However, the reason why 001 and 13 survived among the discarded negative dolls could not be determined.
It also remains unclear what they intended to do with the four people, including Donatia, after abducting them.

Thus, although there are still some mysteries, the case involving the "negative dolls" has been settled.
On September 12, a whole month had already passed since I came to the territory of the demon tribe.
It was time to move on.

The crisis of war had been averted and the food problem of the demon tribe had been solved.
The threat of the Negador, who hated mankind and the demons and wanted to exterminate them, was also eliminated.
He was able to establish friendly relations with most of the clans.

This was a satisfactory result for Jin.
However, there is one person who is not satisfied yet.
"......Alchel......"

It was Belial who could not find his sister. He is worried about his younger sister.
"Perhaps she is still on the Laurentian continent."
When Jin made a guess, Belialus nodded his head emphatically.

"......Maybe you're right."
"I'm going back to the Laurentian continent soon. I'll keep you in mind when I do. Archelle is strong in her own way, isn't she? I'm sure he'll be fine."
But Belial shook his head weakly.

"Looking at Jin-dono, I wondered what it means to be strong. ......"
With this exchange, Jin and the others returned to the residence of the
Of course, they were accompanied by Donaisia, who had come to her senses, and the three demons who had been chasing her.

"Oh, Doneitia!"
Bafrosque's joy was palpable. After all, there were only 20 members left in the clan.
"Excuse me, clan leader, I'm ......."

Donaisia explained the situation. Bafrosque listened in silence, then patted Donaisia on the shoulder as she crouched down and said, "Don't worry about it.
"I think we all have to change our way of thinking. I'm the same way. So don't worry about it.
"Clan leader ......?"

"We have to think about the future. Jin-dono has offered to help us, but..."
Donaisia rolled her eyes at the clan leader's attitude.
Donaisia was more concerned about the clan leader's attitude, because Bafrosque had said something that seemed to indicate that he was concerned about the clansmen.

"This has made me think a little bit," he said. I don't want to be enemies with the Magecraft Meister, regardless of how he thinks about people.
Bafrosk did not say that he owed them a great debt.
Fortunately or unfortunately, the population of the militants has decreased, so there are no more food problems for the militant camp for the time being.

At any rate, the number of militants has been reduced from about 400 to about 270.
The current stockpile should be enough for the end of the year. And by that time, the harvest of buckwheat should be completed.

"...... So, is the division of labor between agriculture, farming, hunting, fishing, and mining all in order?"
"No objections."
"Yes, that's fine."

That's fine.
I have no problem with that.
Three days later, the memorable first meeting of all the clans was held.

It was held in the neutralist, <
The all-clans meeting is a meeting of representatives from all clans, moderate, neutral, and radical. It was chaired by
In this meeting, the roles of each clan were decided. This meeting was realized because all the clans recognized that they were one community of destiny.

Jin, who was attending the meeting as an observer, was lost in emotion on Horai Island.
(If he were a human of the earth, he would not have changed his attitude so frankly. ...... Is it because he is aware of the fact that he is a demon tribe, or because his population is small?)

I don't have any idea about that. But the important thing is the result.
(At least, the fact that they no longer have the will to invade the human race is in line with the original purpose.)
"There was a village called Kaina."

The familiar word wakes Jin from his reverie.
"There, all the villagers formed a community."
The one who is speaking now is, to his surprise, Zion.

"The fields are managed by the whole village. The harvest was distributed equally ...... no, fairly."
What is the difference between equality and fairness? Zion answered in the affirmative.
Equality is just dividing 20 people into 20 equal parts. But that means you get the same whether you work or not, right? That's not good enough."

Zion was a dedicated student. And it showed.
"Fairness is based on the amount of work you've done and the composition of your family. The amount of money to be distributed is adjusted according to such factors. And it is the head's role to make sure that there is no dissatisfaction.
The explanation was reasonably easy to understand, despite the wording.

The attendees seemed to be interested in what he was saying, and more than anything else, he was able to spark a sense of rivalry in a positive way, as if to say, "If humans can do it, why can't we do it?
Jin was further surprised by something.
"......The agricultural golem that Jin-dono made for us..."

Jin wondered. The man speaking was Bardius, the clan leader of Morira, Zion's grandfather.
"I would like to jointly manage it as the property of the entire demon tribe.
A stir spread through the room. That is true. Golems are property. Especially one created by Jin, it is comparable to an ancient relic (artifact).

"The reason is simple. I want to prevent corruption.
Baldius stopped the murmurs of those in attendance with a hand and continued.
The golem is indeed a wonderful thing. We can reap the harvest without doing anything. But <

Some of the demons nodded, as if they understood what he meant.
"What is gained without work is treated lightly. And if you lose the will to work, the corruption begins.
Bardius explained in a very persuasive manner.

After 15 minutes of long speeches, the participants unanimously accepted Bardius' opinion.
(Great ...... man of the earth, perhaps even mankind of this world would not think of such a thing.)
Humans and demons. Biologically they are the same species, but their mentality seems to be different.

Zion said that he would follow the example of the village of Kaina, but Jin wanted to make Bardius' words be heard by the rulers of each country.
Three representatives each from the moderate, neutral, and radical factions will be appointed, making a total of nine members in the council. It was even decided that the chairman would be a member of the
This was also a proposal from Zion. He had read it in a book in Nido Castle.

(Old man, what kind of books do you make? ......)
Jin was both impressed and a little bit stunned.
Obviously, this system is not adopted in other countries in this world. No, perhaps that is why the demon tribe, who has a sense of rivalry against the human race, adopted it.

"Then, do you have any objection that from the next time, we will have a discussion to consider our future in such a way?
A murmur of "no objection" echoes through the room. There seems to be no objection.
Jin, an observer, wonders if we should learn from their solidarity in this regard.

"We don't expect to be able to erase our resentment and hatred toward humans anytime soon," said Jin, an observer. But we must be aware that we must not be so foolish as to make a fool of ourselves by starting a war without a second thought.
Surprisingly, such words came out of the mouth of the militant <
"But I don't think we will be able to make friends with the humans anytime soon," he said. I think we should start by making a pact with the Magecraft Meister, Jin-dono.

No objections.
"No objections."
Again, this was unanimously accepted. Jin is a little tickled.

He then asks Jin for a list of specialties, such as leather of magical beasts and magi crystals, as items to be exchanged for seasonings and rare foodstuffs.
It is decided to meet at least once a year to confirm the agreement.
I was surprised to hear that they asked me if they could borrow or give me a copy of a book that Zion had read.

Thus, an agreement was made between the demon tribe and Jin, although it was still very tentative.
