Chapter 141 - Fake Kin VS The Old Demon King

Rēko’s slash, which was swung down in an instantaneous speed, was stopped easily by the fake kin with only one hand.

However, Rēko didn’t lose her fighting spirit. She slammed her killing intent and magical power and tried to push the blade through.

「This time, I won’t let you escape. I will kill you here.」

「You are still this noisy, huh. Why are you angry anyway? All I did was to tell the greatness of Rēvendia-sama.」

「Mu.」

The strength in Rēko’s sword loosens slightly.

「Ah, that’s right. Rēvendia-sama is acting as a lizard right now…This is very disrespectful. However, I have so much respect for Rēvendia-sama that I couldn’t help but talk about his greatness at all time. If I am a “moderate” kin like you, then I might be able to act well because of how little respect you have for Rēvendia-sama…there is also a minus for having so much respect, huh. Oh, how I envy you “moderate” kin.」

Rēko silently prepares her dagger.

The moment I thought that this was bad, it was already too late. Rēko turns to face the fake kin, with flame of opposition in her eyes.

「Don’t you say such a joke you fake. I was just thinking about spreading the appeal of the wonderfulness of Evil Dragon-sama. Listen to me, fools. This one here is the Evil Dragon Rēvendia, the strongest being in the world. The all-knowing and all-powerful being.」

「Oya? That’s all? Seems like I was rushing to take the initiative for no reason…your vocabulary is so out of date you know. There is no way that such vocabulary can accurately convey the greatness of Evil Dragon-sama, don’t you think so?」

「Shutupyounoisyillkillyou. I am so respectful of Evil Dragon-sama that I always keep the emotion of my speech straight. If you can afford to think of complicated lines in front of Evil Dragon-sama’s greatness, doesn’t that mean that there is a lack of respect for Evil Dragon-sama? 」

The fake kin who seems to have “taken a hit” held his mask and looked up to the sky.

The one who really took a hit here was Rēko though. Her fighting spirit was nonexistent already.

Then, Yoro-san poked my shoulder with his fingertips.

「You were such a big guy? That mask guy just said that you are “the only existence that can match the Demon King”… If you wanted to fight, you should have just said so. I would immediately be your guest.」

「Hey, Yoro-san. Do I even look like such a scary dragon?」

「Hmm.」

I sighed. Please don’t believe in such a mess.

Maybe he is still a bit suspicious, but he started to poke my belly. When it was starting to itch and I started to go “o fun o fun”, he withdrew his finger.

「Umu. You’re weak enough that you’ll explode in less than a second if I go at you seriously.」

「I’m relieved that you are convinced that I am weak, but please don’t make such a concrete metaphor. I’m scared.」

When Yoro-san was finally convinced, I turned to face the Cardinal. If I don’t clear his misunderstanding, I will probably be treated as a big bounty target in this country.

「Um, Cardinal-san. As you can see, I am just a harmless lizard. If you don’t believe me, then you can inspect my body. If you are a mage, then you probably can find how weak I am with a little research, right?」

But the moment our eyes met.

The Cardinal jumped at tremendous speed and landed on a rooftop. He looked down on me and Yoro-san, along with the other armed men from the rooftop.

「Eh? Um, Cardinal-san?」

「Evil Dragon…Rēvendia?」

This situation is strange.

If he would keep his calm and inspect me carefully, he would probably see just how weak I am, but he is giving me a strange look. Not only him, but all the armed men around is also keeping their distance.

「I see. A man in armor, and a mysterious girl. I was wondering just who you are, going around with two really powerful monsters—you could say I didn’t expect it to be none other than the Evil Dragon Rēvendia himself. I wonder why my eyes became so cloudy that I would mistake you as a lizard.」

「It’s still cloudy right now though.」

Because I was accompanied by mighty beings such as Yoro-san and Rēko, it made even something like me look like an evil dragon.

No, that Cardinal wasn’t even in a hurry when in front of those two. I don’t think he will easily lose his composure just because of a statement from that fake kin.

Wait, rather than thinking about that I need to deal with this first.

「Wait a minute! Err…I’ll admit that I am an evil dragon, but I wasn’t planning on doing anything destructive! And see, didn’t the guild say something about me helping the city of Peryudōna? And doesn’t the bounty of mine is frozen as well…」

「You are still saying those excuses after you killed the Thunder God of this country?」

「See, Yoro-san. Careless words and action can lead into these kinds of things. Remember to be more careful in the future, okay?」

「I’m ashamed.」

The Cardinal’s men started preparing their respective weapons, and the Cardinal himself started to accumulate magical power in a large amount.

「If you knew that already, then I will subdue you here, even at the cost of our lives. I will not let any more evil overrun this country.」

「Hey! Listen to me for a bit!」

Although this place is a back alley, there are still private houses surrounding the alley. And the main street is right there if you go out a bit. If a battle happened here, collateral damage will surely happen.

Isn’t it too early to make such a decision without even confirming the identity of the other party?

「—you bastard, Just who are you trying to kill?」

Oh, looks like Rēko got angry.

She is arguing with the fake kin for a while, but it seems like she finally noticed this situation.

Then the terrible pressure that Rēko emitted put the Cardinal and his men into sleep, and the magical power he gathered dissipated.

「What should I do next, Evil Dragon-sama? If you want to, I can just hold their breath as it is.」

「I don’t have such a scary idea, but thank you for stopping them Rēko.」

The emergency situation has passed for the time being, so I would like to rest.

After this, I will have to prove myself to Cardinal-san to prove that I am not hostile. But I wonder if it will work. They also seem strange from a whi—

「That mask over there. You bastard, you have done something strange right?」

Suddenly, Yoro-san turned his hostility to the fake kin. I actually don’t know his line of sight because he is wearing a helmet but, I know he is clearly glaring at him just from the atmosphere.

「Oyaoya. What a rare sight. Ain’t it the Old Demon Kin—」

Before the fake kin finishes his sentence, his body is thrown high in the air.

It was Yoro-san who instantly closed the distance and threw the fake kin in the air with one hand.

「I don’t like someone with a smell like you.」

And when Yoro-san held one hand toward the sky, lightning struck the fake kin as if to burn him alive.
