232 Demons And The Founding Of The Nation Part 3
232 Demons And The Founding Of The Nation Part 3
"Something too optimistic, for the calculation of raccoons I don't take, I don't feel right?
"Well, actually, that's not a mistake. Or you're right. But it is also something that cannot be ignored. At least we'll have room for discussion, I suppose?
Ioli shrugging her shoulders saying that, but she seemed actually quite confident.
In the first place, Iori is a winner.
Not to mention winning or anything like that to this extent.
"... I guess. Earlier, they said they'd cut me off if it wasn't in the country's interest, but the truth is, I can't do that. It's not about profit, it's about disadvantage."
"Cutting Omei off would be detrimental to Radius, is it? But you call yourself the Demon King, even though it's only temporary, right? Instead of cutting off the Demon King, isn't that profitable? I also heard that the resurrected demon king attacked the king's capital there and halved it."
"Oh, I was in a hurry to be honest, and I can't deny the possibility... because they owe me. At least that's what they seem to think, and objectively speaking, that's not a mistake either. Looks like we went to the demon king alone thinking about them."
"Uh... well, it sure looks that way, too."
Depending on the way you look at it, you may have cut off your foot, but even if you did, it would be affirmed, beyond defeating the Demon King.
There is no reason to be evacuated.
I don't know how it actually happened, because it just doesn't tell me.
"Well that's not a mistake on one side either... that's why at least they have to listen to one thing I say when I'm on the table. If you say you disagree with my founding, I'll read it myself, as I said I did in favor of your founding."
"It's a belly black one...... are you willing to use your friends?
"There's no such thing as this, is there? Or you won't be able to build a country without being able to do this.... Besides, there's a profit over there. It's good for both sides, so there's nothing wrong with that, is there?
"Well, it's not Stina who judges that, is it?"
Nevertheless, it would be cute to that extent.
Or so it seems, for a reason, but in the end, that's an excuse.
Although I am saying Gudagda, in short, I am only saying farther away that they would have cooperated with us.
Anyway, if you say that directly, if you're going to go this far, I don't have anything special to say about Stina.
"Hmmm...... well for now, I know you think it's possible to the extent that it can be called a win. But I still can't solve it."
"What?
"It's about trying to make a country that fast. The Gustav thing may indeed have been at the right time, but still, the acuteness is a glimpse. How did we end up talking about creating a country?
"Yeah? If it's about the reason, I told you earlier, right?
"It's a chicken. What Omei just said was, how could Gustav's going to Radius mean acknowledging that the Demons would make their country? It doesn't explain why you tried to build a fundamental country... and the story of Gustav in the first place is also pre-built, right?
There was a moment.
There's been a while... it's a bitter laugh coming back.
"... that easy to understand, me?
To the words, Stina shrugged her shoulders.
After all, he meant.
"There's that, too, and I think the array was quite forceful in the first place."
"Oh, I knew it... I thought maybe I could. But it's not a complete lie for once, is it? That's a possibility, indeed."
"I don't deny there is, and that's why you said half right. But I think it's too much. Unless Gustav's name is known all over the world."
"Oh, yeah."
Now Ioli shrugs her shoulders and deepens her bitterness.
Though it may be self-derision that came to mind in its mouth.
"But well, I honestly don't care about that one. I don't know why from the start. It just has the purpose of making us recognize the founding of the country from the beginning, because we're just trying to figure out how that's possible. So there's only one thing Stina hears after all."
"I don't know why I wanted to build a country."
"That's the thing. Come on, just throw up. You must be sure Stina will get involved anyway. Why didn't you tell Stina in the first place? I'm not ashamed to tell you why, so you don't have to tell me, do you?
"I'm still packing a lot, so I was wondering if I could do that after a paragraph... okay"
With that said, Ioli exhaled one sigh.
Then I'll tell you why.
"I wanted to make a country here so that the next time a demon king could appear, In case it sucks, so that if you have to, you can fight it. And then, to eliminate the demonic discrimination as much as possible."
"... Regardless of the former, I don't know what the latter means. Wouldn't it just get extra bad if you tried to make a country?
"There is certainly that possibility, but either way there will never be any more discrimination as it is now. It's not reciprocal. Discrimination against demons is fuelled by the state in the first place, and we need the state to interact with it. What's the matter? We need to build a nation."
"Hmmm...... well, I agree with that opinion, where hundreds of steps were conceded and founding was recognized, isn't it still impossible to eliminate discrimination?
The Demons are not discriminated against for any reason.
In the first place, those who had reason to be scorned gathered together, and the settlements that were made were the foundations of those who were called the Demons.
