「S-Sousou-san. How are you?」
「I’m fine, I’m fine! Rēvendia is coming, so even if I’m not fine, I’ll be fine!」
Pink hair with red eyes. She looks completely different from the rabbit form I saw before, but I know from her atmosphere that she is definitely Sousou-san.
「What is with your funny appearance? Are you planning to imitate a human being?」
「So you don’t know kiddo. This is my fashionable and reinforced exterior. 」
「Fashion and reinforcement isn’t exactly compatible, though.」
I can see a rabbit ear growing from her head, so it seems that her stuffed animal main body is stored on the part of her head.
She doesn’t look like she is particularly weakened. On the contrary, she might even be more energetic than before.
Trying to run away from Rēko, Sousou-san struggled around as she reached out a hand to me.
Because it is just the right time, I let her stretch out hand to grab the “Rēvendia Plushie” souvenir.
「Rēvendia… this is…?」
「Un. It’s a souvenir for you.」
「A doll that imitates Rēvendia’s appearance…? In other words, this is a proposal that I give all of me to Rēvendia…」
While glaring with flames on her eyes, Rēko grabbed on Sousou-san’s rabbit ears like a handle.
「Don’t get it wrong, fool. It’s just a message from Evil Dragon-sama that “My figure looks good even on a doll.”」
「Hee~? Come to think of it, little kid~? I know one of Rēvendia’s secret that you don’t know, you know~?」
Sweat gushed out from my back.
That secret is definitely the fact that “I’m weak”. Sousou-san already knows about it probably because she heard about the circumstances from the Hunt God and Ariante.
「Fuh, what a bad attempt at provocation. I am Evil Dragon-sama’s first kin. It is not an exaggeration to say that we are one and the same. There can be no secret that you know but I don’t.」
However, Rēko didn’t budge.
With a fearless and confident attitude, she disregarded Sousou’s remarks as hoaxes.
On the other hand, Sousou is grinning while looking at me.Was she just making fun of Rēko by any chance?
Right there, Ariante divided the two of them by clapping her hands.
「That should be enough for the greetings. It’s about time to get into the main subject.」
「I haven’t greeted Doradora-san yet.」
「Just leave him be.」
Under Rēko’s advice, I prepared some pet food as a souvenir for Doradora, but apparently it would just be stored away going with this flow.
If I look closely, the entrance to the cave is much wider than when I came here before, as I can see some kind of expansion work being done. Probably due to Peryudōna’s adventurers who practice here.
Then, a figure suddenly appeared at the entrance.
It was the Hunt God.
「Ooh! Hunt God-sama, it’s been a long time, isn’t it?」
『Long time, no see. aaaaaaaaaaaa』
「That’s right. Yeah, I was able to do my best too.」
As I ran up to him, the Hunt God patted my back as if praising me. He is a kind god when he is not in training mode.
Ariante walked here quickly when I was pleased with my reunion.
「Hunt God. There has been a series of incidents where demons have weakened over the past few days. Has anything like that happened here?」
「Un. Daijobu.」
Fumu, Ariante nodded, and then she turned to face Sousou-san this time.
「Oi, Sousou. Did you stop being a demon?」
「Did I? I don’t really know it myself.」
「How did you replenish your magic power recently?」
「Uunn. Speaking of which, it seems that my magic power would spring up when I train the people who came here recently…」「」
I’ve heard of something similar before. I mean, the person is just around the corner.
Someone that happened to know about that—when I turned around, the Saintess was there, walking up to Sousou with a triumphant face.
「Oya, oya? Are you also a demon that turned into a god? Then that makes you my junior! I am a top-notch demon—but due to a various course of events, I’m now a super-great existence that is worshipped in various places, I recommend that you will now worship me as your senior and devote yourself to—upeh!」
Taking a forehead flick from Sousou, the Saintess fell on her bottom.
「What are you doing! I’m trying to teach you what I know as a senior!」
「Hah! Why should I call someone who smells unreliable and looks like a kid my senior!」
「Who is the little girl! I’m probably older than you! Now, respect me obediently!」
The quarrel between two similar people begins.
Looking at it like this, is it really rare for a demon to turn into a god? Yoro-san, who is a demon, also came under Enka-san’s control.
Ariante murmured quietly while watching the quarrel alongside me.
「Is it only Doradora that we can confirm to be a weakened demon so far? Rēvendia, did you encounter any demons on your way here?」
「There are no demons that would approach the current Rēko, you know?」
「That’s right, huh. Except if you are bad at it, all demons would probably run away just by you approaching them. Well, it was a power-up to that extent after all, all thanks to someone.」
I stirred up a hornet nest.
As I shrunk my body, Ariante combed her hair.
「Anyway, let’s get into the main subject then. First of all, just tell me straightforwardly, just what is the reason for that power-up?」
「Uhh, it’s not what you’re thinking, you know. I’m sure that I only said “100 times stronger!”, but I never thought that it would be over 300 million times by forced interpretation…」
「I now understand the trivial reason as usual. But, even if it’s only 100 times, it is still a pretty abnormal situation. Just what kind of enemy were you guys fighting again?」
Ariante once witnessed the fake kin’s strength.
If I talk about the circumstances as to why we fought against him, she will surely consider the situation.
「Look. It’s the fake kin who attacked us before.」
Then I explained that his ability is “strength reversal” and that I allowed the power-up so that she can twist it head on.
Ariante who heard it had a bitter face.
「…if you knew what your opponent’s abilities were, then there are a ton of other ways. That girl could just throw you like a cannonball, or just grab your tail and use you as a weapon.」
「My main idea is to decrease the burden on me.」
Had Ariante been there, I would have probably been swung around and slammed into the fake kin. Without any hesitation whatsoever.
「Well, if you can beat it then I don’t mind…but there is still something that didn’t connect.」
「Is it the weakened demons incident?」
When I asked, Ariante shook her head.
「No, not just that. There are other strange events going on. Such as people suddenly having a recollection on a certain animal’s name, the Taizan Katari Lizard.」
「Taizan Katari Lizard…? What’s that?」
「It’s you.」
「So I was a lizard with that kind of name.」
I was often sentenced to be a lizard instead of a dragon, but I never knew that I would know my official name in such a place.
「Let me check one more thing. Are you sure that you stabbed that fake kin?」
「Yeah. After that, Rēko checked it with clairvoyance, but she said that there is no reaction.」
「Is that so…Then, this incident means that the Demon King, who lacked an executive, has finally started to move…?」
「Ah, about that. When Rēko searched around, there is no Demon King either.」
When I told her my biggest news, Ariante had an unusually stunned look.
