They cannot be removed. pyrelic/_relic.pxd is required to produce pyrelic/_relic.c. So if the C code needs to be regenerated, cython won't be able to do that without the pxd file. pyrelic/_relic.pyi is consumed by type checkers such as mypy. If you don't care about type annotations, then you can remove it.
