684 Visit to Moribe ② - Fa's House

After we finished our business, we returned to the settlement of Lou.

Then, just like in the morning, there was once again a line of soldiers of escort.

"Oh, Asta. The more I followed you, the more I came back to Luu's settlement."

This is also greeted by the words of Fermes, which remind me of my pre-existing sense of vision. On its left and right, Melfried and Gemd still stood like loyal knights.

"Thank you very much. As planned, were all the houses of Luu's family also inspected?

"Yes, we went around Rutim and Lilyn before it got to Jomtien, and then we saw the houses of Ray, Min, Maam and Mufa"

I guess the priority given to Rutim and Lilyn was still due to the presence of Gazran-Rutim and Schmiral. When I thought that way, Fermes smiled fluffily.

"The man named Schmiral was a very interesting personality. The spiritual structure seemed to me to be a very common meadow people… it is very surprising that it would transfer God from Sim to Selva"

"Yes. Schmiral is and always has been a dear friend to me."

"Yeah. I guess being exotic means it's also very comforting for Asta. He was also terribly worried that Asta might become obsessed with the King's capital."

Only calmly and gracefully, Fermes said so.

"Now let me interrupt Fa's house. Please take the lead as we continue later."

"I understand.... Are you okay with that one?

The second half of the words are directed at Sheila-Lou. Today was my personal training day, so hopeful people were supposed to accompany me.

Sheila-Lou, who was unloading the extra baggage from the carrier, looks back at this one and nods "yes".

"Today, I want both me and Raina-Lou to be with you. And then Rimi-Lou will accompany him, and Maim will stay home," he said.

Originally, Raina-Lou and Sheila-Lou only had one or the other in attendance because of the work they had to do. Moreover, Limi-Luu and Maim were occasional participants, but I guess what Maim will be absent from today is still keeping Fermes' eyes peeled.

(I told you to behave as you normally do, but you don't quite do that)

As far as I'm concerned, it was a good time to beg Michelle to teach. But because Fermes was to inspect it, he had to return to Fa's house. Until then, if I was told I didn't want to realize it, it was my sincere intention not to make waves as much as possible.

"Well, let's get going. The second luggage truck will be en route to another house, so be careful"

Put that down, I decided to head over to Fa's house.

Leaving on the way is a luggage truck with people not attending a study group. Today was the day of duty for Ravitz and Baim, so three people, excluding Malfira-Naham, and then the ladies of Lid, the other side of Thur-din, hit it.

but there was also a slight change here. Fay-Beim, who normally does not participate, has offered to participate.

"Parents have offered to see Asta trained today. Best regards,"

After all, it is due to the presence of Fermes. As such, being inspected by the people of the King's capital is a unique event for the people of the woods.

Me and Limi-Lew hold the reins. The luggage carriage goes north on the road, and the second luggage carriage leaves to stop at Dagola's house. From behind, there are four two-headed Totos cars with 30 and the rest of the names on them, following. It was still not so that so many luggage cars would drive down the roads by the woods.

(Speaking of which, this must be the first time a nobleman has come to Fa's house)

Or what the aristocracy has done to the forestside settlement itself, only enough to count, and they should all have been the houses of the chieftaincy. Even without the presence of Fermes, it was a tightening thought for me.

With that in mind, when I arrived at Fa's house, the women who were just getting me a job downstairs were on my way home. On my personal training day, it was customary for me to get the job done early.

"Oh, Asta, that was fast. Because of this, let me say hello to the nobles too."

The women of Fou, who were about to get in the luggage car, smile and say so. As for Fermes, I'm sure he's heard a lot from Birdu-Fow. The eyes seemed to have a lot of vigilance and a light of curiosity that exceeded it.

In the meantime, Totos cars in the castle town form a queue in the open space in front of the house. First the guards dressed in a rugged manner appeared, and finally Fermes and Melfried and others descended to the ground.

Really, the women whine.

I guess I found more beauty there than I imagined.

Flax-colored hair dripping up to Fermes' waist glistening in the sun. Just standing casually, he was as beautiful as a painting or statue.

"Oh, I heard there are only two families in Fa's house...... are those the people who are helping Asta do her job?

"Yes, we are asking for a look at the dishes used in commerce. Fou, Run, Rats and Memes are the ones who came together today."

On behalf of all of them, the most elderly women of Fou praise them.

Fermes was returning his gratitude at ease.

"I am Fermes, a diplomat from Wang Du, and this is my servant, Gemd. Is Lord Melfried being made cordial with these people?

"No. All I've ever stopped by is a family home like Luw, Sautti, Faye, Tamr"

Faye and Tamr are the most southerly of the families of Sauthi. I guess I had a chance to stop by when I cut a new road by the woods.

