「Um, Ariante. I now can use some weird power somehow.」

When I returned to the cave to talk with Ariante, she had this blatantly suspicious look.

「Weird Power?」

「Un. When I trained with Hunt God-sama, I could shoot out a slash with my claws and breathe out some fire. This is surely an abnormal situation isn’t it?」

「…really?」

「Un. The power is also, can’t be underestimated.」

Ariante touched my forehead as the Hunt God nodded beside me.

「…Yeah, there is a sign of magic power that I haven’t felt before. And it’s a considerable amount too. Rēvendia, how did this happen? Did you eat something strange?」

「I would like to know that too.」

「You didn’t even have a glimpse of magic power before…why did you suddenly change so much.」

Me, Ariante, and the Hunt god naturally turned our eyes toward the same direction.

Toward Rēko who is taking a nap by leaning against the wall of the cave after eating.

When an insane event happens around me, the first thing to consider is Rēko’s involvement.

「Is Rēko’s magic power flowing to me?」

「But, for that girl, you are “The Mighty Evil Dragon-sama”. A kin sharing their power to their master, she probably thought it as blasphemy.」

「That’s right, huh.」

And although it is faint, I can feel that this power did not originate from Rēko. 

If it was a power originating from Rēko, then it should be able to do anything, and the magic for “delicious grass” could be used freely.

「Fuh, sounds like you guys are in trouble, everyone.」

* smug saintess sfx*

In the middle of serious talk, the saintess interrupted with a confident face.

「I know the reason, you know! As to why Lizard-san suddenly became stronger! Do you want me to tell you? Say that you want me to! I won’t tell you if you don’t ask it sincerely!」

The saintess is trying to irritate us, but when we heard it, we were relatively calm.

It was the saintess anyway, so it’s probably an irrelevant reason.

However, there was one person who didn’t know much about the saintess’s personality.

「Oi, you light blue person. You know what’s wrong with Rēvendia, right…? If you know something spit it out quickly.」

It was Sousou who tapped the saintess’s shoulder from behind with murderous eyes. 

Somehow, I think that her impatience at such times is similar to Rēko.

The saintess, who was pressured by the spirit of a former Demon King Army executive immediately gave up while giving excuses, “It’s just a joke” and so on.

「It’s that you know. It’s the weeding-based plan lecture I gave to turn Lizard-san to evil dragon before. The effort for that has finally come to fruition. That is why Lizard-san became strong.」

She came to that conclusion as I expected.

「Um, Saintess-sama. Try to think carefully. One cannot be an evil dragon by just weeding, right?」

「What are you talking about Lizard-san. It’s a high-grade wrongdoing… But don’t you dare reach the level of being a crop thief! No matter how much power you gain, it’s unforgivable!」

「I won’t do something like that.」

In the first place, the assumption for the base of that plan was a failure.

It’s assuming that Rēko’s magic power comes from “Fear of Evil Dragon” and tries to guide it to me. But Rēko’s magic power was her own in the first place. I can’t take that away.

「…wait.」

Ariante muttered with a serious tone.

「Hm? What’s wrong, Ariante?」

「I was careless. I overlooked my own words. If Rēko’s magic power was her own, where did the  “Fear of Evil Dragon” magic power gather to?」

「Ah.」

That’s right.

If Rēko’s magic power was her own, then there is a good chance that “Fear of Evil Dragon” has accumulated somewhere as magic power.

「So the magic power from that is flowing to me? But why right now?」

「Lizard-san! You did something bad after all! It’s probably because of that!」

「That’s a false charge, Saintess-sama. I’m not a crop thief…」

「Don’t talk about those low dimension crimes….」

Ariante held her head seemingly a little annoyed.

「Rēvendia. You don’t have the aptitude for magic power, and you’re far from being an evil dragon in the first place. Even if “Fear of Evil Dragon” is a magic power, you won’t be able to use it in most cases. For real, did anything change?」

「That said… I went along with Rēko’s usual rampage once.」

As all of them tilted their heads, 「Hai, hai」Sousou raised her hands.

「In short, you’re talking about whether Rēvendia did something like an evil dragon, right?」

「Yeah.」

「That’s right.」

「The other day, you defeated that weird armor guy, right? Isn’t he the Demon King? If so, “The Evil Dragon Rēvendia that surpassed the Demon King” is exactly it.」

Uun, I cleared my throat.

「But in that battle, I just ran around until Enka-san got serious.」

「Un, you tried, your best. But, I can’t say that, it’s a battle.」

「What are you talking about, Hunt God. You heard it too, didn’t you? That armor, he praised Rēvendia as the winner.」

Certainly, I do think that Yoro-san praised me from the bottom of his heart that time.

And he also acknowledged me as “The Evil Dragon that defeated the Demon King”.

「Then, you are saying that when I defeated Yoro-san, I became more evil dragon-like, and that’s why I have magic power?」

Everyone went silent.

It’s nothing definitive, but it’s full of reasoning.

Ariante snapped her finger.

「Anyway, I don’t think it’s a good sign. It is also puzzling that demons like Doradora are running out of magic all at once. Maybe something is going wrong.」

After thinking for a moment, Ariante looked at me.

「Is there any other change other than your magic power? Does the magic power of the Evil Dragon make your urge to destroy stuff stronger? Is it tempting to eat humans?」

「Nonono. That will be ridiculous. I was—」

After I immediately denied it, I stopped speaking.

That is because a bit of anxiety passed through my mind.

「Is chewing food part of the urge to destroy as well?」

「That’s just being conscious of your health. Keep going.」

「Thank goodness.」

I wipe off the cold sweat on my forehead with my front leg. After being diagnosed with a weak stomach, I always try to chew as much as possible.

「Oh, can you confirm one more thing for me.」

「What is it.」

I suddenly remembered something when she asked me if I wanted to eat humans.

Of course, there is no such urge, but—

「A bit ago, in a dream, Fake kin-san said 「Please enjoy me as your meal.」, but this should be just a dream right?」
