Chapter 832: Angel’s Council
The stench that Flora researched……no, excuse me.
There was a n to weaponize that stinky food.
I thought Flora was joking and I didn’t expect that someone would actually take that seriously.
…….
Loo.
Well, since they are going to weaponize the smell, it would be like a security device.
I hope they will be careful to not idently use it on the kuros.
While I was thinking of that, a prototype was quickly made.
It is a tube type weapon that can be used manually.
While at that stage, it doesn’t leak any kind of smell.
However, once the string is pulled, the tube twisted, or even broke, the stench will instantly spread.
We immediately started experimenting.
It was too dangerous to do this in the vige so we moved deep into the forest.

The giant boar ran away.
The giant bear ran away.
The giant snake ran away.
……..
Isn’t this the strongest?
It didn’t work on Zabuton and the spiderlings though.
And of course, the kuros didn’t like it.
Ah, Loo, Loo.
Please don’t me the spiderlings carry tubes on their backs.
It makes the cute spiderlings look like evil weapons.
Practical use and mass production……those need to be considered.
It’s difficult to handle after all.
Without someone who can use smell-removing magic, the damage will increase.
It might be useful for avoiding demon beasts and monsters when walking in the forest but……
I don’t think those who need such things can stand the smell too.
You can make some of them but make sure they are stored securely.
And if you’re going to keep them in the basement, make sure they arepletely covered.
Please.

One day in summer.
The angels gathered in a room of my mansion and had a big meeting.
All the angels of Big Tree Vige…..
No, not really. The children, such as Aurora, Roze Maria, Ldel, and Tormane, aren’t there.
The rest of the angels have gathered.
They gathered around a round table but as expected, not everyone can seat so Tier, Gran Maria, Kuudel, Corone, Suaruriu, Suarukou, Malbit, Ruincia, Raz Maria, Reginleif, and a few others are seated. The rest are standing around.
For some reason, I was invited to sit in on such a big meeting.
I thought they were going to discuss the traditional Garret Kingdom but I was wrong.
It was the hierarchical order of the angels.
When I say hierarchical order, I don’t mean the hierarchical order of the entire angel race in Big Tree Vige but the hierarchical order of the angels who are living in Big Tree Vige.
It seems like there was a bit of a trouble.
What’s troubling them?
If you ask me about the hierarchical order of the angles living in Big Tree Vige, from my point of view, Tier would be……areh?
Malbit is the one inmand of the angles more often than not.
Are they telling me that Malbit retired or something?
I haven’t heard any reports about that though.
「Of course, as the very first agnel who moved to this ce, became vige chief’s wife, Tiselle and Aurora’s mother, Tier is at the top of the list.」
Right.
Unlike usual, I nodded my head while Malbit was talking seriously.
「However, is Tier leading the angles? Is she able to do so? If you ask me, I would say no.」
Is….that so?
「I can honestly say that Gran Maria is doing a better job of leading the whole race.」
Ah, yeah, she’s certainly working hard.
「When we arrived here, Gran Maria left anything rted to leadership to us and focuses on her own work.」
She did.
「That’s not a problem before since we used to go in this Vige from the Angel Vige in Garret Kingdom but now, we are recognized settlers of this vige.」
Yeah.
「In that case, the representative of the angels in this vige is none other than Tier even though if we use the former, Tier would be under us.」
So, what’s the problem?
「Confusion in the chain ofmand. When we and Tier’s opinions are in conflict, we don’t know which opinion should take precedence. Of course, if you ask me, Tier’s opinion should take precedence. However, we are the ones who are usually inmand. Some will not listen to Tier’smand and ask for our opinion. In addition, instructions from vige chief to the angel are given to Tier. The instructions will then be conveyed from Tier to us but there are inevitably differences in the exact nuances. This means that we cannot urately carry out vige chief’s instructions. Furthermore, the result of our actions is alsomunicated to Tier and then reported to vige chief, however, the response is monopolized by Tier. We can’t even verify whether what we did were right or wrong.」
Sorry, I didn’t understand you very well because you spoke too fast.
Just give me the gist of it briefly.
「We can’t forgive Tier for making us do all the hard work while she lives infort!」
Eh?
I think you said something about the chain ofmand.
「That’s the whole point.」
Ah, I see.
Ehto, that’s the reason you’re having a big meeting.
「I apologize for taking up so much space in your mansion.」
No, no, it’s fine.
All the angels of Big Tree Vige are gathered here.
However, since I was suddenly called to this big meeting, I haven’t received any exnation as to why I should be here.
「Don’t mind the small details.」
No no, that’s the part I’m concerned about.
「Then……please look at that.」
Malbit pointed at Tier.
She has been sitting in her seat since before I arrived but she hasn’t moved an inch.
Her eyes are closed and she is still.
She didn’t even react when Malbit pointed her finger at her.
……..
Is Tier mad or something?
「No, she’s just sleeping.」
Huh?
「She’s just sleeping. Even at big meetings like this, she will just sleep.」
No no no, she stays awake when there’s a meeting in the vige.
She even freely says her opinions.
「Then, please call her out.」
Ah, yeah.
I called out Tier as Malbit requested.
……..
There was no response.
「She’s magically blocking external stimuli. Even against attacks……」
Malbit shoots something out of her finger to Tier. However, before it could hit her, it was blocked by something and fell down.
「Simple attacks can’t wake her up」
How do we wake up Tier then?
「We can either use a powerful attack to wake her up or a specific set of words. I would like to attack her but I think she has done some counter measures against it and there will also be damage to the surroundings. That means……we can only use words. Watch and see.」
Malbit gives a quick nce at Ruincia and starts talking.
「Alright. Today’s meeting is adjourned.」
The moment Mabit says so, Tier opened her eyes and said,
「That was a productive meeting. Please work hard ording to what was discussed. Then, dismissed!」
Tier stood up, bowed, and was about to leave the room when…..she was caught by Ruincia who made her return to her seat.
「Eh? Areh? Vige Chief? ……you didn’t tell me that vige chief will be participating!」
Ignoring Tier, who was angry at being cheated, Malbit bowed to me and said “please”.
Understood.
Tier, I need to talk to youter.
「Eh? Ah, y-yeah.」
So, what about this big meeting?
Is it now adjourned?
「Of course not. Now that Tier is away, we will begin.」
