Chapter 394
My name is Kierbit .
I’m the daughter of the angel’s chief .
I also worked as the heavenly wings shrine maiden of Garret Kingdom .
It is great to have a great social standing .
But in front of me now, there’s a woman with a scary face .
The vice chief .
She’s the leader of those who assists the heavenly wings shrine maiden .
She is Tier’s mother, Ruinchia desu .
She’s usually a cool woman but… . it seems like what I said affected her badly .
「Kierbit-sama, I didn’t hear it well . Can you say it again?」
That’s an obvious lie .
If you didn’t hear it well, you won’t look like that .
No, nothing .
I’ll say it again .
「Tier is busy taking care of her second daughter so she won’t be back . 」
… . .
Oya?
She’s trying to understand what I said .
What is there to think about though?
「Kierbit-sama, I just want to confirm… . who gave birth to her second daughter?」
「Eh? It’s Tier desu . 」
What is she even asking?
… .
Areh?
No way?
Did she not tell her about her children… .
「Could it be that… . you know that Tier got married, do you?」
At the end, I said it cutely but it didn’t work .
「I don’t . 」
For some reason, I seemed to have offended her .
But why?
I’m still your former boss .
I was the heavenly wings shrine maiden, aren’t I?
Based on that, you should change your attitude at once… . . no, I didn’t say anything .
Yes, I got it .
I’ll tell Tier .
No no, I’m properly contacting my mother .
The man I’m targeting is still young so I think I won’t get married even for a few more years .
Right right .
I almost forgot about it .
This is a letter from Tier addressed to vice chief .
Yeah, unusual, isn’t it?
She was forced to write that .
Oh, I’m happy for you .
There’s no point in acting cool .
The wings on my back are shivering .
If I had given her the letter earlier, she would have been only half angry .
I failed to do so .
No, in the first place, why do I have to be scolded when I’m just trying to report what’s happening to Tier?
When I returned to the village, I only decided to show my face in my former workplace because it was close .
I have to leave quickly and go home… . vice chief, why are you grabbing my wings?
I can’t fly if you do that .
「What are my grandchildren’s names? How many are they? How do they look? You’re going to tell me those in detail . 」
But you have a letter… . vice chief is holding the letter with care .
「Are you not going to read that?」
「We are talking about Tier . There’s no way she’ll write stuffs like those . 」
That’s a strange trust .
「Vice chief, I really want to keep you company but I also want to see my mother desu . 」
「Your mother is in the temple(here) . 」
「Eh?」
「After you quit being the shrine maiden, Malbit is the one serving temporarily because the next one has not been decided yet . 」
Malbit is my mother’s name desu .
…… . .
「Why haven’t you decided on the next one?」
「Because we can’t . Think about it yourself, who are the candidates to be the next shrine maiden?」
「Eh? Ability wise, it should be either Gran Maria, Kuudel, or Corone . And although a bit inferior, the Suaruriu and Suarukou sisters are fine too… . ah」
「They are my choice too but I can’t get in touch with any of them . By the way, do you know where they are?」
Eh-ehto… . what should I say?
「So you know . Good . Tell me everything . But before that, talk about my grandchildren first . Start now . 」
… . .
I arrived at our village at dawn and I was only released at dusk .
Mother went home first .
「Why didn’t you help me!」
Even though I said that, she only laughed at me .
I understand .
Mother is not good at dealing with vice chief either .
However, both mother and I recognize vice chief’s ability… . or rather, without her, the angel village will be in chaos .
She alone handles the affairs with Garret Kingdom and even the elders are leaving all the works to her .
If she boycotts her job, everything will stop in the village .
Mother probably doesn’t want to irritate vice chief .
I understand it well .
I understand but that doesn’t mean I’ll forgive you .
I’ll reduce mother’s souvenirs .

「Ki-chan, welcome back～ . 」
That’s mother .
She calls me Ki-chan .
No matter how many times I told her to, she won’t change it .
I have already given up .
「I’m back . Have you seen the souvenir I brought? Don’t touch it yet, I’ll distribute some around . 」
「I know . I’ll cook for dinner so look forward to it～」
「Wait, then use the seasonings on the souvenir . Without that, I might not be able to eat . 」
「Is it similar to the thing you brought before? That was delicious . Was it the thing made in Village Five and sold in Shashaato City?」
「Mother, please don’t challenge your daughter . I can’t tell you about it . 」
「Fufufu . I’m purely asking . Ah, it is because of the souvenir you brought last time . 」
「… . . mou . Dinner, I look forward to it . 」
「Leave it to me～」
Mother’s cooking skills are recognized by everyone .
… . .
That everyone is me .
Kuh, it tastes like poop .
I’m sorry, mother .
「By the way, Ki-chan, I’m glad that you returned but, why?」
「You ask why, that’s because… . areh?」
Indeed, why?
It all started because of mother’s letter .
After reading it, Tier ignored it, and it turned to “someone must report back” task which eventually fell unto me… .
Why did I join that draw lots!
「Ki-chan, I’m scared if you suddenly get enraged like that . 」
「I-I’m sorry . I returned because I wanted to see mother . 」
Yes, that’s right .

I wanted to see my mother .
By no means, my mind was dull at that time because of the kotatsu and orange .
「Is that so? Then, I’m happy . 」
This is the best reply I can get from my mother .
「Then, when can I see my grandchild? 」
… . .
「As I said before, the man I’m targeting is still young . You have to wait for at least 10 more years . 」
「Ki-chan, didn’t you say before that you also targeted that child’s father?」
「Too many rivals . 」
「Is that so? That’s regrettable . By the way… . in the old times, I had a friend who said the same thing as you . 」
「Eh?」
「If it doesn’t work on the father, then his son . If it doesn’t work on the son, then again… . in the end, she didn’t get married . 」
「I-I’ll do my best not to end up like that . 」
「Good luck . Also, my apologies since you just came back but, can you go to the west?」
「Did something happen?」
「The hero is acting strange . 」
「The hero is acting strange?」
「Yes . Every hero we know . 」
「This might sound rude but, isn’t a hero strange from the start?」
「You’re right but that’s not important this time . Maa, we asked a group of heroes to exterminate undead but they seem to have neglected our request . 」
「That happened on the west . 」
「Yes . In a place about two weeks from here . You can bring five more with you, can you do it?」
「I understand . I’ll depart tomorrow . So, what’s with the heroes… . why did the heroes become strange? Isn’t this a serious matter?」
「This is a secret . A top secret case . 」
「I understand . I won’t leak it to anyone . 」
「Then, let me tell you . 」
… . .
I was surprised when I heard the story .
It’s really important .