Mel Fried and I should have a pretty eye-catching look, but it still seems like if you line up with Fermes, they'll take your gaze away from you. But the women of Fou looked like they had returned it to me, and they were also giving a toast to Melfried.

"You're Mel Fried, aren't you? Parents always want to talk to you."

"Mm-hmm. Berdu-Fow's honest personality would be a great force for the Chiefs"

After such a brief and impressive encounter, the women returned in their luggage.

All that was left were Tour-Din, Yun-Sudra, Fay-Baim and Malfira-Naham attending my study group. And Raina-Lou, Sheila-Lou, Limi-Lou, that's a total of seven.

"Now, let's keep the knife. Should I leave it with Asta?

"Ah, yes. I'll take care of it."

The two long swords were still Melfried's. Then when you also receive one from Gemd, it is quite a weight. If I hadn't been trained in the woodland haulage, I would have put it up to its weight.

"So, let me keep this one in my mother's house, and then I'll show you to Kamado's cabin... What do you do about the Red People?

"Right. Shall we say hello?"

It's time to meet Fermes and Tia face to face.

When I turned my foot to the motherhouse, the notice-maker Tour-Din was just ahead of the doorboard. With all this luggage, it's hard to even open the doorboards.

"Thanks. Can you open it?

After getting my approval properly, Tour-Din pulled open the doorboard saying yes.

Sarris Lang-Fou, who was knitting a grass cage under Tia's pillow, looks back at this one in a stiff fashion. Zilbe, lying down in the earth, gave a delightful voice, "Bauuuu". Maybe he felt a lot of stranger smell by my side and was a lot confused.

"I'm back now. Fermes, the king's diplomat, will greet Tia."

"Yes, I understand.... Aim, here you are"

Aim-Fou grinned at me and then turned to his mother.

Sarris Run-Fow gives Tia a hand and wakes herself up on the bedding. Tia has also turned her uncontrolled grin on me as usual.

"I'm glad that Asta is back safe and sound.... As I was saying last night, here comes a man named Kokan, right?

"Yeah, there's nothing more to worry about than the relationship between the kingdom and the sanctuary."

"Tia's not worried about anything. It's not the first time I've seen a human outside the woods."

Naturally, there was no concept of nobility or king's capital among the tiers. Besides, I don't know the distinction between Selva and Jagal, so I guess Fermes is no different than the Balan doers if you try to tier him up.

Of course, it explains everything possible in the period up to yesterday. The nobility of Genos is the monarch of the people by the woods, and the nobility of the king's capital is even more.

I put three long swords in the back of the hall for once before heading back to get the Fermes.

"Thank you for waiting. Please come in."

The soldiers are watching Fa's house on a far-flung roll, and only Fermes, Melfried and Gemd, come walking.

Gemd first crept through the front door, looked indoors with quiet but strong light eyes, then finally looked down at Zilbe.

"As long as I'm around, I'll be fine.... or do you know about escort dogs?

Gemd nodded, "Yeah."

This is the first time I've heard this person's voice, but it's quite a deep beauty. They're blessed with all sorts of things, Lord.

I kept my hand on Zilbe's back in the dirt corner and waited for Fermes to enter.

Because of the large number of people on the table, Zilbe seems restless. He looked up at my face so many times to make sure that this wasn't the enemy.

That's how I finally got into Fermes' room.

Standing fluffy and earthly, Fermes turned a graceful grin on the tier formed in the middle of the hall.

"My name is Fermes. You are the people of the sanctuary, Tia-Hamra-Namkal, right?

"Hmm. Tia, son of Hamra, the chief of Namkar."

Tia's clear reddish brown eyes and Fermes' incredible hazel eyes were loosely teased at a distance of a few meters.

"The people of the kingdom and the people of the sanctuary are themselves who cannot be friends or compatriots. You have stepped out of the sanctuary, but I hear you have no intention of abandoning your homeland and becoming a people of the kingdom. Is there any mistake in that word?

"Mm-hmm. Tia could also get forgiveness for the sin that hurt Asta, so hopefully after this wound heals she will return to the mountain of Morga"

"Really? It's your compatriots who decide whether or not to allow it, isn't it? We're not involved."

"Uhm.... you wish Tia should give her soul back?

Tia suddenly said something strange.

But Fermes remains gracefully smiling.

"This forestside settlement is the territory of Genos. If Lord Genos decides to keep you alive, there's no reason for me to whisper. Let us observe, unless you threaten the laws of the kingdom."

"Right. I'd appreciate it if you could forgive Tia for stepping outside the sanctuary"

Tia felt nothing and lowered her head with pepper.

Fermes nods and looks back at the fleshy merfrid.

