If anyone still thinks Kumoko is the Demon Lord herself with the black and white hair, you weren't paying attention this episode. All I'm saying. One of them was a red herring, and now we have evidence pointing the other way. They showed us.

I can already foresee a situation where, kid finds out Kumoko is to blame for her brothers death, is trying to kill her, even though dragon girl knows who she is, and kid forces her to try and kill Kumoko.
Maybe, but far more likely, Fei knows what Kumoko knows about the world by that point.

They both have points in Taboo. Shun doesn't, and the psycho zealot girl who is now declared "The Saint" will be looking for it.

Kumoko got the data-dump. Fei probably will at some point. Shun will definitely want to kill Kumoko, and Fei will know Kumoko is at least aware that the world will end unless they do something drastic (like conquer the world?). She just won't be able to go against Shun.
