Chapter 792 – Parade Outside the Village, Village Five (3)

-Civil Servant Girl’s POV-

I am a demoness.

I am the daughter of a patriarch of a baron family.

After graduating from the noble academy, I was supposed to return to my family’s fief and get married but the marriage proposal broke off…..due to my partner’s misfortune.

I don’t even know what the other party looks like so when I heard that he had encountered a mishap, all I could say was, “Oh, I see”.

I would like them to find a new partner for me but since the engagement broke off due to the other party’s misfortune, it would not look good if we look for a new partner so soon.

We have to give it some time.

However, I couldn’t just spend my life idly at my parent’s house.

I returned to the royal capital and sought work until I could find a new husband.

I guess my timing was good.

I caught the eye of a big wig, who scouted me out, and ended up working in Village Five.

Currently, I hold the prestigious position of Civil Servant Girl.

The senior members of the civil servant girls were all famous names at the Noble Academy, which scared me at first but I soon got used to it.

Because there were scarier beings.

A lot actually.

……..

I think it is better to say that I’m already numbed with fear rather than getting used to it.

Well, either way, it doesn’t matter.

I’m working as a civil servant girl.

I have no complaints.

I am now able to go to Big Tree Village, which had been kept secret, and I am able to speak with village chief.

I would like to strongly declare, so that there will be no misunderstanding, that I consider myself fortunate to be a member of the civil servant girls.

Every day is full of excitement.

I am now able to deal with difficulties shoulder to shoulder with people as high as the four heavenly kings whom I would not have even thought of conversing with before.

If I were to be reserved or anything like that, I wouldn’t be able to do it.

I am happy to have become a civil servant girl.

I am currently watching the opening of the parade in Village Five.

I was moved by the fact that Aegis-sama, a phoenix, was able to fly so divinely.

I know how hard Aegis-sama has been working.

After the parade in Big Tree Village was over, Aegis-sama would come here every night to watch the timing of the sunrise.

He also measured the speed of his flight and calculated in detail how he would fly.

He worked very hard in the limited time available.

Perhaps his efforts paid off, the normally tiny and round Aegis-sama took the form of a giant phoenix. Not only was I surprised but even Eagle-san who was watching over us.

Well, he had to redo the speed calculation though.

But I guess that’s the charm of it.

The parade that began with the flight of Aegis-sama was led by two knights.

They are Swan-san and Black Swan-san in human forms.

This is the result of their request to lead the parade since they were stopped from doing so in the village parade.

Well, this is not a problem as the village chief has approved of this.

The problem is the swords they were carrying.

Originally, they were to have red and blue shining swords but the girls complained about the color.

They said they should be black and white shining swords.

……

Let me be honest here.

I don’t really care about that.

I almost told them to just hold different color swords but my colleague, who loves classics, strongly resisted and we had an argument.

We managed to settle on black and white but the problem persisted.

We had red and blue shining swords because we prepared them in advance but we don’t have black and white shining swords.

We bowed to Loo-sama to give us materials and with the help of the blacksmith, Gutt-sama, we hastily made them.

It was a rush job.

The shining white sword and shining black sword are shining as requested but…..

They were unstable and in danger of exploding.

「It’s alright! As long as you don’t cut anything, it will be fine!」

Said Loo-sama to the production director.

We were not sure if we should hand them with dangerous swords but Swan-san and Black Swan-san insisted that they wouldn’t go if they were not holding those swords. Thus, we had to put them in full plate armor for safety.

Swan-san was particularly disappointed because her face would be covered but she wanted to hold the shining white sword more.

I guess she has some kind of obsession that I don’t understand.

I would have liked to see them dressed as men……

However, village chief’s desire for safety can’t be ignored.

And I’m sorry for the members of the royal guards who had to march behind them.

We asked them to carry shields and be prepared for explosions.

This is not to protect their rear.

This is to protect those who were watching the parade.

「There will be time between the impact and the explosion. If you drop your sword and used shield during that time, you should be fine. The angle of the shield is important too. Deflect the impact upward as much as possible.」

These were the words of Loo-sama, who had conducted an explosion experiment with a prototype sword.

If it had been a huge explosion, village chief would not have allowed them to carry them.

As a result, the tension at the front of the parade was high.

Well, I guess it’s better than no tension.

Yeah, I think it’s okay.

Following the band came the great man……who piled on recklessness.

He has a big smile on his face.

Fufufu.

I can’t help but smile as well.

This has no other meaning.

I swear.

In fact, I know that there are several plans in progress behind the scenes in this parade.

And I was only informed yesterday about them.

……

I’m not angry.

The four who shared hardship with us followed and then, it was the turn of Gol-san, Sil-san, and Bron-san.

Their placement in this parade was a bit of a struggle.

They wanted to be near village chief but Tiselle-sama wanted them to be in the front.

The three of them have their own official positions in the kingdom.

Considering their future, she wanted them to be in a position where they could sell their faces in this parade.

It’s hard to stand out if you’re near village chief no matter how hard you try.

Thus, it can’t be helped.

Following the three beastkins are…..

Representatives of towns and villages between the royal capital and Shashaato City.

Areh?

You looked puzzled, didn’t you?

They looked frightened too.

Have they not been properly explained the reason for their participation or something?

We don’t want any trouble so…

Let’s check with my colleague.

……

Confirmed.

We found the cause.

They saw the other participants shortly before the parade started.

Almost all of them fainted and then they were woken up to participate in the parade when it was their turn.

I guess so.

And I regret that I should have prepared a carriage for them.

Carriages were in so short supply that we had to fight over them so we didn’t even have any carriage assigned for them.

I thought it would not be a problem since they would only be walking…..

Let’s pick some carriages we have secured in Village Five and arrange for them to be able to ride them somewhere.

From the looks of it, it will be hard for them to walk the route planned in Village Five.

In any case, I want them to hang in there until the carriages arrive.

Following them in their bewilderment are the regular army, the pride of the Demon King’s Kingdom.

……….

Almost all of them are in the commanding class but, are they okay?

I feel like they’ve been too relaxed because there hasn’t been any battle for a while now…….

Well, I wouldn’t worry about that.

The regular army people are equipped with farming tools, not weapons.

Axe is a weapon but its original use is to cut down trees.

These are appeals to show that the Demon King’s Kingdom is following Big Tree Village.

This is because they were not lent a banner of the Big Tree Village.

They had no choice.

By the way, no one told village chief about it.

What village chief thinks of this is up to him.

I will not say anything unnecessary myself.

I’m a civil servant girl after all.
