1053 Chef's Edition of Tasting and Castle Town (4) - The Right Fate

So, after a while...

The results of today's taste comparison are finally available.

"Today, 102 people participated in the taste comparison ceremony.As before, you will be awarded a medal from 1st to 3rd place, so please remember that. "

We listened with solemnity to the lovely voice of Jagal's surname.Today, I have finished greeting you early, and I am surrounded by crowds in the large hall.I was surrounded by fellow countrymen from the woods, Yumi, Louis, and Terria-Mouth on TV.

"I wonder who will be awarded the medal.One at a time, your chest is a bit noisy! "

That's what Yumi says with a smiling face.

The other faces also have a roughly effortless look.Solemn feelings are a tribute to the people who cooked, and in fact, they do not value the results of taste comparison.

However, members such as Tour-Din and Yun-Sudra, whose temperamental kindness was easy to show, had a somewhat uneasy appearance.I wonder how disappointing Cyril Rowe would be if Vulcus were to have a poor outcome again.

After I lost my way, I was throwing a star at Vulcan.

Yang's confectionery and bozzle dishes were also excellent, but Vulcan's dishes surprised me from the bottom of my heart, so I decided to value their impact.

Besides, it was an incredibly delicious dish.I was never blind, and I followed my heart and Vulcan put the stars in me.

Now, I'm going to announce it.

In the quiet hall, the voice of the fiancée often echoes.

"The number one dish is from Vulcus, the owner of Silver Star Hall, who won 53 stars."

After a while of silence, a cheer wound up in the momentum of rage.

I'm getting a little paranoid, too.Even though I voted myself, I had no expectation of an overwhelming victory that would attract more than half the votes.

Vulcus and Cyril Rowe stepped forward in a loud cheer and applause.

Vulcus has the usual open-ocean appearance, with a slightly fluttering footprint.My body is approaching its limits because I was forced to stay to talk to the nails.

After all, Cyril Rowe grabbed the Vulcan costume hem and held her eyes in a woven fabric.It looks like a toddler, but I don't think I can see the front because of the tears.On behalf of a master who has no interest in such entertainment, Sici-Law is showing joy.

Although I was also in a position not to place any weight on the ritual of taste comparison, I was able to give a heartfelt applause to the fact that Sici-Law's hardship and carelessness had been cleared.

(Still, 53 votes... that's a great result.)

Vulcus, who had been awarded a yellow medal on his chest, retreated to the side of His Highness Dakarmas.

Waiting for the cheers to calm down, the surname raised his voice again.

"Next, the second place is the dish of Bozzle, who won 12 stars."

This time a warm cheer and applause will be given to the bozzle.

The bozzle was given a blue medal with a somewhat relieved expression.

If he then retreated to the side, Roy immediately whispered to Sili-Raw.Siri-Raw nodded a lot about what he was saying before eventually slipping into Roy's arm.

"The third place is equal to two pairs.... the chef of the Count of Durham, Jan, and the owner of Selva's Spear Pavilion, Timaro, who each earned 10 stars. "

Here again, I was astonished.

Maybe you're surprised Diamonds didn't win.Along with Vulcan, she was in a position to be called Genos' twin.

Below is the fourth place with 8 votes for diamonds, the fifth place with 4 votes for the chef of the Count of Saturas, and the sixth place with 2 votes each for "Four Wings Hall" and "Villas' Helmets".

After all the results were published, Dakarmas' summary was presented as usual.

"Again, you've had some really interesting results!Let's start with Vulcan, who won first place with a staggering number of votes!You will be familiar with Lord Vulcus's true qualities, which I was unable to demonstrate at previous tastings, and I am impressed!That dish... was a surprising finish anyway!It's definitely delicious, but more than that, it must have been the only one in the wonder!That's how I remember that none of you had the same amazement in this room! "

His Royal Highness Dakarmas, who has always been in good spirits, seemed to be thrilled today.

"What's more interesting is the breakdown of 53 votes!We are inviting people from all walks of life to this venue, but they voted very evenly for Lord Vulcus!Genos' nobles, the chefs of the castle town, the people of the dormitory town, the people of the forest, the people of Jagal, the people of Sims - roughly half of them threw stars at Lord Vulcus!That amazing dish must be a testament to the huge impact it has made, regardless of who you are! "

It was certainly an astonishing story.

However, it has already been found to be true with regard to the kamado number near the forest.We were secretly talking because it was okay to tell each other if they had finished voting.As a result, half of Kamado's number by the forest - me and Reina Lou, Mime and Marfila-Naham - were throwing stars at Vulcans.

