The demon scam

It's quite a bit to walk and Merle is starting to look tired. As you approach the town, you clearly see one building that stands out among the others, a tall white tower. You can't see any demons around, except for a few creatures circling the tower. Hopefully they're just birds.

When you enter the first street, you find it almost empty. There is a group of shady-looking demons hovering around the square up ahead. They don't look very cute and cuddly and the closed houses on this street aren't exactly welcoming.
