Isekai Nonbiri Nouka

Tiselle’s POV-

My name is Tiselle.

I am an angel girl born in Big Tree Village.

Currently, I’m in a room in the royal castle of the Demon King’s Kingdom.

I am in a room next to where my father and the others are having an evening meeting.

-0-

I know I’ve been accused of a lot of things but let me tell you this first.

I had nothing to do with the pickpocket who started the trouble.

It was really an accident.

I’m not covering for the pickpocket.

If you want to investigate, please do so thoroughly.

However, I want to complain.

I want to complain to my grandmother Ruincia who’s in front of me.

「Complain? About building a country?」

That was the proof of my defeat.

I accept it.

I will not complain.

My plan failed.

The pickpocket incident was not something I set up but I did make it so that there would be a battle after the swords exploded.

There was a possibility that there would not be a battle but given that father is involved, there was a good chance that things would escalate unexpectedly.

My plan was to take advantage of the parade to lift up father and make his existence known.

However, it didn’t work.

That can’t be helped.

It was because of father’s unexpected behavior but it was my fault for not anticipating it.

「Then, what are you complaining about?」

Are you playing dumb?

「I really don’t know. What is Tiselle so upset about?」

Mou.

Then, I’ll say it. Why didn’t the angels fight on the royal capital’s side?

I told you beforehand, didn’t I?

「When the battle starts, we will fight on the side that defends the royal capital to improve the image of the angels among the demons. By doing so, the response to Garret Kingdom will become moderate. Right, you informed us about it. The chief(Malbit) was also there when you did, didn’t she?」

Then, why!

Is it because some angels were hit?

The angels who were caught in the explosion were acting, right?

I heard they weren’t hurt.

They knew that there would be an explosion so they would have been cautious. Also, there is no way you’ll have them join the parade without telling them the possibility of being hit.

Acting should be a move to make my plan smoother.

That is to say, you were attacked by the attackers of the parade.

So, why?

Don’t tell me it’s because you didn’t reply.

I must admit, you only smiled when I asked you earlier but I took that as a positive answer and that you don’t want to be heard by anyone.

「Of course, that’s not the reason. When I heard what you said, I myself agreed with you. However, things have changed.」

Changed?

What exactly changed?

Don’t tell me it’s because we started earlier than scheduled because of the pickpocket?

No, you had time to act so that should have nothing to do with it.

………did something happen in Garret Kingdom?

「That’s not it.」

Then, why?

「You should know that us angels have many enemies. That’s exactly the reason why we went along with your plan. Considering the future, we want to make a good impression to the demons.」

Right.

「However, someone told us. “What is the point of getting on the other party’s good side on just one occasion? Shouldn’t you fight as enemies and reduce the hatred first?」

…….

「The angels also have their own personal views against the demons. Should we just forget about it and force them to swallow whatever’s inside them?」

……..

「The situation in Garret Kingdom will be difficult no matter how the Demon King’s Kingdom deals with it. The more kindly the demons’ response is, the more severe reaction the other human kingdoms will do. If that is the case, we shouldn’t prioritize the Garret Kingdom but the current state of the angels.」

Is that why you fought on the attacker’s side of the parade?

「Yes」

Who told you that!

「I’ll tell you if you guess it right.」

……

Think.

Who.

It shouldn’t be someone who doesn’t know that there will be a battle in the royal capital.

That means it can’t be father.

Is it mother……

Rather than siding with either of the two, she would prefer to be a 3rd force.

That’s how she is.

Mother Loo is the same.

Suarurou-san and Raz Maria-san weren’t there when I informed them.

No way, Kierbit-san!

「That person’s not an angel.」

…….

Eh?

Who then?

Flora-san?

That can’t be.

Flora-san doesn’t care what angels would do.

As long as it doesn’t affect Big Tree Village, she wouldn’t bother.

Mother Ria and Mother Senna are the same.

Mother Ann would be interested but she wouldn’t voice it out.

