1186 The Daoist at the End of the West (7) - Banquet

So by the time the fifth moment of the descent was slightly passed, the dinner party was finished.

After that, I was in a hurry to call a new one. Since the start of the banquet was set at five and a half minutes, it was quite a short time.

I was one of the men who attended the dinner party as a member of the kitchen, so Joe Lang would accompany me to the meeting. What was being prepared there was a Jaguar-style semi-dress that Princess Dellshare had secretly given me.

It is an extremely comfortable outfit that was to be worn at Princess Del Share's dinner party last month. The style is straight leggings with open collar and luxurious embroidery on the collar, which is widened to the chest. When he first saw it, Joe-Lan smiled vividly, “That's a fine costume.”

Then, as I moved between the seats, there were already a lot of men sitting there today. They were Dalí = Souti, Ziza = Lou, and Georg = Zaza. They were part of the same family as me.

"Jo-Ran from the Run family. And now that we're with Asta, I want you to go back to the women's guards."

"I understand."... you all look great in a castle dress. "

Leaving such words behind, Joel-Lan walked away, and Georgie-Zaza shrugged her shoulders, “That's funny.” Men on the edge of the forest are inattentive when it comes to costumes, as they are only accustomed to dressing up at their own weddings.

"Good work, everyone." You really look good in that outfit. "

"Hmm. This is an example of a costume prepared by Dell Share?" It's a really drunken thing to prepare something like this without asking. ”

Princess Dershare had ordered a tailor to create a semi-dress in advance in order to invite the people of Moribata to her own dinner party. Therefore, although eight men and women were independently selected to represent the people of the forest, these three people were also brilliantly included in the group.

It was said that the measurements were taken with reference to the banquet costumes that had been worn before, so the three of them were perfectly sized. Although not as luxurious as the banquet costumes, this elegant and stylish dress also suited the Dali-Sauthis well.

"Well, anyway, we can finally face the nobility of Tikatras." Since you seem to be a very easy person, Georg = Zaza should not be short-sighted. "

When Dali-Sauthi spoke up like that, Georg-Zaza laughed, "Fufu."

"If I = Fa could stay without any shortcomings, I wouldn't have to worry. I hope to be the eighth or the ninth companion. If it were normal, it would be an unbearable story."

"Hmm. It must have been because Ei = Fa calmed down and dealt with it that the conversation didn't get distracted." Damn, every time a new nobleman shows up, the Fa's house will be in trouble. ”

Dalí-Saudi turned his gaze to me, and I returned a smile, “No.”

"I'm coming from something strange, so half of it is like I deserved it." But I managed to get over it because everyone around the forest helped me as a compatriot. I think Ei = Fa feels the same way. ”

"Hmm. We should join forces this time to find the right path."

It was Ziza = Luu who declared so. As usual, it was a gentle stumble, but it still seemed to have nothing to do with being caught off guard.

After a while, when the ladies came to the pavilion, the scene was glorious.

The most honest Georg = Zaza said, "Oh!” he exclaims.

"Oh my, you're all dressed differently!" I thought you were dressed like us! "

"Y-Yes, it seems that it was the intention of the nobleman named Tikatras..."

In response, Toole-Din was dressed in the same way as the previous dinner party. The upper body is fitted, fluffy from the waist down, and covered with a jade-insect veil from the top of the shoulder to the upper part of the chest. This was the semi-female dress prepared by Princess Dell Share.

Then, the younger sister of the Souti family came forward with a smile, while Toure-Din was embarrassed.

"It looks like I wasn't ready for your costume." Then, only Tour-din and Lara-Roux had similar outfits, which seemed less desirable, so everyone was prepared for separate outfits. ”

What she was wearing was an embroidered piece that was stylish under the collar and around the sleeves. It was a dress of the same kind as the semi-dressage worn by the women around the forest at the tasting, and it was prepared for her without the costume of the castle town.

