///////////////////////////////////
Kyoto- The Capital City of West Youkai Faction.
Under the help of Grigori and their re-assurance towards West and East Youkai Faction respectively, they were able to hold a meeting on Kyoto ground for discussing potential business together.
Youkai, not every single Youkai has ability to transform into Human-Like form and venture the Earth. Their resources are scarce, their dimensions from hiding away from Humans barely hold. What Youkai have that Dominion of Mankind to not is knowledge, a virtue of enormous knowledge of various battle abilities and techniques stacked together.,
And alliance.
Dominion of Mankind has much resources to spare, but they don't have allies, they need capable allies that actually would hold on to their ends of the deal.
Compared to Devils, that is.
A possible mutual alliance between East and West Youkai Factions and Dominion of Mankind would be mutually beneficial.
Change of POV: 3rd POV
Goto stepped inside the meeting room, he is being flanked by two 'Youkai Guard', specifically two Tengu Guards.
Goto, as representative of Dominion of Mankind as a whole and Director of Japanese Hunters in the Japan had requested meeting on behalf of Dominion of Mankind with East and West Youkai Factions, with the help of Grigori.
Or just Azazel.
Azazel was not surprised at all at the discovery of 'Goto already being in Human Faction.' Rather he was just fascinated at the turn of events.
And he is aware of Kuoh's importance.
Goto's opinion Azazel was and always will be 'Dangerous'.
"Sit, young man first." It was a beautiful woman who spoke, a blonde haired woman with beautiful face, with her hair styled in High-ponytail smiled softly as she motioned for Goto to sit on the zabuton in front of her. She is wearing kimono, quite revealing one too.
Goto noticed that she has multiple tails behind her flashing around, and of course two fox-like ears on top of her head, she must be Kitsune called Yasaka, leader of West Youkai Faction.
Beside her, on her right is a small old man, wearing yukata. His most interesting feature was his gourd-shaped head with pointy ears too. His eyes gleamed with dangerous eyes as he set his gaze on Goto, the moment Goto stepped into the room.
He is leader of East Youkai Faction called Nurarihyon.
And last but not least, on Yasaka's left side is Baraqiel, a Cadre-Class Angel from Grigori, he is wearing a professional black suit, with his eyes closed yet Goto could still feel the intense gaze from the man, man was watching his every single movement and inspecting his body for weaknesses and strengths, it took a favor for Azazel to set up this meeting between two Youkai Leaders and Goto Ryuji.
Baraqiel will act as 'mediator' and representative of Grigori Faction in this 'negotiation'. After the 'Kokabiel Incident' years ago, the Three Biblical Faction formed alliance and stopped their small skirmishes on the borders.
It officially started the new era of peace, and if that wasn't enough, they already formed 'Peace-Treaties' with Youkai Factions in the Japan.
It was Goto Ryuji's luck that Nurarihyon WAS thee on 'vacation' from his duties, thus Goto was able to finish his 'Job' in one go.
But in all sincerity, Goto does not care if this 'negotiations' will produce anything. His goal was to attempt a 'contact' with both factions and thus earn Gold that Morgan-Sama needed for another National-Level Hunter summoning ticket.
Alliance or anything that this needless talks may produce are just a bonus, that's it.
Goto walked forward before sitting on the pillow below him on seiza position, a small table is directly in front of him and three below in front too.
"Shall we start the conference between East Youkai Faction, West Youkai Faction, Grigori and last but not Least the Dominion of Mankind?" It was Baraqiel who cut the tension first as he spoke, his words sharp yet cutting as his closed eyes moved towards Youkais and then set on Goto.
All three representatives nodded firmly.
"Dominion of Mankind is a new faction, I've heard from Girgori.." Yasaka started before sending a small glance towards Baraqiel who nodded. " That you have been existing for several years, yet you didn't do anything to attract attention of Supernatural world, then why now?" She asked.
It was Nurarihyon who added. " Why act now, what are you trying to achieve?" Nurarihyon is a rare yet powerful race of Youkai, they are very rare and are known for the mischievous nature like tricksters who would barge into homes and hypnotize people to do their small yet menial task. They never hard Humand to begin with. Yet the last one of the species is a leader of East Youkai Faction and currently doesn't show any attribute for being mischievous.
Goto nodded. " Indeed, your data on us are correct. For us acting now is very simple, I was the member of the Dominion of Mankind for years, I was the one who stopped Kokabiel from potentially starting another Great War. Why, as the faction right now are attempting to form peace tries with other factions. ' He paused as he noticed two Tengu Guards entering the room, while holding plate, cups and trays for Tea. "And business deals, our faction had massed enormous amount of resources in the early days once we started opening all kinds of restaurants and food services all across the globe."
They perked up at that one.
"Restaurants? Give us example." Yasaka covered her mouth and asked with a small tilt of her head.
"Ryuji's Plate' for example, one of the most notorious restaurants in Kyoto and Tokyo for example." He replied, just in time when Tengu Guards placed the plate with cups and tea.
