Slowly, the little girl lowered her bat.

"That... does sound like dad..." she trailed off for a moment. Though she wasn't poised to strike any longer, she was still gripping the baseball bat rather tightly. Shuffling her feet, she averted her eyes and took a deep breath.

"When everyone started rushing out, we got split up, so... so I hid back here and got a bat! I know it can't kill a demon, but if I took it by surprise and hit it hard enough I thought I could get away!"

She seemed proud of her own logic. Perhaps, against a Beast-class demon, it might have even worked.

She hesitated for a few moments, and when she next spoke her voice was quieter.

"Nobody's been hurt, right...?"

It seemed as if she hadn't seen whatever caused the bloody mess outside the shop, given the question.

It was at that moment that Shiro's voice reached all of them once more.

"I have pinpointed a Monster-class demonic signature, but it is strange. It should be at your location, do you see anything?"

Of course, the only unfamiliar figure among them was the little girl.

Perhaps someone looking closely would see something shift in the back of her tank-top...
