751 Explore Castle Town ④ - Swan Palace

After all the tasting, we were supposed to enjoy the cheer as it was.

It is a great pleasure for us simply to exchange words carefully with the Vulkas. And from here, the hunters by the woods, who had been quiet all along so as not to interfere with Kamado's number, were also able to interact with each other as they wished.

"You guys make really strange dishes. I don't know if it's delicious or not, but I thought today's dishes tasted amazing anyway."

Rudd-Lou is the same table as me, so the people I'm calling on are Varcus and Turtumai. Rudd-Lou's beloved beauty was that no matter how heartless they were.

At the other table, Giza-Lou and Gazran-Rutim are also actively speaking up. As well as cheerful, older bozzles, Roy is quite a familiar person, so he was able to communicate without any problems.

Besides, it's Siri-Low.

From the beginning, she seemed to be targeting Malfira-Naham.

"Sixteen? You're only sixteen, aren't you? Since when have you been handcuffed by Asta?

"Ha, yes. Or, since it's the 23rd of the Blue Moon that I started helping with street work, I think it's going to be four months and fifteen days"

"Four-and-a-half months.... but before that, did you do your cooking job?

"Ha, yes. Na, at Naham's house, I will start helping out with which job Kama begins at the age of ten...... Oh, so, but should I account for Naham's house getting Asta a delicious cooking guide from there, as it will be the 12th of the Golden Moon? Well, if you do, it'll be eleven months soon."

"... do you remember what happened eleven months ago until the date?

"Ha, yes. Wow, it's a hard day for me to forget… that day, I couldn't get my hands on it directly, but Naham's family went out to Ravitz's house to learn Asta's moves"

Apparently, Malfira-Naham also had an unbeatable memory.

Finally, my computational skills are slipping out, so I wanted to scratch my mouth, but I stopped because I think I'm going to stroke Siri-Low's nerves.

"Speaking of which, Asta to Ai-Fa. Didn't we have a story to tell the Roys?

and Gazran-Rutim calls from a distant position.

I exchanged my gaze with Ai-Fa and then let him say yes.

"Actually, I'd like to invite the Roys to another feast by the woods, but what do you think?

"Well, that's a thankful story. Are you trying to make peace with the people in town again?

"No, actually, on that day, there will be a harvest festival, but there are a lot of things going on, and we're supposed to invite guests from all over the place. So, I don't know what to say, but it's up to me to invite the Roys again."

The matter had already received recognition from the chiefs of the three tribes and from the heads of the nearest families. The harvest festival of the six families was already in sight.

"It's just that this time, not only the nobles of Genos, but also the diplomats of the King's Capital were to be invited. Diplomats see what bonds the people of Moribe are spinning with the people of Genos, so that's how it turned out."

"Hmm. For us, the nobility of Genos and the nobility of the king's capital are no different. By the way, the nobles of Genos, are you the princess of Count Turan's house again?

"No. In addition to that this time, we will also be joined by the family of the first son of the Marquis de Genos and the second son of the Count d 'Aleim, Polearth"

"Oh!" he called out, a bozzle.

"Now finally, is it the Marquis of Genos? Besides, what is the family of the first son you want to inherit...... is that still what inspired the friendship between Lord Tour-Din and your son?

"Yeah, that's what happens"

If you want to invite Odifia to a feast, you can't even follow Fermes. It was only after the Ai-Fas had thoroughly indulged in the case suggested by George-Zaza that they finally came to the conclusion of inviting them together. I told Castle Town that I was going to give him a name, not just Melfried and Polearths, but even Eurifia.

"After that, Yumi and Terrier-Mass will also be invited by the lodging town. You know those two, don't you?

"Oh, those are the daughters that Siri-Low was getting along with. This guy's gonna be so happy with Siri-Low."

"Beh, I'm not friendly, and I'm not happy about anything."

"Well, as far as I'm concerned, you don't hesitate to let me join you. When's the day off?

"Six days from now, we are scheduled for the 13th of the Purple Moon. I think it's going to be about the same size as the previous Lew banquet."

In any case, we plan to invite a lot of guests from other families this time. To see the reality of the Joint Harvest Festival, the representatives of the smaller clans and those of the chieftaincy muscles are also scheduled to visit in advance. Plus a total of six family members should have lightly surpassed a hundred.

