Slayers in a Demon's World {Demon Slayer x The Promised Neverland}

017: Destroy

Hey guys! I will be changing my updating schedule from now on. I'll upload every second day to give me time to write. School is growing nearer and with family issues, this book might go on a short hiatus. But I'll make sure that doesn't happen unless necessary! Thank you for reading and voting for this book! :D

I've got to hurry up and find a way to destroy these trackers! Emma intensely stared at the child inside the bath as she was inspecting their body for any signs of a tracker in their left ear. The child watched Emma as her hands rested on their shoulders. Why can't I find a single scratch behind their ears?

I didn't know this would be so hard! What in the world should I do? Emma giggled sheepishly as she dried the child, the latter reaching for the ginger's cheek and tugging on it gently. Could it be that there are no trackers in the first place? Was the whole concept a lie that Y/n, Nezuko and Mama created to scare us?

No. It can't be. Y/n and Nezuko wouldn't make up a lie like that just to join us. Emma trailed off from clothing the baby, placing it in their crib. The transmitters definitely exist. If not, there's no way she would be able to deduce that there were three targets.

Emma buttoned up the child's shirt, tucking them under neath their newly changed blankets. Heck, it's weirder that I can't find a single thing on this child's body... She recently arrived but her ear doesn't have any mark. Maybe I should move onto Carol now.

Emma moved over to Carol who Shinobu recently changed. She glanced at the pink and green haired girl, watching her as she fumbled about nervously with the top. Shinobu eventually arrived at Mitsuri's aid and buttoned up the top.

Emma lifted up Carol, hugging her and moving the child to her own crib, patting the sapphire eyed child's head, stroking through the girl's pale salmon hair. Gilda approached the tangerine-haired girl slowly, a worried gaze obvious in her eyes.

"You have a talent with babies... Emma," Gilda began, aware of the two girls watching them with confusion. Mitsuri and Shinobu bit the insides of their cheeks, understanding the distance that had grown between the two.

"Just look at Carol! You can tell she already loves you," the greenette continued to approach the pair, still waiting for an answer. Carol clung to Emma's back, resting her chin on the girl's shoulder. "Emma... I've been wanting to ask you..."

"CONNNNYYY???! HOW COULD YOU?" Emma gripped the fabric and shrieked in disbelief. Gilda, Y/n, Nezuko and Norman raced behind her with their brooms.

"That night..." her shoulders sagged, staring at the ground with her amber eyes before pressing her foot on the ground. "On that night...On that night! W-"

"Eh! Emma?"

Emma swung Carol off her shoulder and forcefully placed the child on her back, turning the baby on her side. Gilda approached the girl from behind, watching as Emma's soft finger pushed Carol's left ear to the side. Of course, there was an inflamed red bump with a mark in the middle.

This is what Y/n was talking about! So it wasn't a lie!

"Huh? What is that? A bug bite?" Gilda placed her hand on Emma's shoulder while Shinobu and Mitsuri approached them, noticing the quarrelling.

"It's a needle mark," Shinobu pointed at the black dot in the middle of the dark red bump.

"It's from the blood tests that doctors perform on us before we arrive here, to ensure we're fit and healthy," Emma's olive eyes glazed as Mitsuri leant forward, tugging on Carol's ear and exploding at the child's cute face.
