There Are Sins In This World That Can Never Be Forgiven

It had been a month since Team Tanaka had settled down in the horned tribe village. Tanaka had occupied a part of Murgais house.

Kufu. Kufufufu Youre pretty good, arent you? But yours truly wish to experience something more adventurous.

What the hell is this guy talking about?

Witnessing Tanaka, who was sleep-talking in seemingly great pleasure, Murgai was exasperated. As he had already finished his preparation to head out, Murgai promptly left Tanaka alone and departed the house. Today was an important day for the village, for they were going to replace the barrier.

As he stepped out of the house, the first one he encountered was Kaku-san. He was floating buoyantly in front of him. As a spirit, Kaku-san had no need to sleep. He was basically free while Tanaka was asleep.

Sup. Early as usual, arent we?

No, its him thats just too late.

These words had become their usual morning greeting these days. Suke-san, who was also floating in the air like Kaku-san, approached the two. As a magical creature, Suke-san also barely had any need to sleep at all. So he also had a lot of free time on his hands.

Morning is the time for image training, so its a rule not to wake him up.

..

As they severely lacked common sense, saying anything to them would be a fools errand. Aware of that, Murgai left without saying a word.

The place he was headed to was the plaza in the center of the village. As he made his way there, Murgai was lost in thought. For some reason, his mind refused to calm down. His steps naturally slowed down.

Eventually, Murgai stopped walking altogether. He let out a deep sigh and sat down.

Im fully aware of that! But this and that are separate matters!

Murgai had already ceased blindly hating humans. Through his contact with Team Tanaka, he learned that there were also lovable idiotic humans.

And he had heard many things from them. The western region that was suffering from poverty due to the long civil war. The Middle region where the storm of demon oppression was raging wildly. And then, the relatively safe eastern region, where to the north, the city of demons had been born.

The various knowledge had changed Murgai more than the Patriarch thought.

Although it was vexing, he did acknowledge his romantic rival, Baron Almond. The village becoming more affluent was undoubtedly the Barons achievement.

Barrier replacement is something that has to be done solely by the clan! Its fine to establish friendly relations with humans. I also understand that we owe the Baron. I have no problem cooperating with humans from now on. However, the barrier is the foundation of the safety of the clan. No one who isnt part of the clan should be allowed to be involved in it!

Murgai truly thought that getting along with humans was not a bad idea. However, he still couldnt accept it. There were certain things that couldnt be compromised. However, these feelings couldnt reach the patriarch, who was also his father.

It goes without saying that the barrier is the foundation of our safety. Exactly because its important that by doing it together, dont you think wed be able to strengthen our bonds? This could be said to be an expression of our determination to live alongside the human race, to the Baron whom we owe.

What will you do if he betrays us?

You know how much the Baron has helped us. Do you think he will betray us?

You think nothing about this possibility at all, dont you?!

The discussion remained at a standstill. In the end, it turned into nothing more than a bickering showdown between the father son pair.

In the end, as no consensus was reached, it was decided by majority vote that the work would be carried out with the Barons cooperation. However, the patriarch was in charge of the work. The patriarchs plan to make Murgai his successor and make it official had failed.
