Chapter 313: Next Village Chieftain?

「Eh!? I’d like it if you don’t involve me in something like that. You do know I’m busy, right?」

「Please don’t talk like that, Aniki~!」

「Who are you calling “Aniki”? Look, don’t come close, it’s dangerous! Transmute!」

It’s just reaping what one sows, but there was a guy who brought his trifling quarrel to a place where people were working so had to restore the ancient ruins. Who’s the Aniki, just who?

When I was hard at work restoring the ancient ruins in the Sky Island, Valkan-san’s son Bagworm-kun, also known as Vart-kun, came to talk about his trivial matters.

And what was that stupid thing about?

「I think I’m the best candidate to be the next village chieftain. Don’t you think so too, Aniki?」

「As I said, quit it with the “Aniki”. What did Valkan-san say?」

To begin with, I don’t want to interfere with things like the chieftain successions of the Aligerous Tribe.Finnd new chapters on nove/lbin(.)com

「Well, the old man said that he can’t leave the head to me.」

Yup, I think that’s right too.

「I’m going to be the chieftain and marry Berkut!」

「Hee, so you’ll marry Berkut? Transmute!」

「Of course I am. Are you saying there’s a better partner for Berkut than me?」

As pointlessly positive as always, this guy. Did Berkut agree?

「I’m busy right now, so I’ll talk Valkan-san and Valzak-san after.」

「Really!? Thanks a lot! Please do!」

Saying so, Vart ran back with a smile. No, I said I was busy, Vart.

「As shameful as it is, my son Valto has bragging contents over the most trivial matters with Vart. It might be time to reconsider how the chieftain role, which had been hereditary[1] until now, is passed on from here onwards.」

I couldn’t stand the heavy air, so I changed the subject forcefully.

「Oh yeah, Vart-kun and Valto-kun both said that they would like to marry Berkut, but is that a love triangle?」

「「Haaa~」」

Oh crap, I chose the wrong topic.

「Iruma-dono, it’s definitely been since long ago that boy Vart liked Berkut, but not once had he been taken notice of.」

「Haa, isn’t your situation better, Valkan? Valto fell for her at first sight and was being aggressive, so he was beat up by Berkut who was creeped out.

「......ah, I saw that, Niisan. Valto...... that boy was happy to be beaten up.」

「Don’t say it!」

Uwaaa, that’s no good. He’s hopeless.

「Oh yeah, the Aligerous Tribe are a race of longevity, aren’t they? Then couldn’t you wait for Valto-kun and Vart-kun to grow up?」

「......that did not cross my mind. Is that fine, Valkan?」

「We have no choice, Niisan. I think we should thoroughly retrain those two while we’re still healthy.」

「......right.」

This was the moment Valto-kun and Vart-kun’s hellish retraining was decided.

I wonder if I could take a break from the ruin restoration.

1. If I remember correctly, it said before in a previous chapter by Berkut(?) that the chieftain succession was NOT hereditary. Now it says that it is. Also, changed chief to chieftain.
