Chapter 822: Mini School Festival, Night

The sun has set.

I was told that the mini school festival would last till night…..

It seems like it will still continue.

The reason for the continuation is because the number of participants is increasing.

According to their original plan, they are not supposed to invite outside visitors, so they didn’t advertise the event.

Perhaps those who joined the festival in the afternoon informed others, and they are now the demons that are raiding the festival.

Well, if they hadn’t heard about the festival, they would have been working as usual.

They must have come after finishing their work.

This means that the food and drinks will be the most popular attractions.

The sake stall and Marla stall are popular.

Darn, we missed a good business opportunity.

If only we could have prepared more ingredients.

No, the amount of food we could bring would be our limit.

No matter how hard we try, it would be impossible.

Just as I was thinking of that, I received a bunch of ingredients from Noodle Shop Britoa of Village Five.

It was arranged by Miyo who came to see the festival.

As expected of Miyo.

And the teleportation gates are really convenient.

The staff and I hurriedly set up the stalls that we had already taken down and resumed our noodle stall business.

But of course, the additional ingredients came from Noodle Shop Britoa.

Which means this is not the ramen I serve but Noodle Shop Britoa’s ramen.

Which means I have no power here.

If I do something, it might affect the taste of Noodle Shop Britoa’s ramen that the staff cook.

Too bad.

However, I can only give up because I got a message from Miyo telling me to leave the food stall to the staff and take a rest.

Incidentally, the angels who came with me as waitresses are doing their best to do their behind the scenes work such as cleaning the tables and the venue and washing the noodle bowls.

When I tried to help them, they begged me not to take their jobs away.

Since it’s mainly food stalls, there are not many occasions when waitresses are useful.

Well, I guess they are doing a good job in organizing lines.

I can only continue enjoying the festival.

……….

Right in front of me were a depressed Asa and Earth.

They are depressed as heck.

So I guess I’ll have to ask them why.

What’s wrong?

They said they were deeply hurt that Torain doesn’t see them as his ideal butlers.

Ah.

He seems to be using Eric, Tiselle’s subordinate, as a role model.

Well.

Is that so?

The butler that Torain is aiming for is a legitimate butler.

Yeah, the type that assists not only in public and private but also the lord’s professional life including lording the domain.

That is the same direction as Eric is heading.

On the other hand, Asa and Earth are close aides who support the lord’s private and public affairs.

Since you are currently focusing on information gathering, you are not around Alfred, your current lord, and his family very often.

Perhaps Torain can’t see you as a good example given that you’re not even with your lord.

As for Eric, he’s being assigned with close associate types of jobs.

I think if he hadn’t met Eric, he would have taken Metora as his ideal butler.

……

I just said something that someone comforting them shouldn’t have.

I should use more kind words.

I think you’re doing a great job.

You are awesome.

Not working?

Hmmm.

This is hard.

It can’t be helped.

Ursa, please.

「Earth, I’m satisfied with the work you are doing. What are you being ashamed of? Be proud.」

Ah, Earth straightened his back and wept.

Good.

Now, Earth is alright.

Then, it’s Asa’s turn.

Eh?

Earth only?

Asa is looking at you with eyes full of expectations.

The one who’s supposed to praise Asa as a butler is the acting village chief of Village Four, Kuzuden?

For formality?

I doubt Kuzuden himself is aware that he’s a lord.

Can’t you say anything from your standpoint as a lady living in this academy?

Yeah, just do it.

「Asa, you’re a lifesaver. Tiselle’s a headache but continue doing your excellent work.」

Asa’s response is……

He no longer looks upset.

Good.

When I get back to the village, I’ll contact Kuzuden and tell him about Asa’s satisfactory work.

Then, maybe, he will get a letter from Kuzuden as thanks for Asa’s work.

………

Doesn’t Bell sound more like the lord than Kuzuden?

But in terms of position, she and Asa are colleagues……let’s contact Bell just in case.

There shouldn’t be a problem if Asa receives letters of praise from both Kuzuden and Bell.

The food stall serving alcohol is a big hit.

It became the center of the banquet hall.

As expected, the amount brought by the stall was not enough so they had to purchase sake from the Goroun Company and the Dalfon Company.

The sake, which looks expensive, is being brought up in big barrels but I wonder if they will be paid or not.

Even though it will be the kingdom who’ll pay for all of this, I don’t think they can just do whatever they want.

Well, I guess it’s not a problem since Hou, the minister of finance, is here.

Areh?

Where is Hou?

She had gone home?

She wants to eat dinner at home?

Heh.

I thought she prioritize drinking over eating but I guess that changed after she got married.

Ah, she carried sake barrels with her?

I see.

I guess things don’t change that easily.

-0-

Now, ehto, Hou is not here but, are you sure those sake will be paid?

The sake are free of charge so just treat it as gifts from the Goroun Company and Dalfon Company?

Did the companies place more importance in cooperating with the festival than on payment?

Ah, I see.

The festival is basically for Tiselle’s nation building.

If you cooperate with this, it means you’ll get involved with the nation building.

That’s not it?

Both the Goroun Company and the Dalfon Company have already received cooperation requests from Tiselle.

In other words, these are pure support for the festival.

I guess I’ll have to send a letter of thanks to the Goroun Company and Dalfon Company as Tiselle’s parent.

Then, I found the ancient devils Prada and Beton-san.

They are both in the royal capital for auction related business so it’s not surprising to see them at the festival.

They seemed to be dining together amicably so there shouldn’t be any problem.

I thought I would pass by without disturbing them but Prada spotted me.

「Village chief, you should have at least invited us to festivals like this.」

Sorry.

But, aren’t you supposed to be busy with the auction?

「Except when there’s a festival.」

Well, I guess so.

I’ll make sure to invite you next time.

I’ll tell Alfred and the others.

「By the way, village chief.」

Hnn?

「Do you remember the book you bought at the auction in Village Five?」

The book I bought at the auction in Village Five is…..

Ah, “Farming Diary”.

「Yeah, that one. The place where the seeds are was written on that thing.」

Come to think of it, the place where it was hidden was in the area where Fullheart Kingdom and the Demon King’s Kingdom were engaged in warfare.

「Yeah, it’s around the ruins where the wyverns are nesting now.」

Is that so?

「What should we do? Do you want to look for them?」

I’m interested.

However, that place isn’t necessarily safe.

The human kingdoms don’t care about the Demon King’s Kingdom’s declaration of victory nor Tiselle’s nation building.

If the other side wants it, a battle could happen any time.

In short, if I try to go, Loo and the others will stop me.

The only way for me to check it out is to organize and send a search party from the village or hire adventurers to search it for me.

Only then will it be allowed.

Also, the search should only be done after some progress has been made in Tiselle’s nation building.

Once Tiselle’s nation building starts, transportation will be more convenient.

Incidentally, I’m very worried that Tiselle will go to a country where battle may occur anytime while they are building it.

I don’t doubt the instructions coming from the royal capital but if you don’t know the place you’re going to, you’ll be dealing with a lot of problems.

I reluctantly allowed her to go on the condition that she must be accompanied by escorts.

Beezel also promised me that if Tiselle will go there, he would accompany her so if there is any danger, he will teleport her to safety.

They say “Let children travel” but if possible, I don’t want her to do so.

I was the one who arranged the trip but as a parent, that’s how I think.
