Isekai Nonbiri Nouka

Chapter 412

Ria’s mother will come to the village .

It was Bron, who’s in the demon king’s kingdom’s school, who found her and Beezel will send her here .

It was sudden but we must prepare in order not to be rude .

Ria’s group has been helping me a lot after all .

It would be nice if all of them meet their mothers too .

… .

Why are Ria and the other preparing for battle?

And they are quite serious .

Hnn?

I think Beezel will come from the south side of the village as usual .

Build a camp on the south side of the village?

I don’t mind but it’s still winter .

Isn’t it cold?

Then, I’ll… . . ah, you want me to wait at my mansion?

Okay .

Is this some sort of high elf ritual in welcoming a mother?

Ria’s mother, who came to greet me, was in tatters .

Did Ria’s group do it?

No .

Ria is in tatters too .

This kind of tatters… . can only be made by the kuros .

From a while ago, they have been looking at me like they want me to praise them .

I’ll do so when the greeting is over .

「Rigune, head warrior of the Riff clan . 」

「I’m the village chief, Hiraku-desu . 」

The greeting ended normally .

It was short because Ria took Rigune to the bath .

Both of them are in tatters .

Let’s talk about the full story at dinner .

As Ria and Rigune headed to the bath, the kuros came as expected .

I praised them .

However, I never thought that Rigune and Malbit knew each other .

If you have lived a long life, you indeed can get to know more people .

Is she acquainted with Loo and Tier too?

Only rumors?

Is that so?

Perhaps Rigune is a famous person?

Oohh, I’m sorry .

I was rough in praising you .

Okay .

Let’s start over .

Well done .

… . .

I praised them because they wanted me to praise them but why did they even fight with Rigune?

Night .

At dinner, we eat at the same table as Ria’s mother, Rigune .

Loo, Tier, and Ria are present .

I wish Ririus would sit with me .

……

That reminds me, I heard from Ria before that she’s someone of a sister or cousins with Risu, Riri, Rifu, Rikoto, Rize, and Rita .

Doesn’t that mean that Rigune has other daughters?

I asked her .

「Riri and Rita are also my daughters, adopted daughters to be specific . They are likely holding back . 」

「Is that so?」

When I looked at Riri and Rita at a table a little away, they sent me a signal saying not to worry about it .

If the persons themselves are okay with it, I guess there’s no problem… .

Maa, they’ll probably talk tonight .

Let’s give them alcohol .

The talk during the meal was centered on Rigune and Ria .

「I have looked for them for a hundred years . I never thought that they would run into the forest of death . 」

「I have no choice since we have to shake off those who are chasing us . I’m sorry . 」

「I’m the one who should apologize . I’m sorry . 」

「No . 」

I thought that the atmosphere was going to be heavy but Ria changed the topic immediately .

「Speaking of which, I heard from Bron that mother was in a ruin? Was there a ruin in Rita forest?」

Rita forest is the forest north of the school where Bron and the others are attending .

I heard that Ria’s clan used to live in a village there .

「You likely don’t know because you were still children back then . That’s the ruin that the clan managed . I come there every now and then to hunt monsters and demon beasts or they will turn it into their nest . I don’t know what kind of facilities there are at that place though . 」

「So, mother has been managing the ruins all this time?」

「Because it is the role of our clan . Not these last 50 years though . I left it alone for a long time so a lot of monsters and demon beasts had entered . It was hard to kill them all and most of the moss cultivated in the ruins was also destroyed . It will be hard to restore it . 」

「Moss?」

「Yeah . Hair gloss moss . 」

Hearing her answer, Loo reacted .

「If it’s okay with you, can you tell us how to cultivate it?」

「It’s a secret of our clan . I want to say but… . . I don’t mind . The clan already belongs here, right?」

Rigune looks at me to confirm so I nod .

Then, Tier hit me under the table .

「Say your line . 」

Is it not enough to nod?

Ah, I’ll say it .

In fact, Loo, Tier, and Ria had prepared several lines in advance depending on the situation .

「The high elves are an important family that makes up our Big Tree Village . 」

Is that all right?

I got an OK sign from Tier .

Good .

As for Rigune, she’s… . crying!

「I would like to thank you for giving my whole family a place where they can live in peace . 」

A-aren’t you exaggerating?

No, they have had a hard life before .

It seems like Ria and the other have always been living in camps until they joined us .

「I hope Rigune-san can live in this village too . 」

「Thank you for the invitation . I would be happy to be a member of the village . However, I think my work is not here but at the school of the demon king’s kingdom . 」

「The school? The one the Bron and the others are attending?」

「Yes . I was invited by Bron-kun . I can also manage the ruins from there . Of course, as a member of Big Tree Village, I will not embarrass you and if there’s any crisis in the village, I will rush back . 」

No, you don’t have to be so enthusiastic .

But can’t we live together?

It’s a bit disappointing .

However, since Gol, Sil, and Bron are at the school, it would be helpful if she stays there, right?

Ria and the others will be lonely though .

… . .

Am I hallucinating? Ria seems to be happy .

At the table of the high elves a little away, cheers can be heard .

Areh?

「……however, I heard that school will start this spring . Until then, I would like to train the clan here . It will be for a short time but please take care of me . 」

Rigune’s words made Ria’s smile freeze .

Ah, I see .

She’s tough .

I heard that Ria’s training on Gomura is strict but it seems like Ria and the others hate training themself .

「Why don’t you join us?」

「Hahaha」

I’m interested but I’ll decline .

Ria, don’t look at me with a sly face .

It is almost spring so I have a lot of work to do .

Three days later .

A large scale defensive camp was constructed in the south of the village .

Rigune’s voice echoes .

「Slow! You should have built this place in a day . 」

「Y-yes! Sorry!」

The lined-up high elves answer together .

「Good . Now, start dismantling them . Complete it in half day . 」

「Eh?」

「It’s easier than building . Do it . If you can’t, you’ll be punished . What, it won’t be too hard . I’m just going to ask you to do a special little training I thought of . Since you trained in the forest of death, you wouldn’t have to worry about it . Ah, is that the penalty? It is but let’s add a mock battle . The opponent is… . the vice chief of the angels . She’s really good, you should enjoy it . Malbit? You want to fight someone who focuses on politics in a mock battle? Terrible . I hate it . But I want to make your wishes come true . Let’s negotiate . 」

The high elves seem to have strongly wished for spring to come .

It’s still too early for Ririus, Riguru, and Ratte to join .

It will also be cold if I visit their training .

I’ll just have the kids play with me .

Oh .

You called me father .

Hahahaha .

You don’t have to be shy .

Digression .

Hair gloss moss is a strange name .

Is it a medicine that cleans hair?

I asked Rigune .
