System vs Rebirth

While walking inside the forest to where they were going to go on their own separate ways, Anna asked, "What do you think about the bandits?"

"I think I told you last night. The mastermind is someone else, so the scenario will probably follow yours." Noel sighed.

"The method of capturing the demons to cause chaos, huh…" Anna raised her head, looking at the sky and recounting the past memory.

'In my past life, the cause of this incident was none other than the Supreme Devil Organization. The Demon Banner Army was suppressing them sooner or later until this method disappeared…' Anna suddenly remembered about Kirika and looked at Noel since he was the first one that encountered Kirika and the one who ended her life.

'Now that I think about it, Kirika managed to lure a thousand demons that crippled the Demon Banner Army, allowing the Supreme Devil Organization to attack the Demon Banner Army and gain their victory.

'If I take another look at it, how did Kirika control them? Capturing the demons and releasing them…' Anna's expression turned cold, realizing something. 'Don't tell me, they managed to do the same thing with a higher level demon? The Low Level Demon is just a trial.'

"It seems that you know about something." Noel glanced at her.

"Supreme Devil Organization. If I tell you they're the one causing this incident, will you believe me?" Anna asked nonchalantly as if she was talking random things.

"Ah!" Anna remembered that one guy.

"To be honest, having a tattoo that signify their affiliation is foolish, considering you're supposed to live in the shadows, not like the nobles who live in the open. I know that it's to spread fear to show people that they're everywhere. But if it were me, I don't want a tattoo… Just a secret code is enough."