"The 13th, the 13th...... er, you only got a reservation from the Earl Saturas house on the 15th, right? Then the 13th is supposed to be closed."

After stating it that way, Roy looked back at Varcus.

"What do you think, Varcus? Will I be allowed to skip the cook again from noon that day until the next morning?

Even if there are no booking guests, this Silver Star Hall is about culinary training as it does every day. "Yes," Varcus responded low, not trying to look back on Roy.

"It will be a great food for you to head out to the woodland settlements and eat the food for the feast. You can't hold that back for no reason."

"If there's a reason, I'd like to hold back."

"That's not true. I just feel sorry for myself for not being able to leave Castle Town."

Varcus is vulnerable to crowds and mountain environments. The blurry, faceless look remained, and the figure of Varcus, who dropped his gaze on the table, did not even appear to be quiet.

"... if you are unscrupulous, you will have a sore nose or throat. Varcus also repeated such impotence when he was younger, but it seems that doing so would necessarily reduce his lifespan as a cook."

"I understand," Varcus breathed in a small breath when Tartumai said so in a quiet voice.

Even for me, it's the mountains that want to invite Varcus to the feast, but I have to say no until I'm told that my life as a cook will be reduced. I decided to turn my gaze on the next table again, thinking I'd be pulling my hair back.

"So what about the others? Yumi wanted to see Siri-Low."

"Oh, that won't happen. Because we are not friends or anything..."

"I don't think Yumi has any reason to lie. From time to time, he says," I wish I could show my face in Inn Town. "

"Oh, it shouldn't even be the kind of pattern that they call him. Damn, you don't know how to be polite!

And so on, Siri-Low was a lot messed up. It is she who is not so good at hiding the foundations, the insides.

Then the bozzle raised his thick arm with a grinning smile.

"I would love to be here! I would like to deepen the bond with the forest people as well as the joy of eating delicious Giva dishes."

"Then let me interrupt just me and the bozzle"

"Wow, I haven't responded yet!?

"Then give me a proper response. Didn't you say something about courtesy earlier?

Siri-Low looked at me with his face down. It is the face of a plucked toddler.

"Then… I would like to take that offer"

"Yes, thank you. I'm glad I'm having another feast with you."

That's how the story came together, and the dining room door was opened.

What emerged from it was an old woman in an apron dress.

"Dear Forestside, I have a car to pick you up. Are you ready to leave?

Finally, it became a time limit for us to go to the Tea Party.

It was a shame, but we had to get our hips up too.

"Now, if you'll excuse me. When Easter is over again, can I interrupt?

"Of course it is. I look forward to the day when I can speak of Lord Asta's cuisine."

Varcus and the others stood up and dropped us off outside.

That's how I went outside, and Totos cars with the Marquis Genos family crest were seated.

And there also stood three slender figures.

"Thank you for waiting, everyone by the woods. Until the people who are heading to Swan Palace do their job, I will be your guide."

One of them, a young man with the appearance of your son, finally gives a compliment. It was Leiris, nephew of Ruidros, Earl of Saturas, who made him a member of the Knights of Saturas.

"You're the guide?... I didn't think nobles would guide me from hand to hand."

When Giza-Lou responded that way, Leiris smiled coolly, "Really?"

"Marquis Genos also seemed to be thinking of preparing a guide, but I gave him my own name. This is the result of my desire to deepen my bond with the people by the woods...... was it annoying?

"Nothing annoying, etc. This is the first time I've ever set foot in a castle town, so thank you."

"Yes, I'll take care of it"

Raylis has a soft look, as if the sense of urgency was a lie when we first met. Besides, it was apparently a personal outfit today and it was quite a fresh outfit not so different from the people I saw in the square just now.

Many people will meet for the first time on this occasion, but at the same time, no one will know the name of Raylis. In the first place, it began with his father setting a despicable trap when trying swordsmanship with Sin-Luu, after which he himself defeated Georg-Zaza at the Martial Arts Association in Genos, not to mention that a rematch was to be executed in the Luu settlement due to complicated circumstances surrounding Sphyla-Zaza. For the people of the woods, he was a nobleman known for his fingerprints.

