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

021: Moles

Sorry for the long wait! I'll try update every Monday :D (And yes, the title is relevant)

"I plan on letting the oldest children into the plan soon," Norman whispered in a low voice, tending to the dishes in the sink. He ensured his voice was low that the woman cleaning the table behind them wouldn't hear.

"So... what'll we do regarding the caretakers?" Ray gestured to the side with a fork, pointing it to Sister Krone.

"We'll need a way to kill off the demons and adults."

"We should rethink our current plan," Norman's sky blue eyes scanned up the wall.

"It'll be most of Y/n's group and us who'll handle this task..." Ray viciously scrubbed the plate as if he was sanding off the skin of a creature. "It'll be too much for Emma and the others to handle psychologically."

"Technically... that makes them saner than us. It's hard to believe that some of Y/n's group can handle it," Norman beamed into the shadows. "Mitsuri might not handle it, Muichiro... Rengoku..."

"You don't know everything about us eleven, but we'll make it work along with you three'. That's what Giyuu said, so we shouldn't underestimate them," Ray sighed as he rolled his sleeves up the fourth time. "It's kind of odd how he phrased that."

"I bet it's nothing," Norman tuned into his surroundings, ensuring that Sister Krone wouldn't manage to surprise them like last time.

"We should determine our actions before thinking of what they're planning. First, we'll separate those two, then we'll incapacitate them one by one, two against each."

"Incapacitate, huh," Ray stared off as he finished his set of dishes, drying them.

"It'll be much more of a struggle than going for the kill," Norman questioningly faced Ray as he turned the dish trolley around. "But if we plan on adding Y/n's group into the mix, it wouldn't be impossible. Even if going for the kill is an easier solution, I feel that there could be something blocking that as our solution."

Ray wagged the clipboard he had in his hands as he ticked off all the amount of dishes in the room. The albino beside him wheeled a silver trolley inside as they entered the pantry.

"They've made sure to track even us mere cattle," Norman turned his back to the raven-haired boy as he bent down, placing some displaced boxes away. "It's not farfetched to say that there's a possibility our caretakers are constantly monitored by those demons."

"True... it's quite likely. Even if we weren't to do anything, the demons would've made sure those two haven't died unexpectedly due to some illness or accident," Ray tossed the board to the rack, it landing perfectly as it swung over the pin. "They are responsible for us, and the stakes would've been raised higher since multiple of us are "premium livestock"."

Norman straightened himself upright, placing his finger over his ID code on his neck. We'll do anything to achieve our goal!

We've got to restrict those two!

"Do you think we can handle killing people?" Mitsuri bit her lip, tortured by the thought of killing someone like her.

They've only killed creatures that killed humans, not humans themselves. It seemed harsh, even if the adults could've lived their life as well.

"It has to be done," Shinobu shook her head with concern, her blank, violet eyes returning to address everyone. "If we want to save the children, we might have to kill any adults who appear to block our plans."