"Will Lord Melfried say hello, too?

"No. In Genos, the three beasts down the mountain of Morga are ordained not to be treated as mere beasts. I don't feel the need to say hello to the beast of the field."

Melfried stared at Tia with unreadable gray eyes of emotion.

Tia also stares back at Mel Fried silently.

"So let's leave this place at this. Tia-Hamra-Namkal, again, just a moment."

"Uh-huh. If your code allows it, Tia doesn't mind."

Fermes tried to return the calamity after he had given him another last courtesy.

Along the way he sees me and Zilbe, "Oh," he narrows his eyes.

"Is that the escort dog Lord Dreg gave you? Well, you're a fine lion dog."

"Yeah, I'm an important family member of Fa's house now."

Fermes nodded and disappeared outdoors. After I see Melfried and Gemd follow it, I get my hips up too.

"Then I'll get to work, too. Sarris Run-Fou, please wait a while longer."

"Yeah, I got it."

Sallis Run-Fou let Tia's body lie on her bedding as she breathed in relief.

Tia sleeps sloppily, as if nothing had happened. Aim-Fou was smiling and laughing, teasing his little fingers at that reddish brown hair.

"Jilbe, too, should be here today. You don't need to worry about me, so play with Aim-Fou."

To convey it in body language, I stroked Zilbe's head, pointing him to the foot of the earth. Clever Zilbe replies "Bauuuu" and then takes one of my hands with regret.

That's how I left the front door and closed the doorboard, and Fermes just called out.

"There will only exist enough in this kingdom to count, such as the people of the sanctuary and the humans who actually face each other. I'm kind of comfortable stepping into a fairy tale."

"Really?... I am very grateful to you for forgiving Tia's sins"

"There is nothing to forgive or not to forgive. As Lord Melfried said, the people who have left the sanctuary are equal to the beasts of the wild, so there will be no need to punish them any more."

That said, Fermes smiled like a poor maiden.

"And if you have a wounded little bird in your hand, it's what humans want to embrace. If you are a brave, well-known forestside people, will you come to the same mood, even if your opponent is a lion or a leopard? … even if the lions and leopards attacked me forgetting their benevolence, I guess I could cut them off with my own hands."

"Yes, and Tia has been rightly beneficial to the people by the woods and the Marquis of Genos"

"Then the rest is whether the red folk of Morga will accept her return.... Let's hope the Red People are generous."

That's how Fermes held out his hand to lead me.

"Now Asta does her job. Until the parent, Ai-Fa, returns, I will take the time to inspect."

"Yes," I said, turning to Kamadu's cabin with Tour-Din and others.

The guards are scattered to draw circles while taking great distances from their motherhouses and kamadu huts. If the Hurricane Party and the people of Wang Du had overlapped, I would have been reminded of what kind of noise it would have been.

"This will be Kamado's cabin. Be careful not to contaminate your body with coal or fat."

"Thank you for your concern. Whatever we are, do as you normally do."

That's what Fermes said, but today is my personal training day. Since stereotypes do not exist in this, it was one of my thoughts on what to exchange.

"Well, then today... it's going to be like a continuation of this previous one, but I guess I'll even review the curry"

"Is it him? Does Asta still think that Bubba hasn't finished it yet?

It was Raina-Lou who had asked as such. Even in my personal training setting, I keep saying I want you to say more and more things that come to mind.

"Yeah. Whatever, it's been confirmed that Chaska won't be available for a while. I left Chaska and Curry behind."

That's what I told Rayna-Lew to laugh at.

"On this occasion, I'm thinking about splitting the curry for Chaska and the curry for Baked Poitans exactly to increase their completeness." Thank you, Varcus. It seems that Curry has an extraordinary interest. "

"That would be so. I think the dish called Him is something that can't be overlooked for Vanilla Valkas."

"Right. Well, let's start with a curry for baked Poitans."

Anyway, there's no chaska on this scene, so I knew I had to put you behind me. I've been waiting a thousand autumns for the day when a new Chaska arrives from Sim.

"Asta used to say that he might be better suited to grilled Poitans, which is made in the Xuanrong Pavilion. Like that, are you going to go for a spicy flavor?

And now Yun-Sudra comes up with a voice. I shook my head "no" towards you.

"That's just a comparison to the curry I was making, isn't it? The nails were spicy with chit fruits and fry leaves, but I'm wondering if the flavor I seek will come from another vanilla or ingredient."

I didn't have all that build-up about Indian curry, but I still think it's hard to just add spiciness to it with corn spices.

"For example... in my hometown, you should have used this guy for curry."

When I pointed to the bottle that was placed on the workbench, a surprise was raised from here and there.

