Isekai Nonbiri Nouka-Novel

-Torain’s POV-

I am Torain.

I am an oni male born in Big Tree Village.

It has been a while since I started assisting Metora-san at the academy in the royal capital of the Demon King’s Kingdom.

I think I now have a grasp of what Alfred-oniisama, Ursa-anesama, and Tiselle-anesama are doing even a little.

What I didn’t expect was Tiselle-anesama.

I thought she would quickly decide on everything but when Big Tree Village is involved, she would consult others.

The people she’s consulting are Alfred-oniisama, Ursa-anesama, Metora-san, Asa-san, and Earth-san.

These are the people she lives with.

Recently, I, Maa, and Kierbit-san joined them.

I must admit that there are things about Tiselle-anesama that are concerning but now that she’s consulting us, I will respond firmly.

Depending on the timing of her consultation, Gol-niisan, Sil-niisan, and Bron-nissan as well as Uncle Demon King and the school principal, Uncle Beezel, and Uncle Glatts join in.

Tiselle-anesama seems to be more cautious in things related to Big Tree Village than I thought.

And again, this time, Tiselle-anesama brought me to a consultation meeting.

The people present are me, Alfred-oniisama, Ursa-anesama, and Kierbit-san.

Metora-san and Maa are also present but they are preparing dinner.

I thought of helping with dinner too but Metora-san told me to stay there for Tiselle-anesama’s consultation.

I’m perfectly fine with that but I’d like to inform you that I wasn’t chased off the kitchen because I can’t help with dinner.

Now.

The topic of Tiselle-anesama’s consultation was the trials given by Bareback-dono, who she wanted to draw to her nation building project.

She would like to discuss how to deal with the trials, which involves the store that father runs.

……….

Wouldn’t it be easier to just tell father honestly what’s going on?

Father will surely not refuse.

Or so I thought but the problem was one of the trials involved an item that can only be bought in the stall that father personally operates.

If it had been something that father would just need to order, Tiselle-anesama wouldn’t even bother telling us about it.

However, what she needed was the stall the father himself is operating which means she must ask him to come.

That is something Tiselle-anesama is very resistant to do.

It seems like she doesn’t want to bother father more than expected.

Alfred-oniisama, who couldn’t bear to see his little sister Tiselle acting like that, said that he’ll be the one who’ll send a lighthearted letter of request to father.

「Right, come to think of it, isn’t Bareback someone that mother marked?」

Alfred-oniisama asked Tiselle-anesama.

「Yes, that’s right. I even received a letter from Mother Loo that everything’s alright but……should I stop inviting him?」

「No, that’s not what I meant. Mother said that he liked to drink, right?」

「She said he used to drink a lot at Niz’s Alcomeat in Village Five.」

「Right. He preferred drinking to eating. However, he didn’t include any alcohol in his trial. I wonder if there’s some meaning to it.」

「Now that you mentioned it.」

While Alfred-oniisama and Tiselle-anesama were thinking about it, Kierbit-san commented.

「I don’t think he’s the type that would ask a little girl to buy him alcohol.」

Ah.

Right.

「Well then, let’s ask Donovan-san to arrange some drinks.」

「You’re going to prepare it even though it’s not part of the trial?」

「If you do only what you are told, it will still be difficult to break the other party, right? I have to do more than I was told.」

「……that’s true too.」

Seeing Alfred-oniisama convinced, Tiselle-anesama began to write a letter to Donovan-san.

In addition, she also sent letters to Youko-san in Village Five where Kuro and Yuki and Korin’s Sweet Temple are located and Miyo in Shashaato City where Marla is located.

It seems like she doesn’t mind bothering anyone other than father.The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the ɴovelꜰɪre.ɴet

Alfred-oniisama started to write a letter for father, beside Tiselle-anesama, while consulting Ursa-anesama and Kierbit-san.

Dinner is served.

The main course is a fish dish.

To be precise, grilled fish.

………

I gently pull my plate of grilled fish in front of me and push it to Maa.

Oh, don’t get me wrong.

It’s not like I don’t like grilled fish.

Honestly speaking, I like it.

It’s just that I’m not very good at removing little bones from grilled fish.

Yeah, I just can’t.

It irritates me.

Before, I didn’t even mind eating the flesh together with the small bones but one time, a bone got stuck on my throat……

I was saved by Flora-san’s magic but since then, I tried not to eat even the smallest bone as much as possible.

And fortunately, Maa is good at removing bones from grilled fish.

Thus, I rely on Maa.

As father used to say, “Don’t force yourself to do something you are not good at.”.

It is better to leave it to those who are good at it than to force yourself to do what you are not good at.

In short, what I’m doing is not embarrassing at all.

Ursa-anesama said I’m such a kid but I don’t mind.

