Isekai Nonbiri Nouka Chapter 1067: Yame Socializes in the Village

My name is Yame.

The sailing ship we received from the seakins.

The angels worked hard to get the sails.

Apparently, it takes about two days to travel from the island to the mainland by sailing ship.

The angels flew to a port city, bought the sails, and…

They couldn’t bring them back themselves.

Apparently, the sails were heavier than they had imagined.

So we asked the seakins to transport them for us.

We put village chief on the sailing ship and set sail.

No one knew how to operate the sailing ship, so in the end, we had the seakins push and pull it along.

The angels who had gone to the mainland were wondering aloud whether there had even been any point in getting the sails.

I think there was.

A ship with sails looks different from one without them.

Village chief was overjoyed.

He was even more excited than I had imagined.

In other words, we succeeded in surprising village chief.

At least that part went well.

The problem was that we hit the rocky wall we had built to hide the harbor shortly after setting sail.

It wasn’t because the seakins pulling and pushing the sailing ship had made a mistake.

The problem was that we had the sails spread out.

A sudden gust of wind caught the sails and sent the sailing ship out of control.

Putting appearance first wasn’t a good idea.

No one was injured in the collision, and the ship itself only suffered some minor damage, but village chief got off the ship for safety reasons.

I thought we had messed up, but village chief was laughing so hard, so maybe it was fine?

Yeah, it seems fine.

He’s already coming up with ideas for improving the hidden harbor.

But I wonder why he wants to turn the path to the hidden harbor into a dungeon.

Wouldn’t that just make it harder to get there?

The harvest work in Big Tree Village was finished, so I thought village chief would spend all his time on the island now, but apparently there’s going to be a martial arts tournament in the village next.

Even the villagers staying on the island are taking every opportunity to train in one way or another.

I was invited to come watch, so I happily agreed to go.

The chicks have grown enough that I don’t need to worry about them as much anymore.

Ah, and I absolutely will not fight.

Bulga or Stifano might register me without asking, so I must be careful.

Gucci will use his connections with important people to do it, so I must be even more careful.

I’m weak.

I watched the martial arts tournament in Big Tree Village.

Is this some kind of world championship?

For a village of this size, I think they have far too much fighting power.

The battles between angels were frightening enough, but the battles between dragons were especially terrifying.

Haven’t the villagers gotten a little too used to things like this?

…It was tame this time?

That was tame?

Was it because the vampire Loo, the angel’s Tia, and the dragons Hakuren and Rusuti weren’t participating?

Why didn’t they participate?

……

Ah, they found out they were pregnant.

Congratulations.

I honestly think it’s amazing that the father of all of their children is village chief.

But village chief needs to eat nutritious food, or you’ll die young.

Take care of yourself.

As entertainment during the martial arts tournament, there was a battle between chickens.

Hmm, so chickens learned how to use magic while I was sleeping.

I didn’t know that.

I wish they wouldn’t smash the stone floor with their beaks.

What really stuck with me was how the winning chicken went to report its victory to the Oni maids with an incredibly smug look on its face.

Shouldn’t it have gone to report to village chief?

-0-

Likewise, as another form of entertainment during the martial arts tournament, there was an obstacle race using multipurpose humanoid heavy machine.

Yuri participated too.

And she won by a huge margin.

Applause.

Second place went to a devil like me… Ah, it should be Ancient Devil now.

Klim of the Ancient Devil race.

It’s strange, though. We’re practically masses of magic power, so even if we wear pilot suits that block our magic, we shouldn’t be able to operate multipurpose humanoid heavy machinery.

So how is she able to get in and operate it?

Did she disable the limiter?

Or have modern Devils learned to completely control the release of their magic power?

From what I could see, it didn’t look like that was the case.

Hmm.

Well, whatever.

It’s not something I need to worry about.

By the way, third place went to an artificial lifeform named Yoru.

Apparently, she had completely wrecked a piece of multipurpose humanoid heavy machinery a little while ago, so she was operating it extremely carefully.

It was kind of adorable.

The food served at the martial arts tournament.

Delicious.

It’s probably because they used the autumn harvest.

Maybe they put more effort into it than usual too?

So it’s also a celebration for the pregnancies.

I see.

Ah, this white stuff is delicious.

Tofu?

Oh.

Is this what you call a condiment?

The green onions and ginger are nice.

Of course, soy sauce is essential.

Yeah.

Without it, this would be a little difficult to eat.

-0-

Maybe because there are pregnant women, the area where alcohol was being served was separated from the rest.

There were a lot of Elder Dwarves.

They were discussing the development of alcohol that pregnant women could drink, and even alcohol that children could drink.

You probably shouldn’t do that.

I mean, why?

Who are you going to have try it first?

If it fails, things could get really bad.

The Elder Dwarves should just forget about difficult things, make weapons and alcohol like they always do, drink, and sing.

The Elder Dwarves I know were always like that.

Ah, I’m not very good with alcohol, either.

I’ll have mine mixed with juice.

Just a little alcohol is enough for me.

I’m not as tough as you Elder Dwarves.

I received hush money from someone claiming to be the chief of the Angels.

It wasn’t hush money?

Just a token of friendship?

Well, whatever.

Don’t worry, don’t worry.

I won’t talk about the Godkins anymore.

It’s fine if the angels who hear about it just hold their heads in frustration, but depending on the situation, they might try to silence me.

And escaping will be difficult….

Ah, no, I’m not asking for more hush money.

I’m just complaining.

Don’t worry about it.

Through village chief, I was introduced to Beezel of the Demon King’s Kingdom.

Apparently, he can use teleportation magic, so I might be going there someday.

Beezel is apparently one of the important officials in the Demon King’s Kingdom.

I wonder if he might be a descendant of someone I knew?

Though Beezel seems really scared of me.

Could it be that someone told him about me?

「T-the first empress of the Devil Empire and…」

Ah, that.

It’s called an empire, but it wasn’t anything that grand.

The various countries asked me to put them under my protection against the devils who do whatever the heck they wanted, and I agreed. Before I knew it, people had started calling it an empire.

I didn’t actually do anything.

I left the administration of the empire to the smart people who had gathered from the various countries.

Also, first empress… There’s a second emperor?

I didn’t know about that.

Beezel didn’t know either, so he asked Bulga, who was nearby, and found out that the second emperor was Gucci.

Since when?

Was it while I was sealed away?

I hope he didn’t do anything terrible.

According to Bulga, he followed what I had been doing and left the administration to the council… Well, if that’s the case, I guess it’s fine.

Anyway, that’s about the extent of my relationship with the empire.

There’s no need for Beezel to be afraid of me.

I told Beezel that we should get along.
