Chapter 785: Ultra High Speed Village Parade (3)
Chapter 785 – Ultra High Speed Village Parade (3)
The parade has temporarily stopped due to the trouble of changing the thing I ride but it was soon resumed.
Following the tower I was riding were three more towers with the village children riding them with the center being occupied by Alfred, Ursa, and Tiselle.
I can also see E3 on a tower.
E3 must have been told to do so by Ursa because she had refrained from riding a tower.
I also saw Hitoe, Youko’s daughter.
It’s good to see that she seems to be getting along well with everyone.

Behind them, the oni maids wearing white chef outfits are riding a tower.
Since they are not dressed in their usual maid uniforms, it looks quite refreshing.
Several carriages filled with food and supplies followed.
It was probably the big wild boar we hunted earlier this morning, but it looked a little too fresh.
Behind the carriages were a group of dwarves and several more carriages filled with barrels of wine.
The dwarves are in a position to be on the lookout for the carriages of food and wine but it seems like they were heavily guarding the barrels of wine more.
At least that’s what I see from where I am.
Well, I don’t really care because there’s no way we will be attacked here.

Following the dwarves…..
A group of humans from Village One.
A group of minotaurs from Village Two.
A group of centaurs from Village Three.
A group of devils and dream demons from Village Four.
They are marching and performing beautifully as if they are showing the results of their practice.
……….
The dream demons from Village Four.
Couldn’t they have done something more about their costumes?
I don’t think less cloth means emphasizing on ease of movement.
Also, I don’t think that string is a good idea.
Ah, they were forcibly given with haori by the devils of Village Four.
Well done.

Following the groups from the four villages were a carriage with the phoenix chick Aegis, Eagle, Swan, and Black Swan.
Incidentally, both the phoenix chick Aegis and Swan insisted on leading the parade but their wishes were not fulfilled. They were causing a ruckus until they realized they had been waved to a prominent position in the outside parade.

After them are the group of ghost knights and lions from the hot spring.
…….
There’s an unfamiliar weird creature, or rather, bones with them…..
It seems to be a new companion of the ghost knights.
They’ll introduce it to me later.

A group of lizardmen.
The lizardmen are marching with their four meter long spears but the tips of their spears are almost always in perfect alignment.
They must have trained hard.
At the end of the line were the spiderlings who had not joined Zabuton’s group.
The smaller spiderlings were marching on top of bigger spiders like Makura.
I can also see Red Armor and White Armor.
Hnn?
It’s amazing how they improvised and weaved webs to make flags.
Big tree and spider?
That’s cool, isn’t it?
However, even if you weave a lot of flags, there’s no place to display them….
Ah, they put them on the end of the lizardmen’s long spears.
It must have been a planned action because the lizardmen didn’t even have to stop.
The lizardmen with flagged spears walked faster and came around my tower.
Ah, the flags aren’t just designed with big tree and spiders.
Each race is woven together with the big tree which includes big tree and dragon, big tree and inferno wolf, big tree and angel, and big tree and high elf.
It captures the characteristics of each race.
Well done.
I waved at the spiderlings from a distance and continued the parade.

That is this year’s parade.
There’s no participation of the demon king, Village Five, or even Michael-san’s group from Shashaato City, who are usually present.
They are busy with the parade outside.
Only Glatts, who marched with the minotaurs of Village Two, is here.
Is it alright for him to be here though?
Well, I guess that’s not for me to worry about.
Youko could have joined in but she didn’t because she was worried about Village Five.

After the parade paraded along the designated route, we disbanded in the order in which we arrived at the square.
This year’s parade was not flashy.
They said they would save the flashiness for the parade outside.
The only ones who complained are the angels(Kuudel) which means no problem.

After the parade, a barbeque was held using the food that had been unloaded from the carriages filled with food that had been escorted by the dwarves.
Of course, ingredients that were not on the carriage were also used.
Putting them on the carriage was just a show.
The oni maids in chef outfits are cooking the food with great skills.
There are several large pots so it looks like there will be dishes other than barbeque.
The beastkins and lamias are helping out too.
They are very helpful.
Then, shouldn’t those who are free prepare the table?
The spiderlings will take care of the decorations?
The lizardmen requested for a big bonfire to be set in the center of the square.
Kuro and the others are watching the perimeter.
The sun will go down soon.
I know, I’ll make sure to save some for you.
…dwarves.
It’s true that we will drink the barrels of alcohol loaded in the carriage but that doesn’t mean we have to drink them all.
Dragons, please don’t drink in your dragon forms.
The alcohol will be gone in no time.
Also, you’re in the way so change back to your humanoid form.
And mountain elves.
Yeah, I know you’ve been working hard.
I know that you even stayed up all night.
Just relax.
You can go to sleep.
You want to eat first before going to bed?
Well, that’s fine, but take it easy.
You can reflect and redesign tomorrow.
If you do that while you are sleep deprived, you won’t be able to work efficiently.
Ah, and by the way.
Let me tell you something.
If you’re going to the parade outside, join the march.
Don’t say that you are better suited to working behind the scenes.
The civil servant girls will be in the outside parade too.
…….
I’m glad you’re open to participating but I don’t think that you can make any more modifications to the carriage you’re going to ride.
I want you to rediscover the goodness of being normal.
Well, let’s talk about the details tomorrow.
If you want to eat, stay out of the way of the preparations.
Civil servant girls, take a rest too.
You’ll be busy again with the parade outside, won’t you?
At least take a break now.
No, well, I’ll take care of it…..
Yeah, you’ve been a great help.
No?
Ehto….
I expect a lot from you!
Is this how I should do it?
Hahaha, I know it doesn’t suit me.

This year’s village parade went off without a hitch and the banquet continued until the next morning.
