The pitch-black rat swarm they had encountered in the dark cave had left a deep impression on Asuka. Every single rat had been incredibly weak.
Even an ordinary person could kill one with a single sword strike, but there had been tens of thousands of them.
Moreover, her Gift had been completely useless against the rat swarm. She imagined that sight would often return to her mind.
Asuka looked at the adorable little sprite sleeping on her skirt, her heart filled with worry.
She remembered that the sprite had said it was a Rat Catcher as well...
Whether or not the sprite truly was a Rat Catcher, it was at least connected to those Demon Kings.
Asuka was somewhat worried. This little sprite had clearly been targeted by the enemy controlling the rat swarm.
If she could not protect it, something very bad would happen.
White Night Yaksha closed her eyes and began to think. "Setting aside whether this is the demon from the prophecy, there may very well be remnants of the Fantasy Grimoire Group hiding among them.
To avoid bringing shame upon Sandora, I'll have someone keep watch. If anything happens, it will be our turn to step in."
The meeting had ended, and Asuka remained alone in the conference room, considering her next course of action.
As a member of the Nameless Community, she needed to make sufficient preparations for the current situation.
She could not let all the burden fall upon her companions. Asuka was a person with principles too.
Therefore, she needed to carefully devise a plan to deal with enemies whose strength and purpose were both unknown.
Even if those enemies grew stronger and stronger, she would never back down.
"Rat Catcher, Pied Piper of Hamelin... Could that child be a Demon King's subordinate?"
