Chapter 313

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 .