I need to make an effort to overcome my difficulties but I will do my best to do so when I eat alone.

When eating with many people, it is more important not to make those around me uncomfortable.

Also, why should I mind that when we’re all family here?

That’s right desu yo ne.

Thus, I don’t mind asking Maa at all.

Hnn?

What is it, Kierbit-san?

Why are you smiling like that?

If you have something to say, please do so.

Early next morning.

We asked the Goroun Company to deliver the letters for father and the others.

We have teleportation gates so we can take them ourselves and if we want to, we could even meet them in person instead of sending letters……

However, our mothers have told us that we should use other means of communication as much as possible in non-urgent cases.

The point is to practice letter communication.

Teleportation gates are not available everywhere.

So, we must not be too dependent on them.

After asking the Goroun Company to deliver the letters, we also asked the Dalfon Company to deliver letters to father and the others.

Yes, the same letters.

Sending letters through multiple routes is just a normal and correct way of practice when sending letters.

Because of the content of the letters, father’s letter too is addressed to Youko’s mansion in Village Five.

I think it’s almost certain if we leave it to the Goroun Company and Dalfon Company because they are the biggest companies out there but we will still send the letter through another route as a precaution.

Through a small wyvern.

It was prepared for Yuri-san, the daughter of Uncle Demon King, when she was living in the royal castle but now is being utilized by Uncle Demon King himself since Yuri-san left the royal castle.

We were able to take advantage of that.

I think compared to the Goroun Company and the Dalfon Company, who would use the teleportation gates, I think the small wyvern delivery would be the slowest to arrive but the time difference isn’t a bad deal thinking that it’s a countermeasure against trouble.

Eh?

Small wyverns use the teleportation gates too?

Once they were taught, they would learn how to use it?

But, you have to stand in line when using teleportation gates, right?

They can stand in line?

He-hehh.

W-well, as long as they can get the letter, that doesn’t matter.

The small wyvern reminded me of the big wyverns who participated in the parade.

After the parade, about half of the big wyverns went back to their own territory but half of them stayed behind.

They stayed to help Tiselle-anesama to build her country.

They are offering their help because they are concerned about their inability to play a role against the skeletal whale fiasco that took place during the parade.

If you ask me, I think Gramps Dors and the others went all out so no one else had a chance to do something……

As for the help they would give to Tiselle-anesama, she asked them to scout and secure the area where they planned to build the country.

Thus, the remaining big wyverns are building nests between the Demon King’s Kingdom and the human kingdoms.

I don’t think they will stay long enough to build a nest but I heard that it is time for them to start breeding.

……

I think it would have been better for them to go back to their own territory but I didn’t say so.

Incidentally, there was an opinion that sending big wyverns between the Demon King’s Kingdom and the human kingdoms might be thought of as an act of hostility or provocations by the human kingdoms but Uncle Demon King said don’t mind it so I didn’t.

Besides, since we would later build a city there, there was no point in being concerned about it.

Noon of the day we sent the letters.

One of the staff assisting Tiselle-anesama in building her country asked me a question.

「I heard you will be preparing rare and delicious food to gain a collaborator in nation building. Will we also be able to join?」

Where did you get that information?

Was it from Uncle Demon King?

Wherever it is, don’t ask me.

Ask Tiselle-anesama.

Well, if it’s a banquet using those stores, I don’t think Tiselle-anesama would refuse but father is involved.

Moreover, the current number of staff cooperating at this stage is……more than a hundred.

In order not to cause trouble for father, Tiselle-anesama would probably refuse.

Or so I thought but she agreed.

That’s right.

The staff are already part of us.

Tiselle-anesama has a soft spot for her underlings.

I even saw a rare sight of Tiselle-anesama crying to Alfred-oniisama.

Wait a minute.

Alfred-oniisama?

What’s happening?

Eh?

The principal offered a place to set up stalls?

Furthermore, all the teachers and cafeteria staff have offered their full cooperation?

Yuri-san’s words made them invite themselves to join us?

Did she exaggerate about the food?

No, she didn’t even have to.

And since all the school staff will go, the students will surely go too even if you don’t invite them, right?

Doesn’t this mean that the number of serving you asked from father and the others won’t be sufficient?

Yeah, everything is insufficient, as expected.

What are you going to do then?

A plan?

Eh?

From me?

In this case, isn’t it better to ask Ursa-anesama, who gets stronger the bigger the adversity is, than me, who has little experience?

Ursa-anesama, do you have any suggestions?

「Don’t think too hard. If you ask father to bring as many as you can, and if we secure Bareback’s share first, you just have to tell everyone that everything is first come first serve.」

However, that would cause complaints from those who can’t get their hands on the food……

「You can just ask the Goroun Company or the Dalfon Company to fill the shortage of ingredients. I think it would be a good idea to ask Uncle Glatts to send the army cooks to help too. Let’s make it looks like a small festival.」

I-I see.

