Chapter 24

Translator: Luk2048

The Evil Dragon Lord’s presence abruptly disappeared behind the hallway’s corner .

I had a pensive look on my face .

Certainly, the Evil Dragon Lord was able to create subs.p.a.ces, in which he could stride freely . However, if the mighty existence known as the Evil Dragon Lord were to even temporarily disappear from this world, it’d be an undesirable incident for this world’s natural harmony . Were the central pillar of the house to disappear, it’d creak and start to crumble . In the same manner, the world also couldn’t sustain its tranquillity without the Evil Dragon Lord .

The Evil Dragon Lord was extremely thoughtful . He had a thorough knowledge of causing bad influence on the world, and ever since he made me his kin, he hadn’t distorted s.p.a.ce even once .

―― In which case…

{Rēko dashed through the hallway, arriving at the corner . What she found was a puddle of water, as if there was a roof leak .

Moreover, it wasn’t just water . She could feel the dissolving magic power . Once she touched it with her finger, she immediately understood what kind of thing it was . }[1]

“It’s a dimensional barrier trap, imprisoning the target inside . Which means―― that insolent fellow before was after all the Saintess in disguise . No wonder that she had a strange presence for a human . To go so far in disrespecting the Evil Dragon Lord, I absolutely cannot forgive it . ”

The Evil Dragon Lord wouldn’t have readily fallen for the enemy’s trap . Which meant, he went to the Saintess of his own

volition . To put her to death, or maybe to win her over . I wasn’t able to see through his far sighted and prudent mind, but as his kin, ordered to restrain myself, I couldn’t meddle needlessly .

{Nevertheless, suppressing the urge to destroy this trap right away was a terrible hards.h.i.+p for Rēko . She could’ve easily broken through the barrier Saintess made just by swinging her dagger . However, since the Evil Dragon Lord wasn’t taking those measures, were she to make a move, she’d have ignored his will . }

“I cannot . If I were to cut in here, it’d be the same as me not having trust in the Evil Dragon Lord . That mustn’t be . As kin, I shouldn’t stand out where it’s not my place . ”

{That was why, she absolutely wouldn’t do anything . She stopped herself at just fully releasing her killing intent towards the Saintess from above the water puddle . All of the hallway’s windows shattered into fine pieces . }

There should be no problem with this much . The Saintess was now in front of a genuine Evil Dragon Lord’s eyes . The released by me bloodthirst would be like a drop lost in the ocean .

With this I managed to let out some of my pent-up anger . Now I just have to carry out my walk as the Evil Dragon Lord ordered .

“Uwaa! What the h.e.l.l is this? All of the windows are broken!”

I slipped past the panicking innkeeper and went outside . I was barefoot and wearing silk clothes as a subst.i.tute for

for pyjamas, but the Evil Dragon Lord also usually didn’t really wear much . In that case, he shouldn’t mind me lightly dressed .

When I was walking, several loudly squealing children came running down the road . Looking closely, they were holding vegetable sc.r.a.ps and tree roots in their hands .

“Where did Doradora[2] disappear to―?”

“He said he wanted to stay at some inn, didn’t he?”

“I was hoping to meet him again today…”

“He probably hasn’t left yet . Let’s search for him, search!”

I see . Judging from their conversation, they seemed to be searching for an unusual animal called Doradora . Come to think of it, when I was scolded the Evil Dragon Lord told me to play with human children as a way of learning their customs and habits .

{They came at the right time, Rēko thought and readily approached the group of children . She pulled out her dagger and held it up towards the sky, saying,}
