Chapter 743: Story Of The Other Country
She said that the kingdom was divided into four factions.
The “obedient faction” that follows the will of the angels.
The “breakaway faction” that wishes to be free from the will of the angels.
The “hostile faction” that concluded that the angels who abandoned Garret Kingdom were enemies.
The “independent faction” that doesn’t care about the angels at all and only focuses on becoming a powerful country.
Or at least that’s how Kierbit describes it.
Ehto…..
So, the “obedient faction”, the one who’s maintaining the status quo, are gentle people
「They are. They are even thinking of following us to the Demon King’s Kingdom and founding their own independent state.」
They’re not.
They were radicals.
「By the way, they are the largest group.」
That makes things worse!
I don’t know how big Garret Kingdom is so I don’t know how many the “largest group” is but I’m sure it’s not a hundred or two.
Even though the country was divided, it is still a county so there should be in tens of thousands.
Anyone with eyes can see that migrating that many people would cause problems.
Even I can see that.
Village Five alone is very heavy to deal with when it was established.
People who wanted to migrate moved there from all over the country and problems due to differences in race and culture popped out one after another.
Thanks to Youko’s efforts, the problem in Village Five did not escalate…..
Would the Demon King’s Kingdom be able to accept the emigration or immigration of that level?
Well, given the Demon King’s Kingdom’s past actions, they will accept emigration as long as it was done according to the kingdom’s will even if it would be hard for them.
However, since they are thinking of founding their own independent nation after emigrating, the kingdom would not accept them.
That’s just a rebel force in the making.
Let’s contact the demon king…..no, before that, check the situation first.
What exactly is happening?
Have they already started moving?
「The angels related to the “obedient faction” are trying to stop them.」
Good.
Eh, but, what do you mean by related?
「They are the ones who voluntarily become related to them so you shouldn’t worry about them.」
I didn’t get what Kierbit had said so I looked at Tier. She told me that the ones she was talking about were the angels who are in a romantic relationship with them. Ruincia, who was standing beside me, told me that they were the ones who stayed behind.
「They were not able to get married due to the strict trial but they’ll be separated after 80 years of being together. The males are humans so you can think of it as their life expectancy….given that reason, they can’t leave them behind.」
I see.
「My apologies for interrupting. Kierbit-sama, please continue.」
Ruincia urged Kierbit to continue.
「The man is the uncle of the current king of Garret Kingdom. He is the younger brother of the previous king. He has a decent voice in Garret Kingdom and he’s basically the one who stops the “obedient faction”.」
He’s the one who’s stopping them?
「Us angels are basically advisors.」
So, the one in charge is actually the younger brother of the previous king?
Hnn?
Wait a minute.
Does that mean that when the younger brother of the previous king reaches the end of his lifespan, the “obedient faction” will start immigrating?
「I guess so.」
……s-should we supply him with leaves of the world tree?
「Thanks for your concern but the person in question only wants to live his normal lifespan. The angel partner has agreed to it and we can’t just do something to him because it would be more convenient for us, right?」
…..
You are absolutely right.
Reflect, me.
「Well, there is a more urgent problem than that.」
Urgent problem?
「The obedient faction has already started moving to the sea area in preparation for immigrating. They were stopped so they haven’t left the country yet but they are all on the east side of the country. The east side is already under the control of the obedient faction.」
Maa, that’s expected.
So, the urgent problem is getting in conflict with the natives in that area who were not part of their faction?
「There’s also that but….ehto」
Kierbit is reluctant to say it and starts looking around for help.
Unfortunately, the other angels around all turned their gazes away.
It seems like it will be Kierbit’s job to say it.
Kierbit seems to have given up.
「The place, or rather, the force that the obedient faction control….」
What?
「They’ve renamed themselves as Village Six Kingdom.」
…….
That’s not a very kingdom-like name.
「I know, right? Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha……」
Change it now.
「As expected.」
Of course.
To those who know, they’ll think that Big Tree Village is involved.
「But those who don’t will think that….it’s a kingdom that started with six villages.」
That may be so but I don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble.
This might be presumptuous for me to say since we’re talking about a country name but, Kierbit or Malbit has the power to change it, right?
I don’t want a country named “Village Six Kingdom”.
Have them change it.
「That’s why we have a favor to ask you…..」
Hnn?
A favor?
「As a matter of fact, we also thought that a country with that name reeks of trouble so we tried to order them to change it….」
You tried?
You mean you did not succeed?
「For example, just an example, what do you think about calling that country “Big Tree Village Kingdom”?」
Huh?
We’re talking about that part of Garret Kingdom which is under the control of the obedient faction, right?
I will not allow it.
It would be strange if I don’t say no.
Big Tree Village is important because it’s the name of this village.
Don’t use it like that.
「Of course. And that leads us to the request…….can you think of a name for that country?」
Me?
You mean I’ll name the new country that is founded by the obedient faction?
「Since you’re the one who ordered to change it, you should be the one to name it, right?」
Seriously?
「Given how the other party acts, I think there’s a high possibility that there will be dissatisfaction if they will be the ones who’ll name the country. Thus, I thought maybe we could impose the name of the country from here. However, it still depends on village chief’s will so I’ll leave it all to you.」
……
I-I see.
I understand your request.
However, how can you just throw me the job of naming a country?
Do you angels have thought of something? Let me choose it from what you thought.
「We do. Here’s the list.」
Eh?
「We’ve already prepared it.」
The list of names for the country is written in small letters on several thin boards. Just a glance I know that it’s more than a hundred.
…..
And just a glance I’ve already concluded that there’s no way those are names of a country.
Next to the names on the list are the origin of the names.
Should I choose from here?
When I asked that, Ruincia nodded and the angels began moving.
Then, they brought out a big board.
The board had the names of the countries on the list but they are written around.
The board is then attached to the wall and I was handed with a knife by Ruincia.
In other words…..
「Throw it and whatever you hit will be the name of the country! By the way, if it fell off the board, it will be “Aaahhh Kingdom”!」
….
The angels are getting excited but I think this is a terrible way to decide.
Also, what’s with the “All” in the middle?
Are you going to combine all the names to form one name for the country?
That’s not it, right?
-0-
I resisted but in the end, I threw the knife and it became “Legitimate Garret Kingdom”.
Ruincia clicked her tongue with all her might.
「What do we have to bother village chief with this when we can just name it “Aaahh Kingdom”?」
I’m scared.
I just want to confirm something. The breakaway, hostile, and independent factions are not causing problems, right?
Good.
I want to support the breakaway, hostile, and independent faction.
Ah, I’m talking about other countries.
-0-
Kierbit: I don’t know what village chief prefers.
Suarurou: Darts! Darts!
Suaruriu: Mother’s saying “all” a lot these days. Let’s add all.
Suarukou: All….like jugem?

Raz Maria: With regards to diplomacy, it’s taboo to get a country’s name wrong so this will be a good way to harass them.
Malbit: That would mean that every time we’ll do paperwork we’ll have to use that long name….I’ll go with “Aaahhh Kingdom”.
Ruincia: It’s a hassle to write six letters for “Aaahhh”. How about we just use “Ah Kingdom”? Right, Ah Kingdom would be great.
