Isekai Nonbiri Nouka - Chapter 794: Parade Outside the Village, Shashaato City

-Demon King’s Kingdom’s Intelligence Agent’s POV-

The parade is going well.

I guess they have given it a lot of thought before reporting.

A pleasant thoughtfulness too.

My eyes are tearing.

Even so, I wish this report is accurate.

Because a wrong report leads to a wrong decision.

My name is Gigibel Rabelra.

I am a member of the secret agency that quietly exists in the Demon King’s Kingdom.

I have a good number of subordinates.

Incidentally, my father is the chief of the secret agency and my mother is the chief of staff.

My little brother and sister are also executives of the intelligence service.

We seem to be a family of secret agents but there is a reason for this.

This is because the intelligence agency of the kingdom has always been treated coldly.

The secret service does not gather good information.

It doesn’t return enough for the budget allocated.

It should be destroyed immediately.

Such voices were said without even bothering hiding it.

As for me, I wanted to say, “It is your problem if you can’t use the information we’ve gathered.”, “We don’t have much budget in the first place.”, and “There’s no point in trying to destroy us since we’re about to go out of business.”.

Fortunately, the agency continued to exist under the patronage of nobles who understood the importance of the existence of the agency.

However, the treatment did not improve.

Therefore, the intelligence agency craved for results.

If we were successful, we would not have to worry about the cost of our activities and personnel.

However, in intelligence, number is strength.

There is no way an intelligence agency that is treated coldly could attract people.

We had no choice but to get our own people involved and this is just what happened.

I was one of those involved.

If I could, I would have joined the royal guards, which is a very active and spectacular force.

Well, recently Count Chrome has invested a lot of money in the intelligence agency so we have been able to operate much more and get more results and we are no longer treated coldly too.

It is gradually improving to a good place to work.

I can’t be more grateful to Count Chrome.

Presently, I’m in Shashaato City for my job.

I’m at an open place on the outskirts of the city.

Spectators are gathering there to watch the parade.

I’m one of the people guiding them.

………

Areh? What’s going on? Where’s the intelligence? Is that what you think?

Me too.

In fact, a few days ago, the parade organizing committee cried for help because they were short on staff.

I couldn’t say no because there were many civil officials who had helped me when the intelligence agency was treated coldly.

In the meantime, we have our own work to do.

In this world, we need to help each other.

Yeah, mutual help.

With that in mind, I was guiding the parade spectators.

The parade is going smoothly.

I heard that there was some confusion in Village Five but it seems to be going well.

I’m glad to hear that.

It seems like quite a few residents of Village Five took part in the parade but most of them did not come to Shashaato City.

It is because it is unmanageable.

No, it is physically impossible.

It will take several days just to let them pass though the teleportation gate.

There is also the problem of where to eat and rest after passing through.

Therefore, the residents of Village Five participated only in Village Five.

The same is true here in Shashaato City.

The residents of Shashaato City will participate in the parade but only in Shashaato City.

I have been informed by the parade organizing committee that this has been negotiated.

As expected, the governor and the face officer will be there until the end of the parade.

While I was thinking about this, a loud vibration shook the ground.

It was the dragons.

They seemed to have flown from Village Five.

The vibration was the impact of their landing.

I had heard that the dragons will not use the teleportation gate but will move to the next destination via flying so I’ve already expected this.

Well, they are quite big and their majesty is astonishing……

From the backs of several dragons, angels fly off.

I instinctively grabbed my weapon but managed to calm myself down before attacking them.

The angels are also participants of this parade.

They are our allies.

I was ashamed that I had taken up weapons even though I had been told before.

However, weren’t angels supposed to use the teleportation gate to move around?

Looking at it closely, you will see that there are also harpies on the backs of the dragons.

Was there a problem in using the teleportation gate?

No, it’s the other way around.

In order to avoid problems, they must have traveled on the dragons’ back.

As if to confirm my prediction, the angels and harpies are moving to their prearranged waiting area.

There doesn’t seem to be any trouble.

Good.

It was not the time for me to be stunned either.

The appearance of the dragons and angels made the audience confused.

I had to control them.

I continued to speak out and lead the audience to calm down.

However, the audience did not calm down.

This was not my fault.

It’s the dragons’ fault.

Instead of moving to the waiting area, the dragons took an unexpected action.

They lined up side by side toward Shashaato City.

In other words, all the dragons were facing Shashaato City.

Why?

What are they doing?

I have a bad feeling about this.

Thud.

The dragons started walking.

Toward Shashaato City.

All of them at once.

As if they timed it perfectly.

Don’t tell me they’re going to go straight to Shashaato City?

Are they going to completely ignore the parade route?

Ugh, this is a lie…..

I suddenly had a vision of Shashaato City burning.

Shashaato City completely destroyed.

Shashaato City is not just a city.

It is a very important economic city of the kingdom.

Burnt to the ground?

The kingdom will be shaken.

N-no, wait.

Will the damage be limited to Shashaato City?

Ah, it could go all the way to the royal capital and…..

My out of this world imagination was drowned by a loud, heavy popping sound.

Popping sound?

W-what is that sound?

The source of the sound was the dragons.

Dragons’ fingers to be exact.

They were marching toward Shashaato City while snapping their fingers.

In rhythm.

And sometimes, one would step forward and do a solo play.

No……

No way…….

That’s….

Snap walking while snapping your fingers?

Oi oi oi oi oi, what a joke!

Are the dragons going to do a manner check on the residents of Shashaato City?

As a noble of the Demon King’s Kingdom, I know what the dragons are doing!

At the same time, I also understand what needs to be done.

Yes, we must line up in front of the dragons and fight back!

But, I can’t even move my body.

Against those dragons?

B-but, who will go if not me!

My body is trembling in a pitiful way.

Can’t move.

Can’t move.

I can’t move……

In my despairing ears, I heard a light snapping of fingers.

The sound was small.

But I heard it loud and clear.

It was the snapping of the fingers of a lone demon, blocking the march of dragons.

That demon was……

The pride of Shashaato City, a demon of the Demon King’s Kingdom.

Governor Ifrus!

「I’m not a talented man but I’ll be your opponent. Bring it on, dragons.」

On the outskirts of Shashaato City, a contest began between the dragons and Governor Ifrus.

The crowd cheered.

I, too, raised my arms, which had somehow become mobile and shouted.

Good luck, Governor Ifrus!