"Many words have been delivered to people in the inn towns and forests that, although they have done a great job, they are not at all helpful for your own cooking!But! Stars were thrown at Lord Vulcus among them!Even if you don't think you can cook, you can't help but add stars!That's painfully understandable!I've been chasing food for a long time, but I've never been more surprised than today!From the bottom of my heart, I would like to offer my blessings to Lord Vulcan! "

With so much enthusiasm, Vulcus still has a blurry and indifferent expression.Until then, however, it seemed that Cyril Rowe was weeping.

His Highness Dakarmas continued to speak with great enthusiasm.

It was said that the votes were roughly evenly divided between the second and third places.It was said that people of various identities living in Genos were constantly throwing stars to exclude people from the east and south because of the small number of people.

Most of the eight votes for the diamond were aristocrats or chefs in the castle town.Diamond confectionery stimulates parts of the stomach that are different from the stomach. I think this is the only thing that exists, but it seems that we were unable to gather support from people who want something honest and delicious - which was the reputation of His Highness Dakarmas.

And with regard to the remaining three, the resemblance to Vulcan's original personality became a vendetta.

In short, because it is similar to Vulcus but inferior in terms of completeness, people seeking complex and exciting flavors have voted against Vulcus.Below second place, the lower the similarity with Vulcans, the higher the ranking seems to have settled.

It is quite strange that Vulcan's Apprentice Bozzle came second - the dishes were not at all similar to Vulcan's, so there is no need to wonder.Bozzles are not imitating Vulcans, but applying Vulcans' manners to their own Jaguar cuisine.His Highness Dakarmas spoke for a long time about the height of his will and the crystallization of his unwavering efforts.

Then, if the summing up that took more time than ever, it would be about half an hour of chat time.

The winners of the day were invited to His Highness Dakarmas, so we were allowed to spend time as we please.

"... good work, everyone"

And Platica approached me in the silence of an assassin.One step behind, K'Kluel and Arishna also arrived.The other three became accustomed to the atmosphere of the tasting party and took a different course of action.

"Thank you very much. Number one was Vulcus."

"Yes, of course.I, Vulcan, have entered the stars. "

"Really?" Arishna leans her head like a graceful shamcat.

"Sure, it was an amazing dish, but my taste is different.I, Bozzle, voted. "

"Unlike me, the dishes we aim for are different.But this impression could not be suppressed. "

"Well, you mean each of them!I put it in Vulcan too, but I've had a lot of trouble with bozzle cooking! "

Yumi, who is familiar with Platica, talks cheerfully.

Then, K'Kluel, who was silently staring at you.

"You are the agent of the master of Nishikaido.I was hoping to say hello the other day, but I didn't get a chance. "

"Hmm? Have you seen him anywhere?"

"Yes, I ordered food at your inn at the last Easter."

"I don't remember that old thing!There are a lot of people from the east coming to our inn! "

Yumi laughed sharply, and K'Kluel stared at the calm feeling.

Meanwhile, Platica is burning her purple eyes.

"Last time, I was motivated to continue.And three days later, there will be a tasting party by the people around the forest.I'll be motivated even more. "

"Oh, that's right.Well, I don't want to be upset, but I want to bring you delicious food. "

"Yes, that's enough."

After that, Reina Lou and the others had a big discussion together.

Vulcan cuisine is still the focus of attention, but they also mention bozzles, Jan, Timaro, and diamonds.Surprisingly, Levi and Louis had voted for Timaro.

"I guess I was most moved by Timaro's cuisine.The dishes in the bozzle were delicious, but I didn't feel so far apart from the cooking of the asters... I wasn't surprised.But Timaro's cuisine was genuine, because it tasted like something I didn't know. "

"Wow, I was somehow struck by that dish.The candy of a person named Diamond is also true, but it feels very elegant.... "

"I see. You can't be born and raised alone."

Of course, that's obvious, but it's hard to get a sense of it.

After a while, Eurifia and Odifia, who stood from their seats, and Rifleia and Chiffon-Cher also came here.Refleia said, "I don't have enough to talk about."Of course we welcomed them with our hands up.

Even the chefs of the castle town are asking for dialogue.He wants to know what he thinks today about the Kamado number near the forest and the kitchen number of the station town.

For them, the cooking of the lower three would have been the royal road so far.But the result is as follows, and only eight people have voted for the next three.Since there were only 25 cooks in the castle town who had the right to vote, the majority of them threw stars at another person.

"Currently, the fashion of cooking in the castle town is probably a little bit moving.If we don't do our part, we'll be left behind in the times. "

That's what one of the cooks said.

