1000 Rain Tea Party (1) - Face to Face

Six days after completing the interaction with the Saudis - the eighth day of the Zhu moon.

We were heading to the castle town in the rain to take care of the tea party cook.

When I think of it, I remember going to the castle town last year during the rainy season.That was probably after Ei Fa's birthday, so was the rainy season coming to an end?At the beginning of the rainy season, I fell into the "Amshorn Breath", so I couldn't attend such an event.

The same is true of the Swan Palace.I, Ai-Fa, Tour-Din, and Limi Lou looked the same, except that the other guardian was Ze-Din, the father of Tour-Din.

The blood of Gazz, Rats, and Baim is a rest period, so the guards will be able to do whatever they want.But this time, it was decided that Zei-Din would accompany you without asking you for a job.Recently, Tour-Din and Odifia have been making progress in their family relationship, so that would be a reflection of that.Tortoise's car for the Swan Palace had a truly happy look on his face.

Ehehe. It's been a long time since the tea party!I wonder if everyone will be happy!

And Limi Lou laughs very pleasantly while sticking to Ai-Fa with Limi Lou.Keeping the tea party chef is now positioned as a fun event for everyone.I felt kind of pleasant when I thought about how I got here.

"This lady's tea party began to be called Kamadori's turn around the forest to convince Odifia that she wanted to eat the sweets made by Tour-Din.I wonder if Tur-Din's feelings of gratitude and annoyance were stronger back then?

"Hmm? Well, that might have been the case... but I'm really happy to see you now, Odifia!

"Yeah, I'm glad the Toul-Din bonds have gone so far.I hope you're happy today. "

When I supplemented it like that, Toul-din immediately regained his happy expression and nodded "yes."Zei-Din is watching such a tour-din with a very kind eye.

We have arrived at the Swan Palace.

After a while, the door of the Totos car is opened by the samurai's hand.Gardel was still taking care of himself and resting, and a familiar old samurai played the role of lord.

The entrance to the shrine was covered with a large drawstring, which allowed the door to pass through without getting wet in the rain.On the other side were Sheila and Nicolas, maids of Count Durham's house.

"I've been expecting you, folks around the forest.... Lady Ey-Fa, it's been a long time. "

As always, it is a favorable shaylah to Ai-Fa.

Then Nicolas lowered her head with her usual disgusting face.

"Thank you very much for allowing me to visit the kitchen today.Thank you in advance for your patience. "

"Yes, thank you very much.... is Platica already joining you ladies?

"Yes, by now you'll be enjoying tea and chatting."

Platica today was invited as a guest by Eurifia.So last night we had to spend the night in the Earl of Durham's house, not in a forest settlement.Of course, they also enjoyed Yang and Nicolas' work, hoping to visit the cook.

"Now, let me show you to the bathhouse.This way, please. "

Guided by Sheila and Nicolas, we pushed through the chalk corridor.

Zei-Din was calm because he had previously gone to Genos Castle to pay his respects to Odifia.

There are separate bathing halls in the Shiratonomiya for men and women, so once they are done differently, they will each purify themselves.

Then they took off their clothes, and were alone in the steamy bathhouse, and Zei-Din opened his mouth to rust.

"It's Aster. The fact that Tour had an affair with Odifia was probably because he was allowed to work under Asta.I wanted to say thank you again to Asta. "

"Huh? No, I don't want to thank you.I didn't bring the Tour-dins together. "

"But if Tour hadn't gotten his confectionery hands-on from Astor, he wouldn't have had such an edge.I am sincerely grateful for bringing Tulle an irreplaceable connection. "

Zei-Din is an honest and picturesque personality.Looking back at that serious face with a white steam, I gave it a smile.

"If you could say that to Zei-Din, I would be grateful for your words of gratitude, but... because Tour-Din was more enthusiastic about his work than anyone else, I was able to wear that kind of arm.I think it is the presence of the heart of Tur-Din who wanted to live correctly as a people near the forest that has spinned the bond with Odifia. "

"... hmm. Tulle is Tulle, and I'm too good for her."

And Zei-Din smiled like a jazz.Though his face is not very similar, his father and daughter laugh in a similar way.

That's how I got back in time, not just to my body, but to my heart.

What you prepared was a familiar cooking outfit every time.And through my arm, I looked back at Zei-Din and said, "Ah."

I see. At the tea ceremony, the guards were allowed to change their clothes. "

"Hmm. That's what Tour told me... How should I put this together?

