Sousou no Frieren - Vol. 11 Ch. 103 - The Time for Punishment

[jsolitaire]

This chapter questionably confirms that Demons:
1. Understand the concept of friendship to some degree
2. Make friendships with other Demons to some degree
3. Are sad when those friends perish
Unless Solitär's words to Macht on why coexistence is a horrible idea were mistranslated or I'm simply understanding them wrong, this should shed some light on Demon society.
Another interpretation of Solitär's use of the term "friends" could also just be a generalized term for every Demon rather than any one Demon specifically. Same reason as to why she was tasked with killing Macht, because it could lead to more Demon deaths.

Solitar literally said she lied about everything you mentioned

Demons can have allies they call friends. But they are not sad when they die, but they may be disappointed. "Friends" can be interesting, they can be useful, they provide interaction and amusement. A demon's friends are simply individuals who they have invested time into getting to know and would prefer they remain alive for whatever reason.

In Macht's case, Gluck was someone he pretended was a real friend. Not to deceive anyone, but in an attempt to "fake it till you make it", imitate friendship in order to try and understand it and the guilt he might feel at betraying it.

Solitar simply speaks of preserving the demon race as a whole. Which is desirable, it is in a creature's nature to procreate after all.

One minor thing that bugged me: Why did Glück instantly recognize Denken
Otherwise, great end to Macht's story although Glück better keep his promise and follow his bro (after he's ensured political stability of Weise preferably)

I would recognize that tacky monocle anywhere

 

[Asiandesu]

What a cool arc

 

[iseedrawnpeople]

So solemn

 

[JWGreatDemon2010]

macht effort understood for human emotion. Solitär always argue a word or deceive with macht, she thinks animals or creatures there is no emotion but little wrong because Solitär doesn't know real feeling emotion, animals have there is emotion (can have crying, happy, fear, sad). but macht really doesn't like her.... I'm really sorry macht u.u

I imagine, for a long time, humans and demons are very calm after fights because that's how, whoever tells them to lie to them? god creation (disappears) and sword in the rock (village of sword), I want to know the story about them

well anyway, macht doesn't like Solitär..
He just wants to understand emotion but she says "they have no emotion and coexistence is bad"

 

[ProWaterDrinker]

This was kinda lame but I'm glad Denken survived and did cool stuff

 

[ProWaterDrinker]

This arc sucked ass, I'm glad it's over

 

[Jambaj0e]

This was such a good, thought-provoking arc. The philosophy of the way Macht and Solitar behave and think about humankind and demons is just so fascinating. A great, fitting end for both demons.

he didn't recognize instantly, he looked, think and them assume it was Denken.
there was some dots ...

 

[wakanana]

Yet it is interesting that he lacked the pettiness to hurt his old master and those bystanding civilians in his end as if he learned something even if it wasn't what he was looking for.

Why would he hurt them? He was beyond "the point of no return", and it's not like he was ever malicious.

 

[handtied]

That feudal lord, gluck, had said it twice that it would be his last smoke, and he still didn't die...
