Vol 3 Chapter 1 (2/2)
The King of the Pale: “Huh? What are you saying? My lord It has already been decided Just what do you intend to do about that?”
The Fire Dragon Lord: “I said shut up!” Breathes fire
The Witch-Queen of the Banshees: “…?”
The King of the Pale: “Then I shall shut up So, what do you have to say?”
The Fire Dragon Lord: “I haven’t voted yet”
The Silver Tiger Lord: “What are you talking about? It’s already been decided!”
The King of the Pale: “That’s right So even if you support the present De”
The Fire Dragon Lord: “I didn’t say that We are one of the oldest and most ancient of the Tribes in the Deons Why do you initiate such proceedings without even consulting us first!”
The Silver Tiger Lord: “Because the result won’t change…”
The Fire Dragon Lord: “Shut up! I’htly! That is what I’ about!”
The Witch-Queen of the Banshees: “You could have just said that at the start”
The Chieftain of the Tattooed: “Indeed”
The King of the Pale: “Hmph Well Fine That’s a valid point as well Let’s hear what you’ve got to say But I’m certain whatever you have to say will not influence the result of this Kurultai”
The Fire Dragon Lord: “…”
The Queen of Fairies: “Please give us your final view”
The De: “…”
The Chieftain of the Tattooed: “Vote then”
The Fire Dragon Lord: “…”
The King of the Pale: “What are you keeping quiet for! Didn’t you tell us not to treat you lightly, but now you’re keeping all silent and not saying a single word This is a waste of time Give us your answer!”
The Silver Tiger Lord: “That’s right! You’re taking this whole Kurultai for a pack of fools with that attitude”
Door slams open
East Fortress Base Commander: “Hope I’m not late”
Aide-de-Camp pants
The De: “Eh?”
The Hero: “The Base Commander…? Why—”
The Fire Dragon Lord: “Then I will speak As the Khan of the Dragons, allow me to introduce to you, the newest Tribe to the Demon Race”
The King of the Pale: “Wh-what are you saying! At such a critical moment!”
The Silver Tiger Lord: “New Tribe?! I’ve never heard anything about this!”
The Witch-Queen of the Banshees: “You’d best explain yourself”
The Fire Dragon Lord: “Of course In that case, you’d best hear it from the horse’s mouth”
East Fortress Base Commander: “Ah, uhhh, what’s up Wait, no I mean Good day to all of you, I am the East Fortress Base Commander I am here to join the Kurultai as one of the Great Demon Tribes”
The De: “Join…?”
The King of the Pale: “What are you talking about! The Kurultai has always been lihest office of the entire world How could a completely unknown Demon like yourself even hope to join us!”
East Fortress Base Commander: “Uhh, actually, I’m a Human”
The King of the Pale slams the table
The Silver Tiger Lord: “Human?!”
The Cyclops: “Human…!”
The King of the Pale: “What is this about, Fire Dragon Lord!”
The Fire Dragon Lord: “What are you talking about? Just what is a Deround World can be called a Deround World Therefore, he’s a Demon It doesn’t matter if he’s also a Human”
The Silver Tiger Lord: “What kind of lousy reasoning is that!”
The Fire Dragon Lord: “Just where is it written in The Demon Annals that Humans are not Demons?”
The Witch-Queen of the Banshees: “…! Ahahahahaha!”
The Chieftain of the Tattooed: “What purpose do you have at this Kurultai!”
East Fortress Base Coet to that I would like to be a Khan”
The King of the Pale: “A Human as a Khan?!”
East Fortress Base Coht I represent the Tribe of the Gate, with 48,000 Tribesmen, I make my request to join this Kurultai”
The Silver Tiger Lord: “…”
The Baron of Steel: “Wh-what…”
The Queen of Fairies: “…Forty eight thousand?”
The Fire Dragon Lord: “That’s right This Kurultai is a conference for the De and other powerful Khans It was never decided that it was just for us eight Tribes Do you remember? The Autoenerations ago”
The Baron of Steel: “We won that, right”
The Cyclops: “That was… the result… of a war…”
The Fire Dragon Lord: “There doesn’t need to be a war Any Tribe with more than 40,000 tribes as he has the support of two other Khans”
The Queen of Fairies: “Forty thousand…?”
The Chieftain of the Tattooed: “Don’t be foolish, how can such a small race take part in the Kurultai?”
The King of the Pale: “That’s right! What kind of authority does he carry with so few tribesmen?!”
The Fire Dragon Lord: “This is not so I have decided! It is clearly written as a stipulation in The Demon Annals That’s all!”
Aide-de-Camp: “Allow me to explain this clearly Umm The stipulations were all written quite a tiht? So in other words, when this stipulation was created, forty thousand was a fairly large size for a Tribe”
The Chieftain of the Tattooed: “The times…”
The King of the Pale: “Who cares if it’s a stipulation! Forty thousand? What kind of fool would agree to that! How can we acknowledge the power of such a tiny Tribe?!”
The Fire Dragon Lord: “But stipulations are stipulations, and stipulations are absolute, aren’t they?”
The King of the Pale: “—!!!”
The Fire Dragon Lord: “How can you use some obscure stipulation to call this motion and then object to a different stipulation halfway through the conference That’s just unfair”
The Witch-Queen of the Banshees: “Ahahahahahaha! Stipulations! Stipulations! Stipulations are i of the Pale?”
The King of the Pale: “Agh! Agghhhh!”
The Silver Tiger Lord: “Who would support such a thing! A Tribe controlled by a Human!”
The King of the Pale: “That’s right! Who would!”
East Fortress Base Co on you, old man”
The Fire Dragon Lord: “I will stand behind him I just need one more name…”
The Witch-Queen of the Banshees: “Ahahahahahaha! This is funny, this is very funny I will stand by him I’m sure the Queen of Fairies would have done it anyway, but I will lend my support to this human”
Aide-de-Camp: “Here is the census for the entire 48,000 members ofCouncil of the City of the Gate With the addition of the official seals of the two Khans, all the necessary paperwork has been compiled”
The King of the Pale: “What if I object?”
The Fire Dragon Lord: “There are no stipulations for objections Once the paperwork has been filed, this guy here is the Khan of the Gate He ht to speak and vote”
The Witch-Queen of the Banshees: “Hahahaha! What now?”
