The head honcho of the Hamelin Demon community could very well be tucked inside Asuka's bosom. But that would make the "truth" of the legend that faeries spirited the children away. Who knows.

I feel like the challenge is inherently unfair. I got that demon lord challenges couldn't be refused, and was somewhat accepting of that fact, but the way the rules were written here, the demon lords that issue a challenge don't even have to actively participate. That's garbage. They only are because it is fun.

The rules put the burden on Shiroyasha, who will get freed if someone, anyone really, kills or subdues all the occupants of the area. The demon lords are just making that happen faster, they could just as easily wait for someone else to do it. They're not threatened by the other winning condition either, because it's not that they have to get defeated, someone just needs to find the truth behind the legend. If they had wanted to make it harder, they could have merely observed from far away, not making it clear what legend needed to be corrected.

Maybe if we're lucky, they'll decide that the demon lords are violating some sort of participation rule, and Kuro Usagi will stomp them with all of the power at her disposal.

I'm a bit disappointed in Izayoi. Shiroyasha should not have had to tell him that just barely not seeing is always better than seeing directly.
