After the fight with the basilisk, Asuka went back to the main guild headquarters of the Witches Guild. She knew that Chiyo should be up and about already by now.
Sure enough, Chiyo is in the brewery, preparing to make a potion.
“What do you need Hecate’s poison for, Chiyo? Is there someone that you want killed discreetly? That explains why you had me hunt down a basilisk today.”
“Perfect. You arrived right in time, my dear assistant. You're correct,Asuka, there's someone I want killed. But I'm not disclosing to you whom I want dead.“
"You're not dear to me. I only assist you because I have to, Chiyo. And always watch your back. "
Asuka smiled a feral smile at Chiyo, the hidden threat plain to read in her face.
Asuka is right. She herself resents me. I only control the Witch Guild because I got it through treachery. And half the witches here would like to kill me, because of what I did to Satsuki. I need to keep my guard up, or it will be my undoing.
