The same afternoon, Jin promised to do everything he could for Zion.

Jin was talking to Zion and the others again.

"I'm sorry, I really need to ask you something.

"Yes, what is it?

After the Persica juice had restored his magical power and he had eaten lunch, Zion seemed to have regained a lot of his energy.

"I want to talk about the magic used by the demon tribe.

"What about the magic used by the demons?　There are many things that are kept secret at ......."

Jin could understand that. It's a fool's errand to reveal all his secrets.

"No, just answer me to the best of your knowledge. I know about gravity magic, explosion magic, transfer magic, and slavery magic.

"Oh, that!"

It was Lucas, not Theon, who raised his voice.

"That's the best-kept secret!　How did you know?

Lucas, don't be rude. Jin-sama, I'm sorry.

Sion quieted the excited Lucas and apologized to Jin.

"No, it's okay. The reason I know this is because a demon I met was using it.

"......After all, ......."

Zion nodded in agreement.

"Hm?　What is still what?

"Uh, yes, there is a saying that any hint, no matter how trivial, should not be given to the Magecraft Meister.

In short, it seems that he was concerned about the analytical and application skills of the Magecraft Meister.

"If there is the slightest chance, the whole picture will be revealed, and that is the Magecraft Meister.

I don't think "a slight chance" is a bit exaggerated, but looking at Jin now, I think he is not wrong.

"Well, I wouldn't go that far..."

Jin scratched his head.

"I'm ...... not sure about that," he said, "but those magics are limited to certain clans. I can't use ...... Lucas either."

"Miss!　Nothing there!"

"No, all I have to do now is to gain your trust. I will tell you what I need to tell you.

I won't talk about the total number of demons, because it doesn't directly relate to Jin now, but I will talk about magic.

Only Zion knows what the criteria are, but that was enough for Jin.

"So ...... is the reward?"

"Yes.

Jin, too, has no intention of being taken advantage of. He wanted something in return.

"If you're willing to ...... give me and about ten other slaves ........."

"Rejected."

Jin cut him off with a single word.

"I don't need that kind of trouble. I mean, is there such a practice among you ......?"

There is no slavery in the world today. I don't know about the underworld, but at least that's the way it's supposed to be publicly. This is partly because the population has decreased too much.

They wanted labor as servants rather than slaves. Not only that. Slaves cannot run the economy.

In other words, the economy revolves around the paid servants who use the money to buy various things.

In a word, <>, this is the state of <>. If money is hoarded and held as it is, the economy will not be vibrant in the slightest.

It seems that the rulers of this world understood that much.

"So, then, what about demon materials and ......?"

"Yes, that way.

Jin wants to get some rare materials. But Reiko looks reluctant.

"Father, we can get the materials for you. You might want to ask for something else.

Lukas glares at Reiko, but Reiko looks cool.

"So, let's go to ........."

"Do you have any secret magic or artifacts of your own?"

"Oh, artifacts (artifacts)?

"Oh, so there are!　What kind of artifacts?　Can you tell me as much as you can?

"Yes,...... and ......."

Zion thought for a moment and then spoke slowly.

"There is a live-action machine called ....... It is a magical tool that transfers landscapes and portraits onto paper."

(Is it a ...... photo machine?)

If so, it is something that Jin has not been able to create yet.

"The other one is ...... ah, you know, a magical device that tells the time."

(Clock!　I couldn't think of a ...... clock.)

"And then there's a grimoire that magnifies small objects."

(A microscope?　(A microscope? Well, that would be helpful.)

Zion looked into Jin's face, who was listening while nodding silently.

"You know, ......?"

"Hmm?　Yeah, that's a good idea. You can't show me weapons or weapons?

Jin asks just in case. Apparently, they don't want to show military or similar information. That's understandable.

Um, yes.

"Well, okay. Just one or two more things to think about. That'll do for now.

"What?　Is that okay?

"Yeah, sure."

Actually, he's not just a good-natured guy.

The topography of the village of Kaina is relatively close to the Pazdekst isthmus. This means that if there is an invasion of the demon tribe, there is a possibility that they will be the first to be attacked, and Jin cannot overlook such a situation.

Of course, after this, we will be increasing our surveillance and security in the northern part of the village of Kaina.

"Oh, thank you!"

Zion thanks the others with his head almost scraped on the floor. It's almost like he's getting down on his knees.

"Well, it's okay. I'm expecting something in return.

Jin stops Zion from getting down on his knees with such a line.

* * * * * *

"Now then, let's talk about the specifics.

Jin glanced at Zion.

"How are you feeling?　Are you ready to continue the conversation?

"Yes, yes!　I'm fine. I'm fine.

Xion waved his hands in the air and said, "I'm feeling much better now. Seeing this, Jin decided to continue.

"Stop the extremists, huh? Do you have any concrete ideas?

"Yes, in the opinion of the Chief ...... grandfather.

Zion began.

If we want to stop the extremists, we should destroy their reasons.

The reason is, at the end of the day, the food problem.

The first step is to secure food for the time being and then find a continuous source.

If you can feed yourself, that is even better.

"......, my grandfather used to say."

"I understand. But is that enough?"

Sir?

Yeah, I'd say they're radicals. Will they stop messing with mankind?　Lardus, the demon tribe, was just trying to have fun, and people have died because of him. Marcosius almost caused the death of a leading figure in his country.

Hearing Jin's words, Zion's small body shrank even more.

"Well, that's ......"

"I'm not the one who was harmed. It was the Kingdom of Klein and the Shoro Kingdom. Yeah, maybe the Kingdom of Cerroa has suffered some damage as well.

Jin explained to Zion that if they were seen as such a country, <> would not be enough.

"If we think about food, it would be best to buy it from the Kingdom of Klein."

"......"

At this point Jin had an idea in his mind, but he thought it was too early to say it out loud.

"Oh, one last thing. What position do you occupy in this matter among the demon clans?"

"The young lady is the granddaughter of the chief of the largest clan among the moderates, <>!"

Lucas, who had been silent until now, shouted loudly.

"You!　You didn't take a cheap deal without any real ability, did you?"

"Lucas, you're being rude!"

"No, miss. No, miss. Let me tell you something. ...... you, you're going to fight me!　If you beat me, I'll give you a chance to prove yourself!"
