Volume 2, Chapter 10, Epilogue
The masked girl stood atop a three-headed dragon with ten Wyverns under her command.
She observed Yuuki and the others from high above.
While attracting a large number of Salamanders and Hell Hounds, Yuuki and the others made their escape towards the central mountains of the Conchue, utilizing their skill, Escape.
Their skills seemed to have significantly powered up, as neither the Salamanders nor the Hell Hounds could get anywhere near Yuuki and the others due to the plants such as vines obstructing them.
"Lies? Are they really planning to just escape like this?"
The masked girl murmured as she removed her mask.
She was quite a beautiful girl, with facial features that somewhat resembled Yuuki.
"Is it a lie? Aren't they going to fight?"
As soon as Yuuki and the others entered a relatively uninhabited mountain area, their speed suddenly increased, escaping at a high speed.
They must have used the skill, High-Speed Escape.
Yuuki and the others were too fast, and neither the Salamanders nor the Hell Hounds could keep up.
"It's possible to evolve. The stronger you wish, the stronger you become."
"If he set his mind to it, he can defeat Leviathan or the Explosive Dragon King Gouou in a single blow and become infinitely stronger."
"The stronger the will to fight, the more the skills... the body evolves into a combat type..."
The girl who had removed her mask murmured repeatedly, seemingly quite shaken.
"Why did it evolve into running awayyyyyyyy!!!"
The girl wearing a mask threw the mask she had just taken off at the dragon.
"What are we going to do? What are we going to do? The time of the
"Besides, the guardian deity is the immovable Myō-ō who burns the enemies, so why did it become a skill specialization for running away!"
The girl wearing the mask is venting her frustration.
Leviathan, who was desperately running towards the mountain and getting battered, looked up at the distant mountain range, seemingly understood that it was impossible to chase anymore, and drooped its head in disappointment before slowly returning to the sea. The girl who had taken off her mask saw this.
The plan to enhance Yuki's combat evolution by having him fight against monsters had completely failed.
The girl closed her eyes and reminisced.
In front of her was an elderly man of similar appearance wearing a similar mask.
"Yuki was watching Eva movies and TV shows, right?"
The masked old man asked the girl.
"Well, he was watching, but it felt like he was just going along with his friends..."
The girl replied.
"Then you should understand. The reason why we push Eva and make our daughters cosplay as Asuka and Rei."
With confidence, the masked old man passionately spoke.
"He will surely remember that line from that episode! There's no doubt! He should understand our intentions properly!"
The masked old man firmly held the girl's shoulder.
And he said,
"Don't run away, don't run away, don't run away, don't run away, don't run away!"
To the girl who had taken off her mask, it sounded like a cursed phrase.
The girl who had taken off her mask was pulled back from her reminiscence to reality as if waking up from a nightmare and said while kicking the dragon's back with all her might,
"There's no way he could understand that!"