What has gotten worse so far is mainly as a result of Veritas and others burning their surroundings, but where they have taken away all the worse parts, there will surely be no more discrimination.
Above all, the fact remains that it was discriminated against once, and today's generation accepts it as a matter of course.
Removing all the common sense that would be unconsciously stained would be near impossible, unless it was something like that.
"That's why I told you. As much as possible. I hope they don't discriminate against me one by one... blah blah blah blah, I don't think it's okay to stay discriminated against itself. I don't know what else to do. But at the very least, I want to do something about the situation because I'm a demon and it's normal to discriminate, and I don't care what I do."
"... why are you trying to get there? Isn't Omei just being here? There's got to be a step-in-law and need to do that."
"It doesn't have to be a mistake, but I'm here. And it's been over ten years, hasn't it? So I'm not so ruthless, too, am I?
"I didn't say that."
"... in the end, it's just self-satisfaction. I want to do that because I don't like it. The point is, that's all."
Stina exhaled as she shrugged her shoulders and laughed like she mocked herself.
Even as I say that, I can tell Stina that she really wants to.
And I also somehow guessed why I didn't try to tell Stina.
I mean, I guess it's because I understand it's self-satisfying.
That's what I thought, you can't swing Stina for it.
It would be the same thing eventually.
So Stina exhaled her sigh again.
... I guess this is what some fool would do, because I somehow thought so.
"... I know what you want to do, and then why don't you just like it?
"... okay?
"You have no reason to disagree, do you? It's the same with Stina that you don't like. Above all, there's no way Stina can go against what your stepfather said."
"... so stop calling me that."
Stina grins with a tickle at Iori, who looks seriously disgusted.
Well, Stina is closer to Aeoli than Aina.
I don't even know how that feels... or I know, so I'm doing it.
"I was first told the punishment was at least five years, so hey. Stina will put up with you, too, so you should put up with your father-in-law. Anyway... you can't stop the next demon king either way, can you? I do need to be prepared for that. If the same thing happens badly, this time the Demons are going to be uprooted."
"Oh. What the Demon King had left everywhere to resurrect, we left nothing behind and broke it. Well, it seems like even if I didn't break it, it wouldn't work anymore... but that's why it's no surprise when the next Demon King is born somewhere."
"Right."
Demon kings are made by the world.
It is a landmark for what has been determined to be potentially harmful to the world, and the difference to measure its extent.
Therefore, the Demon King does not arise, but becomes an existing being.
The world holds the power of appointment, and it is not something that can be rejected.
Until now, someone else has never been a demon king because there was a previous demon king.
Because I had multiple means of resurrection at my disposal, so death never came entirely.
But we were resurrected a year and a little while ago. It had been defeated without our knowledge, and the resurrection means said that Iori destroyed them all.
Now death has been fully confirmed, and the right to appoint a demon king has returned to the hands of the world.
Whenever it is exercised, no wonder.
Of course, there are some things that might not be exercised.
"Maybe next time, we'll get around an outgoing soma."
"Stop it. It hasn't been stylish in many ways."
"... right"
The information that it was Soma who defeated the previous Demon King is grasping.
There's no question about that, and there's no wonder Soma could do it.
But that means that Soma has power over the Demon King.
The possibility of the world showing a sense of crisis there cannot be denied, to be honest.
"Assuming, seriously, that Soma has become the Demon King, the Demons would be most welcome"
"I guess."
The Demon Clan is a sign of deference to power.
If it's soma, we should complain.
Nevertheless, it is not decided that the Demon King is the Lord of the Demon Nation, and the previous Demon King was leading the Demon Nation, simply because it was in the interest of the previous Demon King.
But whoever else becomes the Demon King is likely to end up like that.
The Demon King is a sign that he has been recognized as dangerous to the world.
If people know that, can they leave it alone?
What's not possible is that you can tell by thinking about witches and such.
But the Demons are all about power, and many don't care about that.
Those who actively support it won't have much left because many of them were former Demon Kings, but it doesn't make a difference that Demon Kings would be welcome here if they came.
"But if the country was made then... well, it would be somewhat better"
"This is a deep-rooted problem, just like discrimination."
The Demons absolutely see power in the first place because there are no other stops.
Because there is nothing that supports me, I can only rely on my strength.
So as long as the country can, it's supposed to ease.
It would also be unlikely that, as a result of showing deference to the Demon King, alignment of power and numbers, and the addition of resentment there, a fight would be fought against humanity.
"Again, I'm very optimistic."
"It is, but it's definitely better than not doing it. Besides, as long as we have time, we'll figure it out."
"In order to do that, it's a question of whether statehood can be recognized first."