Of course, I have personally enjoyed quite a lot of rapport since I have met him at a number of balls. Especially at the last masquerade, he was still the guide. It made me feel so happy that he smiled and smiled at me after exchanging greetings with Giza-Lou.

"... while we cross, we will accompany you. Thank you for your patience, I promise I won't have any extra mouth on me."

It has been so stated, naturally or whatever, that Fermes, a diplomat in the King's capital. It was he and his squire, Gemd, who accompanied Raelis. They hid their faces with hooded capes and collar wraps, just as they did when they appeared in Inn Town.

"Now, if you're going to the Swan Palace, please come this way."

And, Totos, the man who was lurking beside the car, he calls us. It was a servant man of the Marquis of Genos, who had just broken up a few minutes earlier.

Me and Ai-Fa, Limi-Luu and Rud-Luu, as well as Tul-din and Shayla, walk in to interrupt the Totos car. Too right, Fermes smiled from behind the hood.

"Also, just now"

While I returned the meeting, I softly missed Ai-Fa.

Ai-Fa is the spiritual power of steel and maintains a faceless expression. Fermes' appearance on the scene was heard beforehand.

When we got in and the Totos car started running, Rimi-Lou just said, "Hey."

"When you're done with your tea party work, the Limis will be with the Giza brothers again, won't they?

"Yeah. I plan on doing that."

"Oh well. With that Fermez with his noblemen, I'm tired."

"No," replied Ai-Fa low, holding his left arm in Limi-Lu's arms.

"From the beginning, my role is as an escort. I'm always concerned under all circumstances, so where he was sitting beside me, it doesn't make it any harder."

"But Ai-Fa doesn't like that nobleman, does he?

"I don't like it... or there's just a part of me that doesn't care"

"Yeah. I think Limi's been figuring out how I feel lately, too."

Rimi-Lou's eyes, answering as such, felt like they were shining a serious light at any given time.

"He seems to love Asta... but that makes Rimi feel the same way he loves sweet treats"

"Hmm? For one thing, I don't know what you're talking about..."

"Don't know? Um... you don't think about sweet treats because they're not creatures, do you? He doesn't even think about what Asta thinks or what she cares about... that's what I thought."

When Ai-Fa got a smile all the time, he sneezed Limi-Luu's head around.

"Then I know"

"Oh well. I knew I was thinking like a fa."

Limi-Lew has insights that are not surprising at his age. With such a rimi-luu, Fermes seemed to be seen as not a welcome opponent at will.

By the way, it seems Fermes originally wished to attend the Tea Party. However, the organizer, Eurifia, said that the princesses would like to refrain because this is only a gathering of ladies.

So, as an alternative, it was decided to take part in a tour around the Inn Town. So after the tea party, we were supposed to rendezvous with the Giza-Lou guys again.

(I hope I can use this as an opportunity to deepen the right bond with Fermes.... well, we'll just have to work hard without hurry)

The Totos car thus arrived at Swan Palace.

The other day, it was also used at the dinner party of Geld's honors. First I purged myself in the bathroom and went out between refrains, where routine outfits were prepared at the tea party.

"Uh, oh, shit. At the tea party, you're gonna wear this cramped outfit."

Rudd-Lou puts his hands on the outfit in a self-aware manner. That's a white samurai outfit, and I'm a white cook.

As I finish dressing and wait, the women also show up. Ai-Fa is a groovy outfit with Rud-Luu, and Limi-Luu and Tour-Din are adorable apron dresses.

"Huh. I'm getting used to your outfit."

"Nfu. It's over here. We're in this together."

Friendly brothers and sisters are smiling at each other and judging your appearance.

I never got used to the Rin of Ai-Fa. He is truly a beauty, as if he embodied the word "beauty man" in men's clothes. Shayla and others who helped change clothes, it was already seen as an eye-fa with an indulgent face.

"Now that the carving limit is imminent, I would like to begin by saying hello to all your ladies"

Eventually, Shayla will lead me back to the Tea Party venue. Even today, it seems to be an outdoor garden.

Several ladies gather in the middle of a beautiful flowering garden. Finely sculpted loose stone columns are supported by a splendid stone roof under which the ladies enjoy tea.

