Yatagarasu (八咫烏(やたがらす) Yata Garasu) was a criminal organisation that had targeted businesses throughout Axel.[1]

Overview[]

Composed of thugs wearing shirts with a yatagarasu embroidered on it, the members go around all kinds of businesses claiming to be providers of "security services", in which those who signed a contract with them need to give up a percentage of their earnings as well as place a yatagarasu sticker upon their storefronts. The contracts though also place an obligation on the organisation to protect the assets of their clients, and make them liable in the case losses and damages occur.

If a business refuses to contract their services, then the members will continuously harass them in ways that are borderline illegal, yet police can do nothing about if called, until the business gives in and agrees to sign a contract. An example is the thugs occupying all the seats of an eatery in order to impede normal business operations, and by pretending to take their time looking at the menu while doing so, they can simply order their food as soon as the police arrive so that they will be able to pose as legitimate customers.

When the organisation extended operations into Axel, however, they ran into some unexpected difficulties in the form of unconventional residents resisting their "promotion" efforts, such as a stall owner who tried to sell a member fruit that he had damaged at a hefty price, Wiz who was so poor they instead gifted her with food out of pity, and a suspiciously prosperous cafe that refused their services with the backing of many male adventurers. Nevertheless, they soon coerced nearly all of the businesses around the city into contracting with them, with Undyne also seeking their protection for his mansion. Some requests though, like the one from Vanir who asked them to deal with the vicious Aqua, were fearfully declined.

The organisation was soon faced with all sorts of bizarre problems when clients complained of the security services not meeting standards and demanded compensation for damages, examples being a pub frequented by the rowdy Axis Order and Undyne who was struck again by the Silver-Haired Thief Brigade, in addition to the fake businesses set up by Dust and his accomplices as part of his con scheme against the organistion. Its members also ran into various wacky residents causing trouble for them, such as Megumin and Darkness whose respective aggression and immunity from prosecution baffled the organisation.

Operations became further pressed after the yatagarasu stickers upon the contracted businesses started to be cleanly removed faster than the members could replace them, so in desperation, the organisation carried out a nighttime attack on the cafe that had been refusing their services in hopes of convincing it to relent, only to be easily defeated by its Succubi staff. Because of an actual crime being committed, despite their claims of vigilantism against prohibited services, the organisation members all ended up arrested.
