Chapter 780 – Spring of the 19th Year

Winter is over and spring has arrived in Big Tree Village.

There is no doubt that the happiest are the nyunyu-daphnes.

The plum blossoms in the village are blooming and the cherry blossoms are almost ready to bloom.

It looks like we can enjoy cherry blossom viewing.

However, before we can play, we have to do something first.

Yesh, it’s time to farm.

Fufufu.

AFT, it’s your time to shine!

Hnn?

Parade?

Ah, this year’s village parade will be after the field planting is completed.

The outside parade will be held ten days after the village’s parade.

The demon king wants to invite various people so he needs to at least have that much time to spare.

The civil servant girls, who were in charge of the parade, decided that there wouldn’t be a problem with that arrangement.

For now, let’s concentrate on our farm work!

But before anything else.

It’s spring so Zabuton has woken up.

In respect to Youko’s honor, I will not recount what happened when Youko apologized.

All I can say is that it’s very emotional and I can’t help but be moved by that apology.

The faces of those who watched were blank though.

However, there is excitement in their eyes.

…..

Why were they like that?

This world is a truly strange place.

By the way, I defended Youko so she didn’t get a harsh scolding from Zabuton.

After that, Zabuton warned me, not Youko.

She told me not to go anywhere carelessly no matter how familiar that place is.

That I should make sure I’m being accompanied by guards.

She also told me to be careful when meeting new people.

She’s very strict.

I’ll be careful.

I met the pond turtles again after their hibernation.

It’s been a while.

Why didn’t I see you break the ice this year?

The timing was off?

Well, yeah, it suddenly got cold when I thought it was already spring.

Any problem with your health?

You look healthy.

Eat well.

In between my farmwork.

Dors, Raimeiren, Hiichirou, Guraru, Girar, Guronde, Hakuen, Rasuti, Doraim, Grafaloon, and Helzenark.

The dragons, in their dragon form, were marching in a line through the forest a short distance away from the village.

It was a rehearsal for the parade that will be held outside.

At first, the dragons had announced that they would not participate in the outside parade.

They said that the village’s parade is but an informal affair but if they participated in a national event, there would be a problem with fairness that the dragons strictly adhere to or something.

Girar and Doraim wanted to participate but Dors and Raimeiren strongly opposed them.

Guronde and Grafaloon also said they have no interest.

However, everything changed with Hiichiro, who was sitting on Raimeiren’s lap, asked her something.

「Can’t I participate?」

These words caused Raimeiren to change her attitude.

If Raimeiren changed her attitude, Dors would follow.

None of them resisted.

The dragons became part of the parade outside.

What about the fairness or something?

Also, although they are not here today, Domaim, Kwon, Kworun, Sekiren, Maxbergak, and Suiren are also scheduled to participate.

Unfortunately, Hikaru, Himiko, and Kukulkan are still too young to participate in the outside parade.

Rananon will be able to participate but she chose to stay at the mansion and relax.

I wondered if she was being reserved but it looks like she’s not so I let her stay.

After all, we will only be away for about half a day.

Right right, demon king suddenly came here for a meeting about the parade outside. But, what’s with his looking so very distant from the dragons’ practice?

Is he having difficulty seeing far places?

It seems like glasses are available in this world so I will recommend him when the time comes.

Eyes are important after all.

A little later.

When the wyverns found out that the dragons were going to participate in the event, they wished us to let them join.

The wyverns and I have been living peacefully with each other after receiving the apologies of the wyverns. The only misfortunate incident between us was the encounter with the wyvern of the iron forest.

Communications via the small wyverns continues to this day and big wyverns are friendly enough to help us kill demon beasts and monsters near Village Five.

However, the wyverns are not satisfied with that level of friendship. They would like a place to show that they are on good terms with us.

That’s why they wanted to participate.

When I asked the demon king, he said, “Wyverns? Totally within the bounds of common sense! Finally! No, I mean, they are very much welcome!”.

I don’t have the authority to give them permission.

However, I gave them the permission that the demon king had given me.

Yeah.

Then, about 40 big wyverns arrived even though the parade was still a long way off.

They are currently waiting in the forest near Village Five.

So, you’re working with adventurers from Village Five to exterminate dangerous monsters and demon beasts?

Thanks for your help.

Eh?

The ones there are the advance team and more will come in a little while?

Understood.

Yeah, I want you to stand by near Village Five.

What about the food supply while you wait?

Are there enough dangerous monsters and demon beasts?

Good.

Let me know if you need more.

We’ll prepare a lot of vegetables.

Just when I was about to finish my farming job.

A giant swan came.

「Looks like I made it in time.」

A little later, a giant black swan also arrived.

「Don’t go on your own! It’s good that I got here in time……」

They are the black swan and white swan that came last year.

As soon as they arrived, Aegis, the phoenix chick, started picking a flying battle with them……

Are you going to join the parade outside?

「Fufu, of course. I must spread my beauty and love! Ah, I’ll also join the parade in the village.」

As usual, Swan is very narcissistic.

I admit that you are a beauty so you don’t need to pose every single time. Also, keep your movement to the minimum.

Yeah, stop with that wing fluttering and your feathers are already all over the place.

Or could it be that it is time for your feathers to shed?

If so, please stay in your human form.

However, if Swan takes on her human form, there would be more trouble.

「It’s been a while. I heard that you built a shrine dedicated to the bird god and I’m very grateful for it. I also heard that you are going to hold a big parade this time and I came here hoping to be a part of it.」

Black Swan.

I welcome you.

I understand why you need to participate in the parade.

Ah, you are also welcome to join the village’s parade as well.

However, the order will be after Aegis.

It can’t be helped.

By the way, there are still a few days left before the parade so please take a rest at a suitable place.

I’ll have the food prepared for you so don’t hold back.

「Thank you very much. Got it. I will make sure Swan won’t be able to do what she wants.」

Please.

Ah, will the giant crow and giant peacock also come?

「They wanted to come but it looks like they won’t be able to this time. They are taking care of the treasures kept at the shrine.」

I see.

I will take you to the shrine in Village Five when the time is right.

「I look forward to it.」

After replying, Black Swan noticed that white Swan was nowhere to be seen and rushed out of the house.

…..

I wish they would stay in their human forms if possible.

There are feathers everywhere.

Dragons: We’re going to join!

Demon King: ……

Beezel: Ahhhh

Randan: Ahhhh

Glatts: Ahhhh

Hou: Wasn’t that predictable?
