I thought I would see Rēko when I arrived, but there is an oversized slash that is waiting for me at the transfer destination instead.

Moreover, it is a pincer shot from both sides that leaves no way of escape.

「Kyaaaaaaa——————!?」

Although I was prepared for some danger when I arrived, this sudden situation exceeded all of my expectations.

I instantly covered my head with both of my front legs, but after a few moments, I realized that I was safe.

A little terrified, I looked around a bit. The slashes of light have disappeared, and from the traces on the ground, it seems that it disappeared when it reached my feet. Looks like I was able to invalidate it as usual.

「Evil Dragon-sama!」

Rēko rushed to my side immediately, with a more than happy expression.

「As expected of you. After all, such attacks are insignificant to Evil Dragon-sama. To think that it was erased without even a scratch. Ha! And it seems like that Demon King was defeated instantly! I was ashamed that I was useless. I really want to see that gallant figure.」.

「Goodness gracious. Although I shot it with all of my might too, you are still no match for me as I thought.」

A calm voice echoed immediately from the opposite direction than Rēko.

When I turned around, the fake kin calmly stood there.

「You are…」

「As expected of you Rēvendia-sama. It seems like you are able to defeat that thunder armor without any difficulties. Originally, I intended for him and the God of this country to destroy one another without causing any bother to you but… I apologize for your trouble.」

「Yoro-san saw through your scheme you know.」

It is probably the fake kin that conveyed the information that Ria = Enka to Yoro-san.

However, Yoro-san who planned for a duel—came to scold her instead. To open Enka’s eyes so that she will protect her country as their god.

「Yup. I gave up on that. I proposed that I will set a stage where he can have a duel with the god, but he became a disturbance instead—but thanks to Rēvendia-sama, he disappeared.

The fake kin raised both of their arms, black vortex began appearing all over the plains like there is a hole in the ground.

A large amount of monsters are going to crawl out from there.

「I was troubled. No matter how much I called for the monsters, Thunder Armor will continue to destroy them with lightning strikes. But right now, I can destroy the country with no problems.」

「Rēko, can you close those black vortexes? Because only you can do it.」

「Yes, I’ll try.」

Heeding my words, Rēko clapped her hands.

All the vortexes start to close cleanly. The monsters that are about to crawl out fell back to the bottom of the darkness without seeing the light of the day.

The fake kin who saw that scene, shook their head without being perturbed at all.

「I understand. It’s a cancellation for the destruction of the country, right? Acknowledged. If it is Rēvendia-sama’s decision, I will temporary retire he—」

「Wait a second. Why are you faking to be my kin and doing all of this?」

I called on the fake kin who turned around. They put their hand on their mask under the guise of the mourning wind.

「What are you talking about? Aren’t I a genuine kin of yours?」

「I didn’t say anything about wanting to destroy this country, you know.」

「When one becomes your true kin, one can take your true intention into account without even exchanging words. For example, I firmly understand that Rēvendia-sama has no intention to be hostile to the Demon King. Unlike this immature kin, Miss Rēko here.」

Therefore, the fake kin continued.

「Please rest assured. I will surely make your ambition come true.」

「I want to defeat the Demon King you know.」

The fake kin, who has been talking fluently with exaggerating gestures, froze.

「Because I defeated Yoro-san already, I might as well defeat the Demon King too. Rēko, will you help me too?」

「Certainly. Whether the enemy is a Demon King or a Demon God, I will slash all Evil Dragon-sama’’s enemies. 」

In contrast with Rēko who is holding her fist in excitement, the fake kin shrugged their shoulders.

「I want to follow along with Miss Rēko, but I wonder if saying such lies is good.」

「It’s not a lie.」

「Then, why are your legs trembling so much?」

My bluff is called. That’s right. As of now, my legs are trembling hard like a newborn fawn.

「Fu. This is a warrior trembling from excitement when imagining the battle with the Demon King. Can you, as a fake, feel it? Evil Dragon-sama is shooting a sharp killing intent like a knife while trembling…」

「It is actually helpful that you are doing that right now.」

「Someone like Rēvendia-sama, I don’t want to see him thoughtlessly telling a lie.」

The fake kin’s vocabulary strengthens as if exuding their anger.

「That thunder armor is an old Demon King from a past era. Needless to say, he cannot be compared to the current Demon King-sama. Even someone like Rēvendia-sama, won’t be able to compete with him in your declining condition. 」

「It’s okay. Rēko is here after all.」

「An immature kin that cannot even reach my level, what can she add?」

I resolutely shook my head to deny that.

「Rēko is a much stronger child that you, you know.」

「Is that a joke? From the battles we had so far, she can’t even land a hit on me.」

I gently place my front leg on Rēko’s back, who is biting her lips.

「That one is a trap. I almost misunderstood that you are a ridiculously strong monster. But when I think about it carefully, there is one strange thing.」

I remember the details from the previous battle between Rēko and the fake kin that I heard from Ariante.

「Previously, when I and Raiotto were trapped in Sousou-san’s barrier, didn’t you fight with Rēko, Ariante, and Doradora? I heard that those three couldn’t compete with you at all.」

「Yes. It wasn’t a challenge at all.」

「But it seems like there was this one time where you were hit by an attack once. Not by those three’s attack, but the attack from the ikemen who is Sousou-san’s subordinate.」

Originally, that ikemen wasn’t that strong, and he was dying and had almost no attack power that time. If this fake kin was truly stronger than Rēko, they wouldn’t have moved an eyebrow no matter how sudden the surprise attack.

The fake kin got damaged by that so much. In retrospect, that was an unnatural event.

In response to my words, the fake kin was silent.

「I was out of luck when I fought with Yoro-san lightly. But when there is only the Demon King, he said that he could almost guess your abilities.」

And just before he disappeared, he told me everything.

If his guess is correct, it can be explained why the fake kin’s attack did not work on me.

「——You can reverse the strong and weak relationship with the other party, right?」
