As every country slowly began to recover from the chaos sparked by the mutant incident, Makoto found himself constantly summoned by the Empire's nobles and the Kingdom's lords, running himself ragged through endless rounds of formal greetings. Amid this whirlwind of obligations, he finally gave his answer to a long-standing a face-to-face meeting with none other than the Demon King. Invited to the demon capital-a land no hyuman had ever set foot in-Makoto was received with the personal hospitality of the Demon King himself. For a mere merchant, such treatment was nothing short of extraordinary¿ leaving Makoto utterly at a loss for how to handle it!?
After all the action of the previous volume, this one is almost entirely table-setting. The major factions in the war meet with Makoto and the Kuzunoha Company and formally acknowledge them as the most powerful neutral force in the world, and also the most unpredictable. What follows is a lot of political maneuvering and backroom meetings.
And that’s pretty much it.
If you aren’t deeply invested or haven’t read everything leading up to this, I wouldn’t bother. Honestly, it’s kind of boring. It’s all just meetings.
