「Evil Dragon-sama, Evil Dragon-sama. I have something to say.」
「Nn…? Is it morning already?」
One morning on one day.
We were camping in the grassland as usual, and Rēko shook me awake when I was indulging in my sleep.
「I still don’t need breakfast. I need a little more sleep. There is food in your luggage, so choose what you like—」
「No, you misunderstand Evil Dragon-sama. It is a much more important story. In fact, I—realized that this power I have does not belong to Evil Dragon-sama.」
My drowsiness instantly shook off and I jumped up with “Gaba!” The momentum was too strong—it hurt my back a little.
「A,a,a…are you for real Rēko? DId you finally notice?」
「Yes. I had a dream last night, it was the recollection of my journey so far… When I reviewed it objectively, I thought to myself that “This feels strange” when watching it. Evil Dragon has always been composed, and only I was behaving childishly and wickedly…I was really embarrassed for my action.」
「Rēko. You did well for finally noticing. I am really happy.」
I patted Rēko’s shoulder with tears. The long awaited day finally arrived. The day when my hardship is finally over and I can return to my mountain.
「Because of my belief, I caused Evil Dragon-sama a great deal of trouble. My deepest apologies.」
「No,no, it’s okay. It was kind of fun for me travelling together with you. And it was the greatest joy for me in 5000 years that you finally noticed your misunderstanding by yourself.」
「Thank you for telling me that much… I am deeply remorseful for my mistake, and I will change this childish behavior from now on.」
「Yeah. I am looking forward to it.」
Then, let’s go back to your village first—when I was about to say that, Rēko clapped her hands.
「By the way, I would like to hear Evil Dragon-sama’s opinion about the improvement plan of my behaviour.」
「Nn? Ah, that’s right. It’s okay.」
As far as what I heard from Raiotto in the village before, it seems that Rēko was originally a strange child. Since now that the person herself is motivated, I would like to take this opportunity to teach her common sense.
「First of all, “Dragon King’s Great Claw”, “Twin wings of Shadow”, and “Purgatory of the Evil Dragon”— I am going to stop shouting the name of the techniques when activating it.」
「Nn?」
「Until now, I have always focused on tension and coolness when using these techniques. But now I realized that it was a really childish idea. Even a momentary gap can be fatal in fighting an enemy.」
「Wait a minute.」
My understanding can’t catch up.
「Isn’t that too small of an improvement? I think there is still a lot of points that need to be improved.」
「—What do you mean by that?」
「Eeto, there is so much that it is hard to come up with one right away but, something like your usual attitude… Well It is probably useless even if I say it.」
In the first place, it is best not to fight. Rather than not screaming the name of the technique, think of a way where you will never need to fight again.
「I understand. Until now, I used to make a series of threatening statement such as “kill” and “erase” with the thinking that “wickedness=cool” before, so you you are saying that I should review it.」
「That’s right! Well, as expected, it is easy to understand isn’t it? To have an attitude that won’t cause trouble is very important—」
「Yes. From now on, I will show it by action first, not words. That is what an adult will do.」
「Absolutely don’t do that.」
Please don’t rampage around without prior warning.
Her attitude didn’t improve at all. She is just trying to rationalize going around wildly at this point. I could only feel malicious intent from this.
However, Rēko continues her improvement plan without being aware that it isn’t an improvement at all.
「Then, I must greatly improve the way I serve Evil Dragon-sama in the future!」
「Serve, you say. But you are not my kin you know? You awakened your power on your own. Will you still be with me?」
「Of course. It is true that I cherish Evil Dragon-sama, whether I am your kin or not.」
I cried a little from that.
Isn’t it okay that her improvement plan is full of holes? I know that she is kind at her root. It will be fine if I watch over her closely.
「Until now, I was drowning in power and just going around without thinking about Evil Dragon-sama’s will…」
「That’s right. It is good enough that you realized that much.」
「From now on, I’ll have to sway Evil Dragon-sama to be the same as me.」
Nn?
「That’s why when we arrive at the next village, Evil Dragon-sama should destroy the houses, attack the inhabitants, and rampage around. I will standby in the nearby vicinity.」
「I, I can’t find any meaning in that action.」
「Just think of it as a ritual to be the kind of character that takes the same actions as what I have done thus far.」
「I think there will be just liabilities if I do that, not just character.」
Although it has a completely broken logic already, there is also a bigger defect in that plan.
「In the first place, even if I were to rampage in a remote area, I will still be hit by a barrage of weapons, right? I am just a normal lizard, so I will probably just die.」
「There is no need to be humble. If Evil Dragon-sama does his best, I’m sure that Evil Dragon-sama can recreate hell that I can in a blink.」
「Eeto… Rēko? Didn’t you already know? I’m very weak, you know?」
「Is that so?」
「So you didn’t know that. But think about it slowly. You will understand that I am just a normal lizard.」
Rēko made a thinking gesture, but she only did that for a second.
「But I was able to awaken from a little girl in that area. Then I am sure that Evil Dragon-sama could awaken even more tremendously. If so, I wonder if there is some other problem to awaken considering that it is Evil Dragon-sama.」
「What’s up with your overestimation of me? 」
「My Third Eye shows Evil Dragon-sama’s greatness. Come, awaken to your power early. Evil Dragon-sama’s power is essential to defeat the Demon King.」
「Wait, I can’t do anything like that even if you told me to.」
Then, Rēko showed a fearless smile.
「Ah, Evil Dragon-sama. I have a good idea. There is a way to awaken Evil Dragon-sama and also make me very satisfied in the process.」
「I have a bad feeling about that, but what is it?」
Not to mention that she seems very excited.
「Eat my soul—」
「Rejected.」
There is no change to our relationship.