"Dear Eurifia, everyone by the woods has arrived"

"Oh, you've been wanting me a lot. Everyone seems to be doing well, above all."

Eurifia smiled gracefully as she lifted the white teacup.

"It's also a great pleasure for the Tea Party to be able to see the Rin of Ai-Fa and Rudd-Lou. Really, it's almost like watching it over and over again."

"Hehe. This one's just cramped."

"Well, let me introduce you to today's guest. Well, I guess it's just people who don't need to be introduced."

As Eurifia put it, being on the spot was everyone's well-known opponent.

Eurifia and her sons Odifia, Rittia, Countess of Dalaim, Merrim, the companion of Polearths, and Lifreia, the head of the Count Turan family - and Dial, the guest of Jagal, and a facial rash called Alishna, the astrologer.

"Arishna is a lot of crackling."

When I laughed at her like that, Arishna had been gratuitous.

"Yes, Asta, I am more than happy to see you again"

"Oh, does that mean you're tired of seeing my face, etc?

Dial, also in a bright cobalt blue dress in his eyes, smiles and interrupts him. Not the usual angelic smile, yet I haven't laughed at all.

"No, it never happened, but Arishna and I never had a chance to face each other near the full moon."

"Well, if I were in the castle town about the moon, would you be so kind?"

Apparently, Deal has bent his navel because I spoke to Arishna first.

Then Eurifia laughed in the meantime.

"I always say, but I don't mind talking about it in this kind of a place, at my usual good health, Deal? There are no lords here who say they're tough."

"Yes... but today, some of you are from the Count Dalaim family..."

Then Littia, a small, round-bodied Countess, smiled with a very soft face.

"You don't have to worry about us. If you have a cheap relationship with everyone by the woods, please act as usual."

Dial was supposed to shake his body and body. The truth is, you don't even want this kind of thing, like exchanging polite words with me. At the end of the day, Dial spoke this way, whispering.

"We sincerely thank you for your warm words. … but in the shadow of those pillars, my offering is also withheld."

"Oh, you're that tall squire. What's wrong with that?

"… it is my father's teachings to keep a disrespectful tone in front of your people, and the confessors are sufficiently obsessed with that."

"Well, does it mean that your servant will tell your father?

"No, Larvis is not a person who imitates that... but because he is, I think he is going to be a plank between me and my father and carry thoughts he won't do"

"Oh," Eurifia said, pleasantly relishing her mouth.

"You seem to care more about your position as Larvis than being reprimanded by your father, Deal. I thought you weren't just a squire, but is he special to you?

"And while special is special, it doesn't mean anything strange. Larvis is the same pattern as his siblings when they were raised..."

Eurifia narrowed her eyes how delightfully as Dial put blood on her white cheeks.

"Yes, then I will prepare the ground for you."

"Huh? What is that?"

"This is a tea party I host, Deal!

And Eurifia suddenly gave her voice a tone.

"On this occasion, you will obey my word! You behave as you always do!

Dial, as well as Rittier and Merrim, had made his eyes squeeze.

Eurifia smiles loosely and becomes a whisper again.

"To be obeyed by the unreasonable words of the aristocracy will remain, won't it? Thou shalt obey me, lest thou buy my misfortune. Even your father won't be able to complain about this?

"... until then, do you want me to slap you all over the mouth?

Deal looked like he was having trouble choosing his expression and had a bitter smiley face.

Eurifia smiles "Right," then finally mouths a cup of tea.

"Well, the best thing you can think about is having fun with your guests. You always seem cramped at a tea party, so I wanted to unleash it for you."

"... ok. I'll follow your lead."

Dial has laughed at me since I responded that way.

"Then Asta can stop being polite to me, too, right? Otherwise, I'm the only one who feels weird."

"Um... is that okay with you?

When I asked, Eurifia said "of course."

Then Lifreia, who was silently watching this interaction, raises her voice, "Then".

"Can you also reveal your words to me? If Eurifia will admit it."

"Oh, you guys were talking about how you're usually more comfortable exchanging words."

"Yeah, I don't change who I am, but Asta uses a lot more words. When we met, you wouldn't have been willing to show respect for me or anything."

Lifreia shrugged her luxurious shoulders, facing off.

