Isekai Nonbiri Nouka - Chapter 832

Chapter 832 – Angel’s Council

The stench that Flora researched……no, excuse me.

There was a plan to weaponize that stinky food.

I thought Flora was joking and I didn’t expect that someone would actually take that seriously.

…….

Loo.

Well, since they are going to weaponize the smell, it would be like a security device.

I hope they will be careful to not accidently use it on the kuros.

While I was thinking of that, a prototype was quickly made.

It is a tube type weapon that can be used manually.

While at that stage, it doesn’t leak any kind of smell.

However, once the string is pulled, the tube twisted, or even broke, the stench will instantly spread.

We immediately started experimenting.

It was too dangerous to do this in the village so we moved deep into the forest.

The giant boar ran away.

The giant bear ran away.

The giant snake ran away.

……..

Isn’t this the strongest?

It didn’t work on Zabuton and the spiderlings though.

And of course, the kuros didn’t like it.

Ah, Loo, Loo.

Please don’t me the spiderlings carry tubes on their backs.

It makes the cute spiderlings look like evil weapons.

Practical use and mass production……those need to be considered.

It’s difficult to handle after all.

Without someone who can use smell-removing magic, the damage will increase.

It might be useful for avoiding demon beasts and monsters when walking in the forest but……

I don’t think those who need such things can stand the smell too.

You can make some of them but make sure they are stored securely.

And if you’re going to keep them in the basement, make sure they are completely covered.

Please.

One day in summer.

The angels gathered in a room of my mansion and had a big meeting.

All the angels of Big Tree Village…..

No, not really. The children, such as Aurora, Roze Maria, Laladel, and Tormane, aren’t there.

The rest of the angels have gathered.

 They gathered around a round table but as expected, not everyone can seat so Tier, Gran Maria, Kuudel, Corone, Suaruriu, Suarukou, Malbit, Ruincia, Raz Maria, Reginleif, and a few others are seated. The rest are standing around.

For some reason, I was invited to sit in on such a big meeting.

I thought they were going to discuss the traditional Garret Kingdom but I was wrong.

It was the hierarchical order of the angels.

When I say hierarchical order, I don’t mean the hierarchical order of the entire angel race in Big Tree Village but the hierarchical order of the angels who are living in Big Tree Village.

It seems like there was a bit of a trouble.

What’s troubling them?

If you ask me about the hierarchical order of the angles living in Big Tree Village, from my point of view, Tier would be……areh?

Malbit is the one in command of the angles more often than not.

Are they telling me that Malbit retired or something?

I haven’t heard any reports about that though.

「Of course, as the very first agnel who moved to this place, became village chief’s wife, Tiselle and Aurora’s mother, Tier is at the top of the list.」

Right.

Unlike usual, I nodded my head while Malbit was talking seriously.

「However, is Tier leading the angles? Is she able to do so? If you ask me, I would say no.」

Is….that so?

「I can honestly say that Gran Maria is doing a better job of leading the whole race.」

Ah, yeah, she’s certainly working hard.

「When we arrived here, Gran Maria left anything related to leadership to us and focuses on her own work.」

She did.

「That’s not a problem before since we used to go in this Village from the Angel Village in Garret Kingdom but now, we are recognized settlers of this village.」

Yeah.

「In that case, the representative of the angels in this village is none other than Tier even though if we use the former, Tier would be under us.」

So, what’s the problem?

「Confusion in the chain of command. When we and Tier’s opinions are in conflict, we don’t know which opinion should take precedence. Of course, if you ask me, Tier’s opinion should take precedence. However, we are the ones who are usually in command. Some will not listen to Tier’s command and ask for our opinion. In addition, instructions from village chief to the angel are given to Tier. The instructions will then be conveyed from Tier to us but there are inevitably differences in the exact nuances. This means that we cannot accurately carry out village chief’s instructions. Furthermore, the result of our actions is also communicated to Tier and then reported to village chief, however, the response is monopolized by Tier. We can’t even verify whether what we did were right or wrong.」

Sorry, I didn’t understand you very well because you spoke too fast.

Just give me the gist of it briefly.

「We can’t forgive Tier for making us do all the hard work while she lives in comfort!」

Eh?

I think you said something about the chain of command.

「That’s the whole point.」

Ah, I see.

Ehto, that’s the reason you’re having a big meeting.

「I apologize for taking up so much space in your mansion.」

No, no, it’s fine.

All the angels of Big Tree Village are gathered here.

However, since I was suddenly called to this big meeting, I haven’t received any explanation as to why I should be here.

「Don’t mind the small details.」

No no, that’s the part I’m concerned about.

「Then……please look at that.」

Malbit pointed at Tier.

She has been sitting in her seat since before I arrived but she hasn’t moved an inch.

Her eyes are closed and she is still.

She didn’t even react when Malbit pointed her finger at her.

……..

Is Tier mad or something?

「No, she’s just sleeping.」

Huh?

「She’s just sleeping. Even at big meetings like this, she will just sleep.」

No no no, she stays awake when there’s a meeting in the village.

She even freely says her opinions.

「Then, please call her out.」

Ah, yeah.

I called out Tier as Malbit requested.

……..

There was no response.

「She’s magically blocking external stimuli. Even against attacks……」

Malbit shoots something out of her finger to Tier. However, before it could hit her, it was blocked by something and fell down.

「Simple attacks can’t wake her up」

How do we wake up Tier then?

「We can either use a powerful attack to wake her up or a specific set of words. I would like to attack her but I think she has done some counter measures against it and there will also be damage to the surroundings. That means……we can only use words. Watch and see.」

Malbit gives a quick glance at Ruincia and starts talking.

「Alright. Today’s meeting is adjourned.」

The moment Mabit says so, Tier opened her eyes and said,

「That was a productive meeting. Please work hard according to what was discussed. Then, dismissed!」

Tier stood up, bowed, and was about to leave the room when…..she was caught by Ruincia who made her return to her seat.

「Eh? Areh? Village Chief? ……you didn’t tell me that village chief will be participating!」

Ignoring Tier, who was angry at being cheated, Malbit bowed to me and said “please”.

Understood.

Tier, I need to talk to you later.

「Eh? Ah, y-yeah.」

So, what about this big meeting?

Is it now adjourned?

「Of course not. Now that Tier is away, we will begin.」
