Volume 9 - A devil's sadness (5) - Clinging to the Past, Seeking Freedom
Keywords: Emperor/Cloud/Jade/Unlimited power/Victory/Buried/Gold mine/Long gone/Haunted/Warhorse (4) Every time I think about her, a flurry of emotions goes through my chest. Sadness, nostalgia, and pain. I could think back forever about whether I could have done something. "If only", right? But it isn't realistic. Instead, I lose myself in my memories. I didn't know her for too long, but she marked me. She was unlike everything I knew. She was cheerful, and had true, pure kindness. Read more
Volume 9 - A devil's sadness (6) - The Devil Senate
Keywords: Emperor/Cloud/Jade/Unlimited power/Victory/Buried/Gold mine/Long gone/Haunted/Warhorse (5) My goal is to change the law in a roundabout way that would help me. For that, I had to find an idea that not only fulfilled that objective but also solved a big enough problem for the devils that no one would notice the implications. [...] I adjust my tie. The time comes for me to enter the devil Senate. The Senate is presided over by the Jade devil, an old devil known to be impartial. I feel the curious gazes of the members of the Senate on me as soon as I enter. Read more
Volume 9 - A devil's sadness (7) - The Reform
-Our current system rates the merit of a devil based on their performance on a summon. While I will propose a few adjustments, it isn't the main problem this proposal tackles.Yes, this is for the second proposal, the one that is made to be rejected.-The main problem this tackles is supply.I take a small pause. It allows for my public to think a bit about the approaches that could be taken, without giving them enough time to get a solution nearly as good as my proposal.-If right now some devils are most likely to get more merits than others for the same work, we need to make sure merit is not judged by quantity, but quality. We need to avoid those devils good at their work being restricted in their achievements by supply issues. This is why I propose a supply coeffici

Volume 9 - A devil's sadness (8) - The Reform
Everything went pretty well. While the voting itself is anonymous, for security purposes, but the vetoing isn't. The goal of this is to have the senate regulate itself. Any abusive use of vetoes would have the senate turn against that person, making the use of vetoes for personal and unjustified matters harder. And so, if everyone felt justified to use their veto on the second proposal, no one used it on the first. I made sure it was well tied together. Their reputation guarantees their current positions, and as such no one would want to risk their own reputation for that. Once the Jade Devil made sure to listen to everyone's objections, it was time for the actual voting. -Good. According to procedure, the second proposa

Volume 9 - A devil's sadness (9) - 22 Days to Solve the Dragons' Problem
Keywords: Dragon/Rabbit/Torrent/Raze (1) After leaving the Senate, I went back to my usual activities.If the final review is in a month, it means I also have to do something during that month.-Mortal who dares summon me, what is your wish? Do you want power? Money? Immortality?Today, however, I had an unusual summon.-None of those. These, we already have.Around me are 9 dragons.They are lying down, to have their eyes at my height, but their presence is still as imposing. I feel as if I am at the bottom of a valley, surrounded by mountains of muscles.I stayed si

Volume 9 - A devil's sadness (10) - A Highest Level Emergency
Keywords: Dragon/Rabbit/Torrent/Raze (2) I throw a suspicious look at the 9 dragons around me, but they all seem serious. Rabbits are usually their prey, so at most, I'd have expected them to have hunted so many rabbits they were out of food, or something. But instead, the rabbits are the hunters? -So you're telling me that the only dragons still alive in this world are refugees in the capital? That's the only way for the menace of razing their capital city to constitute a threat to their species. -Exactly. Just to be sure... -What kind of rabbits are we talking about? Read more
Volume 9 - A devil's sadness (11) - Tomorrow
It is as I feared. They broke through the world's barrier without it coming to our notice. Once a new confinement solution is found, I guess most of the devils will be mobilized to solve this problem. At least, for now, I must find a way to contain the Torrent Rabbits in the Dragon world. Or, rather than I must find, the Dragons must find. I hope they're understanding of my current position, and will either revise their solution when I say it's impossible or leave me creative liberty. I look at the Dragons again. -So, what solution did you consider? According to the contract, I must be convinced of its viability within a year.Read more
Volume 9 - A devil's sadness (12) - She wished. And so, I came.
An adolescent girl was in her room. It looked very characteristic of two problems. It had a domineering feeling of youthful error. And at its source, an excessive parental love. Too much pink, too girly. She was used to it, but she would never let anyone else into this room, which could make the blindest man feel blinded. But she would never admit she regretted her decision. To her, it was half her life ago, but to her parents, it was only a moment ago. While she did not share their outlook, she understood that simple fact just from their habit of mentioning her younger self as if it was yesterday with anyone, with no care for h

Volume 9 - A devil's sadness (13) - Unexpected Kindness
It's tomorrow. I used up more energy than I expected so it took me almost 14 hours to recover. I said I was going to visit her, but to do so, I need to get a summon. By a human summoner, with that. I need to be in the right world after all. A few hours after waking up, I finally get a summon to answer. The waiting time was shorter than I expected. I answer it. My apparition could be way faster, but I would lose credibility and theatricality. So I slowly appear. Bit by bit. I come up through the circle, eyes closed. Read more
Volume 9 - A devil's sadness (14) - With A Smile
-The terms "anyone or anything" should have an exception, so you are not able to change the terms of the contract after signing it. It is after all possible to change it so long as both parties agree, and the wish that is fulfilled would allow you to be the only party whose will matters. I see. She thought. And: -Seems fine with me. She answered. -Wait for a while while I prepare the contract. The Devil said. She already expected it, so she was not surprised when he eventually took a contract out of thin air. Compared to his appearance or to the scale of her wish, it was nothing.Read more