"So when people were blind, I asked them not to. Could you let me do that on this occasion?

Yeah, I don't mind.

I had to argue with myself because Eurifia was so comfortable with it.

"But Lifreia is the Lord of the Counts. I find it quite distracting to slap a cheap mouth in front of the public against someone like that..."

"'Cause it's not all dirty"

And, Lifreia suddenly let her mouth shut. It is a bit unusual for her to expose such a look in public these days.

You said, "You should use the word" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "Apparently, this isn't a stylish place, so it doesn't have to be. Is something wrong?

When I was stuck responding, Rudd-Lou called out, "Wouldn't that be nice?"

"Men by the woods, except for guys like Gazran-Rutim, they all talk a lot.... than that, don't you have to start working?

"Right. If you're faking it, you're going to be in the middle of nowhere, so why don't we just get some delicious sweets ready?"

Ever since I mentioned it that way, Eurifia has looked around at us.

"I just need to tell you one thing before I do. I was only going to have the folks by the woods make confectionery today...... could I have another cook added?

Eurifia's gaze was eventually fixed under Tour-Din.

Tour-Din looks normal and says, "Yes, yes."

"Well, that's okay, of course... but what the hell is wrong with you?

"He's given you a name for wanting to keep the cook on the same day as you. Sounds like you and Rimi-Lou were interested in making sweets while you were late."

That's what I said, Eurifia chuckled.

"We've had names on this occasion before, right? It's a man named Dia, the head chef at Genos Castle."

"What!" he jumped up was Limi-Lu. Of course I'm in the same mood.

"Dia, as amazing as Varcus is, is that who they say it is? Um... come on?

"Yes, the cook's bi-perfect. Though when a cook named Michele worked in Castle Town, he seemed secretly to be referred to as the three biggest cooks.... Can you understand that?

"Yes. Absolutely."

With nervousness and Daw Young's muddled face, Tour-Din nodded. As for his son, he had just been named in Silver Star Hall, and in the past, Timaro had been able to explain the beauty of his arms.

When Eurifia smiled satisfactorily, she rang the bell on the tabletop and called for her lowest surname.

"Bring me Dia. 'Cause you're supposed to be resting between refraining."

"Yes, I did," the lowest surname said, heading toward the building in a rough foothold.

Merrim spoke with a smile as he dropped off that back.

"The man named Dia, among other things, makes a name for himself in the making of confectionery. My heart will play to see what sweets we can feed you"

"Oh, I wonder if you've ever spoken of Diane's confectionery?

"Yes, because I didn't have much opportunity to attend the feast of Castle Genos."

"Oh, your partner, Polearth, didn't hold any positions until last year, did he? It's incredible how much work you've done."

After stating so, Eurifia stroked the hair of her beloved son.

"Though Odifia is obsessed with Tour-Din confectionery, you think I never lose even Dia confectionery. I'm so excited to hear what you think."

"So you're interested in a taste comparison?

To Merrim's words, Eurifia shook her head "no".

"I can't compare the flavors. Dia's confectionery is what makes Dia lumpy with one eye."

"Oh, that's right," Rittia responds calmly. Countess Taruttia must have had more than one mouthful of diabetic cooks' treats and dishes.

(The only people by the woods who have spoken of the man's dishes are the faces that were invited to the Martial Arts Festival. Lara-Luu said it wasn't in my memory for once either...)

And since it was a feast that day with a large number of guests, it must have been a feast dish in the form of a standing party. It was also unclear how far he had been involved in cooking, as the person named Dia, who was in the position of head chef, would have been entrusted with the partitioner.

What personality and arm does that person, who is regarded as equivalent to Varcus, possess? I waited for the person to show up with a great sense of anticipation.

And - me and Tour-Din were to be made to look up to the heavens with all my heart.

"We have brought Dear Dia"

With a guide to the lowest surname, the person approaches us.

What floated on its face was a very soft smile that did not soothe the hearts of the beholder.

"I am holding the head chef of Castel Genos, my name is Dia. Thank you for great food and sweets the other day"

Neither me nor Tour-Din could return a word like that.

That was two days ago, when the Gazran-Rutims visited our stall on the verge of returning from the castle town, an elderly woman in a traveler's guise.
