Chapter 46 – Till we defeat the Demon KingTranslator: Luk2048
Editor: Ghost Ape
When I woke up, it turned out we were banned from entering the town . Thinking about it, I guess it was justified . Rēko went berserk in front of every single guard’s eyes, and she tried to turn it into a barren wasteland . I did try going to the guard post and apologize for that whole affair after I woke up, however――
“It’s fine, totally fine, we don’t mind at all . But because of all the mud strewn across the town it’s hard to properly welcome the Evil Dragon Lord and Kin Lady . How about proceeding to the next town?”
“We already got all of your belongings packed and ready . ”
“Ahh, I’m moved to tears; who would have thought we would be able to see the genuine Evil Dragon Rēvendia in our lives . It’s an amazingly rare experience, isn’t it? It probably won’t happen ever again . There mustn’t be much to do in such a remote town either . Well then, please make haste in your journey to subjugate the Demon King . ”
I felt their strong determination to prevent us from entering . I didn’t have the nerve to deliberately ignore their will, so leaving the guard post I only had them fasten the entire luggage to my back, looking all set and ready for the journey ahead .
“Then let us depart Evil Dragon Lord . ”
Although I hadn’t yet said even a word, waiting in front of the guard post Rēko greeted me in high spirits overflowing with enthusiasm . I really would like her to stop being so strangely fixated only on subjugating the Demon King . She could instead pay a little more attention to my real feelings .
“Wait a minute Rēko . I still have something to take care of . ”
“Understood, I apologize for my lack of consideration . What great matter could it be?”
“Well… Let’s see…”
I’d like to munch on some gra.s.s for at least 5 years here . I decided to keep it a secret since I had no idea what would happen if I said that . I thought it over and went with a random excuse to buy time .
“Right, we’ve to say our farewells to Ariante and Lady Saintess . There’s no doubt they helps us out in various ways . ”
For some reason both of them were gone when I woke up . There was only Rēko, who had been continuously murmuring some unsettling plan like a lullaby in my earshot, and the stretched flat on the ground unconscious silver dragon .
“If it is that female knight, she was invited to the festival not long ago . According to what I heard, it appears she is being extolled for her merit of exterminating an unthinkably powerful demon, but I cannot help but wonder when and what exactly has she defeated . ”
You, you dummy . It looked like stopping her became Ariante’s achievement . Well, that made sense . I was technically standing at Rēko’s side, so if I were unlucky, I might even be made out to be a mastermind behind this .
“I see… but it’s surprising . Ariante didn’t seem like someone who would be good with such gaudy atmosphere . ”
“During that time, a bunch of adventurer reinforcements prepared by Ariante arrived . They were a group of sycophantic parasites . As soon as they heard about her meritorious deed, all of them puffed out their chests as though they took part in it and dragged the female knight to the festival . ”
“Wow, what a group of crafty people . Rēko absolutely mustn’t turn out like that . ”
If not only her abilities but also her morality were to fall into darkness, she’d become unmanageable .
“Since she was made a focal point of the festival it’d be hard to meet her . We can’t even enter the town . Then what about Lady Saintess? Wouldn’t she come out if we were to call out near the waterways?”
“That is even more serious . ”
“Eh? Something happened?”
Rēko nodded with a blank face, responding,
“The female knight was lauded as the『Second coming of Lady Saintess!』, so she is sulking and does not want to come out . ”
“Ah, is that so? No wonder that looking closely the mud strewn throughout the town has increased slightly . ”
She probably threw a tantrum, and in the end only pleased the villagers .
“What should we do? If it is necessary I will drag her out of the barrier . ”
“Nah… since it’s like that, it might be better to leave her alone――”
Sploosh, suddenly water gushed from the ground and transformed into the figure of Lady Saintess . It looked like she was dissatisfied about being left alone .
“That’s cruel, not even a word of encouragement! Why is that?! Why didn’t it become my achievement?! I also did my bessttt…”
“Even if you say that…”
It was probably wholly due to her lacking any sort of aura of a powerful person . Even though she should be fairly strong, she somehow had a vibe similar to mine .

“If you’re that dissatisfied why don’t you just go to the festival? It’s Ariante we’re talking about, she’ll no doubt explain you’re the real Lady Saintess . ”
“Eeeh, but that’s embarra.s.sing…”
With her cheeks dyed red, Lady Saintess was bashfully squealing . If she also found coming forward unpleasant, just what exactly did she want?
“Weell, I want to be praised . I’m the type that thrives on compliments . Still, being complimented directly is embarra.s.sing, so I want them to praise me indirectly, like in the festival’s shrine . It’s obvious I won’t allow other people to get the exclusive Lady Saintess treatment . Do you now understand this maiden’s heart?”
“You’ve got some complicated frustrations, don’t you? But there’s no point telling me, I really can’t do anything . ”
“That’s right, stop bothering the Evil Dragon Lord . ”
While saying in a threatening tone, for some reason, Rēko had embraced Lady Saintess . I was staring in wonderment at the downright unexpected action . I certainly couldn’t believe that a sign of friendship would sprout between them after they messed around trying to kill each other .
“Eh? Lady Rēko? I can’t believe… you wanted to cheer me up by hugging me? Lady Rēko, being the genuine Evil Dragon, that you would worry so much for me… I, as a puny demon, cannot help but feel pride――”
“What a drag . Stop spouting c.r.a.p and go get praised as much as you like . ”
Rēko lifted Lady Saintess’ body as though she was lifting a baby high up .
And then she threw her violently at the town’s heart, where the festival’s accompaniment echoed . The throw’s velocity showed Rēko’s absolute lack of moderation or mercy . So much so, that she couldn’t help but turn into a flashing star .
After a little while screams could be heard from the distance . It was obviously because a human-like figure abruptly came flying . She might even be treated as a new demon . It’d be great if Ariante’s followers didn’t subdue her .

“Well then, with this we finished the farewells . ”
“I won’t be able to face Lady Saintess ever again . ”
“At that time I will pin down her neck and turn her face towards you . ”
“That’s the main cause I won’t be able to face her though . ”
I let out a long sigh . Whatever the case, it didn’t seem like spending our time peacefully at this town was a viable option .
And so I embarked slowly to the plains, without any particular aim . Rēko had climbed on my back and clung to me with all of her body .
“Evil Dragon Lord, I hope I can continue as your dutiful servant, now and into the future . ”
“Yeah, well, let’s both take it easy . ”
Although Rēko will probably continue to run amok with all her power and this journey will be filled with hardships for me .
At the very least, all the way until we defeat that Demon King .
