Isekai Nonbiri Nouka - Chapter 881

Chapter 881: Preparations for Spring

Shirukine-san has visited the Big Tree Village a few times before, though not frequently.

Once a year, if that.

She seems quite busy managing her territory.

However, lately, she’s been coming almost daily.

She said it’s for mental recuperation.

No, it’s not a bother or anything.

It’s just... the angel(Malbit) responsible for her mental strain, is here as well. Is that alright?

Ah, your granddaughter Fracia is here too.

And you’re also here to explain how to use your cosmetic products to the villagers?

I see.

Due to the negotiations regarding the breeding of Mereos, some of the cosmetics sold by Shirukine-san’s company have been transferred to Big Tree Village.

So, Shirukine-san herself kindly came in person to explain them.

Much appreciated.

Hmm?

Not a part of the exchange, but Malbit seems to be trying to recruit the caretaker of the Mereos that Shirukine-san brought along, and she wants me to stop her?

Apparently, that caretaker took Malbit down with a flying knee strike, so she’s earned her admiration.

Malbit is surprisingly a martial art person.

Alright, alright.

I doubt she can be so easily recruited, but I’ll keep Malbit in check.

Besides, Fracia has arrived.

It’s a result of her education.

She used to call Shirukine-san “Granny Shir”, but now it’s “Shirukine-oneesama”.

Well, let’s not nitpick.

Demons’ appearance and age don’t always match, after all.

Beezel, watching from the shadows, went from “Gramps Beezel” to “Grandfather Beezel”, and he looks a bit disappointed.

The Mereo from Village Four is being transported to the Mereos breeding grounds in Beezel’s territory.

The devil girl who raised the Mereo in Village Four agreed to let it be taken outside the village for a month.

Her only conditions were that he’ll be returned, and that she would like at least one child, to which Shirukine-san readily agreed.

Then came the question of how to transport it.

Initially, we leaned toward carrying them by dragon, but the Mereo was unwilling to ride on a dragon’s back.

Well, it can’t be helped.

Even if it was raised in captivity, it still can’t overcome its fear of dragons.

Not that it’s anything to fear, really.

To avoid unnecessary stress, we decided to use the universal ship for transport.

I thought Loo had promised Dors not to take the ship out of the Forest of Death, but that was only about its construction.

In fact, there’s no issue with using it wherever we need.

It’s just that if we flaunted it outside, people would start clamoring for us to build more, so we simply kept it within the forest.

Dors understands this, so we won’t get scolded for using it outside.

Even if there were a promise not to take it out of the forest, there’s always a loophole.

The Forest of Death’s boundaries are quite vague, after all.

If we temporarily designated our destination as part of the Forest of Death, it wouldn’t technically break the promise.

However, this approach would just anger Dors.@@novelbin@@

Such sophistry isn’t even worth considering.

Promises should be kept sincerely.

The ancient devils working for Dors and the others also advised us to act with integrity.

And I believe that’s the right thing to do.

Now, Village Four will be isolated while the ship is away, but we can communicate via the castle’s communication system.

Another problem arose with four other male impure dragons who came, concerned about Metora’s husband.

Though their issues were resolved, their wives then came to Metora.

And they said...

「Who the heck beat the pulp out my husband!?」

「Explanations are unnecessary. Let’s settle this with fists. 」

「EH? Dandaji? Dandaji got married? No way! 」

「Perfect! I can finally settle old grudges! But congratulations on the wedding! 」

Four one-on-one fights took place.

In dragon form.

The details were ascertained in a simple report from Metora’s now husband.

Yes, well... to put it simply, “I was terrified”.

The fact he didn’t flee says a lot; he put in a good effort.

Even if he only stayed because his legs gave out and he couldn’t move...

........

This trouble here has nothing to do with Metora’s marriage, right?

-0-

In any case.

Ursa and the others want to properly spread the word about Metora’s marriage to minimize further issues.

I believe the trouble with the impure dragons ends with those four, but given the wild days when she was still called Dandaji in the past, it wouldn’t be surprising if there’s more.

Apparently, there are still impure dragons furious that she found happiness for herself while they still aren’t.

To calm them, they want to hold the wedding and reception in the Big Tree Village.

After all, Dragon King Dors and Dark Dragon Girar are here.

If the marriage is acknowledged by those two, no one will dare object.

As for me, since Metora has taken care of Ursa and the others, I’m fully willing to help.

So, I’ll cover the expenses for the wedding and reception here in the village.

It’s the least I can do.

And everyone in the Big Tree Village is pitching in too.

That said, what we’re doing here is our usual banquet.

The women of the village are preparing various things to give it more of a wedding feel, and the Oni maids are testing out some extravagant dishes.

The prototype wedding cake has the Fairy Queen and children thrilled.

I don’t mind if they taste it now, but the same cake will be served on the big day.

Won’t they get tired of it?

They claim the flavor will be even better on the day.

I get it, but I wish they wouldn’t say that out loud around the Oni maids.

See, they’re fired up now.

Metora’s wedding and reception will be held not only in the Big Tree Village but also grandly celebrated at the base village where Tiselle is building a nation and in the capital.

That’s what I heard in Ursa’s letter, as part of their plan to introduce Metora’s husband and prevent any trouble.

That makes sense.

Knowing that Metora’s husband is an impure dragon should discourage challengers.

Hmm?

Also, it seems Tiselle will announce the name and representative of the nation she’s building.

Oh, it’s been decided, has it?

But using the wedding and reception as a stage—is that really okay?

If Metora and her husband are fine with it, then it’s all good.

I’ll just check to make sure they weren’t pressured into it.

AN: will be a spring story.

Look forward to it.
