“… So that’s how it was brat . You also were bound to that girl by fate…”

“Aah, the real Rēko may be a bit weird but she’s not evil . After becoming the Evil Dragon’s underling she was made into an accomplice of evil, even though there’s no way she wanted it…”

Lady Saintess was listening with a triumphant look on her face to the long talk between the gold-haired boy and Doradora .

The narrated content was a tragic story of a ‘young girl turned into an Evil Dragon’s kin’, but Mr Lizard already told me the truth of the matter .

This feeling of superiority is exquisite .

If the truth were to spread Lady Rēko may go berserk so revealing it to others was strictly prohibited―― this is now nothing but a distant worry . The reason is naturally the coaching in wickedness performed by this grand me; the majority of the Evil Dragon’s power should’ve already transferred over to Mr Lizard . When that happens the reason to go berserk will disappear .

That leaves the question of timing – when exactly should I give it away . It’ll surely give them a real surprise . And then they’ll no doubt be in admiration of this Saintess’ information gathering skills . The winner in this information age will be me, the Water Saintess . You all can tremble before me .

Just when she was pondering while grinning to herself Doradora abruptly brought up a topic .

“However Saintess, there’s something I don’t understand . It looked like the one who stopped that kin girl from destroying this town in the prior battle was Rēvendia . My memory may be vague so… is that what happened?”

“Uh huh regarding that, it’s actually――”

There’s no helping it . Let’s reveal it right now―― Just when she began talking, Lady Saintess unexpectedly realized a certain truth and shut her mouth .

Thanks to embarking on the path of evil Mr Lizard will soon really turn into an unrivalled Evil Dragon . It’s not wrong to say that he’s weak at the current stage, but before long that fact will become nothing but a false rumour . When that happens naturally I’d be the one criticised by everyone telling me that I’m blind despite being a Saintess .

I won’t allow that . That absolutely cannot be allowed to happen .

Lady Saintess choose to change her plans in just a second . She decided to go the route of self-appeal by putting Mr Lizard who would soon become a genuine Evil Dragon to practical use .

“That was because Lady Rēko, who was not yet used to controlling her magic power, has gone out of control . Mr Lizard just admonished her…”

“Mr Lizard?”

Doradora’s and the boy’s voices had overlapped each other . Lady Saintess inclined her head deeply and continued with an expression br.i.m.m.i.n.g of confidence .

“That’s right, by Mr Lizard I mean the Evil Dragon Rēvendia . I ultimately suffered defeat, but the fact still stands that I’ve once fought a fierce battle with that Evil Dragon Rēvendia . He praised my strenuous efforts and recognized me as an equal, at the same time allowing me to call him casually . The reason why Mr Lizard stopped Lady Rēko, his kin from going berserk was because if he didn’t, he feared I might step up and confront her directly――”

While continuing her explanation, Lady Saintess suddenly felt fl.u.s.tered in her heart . One could say there was not even a shred of enthusiasm in the gazes of the two listening to her words . Instead she even felt a bit of pity .

Strange . Originally they should’ve really got into the record of how my evenly matched battle with the Evil Dragon unfolded .

Doradora closed his eyes while the boy looked up in the town’s direction .

“Don’t push yourself Saintess . I know you’re strong but you couldn’t possibly be a match for that Evil Dragon . No need to feel ashamed of defeat . Trying to smooth things over is much more shameful . Live strong, chin up and walk forward…”

“The reason why Evil Dragon b.a.s.t.a.r.d didn’t a.s.sault this town must be because he wants to make it into his territory one day…”