「In addition, this would be a good time to announce Tiselle’s official member formation and even a policy briefing. I think we could use that as the main attraction of the festival.」

I see.

That would also give the festival its name.

The funds for the festival can also be secured from Tiselle-anesama’s nation building budget.

You’re so awesome, Ursa-anesama.

I wish I would be able to come up with plans like you.

「Fufufu. I have one job for Torain who’s looking at me with great respect.」

What is it?

「I want you to prepare a proposal for the festival.」

Eh?

「Also, you need to get permission from the principal to hold the festival, brief the participants, and coordinate the schedule.」

Wait.

Wait a minute, Ursa-anesama.

That doesn’t sound like one job.

「It’s because Kierbit-san will help you out. Good luck.」

Eh, where are you going, Ursa-anesama?

「Forest! I was invited to hunt for some big preys! Perhaps I can get some ingredients for the food we’re going to serve at the festival!」

Ursa-anesama took a big weapon and left.

The only ones left there were Alfred-oniisama, Tiselle-anesama, and me.

Ah, Kierbit-san barged in with a reply letter from father.

I silently cooperated with Alfred-oniisama and Tiselle-anesama to secure Kierbit-san.

No, I think she will help me if I ask her.

Just in case.

TN: Since sensei did not write ending conversations, let me write one. You can just skip it since its fan made.

Demon King: Anee, I’m here to visit you.

Anee: Kibsley, perfect timing. Can you read Yuri’s letter while I’m working here?

Demon King: Okay. “I heard about Grandfather Bareback’s trial to Tiselle. He really knows his food. Let me tell you about the ramen first. You won’t believe the ramen experience I had when I ate it! I stumbled upon a place that serves what I can only describe as “The Most Mind-Blowing Ramen in the Universe.” So, picture this:just walking into Village Five’s ramen street, and the aroma hits me like a freight train of deliciousness. I kid you not; it was like the scent of heaven wafting through the air. The anticipation was palpable! Now, the noodles… Oh mother, the noodles! They were an absolute revelation. Perfectly cooked, with just the right balance of chewiness and tenderness. It was like a noodle-lover’s dream come true. Each slurp was an adventure in texture, and I found myself lost in a world of noodle ecstasy. But the broth! This was no ordinary broth. It was like a magical elixir, a potion of pure umami joy. I can only imagine that it must have been crafted by a ramen wizard in some secret culinary lair. With every spoonful, I felt like I was sipping from the holy grail of broths. Now, let’s talk about the toppings. They were the crowning jewels of this masterpiece. The great boar pork was so tender it practically melted in my mouth, and the soft-boiled egg had a yolk as golden as the sun. The fresh, crisp veggies added a perfect crunch to every bite. It was like a culinary dream team working together in perfect harmony. In all seriousness, you’ve got to try this ramen. It’s not just food; it’s a taste adventure of epic proportions. It’s the kind of meal that makes you question if you’ve truly lived before tasting it. I promise you, mother, your taste buds will be singing with joy, and you’ll be reminiscing about this ramen for a long time. It’s the most mind-blowing bowl of ramen I’ve ever had, and I can’t wait to go back for more!

(Letter talks the other four food in the same way)

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to taste them because you don’t leave the school. Your lovely daughter, Yuri.

Anee:……

Demon King:

Anee: Is she exaggerating?

Demon King: No, I tasted some of those and I can confirm she’s telling the truth.

Anee: I see. Call Tiselle here, now.

Demon King: Anee, calm down. How about I get them for you?

Anee: Call her now.

Tiselle: Hello Principal, you called for me?

Anee: Yes. It’s about the trial you’re undergoing. Bareback is my grandfather and you’re my precious students, so I just can’t let you do that trial somewhere, right? Why don’t we do it here in the academy? I’ll let you use a place on the school grounds where you can set up stalls for trial foods. It’s very safe here for both of you and I can even stand as a witness that you completed the trials. Don’t worry I’ll lend you the chefs and teachers for that event. Alright, you can go now.

Tiselle: But….

Anee: Don’t worry, I’ve already told everyone about it so I leave the rest to you.

Tiselle: Oniisama, waaaaaa

Alfred: That happened? What do we do now?

Torain: Right.

Tiselle: Torain, think of something.

Torain: Why me?

Tiselle: Aren’t you supposed to be my butler? It’s your time to shine!

Torain: Eh!

Kierbit: Hey, I got a letter of reply from village chief for you.

Everyone: Excuse me miss, would you like to hear about our lord and savior Jesus Christ?
