Chapter 313 – Village Five’s Battle
Village Five’s festival lasts for a week .
However, the festival is not 24/7 .
The festival takes place only from sunrise to sunset .
There’s normal business operation at night .
Maa, you can hear lively voices from banquets here and there but it is fine since they are happening in a store or in a private house .
If it is not outside, there’s no problem .
The blacksmith showdown is ongoing continuously even at night so there’s no choice but to work .
The Village Five’s residents are watching over them closely too .
…… . .
Watch them more with interest .
No, this is not compulsory .
Sorry .
By the way, this blacksmith showdown… .
I don’t know what a sword hatchet is .
What is a sword hatchet?
Is it different from an ordinary hatchet?
When I asked Youko, the one who decided the subject, she showed the real thing to me .
It’s a little longer than a normal hatchet… . is it a hatchet that can also be used as a sword?
In rural areas, it is sometimes called machete . It is said to be used when walking in a forest or when dealing with daily necessities .
「The name only changed because of the length of the blade so you don’t need to mind it . 」
So that’s how it is .
By the way, how will the outcome of the blacksmith showdown be decided?
「I’ll inspect it . However, if village chief wants Gutt’s team to win, I can do something . Do you want me to?」
「If you want to anger me . 」
「Hahaha . I’m joking . Though we have known each other for a short time, I know village chief’s preference . You want fairness in judgment . 」
I parted from Youko and came back to Big Tree Village .
This is my daily life .
Yeah, I’m always surprised at the difference with Village Five that is currently full of festival atmosphere .
The teleportation gate is amazing .
I also allow people here to participate in Village Five’s festival .
Those who want to can go and participate in Village Five’s festival .
I also give them money .
However, children must be always accompanied by adults .
When I told them that, I also asked them to form some groups and go by batch .
The surprising one was Ursa .
At first, she was eager to go but when she learned that the kuros and the spiderlings can’t go, she stopped saying that she’ll go .
Alfred and Tiselle followed suit .
I’m glad that you have a gentle heart but you don’t have to endure it .
Don’t hesitate to go .
Hakuren, take Ursa .
Alfred and Tiselle will be accompanied by Bulga and Stifano .
It should be Loo and Tier that should accompany them but they have to accompany me to watch the result of the blacksmith showdown on the final day .
Hitoe will go later . Youko will personally take her .
Nutt will also go on the final day .
He wants to see the brave figure of her father, Gutt .
As for the beast boys… . they went there on the first day .
They seem to have had a hard time due to the crowd .
After seeing off the children, I return to my room and lie down on the carpet .
I push reality away a little .
The kittens rode on my head as I’m lying face down .
You guys are already big .
You are quite heavy .
I felt a little impact from my side and when I looked at it, I saw Kuro’s eyes .
Want to lie with me?
Before I knew it, Yuki was already on my other side .
… . .
Ugh, I can’t move .
I was in that state the next 30 minutes .
That ends my escape from reality .
Let’s face reality .
A problem occurred in Village Five .
When it is still the planning stage of Village Five’s festival, Gulf’s group, who went out to exterminate the goo turtle, still hasn’t returned .
I thought it would be inconsiderate of me if I didn’t inform them about the festival so I sent a messenger .
The messenger managed to contact Gulf’s group and returned with the message “we will return during the festival” .
The goo turtle has been exterminated but it seems like there are still some troublesome monsters around so they plan on rooting them out .
I was about to worry for their safety but Gulf’s group has already returned to Village Five .
They brought two elf dignitaries .
One of them is a serious-looking middle-aged male elf .
The other one looks like a fierce-looking female elf .
When the two of them met me and Youko, they suddenly said their declaration of surrender .
「I don’t care what will happen to me but please spare our village . 」
This middle-aged male elf looks serious when he says that .
「Using my neck, let this battle come to an end . 」
That’s the fierce-looking female elf .
When I look at Gulf, he looks away so I ask .
「Wait, village chief, we did not do anything bad . We only exterminated monsters while being guided by the elves as planned . 」
Then, why is this happening?
「For some reason, we got involved in a battle between elves . When we defended, we beat both of them . 」
… . you beat them while defending?
「Fo-for some reason, we went on offense… . 」
For some reason?
「It was a night raid so we went all out on offense… . 」
… . .
My head hurts .
I only ask them to exterminate a monster, why are they in a situation where they subjugated two elven villages?
Ugh, first, what’s the damage on your group?
Anyone injured?
Several adventurers huh .
Did anyone die?
None .
Good .
How about the damage on the other party?
Were there wounded? Did someone die?
A lot were injured but no one has died .
Good, we escaped the worst situation .
Next… . aren’t they part of the demon king’s kingdom?
This .
For the time being, let’s hear the circumstances of each party involved .
Though I feel sorry for the two elves, I’ll have them stay at the inn for a while .
The accommodation fee at the inn is… . eh?
The inn is fully booked because of the festival?
…… . .
Let’s have them stay at the mansion .
I’ll have a civil officer ask them about their situation .
Youko, take care of them .
Gulf, Daga, Pirika, and Pirika’s fellow apprentices .
You worked hard .
I’m glad that you came back safely .
You counterattacked as self-defense so it can’t be helped .
Therefore, allow me to say this .
「Great victory . 」
Let’s talk about the details tomorrow .
Take a rest today .
「Ah, my apologies but, where are the adventurers who accompanied you?」
They might be reluctant to go here but I would like to hear from them as well .
「They went to the festival . 」
… . .
Am I thinking too much?
Considering my relationship with the demon king’s kingdom, aren’t we in a serious situation?
It’s pointless .
Let me refresh a little .
… . . thinking about it, I came back to Big Tree Village to escape reality .
Hmm
Youko doesn’t particularly care .
She even praised them for winning .
It looks like I’m overthinking things .
Is it really not a big deal?
I feel heavyhearted just by thinking I had to contact the demon king to explain the situation and to apologize… .
The next day .
The conclusion after consulting the two former four heavenly kings, it’s not a big deal .
The demon king’s kingdom has various big and small territories .
Though unauthorized attack to other countries is strictly prohibited, domestic battle between territories of the kingdom is allowed .
I heard that as long as you have your reason, you can initiate territorial battle .
I heard that it is necessary in order to maintain the vast territory of the demon king’s kingdom .
In short, it’s fine as long as you are not hostile to the kingdom itself .
I learned something important .
Therefore, beating elf villages that belong to the demon king’s kingdom is not a hostile act towards the kingdom .
…
Is that so?
「Though it will be a problem if you exterminate them to the last elf, the demon king’s kingdom’s war potential won’t be affected even if you beat them and take them as subordinates . 」
No no, there was fighting and there were injured .
I wanted to say so but I swallowed it down since it is the custom of this country .
「In any case, I’m happy we’ve won . I would like to give you something too . 」
Looking at the two pleased demons, I wondered why I was so troubled yesterday .
After that, I met with the two elves again .
Isn’t it great to have an audience?
It’s like an interview .
I had the two former four heavenly kings sit with me too .
「I accept the surrender of the two villages . You are now followers of Village Five . 」
「「Y-yes . 」」
With that, this is finally over .
… . .
I return to Big Tree Village and play with the spiderlings .
I was not able to play with them yesterday .
