Summary
Souma agrees to leave Van in exchange for reparations. Souma wants it so that the Principality of Amidonia can't attack them again. Jeanne then asks why Souma didn't sign the declaration. Souma presents his case like a story between two gods: one representing capitalism, the other socialism. The people caught in the middle suggested that they make rules so both sides don't go to war. Jeanne sees the similarities instantly but Souma can't express his ending. Instead he decides to forge a secret alliance with the empire. The Gran Chaos Empire protects the west while the Elfrieden Kingdom protects the east, more specifically the Union of Eastern Nations. Souma hopes to gain trust with the empire with this alliance and gives a Jewel broadcast reciever to Jeanne to give to Maria Euphoria. Jeanne likes this idea and asks for diplomatic envoys.

The conversation continues until the middle of the night. They all toast to a successful negotiation. Jeanne ends up dropping the name of the demon lord on Souma: Diballo. Souma feels like he heard that name before but gets tired. Souma lays in Liscia's lap on the bed and falls asleep feeling uneasy about the demon lord's name.