Yumi, who enjoyed chatting with Refrea, turned around again.

"But how did the fashion change over there?The towns of the stadium have changed a lot thanks to Astas, but you didn't have that much influence, did you? "

"That's...", the chef in the castle town clapped his mouth.

Then Refraea shrugged her shoulders and spoke.

"I can see the look on your face.I mean, it's my father. "

"Father of Refleia? Why is that coming?"

"My father only handed the rare ingredients to the houses and restaurants he was welcoming.That's why in Castle Town, the way you get along with your father - how you can use a wide variety of ingredients - determines the personality of the cook. "

Indeed, Roy remembered hearing such a word a long time ago.Then it must have been an unparalleled common perception for the chefs of the castle town.

"But my father's loss made most of the ingredients available to everyone.Initially, the chefs in the castle town were also joyful and brave.Now that everyone can make a great meal, I'm going to use a lot of ingredients. "

"... yes. Now that we have seen Lord Vulcus and Lord Dia's realm..."

"That would be a huge deception.You must have misunderstood the purpose and the means. "

"Purpose and means?" Yumi tilted her head.

Refleia laughs thinly, "Yes," she says.

"Vulcans and diamonds use a variety of ingredients to make great food.However, the other cooks had the mistake of using a variety of ingredients to make a fine dish. "

"Ah, Asta came by and talked like that.But if you rarely throw in ingredients, you can't cook well, can you? "

"That's why, as I said earlier, that's what happened because of my father.Only people who are friendly with their father can handle a variety of ingredients, and cooks who can handle a variety of ingredients are the best.... for example, the Count of Durham didn't give me all the ingredients at the time, so the man named Yang should have been treated like a second-rate cook. "

"Oh, that guy? I mean, didn't you even give the Earls the ingredients?"

"I'm sure your lord did something to touch your father's mind.I stopped delivering the ingredients, so I couldn't resist my father any more. "

Refraea never disturbed herself and said so with a calm voice.

"Anyway, my father lost his temper and everyone was free to handle the ingredients.But I wonder what kind of fate prank it is.Since then, there have been more and more ingredients available to Genos.I wonder... was that you? "

It was K'Kluel that Refraea turned to.

Without joy, K'Kluel nodded one by one.

"Is that what you're talking about in the Bardo area?"

"Yes, that's it. It must have been... about a year since the auditors of King's Landing arrived?"

"I think it was the yellow moon last year."

"Yes. By the same time, we should be able to handle gibber meat in the castle town.And in the past year or so, I've been able to handle Geld and the ingredients from King's City in the south... oh, and there were misos, and then there were banana black fuwanos and white mammalian vinegar.Every time there were more of those ingredients, I wonder if the castle town also held a review meeting. "

"Princess Refreah is right."

"I don't know because I'm not a cook, but as soon as my father lost his legs and suddenly there were all kinds of ingredients, that was all new.I wonder if there's any confusion here. "

"Yeah, but that's the same thing in the workplace town, right?I thought we were going to look around! "

In Yumi's words, Refraea smiled.

"But you don't buy unnecessary ingredients at your inn, do you?Even Nunyompa said he only used it in the previous cooking. "

"Well, there's no need to buy ingredients that are useless.In the first place, novel ingredients are expensive! "

"Yes, but the chefs in the castle town are attracted to the assumption that they're not top-notch unless they use a variety of ingredients.I couldn't get rid of the assumption that no matter how much copper I spent to make a rich life, I had to use a variety of ingredients to make a fine meal. "

"... is that why you made such a loud dish?"

It was Levi who spoke so loudly.

"Probably," says Refrea, giving away chestnut hair that has grown considerably longer.

"I myself thought that that kind of food was wonderful.I still don't think it's a dish I can't cook right now.... but by taking the aster, I was able to discover that it has a very different taste. "

"Ahahah, you don't have to pull yourself out like that."

Yumi smiled breathlessly, but Levi was serious.

"But, Princess, not only did I think that Vulcans and Diamonds were amazing, but I also thought that Timaro and Jan were amazing cooks and sweets."

"Oh, yes. Timaro, the deputy chef of the Earl of Turan's family, who treated the rare ingredients as he liked them, and Jan, who struggled with just a few ingredients... each of them walked on a completely different path, and each of them seemed to have found their own flavour.Perhaps you should be guided not by Vulcans or diamonds, but by those two?Vulcans and diamonds are too unique to be apprenticed. "

The chefs in the castle town looked at each other with a contemporary look.

And one of them decides to speak.

