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

Do you want power? Money? Immortality?Today, however, I had an unusual summon.-None of those.

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?

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.
Give me a word I'll make a world 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
Give me a word I'll make a world 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.
Give me a word I'll make a world 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.
Give me a word I'll make a world Volume 9 - A devil's sadness (15) - The Final Review
That month passed in a flash. It is now time for me to head back to the Senate. I anticipated the final review a lot, but I forced myself to not be worried, for there was nothing I could do about it. The final review will definitely make me know how my proposal was turned into law. While there are procedures to ensure the fairness of the translation, such as appealing for the whole reviewing process to be redone, they are limited both in number and use. It wouldn't be good for a menaced Devil to delay the application of the laws forever under threat, after all. Above three times, it can only be used so long as the Devil who made the proposal convinces the majority of the Sen
