Chapter Nine: An Audience with the Chieftain

Two days after we’d arrived in the village, a devil woman came to inform us that the chieftain had returned from his hunting trip.

“I see. Tell him to come here,” Celes instructed the woman.

“Yes, Miss Celes.”

I was taken aback by this command. I had been under the assumption that we would be going to his place, not the other way around. Devil society was all about strength, and as one of the demon king’s four lieutenants, it seemed that Celes was higher up the food chain than the village’s chieftain. But this actually worked in our favor, so I wasn’t about to start complaining. Why, you might ask? Well, for the past two days, I had been deep in discussion with the others—particularly Karen—over what items the devils could possibly need. And happily, we had finally hit upon an answer.

“There you are, Galbady.”

“It seems I have kept you waiting, Miss Celesdia,” the chieftain said on stepping into Celes’s living room. Going from appearances, he looked to be in his forties, and he had sharp, piercing eyes. Although he was slim, he had a well-defined build with visible muscle tone, and the scars that littered his body spoke of the many battles he had fought. He was apparently one of the strongest devils—second only to Celes, in fact—as well as an excellent advisor. He also happened to be the person who had signed the trade agreement with Ninoritch, and Karen told me they had conversed via letter on a number of previous occasions.

“I heard you were out hunting monsters,” Celes stated.

“Indeed I was. We engaged the frost wyvern that had appeared up in the western mountains. We should now have enough meat to last us for some time to come.” The chieftain paused, then turned to Karen. “So you are the mayor of Ninoritch, yes?” he asked, his gaze so piercing, she was momentarily taken aback.

She quickly managed to compose herself again. “Yes,” she said with a firm nod. “I’m Karen Sankareka, the mayor of Ninoritch. We’ve exchanged quite a lot of letters in the past, but it’s good to finally meet you in person, chieftain of the devils.”

“I am Galbady, chieftain of this village. My subordinate mentioned that you wished to speak with me. Is that correct?” he asked.

“Right to the point, I see. That’s a relief. Well then, Mr. Galbady, please take a seat,” Karen said, and the man sat down on the floor cushion opposite her and crossed his legs.

There were only four of us in the room—Celes, Mr. Galbady, Karen, and myself—and we all sat on the floor around a square, table-shaped contraption. As for everyone else, they were waiting in another room.

“Well? What could have possibly brought humes like yourselves all the way to our island—hm?” As he spoke, Mr. Galbady’s gaze lowered to the contraption that sat between us. Or to be exact, to the center of it. “Fire? Why do you have a fire in there? Are you
