Afterwards, a contract was written.
Let's take a moment to summarize it.
The full picture.
The Miko was safe thanks to Rudeus.
The Milis religious community was held responsible for the incident.
The church shouldered the responsibility, and proclaimed that they would fully cooperate with Dragon God Orsted and Rudeus Greyrat, and, moreover, support them.
There was no formal decision regarding the treatment of the demon race, that was left as a legal question to be settled at a later time.
It was that kind of thing.
The two principal offenders, the Pope and the Cardinal, naturally signed the contract.
The cold sweat running down the Cardinal's forehead was really cute.
The Miko was returned in exchange for the contract.
As for the parties responsible, it was decided that a trial would be held at a later date in order to have them take full responsibility for this incident.
I don't know how that will turn out, the Cardinal might flee before receiving his sentence.
Well, tracking people down is part of my job description.
If they're not one of Hitogami's lackeys, then they're just a minor nuisance.
Even if the Cardinal was taken out of the picture, the Expulsion Faction wouldn't disappear.
For the time being, everything has worked out.
The incident has been resolved.
