Chapter 786 – Preparation for the Parade Outside and an Unfamiliar and Suspicious Creature

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The day after the village parade.

Around noon, when the clean up of the banquet was almost over.

The ghost knights and lions from the hot springs introduced the unfamiliar and suspicious creature with them to me.

The unfamiliar and suspicious creature looked like a skeleton.

It looked similar to a ghost knight but it was a little over 3 meters tall, which is twice as tall as a ghost knight.

It’s around the height of a titan.

Because of its size, its bones are naturally bigger.

It also has three big faces, six hands, and four feet.

Three faces and six arms, so an Asura?

No, asura has two legs so it’s not an asura.

It’s bones too.

The whole upper body of asura is bone and the lower body is……what’s that?

They structurally look like human legs but each of the four legs is facing in different directions.

I doubt it can walk straight with those feet but it walks with no problem.

No, well, it’s a wonder how bones can walk so I guess it’s already too late to say anything.

Magic sure is amazing.

It seems strange that this unfamiliar and suspicious creature had recently arrived at the hot springs and started living with the ghost knights and lions.

They decided that they would report it to me at the village parade.

I see.

Well, there is no need to rush when it comes to reporting.

The fact that the ghost knights and lions brought it here means it’s not dangerous.

So, ehto……what’s your name?

No name?

Vague memory?

You found yourself buried in the ground?

You were stuck there for a long time and managed to get out because of a landslide?

You have gone through a lot of hardship.

Yeah, I don’t object to you settling down there.

However, are you okay with the hot spring?

Is that so? I see.

However, we will not tolerate laziness.

I’m sure you already know but, you’ll have to work.

Like the ghost knights and the lions, you must ensure the safety of the hot spring resort.

Let’s work together from now on.

Ehto……

It’s inconvenient that you don’t have a name.

I can call you whatever I want?

Okay.

Let’s go with……

Asura.

Sorry for the lack of twist.

-0-

Asura returned to the hot spring with the ghost knights.

I wish you all the best.

………..

However, isn’t it pitiful seeing it’s only bones?

That also means it is naked………

Perhaps we should ask Gutt’s group to make some armor and helmets for Asura.

Hnn?

The spiderlings came over with their legs up saying it’s already fine.

You’ve already given it a costume?

Ah, good.

Thanks.

However, it doesn’t have any weapons, so you want me to ask Gutt for it?

Right, we need to give it weapons to keep it safe.

Alright, I’ll ask them.

What kind of weapon did you say it wants?

A slightly curved sword(scimitar)?

Got it.

Alright, I’ll ask Gutt to make one…..six?

I see. Six scimitars.

Alright.

However, it will take time to get that many.

For the time being, I’ll just ask for swords sold in Village Five.

They are not bad weapons.

I’ll call Youko and have her get them ready as soon as possible.

I told that to the spiderlings and returned to my residence.

Well, the parade in the village was over.

I wanted to continue with the parade outside but it could not be done immediately due to adjustments.

I heard from the demon king, Youko, and Miyo in Shashaato City that they wouldn’t make us wait ten days…..

Well, I think I should assume that it will be in 10 days.

Yeah, I guess things like this would usually take 10 days to prepare.

If we are lucky, 9 days.

That’s how it is.

There is no need to rush the parade outside but I don’t want the festive mood to continue forever.

Balance is important in all things.

I am also worried about the health of the mountain elves.

They took a rest right after the parade in the village but now they are dismantling the tower that stopped working during the parade and are trying to find out the cause of the problem.

They also took the prototype towers and carriages that we had previously made and are thinking of ways to improve them.

Considering the mountain elves, it would be better to delay the parade outside but I’m sure they will pour as much time as they have.

The shorter the period of recklessness, the better.

SO, it will be a good thing that it was scheduled to be held in ten or nine days.

Besides, they will make it in time. If they don’t, we’ll just use the regular carriages.

Come to think of it, I’m a little worried that those who are staying to participate in the parade outside might get tired of waiting.

The wyverns are mainly waiting near Village Five.

For now, I didn’t receive any problem report.

They seem to be refraining from hunting so that they don’t wreak havoc around Village Five.

I’d better make sure to bring them a moderate amount of food then.

Also, the unicorns are participating in the parade outside.

They are suppressing their joy of having their horns cured and are staying put quietly in the ranch area.

Unicorns are usually free and unrestrained but those with broken horns become timid and retreat to the depths of the forest.

Even if their horns are healed, it is said that their condition won’t be cured.

It is quite unusual to see energetic unicorns together with horses.

However, the beastgirls, who were taking care of them, reported that some of them were being too restless.

We’ll have to watch them carefully.

Well, some of the tougher individuals are hoping to settle in this village.

We’ll have to think about expanding the ranch area.

The next day.

Ria and the other high elves were standing in line in front of me at the entrance of my mansion.

「Well then, we’re off」

Ria saluted to me and the other high elves followed suit.

They are heading for Village Five.

It was Youko’s request.

They needed help in building a space for people who’ll watch the parade outside.

The high elves became good friends with the carpenters when they were constructing the shrine in Village Five so when the carpenters asked for their help, Ria and the others gladly agreed to help.

I appreciate that you want to help but please don’t take it too hard.

Also, be prepared for the fact that you will probably be asked to do some extra work.

Incidentally, most of the civil servant girls have already moved to Village Five.

It seems that the starting point for the parade outside will be at the mountain shrine near Village Five and they are making final adjustments for the performance to be held there.

Frau is still in the village since Yuri is the one managing the site.

If you have spare time, it will be great if you check the situation there.

「Affirmative」

Ria and her team left for Village Five.

…….

The mountain elves followed them to Village Five.

They realized that even if they completed the carriage in Big Tree Village, they would still need time to transport them to the shrine.

They would stay at the shrine and make it there until the very last minute.

Well, fortunately, the shrine has a lot of available lodgings.

They will have no trouble finding a place to live.

I hope that they don’t cause trouble for the silver foxes though…..

Hmm……..

Do we need to send someone to cook?

Since Ann and Ramurias are pregnant and can’t move, it is difficult to dispatch the oni maids.

I think I’ll go check on them from time to time.