Lara-Lou wore a banquet costume that was worn at a glorification feast. This is also Jaguar-style, so it's not that different from Tourer-Din's décor. However, the collar is not open enough for the shoulders to be exposed, and the jade Veil is not worn, and since it is a banquet costume rather than a semi-dressage, it is lavishly made overall. However, it wasn't too extravagant, as there were very few decorations to balance out with the Tour-d 'Din.

"But... isn't Ai = Fa the only one decorated with a lot of luxury?"

When Georg = Zaza spoke up like that, Ai = Fa nodded in a grumpy manner.

“I was told to wear the same outfit to compare with what would be a portrait. I'm so unwilling to dress alone."

Yes, Eifa wore a bright crimson dress that she wore as a portrait model.

This is also Jaguar style, so the silhouettes are no different from Lara-Lou and Toure-Din - but the luxury of embroidery and ruffles is very different. And the silver and the ornaments of the jewels were gathered together, so that they were dazzlingly glossy.

"Well, it's been said that this is a dinner party to show off a portrait of Ai-Fa. If you look over there, maybe Ei = Fa is the main guest of honor?"

That's what Dalí-Sauthi said, smiling as if to soothe Ai-Fa.

"To decorate only one of the guests is an act that is not in our customs, but it is not enough to make a blind eye. You should respect the way you do things there as long as you can.”

"... hmm. It doesn't change my feelings of unwillingness."

Ei = Fa is dizzy and gets closer to me.

I didn't miss the fact that my eyes narrowed to my satisfaction after a glance at my neck. Of course, I remained wearing the black stone necklace that Eifa gave me on my birthday. I was allowed to wear it at the last dinner party, so there was no reason to take it off this time.

Sheila appears when the door is knocked on, “Excuse me.” Sheila smiled at Ai-Fa with a happy expression and then bowed.

"Please move to the venue as it will be time for the dinner party soon"

We were supposed to get out of the corridor in a row.

Dalí = Souti and Souti's youngest sisters, Ziza = Lou and Lara = Lou, Georga = Zaza and Toure = Din, me and Ei = Fa in turn. Looking at it from the rear, the combination of a man in a similar costume and a woman in a colorful costume was mixed with a good sense of unity and diversity, and it seemed not so bad.

However, after all, there is no denying the impression that Ei = Fa alone is lavish. And although this happens to be the case, today it is Ei = Fa alone who stands out as a feminine proposition.

(But it's true that everyone else doesn't feel like Ei = Fa.)

Lara = Lew, who is tall, has an extremely supple body, and her vitality is overflowing like a young deer. Also, if you naturally hang bright red hair that is always a ponytail, Lara = Lou will be particularly feminine. Lara-Lou, who was taking her steps in a castle town banquet costume, looked good from behind.

Sutti's youngest sister is probably about the same age as Lara = Lou, but she has the same cuteness as a small animal. Such a decent one-piece semi-dress would suit her very well, and would look very attractive to a boy of her generation.

Toole-Din loves his very existence. I'm sure he's more nervous than anyone else, but those of you who are walking hard with your spine outstretched can't help but feel a desire for shelter. And it seemed that the fact that she wasn't just being sheltered might add to the appeal.

(Thinking about that, I wonder if Tikatras was honest in his reaction when he first came out.)

By the time I got to that idea, I had arrived at my destination.

Sheila, who was allowed in, opened the door and as soon as we stepped into the room, she said, "Oh! A high-pitched voice echoed.

"You're here! You're here!" Come on, sit down! I decided on the order of seats! "

It was a hall with twenty seats, and two giant round tables for ten people were set up. Since the noble people are already divided into six people, it seems that the people on the forest side will be divided into four people.

The table on the right is Tikatras, Degion, Vichezo, Pol Earth, Merrim, and Princess Del Share, while the table on the left is the face of Malstein, Melfried, Eurifia, Odifia, Vermes, and Aug. The Dells, who had been ordered to remain in Genos, had not been invited to say, “How long are you going to hold us back!" I was secretly outraged. "

So, it seemed that Odifia's gaze was something of a surprise - that the team of me and Ei = Fa, Georg = Zaza, and Toole = Din were guided to the same table as Tikatras.