"Exactly, I know it's true.And I heard that Yang took on the task of distributing novel ingredients in the stadium town, so he turned to the outside of the castle town... and got to wear such an arm.So we also want to talk to the people in the workplace town..... "

"Of course, I didn't mean to interrupt it.I just wanted to answer your question. "

"Eh, me? Did I say something?"

"Why did you question why the fashion is shifting in the castle town?It's so swallowing to let people talk like this. "

"Ah, yes, yes!But you were having fun talking about it too!... ah, was that so bad for you? "

"For today, I'll spill your eyes."

Finally, the conversation began between the chefs of the castle town.

While I join you in your conversation, I bite into the words that Refraea told me.Certainly, the chefs in the castle town may have been cursed in some way by Cycleus.

(But Vulcans and Diamonds kept working on a variety of ingredients to come up with great dishes.I wonder if there is any side to it that the two of you were able to get extra excited because they succeeded.)

And Michael.

What kind of fate prank is this, Michael's maneuver to take advantage of the original flavor of the ingredients, was cut off by Psycheus from living as a cook.If Michael had succumbed to Cycleus and continued to cook his own food under his protection, there might have been a different fashion in the castle town.

I have no intention of resenting Cycleus, who has already returned his soul.

But if there had been a fate distorted by its existence, it would have had to be right.

(... that reminds me of His Highness Dakarmas' ruthless behavior.)

When I thought like that, the tone of the cool bell rang.

"That concludes today's tasting session.The part that could not be exhausted today is that it will be three days later.... good work, everyone. "

That's what Pollus's voice told me.It is an extremely light closing remark, but it is the characteristic of this tasting that is not stylish.

First of all, you guys disappear from the side door, and after we drop it off, we'll be disbanded.In order not to crowd the corridor, it was usual for the residents of the castle town to leave first, and finally for the residents of the post town and the forest area to leave the main hall.

Also, since the escort has to change clothes, they will guide you to a separate room.While I waited for it, the woodside kamadochan continued their cooking arguments with enthusiasm.

Then finally going out to the front yard of the Red Bird Palace, of course, the area is dark.Since the start of the tasting was at the fifth hour of the descent, it was just before the voting started that the sunset was reached.

The vestibule is still filled with people.Regardless of where you live, it will take time to get into the Totos for pick-up and drop-off, so it will take time to figure out what to do with this number of people.

And as I watched the bustle, I was blurring, and I said, "What's wrong?"Lips pulled up.

"You look stunned.Have you accumulated fatigue? "

"Oh, no, I was just thinking.... what Lyelfam-Sdra said yesterday. "

"Hmm. Is that what this will do to Genos?"

"Yeah. I didn't really think about how fate would change when people from downtown and the township approached me... but today, I think I realized a little bit."

"I see," Ey-Fa looked a little surprised.

"I thought if you were me, you'd be happy that the bonds between the people you're welcoming will only deepen."

"Yes, of course, but I think that's enough to make sense.I never had the opportunity to talk to the people of the castle so often. "

In the front yard of the palace at night lit by a scorching fire, people in the workplace town get into a Totos car as they speak enthusiastically.It was also a pleasant margin for this tasting to see such an unusual sight.

"... so? Does your feeling of reality remain hidden in your chest?"

And the sound of Ai-Fa's voice echoed slightly.

I panicked and said, "No, no."

"It's going to be a long story, and I haven't been able to sort it out yet.When I get home, I'm going to let you listen to me slowly. "

"Even if I told you to go home..."

And so Limi Lou jumped into Ai-Fa's arm.

"I can finally go back to the forest!Ai Fa and the others are hungry, aren't they?What kind of dinner are Lara and the others preparing for us? "

Yes, because the guards are not qualified for a tasting, they will return to the forest for dinner.And since there was no other family at Fa's house to prepare dinner, I was always at Lou's house with my partner.

Ai Fa has a gentle look, stirring the reddish-brown hair of Limi Lou.

At that time, they finally told me that the Totos car was ready.

Limi Lou, who was called by Ziza Lou, ran away, and me and Ai Fa quickly followed it.On the way, I whispered to Ai-Fa.

"Sure, it's gonna take a while to get back home, but I'll sort it out in the meantime."

"Hmm, that's fine, but..."

And Ey-Fa quickly gazed around, and then cutely cut her lips.

"... not only can I not eat your food on this tasting day, but I can't eat dinner with you.I want to have the right destiny and the right thing to do to make this anger go away. "

"Yeah, let's hope so."

I laughed at Ai-Fa with all my heart.

Eye-Fa also pulled her lips and smiled softly.

The third time for me, the yellow moon ended up bustling to the end.
