」

「Even if it is a different personality, it is still the same person as the God that defeated me. If he is cornered enough, he’ll show his true power.」

Yoro-san pointed at the ground, encouraging me to land.

「I won’t say it twice. Drop Enka to the ground—」

Yoro-san’s words ended with an anticlimax. I can’t hear the rest of his sentence.

This is due to the fact that I flew away in the opposite direction at full speed.

「Wait. Why are you running away even though I gave you some advice?」

However, my escape failed. My tail was grabbed while I’m still in the air, and my acceleration came to a sudden stop.

「S-Sorry. I’m not used to flying yet so sometimes my wings move without my permission…」

『Thats, not true.You, are doing it, properly. Have confidence.』

「Hunt God-sama. That kind of follow-up is bad at this timing.」

After watching me and Hunt God-sama talk for a while, Yoro-san spoke quietly.

「Stop the farce. As I already said, no matter how much time you buy, that girl won’t come.」

「Nonono, I’m not buying time at all. Ah, Yoro-san. I know there is a good bar nearby, wanna go there and drink with me?」

「It’s quite refreshing watching your method to buy time…Anyway, you can not escape from this situation. I’ll get Enka out.」

Yoro-san reaches out to Ria, who was sitting on my back. I instantly shouted.

「Spirit-san! Please “Spit”!」

『Landslide disaster.』

I was skeptical whether or not she can do it in this situation, but the result is good.

Mass of rocks was spit out from Spirit-san’s mouth with great vigour, and completely swallowed Yoro-san who was reaching out to her. This is the technique I used when I fought with Sheina.

Fortunately, I was able to fly to the quarry when I short-distance dashed earlier, and there seems to be no infrastructure damage as far as my eye can see.

I will be able to by some more time again with this—

「Did you think you can stop me by sprinkling some sand smoke?」

—doesn’t seem like I could.

Even after being exposed to a large mass of rocks, Yoro-san is still floating calmly without even letting go of my tail. There doesn’t seem to be even a scratch on his armor either.

「W-Well, uh. Spirit-san burped slightly just now you see…」

「Enough.」

At that moment, Yoro-san’s hand started glowing bluish white—

「Abababa! I-I feel numb!」

「Don’t worry, I’m just making you slightly numb so you can’t do any mischief anymore.」

In truth, just being exposed to the electric shock for a bit, I’m already exhausted and hang down tiredly from Yoro-san’s hand.Ria(with Spirit-san inside) seems to be having fun just hanging there by holding my horn.

Yoro-san reached out to her—

「Mu?」

I transformed my black claws into a rope and rolled up Ria’s body. It is my last resistance with the last of my power so that he could not reach her.

「Why are you so desperate, Dragon. This guy is much more powerful than you.」

「That said…it is terrible to force a child who doesn’t want to fight.」

「But for you, Enka is nothing more than a stranger. From our interactions, you don’t strike me as a guy who has the courage to do this kind of thing.」

While moving the black claws desperately, I think about the vague reason as to why I am doing this. I’m also hoping that I can earn some more time.

「…Somehow. He felt like Rēko.」

「That girl is warlike.」

「That is true. But you see, isn’t Enka-san afraid of destroying his country by his own hands? Rēko, that girl too…」

Out of breath, I cut off my words.

Rēko still cannot fully control her power. According to Ariante, if there is no “Reliance on Evil Dragon”, she will be swallowed by her own power and go berserk. It happened before.

That child, she is fighting with her power deep inside her heart.

Therefore, I cannot think of this situation as merely another person’s affairs.

「But I believe in her, you know… Rēko will surely come. That child is surely amazing. That is why Yoro-san, I won’t give up until the end.」

「Is that so…」

It’s a shame, Yoro-san muttered.

「I don’t have a hobby tormenting the weak, but I can’t forgive those who are determined to be hostile to me. At least I’ll remember you as someone who dared to oppose me.」

Yoro-san threw my body into the air roughly. The black claws covering Ria’s body were easily unravelled, as my body fluttered over Yoro-san’s head.

Yoro-san directed his palm at me. Like the lightning strike before, a huge amount of magical power concentrated on his palm.

「Dragon. I’ll kill you instantly so that you won’t suffer at least. Fare—Ba!?」

Yoro-san was blown away.

It’s not an ordinary blow. The impact that hit Yoro-san’s helmet created a very visible ring in the air.

The one that released such a blow—is not Rēko.

「…It’s my bad, old man. 」

It was Ria who caught my falling body.

However, the way she talks is different. The blond hair that signified Spirit-san possessing her is gradually changing to a scorching color like magma.

No, not just her hair color. Her height has grown and transformed her from a young child to a dignified woman.

「I was a coward. I’ll properly settle this, forgive me. But before all that…」

Enka looked at Yoro-san, who was blown away before. Yoro-san, who stopped at a distance, is holding his fist lively.

「Oh! So you finally felt like fighting—」

「Shitty Armor! You are too persistent! You stalker bastard——!!」

I see an oversized arrow of words strike Yoro-san’s chest.