Eurifia rests her hand on her shoulder, gently calming her daughter, as Tour-Din sends her fierce gaze back to you. Tikatras was highly appreciative of Tuul-Din's abilities, so it must have been placed like this. At the very least, it was comforting to have a tea ceremony the day before Tikatras came and enjoyed a full chat.

By the way, Tikatras was clinging to his servants on the left and right, and he was dressed alongside Vichezzo with Ai-Fa, me, Tour-Din, Georg-Zaza. On the opposite side are Dell Share Princess, Polar Earth, and Merrim, with Georg = Zaza and Merrim next to each other.

"Oh, Ai = Fa!" Thanks to you, the portrait is complete! I'm going to unveil it at the end of the banquet, so please look forward to it! "

I returned the greeting while Ei = Fa remained silent. Tikatras narrowed his eyes at the sight.

"I knew that outfit would look good on you again!" Even if I burned that beauty into my heart and canvas, my eyes will be dazzled again! "

…………

"Nevertheless, the other faces are beauty that will strip you of your heart!" Not only women, but also men! Especially you! "

Tikatras pointed at the table next to him with his fingertips.

"You feel something incredibly powerful!" He's as passionate as a fire, and he's as strong as a tree, but... you're the first to be blindfolded! You're not going to be my squire, are you? "

"... I'm sorry, but I'm not going to throw it away near the forest"

"I see, I see!" Hmm, that's mindless! Dégion! Vichezo! I wonder if it will be difficult for you to defeat him after all? ”

"... whether Vichezzo and I fight to the death, it seems like victory will be difficult."

Degion answered in a gloomy voice, and Vichezzo burned his eyes. With all these hunters in sight, Vichezzo seemed more pressed than ever.

"What, Vichezzo's got scary eyes!" There's no reason to compete with the people around the forest, so you don't have to worry about anything like that! "

"...... I just feel sorry for myself"

"Even you guys are swordsmen who don't have to be embarrassed to cum everywhere!" Thanks to you, I can enjoy my journey without taking extra soldiers! ”

Tikatras put his hand on Vichezzo's shoulder with a pleasant smile.

Is it my preconception that I felt a paternal love there? However, it should have been a fact that Vichezzo's eyesight was a little wobbly.

Tikatras wore flamboyant costumes similar to those of the first day, and Deghion and Vichezzo wore white and black costumes that were dressed up as servants.

How does this strange master appear in the eyes of Ziza = Luu? For my part, I was intensely concerned.

"Now! Let's start the dinner party!" I don't think you need anything more than a nice greeting! Asta, let me cook for you! "

"I understand." Now, please. "

The little surname I kept beside me bowed and disappeared outside the door.

The food that was brought to the next room was loaded onto a bunch of wagons and carried in - and then Tikatras said, "Oh!” He made his eyes shine.

"If you think this beautiful woman is here again, you're Yun-Sudra!" Besides, you look great for the first time! Don't you want to be my squire? "

"I'm sorry." I am determined to return my soul to the Mother Forest. "

It was Reina = Lou who responded in this way. Reina-Lou and Yun-Sudra joined us to separate the dishes.

Usually, this kind of clothing is worn in the castle town, but when I made a request in advance, I was told that it was not necessary to change clothes. To be sure, Tikatras is a type that doesn't value extra manners. Still, it seemed that it was not a matter of courtesy or manners that made the attendees wear semi-appropriate decorations, but that they were just flashy.

In the hall, the fragrance of our prepared food is injected, and it is separated by the hands of Reina = Lou and the others. Reina = Lou and the others borrowed their help on purpose because they thought it would be difficult for a maid or son-in-law to serve Shaska.

Ah, Tikatras-sama, this is Jo-Ran I just spoke to you about.

