What is she doing here?' Noa asked himself.
The girl who was nearing the magical array while holding her enormous axe was someone he had met once.
Though Noa didn't know her name, she was a memorable person for sure.
Not only because she was Mr. Z's daughter, but also because of her strength that allowed her to harvest Noa's echoes.
But there was an even weirder reason.
Something neither of them could explain.
Noa felt a connection with her, as if they were linked or shared something important.
It was more than an internal sensation and affected their nonexistent relationship.
Still, Noa's sense stretched far wider than the girl's, allowing him to get inside the array with no problem.
Being a demon had its own perks, and he abused them to the absolute limit.
The magic allowed him to get inside the village.
So he had to begin his raid before the girl realized something was wrong or found a way to destroy the array.
