Chapter 785 â Ultra High Speed Village Parade (3)
The parade has temporarily stopped due to the trouble of changing the thing I ride but it was soon resumed.
Following the tower I was riding were three more towers with the village children riding them with the center being occupied by Alfred, Ursa, and Tiselle.
I can also see E3 on a tower.
E3 must have been told to do so by Ursa because she had refrained from riding a tower.
I also saw Hitoe, Youkoâs daughter.
Itâs good to see that she seems to be getting along well with everyone.

Behind them, the oni maids wearing white chef outfits are riding a tower.
Since they are not dressed in their usual maid uniforms, it looks quite refreshing.
Several carriages filled with food and supplies followed.
It was probably the big wild boar we hunted earlier this morning, but it looked a little too fresh.
Behind the carriages were a group of dwarves and several more carriages filled with barrels of wine.
The dwarves are in a position to be on the lookout for the carriages of food and wine but it seems like they were heavily guarding the barrels of wine more.
At least thatâs what I see from where I am.
Well, I donât really care because thereâs no way we will be attacked here.

Following the dwarvesâŠ..
A group of humans from Village One.
A group of minotaurs from Village Two.
A group of centaurs from Village Three.
A group of devils and dream demons from Village Four.
They are marching and performing beautifully as if they are showing the results of their practice.
âŠâŠâŠ.
The dream demons from Village Four.
Couldnât they have done something more about their costumes?
I donât think less cloth means emphasizing on ease of movement.
Also, I donât think that string is a good idea.
Ah, they were forcibly given with haori by the devils of Village Four.
Well done.

Following the groups from the four villages were a carriage with the phoenix chick Aegis, Eagle, Swan, and Black Swan.
Incidentally, both the phoenix chick Aegis and Swan insisted on leading the parade but their wishes were not fulfilled. They were causing a ruckus until they realized they had been waved to a prominent position in the outside parade.

After them are the group of ghost knights and lions from the hot spring.
âŠâŠ.
Thereâs an unfamiliar weird creature, or rather, bones with themâŠ..
It seems to be a new companion of the ghost knights.
Theyâll introduce it to me later.

A group of lizardmen.
The lizardmen are marching with their four meter long spears but the tips of their spears are almost always in perfect alignment.
They must have trained hard.
At the end of the line were the spiderlings who had not joined Zabutonâs group.
The smaller spiderlings were marching on top of bigger spiders like Makura.
I can also see Red Armor and White Armor.
Hnn?
Itâs amazing how they improvised and weaved webs to make flags.
Big tree and spider?
Thatâs cool, isnât it?
However, even if you weave a lot of flags, thereâs no place to display themâŠ.
Ah, they put them on the end of the lizardmenâs long spears.
It must have been a planned action because the lizardmen didnât even have to stop.
The lizardmen with flagged spears walked faster and came around my tower.
Ah, the flags arenât just designed with big tree and spiders.
Each race is woven together with the big tree which includes big tree and dragon, big tree and inferno wolf, big tree and angel, and big tree and high elf.
It captures the characteristics of each race.
Well done.
I waved at the spiderlings from a distance and continued the parade.

That is this yearâs parade.
Thereâs no participation of the demon king, Village Five, or even Michael-sanâs group from Shashaato City, who are usually present.
They are busy with the parade outside.
Only Glatts, who marched with the minotaurs of Village Two, is here.
Is it alright for him to be here though?
Well, I guess thatâs not for me to worry about.
Youko could have joined in but she didnât because she was worried about Village Five.

After the parade paraded along the designated route, we disbanded in the order in which we arrived at the square.
This yearâs parade was not flashy.
They said they would save the flashiness for the parade outside.
The only ones who complained are the angels(Kuudel) which means no problem.

After the parade, a barbeque was held using the food that had been unloaded from the carriages filled with food that had been escorted by the dwarves.
Of course, ingredients that were not on the carriage were also used.
Putting them on the carriage was just a show.
The oni maids in chef outfits are cooking the food with great skills.
There are several large pots so it looks like there will be dishes other than barbeque.
The beastkins and lamias are helping out too.
They are very helpful.
Then, shouldnât those who are free prepare the table?
The spiderlings will take care of the decorations?
The lizardmen requested for a big bonfire to be set in the center of the square.
Kuro and the others are watching the perimeter.
The sun will go down soon.
I know, Iâll make sure to save some for you.
âŠdwarves.
Itâs true that we will drink the barrels of alcohol loaded in the carriage but that doesnât mean we have to drink them all.
Dragons, please donât drink in your dragon forms.
The alcohol will be gone in no time.
Also, youâre in the way so change back to your humanoid form.
And mountain elves.
Yeah, I know youâve been working hard.
I know that you even stayed up all night.
Just relax.
You can go to sleep.
You want to eat first before going to bed?
Well, thatâs fine, but take it easy.
You can reflect and redesign tomorrow.
If you do that while you are sleep deprived, you wonât be able to work efficiently.
Ah, and by the way.
Let me tell you something.
If youâre going to the parade outside, join the march.
Donât say that you are better suited to working behind the scenes.
The civil servant girls will be in the outside parade too.
âŠâŠ.
Iâm glad youâre open to participating but I donât think that you can make any more modifications to the carriage youâre going to ride.
I want you to rediscover the goodness of being normal.
Well, letâs talk about the details tomorrow.
If you want to eat, stay out of the way of the preparations.
Civil servant girls, take a rest too.
Youâll be busy again with the parade outside, wonât you?
At least take a break now.
No, well, Iâll take care of itâŠ..
Yeah, youâve been a great help.
No?
EhtoâŠ.
I expect a lot from you!
Is this how I should do it?
Hahaha, I know it doesnât suit me.

This yearâs village parade went off without a hitch and the banquet continued until the next morning.