Then Princess Dellshare calls to Tikatras to greet Degion. Joe-Lan was also near the door to escort Reina-Lou and the others. In this figure, Tikatras said again, "Huh!” he raised his voice.

"The young man over there has a very beautiful appearance!" Both of them were attractive young people together with Ai = Fa...... Hmm, if everyone was attractive until now, they would be more and more interested in the people around the forest! "

So, what about the portrait?

"Oh, that young man wants to see a portrait, right?" Of course! There is no reason to turn down such a wish! Yun-Sudra and your beautiful lady would love to see my work! When it's time to show off your portraits, we'll invite the rest of the people from the forest that are visiting today! ”

Joe-Lan looked happy and bowed, "Thank you." Ei = Fa seemed to care at heart, watching such exchanges silently.

Meanwhile, every dish was served on its own table.

After completing their roles, Reina-Lou and the others left the room, and Tikatras said, "Huh! Repeat the exclamation."

"This is a pleasant dish to look at!" Which dish was awarded the medal at His Highness Dakarmas' tasting? ”

“This hamburger curry and raw spring rolls.”

The lid was a dish made at the request of Tikatras. I told the messenger who came the day before that that Hamburg needed an aria, so I secured the necessary amount of people for the castle town at the market this morning.

The short-sized hamburger was made using Giba Tan and sealed with gamma cheese inside, because it was said that it should have exactly the same content as the tasting. The curry is seasoned in a Japanese style because it is served in a granular shaska. The ingredients were also the simplest combination of Aria, Nenon, and Chatch.

There are three kinds of all-purpose spring rolls. Finely sliced pellets and Nenon, rolled with rose meat of Tinfa and Giba with hot water. Boiled maroons like ama shrimp, rolled together with Ma Tino, Onda and Pere. The tuna flakes are simmered in Jorah's oil with mayonnaise, and finely sliced neon and ma pla are mixed in the leaves. The later sauce was unified in a plum shiso-style with dried kiki dried with dried plum and mochi.

"At the tasting, you were awarded a medal for raw spring rolls made with this gibberish meat." We have prepared two other varieties today. "

I see! It would have been a very special consideration for Lord Hermes to not be able to eat beast meat!

The table next door, Vermes, threw a gracious smile at me from a distance. I would like to thank you for your statement, but it seems that I have to wait for the next opportunity.

And for the first time in months, it's the Underboss's Aug. Augg was sitting tightly enough to look grumpy as ever, and he was always looking at Tikatras. Lara-Lou was able to have an exchange on the verge of Augg leaving Genos, so it was at least salvation that you were present.

“We've prepared a juice dish and side dishes that can be harmonized with this lid. I hope you like it.”

"Well then, let's get started!" Noo, this is going to make your chest scream! "

Tikatras picked up the dishes in a sparkling mood, so other people did the same.

The soup dish is a simple seasoning that uses plenty of vegetables, eggs, and mushrooms while extruding the kimusu stock to the front, and I don't use any gibbons here either. On the other hand, they also prepare a large Chinese stir-fry with plenty of Giba meat, which is not strange as a main course dish. After that, it was quite troublesome to balance Jora's deep-fried dumplings like tuna flakes and the cold shabu-shabu salad of Giba meat for the compatriots on the edge of the forest who loved Vermes and Giba meat who could not eat veal.

In any case, the main thing was the hamburger curry and the raw spring rolls, but Tikatras, who chewed the pâté with the cheese, along with the curry and shasca, said, "Oh!" He let out a cry of joy.

"This taste, this texture!" This is the first time I've ever tasted such a dish! This meat is reminiscent of the gamma's intestinal flesh, but is this also gibbous meat? "

"Yes, the site will be your tongue." This dish, Hamburg, is too small to chew, so I decided to use a firm, fleshy tongue. ”

"Huh! Dare to finely chop hard flesh parts to create this texture!" Even though it's very soft, it has a bite, and it feels really strange! "

After all, there are only gastronomers, and the comments seem to be similar.

