Al gets a refill of tea and tea cakes, and takes a sigh of relief to calm down. Mana remains calm, but emotionally confused is another story.

According to Vince, the family has changed its policy since that incident with Al. He said that those who were dissatisfied with it took Naina out of the house and ran away.

As Vince mentioned earlier, if that is all, it is just a family problem. All we have to do is to hunt Naina and the others by ourselves while alerting Al.

But there was a problem that did not go away so easily. There was a dispute between the reconciliation faction and the open warfare faction.

“We are demons who have chosen to integrate into human society. For the sake of convenience, we are called the “harmony faction. And I thought that the ones who took Naina and the others who ran away were those who entered the kingdom on a secret mission from the demon territory’s mainland and were called the “open warfare faction” ……, but it seems that is not the case.”

“Huh. So you’re a peacemaker and an open warlord.”(As I recall, it came up in the game as well. I think it was only after the middle of the game that the demons started to appear in earnest, Demons were fighting amongst themselves, ……. So the detailed story of the game is only for reference. You know, the setting and flow of this world: ……)

It is true that Al was a bit out of his element when he learned about the demon tribe. What, they are no different from the human race? ……

At the same time, I understand why Vince and the others were hesitant to say anything about it.

“Until now, the kingdom has tolerated the existence of demon tribes in the country, but recently there seems to be a growing anti-demon movement among high ranking nobles. …… It has been difficult to get in touch with the collaborators of the kingdom …… whom we call our “protectors” who have assured us of our position. For this reason, I personally contacted the warring factions and held a dialogue with them, telling them to refrain from conspicuous behavior and to leave us alone.

That’s when I discovered what was going on. There were other people claiming to be part of the “open war” group who had been in contact with Naina and her group for several years. It’s funny to call them “official”, but they were different from the war mongers with whom I had negotiated. I don’t know what their purpose is.”
