The people gathered in the room were all quite different from humans.

I've already been acquainted with Nikea of the araneae, Yushika of the harpyurea, and Fanfan of the talpidae, but there was more to come, and the names and peculiarities of the people that came after was truly as one would expect from a demihuman.

Mido of the fang tribe, the werewolves, had fangs and his whole body covered in fur. He glared at me when he saw me. It seemed like he was always ready to go to war regardless of the friendly meeting at hand. Just as Nikea had mentioned beforehand, he was not one to hide his dislike for the goblins.

Tanita of the long-tailed tribe, the rizalat, was just like a lizardman with two heads and two tails. He had an exoskeleton over his upper body just like a crustacean, while on his lower body were those things that belonged to amphibians. He didn't seem to like us much either.

Luther of the shell-tribe, the papirsag, was small and carried a grassy shell on his back. We met a few days ago, and while he wasn't openly hostile, he had a tendency to avoid us.

Daizos of the man-horse tribe, the centaurs, was from the same tribe as Gurfia, who dreamed of unifying the demihumans; theirs was a tribe of power and wisdom. Like Mido, Daizos seemed to be an adherent of strength. He was not friendly.

The last one to arrive was Kerodotos of the man-bull tribe, the minotaurs. His appearance resembled more a wild buffalo than a farm cow, and he had two giant horns that reached for the skies, both of which were twice as big as mine. His condescending gaze suggested he had much experience as a warrior, though the way he spoke seemed to betray that.

"Hey, hey! Why is there a goblin here?" He said slowly as he began to swing the giant axe on his back at me.

Nikea quickly stepped in to stop him. If not for her, he would have probably actually swung that axe of his. He talks slow, but he seems to actually be short-tempered.

With that, all the members of the eight flag meeting have been gathered.

"I thank everyone for gathering here today," Nikea said. "As the person responsible for calling this meeting, I shall act as its moderator. If there is anyone in—"

Nikea was still in the middle of her speech when the werewolf, Mido, spoke out.

"Why is there a filthy goblin here!?" He said as he glared at me.

"Are you insane? Bringing a filthy goblin to our proud meeting," the centaur, Daizos, said

Luther of the shell tribe didn't say anything out loud, but he was nodding nevertheless, while Tanita of the rizalat seemed to be quietly thinking. Yushika, on the other hand, seemed amused. As for Kerodotos and Fanfan, their thoughts were a mystery.

Everyone seemed to be against Nikea, but it was best to keep quiet for now. Stepping in now would just make things worse.

"I called this meeting to discuss two main topics. One, the matter regarding our republicRekyuble, and two, the threat coming from the east. This person here is the king that rules over the goblins of the east. He is our benefactor who has come to inform us of the threat. To treat him poorly would stain our pride," Nikea said.