Nurarihyon hummed for a moment before sipping tea in four cups, a cup for each one of them. He took the first cup and drink in front of Goto, a possible showcase that it was not poisoned. Yasaka did the same and soon followed by Baraqiel.
Goto seeing this followed too, though he is cautious.
"I see, then what is the number of Humans in your faction?" Nurarihyon questioned, but his gaze was not moving from Goto's own.
"It's classified for now. " Goto is not going to tell them anyway, Domion of Mankind has over 2,000 Hunters, and several dozens of Sacred Gear users. While number is small compared to Youkai factions that have several dozen of thousands of Youkai, there are clear differneces.
One has civilians, other one does not.
If a breaks out between Dominion of Mankind and East + West Youkai Faction with zero outside interference, Humans would win. They have Liu Zhigang on their side and couple Satan-Class beings too. Quality over quantity.
"Then let's move to the possible deals you could make." Baraqiel interrupted before this could even become a glaring match between Goto an Nurarihyon.
" If you will, Goto-San, we Youkai despite our history with Humans have slight.." Yasaka paused. " How Humans would call it, trust issues with you. " Goto nodded.
" But we are willing to work over a potential deal with food necessities since we gained more 'members' from central Asia." Nurarihyon added as he continued drinking his relaxing green tea.
One of the 'reason's why Morgan ordered for them to attempt to contact Yokai Factions right now would be because of mass 'immigration' of Youkai's from the Central Asia. From China, Russia, Kazahstan, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
And India of course.
Not only 'wars' between Human nations broke out not long ago, and not only Youkai's but other supernatural races were forced to fled from Central Asia for their own safety. And Humans did too, and since many of them of course run to Japan to join Youkai's Faction meant that Youkai faction will need any and all help they can receive to sustain themselves.
It was perfect opportunity for Dominion of Mankind to at least make friendly relations between them.
"So what would you require in exchange for food?" Yasaka asked as she put the down the cup filled with tea back on the table and fixed her gaze towards Goto.
Goto's face till now which was perfectly expressionless, smirked for first time till the start of their conversation, slightly un-nerving the three representatives in front of him.
" It's very simple, us as Dominion of Mankind and our members have decided on grand expansion in the food industry in Japan, we have already brought multiple locations all across the Japan." He took as sip of the green tea before putting it on the table. " In exchange for food you can provide us with man-power we would need in finishing the constructions of the new buildings. For example, we plan to build a Hotel here in Kyoto, we already bough the land for it, name of Hotel would be The Dragon Hotel." He paused, letting the information sin into their eyes.
"I see, it's seems affordable...." It was Baraqiel who added.
" And also, we can employ your people to work in multiple establishments we plan to build here in Kyoto and Tokyo soon, I believe a couple hundred of work-places would be filled at beginning with our current blue-prints." Goto's smirk even more raised. He is pretty sure he got them now.
Youkai Factions have people, but most of their members cannot work because they cannot transform into Humans and go out in Human World. And there are little to no establishments in Youkai Dimension.
If Dominion of Mankind decides to invest in them, they not only would gain favorable opinion from Youkai but also possible 'Work-force'.
In other words, Humans will abuse 'the dimensions where Supernatural Race's live' to earn more profit.
Yasaka and Nurarihyon exchanged glances, the turn of events and how the situation took sudden turn of events would profit both sides.
One side would get work-force, other side would get food and their members would work and be profitable members of society.
"This is indeed a fantastic offer, Goto-San." Yasaka added as she drank another sip of the green tea, seeing that cup is now empty she proceeded to sip it. " If it would be fine, that today we go over the 'bigger picture' on how we could both profit from this investment and tomorrow we sign the contract? But now if we could move to more pressing matters." She nodded towards Nurarihyon, she spoke for West Youkai Faction of course.
Nurarihyon sighed. " I would be lying if I said I'm not interested in your offer, but as Yasaka-Dono mentioned, while we can go over the whole picture today, we will need tomorrow to present entire picture and sign the contract and treaty." He sighed. " But now shall we move towards the potential alliance you talked about?"
Goto nodded, of course. They would obviously need to sign contracts and Goto as representative of Dominion of Mankind has the power to sign for his faction.
Now it's only a matter of etiquette and to get over this shambles.
Goto already won.
"We will be blunt, we are not interested in forming alliance with Humans." Spoke Nurarhyon. Then he added with quirked eyebrow. " But we aren't against signing a peace treaty, territorial treaty wouldn't work for you since Humanity is spread across the entire world anyway.
//////////////////////
What is going to happen after the signing = next day and following weeks.
This was the first step of Dominion of Mankind, following the signing of deals between the Humans and Youkai's, other factions took the interest in rising faction of Humans.
Of course, main forces like Hindu Patheon disregarded them for the meantime, not interested in 'weaklings'.
While forces like Vampires and small factions such as them definitely became wary of them upon hearing about such organization being made.
Church has attempted a contact to 'assimilate their Humans' into their fold, till now un-successful attempts. Dominion of Mankind ignored them.