Zei-Din, one of the lower bands, lowered his eyebrows unreliably, and the surname, who was holding back like a shadow, approached without a sound.

"I'm here to help.Please wear these underwear first. "

After a while, Zei-Din's foam change will be complete.It is the dress of a samurai in the castle town based on beautiful pure white.In order to entertain the eyes of the lady, or because it was a costume so beautiful that she could attend the castle town feast as it is, not only me but also the surname was watching.

"Very... well suited.Would you like me to fix your hair with oil?

"Oil, hair?

"Yes, many people in the castle use these oils to shape their hair."

When the surname opened the lid of the glass bottle, Zei-Din said "no" with a sedimentary look.

"I would like to refrain from applying such a scented product to my body.I'm sorry I wasted all my kindness. "

"No, of course not.Even if you don't fix your hair, you look great.... "

I'm sure it's not a social resignation, because a boy with a small surname has a gentle look on his face.It should have been quite a story to impress a boy with a small surname who would often be a noble opponent.

But I don't know how he feels either.Zei-Din is a medium-back, less visible figure, but this samurai's dress suits the hunters around the forest.

That must be because the hunters around the forest are rigorously training their bodies.In addition, the forest people generally have a strong and supple proportions with long limbs and tight hips.Since this samurai's dressing is a design that fits my body, I thought that such beauty would be revealed even more.

(And Zei-Din doesn't look bad either.)

It is only around the forest that it is not very prominent.In the first place, the people around the forest are many people with sharp but deep carved faces, and Zei-Din is not drawn from that example.The face with only a moustache was masculine enough to take a good look at it, and it had a lot of tannins, and it was supposed to have the charm of an adult.

Well, here you go.

Guided by his surname, he is brought back to the corridor again.

Then the women appeared through the door next door.Ai Fa is a samurai white dress just like Zei Din, and Tour Din and Limi Lou are apron dresses when they were maids.

"Well, that's how the crowd dresses up."

In the words of Zei-Din, Tour-Din blushed his cheeks adorably.

"Yeah. It's actually an asterisk costume for a crowd, but we're still a little small... it's kind of embarrassing for Dad to see us."

"That would make me so unusual.I think you look great. "

When Zei-Din smiles thinly, Toul-Din also slaps his mouth shyly.

I was supposed to be opposed to being a princess knight with a little maid hanging on my left arm.

"Ai Fa's outfit is also a bit rusty.As always, it suits you. "

"... I'll take it as a compliment."

Ai Fa, who is unconcerned about dressing in the first place, has the usual appearance.Sheila and others, who helped her put it on, glanced at Ai-Fa.No one must be able to imagine how pathetic and adorable Eye Fa is in bed like this.

"Now, I will guide you.This way, please. "

Explore the corridor once again with Sheila's guidance.On the way, Nicolas left "Excuse me."He will guide the chefs of the castle town who are kept in separate rooms.

Two other cooks have been invited today.

Eventually, they arrived at the destination, where they had two women - Chef Dia of Genos Castle and Cyril Rowe, Vulcan's apprentice.

"It's been a long time, folks around the forest.Thank you for your patience. "

First of all, Diamonds greet you with a gentle smile.An elderly woman with a very calm appearance.

At the end of the day, Cyril Lowe lowers her head slightly with the same tough face.

"I am delighted to be able to keep the same cook with Hisasa today.... I'd like to thank the people of Fa's house again later. "

Ai-Fa nodded back with a solemn look.The dates for inviting Sili-Row and Roy to Fa's house were finally decided, but since those interactions were with Nicolas, it was supposed to be since Geld's farewell party.

"Excuse me. Today, I've introduced the cooks who keep the kitchen."

Following Sheila's call, the door opened.

Step into the tea ceremony in the order of Dia, Cyril Row, and the line around the forest.The interior of the room was much warmer than the corridor and brighter as a sunny day.

"I've been expecting you.Everyone seems to be the same. "

First of all, Eurifia, the organizer, has delivered an elegant smile.

Rooms are modest in size, but decorated in a palatial fashion.The fireplace set in the back of the room is lit with red fire, and the lady is wearing cold weather during the rainy season with her shoulders and knees.

There were three round tables in the room, two of which were filled by eight ladies.It was as many people as I had heard beforehand - but I felt a faint discomfort.And before I knew what that discomfort was, Ey-Fa spoke out sharply.

"It's Eurifia. I think it's a little different from the facial expressions I heard in advance."

