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).

The theme of the exercise seemed to be the defense of the Demon King’s Kingdom and the participants were given detailed explanations of how they would defend themselves if they were attacked by the enemy.

Maybe that’s why there are a lot of nobles and military people there.

……..

Some of them seem to be from the human kingdoms, is that alright?

This is just my curious question, what would it take for the Demon King’s Kingdom to be troubled if it’s attacked.

「If they send a big army led by a great general.」

An instant answer.

Is that all?

No, since you said so, I guess that’s what it is.

A big army led by a great general.

An obvious winning strategy.

That means a big army is a must.

The great general too.

However, it is quite difficult to have both a great general and a big army at the same time.

This is because you don’t know where the loyalty of the great general leading the army will lie.

Even if the great general has no intention of betraying the king, the king may feel uneasy.

Hence, it will not work.

How about the king as the lead with the great general as his support?

That won’t work either.

No matter how good the great general’s strategy is, it will take time for the king to approve it.

On the battlefield, that is fatal.

This is even more true with a big army.

Ideally, the king himself should be a great general…..

The limited bloodline of the royal family is unlikely to produce a good general though.

……..

That’s what the guy with a know it all face said.

Sorry, I’m just taking it all in.

I can’t comment on anything related to the army.

As I was resting after a quick look around the festival, Tiselle brought some people over to introduce them.

I was a bit defensive because my daughter(Tiselle) said she wanted to introduce someone to me but of course, what she introduced were her nation building staff.

What a relief.

Since the main purpose of this introduction was to show me their faces, it ended with just a quick greeting.

Among those introduced, there were three…..or rather, four people that picked my interest.

The first one is called the “face officer”.

He was the former leader of the anti demon king forces and it seems like he has expressed his support for the creation of Tiselle’s country along with his forces.

Even though they are former, they are still anti-demon king forces.

Wasn’t that dangerous?

There won’t be any problem because he has already succumbed to the Demon King?

I-I see.

So, why “face officer”?

Doesn’t he have a name?

I asked Tiselle’s subordinate.

「He said that he has thrown his name. He said we can call him whatever we wanted so I called him “Chief Executive” but for some reason, he cried and asked me to stop……in the end, he settled with “face officer”.」

H-heh.

-0-

The next person that picked my interest was from a duchy of a human kingdom.

Ekaterize-san.

I remember seeing her at the parade.

She’s a woman who did a splendid performance.

She was a duke’s daughter.

She, too, announced her participation in Tiselle’s nation building with her subordinates in tow.

It seems like most of her subordinates were employed by Miyo in Shashaato City and Miyo has been sending letters of complaints to Tiselle non stop.

I’ll apologize to her later.

However, I’m glad that she cooperated with her.

「She was thinking of marrying a powerful person in the Demon King’s Kingdom but couldn’t find any suitable partner. She said she would only marry someone stronger than her.」

How is that related to her cooperation?

「Sil-sensei, you know him, right?」

Yeah, my son.

「It seem like Ekaterize-sama has obtained information that Sil-sensei and Tiselle-sama are elder brother and little sister.」

You mean you used Sil as a bait to get her to cooperate with Tiselle’s nation building?

「The other party one-sidedly expected that.」

E-ehto…..

「We neither promise nor deceive her. At least Tiselle-sama didn’t.」

I-I see.

Ah, don’t put strain on Sil any further.

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.

-0-

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……

-0-

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.
