East Fortress Base Co sword hand, a stomach for violence, a reckless heart After those three, the ood liver for alcohol”
The Female Paladin: “Ahahahaha! Let’s have another!”
East Fortress Base Commander: (small voice) “Hey, umm”
The Chief Maid: (small voice) “Yes?”
East Fortress Base Commander: (small voice) “Like before, please”
The Chief Maid: (sht The Fe too hard to notice”
East Fortress Base Commander: (small voice) “Yeah”
The Chief Maid: (small voice) “But if you passed her on to the Hero, I’m sure you could make your escape”
The Female Paladin: “Base Commander! What do the streets of the City of the Gate look like?”
East Fortress Base Commander: “The City of the Gate?”
The Feht I’d like to know” Smiles
East Fortress Base Commander: “Let’s see Lately, the nureatly At first it wasmerchants but recently, the people who fled have started to corants, human merchants too”
The Fee hole in the gate? I always thought they weren’t distributing exit permits anywhere… Ahh, this is delicious! This kushi+yaki!”
East Fortress Base Commander: “You knohatas there’s a chance for business, they’ll definitely go”
The Female Paladin: “Hehehehe, secret business transactions?”
East Fortress Base Commander: “…That may be so”
The Female Paladin: “Hm?”
East Fortress Base Commander: “So that’s the Hero?”
The Fe?”
East Fortress Base Coht, even when he’s drinking, is someone I can tell is incredibly powerful, but to think that he’s actually the Hero!”
The Fe He can shoot laser bea of his sword”
East Fortress Base Coend to me”
The Fereat master”
East Fortress Base Commander: “I see…”
The Female Paladin: “Hm?”
East Fortress Base Commander: “Paladin”
East Fortress Base Coaze whenever you look at the Hero!”
The Female Paladin: “What? That’s not— That’s probably true”
East Fortress Base Couess you’re all Demons then”
The Female Paladin: “Why would you say that?”
East Fortress Base Coht came into the City and made a proclamation to all the inhabitants He said, ‘All those Humans who despise Demons, come! In their place, I will be beaten by you’ ‘All those Deainst Huainst me’”
The Female Paladin: “…I see”
East Fortress Base Co on?”
The Female Paladin: “No, the world above is also very chaotic The Deainst the Tripartite Union Though we all want peace, we live in an age where we must all bear arms”
East Fortress Base Co which we can help It’s because we live in such chaotic times Those who do not bear arms are just stupid Those who try not to inconvenience the ene unprepared and unarmed aren’t kind, they are merely sick in the head”
The Female Paladin: “—That’s true”
East Fortress Base Coht either, right? This is a very conflicting tireat and noble were to come, he could probably take the weapons frohout the world But that’s like how athehty corner Can we really call that peace?”
The Female Paladin: “…”
East Fortress Base Commander: “Well, I think there’s a better way to do this”
The Female Paladin: “You think it’s possible?”
East Fortress Base Commander: “To co-exist with Demons?”
The Female Paladin: “Yeah… I want to believe it, but I really can’t”
East Fortress Base Commander: “I think it’s possible”
The Female Paladin: “Do you? Really?!”
East Fortress Base Co hole where there was the gate It’s currently still a trickle, but it’s already beco impossible to stem the tide We have to co-exist We absolutely need to co-exist If you looked at the City of the Gate, you would immediately understand Yeah, we can definitely co-exist Demons and Humans aren’t that different, after all”
The Female Paladin: “Really… Well, that’s just the drea”
The Mage: “…The problem is the threshold of acceptable losses”
East Fortress Base Commander: “Yeah”
The Female Paladin: “Really?”
East Fortress Base Couarantee that The problem is, in order to achieve this, how much blood needs to be shed? We will co-exist eventually, but whether that takes five years, ten years, a hundred years… I don’t know The amount of blood that will be lost could be many times more than what has already been spilt so far There may even be a chance that the all the blood of all the Demons and Humans needs to be sacrificed We can co-exist, but whether Demons or Humans can remain in existence is a different problem”
The Female Paladin: “Is that so…”
East Fortress Base Commander: “It may be narrow, but that’s a mercenary’s point of view Tomorrow may come but how much blood will be spilt today?”
The Mage: “For the sake of time…”
The Fee…”
The Mage: “Can you hear their pleas?”

The Hero: “Yeah You told o, but Deht?”
The De: “I don’t know”
The Hero: “Hey, hey, are you or aren’t you sure?”
The Dein with, the definition of a tribe was originally a hazy concept It wasn’t based on race or anything It was really just a naroup of youngsters got together and decided they were a tribe, then they would be a tribe — Of course, if you wanted to create a tribe, then you would have to leave the tribe you were originally in De the tribe you were in was a very courageous thing to do But if you had the courage, anyone could do it”
The Hero: “And so the various races will be at this ?”
The De: “They should”
The Hero: “That sounds like a very big ”
The Deht races will take part”
The Hero: “Really?”
The De: “Yeah I said this earlier, but there are a lot of different De, but of the intelligent De to a whole slew of different tribes The re, the De represents the interests of those 40 That’s the idea anyway”
The Hero: “So that’s how it is”
The Hero: “Then, who comes up with the Conference topic?”
The De The other representatives are allowed to talk freely, but the Deoes first”
The Hero: “That sounds like a Human conference”
The De: &