"Oh, that's right.We need to explain that first.In fact, because astrologer Arishna had another fever, I invited someone else. "

Well, Arishna wasn't there.She was told that she soon became ill at the start of the rainy season, so was it caused by the disturbances surrounding the cult that turned her back on?

So, who came instead of me, I rushed around in a hurry.

Adjacent to Eurifia is his daughter Odifia, staring at Toul-Din with her grey eyes sparkling.

Surrounded by the same table are Ritier, the mother of Porcus, and Merrim, his partner.Sheila and Nicolas also worked as maids because they were invited.

Now, the other round table - facing the front with us - is Refraea, Dial on the right hand side, Platica on the left hand side, and the faces of those people are as they were informed in advance.

Then, the person who is facing Refrea at your round table is the eighth person who suddenly became a seat attendee.The man leaned over the chair and showed us his face.

Linen forehair hides my eyes, but my smiling mouth is surprisingly cute.The long hair is tied like a ponytail and the white nose is very glossy.He was wearing a fancy woven shoulder strap on a luxurious shoulder, which made the person look more elegant.

(Yes, I wonder if she's some kind of lady who's going to be the first to attend.)

When I thought that way, the man shifted his body even further towards us.

At the same time, I'm stunned.

"I'm sorry.I've learned a lot about the innocence of interrupting a gentle gathering of ladies... but I couldn't stop thinking about it. "

The person, who looked more generous than anyone else, smiled as if he was sorry.

It was nothing but Fermez, a diplomat in King's Landing.

"Fermes? What the hell is that look...?

"Yes, it's the result of my thinking that we can keep the peace at least by looking at it."

Fermez, who spoke like that, was a gentle lady herself.

No, I'm not dressed up as a woman.However, they only wear long coats with more embroidery than usual and wear necklaces and arm decorations.At best, he was tied up with long, flax-colored hair - that's all he looked like more than anyone else.

"... is that also because the Aug of the Underboss is comfortable traveling to King's Landing?

Fermez smiled pitifully "no" when Ai-Fa questioned him with a loud voice.

"Of course, I'll have to write this down myself.However, there is no denying the dazzling side of the delicious confectionery that Astas make. "

"... Asta today is supposed to be just helping Tour-din and Limi Lou."

"Yes, I was looking forward to seeing how delicious the sweets would be."

Then Eurifia, who smiled ridiculously, delivered the words from the table next door.

"Do diplomats, Lord Fermez, want to deepen ties with the two of you at Fa's house?And I heard that Ai Fa and the others accepted that feeling and came to the same feeling... so was there no mistake?

"Hmm, I'm sure there's no mistake..."

"If Ai-Fa and the others don't feel comfortable, Lord Fermez says he'll be back soon.Can you honestly tell me how you feel because the people around the woods will never get any worse?

After a deep sigh, Ai-Fa looked at Eurifia and Fermez with her eyes half closed.

"I'm not complaining gradually.It just feels like I've been deceived by something... is that because I'm small?

"I'm sure that's why you still feel neglectful about me.I want to deepen my ties with Eye-Fahs so that I can resolve those feelings. "

Fermez sends a slightly sweet look to Ai-Fa.Of course, my beloved parents looked like a bobcat smelled of corn.

"I feel a great deal of gratitude for you, and I also want to deepen the bond correctly.... but I don't like being stared at with such eyes. "

"I'm sorry," Fermez smiled like a lewd fairy.

Fermes is the beauty of the noble lady, and Ai-Fa is, after all, the dressing of a samurai for men.Looking at it, I felt comfortable being shown in a theatre with a complex theme.

"I'm really sorry. I didn't know what would happen to Arishna until this morning, so I didn't have to send an envoy.If this were to shake my faith in the Marquis of Genos, I would have to change my mind..... "

"I'm not going to tell you that much.I just do my job as a guard. "

Eurifia smiled reassuringly as Ey-Fa stood in her shoes.

"Thank you. Is everyone else alive?Well then, I'd like to enjoy your sweets with these faces today. "

Dia and Cyril Rowe greeted each other respectfully, so me and Limi Rowe and Toor-Din were in a hurry.

Eurephia moves her gaze closer to Zei-Din, who stands secretly behind us diagonally.

"Besides, Zei-Din... I'm glad to see you, Hisabita.The uniform of a samurai suits you very well. "

"Yeah, really. It's a dazzling vibrancy."

And Countess Durham Ritia, the mother of Pollux, beat her gavel in a sly manner.Zei-Din was gratuitously paying his respects, but his eyes were soft to look back at Eurifia.

