ISEKAI NONBIRI NOUKA

Chapter 808



In a room prepared for me at the royal castle, I stretched out.

It’s in the parade outside the village this time.

Tiselle was working on various things behind the scenes.

She wanted me to be known.

I guess she wanted me to play an active role as a leading figure in the Demon King’s Kingdom, not just a village chief.

As a father, I’m glad to hear that but I think it’s impossible and reckless considering my own qualities.

First of all, it would cause trouble to the demon king.

That’s not good.

So I decided to interfere with Tiselle’s plan.

I worried for three days thinking that Tiselle might dislike me……

But I have to educate her.

So, I gave up.

-0-

It was easy to interfere.

All I had to do was create someone more prominent than me.

Fortunately, the kingdom already has that prominent figure, the demon king.

I asked the demon king to do his best.

I would just be his shadow.

Tiselle might get dissatisfied with me for thinking so but this is a part of me that can’t be changed.

As long as I can protect my current life in the village, I would not ask for more.

-0-

First thing I did was suppress the angels so that the fighting that would occur in the royal capital would not intensify.

Next, I instructed Dors and the others not to enter the royal capital.

I also asked the kuros to not defeat the residents of the royal capital in the event of a battle.

I also asked the minotaurs and centaurs to participate in the rescue operations in the event of a battle.

The demon king was very cooperative.

Very helpful.

The battle in the royal capital was a military exercise and we tried to settle the situation and I think it went reasonably well.

In addition to the spiderlings, Loo, Tier, the lamias and the titans also voluntarily participated in the rescue operation.

There were some injuries but they were all minor and would heal in a few days.

No, they will heal immediately if magic is used.

I’m really glad that no one died.

Tiselle has already been careful about that matter but it seems like the people of the Demon King’s Kingdom have a culture of being okay with death during events.

When I talk with the civil servant girls about festivals around the kingdom, I always hear about deaths.

Is it because war is so common?

Or is there always a problem with safety management at such events?

Whatever it is, I don’t want any deaths at events involving me, my sons, or my daughters.

I asked Prada and the other ancient devils to follow up on this matter and work behind the scenes.

I was relieved that Prada and the others were willing to take on the job but what they did was to go around handing out weapons with low killing power to the residents of the royal capital.

That’s good since they’ll use it to attack us, but will it stop deaths?

Apparently, it won’t.

However, it seems like when they handed out weapons, they casted defensive spells on them.

Thanks to that, no one will die unless there is a great misfortune.

Well, magic is very useful, isn’t it?

-0-

I was going to ask the beastkins and the high elves to help but I decided to not do so.

If I do too much, Tiselle will notice it.

I don’t mind this thing being canceled altogether but considering the future, it would be better to let Tiselle experience failure here.

That’s what I decided.

So, as a result, the beastkins and high elves who were not informed seemed to have enjoyed the battle to the fullest.

However, I did not expect that they would go and conquer the school that Alfred and the others are attending.

On the school’s side, Ria’s mother, Rigune, was leading the defense force and I heard that they had quite a difficult time.

However, since they succeeded in suppressing the school, Ria and the other high elves were quite happy.

The beastkins seemed to be exhausted though.

Ah, by the way, just now, I received a complaint from the demon king’s wife, the school principal, with a smile on her face.

She told me to not involve educational facilities.

I agree with that.

I’ll warn the beastkins and the high elves later.

-0-

Right, right.

When the demon king gathered the citizens in front of the royal castle to appeal that it was a military exercise, I was surprised that he suddenly declared something.

He had prepared for it for a long time…..no, perhaps that is the real purpose of this parade.

“I declare that we are the victor in the war against human kingdoms.”

A declaration of victory in the war against the human kingdoms.

It’s quite an amazing move.

It’s a declaration to unilaterally stop the war.

Of course, there will be opposition from the human kingdoms.

However, the human kingdoms can only compete with the demon kingdom if they unite.

There may be human kingdoms that do not want to continue the war.

I believe that being unified is impossible.

However, even so, the war will continue.

If that is the case, the declaration of the demon king will end up being just words.

Although I’m not in a position to interfere in the national politics of the demon kingdom, I made a proposal to the demon king.

I proposed to the demon king to build a new country in the territory bordering the human kingdoms.