"That's the sweet-scented juice you put in the baked Poitan before this, right?

"Yeah. Using this guy was supposed to be so mainstream."

It was an occasional ingredient for coconut milk. It is an ingredient I discovered in the castle town pantry the day I first met Varcus, but it has not had a chance to use it until the other day.

"When I first mouthed that curry too, I thought it was a strange dish to smell so spicy... what do you guys think?

"Right. I can only imagine… I think it might be a delightful dish in Castle Town"

"I think so, too."

It was Raina-Lou and Sheila-Lou who answered that way, and the rest of the members had such a facade that it was even difficult to imagine.

"Well, that's just one example. In the meantime, let's start with a review of the amount of vanilla"

"Yes, we can help you"

It is a thankful story that so many people can help, even in personal training. There was nothing different about these familiar tasks than the usual study group.

So when we got to the task of crushing the vanilla, we heard a voice called "Hmm" from the wall.

"You used so many different herbs in that dish. I'm also convinced it tasted so incredible."

Speaking was, of course, Fermes. I try to keep my head down small while I gobble up the rind bowl.

"I'm not familiar with the handling of seafood in this land, so I think there was something awkward about it. Thank you then for your excessive words."

"Terrible. Making sweet words to deepen ties with others is not my fashion. It is in my heart that you have recognised yourself as one of Selva's leading cooks."

The grinning face is like a girl's face. Not to mention, encouraging cooking while being watched over by the noble people was quite an odd experience.

Tour-Din and others are nervous faces from earlier on, and Fay-Baim is eager to see how Fermes is doing. Not at all different from normal could have been grinning and fun Rimi-Lou and about Malfira-Naham, who has always been around.

"... Did you enjoy the food that day, too, to Melfried?

I called out that way, wondering if I could soothe the place at all.

Melfried, who was immovable at the time of the statue of the fighting god, responded low, "Uhm."

"But as far as I'm concerned... I feel so little that I can't speak of Giva cooking. When it comes to food by the woods, it would still be Giva food."

"I apologize for making you stick to my bias. If you don't mind, why not take this opportunity to look forward to Giva cuisine?

In Fermes' words, I said, "Huh?" I raised my voice.

"Oh, does that mean tasting the dishes you make at this hour? If that's the case, we can split as much as we want..."

"No. It's about this evening's meal. I'm going to see you till dinner, and then I'm going back to Castle Town."

I lost my word for a moment. It is now at most three moments down, leaving about four hours before sunset.

"So, but Fermes can't mouth Giva food, can he? I'm not even ready for the seafood ingredients today..."

"Of course I'm thinking of eating when I get back to Castle Town. I just want to see the people's supper by the woods, so there's no need to worry about it."

Smiling with an innocent face, Fermes pointed to the splendid halls on the left and right.

"But eating the same thing in the same place will also deepen your rapport. Unfortunately, I can't thank you enough for what you've done today... isn't it a pleasure to invite Lord Melfried, the first son of the Marquis de Genos, to dinner? Then, if you share some of the dishes with Gemd, it's an unwanted delight."

"I understand, sir. But we need a parental decision to make about the house, so please wait for Ai-Fa to return"

When I responded that way, Melfried turned his gaze towards the moonlight.

"You don't have to do anything, Asta. We've come to inspect ourselves, so we don't have to sift till dinner."

"Yes, no. If you were to stay at home during dinner, you'd be more comfortable eating with me."

Eating dinner while these three people are watching me, etc. just makes me uncomfortable imagining it. Then it would be a human being to think that you would eat with me.

(And as Fermes put it, inviting Melfried to dinner is a valuable experience.)

It is quite a difficult story to crack with this iron-skinned Mitsuhito, but nowadays I am not very comfortable with it. As much as I feel very favorable about my love for my family and a little human odor trick that makes it look like a regular bounce.

"Oh, but... Tia will also be present at the dinner place, is that okay with you?

When I raised my voice like that, Melfried tilted his neck, with no expression.

"Let me sit on the spot, every one of you. There's nothing particularly different about trying to mouth a meal.... but isn't it really annoying?

"Yeah, of course. I don't think I would ever refuse, even if I were an eye-fa."

"Well," Melfried said, showing slight mandibular pull.

"If you can mouth Giva food, I'd appreciate it. Giva meat is also used in Castle Genos, but it's still not in the arms of the cooks around the woods."

It was kind of very emotional that you could get those words from Melfrid.

Fermes sees our interaction satisfactorily.

(Though I suspect where the main intent is to stick... so far, this Fermes behavior is working in a good direction for all of you)

Then we should strive to build a better relationship by spending a long time together.

Thinking like that, I grabbed a new vanilla on the workbench.
