As Abigail, I caused trouble in infinite space.

Sandra asked curiously.

"you..."

“Me?” Sandra pointed to herself.

At this moment, Abigail smiled slightly, and then her figure disappeared from where she was.

"Wow!!"

Sandra suddenly cried out, and Abigail appeared behind her, her arms wrapped around her, her fingertips tracing patterns on her body.

"Just as I imagined, petite and cute, with smooth skin, it's so comfortable to hold."

What are you doing!

Seeing Sandra suddenly attacked, Mandela was about to rush over when an invisible force suddenly sent him flying.

"Get out of my way, this is none of your business!"

"elder brother!"

Sandra cried out in a panic.

"Don't worry, I won't hit you hard."

"You insolent scoundrel, get out of Sandra!"

Sure enough, Mandela got up and tried to rush over again, but this time he was pinned to the ground.

As a way of venting her frustration, Abigail pressed down quite hard.

The others watched this dramatic turn of events, unsure how to react. But regardless, a potential conflict had been resolved in some way.

"By the way, White Demon, what was that rumor that guy mentioned? Is that your reason for coming to ask us for help?"

"One of the Thousand Eyes' executives made a prophecy that there were signs of a demon king's attack during the Fire Dragon's Birth Festival."

"Are you talking about Abigail?"

"Izayoi Sakamaki said jokingly."

"Of course it's not her, it's another demon king."

"Hmm? To be honest, I'm quite surprised. I thought it was some kind of commotion about fighting for the right to inherit the Dominator's throne."

"You guys agreed without even hearing the details. We won't apologize."

"That's right, so what do you want us to do? By the way, was that prophecy accurate?"

"There's almost no mistake, because it was sent by Laplace's demon."

Hearing this, the black rabbit was surprised:

"That one who, according to legend, can see through everything in fables..."

"This only states the fact that the Demon King is coming, but after all, it is that guy. I'm afraid he even predicted the prisoner who summoned the Demon King."

Although White Demon didn't explicitly state it, she seemed to have guessed some of the truth.

"Are you trying to fool us? You know perfectly well who the culprit is, yet you only tell us about the Demon King's attack! Waaah..."

Just then, Mandela's voice came from the side.

"Ouch, even though you're pinned to the ground, you still can't shut your mouth. Just how much do you want to show off your presence?!"

Abigail glanced at Mandela, who was pinned to the ground and unable to move, muttered a complaint, and casually gagged him.

"The main culprit who caused the incident has already been identified, but we cannot reveal their name. Does this mean that the other party is in a situation that cannot be explained to us?"

"Could it be that the other ruling classes are colluding with the Demon King?"

"I don't know yet, but the other rulers were indeed not cooperating with Sandra's birth festival this time."

"If this is related to the Demon King's attack, then it's a major event."

"Is this so strange? Aren't there already two demon kings standing here?"

Everyone present was surprised to hear Izayoi Sakamaki's question.

Ren quickly explained to him:

"Whether it's rare or not, it's terrible. The hierarchy rulers are the guardians of order in the lower communities, protecting them from the Demon King, like a dam."

"But he's just someone with brain cells, how could he not be plotting something?"

"That's why we must severely punish that person."

"But the enemy we face right now is the prophesied Demon King. We hope that you guys can help us conquer the Demon King's Gift Tournament."

“I understand. Nameless will fight alongside your community.”

"Yes, this is also to protect the order of the miniature garden. We swear to make the main culprit receive the appropriate punishment."

"Salamda too, Ren, good luck, I'm really looking forward to it."

“I have high hopes for you guys too.” Abigail, who had rested her head on Sandra’s shoulder, then gave a thumbs up.

"Ah."

"There's no need to be so nervous, because the Demon King will be dealt with by us, the strongest ruler of the hierarchy, the White Yaksha. You all just need to help clear the way with Sandra."

"Hey, White Demon, what do you want me to do? Give me something interesting."

"Do whatever you want!"

"You said it yourself!"

Even if I'm telling you this, don't go too far astray!

At this moment, White Demon seemed to notice that Izayoi Sakamaki's expression was a little off:

"Any complaints, kid?"

"No, this is a good opportunity to understand the Demon King's strength. However, it wouldn't matter if some other guy accidentally defeated the Demon King, would it?"

Upon hearing Izayoi Sakamaki's words, Shiroyasha immediately understood his intentions.

"Okay, we give you permission."

