Chapter 821: Mini School Festival, Afternoon

Chapter 821: Mini School Festival, Afternoon

The mini school festival at the school.

I thought what was happening in the morning would continue into the afternoon but it did not.

It seems like people from outside the school can also participate in the afternoon.

The number of people increased tremendously.

Kuro and Yuki and Korin’s Sweet Temple, who had prepared a significant amount of servings, were sold out in no time.

Marla’s stall was still doing a great job.

They were also in the process of being sold out in the morning but that didn’t happen since they asked for support earlier.

Additional curries and employees from Shashaato City arrived.

Even though there are teleportation gates, their response time can only be called excellent.

I will tell Marcos and Paula to praise their staff.

The food stall that Earth set up is also attracting a lot of customers.

It is so popular that.....areh?

What’s this?

The noble-like customers gathered at a table near Earth’s stall are crying.

「I also want our maids to give this kind of normal service.」

「Right, this is awesome. I don’t even need an armed maid in the first place.」

「Hear me out. When I asked them for a coffee, I actually received coffee. I’ve never been so happy.」

「I know right. Isn’t it impressive that they did exactly what they were asked to?」

.........

Sounds like a pain.

I don’t want to get involved so I’ll just cheer on them in my mind.

Now, the mini festival is getting more and more people and various kinds of performances are being presented in various places.

Plays, musical performances, speeches.

Speeches?

Like a pre-election town hall speech?

No, just making a point.

The content is.....ehto......

Humans don’t unite.

They are divided from one reason to another.

And they also fight among themselves.

Therefore, it is necessary to destroy them to prevent them from invading the Demon King’s Kingdom.

Yes, total annihilation!

We must kill each and every one of them!

.......

T-that’s so radical.

And it’s even a human who’s making that claim.

The demons who are listening are telling him to calm down.

Did something happen to him in the human kingdoms?

Ah, so he was the minister of internal affairs of a country for many years but he was disgraced and exiled because of a false bribery claim.

Someone whom he treated as his best friend actually betrayed him.

Don’t mention the exact name.

It could cause all kinds of problems.

Ah, he started crying.

H-hang in there!

I couldn’t help but cheer on him.

The festival seemed to have a strong connection with the formation ceremony of the nation building project of Tiselle and there were many performances related to it.

There’s even a briefing about the nation building project.

A presentation of the specific location to be used.

Introduction of the main staff.

........

The nation building related stuff isn’t very popular even though it’s taking up a good amount of space.

Well, there’s a lot of difficult topics after all.

What is popular is the attraction of playing death god on a special stage.

Both adults and children seem to enjoy it.

The person playing the role of death god is quite well coordinated and takes it easy on the guests.

I can’t see the face because of the mask that person playing the role of death god is wearing......

Eh?

Isn’t that Ria’s mother(Rigune)?

Heh.

Another popular activity is the military exercise(?) in which the pieces placed on the stage, the big diorama earlier, are moved by magic.

This one is very popular because of the participation of a specialist(Glatts).

It may be none of my business but is it possible to prepare a suitable partner for her in time?

There is no need to commit to marriage.

Whether or not they get together is ultimately a matter of compatibility and effort of both parties.

Ah, I’ll ask Beezel, Randan, and Glatts for their cooperation.

Yeah, let’s beg them.

Then, there’s the third one.

He was the human who was crying after his speech earlier.

I heard that Tiselle caught him just now as he is the best person to be in charge to form the country’s government given that he was a former minister of internal affairs of a country.

I agree with that point but, isn’t he an extremist?

He’s the type who separates public and private affairs?

W-well, I guess there’s no problem......

Finally.

Tiselle’s subordinate who has answered a lot of my questions.

Eric.

He is working as Tiselle’s assistant and he was recommended by Alfred himself.

He is still young but very calm.

Although we only talked for a short amount of time, I could sense that he’s an excellent person.

Torain seems to idolize him as his ideal butler and he said that he’s learning a lot from him.

As a parent, I guess I should say that my daughter and son are indebted to him.

......

However, as a father, I have a concern.

Is he on good terms with Tiselle?

Are they close?

I’m very concerned.

However, I can’t ask Eric himself.

I may be overthinking it but from his point of view, I’m the parent of his boss(Tiselle).

I am someone he has to pay attention to.

Romantic relationship confirmation from a parent.

I wouldn’t take “I am interested” or “I am not interested” as an answer.

It’s not a good idea to ask Tiselle about it either.

Tiselle didn’t think anything of it now but if I pointed it out to her, she’ll start becoming aware of it.

That’s a typical introduction to a romance story.

I can’t do that kind of poking the bush to scare the snake out.

Which means the best thing to do is to ask Alfred and Ursa.

Just as I was thinking so, the Demon King arrived.

The Demon King seems to be coming to the school for some reason so he probably knows what’s going on to some extent.

Thus, I secretly asked the Demon King.

「Hahaha. As a father, I can fully understand your feelings. However, you can rest assured. Lady Tiselle and Eric boy are not in that kind of relationship.」

Is that so?

「Yeah. I was also curious to know how well he and Lady Tiselle are getting along.B Because of that, I jokingly asked him, “when are you going to marry Lady Tiselle?”.」

W-what’s with that question!

A-also, how did he answer?

「He said, “even if you’re the Demon King, there are things that you’re not allowed to say.”. He grabbed me by the collar and started screaming at me. I was scared that time......」

Ah, perhaps he’s the type of guy who values marriage and is not comfortable using it as a joke.

「.....I-I guess he is. Maybe.」

Alright.

That’s safe, right?

「I think yes.」

As a father, I have mixed feelings.
