Editing Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha:Volume 9 Chapter 2 (section)

==Part 4==

Per the request of the Elders, Mio and Basara spoke about their past. Yuki Nonaka, stood beside Basara, listening to their story. About how Basara lived after being driven out of the Village. How Mio grew up as a human and being loved by her parents.
The Elders simply nodded while they listened. They didn’t say anything, but their eyes were sharp, and they were analyzing each and every word to make sure there were no holes in their stories.
Yuki already knew all this. Not only her, but Kurumi, and Zest and Maria as well. After all, they were a big family living together in the same house. Just because the problem at the Demon World was solved for now, didn’t mean that they wouldn’t have to face any challenges in the future. So, in order to deepen their bonds and get to know each other better, the girls have all told each other about their story and their background. And that indeed gave birth to the strong bond that they all shared.
“And so, last summer, my father told me that he was getting remarried and that was when I met Mio and Maria for the first time.”
They finally got to the part where they met. From here on out, they will have to be careful on what information they disclose. After all, there were some things that were best kept away from the Elders. But Mio and Basara will never mix in a lie. They will simply omit some parts of their story.
Basara did not want to betray the Village. While it is true that they did ostracize him, and it is true that many in the Village do hate him, for Basara, the Village was still the home that he grew up in. And it was still very dear to him.
But they did have to cover their tracks. Since the moment they were summoned by the Village, Basara and the others got together to discuss what they will omit from their stories. What they decided not to disclose was Basara and Takigawa’s various dealings, the Master-Servant contract between Basara and the girls, and about the identity regarding Basara’s mother.
Yuki and Kurumi also made sure to not cover these topics whenever they made their routine reports to the Village. After all, there will be suspicion placed on them if their reports and the stories here didn’t match up.
“…And that is a summary of all the things that occured.”
Basara finished by talking about the peace treaty between the Moderate Faction and Current Demon Lord Faction in the Demon World. He also told them that Kurumi and Yuki took part in the fight as members of the Moderate Faction.
But this was something the Nonaka sisters have already informed the Elders about. They reasoned that taking part in the fight in the Demon World, will end the conflict there and will prevent demons from coming to the Human World to try and hunt down Mio. They made sure to emphasize that they fought in the battle to represent the Hero Tribe and to ensure that the Human World was kept away from danger. And they also made included that Mio has better control of the powers she inherited from Wilbert and even suggested that, while they wouldn’t go as far as to suggest that she be removed from the watchlist, but have Kurumi and Yuki continue to observe her.
“…. I see.”
Kumano nodded in understanding.
“I think I have a clearer picture of your situation now. And if the two factions in the demon world did indeed sort out their quarrell, it would explain why they sent their special envoy here.”
Atsuta also chimed in.
“If what you say is true and they are indeed moving towards peace, that would be a historic change for the Demon World.”
While stroking his impressive beard, Fuji looked Basara in the eye.
“So then Basara… how would you assess your involvement in the two factions finding peace?”