In the end, I come back to this problem.
Although naturally, it is a story derived from this problem.
"Oh, so for that, I'm going to go to Radius soon"
"... are you insane?
It's a situation where you can't complain even if they sneak up on you, even though you have a lot to lose.
Or it would be a big deal if other countries knew about it, such as the coming of people who are seen as demonic kings, and it is more natural to be terminated for that matter.
Besides, as I said earlier, Radius has an unpleasant track record of actually attacking the Demon King alone.
I just feel like I'm going to be ruined.
"Don't worry. I'm gonna go see him in private."
"That's why I don't think it's extra...... Going is the king's capital, right? Aren't there spies from other countries or something? It's like we're sneaking in."
"Even so, we're supposed to be pretty good, aren't we? Unlike other countries, around not going to make it disposable, it's even more daunting. Besides, the only reason we're sneaking in is because you're blinded. I don't think the others are sneaking in, do they? He seems very concerned about the King's defense right now."
"I hope so..."
No, it's not really good, but I know it doesn't make sense to say it.
And it must be the most efficient way to do it.
"There's a chance you don't know about Soma, so you should tell her. If you can, in person."
"I know it's necessary, and the best part isn't wrong... but you're going to go easy on me a lot"
"Thanks to your information, the former Demon Kings have been wiped out. If your hindsight worries are stopped, it will be easier. And then, to be honest, I'm a little excited. I've been here for over ten years. Well basically it's a hassle, so I'm not the type to want to go outside... Neat, if you can, because even if you're in the castle, they'll just let you work. Then it's still better to go outside."
"That's why it's like shit......"
"And if you're going to make a country, I don't think you should only get reports, but you should also see things in your own eyes."
Though I wondered what was wrong with you when you mentioned something like shit, he's also thinking about something decent for once.
Staring seriously at her face like that, Stina tilted her neck.
"Hmm? What's wrong?
"No, if you think about it, creating a country naturally means Omei will be king, right? I was going to say it was a hassle, but I was a little wondering if you were willing to do it for me."
"That would motivate you, too. 'Cause building a country and becoming king means you can have a lot of people. Then it means you can assign jobs for that, and it's definitely easier than it is now. Think about it later, there's no such thing as hard work."
Stina sighed out for what ended up being a fucking reason.
But that was all I could do, because I didn't think it would work out so well.
If you mouth that though, you may lose your willingness to have corners.
Then it would be a good idea to keep quiet here.
But there was only one thing that bothered me.
"By the way, did you recover some strength?
"... about what?
"I don't have to hide anything, but I know Omei has been skipping because he went to Yugdrasil to restore his strength. Well, I guess he even really skipped it at last. Then you could have checked the paperwork."
"No, while you're doing something, you're going to lose your efficiency... I mean, how did you know?
"Well... I don't know what the reason is because I was possessed by demons, because I hung on death, or because of soma, but the senses are sharper than they used to be, right? If we concentrate, we'll know about what's going on in this castle."
Although I'm not sure that the area around Yugdrasil is very powerful.
But you won't have to be honest with me about that.
"... by the way, did that tell anyone?
"You mean Stina? You mean Omei? Stina doesn't even know who she is yet, so I didn't tell her, and Omei didn't tell anyone."
"... right"
Around saying that and exhaling relief, I guess that's something I didn't want to say if I could.
But there Stina shrugged her shoulder small, because she didn't tell anyone, but she didn't tell anyone she didn't notice.
I imagined the scene and loosened my mouth just a little bit, wondering what I would look like if I found out that everyone was somehow guessing.
"I hope so...... what's wrong?
"No, it's nothing, so don't worry. So, more than that, what about power?
Where it was to create a country, in the end, the Demons still remain focused on power.
Now it is nominally supposed that Ioli inherited the name of the Demon King, but that is allowed because we all know it is nominal.
Because they think it has nothing to do with them.
That's actually what's happening so far, but of course not if it comes to creating a country.
Even those unrelated to the former Demon Kings would predict some rebellion if they declared that they were going to stand up in earnest.
We still need to show strength to calm it down.
Iori, however, has heard that he was to use most of his powers in defeating the former Demon King.
Then, more than a decade later, he said he was still not recovering.
Still, it would be enough to shut him up, but if he can obey, he needs unquestioned power.
That's like Soma.
And Ioli let him shrug his shoulders with a confident and willing face.
I'll take care of it.
"... if you say so much, I'll just leave it to you this way"
Sometimes I say it's a hassle and I actually run away from it, but I can still rely on it when it's a hassle.
Being a totally troubled stepfather, Stina exhaled a bitter sigh of laughter as she looked in front of her.
