The Problem Children Have Been Increased To Four!?!?!?

Chapter 11

The exhibition hall in the boundary wall was currently empty, with Pest using it as a base. After all, this place that had a variety of art exhibits could overcome the overwhelming boredom during the rest time. On the trip back to the exhibition after the deliberation, Ratten pulled down the hem of her white dress and happily asked Pest.

Ratten: Uhh... Uhh, Master! How are we going to spend the whole of next week?

Pest: Not much, we have no plans.

Compared to the elated tone of Ratten, Pest had a slightly lukewarm tone of response. Her previous eloquent tone was already gone. Not wanting to say any more gossip, she quietly walked towards the huge cave entrance.

As if remembering something, Weser inquired something towards Ratten.

Weser: Hey, Ratten, have you found the faker of [Rattenfänger]?

Ratten: Ah~~ couldn't find it, the rats did not find anything and let the other person run away. Never mind, the person definitely participated in the game, we should wait until the 8th day to uncover the truth.

Both of them shrugged their shoulders. The three of them walked along with the selection of exhibits and into the huge cave, where they widened their eyes due to the transformed site.

Ratten: Oh? Where is the iron doll in the center?

Pest tilted her head in confusion, with surprised reactions coming from Ratten and Weser that far exceeded her reaction.

They rushed into the center of the cave, hurriedly looking for traces of its disappearance.

Ratten: How could it be....! The huge iron doll just suddenly disappeared! No, what's important ain't that! I remember the creator of the doll was indeed-

The community [Rattenfänger]. Using the metaphor of Grimm's child stories [Piper of Hamelin], someone who created the huge iron man without leaving any mark, suddenly disappearing without any trace.

At this time a few rats scampered towards the startled people and brought even worse news.

Ratten: Wh.....What? Even that red-clothed girl disappeared too! What exactly are you doing, you incompetent idiots!

Informed of the disappearance of both Asuka and the iron doll, Ratten ferociously crushed a rat.

Weser spat out some instructions for Ratten.

Weser: What are you doing, Ratten! Use the rats to search for them! They might not have gotten far!

Ratten: I know, I know! Ahhhh, Master! I'll be going to settle those fugitives, please excuse my leave-

Pest: Don't care about it. It's so troublesome and I am too tired already. Fuahh~

Pest yawned while lying on the tablecloth while preparing to sleep.

With the momentum disrupted, Ratten wondering what she should do, Pest gave her a smile that would send chills down to anyone's spine.

Pest: Let them struggle all they like. No matter if it's an obstruction or faker, they will all be killed after 8 days.

Doesn't this solve everything? [Black Percher] leaked out a smile.

=====

Fairy: Asuka! Asuka....!

The childish sound and icy droplets that slid down the cheeks.

Something small was shaking Asuka's body.

Fairy: Gu.....Guuuu...! Asu......Asuka......Asuka!

The ground was flat underneath the body and the lukewarm soil gave out a smell.