The new country would serve as a bridge between the Demon King’s Kingdom and the human kingdoms.

I would have been grateful if they would have considered it but the demon king himself immediately accepted my proposal and set it to stone.

So this is a monarch of a big country.

As expected.

The parade and military exercises came to an end, and it was time for the evening party.

-0-

Now.

Right, now.

My current behavior.

I’ve been acting differently.

Stange if you would like to describe it.

Yeah, I know.

It’s unlike me.

There is no way I would move to suppress the angels or ask them to build a country.

And of course, there is a reason why I’m acting so unlike me.

There is someone who advised me.

The one who told me that Tiselle was up to something which made me take some actions in the royal capital.

Loo?

No.

Tier?

No.

Answer.

My and Ann’s son.

Yes, Torain.

-0-

Shortly before the parade outside the village, in Big Tree Village, Torain talked to me.

He told me Tiselle’s plan.

He told me what will happen in the royal capital.

Then, he asked me.

He asked me if I was willing to work for the Demon King’s Kingdom.

The meaning of the question is broad, but I won’t make a mistake in answering it.

All that matters to me is Big Tree Village.

If the existence of Big Tree Village is threatened, I will stand up, but if not, I have no intention of getting actively involved.

I replied.

He said “understood, bowed his head, and was about to take action.

Torain said he’ll ask Metora’s help….no, let’s just say it directly.

He’s going to the royal capital to keep Tiselle in check but that would only get Tiselle and Torain on each other’s bad side.

I don’t know what Torain is going to do but I guess he will interrupt what Tiselle is trying to do for me.

I understand that.

However, if he interferes, even if it’s for my sake, Tiselle’s anger will be directed at Torain.

That’s not good.

Of course it’s not.

The one who should stand in front of the brunt of her anger is not Torain, but me, her father.

It should be me.

Thus, I decided to do my best.

Yes, I did what Torain was trying to do myself.

……..

Given the result, I guess you could say it worked.

I’ll move instead of Torain, I keep telling that to myself.

Many times I thought this isn’t something I’m capable of doing.

However, it’s better than siblings getting on each other’s wrong side.

Yeah, I made the right choice.

I think.

Think…..

Hey, Torain.

「What is it?」

I had called Torain to my room after the party was over.

I had something to ask him.

Tiselle is going to be involved in the new country we are building.

This was Torain’s proposal, which I had told the demon king which he had approved.

Why would you do that?

「I only wish Tiselle-anesama to learn. In the Demon King’s Kingdom, the environment is too lenient for her. That isn’t good.」

Really?

「Yes. I think that an environment where she has to struggle a little will lead to her growth. Besides, considering Garret Kingdom, it would be better if the angels are involved in the newly built country. The obedient faction of the Garret Kingdom….was the “Orthodox Garret Kingdom”, right? We are planning to make it subservient to Tiselle-anesama’s kingdom.」

I understand that it’s better for the future if Tiselle is involved but……

「Is there a problem with that?」

I don’t like the idea of Tiselle going to a place far from the royal capital.

「I understand father’s concern to Tiselle-anesama but I hope that can be alleviated by sending excellent escorts.」

Tiselle’s escorts.

Torain has requested that we send spiderlings.

I’ll discuss this matter with Zabuton first……

「It would be helpful if we could get a few angel escorts as well.」

Ah, I agree.

I’ll consult Tier and Malbit.

Alright.

Sorry for bothering you so late.

I wanted to hear from Tiselle as soon as possible.

「It’s okay. Ah, by the way, what about Mother Frau and Yuri-san?」

Hnn?

What about them?

「I think they were working with Tiselle-anesama so……」

……

I’ll talk to Frau and Yuri so there’s no need for you to do anything.

「Understood.」

Torain bowed and left the room.

Torain’s good friend, the mountain elf, was waiting for him in the hallway so I didn’t have to worry about his safety even if it was late at night.

Well, I’m sure he’s strong enough to go back to his room on his own even if she’s not here.

Haa.

It’s true that Torain was a big help in this case but…….

I should be communicating more with my sons and daughters.

Also, I think Ann is raising Torain too strictly.

I’ve been wondering lately if my parent-child relationship with Torain could be more relaxed.
