Sudden Extermination

Honestly, I was a little flustered. When Odelia first declared it, she said they had gathered for exploration, not Extermination. But now, suddenly, she wanted to try to catch it. Moreover, it felt a bit strange to go in with such a small number of Personnel.

So I looked at her and asked.

Odelia continued.

“And since it’s not coming out of that Village... it probably won’t chase us either.”

In short, she wanted to use the "If Not, Then Not" Strategy. We'd charge in. If it was catchable, we'd take the Demon's head, and if it was stronger than expected, we'd just run away.

Even if we couldn't catch it, we'd gather enough information to prepare for next time.

It was, in effect, a plan with only benefits.

Moreover, having fewer personnel was an advantage in such a situation. Didn't that mean we could secure mobility? It was actually better for quickly breaking through the village and landing the first blow on the demon.

“Of course, we”d have to take on that much risk...'

Honestly, I wasn't too worried. It's awkward to say so myself, but I'm not weak. I've had plenty of experience catching Demons. I've even faced Demons alone quite a few times. This Demon's ability seems a bit unique, but I'm confident...
