Volume 17

After completing his diplomatic tour of the world's nations as the representative of the Kuzunoha Company, Makoto returns to the Demiplane with an unsettling realization: As a merchant, he has been far too naive. Determined to face the realities of human greed and malice head-on, he seeks out Rembrandt, one of Tsige's most influential merchants and a man who understands both the public face of business and the shadows that lurk behind it. Yet instead of receiving guidance, Makoto finds himself drawn into a far more complicated matter. A revolution is quietly taking shape within the rapidly developing city of Tsige, and Rembrandt wants his opinion on the plans unfolding behind the scenes. As political ambitions, economic interests, and hidden agendas collide, the Kuzunoha Company stands on the verge of another major leap forward.
