Henri's counterattack begins.

This is shaping up like one of those charts you see of historic wars in which fifteen different arrows are all pointing at France. Demon Border Patrol... is likely NOT going to be a thing after the conflict. Henri may be head of a new police force, but the force as it is will not survive.

This chapter got me thinking about if the netherworld has their own version of human rights and whether Iruma would even be considered to have those rights. I’m ofc motivated towards this thought on account of the US constitution, which makes appeals to universal human rights but has been interpreted to only be legally applicable to US citizens. For example, the right to free speech is still applicable for imprisoned people in the US, so prisons are not allowed to interfere with prisoners communicating with people outside. There are extenuating circumstances, which are sometimes used to justify very liberal use of censorship, but letters are legally required to be sent. However, in the case of prisoners in Guantanamo Bay, who are suspected foreign nationals, they are not given the right to communicate with the outside (along with, famously, the right against cruel and unusual punishment).
Demons in Iruma-kun are kinda presented as a semi-enlightened race, where bureaucratic institutions resemble ancient human societies, and yet among other strange things, there is effectively no political violence and education of all things in a central cultural value. In such a society, something as politically complex as universal rights probably wouldn’t develop. But ofc, one of the main reasons why they developed in the real world was to combat institutional power being used inconsistently whenever the slightest legal anomaly occurred, Iruma being one of those anomalies in the story.

I believe Henri wrote everything on a separate letter that was written on the original before destroying it and sent out the copy to the misfit class.

Technically, didn't send "Iruma's" letter.

Technically, wasn't "written" by Iruma.

Legal loophole.

A letter cannot remain, but spoken words don't remain either right? I'm guessing Henri told Ameri Iruma's words and received a recorded response.

How that is different from passing letters, reading, and then destroying them beats me.