Is it Mother Hakuren or Mother Rasuti?

Their characters aside, they are dragons and will not say anything about the angels.

……those of the Big Tree Village are indifferent of it.

Right.

Since they are from the village, it doesn’t matter how the Demon King’s Kingdom treats the angels.

If that is the case, it should be someone who can go outside the village.

Youko-san and Miyo-san?

That can’t be.

Neither of the two would advise them to fight on either side.

They would suggest the angels to act as a referee and stop the battle instead.

It can’t be Gulf-san and Daga-san too.

They are battle guys.

Even if asked by father, they wouldn’t dare advise or even think about the future of angels.

……

Who then?

No way, Ur-nee?

No, Ur-nee is the same type as mother.

She’ll be a 3rd force.

Al-nii……

He’s the type that tries to take advantage of a situation and enjoys it no matter how bad the situation is.

I don’t think it is him because he tacitly approved what I was doing.

Metora-san?

It can’t be her too.

She’s a dragon.

She may restrict my actions as part of her job but she wouldn’t care what happens to the angels.

Earth doesn’t care if it doesn’t involve Ur-nee.

He won’t think about the angels at all.

Asa……

If you ask him about the angels, he will say something.

Without reservation.

Then, there are three people left, Gol-nii, Sil-nii, and Bron-nii….

They, like Asa, would say something about the angels if asked.

Unless they are influenced by their wives……

They might be working to protect their husbands but they would not go out of their way to advise about the angels.

Could it be that Sil-nii has an angel wife?

…….

They shouldn’t be it.

Yeah, they’re not.

Given that, it means there shouldn’t be any.

Areh?

No one……?

Ah, there is!

Gramps Ancestor-sama!

……

Is it him?

He might have thought of the angels but I don’t think he would go out of his way to advise them.

If he’s concerned about what’s going on in Garret Kingdom, he’ll tell Uncle Demon King about it first and do the rest diplomatically.

I don’t think he would say anything about a battle that may or may not happen.

Besides, he probably won’t predict that I instructed the angels to fight on the kingdom’s side……

「Who is your guess?」

………

No one.

「I’m glad you’re being honest. Do you want to hear the answer?」

Yeah.

「Fufufu. Tiselle still has a lot to learn. The first one you ruled out.」

First one?

Eh?

「It is your father, village chief, who told us that.」

……

Eh?

You mean he knew there was going to be a battle?

「It must have leaked from somewhere. You are spreading your hands too wide after all.」

Mou.

「In addition, parents think about their children more than you think. He must have investigated you when he heard you were doing something. Do you understand what I’m trying to say?」

That I shouldn’t let him know I’m doing something?

「That’s one thing but you shouldn’t worry your parents.」

Mou.

「You’re still a child. Learn from your mistakes.」

Yes.

「Ah, right right. Your instructions overlooked something important. So even without village chief’s advice, we will fight on the attacker’s side.」

Eh?

Huh?

Overlooked?

「Do you want to know what you overlooked?」

Forget about that, just tell me the answer!

「Fufufu. The inferno wolves desu. The inferno wolves launched their attack because we were attacked. If we stand on the royal capital’s side and fight the inferno wolves, even if managed to get on the good side of the demons, we will be in trouble in Big Tree Village.」

That won’t be a problem.

The kuros are smart enough to understand why the angels stood on the side of the royal capital.

「They are. However, the fact won’t change that we attacked them even though they were trying to help us. The higher ups like Kuro-dono and Kuroichi-dono may forgive us but there is no guarantee that everyone will. That would be fatal to the angels living in Big Tree Village.」

But……

「It is the angel’s characteristic to be lenient to one’s relatives but there is a big difference between that and being lenient just because you are a relative.」

Mou.

「Fufufu. Kierbit will be staying in the royal capital this year. Find time to ask her to teach you. She is outstanding enough to serve as the heavenly winged shrine maiden.」

I know.

I know that Kierbit-san is outstanding.