Well then, let's talk about it with you guys as a fun time, let's prepare some sweets first.Odifia, Merrim and Platica would love to see the cook, but would you mind?

Of course, there was no one who could dispute the offer.

The three named men stood up and approached us gently.Odifia, who thanked the lady for everyone, of course quickly moved to the front of Tour-Din.

"Thank you for coming today, Tour-din.... ah, Zei-Din too... "

And Odifia glanced up at Zei-Din.

Zei-Din stares back at her with the same kind eyes as she looks at her daughter.

"I'm glad that Odifia is feeling so well.Besides, has it grown slightly in the last few moments?

"Odifia, did you get it?

"No, he must have grown tall and had the meat he deserved.It looked very healthy and reassuring. "

"Thank you," said Odifia, sparkling grey eyes.

Again, even with this kind of folding, it still looked like a French doll, but not only the glow of its eyes, but also the aura of happiness from its small body was overflowing.

And Tur-Din looks at such an Odifia with love.It was also like staring at an important family member.

Well then, I'll show you to the kitchen.

Once again, Sheila acted as a guide and led us to the kitchen.

There are five men near the forest, Dia and Syri-Law, Odifia and Merrim and Platica, and two army officers to escort the lady.But when he arrived in front of the cook, Diamond left with a soft smile.

"I'm ready for another room... and I'm looking forward to your sweets."

Speaking of which, Diamonds was working in a separate room even when we were at a tea party before.

Well, after working in the same place, it's not easy to look at the work.We had no choice but to look forward to the finished diamond treats.

When I stepped back into the kitchen, Nicolas, who was ahead of me, and Roy, who would have been sitting there, were waiting for me.

"I'm sorry to bother you.Don't worry about us, go ahead with your work. "

Roy came closer to me after thanking Merrim for his treacherous smile.

"Hey, it's been a while.Thank you for listening to me push you into your house. "

"Yes, I'm looking forward to it.When the tea party is over, let's decide on a meeting time. "

"Yeah, I'll see you later."

Anyway, now we have to do the work of the tea party.Being watched by the ladies and samurai, we decided to start work.

Odifia and Merrim, lined up by the wall, watch the cooking scene as they speak with Zei-Din.Merrim was a very social personality, so he quickly broke up with Zei-Din.

"Ah, you were Tur-Din's father.Porcus wants to talk to you.Perhaps you are brave enough to be called a hero in six clans.... "

"No, I won the heroic seat at the harvest festival before that.A man who loses his seat at once is not worthy of calling himself a true hero. "

"Really?Seven hunters, including you, were called the proud brave men of the Six Families, and I wondered... was that my mistake? "

No, I'm not mistaken.At the harvest festival where Pollus was invited as a guest, I remember very clearly what the head of the orchid said.

When I was thinking like that, I heard Odifia say "yes."

"Zei-Din was amazing from the beginning.It was so awesome... it was so awesome. "

"Of course, that's right.It's lovely that my son, Tour-din, is a famous cook and your father, Ze-din, is one of the best hunters. "

What kind of face does Zei-Din look like when she is pinched by one of the most generous princesses in the world?I was inspired by a lot of curiosity, but it was difficult to let go of my work now.

(Speaking of which, Roy, Cyril Row, and Refreah were invited to the Harvest Festival.I would like you to take this opportunity to deepen your ties with Zei-Din.)

Tour-din and Limi Lou are also working hard.Because I am both assistant, I go to and come to the workbench.

After a while, when my hands were finally free, Ey-Fa stood back as if she had been waiting for it.

"It's Aster. I wonder why Fermes is such a thing."

Such words whisper in a quiet voice.

I didn't know what I was dissatisfied with, but I decided to check it out.

"Does that mean that you're going to do something that's going to upset the nerves of Ey-Fa?

"... I don't think it would make me feel like I'm here if it was just Fermez sitting in place of Arishna.But he shouldn't seem to be enjoying our surprise.That's what makes me angry. "

"I wonder if that's the personality I was born with.See, that's one side of Camus, isn't it?Recently, I'm not getting mad at you. "

"... Camuer-Josh doesn't stick to you alone."

Ey-Fa turned his mouth into a letter and went back to the wall.

After all, we will end up at that point.Ai Fa feels a great deal of gratitude for Fermez in the Tier case, and hopes to deepen the bond correctly - only my obsession with me still doesn't seem to like insects.

(Even I wouldn't like insects if Fermez was obsessed with Ai-Fa.)

With that in mind, I was summoned to my next job by Limi Lou.