"Besides, this Shaska! I've spoken to Shaska a few times, but it doesn't look alike!" This sticky texture is still unique to Shaska, but... yes! They're not alike after all! It's such a pleasant texture that each of these small grains has a sticky and elastic texture! "

"It's really delicious, isn't it? That's why we bought Shaska without hesitation.”

Princess Dersheer lovingly struck a hammer because the Porters were reluctant.

Tikatras looked at her face and said, "I see!” he nods.

"Shaska is an eastern ingredient, but there is no national boundary for delicious food!" This herb-based seasoning is also excellent! I can't imagine how many vanilla plants are mixed! ”

"Yes, it's a taste completely unfamiliar to the people of the South, but I'm fascinated by it with a single mouthful." That's why we have arranged for herbs to be purchased not only from Gerd, but also from Gigi. "

“I see! If you're from the South, you won't get a chance to taste your Sims' herbs!”

Tikatras looked back toward Vichezzo with a grin.

"This is what Princess Dellshare says!" What do you think of this dish, Vichezzo? "

"... I think meat and shasca are delicious. But I still don't think you're good at these kinds of flavors.”

Vichezzo frowned and filled her mouth with cold chatch tea.

Tikatras said, "I see!” he laughed.

"I don't think it's hard enough to make such a face!" After all, your tongue seems to be as sensitive as a baby's! "

"Oh, Master Vichezzo doesn't like vanilla?" It seems to be drawing blood from the east, but I'm surprised. "

When Princess Dell Share clutched her mouth strangely, Tikatras raised the edge of her mouth more happily.

“Often misunderstood, Vichezzo has nothing to do with Sims! Her mother is the people of Diloia!”

"The people of Diloia... it's an unknown name."

"The people of Diloia are the people of the world!" In the West Dragon Sea, she was notorious as a family of black women pirates, but of course her mother was not a pirate, but an honest sailor on a merchant ship! "

In the room, stunned thoughts were blowing like a hurricane.

"Ti, Lord Tikatras, did you say that you are a people who have come?" I heard that the people from the north are like the people from the north... "

When Por-Earth asked, Tikatras said, "No, no!” he waved.

"The appearance of the people of the North is probably the people of Lacure who worship the Blue Dragon God!" It is true that the people of Lacure are responsible for most of the trade in the Derm, but the people of Diloia, who worship the Black Dragon God, and the people of Bod, who worship the Red Dragon God, have visited many of them! However, they will never get off the ship, so they will only have a chance to see a human doing business in the Derm! Perhaps the perception of the people who came from the past, the people of Lacure, has spread! "

"Why do they not get off the ship?"

From the table next to it, Dalí-Saudi asked in a calm voice.

Tikatras looked back at you with a smile on his face.

"That's right! They're afraid of the [Breath of Amthorn]!" If you get sick from getting old, the lethality will increase many times! That's why I don't wander around the port city of Durham, only the people of Lacure who don't know life! "

"I see... the humans born outside of Amthorne are not exposed to the [Breath of Amthorn] at a young age, so such danger will arise."

"That's right!... and you claim to be a people of foreign origin, Asta of the House of Fa."

Tikatras turned towards me with a smile on his face.

Ai = Fa, sitting in front of me, glows with blue eyes as she glances towards Tikatras. Tikatras and Ai-Fa's Vichezzo also burned their eyes to fight it.

"If that's true, you're also at risk of developing [Breath of Amthorn]!"... or have you already developed it and tasted the pain of hell? It seems that it wasn't even written in Lord Hermes's report. "

"No, that's..."

"Well, I'm not a diplomat or an inspector!" What matters to me is that you're a good cook! There was no mistake in Lord Dakarmas' tongue! You must be the best cook in Genos! Let me pay a full tribute to your good skills, Asta! "

Tikatras laughed innocently as the wind blew around him.

With such an elegant smile, Vermes stared at Tikatras with his mysterious hazel-eye.
