Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

Chapter 572: The murderer, the piper of Hamel?

"It seems that Sandra has had a hard time these years."

Regarding Salamandra's situation, Ren, who was once Salamandra's ally and a good friend of Sandra, couldn't help but feel emotional and sympathetic.

The problem children didn't have any special feelings about this. For an organization, such a drama was just too common.

Even Izayoi Sakamaki stroked his chin and speculated with evil amusement:

"Generally, this type of story would involve a struggle for inheritance rights. For example, the guy named Mandela was actually dissatisfied with Sandra and was secretly planning to usurp the throne..."

"Please don't say that."

Hearing this, Ren smiled bitterly and said:

"Although Mr. Mandela behaved a little badly today, with a bad temper and looked down on others, his concern and care for Sandra as a brother is by no means fake."

"Is that so?"

Izayoi Sakamaki shrugged indifferently and said:

"That's a shame. It's going to miss a plot twist."

On the other side, Fujimaru Ritsuka turned his head to look at Hisaon Asuka beside him, or more precisely, at the yellow elf with a pointed hat that looked like a cake and was sitting on her shoulder.

She asked curiously:

"By the way, where did this child come from?"

Noticing Fujimaru Ritsuka's gaze, the elf immediately shrank back and hid behind Kuon Asuka's neck, leaving only half of his head exposed to peek.

Jiuyuan Asuka reached out and took her down, smiling and explaining:

"Don't be afraid, they are all my companions who belong to the same community as me."

"Companion? Asuka's?"

"Ah."

"……companion!"

The elf seemed to understand the current situation quickly. The frightened expression on his face quickly disappeared, and he looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka curiously.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka waved to her in a friendly manner. The elf immediately showed a happy smile on his face, waved back at her excitedly, and then shouted:

"Rattenfanger!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was stunned when she heard this, and felt that the name sounded somewhat familiar. The next moment, she suddenly reacted and said:

"Come to think of it, one of the communities that advanced to the finals with us seems to be called this name!"

Moreover, it was a six-digit community.

"Six figures...! Is your community really that powerful?"

"uh-huh!"

Jiuyuan Feiniao looked at the elf in surprise, and the other party puffed out his chest proudly.

Then, Jiuyuan Asuka smiled helplessly and continued to explain that because the little guy didn't seem to have his own name, he used the name of the community to introduce himself.

"I see."

Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly realized, then smiled at her:

"Hello, my name is Fujimaru Ritsuka, just call me Ritsuka."

"Ritsuka~! Rattenfanger!"

Jiuyuan Asuka continued:

"We met this little guy on the road. According to Renjun, he was a lone elf from the group. We quickly became friends."

"friend!"

The elf agreed happily.

But then, a hesitant expression appeared on Jiuyuan Asuka's face, and hesitantly said:

"Speaking of which, there is actually a clue about the man who attacked us during the day."

"Oh?"

Bai Yasha at the side couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly and cast his eyes over, only to see Jiuyuan Fei Niao narrating:

"Before the attack, we heard the other side say, 'A bold lunatic impersonating the name of [Rattenfanger]!' It seemed that the remarks were directed at the little guy."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at the elf with either surprise or inquiry. The elf seemed to understand the current situation too well, and facing everyone's gazes, he just tilted his head in confusion.

"A bold lunatic pretending to be a Rattenfanger... Does that mean they think their community should be a Rattenfanger...?"

Bai Yasha fell into deep thought.

In the small garden, the name of each community is unique and represents a unique meaning. Since the attacker thinks that he is the [Rattenfanger], it at least shows that the other party is related to this title.

However, before she could think carefully about the meaning of [Rattenfanger], Izayoi Sakamaki beside her said with a smile:

"The name Rattenfanger, plus the way he controls rats' attacks through the sound of his flute, basically confirms that he is Hamel's flute player, right?"

"The Pied Piper of Hamel?!"

The moment he heard this name, Bai Yasha's pupils shrank slightly, and he asked in a deep voice:

"Wait, what's going on? Explain it carefully, kid."

Although I don't know why Shiroyasha suddenly became so excited, Izayoi Sakamaki said with a smile:

"It's actually very simple. Young Master should be able to figure it out, right? Rattenfanger means flute player in German, and this flute player is a metaphor for 'The Pied Piper of Hamel', one of the Grimm's fairy tales."

There are several story creation scenes in Grimm's fairy tales, all of which refer to historical research. The Pied Piper of Hamel is one of them. Hamel is the name of the town where the story takes place.

The inscription used as a prototype for Grimm's fairy tale "The Pied Piper of Hamel" is as follows:

——1284, John and Paul’s Day, June 6.

130 children born in Hamel were lured out by a piper in colorful clothes and finally disappeared at the execution ground near the hill.

The inscription recounts actual events that occurred in the town of Hamel and is displayed alongside a piece of stained glass.

It was also the prototype of a story that later became one of Grimm's fairy tales, created under the name "The Pied Piper of Hamel".

The method of controlling mice to attack was given to the Pied Piper in Grimm's Fairy Tales.

After hearing the whole story, everyone nodded in understanding, then looked at Bai Yasha, waiting for the other party's sudden excitement to explain.

Bai Yasha took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"As far as I know, the so-called 'Flute Player of Hamel' is the name of a certain community affiliated with the Demon King."

"What?"

"The Demon King's group is called the Grimm Grimoires. It is led by a talented summoner and has summoned demons from more than two hundred grimoires."

The opponent can summon multiple demons from a magic book, and even each different world background in the magic book is included. All the contents of the magic book have clearly defined rules and coercive power in the form of a game board. He is an extremely powerful demon king.

"But the demon king lost in a gift game with a certain community and should have died."

Having said this, Bai Yasha paused for a moment and said in a serious tone:

"If the one who attacked you was the [Flute Player of Hamel], then perhaps it means that the one who attacked the birth of the fire dragon this time was the remnant of that demon king, right?"

"..."

After finally confirming the Demon King's message, everyone fell into a brief silence, digesting the current situation.

"Wait a moment,"

Black Rabbit suddenly reacted and asked Izayoi Sakamaki and the others in a panic:

"This is such important information, why didn't you explain it in the meeting just now?!"

Kuon Asuka and Sakamaki Izayoi said in unison:

"Because I'm upset with that Mandela/Angry Man." x2

“…You, you problem children—!!”

"Crack! Crack!"

Black Rabbit took out a paper fan and angrily hit the two of them. At the same time, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the elf on Kuon Asuka's shoulder and asked in confusion:

"If that's the case, then what's the matter with this little fellow's community?"
