“That’s not what I’m saying. If you get hurt for no good reason, you’ll eventually be incapable of fighting. That’ll be bad. The situation will just get worse and worse. I’m saying this precisely because we’re relying on your strength.”

“Mrgh...”

The abomination using Travis’s flesh wasn’t as strong as a cheater, but it was pretty close. The only one who could face it head-on was Dora.

“I understand what you’re saying, but what should we do, then?” Kudou said as his subordinate fell silent. “Having a poor plan will only make the situation worse. Against such powerful regeneration and that massive body, there are very few ways of dealing a fatal wound. Cutting off its head seems like the only way...”

“My king, forgive my insolence, but I’ve already tried that. The horror’s defenses are unexpectedly tough. My blade never reached it.”

Having fought the thing directly, she knew it would be difficult for her to take the horror’s head on her own. It was mysterious that even in its current state, totally bereft of reason, it still maintained some sense of self-preservation. Travis’s vast experience was still powering that monstrous engine of destruction. I doubted his personality remained intact, but even after being reduced to such dregs, he was a huge pain. This meant we needed some kind of plan. What strategy could hope to best such a creature?

“In that case, shall we have Dora stall it?” Kudou concluded with ease. “We can’t resort to half measures. We can have Dora persevere to the end to buy us a significant amount of time. That’ll allow us to run far enough away that it won’t be able to catch up so easily.”

“You mean to sacrifice her?” I asked.

“My subordinates exist for that reason.”

Kudou’s answer was just as expected. I took a glance to see Dora listening to her master without questioning his words. I’d almost forgotten due to her emotional transparency, but she was no more than another of the Demon King’s pawns. This was perfectly normal to them. However, for an instant, the image of a two-headed wolf came to mind.

“No, let’s think of another plan,” I said.

Dora looked displeased. Her attitude really did remind me of when I first met Berta. On the other hand, Kudou looked as if he’d figured I’d say that.

“Is that so?” he said, backing down unexpectedly fast. “What other choice do we have? We don’t have much time.”

“Let’s see...”

Kudou was right. We were still some distance away, so it was going to take around five minutes before it caught up to us. We had to decide on how to fight it before that happened. We didn’t have many options. I thought it over a bit before answering.

“We just have to make an opening large enough for Dora to take its head.”

“An opening, huh? Well, that’s true,” Kudou agreed, throwing a glance at Dora.

“Of course, my king,” she said, nodding. “I’ll prove I can lop off that repulsive head.”

“There’s your answer,” Kudou said.

“P-Please hold on...a minute,” Katou interjected.

It was hard for her to talk because of all the shaking, but she felt compelled to regardless.
