『Long story short, you’re coming to me, right…? Hey, when? When will you come? Rēvendia…?』
As soon as I decided on my future plans, a voice began to echo from Hunt God-sama’s claws.
Hearing Sousou-san’s voice makes me happy, but at the same time, her voice has a disturbing atmosphere.
「Ah, yeah. It is okay to just have a talk from here, though.」
『Ha?』
「I’m sorry. I’ll go properly.」
Sousou’s voice became angry in an instant, so I hurriedly decided to visit directly.
『So, when are you coming? Of course it’s soon, right? Ask the little child kin right now to——』
『Maa, he’ll come soon. So wait for it.』
There is a sign that the conversation is interrupted, it seems like Hunt God-sama backed me up.
I can hear a faint voice of Sousou refuting in the back, but it seems like Hunt God sama has the priority of communication through the claws.
「Well, I don’t think it’s bad to do so. I will also feel better if I do.」
『Un, quite so. Do your best.』
It’s one thing if it is in terms of strength, but at least I’m fine with flying. I have grown a lot compared to back then where Hunt God-sama said that I have no prospect.
After finishing a promise to Sousou that I will visit HUnt God-sama’s place, I remembered about one more person that I should visit——or rather, one demon.
「Doradora was also a part of the Demon King Army, huh…」
However, unlike with Sousou, we have a rather complicated relationship. I did hear that he is training with Raiotto in order to defeat me., so I feel a little scared to face him directly.
When it comes to that, I’ll have no choice but to have Ariante intervene.
When I was wondering how I am going to contact him, Rēko and the Cardinal who have been out for the rebuilding of the city, came back. The city should have had considerable damage, but it seems that with the power of the current Rēko, they repaired it in no time.
Just at the right time, I called out to the Cardinal.
「Cardinal-san, I’d like to get in touch with a person name Ariante in Peryudōna but, is there a magic tool for communication?」
「Of course there is. It used to be blocked by the thunderclouds made by the Thunder Armor over there, but right now, I should be able to set up a communication network between cities.」
「Mu.」Rēko puffed up her cheeks.
「Evil Dragon-sama. Even without communication equipment, I can directly communicate with telepathy. Should I call directly to the female knight’s head right now?」
「You can’t, Rēko. If someone suddenly heard another voice inside their head, they will be very surprised, okay.」
「Or rather, they will be grateful to receive a revelation from Evil Dragon-sama.」
「There is a certain courtesy to close friends after all, so such a sudden revelation will be a violation of etiquette.」
Seems like the communication equipment has been prepared when I was calming Rēko down.
What was brought in was an earmuff made of metal, and a sound collector that has the magic of resonance. It seems that the received sound waves will be delivered to a distant resonated destination with the same wavelength.
The Cardinal set up the city name and his position, and quickly called the operator in Peryudōna.
「I called them. Ariante-san, right?」
「Oh. Thank you.」
「But still, you surprised me. To think that you are acquaintance with that famous Maiden of Peryudōna.」
「Un? You know about Ariante?」
「Of course. In pure combat, she is more powerful than me.」
Since it was based on the Cardinal, I’m not really sure about it. I only saw his ability when he was knocked out by Yoro-san and Rēko multiple times in a row.
He seems to be actually really strong though.
「Mu? There is such a strong guy? How strong is she exactly?」
Yoro-san caught on to this topic.
His tone of voice is light and he is shaking as if itching to do something.
「Yo-Yoro-san, Ariante is indeed strong but, she is not exactly an enemy…」
「But isn’t it okay to test her skill? If someone is a warrior, wouldn’t they want to have a bout with me, a Demon King?」
What should I do? If Ariante is in a high spirit, I feel like she would really want to fight Yoro-san.
Then, seeing me in trouble, Enka kicked Yoro-san’s side hard and made him roll on the church’s floor.
「Look old man. Just do your business and disregard this idiot.」
「Mu, why are you doing this Enka?」
「Shut up. You are kinda my subordinate now. So don’t try to go to other place to fight without permission.」
While Yoro-san and Enka were arguing, I stood in front of the communication device.
After waiting for a bit, a familiar voice came out.
「This is Ariante. What’s your business?」
「Ah, Ariante? It’s me, it’s me. You understand?」
「…Rēvendia?」
「Un. Actually, there are various things, and I also would like to talk to Doradora-san. I also want to hear your opinion about something, so can I meet you soon?」
The meeting place will be in Hunt God-sama’s cave. It would be easy to exchange opinions if everyone were gathered together.
「Okay. I don’t mind that but, did something particularly change?」
「Hmm? What changed?」
「No. I’m just wondering if you did something devious and powered up that kin girl.」
My heart started beating fast as if it’s going to explode.
「No-Not at all? That isn’t the case at all, you know? Rēko is still the same as before, you know?」
「Is that true? You, why do you sound so impatient, then? I won’t get angry, so be honest.」
「…You really won’t get angry?」
「Don’t worry.」
「Fu.」Ariante laughed a bit when I was semi shocked.
「I thought that something like that would happen sooner or later. Even when she is running wildly that time at Seren, the amount of magic power she has is already so high that no human can stop her. It won’t change anything if she gets a bit more. Rather, it may be worth it if it will be easier to defeat the Demon King.」
「Ah, so it won’t be a big problem if Rēko got stronger right? 」
「It’s in the category that we assumed.」
Ariante is a reliable and understanding person after all. With peace and relief, I’ll tell her the whole truth without hiding anything.
「Um, you see. Rēko’s magic power has just increased about 343.2 million times.」
No sound.
Quiet.
An earnestly long silence.
「——You, remember this the next time we meet.」
Eventually she said some short words and cut the communication from her side.
<hr>
Inside a certain cave deep in the mountains, a cold atmosphere was about.
The giant lizard that once lived there is no longer there. He has set out for a wider world, by a certain girl who claimed to be his kin.
In that cave where there is no one, something wriggled.
It is a magical black fog that moves in a colony like bugs.
In the dim darkness of the cave, the fog gathered and condensed making itself even darker.
It gathered and gathered and eventually shaped——a humanoid figure.
That humanoid form that was just born, began to walk.
As it approaches the exit of the cave, it’s identity becomes apparent by the light coming from the outside.
A figure of a demon wearing a black robe and a mask marked with a cross.
「——Please wait for me, Rēvendia-sama.」
In a cave where no one is listening, the fake kin quietly said so.