The conversation ended there. Some preparations still needed to be made, but Abigail had nothing else to do. So she decided to take another stroll around the city, since there were still so many interesting things to see.

The recovery here is quite fast; the fever was only recently started and it's already been mostly cleared up.

I glanced at the area that Black Rabbit and Izayoi Sakamaki had destroyed. It had been mostly cleared up. Although the damage to the buildings had not yet been repaired, the rubble and debris had been removed.

Walking down the street, Abigail noticed that there seemed to be a lot of stained glass around her, far more than the exhibits provided by the usual community.

"I remember this glass was something like..."

Although her memory was somewhat hazy, Abigail still vaguely recalled that these stained glass windows were key to victory in this Demon King's Gift Tournament. Of course, Abigail wasn't good at things that required thinking.

The game of the miniature garden requires a combination of wisdom and strength, and Abigail is somewhat lacking in the latter. However, Abigail is never worried about this. Although she may not be able to outwit others, Abigail has a cheat code.

No matter how difficult a riddle is, it is meaningless to those who know the answer.

While admiring the various beautiful and strange exhibits along the roadside, Abigail arrived at a place that resembled a cave.

"what!"

For some reason, a commotion broke out inside the cave, and a large number of visitors rushed out of the cave.

"What happened?"

Seeing the commotion, unlike the others, Abigail did the opposite; she decided to see what was going on. So, without hesitation, she went straight into the cave.

Inside the cave, Asuka Kudo, wielding a longsword, was running towards the cave entrance while fending off the gnawing rats behind her. She noticed the rats were chasing her, but clearly their target wasn't her; it was another person attached to her—a small, yellow sprite.

Faced with the rats relentlessly crawling onto her, Kudo Asuka could only try to keep them from knocking her down. She hoped to escape the cave; that way, once outside, the rats wouldn't be able to chase her so recklessly.

"Why are there so many rats? Is this cave a rat nest?"

Just then, Kudo Asuka suddenly realized that the mice following behind her had all turned to ashes in an instant.

Then she turned her head and looked in the direction from which the footsteps came, and a small, dark figure walked towards her.

"Oh, young lady, have you stirred up a rat's nest?"

Chapter 286 The Gentlemen Reach a Consensus

In the Thousand Eyes Hot Spring, Kudo Asuka sat there, looking dejected, contemplating life.

Today's events were a heavy blow to her. Although she had a great time and made a good friend, the rat attack made her doubt her abilities. She couldn't understand why she couldn't even control a rat.

If it were another high-level blessing, it would be normal to be unable to control it, but her spiritual level couldn't possibly be lower than that of a rat.

Asuka Kudo could only think of one reason for this: these rats were being controlled by someone stronger than her.

However, this reveals a problem: her gifts may not be as useful as imagined, and their effectiveness will vary depending on the recipient. This is especially true for the gifts of domination that she pursues. Even if she controls a powerful weapon-type gift, she cannot wield it as freely as Izayoi Sakamaki or Yo Kasukabe.

This made her wonder if she had made the wrong choice.

However, she did not want to become a witch who manipulated others and twisted their hearts. The recognition she gained in this way was meaningless. So even if it was wrong, Kudo Asuka decided to continue down this path.

Having figured things out, Kuon Asuka looked up at Abigail, who was playing with the tiny yellow sprite, and couldn't help but sigh:

"She looks like a little girl, yet she possesses such immense power. And this hot spring, it so easily heals all my wounds. The Little Garden truly has many wondrous things. I can't let them leave me behind!"

"Asuka, I heard you're injured, is that true?"

Just then, the door to the hot spring entrance opened, and Black Rabbit excitedly ran in. Behind her, White Yaksha suddenly rushed out, shouting loudly:

"Wait, Black Rabbit! He's taking a bath even earlier than the patriarch. What are his intentions?!"

While shouting, White Demon rushed over, grabbed Black Rabbit's waist, and fell into the hot spring with her.

"I told you it's alright, Black Rabbit?"

"It's okay, gurgle gurgle gurgle..."

The black rabbit's head was submerged in the water, and it didn't look like it was alright at all.

After playing around for a while, Black Rabbit pulled her head out of the hot spring and looked at Kudo Asuka with a worried expression.

"Are you alright? There are no marks on your skin, are you? You're not just putting on a brave face, are you?"

"I was more worried about you. Don't worry, you'll be fine after taking a bath here."
